Particular Covenants of the Mortgagor and Agency

 

The Agency, having first been indemnified against any liability or expense to its satisfaction, and the Mortgagor, covenant and agree (provided that each of the Agency and the Mortgagor covenants and agrees only with respect to the covenants and agreement of each and not of each other) as follows:

 

SECTION 1.01.          The Mortgagor represents and warrants that it has a good and marketable title to an indefeasible fee estate in the Premises subject to no lien, charge or encumbrance, except the Permitted Encumbrances; that it will own the Chattels free and clear of liens and claims; that this Mortgage is and will remain a valid and enforceable first lien on the Mortgaged Property subject only to the exceptions referred to above; that the execution and delivery of this Mortgage has been duly authorized by the Agency and the Mortgagor, the execution and delivery of the Note has been duly authorized by the Mortgagor and that there is no provision in any document that evidences or establishes the existence of the Agency or Mortgagor requiring further consent for such action by any other entity or person; that it is duly organized, validly existing and is in good standing under the laws of the state of its formation or incorporation, as the case may be; that the Mortgagor has (i) all necessary licenses, authorizations, registrations, permits and/or approvals and (ii) full power and authority to own its properties and carry on its business as presently conducted and the execution and delivery by it and performance of its respective obligations under, this Mortgage and the Note will not result in the Mortgagor being in default under any provisions of any document which evidences or establishes the existence of the Mortgagor or of any mortgage, credit or other agreement to which the Mortgagor is a party or which affects the Mortgagor or the Premises, or any part thereof; that it will preserve such title, and will forever warrant and defend the same to the Mortgagee, and will forever warrant and defend the validity and priority of the lien hereof against the claims of all persons and parties whomsoever except for the Permitted Encumbrances; that to its knowledge, there are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any governmental authority or other agency now pending or, to Mortgagor’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting the Mortgagor, Guarantor or the Mortgaged Property, which actions, suits or proceedings, if determined against the Mortgagor or Guarantor, could materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of the Mortgagor or Guarantor or the condition or ownership of the Mortgaged Property.

 

SECTION 1.02.          The Agency and Mortgagor, as the case may be, will, at the sole cost of the Mortgagor, and without expense to the Mortgagee, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and every such further acts, deeds, conveyances, mortgages, assignments, notices of assignment, transfers and assurances as the Mortgagee shall from time to time reasonably require, for the better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring and confirming unto the Mortgagee the property and rights hereby conveyed or assigned or intended now or hereafter so to be, or which the Agency may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to the Mortgagee, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Mortgage, or for filing, registering or recording this Mortgage (provided that, with respect to the Agency (i) such deeds, conveyance, mortgage, assignments, notices of assignment, transfers and assurances are so authorized by the Act (as such term is defined in the IDA Lease) and by the Agency’s board of directors, if so required, and (ii) such deeds, conveyances, mortgages, assignments, notices of assignment, transfers and assurances are in a form reasonably acceptable to the Agency) and, on demand, will execute and deliver and hereby authorizes the Mortgagee

5

to execute and file in the name of the Agency and/or Mortgagor, as the case may be, to the extent it may lawfully do so, one or more financing statements, chattel mortgages or comparable security instruments to evidence more effectively the lien hereof upon the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof.

 

SECTION 1.03.          (a)          The Mortgagor, forthwith upon the execution and delivery of this Mortgage, and thereafter from time to time, upon reasonable prior notice, will cause this Mortgage and any security instrument creating a lien or evidencing the lien hereof upon the Chattels and/or the Intangibles and each instrument of further assurance to be filed, registered and/or recorded in such manner and in such places as may be required by any present or future law in order to publish notice of and fully to protect the lien hereof upon, and the interest of the Mortgagee in, the Mortgaged Property.

 

(b)          The Mortgagor will pay all filing, registration or recording fees, and all expenses incident to or arising in connection with this Mortgage, any mortgage supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Chattels or the Intangibles, and any instrument of further assurance, and all federal, state, county and municipal stamp taxes and other taxes, duties, impositions, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection with the execution and delivery of the Note, this Mortgage or any mortgage supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Chattels and/or the Intangibles or any instrument of further assurance. In the event any additional mortgage recording tax or recording fees become due subsequent to the recording of this Mortgage, Mortgagor agrees to pay any such additional mortgage tax and recording fees within five (5) days of Mortgagee’s demand, and upon the failure to make such payment, the Mortgagee has the absolute right to then make such payment for the mortgage tax or recording fees, and such payment shall be deemed a protective advance hereunder and subject to the lien of this Mortgage.

 

SECTION 1.04.          The Mortgagor will punctually pay the principal and interest and all other sums to become due in respect of the Note at the time and place and in the manner specified in the Note according to the true intent and meaning thereof, all in any coin or currency of the United States of America which at the time of such payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

 

SECTION 1.05.          (a)          The Mortgagor will, so long as it is owner of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, do all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, franchises, rights and privileges as a business or stock corporation under the laws of New York and will comply with all regulations, rules, ordinances, statutes, orders and decrees of any governmental authority or court applicable to the Mortgagor or to the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof.

 

(b)          Nothing in this Section 1.05 shall require the payment or discharge of any obligation imposed upon the Mortgagor by this Section so long as the Mortgagor, as the case may be, shall in good faith and at its own expense contest the same or the validity thereof by appropriate legal proceedings which shall operate to prevent the collection thereof or other realization thereon and the sale or forfeiture of the Premises or any part thereof to satisfy the same; provided that during such contest the Mortgagor shall, at the option of the Mortgagee, provide security reasonably satisfactory to the Mortgagee, assuring the discharge of the Mortgagor’s obligation hereunder and of any additional charge, penalty or expense arising from or incurred as a result of such contest; and provided further that if, at any time, payment of any obligation imposed upon the Mortgagor by subsection (a) of this Section shall become necessary to prevent the delivery of a tax deed, or its equivalent, conveying the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, because of nonpayment, then the Mortgagor shall pay the same in sufficient time to prevent the delivery of such tax deed or its equivalent.

6

SECTION 1.06.          All right, title and interest of the Agency and the Mortgagor in and to all extensions, improvements, betterments, renewals, substitutes and replacements of, and all additions and appurtenances to, the Mortgaged Property hereafter acquired by, or released to, the Agency or the Mortgagor, or constructed, assembled or placed by the Mortgagor or Agency on the Premises or any part thereof, and all conversions of the security constituted thereby, immediately upon such acquisition, release, construction, assembling, placement or conversion, as the case may be, and in each such case, without any further mortgage, conveyance, assignment or other act by the Agency or the Mortgagor, shall become subject to the lien of this Mortgage as fully and completely, and with the same effect, as though now owned by the Agency or the Mortgagor and specifically described in the granting clauses hereof, but at any and all times the Mortgagor and/or the Agency will, as applicable, execute and deliver to the Mortgagee any and all such further assurances, mortgages, conveyances or assignments thereof as the Mortgagee may reasonably require for the purpose of expressly and specifically subjecting the same to the lien of this Mortgage, provided that, with respect to the Agency (i) such deeds, conveyance, mortgage, assignments, notices of assignment, transfers and assurances are so authorized by the Act and by the Agency’s board of directors, if so required, and (ii) such deeds, conveyances, mortgages, assignments, notices of assignment, transfers and insurances are in a form reasonably acceptable to the Agency.

 

SECTION 1.07.          (a)          The Mortgagor, from time to time when the same shall become due and payable, will pay and discharge all taxes of every kind and nature, all general and special assessments, levies, permits, inspection and license fees, all water and sewer rents and charges, and all other public charges whether of a like or different nature, including any payment-in-lieu of tax payments, imposed upon or assessed against the Mortgaged Property (other than any rents, issues, income and profits derived pursuant to the IDA Lease, or any part thereof, or upon the revenues, rents, issues, income and profits of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, or arising in respect of the occupancy, use or possession thereof collectively the “Taxes”). The Mortgagor will, upon the request of the Mortgagee, deliver to the Mortgagee receipts evidencing the payment of all such Taxes.

 

(b)          The Mortgagor will, upon an Event of Default, be required by Mortgagee to pay to Mortgagee on the first day of each calendar month one-twelfth of an amount (the “Escrow Fund”) which would be sufficient to pay the Taxes payable, or estimated by Mortgagee to be payable, during the ensuing twelve (12) months. Mortgagee will apply the Escrow Fund to the payment of Taxes which are required to be paid by Mortgagor pursuant to the provisions of this Mortgage. If the amount of the Escrow Fund shall exceed the amount of the Taxes payable by the Mortgagor pursuant to the provisions of this Mortgage as determined by the Mortgagee from time to time, Mortgagee shall promptly return any excess to Mortgagor. If the Escrow Fund is not sufficient to pay the Taxes, as the same become payable, the Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee, within ten (10) days of written demand therefor by the Mortgagee, the amount which Mortgagee shall estimate in good faith as sufficient to make up the deficiency. Until expended or applied as above provided, any amounts in the Escrow Fund may be commingled with the general funds of Mortgagee and shall constitute additional security for the Indebtedness and shall not bear interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as Taxes are being collected and paid pursuant to a payment-in-lieu of tax arrangement with the Agency, Mortgagor shall not be required to pay Taxes to Mortgagee pursuant to this Section 1.07(b).

 

(c)          The Mortgagor will pay, from time to time when the same shall become due, all lawful claims and demands of mechanics, materialmen, laborers and others, which claims and demands, if unpaid, might result in, or permit the creation of, a lien on the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, or on the revenues, rents, issues, income and profits arising therefrom and in general will do or cause to be done everything necessary so that the lien of this Mortgage shall be fully preserved, at the cost of the Mortgagor, without expense to the Mortgagee.

7

(d)          Nothing in this Section shall require the payment or discharge of any obligation imposed upon the Mortgagor by this Section so long as the Mortgagor shall in good faith and at its own expense contest the same or the validity thereof by appropriate legal proceedings which shall operate to prevent the collection thereof or other realization thereon and the sale or forfeiture of the Premises or any part thereof to satisfy the same; provided that during such contest the Mortgagor shall, at the option of the Mortgagee, provide security reasonably satisfactory to the Mortgagee, assuring the discharge of the Mortgagor’s obligation hereunder and of any additional charge, penalty or expense arising from or incurred as a result of such contest; and provided further that if, at any time, payment of any obligation imposed upon the Mortgagor by subsection (a) of this Section shall become necessary to prevent the delivery of a tax deed, or its equivalent, conveying the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, because of non-payment, then the Mortgagor shall pay the same in sufficient time to prevent the delivery of such tax deed or its equivalent.

 

SECTION 1.08.          The Mortgagor will pay any and all taxes, charges, fees and/or levies by reason of the Mortgagee’s ownership of the Note or this Mortgage and/or resulting from the exercise by the Mortgagee of any of its rights and/or remedies provided for under this Mortgage, except for income taxes and any gains tax law which may hereafter be enacted. The obligations assumed by the Mortgagor pursuant to this Section shall survive the exercise by the Mortgagee of any of its rights and/or remedies under this Mortgage.

 

SECTION 1.09.          (a)          The Mortgagor shall keep the Improvements and Chattels insured against damage by fire and other hazards covered by the standard extended coverage insurance policy, and each policy shall be endorsed to name the Mortgagee as an insured thereunder, as its interest may appear, with loss payable to the Mortgagee, without contribution or assessment, pursuant to a standard first mortgage endorsement substantially equivalent to the New York standard mortgagee endorsement. All insurance policies and endorsements required pursuant to this Section shall be fully paid for, nonassessable and contain such provisions and expiration dates and be in such form and amounts and issued by such insurance companies satisfactory to the Mortgagee. Without limiting the foregoing, each policy shall specifically provide that (i) such policy may not be cancelled except upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Mortgagee and that no act or thing done by the Agency or Mortgagor shall invalidate the policy as against the Mortgagee and (ii) any and all insurance proceeds will be paid to the Mortgagee so long as Mortgagee certifies to the insurer that the unpaid Indebtedness exceeds the proceeds of insurance. In addition, the Mortgagee may require the Mortgagor to carry such other insurance on the Improvements and Chattels in such amounts as may from time to time be required by institutional lenders, against insurable casualties (including risks of war and nuclear explosion) which at the time are commonly insured against in the case of Premises similarly situated. The Mortgagor will assign and deliver the policy or policies of all such insurance to the Mortgagee, which policy or policies shall have endorsed thereon an endorsement substantially equivalent to the New York standard mortgagee endorsement in the name of the Mortgagee, so and in such manner and form that the Mortgagee and its successors and assigns shall at all times have and hold said policy or policies as collateral and further security for the payment of the Indebtedness until the full payment of the Indebtedness. In addition, from time to time, upon occurrence of any change in the use, operation or value of the Premises, or in the availability of insurance in the area in which the Premises are located, the Mortgagor shall, within five (5) days after demand by the Mortgagee, take out such additional amounts and/or such other kinds of insurance as the Mortgagee may reasonably require.

 

(b)          The Mortgagor shall not take out separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained under this Section, unless the Mortgagee is included thereon as a named insured with loss payable to the Mortgagee under the standard mortgage endorsement of the character above described. The Mortgagor shall immediately notify the

8

Mortgagee whenever any such separate insurance is taken out and shall promptly deliver to the Mortgagee the policy or policies of such insurance.

 

(c)          If the Premises, or any part thereof, are located in an area which has been identified by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development as a flood hazard area, the Mortgagor will keep, for as long as any Indebtedness remains unpaid, the Improvements covered by flood insurance in an amount at least equal to the full amount of the Note or the maximum limit of coverage available for the Premises under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 and the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as the same may have been or may hereafter be amended or modified (and any successor act thereto), whichever is less.

 

(d)          The Mortgagor shall give the Mortgagee prompt notice of any loss covered by insurance and the Mortgagee shall have the right to join the Mortgagor in adjusting any loss in excess of $100,000. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in Section 254 of the Real Property Law of the State of New York or any other provision of applicable law, the proceeds of insurance policies coming into the possession of the Mortgagee shall not be deemed trust funds and the Mortgagee shall have the option in its sole discretion to apply any insurance proceeds it may receive pursuant hereto, or otherwise, to the payment of the Indebtedness or to allow all or a portion of such proceeds to be used for the restoration of the Mortgaged Property. In the event any such insurance proceeds shall be used to reduce the Indebtedness, the same shall be applied by the Mortgagee, after the deduction therefrom and repayment to the Mortgagee of any and all costs incurred by the Mortgagee in the recovery thereof, in any manner it shall designate including but not limited to, the application of such proceeds to the then unpaid installments of the principal balance due under the Note in the inverse order of their maturity, such that the regular payments, if any, under the Note shall not be reduced or altered in any manner.

 

(e)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event the Mortgagee receives any fire and casualty insurance proceeds, such proceeds shall be made available to the Mortgagor for the restoration of the Mortgaged Property, provided that the Mortgagee determines that the amount of such insurance proceeds shall be sufficient to complete the restoration, and further provided that business interruption insurance or rent insurance is then being paid being in the amount of the abatement in the case of any tenancy which may be entitled to a rent abatement due to the damage or destruction. Any surplus after such restoration may be utilized, in the Mortgagee’s discretion, to prepay any portion of the Loan. If the Mortgagee determines that the amount of such insurance proceeds shall be insufficient for completion of such restoration, within ten (10) days of such determination the Mortgagor shall deposit with the Mortgagee an amount equal to the difference between the Mortgagee’s said estimated cost of restoration and such insurance proceeds/awards. All restoration shall be completed by the earlier to occur of (i) one year from the date of the damage or destruction, and (ii) the Maturity Date (as defined in the Note). In such event, the use by the Mortgagor and the advancing by the Mortgagee of the proceeds shall be governed by the terms and conditions for making advances as hereinafter provided in subsection (g) of this Section.

 

(f)          The Mortgagor shall give the Mortgagee prompt written notice of damage to or destruction of the Improvements and Chattels or any part thereof and, unless the Indebtedness is paid in full to Mortgagee within thirty (30) days of the date of said damage or destruction, and provided that such proceeds are made available to the Mortgagor, the Mortgagor shall promptly commence and diligently continue to perform the repairs, restoration and rebuilding of the portion of the Improvements and Chattels so damaged or destroyed (hereinafter the “Work”) so as to restore the Improvements and Chattels in full compliance with all legal requirements and so that the Mortgaged Property shall be at least equal in value and general utility as they were prior to such damage or

9

destruction, and if such damage or destruction, in the reasonable judgment of the Mortgagee, shall exceed One Hundred Thousand ($100,000) Dollars (hereinafter, collectively “Major Work”), the Mortgagor shall, prior to the commencement of the work, furnish to the Mortgagee for its approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed): (1) complete plans and specifications for the Work, with satisfactory evidence of the approval thereof (i) by all governmental authorities whose approval is required and (ii) by an architect reasonably satisfactory to the Mortgagee (hereinafter, the “Architect”) and which shall be accompanied by the Architect’s signed estimate of the entire cost of completing the Work; and (2) certified or photostatic copies of all permits and approvals required by law in connection with the commencement and conduct of the Work. The Mortgagor shall not commence any of the Work until the Mortgagor shall have complied with applicable requirements referred to in this subsection (f), and after commencing the Work the Mortgagor shall perform the Work diligently and in good faith in accordance with the plans and specifications referred to in this subsection (f), if applicable.

 

(g)          If the insurance proceeds, less the cost, if any, to the Mortgagee of such recovery and of paying out such proceeds (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs allocable to inspecting the Work and the plans and specifications therefor) should be paid towards restoration of the Improvements and Chattels or if such insurance proceeds are applied toward such restoration, then such insurance proceeds shall be applied by the Mortgagee as follows:

 

(i)          To the payment of the cost of the Work and shall be paid out from time to time to the Mortgagor and/or, at the Mortgagee’s option exercised from time to time, directly to the contractor, subcontractors, materialmen, laborers, engineers, architects and other persons rendering services or materials for the Work, as said Work progresses except as otherwise hereinafter provided, but subject to the following conditions, any of which the Mortgagee may freely waive:

 

(A)          If the Work to be done is Major Work, as determined by the Mortgagee in its sole but reasonable discretion, the Architect shall be in charge of the Work;

 

(B)          Each request for payment shall be made on seven (7) days prior notice to the Mortgagee and shall be accompanied by a certificate of the Architect if one is required under subsection (f) above, otherwise by a certificate of an officer of the Mortgagor, stating (i) that all of the Work completed has been done in substantial compliance with the approved plans and specifications, if any be required under said subsection (f), and in accordance with all provisions of law; (ii) the sum requested is justly required to reimburse the Mortgagor for payments by the Mortgagor to, or is justly due to, the contractor, subcontractor, materialmen, laborers, engineers, architects or other persons rendering services or materials for the Work (giving a brief description of such services and materials), and that when added to all sums, if any, previously paid out by the Mortgagee does not exceed the value of the Work done to date of such certificate, and (iii) that the amount of such proceeds and other deposits remaining in the hands of the Mortgagee will be sufficient on completion of the Work to pay for the same in full (giving in such reasonable detail as the Mortgagee may require an estimate of the cost of such completion);

then and in every such case:

 

I.          During the continuance of any such Event of Default, the Mortgagee, by written notice given to the Agency and Mortgagor, may declare the entire principal of the Note then outstanding (if not then due and payable), and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, together with all other Indebtedness to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the principal of the Note, said accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all other Indebtedness shall become and be immediately due and payable by the Mortgagor anything in the Note or in this Mortgage to the contrary notwithstanding;

 

II.          During the continuance of any such Event of Default, the Mortgagee personally, or by its agents or attorneys, may enter into and upon all or any part of the Premises, and each and every part thereof, and may exclude the Agency and the Mortgagor, its agents and servants wholly therefrom; and having and holding the same, may use, operate, manage and control the Premises and conduct the business thereof, either personally or by its superintendents, managers, agents, servants, attorneys or receivers; and upon every such entry, the Mortgagee, at the expense of the Mortgaged Property, from time to time, either by purchase, repairs or construction, may maintain and restore the Mortgaged Property, whereof it shall become possessed as aforesaid, may complete the construction of any of the Improvements and in the course of such completion may make such changes in the contemplated Improvements as it may deem desirable and may insure the same; and likewise, from time to time, at the expense of the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee may make all necessary or proper repairs, renewals and replacements and such useful alterations, additions, betterments and improvements thereto and thereon as to it may seem advisable; and in every such case the Mortgagee shall have the right to manage and operate the Mortgaged Property and to carry on the business thereof and exercise all rights and powers of the Mortgagor with respect thereto either in the name of the Mortgagor or otherwise as it shall deem best; and the Mortgagee shall be entitled to collect and receive all earnings, revenues, rents, issues, profits and income of the Mortgaged Property and every part thereof, all of which shall for all purposes constitute property of the Mortgagee; and in furtherance of such right the Mortgagee may collect the rents payable under all leases (other than the Excluded Leases) of the Premises directly from the lessees thereunder upon notice to each such lessee that an Event of Default exists hereunder accompanied by a demand on

22

such lessee for the payment to the Mortgagee of all rents due and to become due under its lease, and the Mortgagor FOR THE BENEFIT OF MORTGAGEE AND EACH SUCH LESSEE hereby covenants and agrees that the lessee shall be under no duty to question the accuracy of the Mortgagee’s statement of default and shall unequivocally be authorized to pay said rents to the Mortgagee without regard to the truth of the Mortgagee’s statement of default and notwithstanding notices from the Mortgagor disputing the existence of an Event of Default such that the payment of rent by the lessee to the Mortgagee pursuant to such a demand shall constitute performance in full of the lessee’s obligation under the lease for the payment of rents by the lessee to the Mortgagor; and after deducting the expenses of conducting the business thereof and of all maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, alterations, additions, betterments and improvements and amounts necessary to pay for taxes, assessments, insurance and prior or other proper charges upon the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of the Mortgagee and for all attorneys, counsel, agents, clerks, servants and other employees by it properly engaged and employed, the Mortgagee shall apply the moneys arising as aforesaid, first to the payment of the principal of the Note and the interest thereon, when and as the same shall become payable, and second to the payment of any other Indebtedness and sums required to be paid by the Mortgagor under this Mortgage.

 

III.          The Mortgagee, with or without entry, personally or by its agents or attorneys, insofar as applicable, may:

 

(1)          intentionally omitted; or

 

(2)          institute proceedings for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Mortgage; or

 

(3)          take such steps to protect and enforce its rights whether by action, suit or proceeding in equity or at law for the specific performance of any covenant, condition or agreement in the Note, or in this Mortgage, or in aid of the execution of any power herein granted, or for any foreclosure hereunder, or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy or otherwise as the Mortgagee shall elect; or

 

(4)          the Mortgagee also shall have such other rights and/or remedies provided to a mortgagee and/or a secured party by the New York Uniform Commercial Code.

 

SECTION 2.02.          (a)          The Mortgagee may adjourn from time to time any sale by it to be made under or by virtue of this Mortgage by announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale or for such adjourned sale or sales; and, except as otherwise provided by any applicable provision of law, the Mortgagee, without further notice or publication, may make such sale at the time and place to which the same shall be so adjourned.

 

(b)          Upon the completion of any sale or sales made by the Mortgagee under or by virtue of this Article II, the Mortgagee, or an officer of any court empowered to do so, shall execute and deliver to the accepted purchaser or purchasers a good and sufficient instrument, or good and sufficient instruments, conveying, assigning and transferring all estate, right, title and interest in and to the property and rights sold and shall execute and deliver to the appropriate governmental authority any affidavit, instrument, document and/or filing required pursuant to any applicable statute, ordinance, rule and/or regulation. As long as the loan secured by this Mortgage remains unpaid and an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Mortgagee is hereby irrevocably appointed the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the Mortgagor, in its name and stead, to make all necessary conveyances, assignments, transfers and deliveries of the Mortgaged Property and rights so sold and for that purpose the Mortgagee may execute all necessary instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer, including, without

23

limitation, any affidavit, instrument, document or filing required pursuant to any applicable statute, rule or regulation, and may substitute one or more persons with like power, the Mortgagor hereby ratifying and confirming all that its said attorney or such substitute or substitutes shall lawfully do by virtue hereof. Nevertheless, the Mortgagor, if so requested by the Mortgagee, shall ratify and confirm any such sale or sales by executing and delivering to the Mortgagee or to such purchaser or purchasers all such instruments as may be advisable, in the reasonable judgment of the Mortgagee, for that purpose, and as may be designated in such request. Any such sale or sales made under or by virtue of this Article II, whether made under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, shall operate to divest all the estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, of the Mortgagor in and to the properties and rights so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against the Mortgagor and against any and all persons claiming or who may claim the same, or any part thereof, from, through or under the Mortgagor.

 

(c)          In the event of any sale made under or by virtue of this Article II (whether made under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale), the entire principal of, and interest on, the Note, if not previously due and payable, and all other sums required to be paid by the Mortgagor pursuant to this Mortgage, immediately thereupon, shall, anything in the Note or in this Mortgage to the contrary notwithstanding, become due and payable.

 

(d)          The purchase money proceeds or avails of any sale made under or by virtue of this Article II, together with any other sums which then may be held by the Mortgagee under this Mortgage, whether under the provisions of this Article II or otherwise, shall be applied as follows:

 

First:          To the payment of the costs and expenses of such sale, including, but not limited to, the reasonable compensation to the Mortgagee, its agents and counsel, and any sums that may be due under and/or pursuant to any statute, rule, regulation and/or law which imposes any tax, charge, fee and/or levy in connection with and/or arising from the exercise of any right and/or remedy under this Mortgage or the requirement that any sum be paid in order to record and/or file any deed, instrument of transfer or other such document in connection with any such sale and of any judicial proceedings wherein the same may be made, and of all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the Mortgagee under this Mortgage, together with interest at the Involuntary Rate on all advances made by the Mortgagee and all taxes or assessments, except any taxes, assessments or other charges subject to which the Mortgaged Property shall have been sold.

 

Second:        To the payment of the whole amount then due, owing or unpaid upon the Note for principal, interest, other indebtedness, and any other sums required to be paid thereunder with interest on the unpaid principal at the Involuntary Rate from and after the happening of any Event of Default described in clause (a) of Section 2.01 from the due date of any such payment of principal until the same is paid.

 

Third:          To the payment of any other Indebtedness and any other sums required to be paid by the Mortgagor pursuant to any provision of this Mortgage or the Note.

 

Fourth:          To the payment of the surplus, if any, to the Mortgagor.

 

(e)          Upon any sale made under or by virtue of this Article II, whether made under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, the Mortgagee may bid for and acquire the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof and in lieu of paying cash therefor may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting upon the indebtedness of the Mortgagor

24

secured by this Mortgage the net sales price after deducting therefrom the expenses of the sale and the costs of the action and any other sums which the Mortgagee is authorized to deduct under this Mortgage.

 

SECTION 2.03.          (a)          In case an Event of Default described in clause (a) of Section 2.01 shall have happened and be continuing, then, upon written demand of the Mortgagee, the Mortgagor will pay to the Mortgagee the whole amount which then shall have become due and payable on the Note, for principal or interest or both, as the case may be, the Mortgagor will pay to the Mortgagee any and all outstanding amounts under the Note, and after the happening and during the continuance of said Event of Default will also pay to the Mortgagee interest at the Involuntary Rate on the then unpaid principal of the Note, and the sums required to be paid by the Mortgagor pursuant to any provision of this Mortgage, and in addition thereto such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable compensation to the Mortgagee, its agents, and counsel and any expenses incurred by the Mortgagee hereunder. In the event the Mortgagor shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Mortgagee shall be entitled and empowered to institute such action or proceedings at law or in equity as may be advised by its counsel for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Mortgagor and collect, out of the property of the Mortgagor wherever situated, as well as out of the Mortgaged Property, in any manner provided by law, moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.

 

(b)          The Mortgagee shall be entitled to recover judgment as aforesaid either before or after or during the pendency of any proceedings for the enforcement of the provisions of this Mortgage; and the right of the Mortgagee to recover such judgment shall not be affected by any entry or sale hereunder, or by the exercise of any other right, power or remedy for the enforcement of the provisions of this Mortgage, or the foreclosure of the lien hereof; and in the event of a sale of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, and of the application of the proceeds of sale, as in this Mortgage provided, to the payment of the debt hereby secured, the Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce payment of, and to receive all amounts then remaining due and unpaid upon the Note, and to enforce payment of all other charges, payments and costs due under this Mortgage, and shall be entitled to recover judgment for any portion of the debt remaining unpaid, with interest at the Involuntary Rate. In case of the commencement of any case against the Mortgagor under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or any proceedings for its reorganization or involving the liquidation of its assets, then the Mortgagee shall be entitled to prove the whole amount of principal and interest due upon the Note to the full amount thereof, and all other payments, charges and costs due under this Mortgage, without deducting therefrom any proceeds obtained from the sale of the whole or any part of the Mortgaged Property, provided, however, that in no case shall the Mortgagee receive a greater amount than such principal and interest and such other payments, charges and costs from the aggregate amount of the proceeds of the sale of the Mortgaged Property and the distribution from the estate of the Mortgagor.

 

(c)          No recovery of any judgment by the Mortgagee and no levy of an execution under any judgment upon the Mortgaged Property or upon any other property of the Mortgagor shall affect in any manner or to any extent, the lien of this Mortgage upon the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, of any liens, rights, powers or remedies of the Mortgagee hereunder, but such liens, rights, powers and remedies of the Mortgagee shall continue unimpaired as before.

 

(d)          Any moneys thus collected by the Mortgagee under this Section 2.03 shall be applied by the Mortgagee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of Section 2.02.

25

SECTION 2.04.          After the happening of any Event of Default and immediately upon the commencement of any action, suit or other legal proceedings by the Mortgagee to obtain judgment for the amount outstanding under the Note and all other Indebtedness and other sums required to be paid by the Mortgagor pursuant to any provision of this Mortgage, or of any other nature in aid of the enforcement of the Note or of this Mortgage, the Mortgagor will (a) consent to the service of process as provided in Section 3.12 and enter its voluntary appearance in such action, suit or proceeding, and (b) if required by the Mortgagee, consent to the appointment of a receiver or receivers of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, and of all the earnings, revenues, rents, issues, profits and income thereof. After the happening of any Event of Default and during its continuance, or upon the commencement of any proceedings to foreclose this Mortgage or to enforce the specific performance hereof or in aid thereof or upon the commencement of any other judicial proceeding to enforce any right of the Mortgagee, the Mortgagee shall be entitled, as a matter of right, if it shall so elect, without the giving of notice to any other party and without regard to the adequacy or inadequacy of any security for the Indebtedness, forthwith either before or after declaring the unpaid principal of the Note to be due and payable, to the appointment of such a receiver or receivers.

 

SECTION 2.05.          Notwithstanding the appointment of any receiver, liquidator or trustee of the Mortgagor, or of any of its property, or of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, the Mortgagee shall be entitled to retain possession and control of all property now or hereafter held under this Mortgage.

 

SECTION 2.06.          No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Mortgagee is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, and each and every such remedy 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. No delay or omission of the Mortgagee to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or any acquiescence therein; and every power and remedy given by this Mortgage to the Mortgagee may be exercised from time to time as often as may be deemed expedient by the Mortgagee. Nothing in this Mortgage or in the Note shall affect the obligation of the Mortgagor to pay the amounts outstanding under the Note when due.

 

SECTION 2.07.          The Mortgagor will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatever claim or take any benefit or advantage of any stay or extension or moratorium law, any exemption from execution or sale of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants and terms of performance of this Mortgage, nor claim, take or insist upon any benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for the valuation or appraisal of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, prior to any sale or sales thereof which may be made pursuant to any provision herein, or pursuant to the decree, judgment or order of any court of competent jurisdiction; nor, after any such sale or sales, claim or exercise any right under any statute heretofore or hereafter enacted to redeem the property so sold or any part thereof and the Agency and the Mortgagor hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law or laws, and covenant not to hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted or delegated to the Mortgagee, but to suffer and permit the execution of every power as though no such law or laws had been made or enacted. The Agency and the Mortgagor each waive, to the extent that they lawfully may, all right to have the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, marshaled upon any foreclosure hereof.

 

SECTION 2.08.          During the continuance of any Event of Default, and pending the exercise by the Mortgagee of its right to exclude the Mortgagor from all or any part of the Premises, the Mortgagor agrees to pay the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupancy of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof that is in its possession for such period, and upon default of any such

26

payment, will vacate and surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, to the Mortgagee or to a receiver, if any, and in default thereof may be evicted by any summary action or proceeding for the recovery of possession of the Premises for non-payment of rent, however designated.

ARTICLE III

 

Miscellaneous

 

SECTION 3.01.          In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Mortgage or the Note shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall, at the option of the Mortgagee, not affect any other provision of this Mortgage, but this Mortgage shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein or therein.

 

SECTION 3.02.          All notices hereunder or under any applicable law pertaining hereto shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficiently given or served for all purposes when delivered (i) by personal service or courier service, and shall be deemed given on the date when signed for or, if refused, when refused by the person designated as an agent for receipt of service, (ii) by United States certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and shall be deemed given three (3) days after being sent, to any party hereto at its address above stated or such other address of which a party shall have notified the party giving such notice in writing as aforesaid.

 

SECTION 3.03.          All covenants hereof shall be construed as affording to the Mortgagee rights additional to and not exclusive of the rights conferred under the provisions of Sections 254 and 273 of the Real Property Law of the State of New York, or any other applicable law.

 

SECTION 3.04.          All of the grants, terms, conditions, provisions and covenants of this Mortgage shall run with the land, shall be binding upon the Agency and the Mortgagor and shall inure to the benefit of the Mortgagee, subsequent holders of this Mortgage and their respective successors and assigns. For the purpose of this Mortgage, the term “Mortgagor” shall include and refer to the Mortgagor named herein, any subsequent fee owner of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, including the Mortgagor, and their respective heirs, executors, legal representatives, successors and assigns of each.

 

SECTION 3.05.          The enforcement of this Mortgage shall be governed, construed and interpreted by the laws of the State where the Premises are located. Nothing in this Mortgage, the Note or in any other agreement between the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee shall require the Mortgagor to pay, or the Mortgagee to accept, interest in an amount which would subject the Mortgagee to any penalty or forfeiture under applicable law. In the event that the payment of any charges, fees or other sums due hereunder or under the Note or any such other agreement, which are or could be held to be in the nature of interest and which would subject the Mortgagee to any penalty or forfeiture under applicable law, then, ipso facto, the obligations of the Mortgagor to make such payment shall be reduced to the highest rate authorized under applicable law. Should the Mortgagee receive any payment which is or would be in excess of the highest rate authorized under law, such payment shall have been, and shall be deemed to have been, made in error, and shall automatically be applied to reduce the outstanding balance of the Indebtedness.

 

SECTION 3.06.          This Mortgage and all of the terms, covenants, provisions, conditions and grants contained in this Mortgage cannot be altered, amended, waived, modified or discharged orally, and

27

no executory agreement shall be effective to modify, waive or discharge, in whole or in part, anything contained in this Mortgage unless it is in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement of the modification, alteration, amendment, waiver or discharge is sought.

 

SECTION 3.07.          The Agency and Mortgagor acknowledge that each has received a true copy of this Mortgage.

 

SECTION 3.08.          This Mortgage may be executed in any number of counterparts, and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original; and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same mortgage.

 

SECTION 3.09.          All covenants hereof shall be construed as affording to the Mortgagee rights additional to and not exclusive of the rights conferred under the provisions of any applicable law.

 

SECTION 3.10.          The information set forth on the cover hereof is hereby incorporated herein.

 

SECTION 3.11.          The Agency and Mortgagor expressly agree, intending that the Mortgagee rely thereon, that this Mortgage also shall constitute a “security agreement,” as such term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code in the jurisdiction wherein the Premises are situated (the “Code”). The Mortgaged Property includes, and shall be deemed to include, inter alia, the Chattels and the Intangibles, regardless of whether they are held or hereafter acquired, of the Mortgagor in, to and under the Mortgaged Property. By executing and delivering this Mortgage, the Agency and Mortgagor have granted, in the same manner and with the same effect described in the Granting Clause hereof, to the Mortgagee, as additional security, a security interest in the Chattels and the Intangibles which are subject to the Code.

SECTION 3.19.          The relationship of the Mortgagee to the Mortgagor hereunder is strictly and solely that of lender and borrower and debtor and mortgagee and nothing contained in the Note, this Mortgage or any other document or instrument now or hereafter executed and delivered in connection therewith or otherwise in connection with the loan secured hereby is intended to create, or shall in any event or under any circumstance be construed as creating, a partnership, joint venture, tenancy-in-common, joint tenancy or other relationship of any nature whatsoever between the Mortgagee and the Mortgagor other than as lender and borrower. The relationship of the Agency and the Mortgagee is strictly and solely that of debtor and mortgagee.

(a)          The Mortgagor agrees that the Agency, its directors, members, officers, agents and employees shall not be liable for and agrees to defend, indemnify, release and hold the Agency, its director, members, officers, agents and employees harmless from and against any and all (i) liability for loss or damage to property or injury to or death of any and all persons that may be occasioned by, directly or indirectly, any cause whatsoever pertaining to the Facility or arising by reason of or in connection with the use thereof or under this Mortgage, or (ii) liability arising from or expense incurred by the Agency’s acquiring, constructing and equipping, installation, owning and leasing of the Premises, including without limitation the generality of the foregoing, all claims arising from the breach by the Mortgagor of any of its covenants contained herein and all causes of action and reasonable attorneys’ fees (whether by reason of third party claims or by reason of the enforcement of any provision of the Lease or this Mortgage (including without limitation this Section) and any other expenses incurred in defending any claims, suits or actions) which may arise as a result of the foregoing, provided that any such losses, damages, liabilities or expenses of the Agency are not incurred or do not result from the gross negligence or intentional or willful wrongdoing of the Agency or any of its directors, members, officers, agents (except the Mortgagor) or employees. The foregoing indemnities shall apply notwithstanding the fault or negligence

30

on the part of the Agency, or any of its members, directors, officers, agents, or employees and irrespective of the breach of a statutory obligation or the application of any rule of comparative or apportioned liability. The foregoing indemnities are limited only to the extent of any prohibitions imposed by law, and upon the application of such prohibition by the final judgment or decision of a competent court of law, the remaining provisions of these indemnities shall remain in full force and effect.

 

(b)          Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Mortgage, the obligations of the Mortgagor pursuant to this Section 3.20 shall remain in full force and effect after the termination of this Mortgage until the expiration of the period stated in the applicable statute of limitations during which a claim, cause of action or prosecution relating to the matters herein described may be brought and payment in full or the satisfaction of such claim, cause of action or prosecution relating to the matters herein described and the payment of all reasonable expenses and charges incurred by the Agency, or its respective members, directors, officers, agents (except the Mortgagor) and employees, relating to the enforcement of the provisions herein specified.

 

(c)          In the event of any claim against the Agency or its members, directors, officers, agents or employees by any employee or contractor of the Mortgagor or anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable, the obligations of the Mortgagor hereunder shall not be limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation, disability benefits or other employee benefit acts.

 

(d)          The Mortgagor directs the Agency to execute and deliver this Mortgage to the Mortgagee, and further agrees to indemnify the Agency (and its members, officer, directors, agents, servants and employees) in connection with the execution, delivery, recording, performing and enforcing of this Mortgage.

 

SECTION 3.21.          The Mortgagee shall not be deemed to have consented to or acquiesced in any particular provision of any of the IDA Company Lease, the IDA Lease, or the Enzo Life Sciences Sublease.

SECTION 3.22.          Termination of IDA Lease Agreements. Upon termination of the IDA Company Lease and IDA Lease for any reason whatsoever and at the sole cost and expense of the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee shall prepare and deliver to the Agency and the Mortgagor, and the Agency and the Mortgagor shall execute, any documents necessary to amend and restate the Mortgage, in order to remove the Agency as a party hereto.

 

SECTION 3.23.          Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Mortgage to the contrary, the maximum amount of principal indebtedness secured hereby at execution, or which under any contingency may become secured hereby at any time hereafter, is $4,500,000.00, with interest (including interest at the Involuntary Rate to the extent provided in this Mortgage), late charges and such other sums as may (a) be advanced by the Mortgagee pursuant to the Loan Documents for the protection of the Mortgaged Property or the preservation of the lien of this Mortgage (together with reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) and (b) be secured hereby without resulting in the imposition of mortgage recording tax in addition to the amount of tax due with respect to the principal indebtedness of $4,500,000.00.

 

SECTION 3.24          The Mortgagor and Agency agree that the IDA Company Lease, IDA Lease, and the Enzo Life Sciences Sublease are subject and subordinate in all respects (including without limitation, matters pertaining to property insurance and condemnation proceeds) to this Mortgage,

31

including any renewals, replacements, extensions, modifications, etc. of the same. This provision shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be necessary.

 

SECTION 3.25          INDEMNITY. THE MORTGAGOR SHALL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, PROTECT, AND HOLD HARMLESS THE MORTGAGEE, ITS PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS, SUCCESSORS, AND ASSIGNS (INDIVIDUALLY, AN “INDEMNIFIED PARTY,” AND COLLECTIVELY, THE “INDEMNIFIED PARTIES”) FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, DAMAGES (INCLUDING CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES), LOSSES, COSTS, DISBURSEMENTS OR EXPENSES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES), PENALTIES, ACTIONS, SUITS, PROCEEDINGS, JUDGMENTS, CLAIMS, DEMANDS OR LITIGATION DEMANDS, DEFENSES, OR DISPUTES INCURRED OR SUFFERED BY THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES WHETHER OR NOT AS THE RESULT OF THE NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SOLE, COMPARATIVE, OR CONTRIBUTORY, BUT NOT GROSS NEGLIGENCE) OF ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY, WHETHER VOLUNTARILY OR INVOLUNTARILY INCURRED OR SUFFERED, ARISING OUT OF, BASED UPON, OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE LOAN, OR ANY ACTIONS OR OMISSIONS RELATED THERETO, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:

 

(a)          ANY LITIGATION CONCERNING THIS MORTGAGE, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY, OR ANY INTEREST OF THE MORTGAGOR OR THE MORTGAGEE THEREIN, OR THE RIGHT OF OCCUPANCY THEREOF BY THE MORTGAGOR OR THE MORTGAGEE, WHETHER OR NOT ANY SUCH LITIGATION IS PROSECUTED TO A FINAL, NONAPPEALABLE JUDGMENT;

 

(b)          ANY ACT OR OMISSION OF THE MORTGAGOR OR ANY OF ITS AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, SERVANTS, EMPLOYEES OR LICENSEES, IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOAN AND/OR THE PREMISES, INCLUDING THE OWNERSHIP, MANAGEMENT, MAINTENANCE, USE, OPERATION, MARKETING, SALE, CONDITION (ENVIRONMENTAL OR OTHERWISE), OCCUPANCY, OR POSSESSION OF THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY, OR ANY PART THEREOF;

 

(c)          ANY INACCURACY IN OR BREACH OF ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF THE MORTGAGOR SET FORTH IN THIS MORTGAGE OR IN ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS;

 

(d)          ANY DISPUTE (i) AMONG OR BETWEEN THE MORTGAGOR, ANY GUARANTOR, AND/OR ANY PARTNER, SHAREHOLDER, OFFICER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE, OR AFFILIATE OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING, OR (ii) WITH ANY BROKER;

 

(e)          ANY ACTION TAKEN OR NOT TAKEN BY THE MORTGAGEE WHICH IS ALLOWED OR PERMITTED UNDER THIS MORTGAGE OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS RELATING TO THE MORTGAGOR, THE PREMISES, ANY GUARANTOR, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING THE PROTECTION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY LIEN, SECURITY INTEREST, OR OTHER RIGHT, REMEDY, OR RECOURSE CREATED OR AFFORDED BY THIS MORTGAGE OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; AND

 

(f)          ANY VIOLATION OF ANY LAWS;

32

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY, THE FOREGOING INDEMNITIES SHALL NOT APPLY TO ANY MATTERS THAT FIRST OCCUR AFTER THE MORTGAGEE OR ANY SUCCESSOR IN INTEREST TO THE MORTGAGEE ACQUIRES TITLE TO THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY BY REASON OF FORECLOSURE, DEED IN LIEU OF FORECLOSURE OR OTHERWISE.

 

In the event that any action or proceeding is brought against any Indemnified Party with respect to which indemnity may be sought hereunder, the Mortgagor, upon written notice from the Indemnified Party, shall assume the investigation and defense thereof, including the employment of counsel selected by the Indemnified Party, and shall assume the payment of all expenses related thereto, with full power to litigate, compromise or settle the same in its sole and absolute discretion; provided that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to review and approve or disapprove any such compromise or settlement. Each Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action or proceeding and participate in the investigation and defense thereof, and the Mortgagor shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel; provided, however, that such Indemnified Party may only employ separate counsel at the expense of the Mortgagor if in its reasonable judgment a conflict of interest exists by reason of common representation or if all parties commonly represented do not agree as to the action (or inaction) of counsel.

 

The Mortgagor shall reimburse each Indemnified Party for its respective fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) incurred in connection with any of the foregoing within ten (10) days after such Indemnified Party gives a written demand therefor, whether or not an action is actually commenced or concluded. All other indemnity obligations hereunder shall become due and payable when actually incurred by the Indemnified Party. Any payments not made when due shall bear interest at the default rate from the date such payment was due until fully paid. So long as the lien of this Mortgage has not been fully released or reconveyed, all amounts payable by the Mortgagor, and interest thereon, under this Section 3.25 shall be secured by this Mortgage and all other collateral for the Loan.

 

The provisions of this Section 3.25 shall survive (i) repayment of the Indebtedness; (ii) the release, reconveyance or cancellation of the lien of this Mortgage or any other collateral securing or parties liable for any part of the Indebtedness; (iii) any foreclosure (or action or deed in lieu of foreclosure); (iv) the sale or other transfer by the Mortgagor or of the Mortgagee (if it acquires title to the Mortgaged Property) of any or all of its right, title and interest in or to the Mortgaged Property; and (v) the exercise by the Mortgagee of any and all remedies set forth herein or in the Loan Documents.
