This Security Instrument is also intended to, among other things, encumber and create a security interest in, and Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants, bargains, assigns, conveys, pledges, mortgages, transfers, sets over and confirms unto Lender and hereby grants to Lender a security interest in, all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to fixtures, chattels, accounts, deposit accounts, equipment, inventory, contract rights, general intangibles and other personal property included within the Property, all renewals, replacements of any of the aforementioned items, or articles in substitution therefor or in addition thereto or the proceeds thereof (said property is hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Collateral”), whether or not the same shall be attached to the Real Estate or the Improvements in any manner. It is hereby agreed that to the extent permitted by law, all of the foregoing property is to be deemed and held to be a part of and affixed to the Real Estate and the Improvements. The foregoing security interest shall also cover Borrower’s leasehold interest in any of the foregoing property which is leased by Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all of the foregoing property shall be owned by Borrower and no leasing or installment sales or other financing or title retention agreement in connection therewith, shall be permitted without the prior written approval of Lender. Borrower shall, from time to time upon reasonable request of Lender, supply Lender with a current inventory of all of the property in which Lender is granted a security interest hereunder, in such detail as Lender may reasonably require. Borrower shall promptly replace all of the Collateral subject to the lien or security interest of this Security Instrument when worn out or obsolete with Collateral comparable to the worn out or obsolete Collateral when new, and will not, without the prior written consent of Lender, remove from the Real Estate or the Improvements any of the Collateral subject to the lien or security interest of this Security Instrument, except in the ordinary course of operating the Property and except such as is replaced by an article of equal suitability and value as above provided, owned by Borrower free and clear of any lien or security interest except that created by this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and except as otherwise expressly permitted by the terms of this Security Instrument and the Loan Agreement.

2.4 Security Agreement. This Security Instrument constitutes a security agreement between Borrower and Lender with respect to the Collateral (including, without limitation, the Reserve Accounts) in which Lender is granted a security interest hereunder, and, cumulative of all other rights and remedies of Lender hereunder, Lender shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC. Borrower hereby agrees to execute and deliver on demand and hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender the attorney-in-fact of Borrower to execute and deliver and, if appropriate, to file with the appropriate filing officer or office such security agreements, financing statements or other instruments as Lender may reasonably request or require in order to impose, perfect or continue the perfection of the lien or security interest created hereby; provided, however, that Lender agrees not to exercise such power of attorney unless an Event of Default exists continuing beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period. Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to file any financing statements or continuation statements thereof on Borrower’s behalf. Except with respect to Rents and Profits to the extent specifically provided herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, Lender shall have the right of possession of all cash, securities, instruments, negotiable instruments, documents, certificates and any other evidences of cash or other property or evidences of rights to cash rather than property, which are now or hereafter a part of the Property, and, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder or under any other Loan Document which is continuing beyond expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period, upon written notice from Lender, Borrower shall promptly deliver the same to Lender, endorsed to Lender. Borrower agrees to furnish Lender with notice of any change in the name, identity, state of organization, residence, or principal place of business or mailing address of Borrower within ten (10) days of the effective date of any such change. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder which remains uncured and is continuing beyond expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period, Lender shall have the rights and remedies as prescribed in this Security Instrument, or as prescribed by general law, or as prescribed by any applicable UCC, all at Lender’s election. Without implying any limitation upon the foregoing, Lender may, at its option, proceed against the Collateral in accordance with the provisions of the UCC as enacted in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, or Lender may proceed as to both the real and personal property comprising the Property in accordance with this Security Instrument, or as otherwise provided at law or in equity. Any disposition of the Collateral may be conducted by an employee or agent of Lender. Any Person, including both Borrower and Lender, shall be eligible to purchase any part or all of the Collateral at any such disposition. Reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling or the like (including, without limitation, Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses), together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date incurred by Lender until actually paid by Borrower, shall be paid by Borrower on demand and shall be secured by this Security Instrument and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note. Lender shall have the right to enter upon the Real Estate and the Improvements (subject to the rights of tenants under their respective Leases) or any real property where any of the property which is the subject of the security interests granted herein is located to take possession of, assemble and collect the same or to render it unusable, or Borrower, upon demand of Lender, shall assemble such property and make it available to Lender at the Real Estate, a place which is hereby deemed to be reasonably convenient to Lender and Borrower. If notice is required by law, Lender shall give Borrower not
8
less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale of such property or of the time of or after which any private sale or any other intended disposition thereof is to be made, and if such notice is sent to Borrower, as the same is provided for the mailing of notices herein, it is hereby deemed that such notice shall be and is reasonable notice to Borrower. No such notice is necessary for any such property which is perishable, threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market. Furthermore, to the extent permitted by law, in conjunction with, in addition to or in substitution for the rights and remedies available to Lender pursuant to any applicable UCC:
(a) In the event of a foreclosure sale, the Collateral may, at the option of Lender, be sold as a whole;
(b) It shall not be necessary that Lender take possession of the aforementioned Collateral, or any part thereof, prior to the time that any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.4 is conducted and it shall not be necessary that said Collateral, or any part thereof, be present at the location of such sale; and
(c) Lender may appoint or delegate any one or more Persons as agent to perform any act or acts necessary or incident to any sale held by Lender, including the sending of notices and the conduct of the sale, but in the name and on behalf of Lender.

It is agreed that any future advances made by Lender to or for the benefit of Borrower from time to time under this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents and whether or not such advances are obligatory or are made at the option of Lender, or otherwise, and all interest accruing thereon, shall be equally secured by this Security Instrument and shall have the same priority as all amounts, if any, advanced as of the date hereof and shall be subject to all of the terms and provisions of this Security Instrument.

ARTICLE III
ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS AND OTHER SUMS
3.1 Assignment.
(a) Borrower has, by the Assignment of Leases and Rents executed, delivered and recorded simultaneously herewith (the “Assignment of Leases”), assigned to Lender, all of its right, title and interest in and to the Leases and the Rents and Profits described therein. The Assignment of Leases is intended to be and is an absolute present assignment from Borrower to Lender and not merely the passing of a security interest. The Rents and Profits are hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigned by Borrower to Lender. Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that Borrower has delivered to Lender (i) a true, correct and complete copy of the Lender-Approved Lease Form, and (ii) true, correct and complete Rent Roll that accurately represents all Leases, certified by Borrower as being true, correct and complete, as of the date hereof.
(b) So long as there shall exist no Event of Default hereunder which remains uncured beyond expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period and except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Borrower shall have the right and license to exercise all rights, options and privileges extended to the landlord under the Leases, including the right to collect all Rents and Profits and the right to receive the proceeds of any claims arising pursuant to the Leases. Borrower agrees to hold such Rents and Profits and the proceeds of any such claim, or a portion thereof in an amount sufficient to discharge and pay all then current Obligations which are or become due, in trust and to use the same in the payment of such Obligations (including, without limitation, all Impositions and insurance premiums then payable) and all other costs, charges, accruals or expenses then incurred on, against or in connection with the operation of the Property.
(c) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default which remains uncured beyond expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period, the right and license set forth in subsection (b) of this Section 3.1 shall be deemed automatically revoked by Lender as of the date of such Event of Default which remains uncured beyond expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period, whereupon Lender shall have the right and authority to exercise any of the rights or remedies referred to or set forth in Article VI. In addition, upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default, Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender or cause to be delivered to Lender (i) all rent prepayments and security or other deposits paid to Borrower pursuant to any Lease assigned hereunder, (ii) all original security deposits in the form of letters of credit, and (iii) all deposits for the payment of operating expenses and charges for services or facilities or for escalations which were paid pursuant to any such Lease to the extent allocable to any period from and after such Event of Default.
ARTICLE IV
DUE ON SALE/ENCUMBRANCE
4.1 Lender Reliance. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has examined and relied on the experience of Borrower and its general partners, managing members, principals and (if Borrower is a trust) beneficial owners in owning and operating properties such as the Property in
10
agreeing to make the Loan, and will continue to rely on Borrower’s ownership of the Property as a means of maintaining the value of the Property as security for payment and performance of the Obligations. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Property so as to ensure that, should Borrower default in the payment or the performance of the Obligations, Lender can recover the indebtedness evidenced by the Note by a sale of the Property.
4.2 No Sale/Encumbrance. Borrower shall not permit or suffer any Transfer to occur, unless specifically permitted by Article VII of the Loan Agreement or unless Lender shall consent thereto in writing.
ARTICLE V
DEFAULTS

ARTICLE VI
REMEDIES
6.1 Remedies Available. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default which remains uncured beyond expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period, Borrower agrees that Lender may take such action, without notice or demand except to the extent otherwise expressly required hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, as Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce or Lender’s rights against Borrower and in and to the Property, including, but not limited to, the following actions, each of which may be pursued concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine, in its sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender:
(a) Acceleration. Accelerate the maturity date of the Note and declare any or all of the indebtedness secured hereby to be immediately due and payable without any presentment, demand, protest, notice of nonpayment or nonperformance, notice of protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration or any other notice or action of any kind whatever except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or in any of the other Loan Documents (each of which is hereby expressly waived by Borrower), whereupon the same shall become immediately due and payable. Upon any such acceleration of the Note, payment of such accelerated amount shall constitute a prepayment of the principal balance of the Note and any applicable prepayment fee and/or any amount payable upon such prepayment provided for in the Note shall then be immediately due and payable.
(b) Entry on the Property. Either in Person or by agent, with or without bringing any action or proceeding, or by a receiver appointed by a court and without regard to the adequacy of its security, enter upon and take possession of the Property, or any part thereof, without force or with such force as is permitted by law, without notice or process or with such notice or process as is required by law unless such notice and process is waivable, in which case Borrower hereby waives such notice and process, and without liability for trespass, damages or otherwise, and do any and all acts, perform any and all
11
work and take possession of any and all books, records and accounts which may be desirable or necessary in Lender’s judgment to complete any unfinished construction on the Real Estate, to preserve the value, marketability or rentability of the Property, to increase the income therefrom, to manage and operate the Property or to protect the security hereof and all sums expended by Lender therefor, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, shall be immediately due and payable to Lender by Borrower on demand and shall be secured hereby and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note.
(c) Collect Rents and Profits. With or without taking possession of the Property, sue for or otherwise collect the Rents and Profits, including those past due and unpaid.
(d) Appointment of Receiver. Upon, or at any time prior or after, instituting any judicial foreclosure or instituting any other foreclosure of the liens and security interests provided for herein or any other legal proceedings hereunder, make application to a court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a receiver for all or any part of the Property, as a matter of strict right and without notice to Borrower and without regard to the adequacy of the Property for the repayment of the Obligations or the solvency of Borrower or any Person or Persons liable for the payment of the indebtedness secured hereby, and Borrower does hereby irrevocably consent to such appointment, waives any and all notices of and defenses to such appointment and agrees not to oppose any application therefor by Lender, but nothing herein is to be construed to deprive Lender of any other right, remedy or privilege Lender may now have under the law to have a receiver appointed; provided, however, that, the appointment of such receiver, trustee or other appointee by virtue of any court order, statute or regulation shall not impair or in any manner prejudice the rights of Lender to receive payment of the Rents and Profits pursuant to other terms and provisions hereof. Any such receiver shall have all of the usual powers and duties of receivers in similar cases, including, without limitation, the full power to hold, develop, rent, lease, manage, maintain, operate and otherwise use or permit the use of the Property upon such terms and conditions as said receiver may deem to be prudent and reasonable under the circumstances as more fully set forth in Section 6.3 herein below. Such receivership shall, at the option of Lender, continue until full payment of all of the indebtedness secured hereby or until title to the Property shall have passed by foreclosure sale under this Security Instrument or deed in lieu of foreclosure.
(e) Foreclosure. Institute a proceeding or proceedings, judicial or otherwise (including, without limitation, by power of sale to the extent available to Lender under applicable law, it being understood and agreed that Borrower hereby expressly grants Lender such power of sale), for the complete foreclosure of this Security Instrument under any applicable law. Institute a proceeding or proceedings, judicial or otherwise (including, without limitation, by power of sale to the extent available to Lender under applicable law, it being understood and agreed that Borrower hereby expressly grants Lender such power of sale), for the partial foreclosure of this Security Instrument under any applicable law for the portion of the Obligations then due and payable, subject to the lien of this Security Instrument continuing unimpaired and without loss of priority so as to secure the balance of the Obligations not then due and payable.
12
(1) If Lender is the purchaser of the Property, or any part thereof, at any sale thereof, whether such sale be under the powers of sale hereinabove, or upon any other foreclosure of the liens and security interests hereof, or otherwise, Lender shall, upon any such purchase, unless otherwise indicated in any writing evidencing such purchase, acquire good title to the Property so purchased, free of the liens and security interests created by the Loan Documents.
(2) In the event a foreclosure hereunder should be commenced, Lender may at any time before the sale abandon the sale, and may then institute suit for the collection of the Loan, or for the foreclosure of the liens and security interests hereof. If Lender should institute a suit for the collection of the Loan, or for a foreclosure of the liens and security interests hereof, it may at any time before the entry of a final judgment in said suit dismiss the same, and dispose of the Property, or any part thereof, in accordance with the provisions of this Security Instrument.
(3) It is agreed that in any deed or deeds given, any and all statements of fact or other recitals therein made as to the identity of the Lender or as to the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default or other default, or as to the acceleration of the maturity of the Loan, or as to the request to sell, notice of sale, time, place, terms, and manner of sale, and receipt, distribution and application of the money realized therefrom, and, without being limited by the foregoing, as to any other act or thing having been duly done by Lender shall be accepted by all courts of law and equity as prima facie evidence that the said statements or recitals are correct and are without further questions to be so accepted.
(f) Other Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and remains uncured beyond expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period, this Security Instrument may, to the maximum extent permitted by law, be enforced, and Lender may exercise any right, power or remedy permitted to it hereunder, under the Loan Documents or by law or in equity, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender may, personally or by its agents, to the maximum extent permitted by law:
(1) enter into and take possession of the Property or any part thereof, exclude Borrower and all parties claiming under Borrower whose claims are junior to this Security Instrument, wholly or partly therefrom, and use, operate, manage and control the Property or any part thereof either in the name of Borrower or otherwise as Lender shall deem best, and upon such entry, from time to time at the expense of Borrower and the Property, make all such repairs, replacements, alterations, additions or improvements to the Property or any part thereof as Lender may deem reasonably proper and, whether or not Lender has so entered and taken possession of the Property or any part thereof, collect and receive all Rents and Profits and apply the same to the payment of all expenses that Lender may be authorized to make under this Security Instrument, the remainder to be applied to the payment of obligations under the Loan Documents until the same shall have been repaid in full; if Lender demands or attempts to take possession of the Property or any part thereof in the exercise of any rights hereunder, Borrower shall promptly turn over and deliver complete possession thereof to Lender;
13
(2) cause any or all of the Property to be sold under the power of sale in any manner permitted by applicable law. For any sale under the power of sale granted by this Security Instrument, Lender shall record and give all notices required by law and then, upon the expiration of such time as is required by law, may sell the Property, and all estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand of Borrower therein, and all rights of redemption thereof, at one or more sales, as an entity or in parcels, with such elements of real and/or personal property (and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, may elect to deem all of the Property to be real property for purposes thereof), and at such time or place and upon such terms as Lender may deem expedient, or as may be required by applicable law. Upon any sale, Lender shall execute and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers a deed or deeds conveying the property sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied, and the recitals in the deed or deeds of any facts affecting the regularity or validity of the sale will be conclusive against all Persons. In the event of a sale, by foreclosure or otherwise, of less than all of the Property, this Security Instrument shall continue as a lien and security interest on the remaining portion of the Security Instrument Property;
(3) proceed to protect and enforce their rights under this Security Instrument, by suit for specific performance of any covenant contained herein or in the Loan Documents or in aid of the execution of any power granted herein or in the Loan Documents, or for the enforcement of any other right as Lender shall elect, provided, that in the event of a sale, by foreclosure or otherwise, of less than all of the Property, this Security Instrument shall continue as a lien on, and security interest in, the remaining portion of the Property;
(4) apply any sums then deposited or held in escrow or otherwise by or on behalf of Lender in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document and/or the Accounts to the payment of the following items in any order in its sole discretion: (i) Impositions; (ii) insurance premiums; (iii) interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Obligations; (iv) amortization of the unpaid principal balance of the Debt; (v) all other sums payable pursuant to the Note, the Loan Agreement, this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation advances made by Lender pursuant to the terms of this Security Instrument;
(5) surrender the insurance policies maintained pursuant to the Loan Agreement, collect the unearned insurance premiums for such insurance policies and apply such sums as a credit on the Debt in such priority and proportion as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper, and in connection therewith, Borrower hereby appoints Lender as agent and attorney-in-fact (which is coupled with an interest and is therefore irrevocable) for Borrower to collect such insurance premiums;
(6) apply the undisbursed balance of any deposit made by Borrower with Lender in connection with the restoration of the Property after a casualty thereto or condemnation thereof, together with interest thereon, to the payment of
14
the Debt in such order, priority and proportions as Lender shall deem to be appropriate in its discretion
(7) exercise any or all of the remedies available to a secured party under the applicable UCC, including, without limitation:
(i) either personally or by means of a court-appointed receiver, take possession of all or any of the Property and exclude therefrom Borrower and all parties claiming under Borrower, and thereafter hold, store, use, operate, manage, maintain and control, make repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements to and exercise all rights and powers of Borrower in respect of the Property or any part thereof; if Lender demands or attempts to take possession of the Property in the exercise of any rights hereunder, Borrower shall promptly turn over and deliver complete possession thereof to Lender;
(ii) without further notice to or demand upon Borrower, make such payments and do such acts as Lender may deem necessary to protect its security interest in the Property, including, without limitation, paying, purchasing, contesting or compromising any encumbrance that is prior to or superior to the security interest granted hereunder, and in exercising any such powers or authority paying all expenses incurred in connection therewith which expenses shall thereafter become part of the obligations secured by this Security Instrument;
(iii) require Borrower to assemble the Property or any portion thereof, at a place designated by Lender and reasonably convenient to both parties, and promptly to deliver the Property to Lender, or an agent or representative designated by it; Lender, and each of its agents and representatives, shall have the right to enter upon the premises and property of Borrower to exercise the rights of Lender hereunder;
(iv) sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the Property, with or without having the Property at the place of sale, and upon such terms and in such manner as Lender may determine (and Lender may be a purchaser at any such sale); provided, however, that Lender, may dispose of the Property in accordance with Lender’s rights and remedies in respect of the Property pursuant to the provisions of this Security Instrument in lieu of proceeding under the applicable UCC; and
(v) Lender shall give Borrower at least ten (10) days’ prior notice of the time and place of any sale of the Property or other intended disposition thereof, which notice Borrower agrees is commercially reasonable; and/or
(8) pursue such other remedies as Lender may have under applicable law.
15
(g) Lender may resort for the payment of the Loan to any other security for the debt held by Lender in such order and manner as Lender, in its discretion, may elect. Lender may take action to recover the Loan, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Lender thereafter to foreclose this Security Instrument. The rights of Lender under this Security Instrument shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision. Lender shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law or in equity.
(h) Lost Documents. All rights of action under the Note, this Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents may be enforced by Lender without the possession of the original Loan Documents and without the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto.
6.2 Application of Proceeds.
(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the proceeds of any foreclosure sale under this Security Instrument shall be applied to the extent funds are so available to the following items in such order as Lender in its discretion may determine:
(i) to payment of the reasonable costs, expenses and fees of taking possession of the Property, and of holding, operating, maintaining, using, leasing, repairing, improving, marketing and selling the same and of otherwise enforcing Lender’s right and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, receivers’ fees, court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, accountants’, appraisers’, managers’ and other professional fees, title charges and transfer taxes.
(ii) to payment of all sums expended by Lender under the terms of any of the Loan Documents and not yet repaid, together with interest on such sums at the Default Rate.
(iii) (to payment of the secured indebtedness and all other obligations secured by this Security Instrument, including, without limitation, interest at the Default Rate and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any payment due upon a deemed prepayment of the principal balance of the Note, and any applicable prepayment fee, charge or premium required to be paid under the Note in order to prepay principal, in any order that Lender chooses in its sole discretion.
(iv) to the extent permitted by Governmental Regulations, to be set aside by Lender as adequate security in its judgment for the payment of sums which would have been paid by application under clauses (i) through (iii) above to Lender, arising out of an obligation or liability with respect to
16
which Borrower has agreed to indemnify Lender, but which sums are not yet due and payable or liquidated.
The remainder, if any, of such funds shall be disbursed to Borrower or to the Person or Persons legally entitled thereto, except as otherwise provided by law.
(b) No sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Property pursuant to Section 6.1 shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations under the Loan Documents, except to the extent the proceeds thereof are applied to the payment of such obligations. If the proceeds of sale, collection or other realization of or upon the Property are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such realization and the payment in full of any amounts due under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency pursuant to the terms of Section 6.8 hereof, subject to the terms of Section 10.1 of the Loan Agreement.
6.3 Right and Authority of Receiver or Lender in the Event of Default; Power of Attorney. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which remains uncured beyond expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period and entry upon the Property pursuant to Section 6.1(b) hereof or appointment of a receiver pursuant to Section 6.1(d) hereof, and under such terms and conditions as may be prudent and reasonable under the circumstances in Lender’s or the receiver’s sole discretion, all at Borrower’s expense, Lender, or said receiver, or such other Persons or entities as they shall hire, direct or engage, as the case may be, may (but shall have no obligation to) do or permit one or more of the following, successively or concurrently:
(a) enter upon and take possession and control of any and all of the Property (subject to the rights of tenants under their respective Leases);
(b) take and maintain possession of all documents, books, records, papers and accounts relating to the Property;
(c) exclude Borrower and its agents, servants and employees wholly from the Property;
(d) manage and operate the Property;
(e) preserve and maintain the Property;
(f) make repairs and alterations to the Property;
(g) complete any construction or repair of the Improvements, with such changes, additions or modifications of the plans and specifications or intended disposition and use of the Improvements as Lender may in its reasonable discretion deem appropriate or desirable to place the Property in such condition as will, in Lender’s reasonable discretion, make it or any part thereof readily marketable or rentable;
(h) conduct a marketing or leasing program with respect to the Property, or employ a marketing or leasing agent or agents to do so, directed to the leasing or sale of
17
the Property under such terms and conditions as Lender may in its sole discretion deem appropriate or desirable;
(i) employ such contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, architects, engineers, consultants, managers, brokers, marketing agents, or other employees, agents, independent contractors or professionals, as Lender may in its reasonable discretion deem appropriate or desirable to implement and effectuate the rights and powers herein granted;
(j) execute and deliver, in the name of Borrower as attorney-in-fact and agent of Borrower or in its own name as Lender, such documents and instruments as are necessary or appropriate to consummate authorized transactions; provided, however, that such power of attorney shall not be exercised unless an Event of Default that is continuing beyond expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period exists;
(k) enter into such leases, whether of real or personal property, or tenancy agreements, under such terms and conditions as Lender may in its sole discretion deem appropriate or desirable;
(l) collect and receive the Rents and Profits from the Property;
(m) eject tenants or repossess personal property, as provided by law, for breaches of the conditions of their leases or other agreements;
(n) sue for unpaid Rents and Profits, payments, income or proceeds in the name of Borrower or Lender or such receiver;
(o) maintain actions in forcible entry and detainer, ejectment for possession and actions in distress for rent;
(p) compromise or give acquaintance for Rents and Profits, payments, income or proceeds that may become due;
(q) delegate or assign any and all rights and powers given to Lender by this Security Instrument; and/or
(r) do any other acts which Lender in its reasonable discretion deems appropriate or desirable to protect the security hereof and use such measures, legal or equitable, as Lender may in its reasonable discretion deem appropriate or desirable to implement and effectuate the provisions of this Security Instrument. This Security Instrument shall constitute a direction to and full authority to any tenant, or other third party who has heretofore dealt or contracted or may hereafter deal or contract with Borrower or Lender, at the request of Lender upon the occurrence of an Event of Default that continues beyond expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period, to pay all amounts owing under any lease, contract, concession, license or other agreement to Lender without proof of the default relied upon. Any such tenant or third party is hereby irrevocably authorized to rely upon and comply with (and shall be fully protected by Borrower in so doing) any request, notice or demand by Lender for the payment to Lender of any Rents and Profits or other sums which may be or thereafter become due under its
18
lease, contract, concession, license or other agreement, or for the performance of any undertakings under any such lease, contract, concession, license or other agreement, and shall have no right or duty to inquire whether any default under this Security Instrument or under any of the other Loan Documents has actually occurred or is then existing. Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints Lender, its assignees, successors, transferees and nominees, as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, with full power of substitution in the Property, in Borrower’s name, place and stead, upon an Event of Default which remains uncured beyond expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period to do or permit any one or more of the foregoing described rights, remedies, powers and authorities, successively or concurrently, and said power of attorney shall be deemed a power coupled with an interest and irrevocable so long as any indebtedness secured hereby is outstanding. Any money advanced by Lender in connection with any action taken under this Section 6.3, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of making such advancement by Lender until actually paid by Borrower, shall be a demand obligation owing by Borrower to Lender and shall be secured by this Security Instrument and by every other instrument securing the secured indebtedness.
6.4 Occupancy After Foreclosure. In case the liens or security interests of this Security Instrument shall be foreclosed, and Borrower or Borrower’s representatives, successors or assigns, or any other Persons claiming any interest in the Property by, through or under Borrower (which, for purposes of this Section 6.4 does not include any tenant under a written Lease, provided such tenant is not an Affiliate of Borrower) are occupying or using the Property, or any part thereof, then, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, each and all shall, at the option of Lender or the purchaser at such sale, as the case may be, immediately become the tenant of the purchaser at such sale, which tenancy shall be a tenancy at sufferance, terminable at the will of landlord, at a reasonable rental per day based upon the value of the Property occupied or used, such rental to be due daily to the purchaser. Further, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event the tenant fails to forthwith surrender possession of the Property upon the termination of such tenancy, the purchaser shall be entitled to institute and maintain an action for unlawful detainer of the Property in the appropriate court of the county in which the Real Estate is located, and anyone occupying the Property after demand made for possession thereof shall be subject to eviction and removal, forcible or otherwise, with or without process of law, and all damages by reason thereof are hereby expressly waived.
6.5 Notice to Account Debtors. Lender may, at any time after the occurrence, and during the continuance of an Event of Default beyond expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period, notify the account debtors and obligors of any accounts, chattel paper, negotiable instruments or other evidences of indebtedness to Borrower included in the Property to pay Lender directly. Borrower shall at any time or from time to time upon the reasonable request of Lender provide to Lender a current list of all such account debtors and obligors and their addresses.
6.6 Cumulative Remedies. All remedies contained in this Security Instrument are cumulative and Lender shall also have all other remedies provided at law and in equity or in any other Loan Documents. Such remedies may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently at the sole subjective direction of Lender and may be exercised in any order and as often as occasion therefor shall arise. No act of Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any particular provisions of this Security Instrument to the exclusion of any other provision of this
19
Security Instrument or as an election of remedies to the exclusion of any other remedy which may then or thereafter be available to Lender. No delay or failure by Lender to exercise any right or remedy under this Security Instrument shall be construed to be a waiver of that right or remedy or of any default hereunder. Lender may exercise any one or more of its rights and remedies at its option without regard to the adequacy of its security.
6.7 Intentionally Omitted.
6.8 Deficiency. Subject to the terms of Section 10.1 of the Loan Agreement and subject to applicable laws, Borrower acknowledges and agrees as follows:
(a) In the event an interest in any of the Property is foreclosed, Borrower agrees as follows: Lender shall be entitled to seek a deficiency judgment from Borrower and any other party obligated on the Note equal to the difference between the amount upon which Borrower is personally liable under the Note and the amount for which the Property was sold pursuant to judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure sale. Borrower expressly recognizes that this Section 6.8 constitutes a waiver of any and all Commonwealth of Massachusetts Governmental Regulations which would otherwise permit Borrower and other Persons (if any) against whom recovery of deficiencies is sought (even absent the initiation of deficiency proceedings against them) to present competent evidence of the fair market value of the Property as of the date of the foreclosure sale and to offset against any deficiency the amount by which the foreclosure sale price is determined to be less than such fair market value. Borrower further recognizes and agrees that this waiver creates an irrebuttable presumption that the foreclosure sale price is equal to the fair market value of the Property for purposes of calculating deficiencies owed by Borrower and others (if any) against whom recovery of a deficiency is sought.
(b) In connection with any valuation of the Property as part of a foreclosure and sale, the following shall be the basis for the finder of fact’s determination of the fair market value of the Property as of the date of the foreclosure sale in proceedings: (a) the Property shall be valued in an “as is” condition as of the date of the foreclosure sale, without any assumption or expectation that the Property will be repaired or improved in any manner before a resale of the Property after foreclosure; (b) the valuation shall be based upon an assumption that the foreclosure purchaser desires a resale of the Property for cash promptly (but no later than twelve (12) months) following the foreclosure sale; (c) all reasonable closing costs customarily borne by the seller in commercial real estate transactions should be deducted from the gross fair market value of the Property, including, without limitation, brokerage commissions, title insurance, a survey of the Property, tax prorations, reasonable attorneys’ fees and marketing costs; (d) the gross fair market value of the Property shall be further discounted to account for any estimated holding costs associated with maintaining the Property pending sale, including, without limitation, utilities expenses, property management fees, taxes and assessments (to the extent not accounted for in (c) above), and other maintenance, operational and ownership expenses; and (e) any expert opinion testimony given or considered in connection with a determination of the fair market value of the Property must be given by Persons having at least five (5) years experience in appraising property similar to the Property and who have conducted and prepared a
20
complete written appraisal of the Property taking into consideration the factors set forth above.
6.9 Borrower’s Waivers. BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE UNDER APPLICABLE LAWS TO NOTICE, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE HEREIN SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED OR OTHERWISE SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED IN ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR TO A JUDICIAL HEARING PRIOR TO THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY PROVIDED BY THIS SECURITY INSTRUMENT TO LENDER, AND WAIVES ITS RIGHTS, IF ANY, TO SET ASIDE OR INVALIDATE ANY SALE DULY CONSUMMATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS HEREOF ON THE GROUND (IF SUCH BE THE CASE) THAT THE SALE WAS CONSUMMATED WITHOUT A PRIOR JUDICIAL HEARING. BORROWER’S WAIVERS UNDER THIS SECTION 6.9 HAVE BEEN MADE VOLUNTARILY, INTELLIGENTLY, AND KNOWINGLY AND AFTER BORROWER HAS BEEN APPRISED AND COUNSELED BY ITS ATTORNEY AS TO THE NATURE THEREOF AND ITS POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVE RIGHTS.
ARTICLE VII
REPORTING AND WITHHOLDING REQUIREMENTS
7.1 Withholding. In the event of a foreclosure or delivery of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, Borrower agrees that Lender shall have the right to withhold any and all amounts necessary to comply with the requirements of Section l445 of the Code, any successor statutes thereto and applicable U.S. Department of Treasury regulations issued pursuant thereto in temporary or final form.
7.2 Form 1099-S. Upon Lender’s written request, Borrower shall have supplied or caused to be supplied to Lender either (a) a copy of a completed Form 1099-S, Statement for Recipients of Proceeds from Real Estate Transactions prepared by Borrower’s attorney together with a certification from Borrower’s attorney to the effect that such form has, to the best of such Person’s knowledge, been accurately prepared and that such Person will timely file such form, or (b) a certification from Borrower that the mortgage loan is a refinancing of the Property or is otherwise not required to be reported to the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to Section 6045(e) of the Code.
7.3 Transfer Tax.
(a) Covenants. Borrower covenants and agrees that, in the event of a sale or other Transfer, it will duly complete, execute and deliver to Lender contemporaneously with their submission to the applicable taxing authority or recording officer, all forms and supporting documentation required by such taxing authority or recording officer to estimate and fix the real estate transfer tax (“Transfer Tax”), if any, payable by reason of such sale or other Transfer or recording of the deed evidencing such sale or other Transfer. This Section 7.3 shall apply only if this Security Instrument is outstanding after any such sale or transfer.
21
(b) Payment. Borrower agrees to pay all Transfer Taxes that may hereafter become due and payable with respect to any Transfer, and in default thereof Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay the same and the amount of such payment shall be added to the Obligations and be secured by this Security Instrument. The provisions of this Article shall survive any Transfer, foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure and the delivery of the deed in connection with any Transfer, foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure. Nothing in this Article shall be deemed to limit Lender’s rights hereunder in the event any Transfer shall be made in violation of the provisions of this Security Instrument.
(c) Foreclosure. The provisions of this Section 7.3 shall be applicable also in the event of a foreclosure or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure to the extent that Lender shall, in its sole judgment and discretion, determine that any tax (including a Transfer Tax) shall be payable by it.
ARTICLE VIII
MISCELLANEOUS TERMS AND CONDITIONS
8.1 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of each and every covenant of Borrower hereunder. No excuse, delay, act of God, or other reason, whether or not within the control of Borrower, shall operate to defer, reduce or waive Borrower’s performance of any such payment covenants or obligations.
8.2 Release of This Security Instrument. If all of the Obligations secured hereby shall have been paid and/or performed, then and in that event only, all rights under this Security Instrument shall terminate, except for any indemnities granted by Borrower hereunder to Lender and any other provisions hereof which by their terms survive, and the Property shall become wholly clear of the liens, security interests, conveyances and assignments evidenced hereby, which shall be released by Lender, to the extent required by law to effect a full and proper termination, release and reconveyance in due form at Borrower’s cost. No release of this Security Instrument or the lien hereof shall be valid unless executed by Lender, which Lender agrees to provide on a timely basis.
8.3 Certain Rights of Lender. Without affecting Borrower’s liability for the payment of any of the indebtedness secured hereby, Lender may from time to time and without notice to Borrower: (a) release any Person liable for the payment of the indebtedness secured hereby; (b) extend or modify the terms of payment of the indebtedness secured hereby; (c) accept additional real or personal property of any kind as security or alter, substitute or release any property securing the indebtedness secured hereby; (d) release any part of the Property; (e) consent in writing to the making of any subdivision map or plat thereof; (f) join in granting any easement therein; or (g) join in any extension agreement of this Security Instrument or any agreement subordinating any lien or security interest granted hereby.
8.4 Intentionally Omitted.
8.5 Notices. All notices or other written communications hereunder shall be delivered in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement.
22
8.6 Successors and Assigns. The provisions hereof shall be binding upon Borrower and the heirs, devisees, representatives, permitted successors and permitted assigns of Borrower, including successors in interest of Borrower in and to all or any part of the Property, and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and its heirs, successors and assigns. All references in this Security Instrument to Borrower or Lender shall be construed as including all of such other Persons with respect to the Person referred to. Where two or more Persons have executed this Security Instrument, the obligations of such Persons shall be joint and several except to the extent the context clearly indicates otherwise.
8.7 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Security Instrument or the application thereof to Borrower shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute, regulation, or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform to such statute, regulation or rule of law, and the remainder of this Security Instrument and the application of any such invalid or unenforceable provision to parties, jurisdictions, or circumstances other than to whom or to which it shall be held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby nor shall same affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Security Instrument.
8.8 Waiver; Discontinuance of Proceedings. Lender may waive any single default by Borrower hereunder without waiving any other prior or subsequent default. Lender may remedy any default by Borrower hereunder without waiving the default remedied. Neither the failure by Lender to exercise, nor the delay by Lender in exercising, any right, power or remedy upon any default by Borrower hereunder shall be construed as a waiver of such default or as a waiver of the right to exercise any such right, power or remedy at a later date. No single or partial exercise by Lender of any right, power or remedy hereunder shall exhaust the same or shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof, and every such right, power or remedy hereunder may be exercised at any time and from time to time. No modification or waiver of any provision hereof nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given. No notice to nor demand on Borrower in any case shall of itself entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Acceptance by Lender of any payment in an amount less than the amount then due on any of the secured indebtedness shall be deemed an acceptance on account only and shall not in any way affect the existence of a default hereunder. In case Lender shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse permitted hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon the same for any reason, Lender shall have the unqualified right to do so and, in such an event, Borrower and Lender shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the indebtedness secured hereby, the Loan Documents, the Property and otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of Lender shall continue as if the same had never been invoked.

9.2 Defenses. Borrower hereby waives any defense it may now or hereafter have that relates to:
(a) any disability or other defense of any other Borrower Party or other Person;
(b) the unenforceability or invalidity of any collateral assignment (other than this Security Instrument) or guaranty with respect to any Obligation, or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or lack of priority of any Lien (other than the lien hereof) which secures any Obligation;
(c) any failure of Lender to marshal assets in favor of Borrower or any other Person;
(d) any modification of any Obligation, including any renewal, extension, acceleration or increase in any applicable interest rate;

9.3 Lawfulness and Reasonableness. Borrower warrants that all of the waivers in this Security Instrument are made with full knowledge of their significance, and of the fact that events giving rise to any defense or other benefit waived by Borrower may destroy or impair rights which Borrower would otherwise have against Lender, any other Borrower Party and other Persons, or against Collateral.

9.4 Enforceability.
(a) Borrower hereby acknowledges that:
29
(1) the obligations undertaken by Borrower in this Security Instrument are complex in nature;
(2) numerous possible defenses to the enforceability of these obligations may presently exist and/or may arise hereafter;

(b) Borrower does hereby represent and confirm to Lender that Borrower is fully informed regarding, and that Borrower does thoroughly understand:
(1) the nature of all of the possible defenses to the enforceability of these obligations may presently exist and/or may arise hereafter;
(2) the circumstances under which such defenses may arise;
(3) the benefits which such defenses might confer upon Borrower; and
(4) the legal consequences to Borrower of waiving such defenses.
(c) Borrower acknowledges that Borrower makes this Security Instrument with the intent that this Security Instrument and all of the informed waivers herein shall each and all be fully enforceable by Lender, and that Lender is induced to enter into this transaction in material reliance upon the presumed full enforceability thereof.
9.5 Reinstatement of Lien.

30
(a) This Security Instrument is upon the STATUTORY CONDITION and for any breach of which upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the STATUTORY POWER OF SALE, and on the further condition that upon any Event of Default the Lender shall have as to the Personal Property all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Massachusetts Uniform Commercial Code, including the option to proceed as to the Personal Property under the law relating to foreclosure of real estate mortgages, and such further remedies as from time to time may hereafter be provided in Massachusetts for a secured party.

In the event of any separate sale of Personal Property, the Lender will give the Borrower reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition thereof is to be made, and such requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is given within the time period set forth in this Security Instrument.
