11. Mortgagee’s Right to Perform
 
.  If any Borrower fails to perform any of the covenants or agreements of such Borrower, within the applicable grace period, if any, provided for in the Credit Agreement, or if Mortgagor fails to perform any of the covenants or agreements of Mortgagor, within the applicable grace period, if any, provided for in the Guaranty Documents, Mortgagee, without waiving or releasing Mortgagor from any obligation or default under this Mortgage, may, at any time upon five (5) Business Days’ notice to Mortgagor (but shall be under no obligation to) pay or perform the same, and the amount or cost thereof, with interest at the Default Rate, shall immediately be due from Mortgagor to Mortgagee and the same shall be secured by this Mortgage and shall be a lien on the Mortgaged Property prior to any right, title to, interest in, or claim upon the Mortgaged Property attaching subsequent to the lien of this Mortgage.  No payment or advance of money by Mortgagee under this Section shall be deemed or construed to cure Borrower’s or Mortgagor’s Event of Default after notice of such Event of Default has been given by Mortgagee or waive any right or remedy of Mortgagee.
 
12. Remedies
 
.
 
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Mortgagee may immediately take such action, without notice or demand, as it deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Mortgagor and in and to the Mortgaged Property, including, but not limited to, the following actions, each of which may be pursued concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such manner as Mortgagee may determine, in its sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Mortgagee:
 
(i) Mortgagee may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (A) institute and maintain an action of foreclosure against all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, (B) institute and maintain an action on any or all of the Guaranty Documents, (C) sell all or part of the Mortgaged Property (Mortgagor expressly granting to Mortgagee the power of sale), or (D) take such other action at law or in equity for the enforcement of this Mortgage or the Guaranty Documents as the law may allow.  Mortgagee may proceed in any such action to final judgment and execution thereon for all sums due hereunder, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate and all costs of suit, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements. Interest at the Default Rate shall be due on any judgment obtained by Mortgagee from the date of judgment until actual payment is made of the full amount of the judgment; and
 
(ii) Mortgagee may personally, or by its agents, attorneys and employees and without regard to the adequacy or inadequacy of the Mortgaged Property or any other collateral as security for the Obligations enter into and upon the Mortgaged Property and each and every part thereof and exclude Mortgagor and its agents and employees therefrom without liability for trespass, damage or otherwise (Mortgagor hereby agreeing to surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property to Mortgagee upon demand at any such time) and use, operate, manage, maintain and control the Mortgaged Property and every part thereof. Following such entry and taking of possession, Mortgagee shall be entitled, without limitation, (x) to lease all or any part or parts of the Mortgaged Property for such periods of time and upon such conditions as Mortgagee may, in its discretion, deem proper, (y) to enforce, cancel or modify any lease and (z) generally to execute, do and perform any other act, deed, matter or thing concerning the Mortgaged Property as Mortgagee shall deem appropriate as fully as Mortgagor might do.
 
(b) In case of a foreclosure sale, the Real Estate may be sold, at Mortgagee’s election, in one parcel or in more than one parcel and Mortgagee is specifically empowered (without being required to do so, and in its sole and absolute discretion) to cause successive sales of portions of the Mortgaged Property to be held.
 
(c) In the event of any breach of the terms contained in this Mortgage that constitutes a continuing Event of Default for which Mortgagee has given notice thereof, Mortgagee shall be entitled to enjoin such breach and obtain specific performance of any covenant, agreement, term or condition and Mortgagee shall have the right to invoke any equitable right or remedy as though other remedies were not provided for in this Mortgage.
 
(d) It is agreed that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and notice of such Event of Default has been given by the Mortgagee, any and all proceeds of the Mortgaged Property received by Mortgagee shall be held by Mortgagee for the benefit of the Lenders as collateral security for the Obligations (whether matured or unmatured), and shall be applied in payment of the Obligations in accordance with the Credit Agreement.
 
13. Right of Mortgagee to Credit Sale
 
.  Upon the occurrence of any sale made under this Mortgage, whether made under the power of sale or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, Mortgagee may bid for and acquire the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof. In lieu of paying cash therefor, Mortgagee may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting upon the Obligations or other sums secured by this Mortgage, the net sales price after deducting therefrom the expenses of sale and the cost of the action and any other sums which Mortgagee is authorized to deduct under this Mortgage.  In such event, this Mortgage, the Guaranty Documents and documents evidencing expenditures secured hereby may be presented to the person or persons conducting the sale in order that the amount so used or applied may be credited upon the Obligations as having been paid.
 
14. Appointment of Receiver
 
.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and notice of such Event of Default has been given by Mortgagee, Mortgagee as a matter of right and without notice to Mortgagor, unless otherwise required by applicable law, and without regard to the adequacy or inadequacy of the Mortgaged Property or any other collateral or the interest of Mortgagor therein as security for the Obligations, shall have the right to apply to any court having jurisdiction to appoint a receiver or receivers or other manager of the Mortgaged Property, without requiring the posting of a surety bond, and without reference to the adequacy or inadequacy of the value of the Mortgaged Property or the solvency or insolvency of Mortgagor or any other party obligated for payment of all or any part of the Obligations, and whether or not waste has occurred with respect to the Mortgaged Property, and Mortgagor hereby irrevocably consents to such appointment and waives notice of any application therefor (except as may be required by law).  Any such receiver or receivers or manager shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in like or similar cases and all the powers and duties of Mortgagee in case of entry as provided in this Mortgage, including, without limitation and to the extent permitted by law, the right to enter into leases of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, and shall continue as such and exercise all such powers until the date of confirmation of sale of the Mortgaged Property unless such receivership is sooner terminated.
 
15. Extension, Release, etc.
 
  Without affecting the Lien or charge of this Mortgage upon any portion of the Mortgaged Property not then or theretofore released as security for the full amount of the Obligations, Mortgagee may, from time to time and without notice, agree to (i) release any person liable for the indebtedness borrowed or guaranteed under the Documents and/or the Guaranty Documents, (ii) extend the maturity or alter any of the terms of the indebtedness borrowed or guaranteed under the Documents and/or the Guaranty Documents or any other guaranty thereof, (iii) grant other indulgences, (iv) release or reconvey, or cause to be released or reconveyed at any time at Mortgagee’s option any parcel, portion or all of the Mortgaged Property, (v) take or release any other or additional security for any obligation herein mentioned, or (vi) make compositions or other arrangements with debtors in relation thereto.
 
(b) No recovery of any judgment by Mortgagee and no levy of an execution under any judgment upon the Mortgaged Property or upon any other property of Mortgagor shall affect the Lien of this Mortgage or any liens, rights, powers or remedies of Mortgagee hereunder, and such liens, rights, powers and remedies shall continue unimpaired.
 
(c) If Mortgagee shall have the right to foreclose this Mortgage or to direct a power of sale, Mortgagor authorizes Mortgagee at its option to foreclose the lien of this Mortgage (or direct the sale of the Mortgaged Property, as the case may be) subject to the rights of any tenants of the Mortgaged Property.  The failure to make any such tenants parties defendant to any such foreclosure proceeding and to foreclose their rights, or to provide notice to such tenants as required in any statutory procedure governing a sale of the Mortgaged Property, or to terminate such tenant’s rights in such sale will not be asserted by Mortgagor as a defense to any proceeding instituted by Mortgagee to collect the Obligations or to foreclose the Lien of this Mortgage.
 
(d) Unless expressly provided otherwise, in the event that ownership of this Mortgage and title to the Mortgaged Property or any estate therein shall become vested in the same person or entity, this Mortgage shall not merge in such title but shall continue as a valid Lien on the Mortgaged Property for the amount secured hereby.
 
16. Security Agreement under Uniform Commercial Code
 
.  (a) It is the intention of the parties hereto that this Mortgage shall constitute a Security Agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code (the “Code”) of the State in which the Mortgaged Property is located solely with respect to Mortgaged Property which is personal property.  If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing under this Mortgage and notice of such Event of Default has been given by Mortgagee, then in addition to having any other right or remedy available at law or in equity, Mortgagee shall have the option of either (i) proceeding under the Code and exercising such rights and remedies as may be provided to a secured party by the Code with respect to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property which is personal property (including, without limitation, taking possession of and selling such property) or (ii) treating such property as real property and proceeding with respect to both the real and personal property constituting the Mortgaged Property in accordance with Mortgagee’s rights, powers and remedies with respect to the real property (in which event the default provisions of the Code shall not apply).  If Mortgagee shall elect to proceed under the Code, then ten days’ notice of sale of the personal property shall be deemed reasonable notice and the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the like incurred by Mortgagee shall include, but not be limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses.

17. Assignment of Leases and Rents
 
.
 
(a) Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagee all of Mortgagee’s right, title and interest in and to all current and future Leases and Rents as further security for the payment of and performance of the Obligations, and Mortgagor grants to Mortgagee the right to enter the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of collecting the same and to let the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, and to apply the Rents on account of the Obligations. The foregoing assignment and grant is present and absolute and shall continue in effect until the Obligations are fully paid and performed, but Mortgagee hereby waives the right to enter the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of collecting the Rents and Mortgagor shall be entitled to collect, receive, use and retain the Rents until the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default under this Mortgage for which notice has been given by the Mortgagee; such right of Mortgagor to collect, receive, use and retain the Rents may be revoked by Mortgagee upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under this Mortgage for which notice has been given by Mortgagee by giving not less than five (5) days’ written notice of such revocation to Mortgagor; in the event such notice is given, Mortgagor shall pay over to Mortgagee, or to any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, any lease security deposits, and shall pay monthly in advance to Mortgagee, or to any such receiver, the fair and reasonable rental value as determined by Mortgagee for the use and occupancy of such part of the Mortgaged Property as may be in the possession of Mortgagor or any affiliate of Mortgagor, and upon default in any such payment Mortgagor and any such affiliate will vacate and surrender the possession of the Mortgaged Property to Mortgagee or to such receiver, and in default thereof may be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise.  Mortgagor shall not accept prepayments of installments of Rent to become due for a period of more than one month in advance (except for security deposits and estimated payments of percentage rent, if any).  Mortgagor represents and warrants to Mortgagee that:
 
(i) Mortgagor has not affirmatively done any act which would prevent Mortgagee from, or limit Mortgagee in, acting under any of the provisions of the foregoing assignment.
 
(ii) Except for any matter disclosed in the Guaranty Documents, no action has been brought or, so far as is known to Mortgagor, is threatened, which would interfere in any way with the right of Mortgagor to execute the foregoing assignment and perform all of Mortgagor’s obligations contained in this Section and in the Leases.
 
18. Additional Rights
 
.  The holder of any subordinate lien on the Mortgaged Property shall have no right to terminate any Lease whether or not such Lease is subordinate to this Mortgage nor shall Mortgagor consent to any holder of any subordinate lien or subordinate Mortgage joining any tenant under any Lease in any action to foreclose the lien or modify, interfere with, disturb or terminate the rights of any tenant under any Lease.  By recordation of this Mortgage all subordinate lienholders and the mortgagees and beneficiaries under subordinate mortgages are subject to and notified of this provision, and any action taken by any such lienholder or beneficiary contrary to this provision shall be null and void.  Any such application shall not be construed to cure or waive any Event of Default for which notice has been given by Mortgagee or invalidate any act taken by Mortgagee on account of such Event of Default for which notice has been given by mortgagee.
 
19. Notices
 
.  All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be given in accordance with the provisions of Section 15 of the Guaranty Security Agreement to Mortgagor and to Mortgagee as specified therein.
 
20. No Oral Modification
 
.  This Mortgage may not be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with the provisions of Section 18 of the Guaranty Security Agreement.  Any agreement made by Mortgagor and Mortgagee after the date of this Mortgage relating to this Mortgage shall be superior to the rights of the holder of any intervening or subordinate lien or encumbrance.
 
21. Partial Invalidity
 
.  In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Mortgage shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, but each shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been included. Notwithstanding to the contrary anything contained in this Mortgage or in any provisions of any Document or any the Guaranty Document, the obligations of Mortgagor and of any other obligor under this Mortgage and the Guaranty Documents shall be subject to the limitation that Mortgagee shall not charge, take or receive, nor shall Mortgagor or any other obligor be obligated to pay to Mortgagee, any amounts constituting interest in excess of the maximum rate permitted by law to be charged by Mortgagee.
 
22. Mortgagor’s Waiver of Rights
 
.  (a) Mortgagor hereby voluntarily and knowingly releases and waives any and all rights to retain possession of the Mortgaged Property after the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default hereunder for which notice has been give by Mortgagee and any and all rights of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure (whether full or partial), pursuant to rights, if any, therein granted, as allowed under any applicable law, on its own behalf, on behalf of all persons claiming or having an interest (direct or indirectly) by, through or under each constituent of Mortgagor and on behalf of each and every person acquiring any interest in the Mortgaged Property subsequent to the date hereof, it being the intent hereof that any and all such rights or redemption of each constituent of Mortgagor and all such other persons are and shall be deemed to be hereby waived to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law or replacement statute.  Each constituent of Mortgagor shall not invoke or utilize any such law or laws or otherwise hinder, delay, or impede the execution of any right, power, or remedy herein or otherwise granted or delegated to Mortgagee, but shall, permit the execution of every such right, power, and remedy as though no such law or laws had been made or enacted.
 
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagor waives the benefit of all laws now existing or that may subsequently be enacted providing for (i) any appraisement before sale of any portion of the Mortgaged Property, (ii) any extension of the time for the enforcement of the collection of the Obligations or the creation or extension of a period of redemption from any sale made in collecting such debt and (iii) exemption of the Mortgaged Property from attachment, levy or sale under execution or exemption from civil process.  To the full extent Mortgagor may do so, Mortgagor agrees that Mortgagor will not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, exemption, extension or redemption, or requiring foreclosure of this Mortgage before exercising any other remedy granted hereunder and Mortgagor, for Mortgagor and its successors and assigns, and for any and all persons ever claiming any interest in the Mortgaged Property, to the extent permitted by law, hereby waives and releases all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of election to mature (except as expressly provided in the Guaranty Documents) or declare due the whole of the secured indebtedness and marshalling in the event of exercise by Mortgagee of the foreclosure rights, power of sale, or other rights hereby created.
 
23. Remedies Not Exclusive
 
.  Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce payment and performance of the Obligations and to exercise all rights and powers under this Mortgage or under the Guaranty Documents or other agreement or any laws now or hereafter in force, notwithstanding some or all of the Obligations may now or hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by Mortgage, mortgage, security agreement, pledge, lien, assignment or otherwise. Neither the acceptance of this Mortgage nor its enforcement, shall prejudice or in any manner affect Mortgagee’s rights to realize upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by Mortgagee, it being agreed that Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce this Mortgage and any other security now or hereafter held by Mortgagee in such order and manner as Mortgagee may determine in its absolute discretion.  No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Mortgagee is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.  Every power or remedy given by any of the Guaranty Documents to Mortgagee or to which Mortgagee may otherwise be entitled, may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Mortgagee, as the case may be.  In no event shall Mortgagee, in the exercise of the remedies provided in this Mortgage (including, without limitation, in connection with the assignment of Leases and Rents to Mortgagee, or the appointment of a receiver and the entry of such receiver on to all or any part of the Mortgaged Property), be deemed a “Mortgagee in possession,” and Mortgagee shall not in any way be made liable for any act, either of commission or omission, in connection with the exercise of such remedies.
 
24. Subrogation
 
.  If the Loan is used to pay, satisfy, discharge, extend or renew any indebtedness secured by a pre-existing mortgage, or other lien encumbering the Mortgaged Property (“Prior Lien”), then to the extent of funds so used, Mortgagee shall automatically, and without further action on its part, be subrogated to all rights, including lien priority, held by the holder of the indebtedness secured by the Prior Lien, whether or not the Prior Lien is released, and such former rights are not waived but rather are continued in full force and effect in favor of Mortgagee and are merged with the lien and security interest created herein as cumulative security for payment of the Debt and performance of the Obligations.
 
25. Successors and Assigns
 
.  All covenants of Mortgagor contained in this Mortgage are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Mortgagee, and its successors and assigns, and no other person or entity shall have standing to require compliance with such covenants or be deemed, under any circumstances, to be a beneficiary of such covenants, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Mortgagee at any time if in the sole discretion of Mortgagee such a waiver is deemed advisable.  All such covenants of Mortgagor shall run with the land and bind Mortgagor, the successors and assigns of Mortgagor and all subsequent owners, encumbrancers and tenants of the Mortgaged Property, and shall inure to the benefit of Mortgagee and its successors and assigns.  The word “Mortgagor” shall be construed as if it read “Mortgagors” whenever the sense of this Mortgage so requires and if there shall be more than one Mortgagor, the obligations of the Mortgagors shall be joint and several.
 
26. No Waivers, etc.
 
  Any failure by Mortgagee to insist upon the strict performance by Mortgagor of any of the terms and provisions of this Mortgage shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the terms and provisions hereof, and Mortgagee, notwithstanding any such failure, shall have the right thereafter to insist upon the strict performance by Mortgagor of any and all of the terms and provisions of this Mortgage to be performed by Mortgagor.  Mortgagee may release, regardless of consideration and without the necessity for any notice to or consent by the holder of any subordinate lien on the Mortgaged Property, any part of the security held for the obligations secured by this Mortgage without, as to the remainder of the security, in any way impairing or affecting the lien of this Mortgage or the priority of such lien over any subordinate lien or Mortgage.
 
27. Governing Law, etc.
 
  This Mortgage shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, except that Mortgagor expressly acknowledges that by their respective terms the Guaranty shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, and for purposes of consistency, Mortgagor agrees that in any in personam proceeding related to this Mortgage the rights of the parties to this Mortgage shall also be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York governing contracts made and to be performed in that State.
 
28. Waiver of Trial by Jury
 
.  Mortgagor and Mortgagee each hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive the right to insist upon trial by jury in any action, claim, suit or proceeding relating to this Mortgage. Mortgagor hereby waives all rights to interpose any counterclaim in any suit brought by Mortgagee for foreclosure hereunder and all rights to have any such suit consolidated with any separate suit, action or proceeding, except to the extent that any counterclaim would be lost unless made in each suit.  Such waiver shall not be construed so as to prevent the Mortgagor from interposing a counterclaim against Mortgagee concerning the Obligations.

.  Unless the context clearly indicates a contrary intent or unless otherwise specifically provided herein, words used in this Mortgage shall be used interchangeably in singular or plural form and the word “Mortgagor” shall mean “each Mortgagor or any subsequent owner or owners of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or interest therein,” the word “Mortgagee” shall mean “Mortgagee or any successor agent for the Lenders,” the word “person” shall include any individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, unincorporated association, government, governmental authority, or other entity, and the words “Mortgaged Property” shall include any portion of the Mortgaged Property or interest therein.

(ii) Statutory Power of Sale.  This Mortgage is upon the STATUTORY CONDITION and for any breach of which upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Mortgagee shall have the STATUTORY POWER OF SALE, and on the further condition that upon any default Mortgagee 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, Mortgagee will give Mortgagor 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 at least ten (10) days prior to such action, as described in Section 16(a) hereof.
