On June 8, 2012 (the “Closing Date”), Palmer-Mapletree LLC (the “Borrower”), of which Presidential Realty Corporation (the “Company”) is the sole member, closed on a Loan Agreement dated June 8, 2012 (the “Loan Agreement”) with Country Bank for Savings (the “Lender”). The Loan Agreement provides to the Borrower a $500,000 commercial mortgage evidenced by a Commercial Note issued by the Borrower in favor of the Lender (the “Commercial Note”) and a commercial revolving demand line of credit in an amount not to exceed $500,000 evidenced by a Demand Revolving Line of Credit Note issued by the Borrower in favor of the Lender (the “Revolving Note” and together with the Commercial Note, the “Notes”).
The Commercial Note provides for an interest rate of 5% per annum for an initial period of 5 years from the Closing Date (the “Initial Period”). Thereafter, the interest rate will be adjusted during each one month period (the “Adjustment Period”), or any portion thereof, equal to the Lender’s Prime Rate plus 1% with a floor of 5% per annum. During the Initial Period, principal and interest of the Commercial Note shall be payable monthly in the amount of $3,973.24, and thereafter, in such amounts necessary to fully amortize the then unpaid principal existing at the expiration of the Initial Period and each Adjustment Period at the then applicable rate of interest and based upon an amortization period of 15 years from the Closing Date. Any remaining unpaid principal and accrued interest shall be due and payable on June 8, 2027. If any payment due under the Commercial Note is more than fifteen days overdue, a late charge of 5% of the overdue payment shall be immediately due and payable to the Lender. The Borrower may prepay the Commercial Note at any time, subject to a prepayment premium of 5% of the outstanding principal balance if the prepayment occurs during the first year of the Commercial Note, 4% if the prepayment occurs during the second year, 3% if the prepayment occurs during the third year, 2% if the prepayment occurs during the fourth year and 1% if the prepayment occurs during the fifth year. Upon an event of default, the outstanding principal of the Commercial Note shall bear interest at a rate equal to the lesser of (a) the highest interest rate permitted by applicable law or (b) 5% per annum above the interest rate then in effect at the time of the default.
The Revolving Note provides for an adjustable rate of interest of 1% per annum above the Lender’s Prime Rate on all loans advanced under the Revolving Note and shall be payable monthly in arrears. Interest rate changes shall be effective as of each change in the Prime Rate. Advances under the Revolving Note by Lender to Borrow shall be made in Lender’s sole and exclusive discretion. All unpaid principal, interest, and other amounts due under the Revolving Note shall be immediately due and payable on demand and shall be in default upon the failure of the Borrower to pay immediately any amount due, once demand is made. If any payment due under the Revolving Note is more than fifteen days overdue, a late charge of 5% of the overdue payment shall be immediately due and payable to the Lender. Upon an event of default, the outstanding principal of the Revolving Note shall bear interest at a rate equal to the lesser of (a) the highest interest rate permitted by applicable law or (b) 5% per annum above the interest rate then in effect at the time of the default. Funds advanced to Borrower will be utilized by Borrower and the Company for working capital or other business purposes.
The Borrower’s obligations under the Notes are secured by the Borrower’s land, with all buildings and improvements now or hereafter thereon, located at 20 Wilbraham Street, Palmer, Hampden County, Massachusetts pursuant to a Mortgage and Security Agreement (the “Mortgage”).
The foregoing description of the Loan Agreement, Notes and Mortgage are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full terms and conditions of the documents filed as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Section 4.2 Remedies. If and for as long as any Event of Default exists, Lender shall have and may exercise, without notice except as otherwise provided herein, concurrently, successively or in such other manner as Lender may elect, all remedies which may be available at law or in equity, including, without limitation, those hereafter expressly enumerated in this Section 4.2. Except as may be required by law, Lender shall not be required to accept the tender of cure of any Event of Default after the exercise of any remedy has been commenced.
Section 4.2.1 Acceleration. Lender may declare the entire principal sum of the Notes, together with all accrued but unpaid interest and any other charges to be due and payable immediately or at such time and under such conditions as Lender may elect by notice to Borrower, and may exercise any or all of its remedies under this Agreement, the Security Instruments and the other Loan Documents.

Borrower hereby grants to Lender or any appointed receiver the right to take any action which Borrower might take in connection with the control or management of its business and affairs (whether or not otherwise permitted by this Agreement), including, without limitation, executing in the name of Borrower deeds of trust, security agreements, assignments, assumptions, releases and other documents or instruments, whether or not of the same kind.

11 |
Section 4.2.3 Specific Enforcement - Injunctions. Many of the rights of Lender under this Agreement, whether arising from an Event of Default or otherwise, relate to unique assets and to restrictive covenants, including the right to preclude any Principal from taking various actions. Borrower and Lender recognize that Lender will not obtain the full benefit of its bargain through the receipt of money damages but must receive specific performance of the terms of this Agreement. Accordingly, Borrower and Lender hereby express their intention that a court award equitable relief and enforce specifically the rights of Lender under this Agreement.
All rights and remedies accorded to Lender by this Agreement, by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents and by law are separate and cumulative and not alternative and may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently at Lender's sole option.

COMMERCIAL NOTE
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Undersigned, Palmer-Mapletree LLC, a Delaware limited liability company with its principal place of business at 9 East 40th Street, Suite 900, New York, New, York (the "Borrower") promises to pay to the order of Country Bank for Savings ("Lender"), at the Lender's main office presently located at 75 Main Street, Ware, Hampshire County, Massachusetts, or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing, the principal sum of FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($500,000.00), plus interest, all as hereinafter set forth ("Note").
INTEREST
Interest from the date hereof upon the unpaid principal balance from time to time outstanding shall accrue at an initial fixed rate of five and 00/100 percent (5.00%) per annum for an initial period of five (5) years, commencing from the date hereof (the “Initial Period”), and thereafter, during each succeeding one (1) month period ("Adjustment Period"), at a fixed rate to be determined as of the first day of each such Adjustment Period and equal to Lender's Prime Rate on that date plus one and 00/100 percent (1.00%) per annum, provided, however, at no time, shall the interest rate charged in connection with this Note be less than five and 00/100 percent (5.00%) per annum. "Prime Rate" as used herein shall mean the "Prime Rate" as identified and published by the Wall Street Journal under its listing of Money Rates (and where more than one "Prime Rate" is so published, the highest rate shall be used herein). If the above Prime Rate index should no longer become available, Lender shall select a new index which is based upon comparable information and shall notify the Undersigned of the change. Interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and shall accrue and be paid for the actual number of days any principal hereunder remains unpaid.
REPAYMENT
Principal and interest due Lender hereunder shall be repayable as follows:
A. | Commencing one (1) month from the date hereof and on the same day of each month during the Initial Period, payments of principal and interest in the amount of $3,972.92; |
B. | Thereafter, and on the same day of each succeeding month during each Adjustment Period, payments of principal and interest in such amounts as are necessary to fully amortize the (then) unpaid principal hereunder existing on the first day of each such Adjustment Period at the (then) applicable rate of interest and based upon an amortization period of fifteen (15) years less the number of years elapsed from the date hereof; |
1 |
C. | Any remaining unpaid principal, and all accrued interest thereon, shall be due and payable IN FULL fifteen (15) years from the date hereof. |
Any payments received by Lender with respect to this Note shall be applied first to any costs, charges or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) due Lender from the Undersigned, second to any unpaid accrued interest hereunder and third to the unpaid principal hereunder.
If any payment required hereunder is more than fifteen (15) days overdue, (in addition to the interest accruing hereunder) a late charge of five percent (5.00%) of the overdue payment shall be charged to the Undersigned and be immediately due and payable to Lender. Any payment having a due date falling upon any day during which the Lender is not open for business shall be due and payable on the next business day for which Lender is open for business and interest shall continue to accrue during the extended period.
If any payment received by Lender with respect to this Note shall be deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been a voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under federal or state law, or otherwise due any party other than Lender, then the obligation for which the payment was made shall not be discharged by the payment and shall survive as an obligation due hereunder, notwithstanding the Lender's return to the Undersigned or any other party of the original of this Note or other instrument evidencing the obligation for which payment was made.
The Borrower shall have the right to prepay this Note at any time, provided, however, in the event of any Prepayment the Borrower shall pay to the Lender a Prepayment premium computed as follows:
(a) | If Prepayment occurs during the first year of this Note, the premium shall be an amount equal to five percent (5.00%) of the outstanding principal balance existing immediately prior to the Prepayment. |
(b) | If Prepayment occurs after the first year of this Note, but prior to commencement of the third year of this Note, the premium shall be an amount equal to four percent (4.00%) of the outstanding principal balance existing immediately prior to the Prepayment. |
(c) | If Prepayment occurs after the second year of this Note, but prior to commencement of the fourth year of this Note, the premium shall be an amount equal to three percent (3.00%) of the outstanding principal balance existing immediately prior to the Prepayment. |
(d) | If Prepayment occurs after the third year of this Note, but prior to commencement of the fifth year of this Note, the premium shall be an amount equal to two percent (2.00%) of the outstanding principal balance existing immediately prior to the Prepayment. |
(e) | If Prepayment occurs after the fourth year of this Note, but prior to commencement of the sixth year of this Note, the premium shall be an amount equal to one percent (1.00%) of the outstanding principal balance existing immediately prior to the Prepayment. |
2 |
For purposes hereof, “Prepayment” shall mean any payment of principal in advance of its due date. All Prepayments, whether by acceleration or otherwise, shall be applied against the principal payments due hereunder in the inverse order of their maturity.
Upon the occurrence of a default hereunder, interest upon the total unpaid principal hereunder shall thereafter, at Lender's option, without notice to Undersigned, and until payment in full of all obligations hereunder, accrue at a rate ("Default Rate") equal to the lesser of (a) the highest interest rate permitted by applicable law or (b) five percent (5.00%) per annum above the interest rate then in effect hereunder at the time of the default.
It is not intended under this Note to charge interest at a rate exceeding the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged under applicable law, but if interest exceeding said maximum rate should be paid hereunder, the excess shall, at Lender's option, be (a) deemed a voluntary prepayment of principal not subject to the prepayment premium (if any) set forth herein or (b) refunded to the Undersigned.
The following described property, in addition to all other collateral now or hereafter provided by the Undersigned to Lender, shall secure this Note and all other present or future obligations of the Undersigned to Lender: Mortgage on property owned by the Borrower and located at 20 Wilbraham Street, Palmer, Hampden County, Massachusetts (the "Mortgaged Premises").
As additional collateral for the payment and performance of this Note and all other obligations, whether now existing or hereafter arising, of the Undersigned to Lender, Lender shall at all times have and is hereby granted a security interest in, and right of offset against, all cash, deposit balances and/or accounts, instruments, securities or other property of the Undersigned, and of any endorser or guarantor hereof, now or hereafter in the possession of Lender, whether for safekeeping or otherwise. This right of offset shall permit Lender at any time and without notice to the Undersigned or any endorser or guarantor hereof, to transfer such funds or property as may be deemed by Lender to be appropriate so as to reduce or satisfy any obligation of the Undersigned to the Lender, whether or not such obligation is then due.
3 |
This Note shall be IN DEFAULT and the total unpaid principal hereunder and all accrued interest thereon shall, at Lender's option, be immediately due and payable, without prior notice, protest, or demand, upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events of default (an “Event of Default”): (a) the failure of the Undersigned to pay any amount when due hereunder within 10 days following written notice from Lender; (b) the failure of the Undersigned to perform any other obligation to Lender as required hereunder or under any other agreement between Lender and the Undersigned, after the expiration of any applicable grace or cure period; (c) the occurrence of any default under, or the breach of, any term or condition of this or any other note, any mortgage, loan and/or security agreement, guaranty, or any other agreement between Lender and the Undersigned, after the expiration of any applicable grace or cure period; (d) Lender's determination that any representation made by the Undersigned to Lender at any time was not true or accurate in any material respect when given;(e) the granting of any trust mortgage upon any assets of the Undersigned, the occurrence of any assignment for the benefit of the Undersigned's creditors or the appointment of a custodian, trustee, or receiver with respect to any assets of the Undersigned, or the filing of any petition by or against the Undersigned under the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 (as amended) or any other federal or state law by which the Undersigned is or may be relieved from its debts, provided however, the Undersigned shall have forty five (45) days within which to obtain a final dismissal of any involuntary bankruptcy petition; (f) the service of any process upon Lender by which any funds of the Undersigned being held by Lender may be attached if not dismissed or fully bonded within 30 days; (g) the attachment of any other assets of the Undersigned, where such attachment is not released, terminated or fully bonded within thirty (30) days of the order authorizing it; (h) the entry of any judgment against the Undersigned which is not satisfied or appealed from within fifteen (15) days of its entry; (i) the death, incapacity, dissolution, termination of existence or liquidation of any of the Undersigned; (j) the occurrence of any of the foregoing events of default with respect to any endorser of any obligations of the Undersigned to Lender.
The Undersigned respectively (a) waive presentment, demand, notice, protest and delay in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, collection and enforcement of this Note, and (b) assent to any extension, renewal, modification or other indulgence permitted by Lender with respect to this Note, including, without limitation, any release, substitution, or addition of co-makers, endorsers or guarantors of this Note and any release, substitution or addition of collateral securing this Note or any other obligations of the Undersigned, or any such endorsers or guarantors, to Lender, and (c) authorize Lender, in its sole and exclusive discretion and without notice to the Undersigned, or any endorser or guarantor hereof, to complete this Note if delivered incomplete in any respect.
No indulgence, delay or omission by Lender in exercising or enforcing any of its rights or remedies hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any such rights or remedies or of the right to exercise them at any later time. No waiver of any default hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any other default hereunder or as a continuing waiver. The Lender's acceptance of any payment hereunder, following any default, shall not constitute a waiver of such default or of any of the Lender's rights or remedies hereunder (including charging interest at the Default Rate), unless waived in writing by Lender.
All of the Lender's rights and remedies hereunder, and under any other related loan documents, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently, at the Lender's sole and exclusive discretion.
4 |
The Undersigned jointly and severally agree to pay on demand all costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Lender in connection with the protection and/or enforcement of any of Lender's rights or remedies hereunder, whether or not any suit has been instituted by Lender.

REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT
MAXIMUM PRINCIPAL AMOUNT:
DEMAND REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT NOTE
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Undersigned, Palmer-Mapletree LLC, a Delaware limited liability company with its principal place of business at 9 East 40th Street, Suite 900, New York, New, York (the "Borrower"), promise(s) to pay to the order of Country Bank for Savings ("Lender"), at the Lender's main office presently located at 75 Main Street, Ware, Hampshire County, Massachusetts, or such other place as Lender may designate in writing, ON DEMAND, the principal sum of FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($500,000.00), or, if greater or lesser, the (then) total unpaid principal balance due Lender (as reflected by the Lender's books and records) as a result of loans hereafter made by Lender to the Undersigned under this Note from time to time, plus all interest and other charges due Lender hereunder.
Interest upon all loans advanced under this Note shall, from the date of the advance and until repaid, accrue at an adjustable rate of interest floating at one and 00/100 percent (1.00%) per annum over Lender's Prime Rate (as hereinafter defined) and shall be payable monthly in arrears, commencing one (1) month from the date hereof and on the same day of each month thereafter, without demand. "Prime Rate" as used herein shall mean the "Prime Rate" as identified and published by the Wall Street Journal under its listing of Money Rates (and where more than one "Prime Rate" is so published, the highest rate shall be used herein). Each change in such interest rate shall take effect simultaneously with the corresponding change in such Prime Rate. If the above Prime Rate index should no longer become available, Lender shall select a new index which is based upon comparable information and shall notify the Undersigned of the change. Interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and shall accrue and be paid for the actual number of days any principal hereunder remains unpaid. Funds advanced to Borrower will be utilized by Borrower and its sole member Presidential Realty Corporation for working capital or other business purposes.
In accordance with the terms hereof, Lender shall consider the Undersigned's requests from time-to-time for loans hereunder, and Lender may from time-to-time make such loans to the Undersigned, at Lender's sole and exclusive discretion. The aggregate amount of all loans or advances (plus any amounts added to principal pursuant to the terms of this Note) made by Lender to Undersigned hereunder, less all payments and credits which Lender has applied against principal under the terms of this Note, shall constitute the unpaid principal balance due Lender hereunder, while the total amount of the Undersigned's indebtedness to Lender by reason of loans, advances, and other appropriate charges, including interest, under this Note, less all payments and credits which Lender has applied against the indebtedness under the terms of this Note, shall constitute the total unpaid balance due Lender hereunder. The Lender's books and records shall at all times constitute prima facie evidence of all amounts due Lender. At least once each month, Lender shall render a statement of account for the amounts due Lender hereunder, which statement shall be considered correct, accepted by, and conclusively binding upon the Undersigned, unless the Undersigned submits a written objection within fifteen (15) days from the date the statement is mailed to the Undersigned.
It will be within the continuing, sole and exclusive discretion of Lender whether to make or continue to make loans of any amount under this Note. At no time shall the Undersigned be entitled to any loans or advances which cause the unpaid principal balance hereunder to exceed the stated maximum principal amount hereof, and if at any time such excess does arise, the Undersigned shall pledge, assign, and transfer to Lender additional collateral or shall pay cash to Lender to be credited to the total unpaid balance hereof in such an amount as may be necessary to eliminate this excess. However, nothing herein shall be construed to restrict Lender, in its sole and exclusive discretion, from making advances in excess of the stated maximum principal amount or from waiving any requirements upon collateral herein, without modification hereof or the execution of any additional note(s), and by so doing at any time, Lender does not waive its right to insist upon strict compliance with the terms hereof at any other time and to further rely upon all collateral secured to it for satisfaction of all obligations of the Undersigned to Lender, without exception.
The Undersigned agree that Lender, in its sole and exclusive discretion, may make loans hereunder to the Undersigned upon verbal or written authority from any person representing to have authority to act on behalf of the Undersigned and may deliver loans hereunder to the Undersigned by direct deposit to any demand deposit account of the Undersigned with Lender, or as otherwise instructed.
If any payment required hereunder is more than fifteen (15) days overdue, (in addition to the interest accruing hereunder) a late charge of five percent (5.00%) of the overdue payment shall be charged to the Undersigned and be immediately due and payable to Lender. Any payment having a due date falling upon a legal holiday or a day during which Lender is not open for business shall be due and payable on the next business day for which Lender is open for business, and interest shall continue to accrue during the extended period.
The Undersigned hereby authorizes Lender to debit from any account(s) of the Undersigned with Lender, at any time, any interest or other charges due Lender hereunder, upon prior notice to the Undersigned.
Any interest or other charges hereunder, if not paid when due, may, at Lender's option and without prior notice to the Undersigned be added to the principal balance due hereunder, with interest likewise accruing thereon at the rates set forth herein.
2 |
Any payments received by Lender with respect to this Note shall be applied first to any charges, or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) due Lender from the Undersigned, second to any unpaid accrued interest hereunder, and third to the unpaid principal hereunder.
If any payment received by Lender with respect to this Note shall be deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been a voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under federal or state law, or otherwise due any party other than Lender, then the obligation for which the payment was made shall not be discharged by the payment and shall survive as an obligation due hereunder, notwithstanding the Lender's return to the Undersigned or any other party of the original of this Note or other instrument evidencing the obligation for which payment was made.
Upon the occurrence of a default hereunder, interest upon the total unpaid principal hereunder shall thereafter, at Lender's option, without notice to Undersigned, and until payment in full of all obligations hereunder, accrue at a rate ("Default Rate") equal to the lesser of (a) the highest interest rate permitted by applicable law or (b) five percent (5.00%) per annum above the interest rate then in effect hereunder at the time of the default.
It is not intended under this Note to charge interest at a rate exceeding the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged under applicable law, but if interest exceeding said maximum rate should be paid hereunder, the excess shall, at Lender's option, be (a) deemed a voluntary prepayment of principal not subject to the prepayment premium (if any) set forth herein or (b) refunded to the Undersigned.
The following described property, in addition to all other collateral now or hereafter provided by the Undersigned to Lender, shall secure this Note and all other present or future obligations of the Undersigned to Lender: 20 Wilbraham Street, Palmer, Hampden County, Massachusetts.
As additional collateral for the payment and performance of this Note and all other obligations, whether now existing or hereafter arising, of the Undersigned to Lender, Lender shall at all times have and is hereby granted a security interest in and right of offset against all cash, deposit balances and/or accounts, instruments, securities, or other property of the Undersigned, and of any endorser or guarantor hereof, now or hereafter in the possession of Lender, whether for safekeeping or otherwise. This right of offset shall permit Lender at any time and without notice to the Undersigned or any endorser or guarantor hereof, to transfer such funds or property as may be deemed by Lender to be appropriate so as to reduce or satisfy any obligation of the Undersigned to the Bank, whether or not such obligation is then due.
3 |
All unpaid principal, interest, and other amounts due under this Note shall at all times be immediately due and payable UPON DEMAND (whether or not scheduled payments required hereunder have been timely made), and this Note shall be IN DEFAULT upon the failure of the Undersigned to pay immediately any amount due hereunder, once demand is made.
The Undersigned, and each endorser and guarantor hereof, respectively (a) waive presentment, demand, notice, protest, and delay in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, collection, and enforcement of this Note, and (b) assent to any extension, renewal, modification, or other indulgence permitted by Lender with respect to this Note, including, without limitation, any release, substitution, or addition of co-makers, endorsers, or guarantors of this Note and any release, substitution, or addition of collateral securing this Note or any other obligations of the Undersigned, or any such endorsers or guarantors, to Lender, and (c) authorize Lender, in its sole and exclusive discretion and without notice to the Undersigned, or any endorser or guarantor hereof, to complete this Note if delivered incomplete in any respect.
No indulgence, delay or omission by Lender in exercising or enforcing any of its rights or remedies hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any such rights or remedies or of the right to exercise them at any later time. No waiver of any default hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any other default hereunder or as a continuing waiver. The Lender's acceptance of any payment hereunder, following any default, shall not constitute a waiver of such default or of any of the Lender's rights or remedies hereunder (including charging interest at the Default Rate), unless waived in writing by Lender.
All of the Lender's rights and remedies hereunder and under any other related loan documents shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently, at the Lender's sole and exclusive discretion.
The Undersigned jointly and severally agree to pay on demand all costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney's fees, incurred by Lender in connection with the protection and/or enforcement of any of Lender's rights or remedies hereunder, whether or not any suit has been instituted by Lender.
The word "Lender" where used herein shall mean the named payee, its successors, assigns, affiliates, and endorsees (and/or the holder of this Note if, at any time, it is made payable to bearer), all of whom this Note shall inure to their benefit as holders in due course.

The Undersigned, at its own expense, shall provide Lender with such financial statements and other information as Lender may from time-to-time require.
This Note shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and the Undersigned, and each endorser and guarantor hereof, submit to the jurisdiction of its courts with respect to all claims concerning this Note or any collateral securing it.
ALL PARTIES TO THIS NOTE, INCLUDING LENDER, HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY, AS TO ALL ISSUES, INCLUDING ANY COUNTERCLAIMS, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, TO THIS NOTE AND/OR OTHER INSTRUMENTS OR LOAN DOCUMENTS (IF ANY) EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH.

I. | GRANT OF MORTGAGE AND SECURITY INTEREST |
1.01 | For good and valuable consideration, and in order to secure the prompt and complete payment and performance of any and all charges, debts, claims, agreements, liabilities and obligations of Mortgagor to Mortgagee of every kind, nature and description, whether now existing or hereafter arising, absolute or contingent, direct or indirect, and whether as maker or otherwise, including, without limitation, (i) the payment of a Commercial Note of even date in the principal amount of $500,000.00; (ii) the payment of a Demand Revolving Line of Credit Note in the principal amount of $500,000.00; and (iii) all terms, covenants and agreements contained in this Mortgage, (collectively, the "Obligations"), Mortgagor does hereby grant to Mortgagee, with MORTGAGE COVENANTS, the land, with all buildings and improvements now or hereafter thereon, located at 20 WILBRAHAM STREET, PALMER, HAMPDEN COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS, as more particularly described in Exhibit A annexed hereto, and with all easements, covenants, agreements and rights which are appurtenant to or benefit such land, and also including any item of Related Personal Property (as hereinafter defined) constituting a fixture under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (collectively, the "Real Property") and pledges and assigns to Mortgagee, and grants to Mortgagee a security interest in, all right, title and interest of Mortgagor in and to all tangible and intangible personal property (whether now existing or hereafter acquired or arising, and wherever located) upon, concerning or in any way relating to the Real Property, including, without limitation, (i) all fixtures, machinery, equipment, furniture, inventory, building supplies, appliances and other personal property, including but not limited to, all furnaces, ranges, heaters, plumbing goods, gas and electric fixtures, screens, screen doors, mantels, shades, storm doors and windows, awnings, oil burners and tanks or other equipment, gas or electric refrigerators and refrigerating systems, ventilating and air conditioning apparatus and equipment, doorbell and alarm systems, sprinkler and fire extinguishing systems, portable or sectional buildings, and all fixtures of whatever kind or nature now or hereafter contained in or on the Real Property; (ii) all machinery, equipment, furniture, fixtures, accounts, general intangibles, instruments, documents, chattel paper, inventory, building materials or supplies, and appliances used or useful in the construction, operation, maintenance or occupation of the Real Property; (iii) all leases, contracts or agreements relating to the lease, rental, hire or use by Mortgagor of any of the aforementioned personal property; (iv) all leases, tenancies, occupancies and license arrangements pertaining to the Real Property or any portion thereof, and all guaranties and security relating thereto; (v) all rents, issues, profits and other benefits from the Real Property, any of the above described personal property, and any of the leases, tenancies, occupancies, license arrangements and rental agreements relating thereto; (vi) all contracts, agreements, licenses, permits and approvals, privileges, warranties and representations relating to the use, operation, management, construction, repair or service of any of the Real Property or personalty described above; (vii) any and all agreements to sell the Real Property or any portion thereof; (viii) all funds held by Mortgagee as tax or insurance escrow payments or for other purposes; (ix) all insurance policies and all proceeds or unearned insurance premiums relating thereto; (x) all claims, awards, damages, proceeds or refunds from any federal, state or local condemnation or other taking of, and all municipal tax abatements relating to, any or all of the Real Property or any personalty relating thereto; (xi) all construction contracts, subcontracts, architectural agreements, labor, material and payment bonds, guaranties and warranties, and plans and specifications relating to the construction of improvements upon the Real Property, and (xii) all proceeds, products, substitutions and accessions to any of the foregoing (collectively, the "Related Personal Property"). The Real Property and all Related Personal Property shall hereinafter be collectively referred to as the "Collateral". |
1 |
1.02 | It is expressly intended by Mortgagor that this Mortgage shall at all times secure all of the Obligations, whether now existing or hereafter incurred by future advance or otherwise, whether or not any of the Obligations are related to the present transaction pertaining to this Mortgage or contemplated by Mortgagor or Mortgagee at the time of this Mortgage, and whether or not this Mortgage is referenced within any document evidencing any of such Obligations. To the extent any of the Obligations shall be that of less than all parties constituting the Mortgagor herein, any such co-mortgagor not liable for any of such Obligations hereby expressly hypothecates his/her/its ownership interest in the Collateral to the extent of all Obligations. It is also intended that the lien of this Mortgage shall at all times take priority over any other lien hereafter granted by Mortgagor upon any of the Collateral, whether or not the Obligations secured hereby are incurred prior to or after the grant of such junior lien. |
2 |
II. | REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS |
Mortgagor hereby further covenants, warrants and agrees with Mortgagee as follows:
2.01 | Mortgagor shall pay when due, and fully and promptly perform all of the provisions, agreements and covenants of, the Obligations. |
2.02 | Mortgagor is, and shall hereafter remain, the owner of the Collateral free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, except for the mortgage and security interest created hereby and liens for real estate taxes and municipal betterments not yet due and payable. Mortgagor has the full right, power, and authority to execute and deliver this Mortgage. Mortgagor shall defend the Collateral and Mortgagee forever against all claims and demands of all persons and indemnify Mortgagee against any losses or expenses resulting from such claims and demands. |
2.03 | Mortgagor shall pay when due all taxes, charges for water, sewer and other municipal services, and assessments, now or hereafter assessed or imposed against any of the Collateral, any interest therein, or any obligations secured thereby. Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee, upon request, evidence of such payments. |
2.04 | At Mortgagee's request, Mortgagor shall pay monthly, in addition to any other payment due upon the Obligations, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the estimated yearly taxes, assessments and other charges which may be levied against the Collateral. Such funds shall be held by Mortgagee, without obligation to pay interest thereon and free of liens and claims of all other creditors of Mortgagor, to pay such taxes, assessments and charges when due, but only to the extent of such funds actually held by Mortgagee. Such funds shall not be, nor deemed to be, trust funds but may at any time be commingled with the general funds of Mortgagee. Such funds are pledged as additional security for the Obligations and may at any time be applied, at Mortgagee's option and without notice to Mortgagor, to the payment of the Obligations. If at any time the funds held by Mortgagee hereunder shall be less than the amount deemed necessary by Mortgagee to pay such taxes, assessments and charges when due, Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee, within five (5) days after notice from Mortgagee to Mortgagor requesting payment thereof, any amount necessary to make up the deficiency. |
3 |
2.05 | Mortgagor, at his own expense, shall keep the Collateral, other than intangible property, insured at all times against fire and all other casualties and contingencies as Mortgagee shall require, and by such insurance companies, in such amounts, in such form and substance, and with such coverages, endorsements, deductibles and expiration dates as are acceptable to Mortgagee, in its sole and exclusive discretion. Mortgagor shall deposit all such policies and/or certificates evidencing such coverages with Mortgagee on the binding thereof and shall deliver, at least thirty (30) days before the expiration, new policies and certificates for any coverage about to expire. All such insurance policies shall be first payable in case of loss to Mortgagee pursuant to standard mortgagee and loss payee clauses in favor of Mortgagee and shall provide that such policies shall not be cancelled or amended without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Mortgagee. In the event of any loss or damage to any of the Collateral, Mortgagor shall immediately notify Mortgagee and the insurer in writing. Mortgagor irrevocably authorizes and empowers Mortgagee as attorney in fact for Mortgagor, at Mortgagee's option and sole discretion, to settle and adjust any claim under such insurance polices, to appear and prosecute any action arising therefrom, and to collect and receive all proceeds thereof unless the casualty is under $50,000 in which case Mortgagor may settle without Mortgagee’s consent. Mortgagor further authorizes Mortgagee, at Mortgagee's option, to apply such proceeds to the Obligations or to make such proceeds available, upon such terms and conditions as Mortgagee shall determine, for the repair, restoration or replacement of Collateral. Mortgagor also authorizes and empowers Mortgagee, at Mortgagee's option, following any Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) under this Mortgage, to cancel or transfer any insurance policy and/or to retain unearned premiums for application to the Obligations. |
2.06 | Mortgagor shall (i) not commit or permit any physical waste of the Collateral; (ii) keep the Collateral in good operating order and condition at all times; (iii) restore or repair promptly, fully and in a good workmanlike manner the Collateral after any damage or loss thereto; (iv) comply at all times with all laws, ordinances, regulations, requirements and restrictions applicable to the Collateral; and (v) not remove any of the Related Personal Property (unless replaced with equal or better Related Personal Property) or demolish or materially alter any improvements to the Real Property. Mortgagee may, at Mortgagor's sole expense, make or cause to be made reasonable entries upon the Real Property for inspections of the Collateral during normal business hours or at any other time when necessary to protect and preserve any of the Collateral. |
4 |
2.07 | Mortgagor represents and warrants to Mortgagee that, except for the environmental conditions disclosed in writing to Mortgagee, no condition, activity or conduct exists on or in connection with any of the Collateral which violates any Environmental Law (as hereinafter defined), that no Hazardous Material (as hereinafter defined) was ever, or is now, stored or otherwise present (except in compliance with all Environmental Laws), or disposed of, upon the Real Property, that there has been no release, or threat of release, or any Hazardous Material upon, into or from any of the Collateral, or upon, into or from any premises adjacent to the Real Property, and that Mortgagor has not received any notice of any such release or threat of release or of any violation of any Environmental Law. Mortgagor shall at all times comply with all Environmental Laws, shall not store (except in the ordinary course of Mortgagor's business and in compliance with all Environmental Laws) or otherwise allow the presence of Hazardous Material upon, in or from any of the Collateral, and shall not dispose or release, or allow the disposal or release by any other party, of any Hazardous Materials upon, into or from any of the Collateral. Upon receiving notice or obtaining knowledge of the presence, release or threat of release of any Hazardous Material upon, into or from any of the Collateral, or of any violation of any Environmental Law, Mortgagor shall immediately notify Mortgagee in writing. Upon Mortgagee's request from time to time, Mortgagor shall, at Mortgagor's sole expense, take all such action, including, without limitation, the conducting of engineering tests and response actions, to confirm the absence of any Hazardous Material on, in, under or emanating from any of the Collateral, and if such Hazardous Material is present, to assess, contain and remove any such Hazardous Material. Mortgagor agrees, at Mortgagor's sole cost and expense, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Mortgagee from and against any and all losses, liabilities, and/or expenses incurred by Mortgagee and arising directly or indirectly from (i) the presence and/or release of Hazardous Material upon, into or from any of the Collateral; (ii) the violation of any Environmental Law; (iii) the Mortgagor's failure to comply with the terms and conditions of this section and/or Mortgagor's breach of any warranty or representation made herein; and/or (iv) Mortgagee's enforcement of this section, including, without limitation, the costs of assessment, containment and/or removal of any Hazardous Material from all or any portion of the Real Property or any surrounding area and/or the costs incurred to effectuate compliance with all Environmental Laws. For purposes of this section, "Environmental Law" or "Environmental Laws" shall mean all federal, state and local laws and regulations, or any judicial or administrative decree or decision, whether now existing or hereafter enacted, promulgated or issued with respect to the use, storage, disposal, transportation, release, or threat of release, of hazardous or toxic materials or substances, including, without limitation, the Massachusetts Oil and Hazardous Material Release Prevention Response Act (M.G.L. Chapter 21E), as from time to time amended, and "Hazardous Material" or substances constituting hazardous or toxic materials or substances under any Environmental Law, including, without limitation, asbestos, urea formaldehyde insulation, and leaded paint. All representations, warranties and indemnities set forth in this section shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations and shall not merge with any deed given by Mortgagor to Mortgagee in lieu of foreclosure or any deed under a power of sale. All such warranties, representations and indemnities shall, without notice to or further consent of Mortgagor, be assignable to Mortgagee's successors and assigns in any subsequent purchase of all or any portion of the Collateral by, through or under Mortgagee. |
5 |
2.08 | Mortgagor shall maintain at all times true and complete books and records reflecting the results of the operation of the Collateral and copies of all written contracts, leases and other instruments affecting the Collateral. All books and records, contracts, leases and other instruments shall be subject to examination and copying by Mortgagee at any reasonable time by Mortgagee and at Mortgagor's sole expense. |
2.09 | That, except as agreed to in writing by Mortgagee, the legal or beneficial ownership of the Real Property or any part thereof or interest therein will not at any time become vested in a person or entity other than Mortgagor. The foregoing shall include, without limitation, the sale, transfer, assignment or other conveyance of the Real Property, the sale, transfer or conveyance (whether voluntary or by operation of law) of legal, partnership, stock or beneficial interest in and/or of Mortgagor, or security interests, except this Mortgage, without, in each instance, prior written approval of Mortgagee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, transfers or issuance of shares of stock in Presidential Realty Corporation, the sole member of Borrower, shall not require the consent of Mortgagee. If the legal or beneficial ownership of the Real Property or any part thereof or any interest therein does become vested in a person or entity other than Mortgagor, Mortgagee may, without notice to Mortgagor, deal with such successor(s) in interest with reference to this Mortgage and the Obligations secured hereby, and in the same manner as with Mortgagor, without in any way vitiating or discharging Mortgagor's liability hereunder or under the Obligations secured hereby. |
2.10 | Mortgagor will from time to time do all such things and execute such documents as Mortgagee may reasonably request in order to carry into effect the provisions and intent of this Mortgage and to protect, perfect and maintain Mortgagee's interest in and to the Collateral. |
2.11 | Mortgagor is not in default under any terms or conditions of any lease or tenancy upon any of the Real Property and shall, at all times, perform all Obligations of Mortgagor under any and all such leases or tenancies, with all such leases and tenancies, and all rents and profits relating thereto, remaining assigned hereby to Mortgagee as additional security for the Obligations. Mortgagor will not, without Mortgagee's prior written consent, (i) accept any prepayment of any rent or other amount due upon any lease or tenancy, except for the current month's rent; (ii) modify, in any material respect, any provision of, or cancel or terminate, any lease or tenancy; or (iii) enter into any lease or tenancy. Upon Mortgagee's request, Mortgagor shall take all action necessary to obtain agreements (in form and substance satisfactory to Mortgagee) from each tenant subordinating such lease or tenancy to the lien of this Mortgage. |
6 |
2.12 | Mortgagor is, and shall at all times remain, in full compliance with all federal and state laws and regulations (including, without limitation, Section 15B of Chapter 186 of Massachusetts General Laws, as from time to time amended) governing security deposits and last month's rents relating to any lease or tenancy upon the Real Property. Mortgagor agrees, at Mortgagor's sole cost and expense, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Mortgagee from and against any and all losses, liabilities and/or expenses incurred by Mortgagee in connection with any failure by Mortgagor to comply fully with such laws and regulations. This indemnity shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations and/or any release of this Mortgage. |
2.13 | If any of the Collateral shall be damaged or taken through condemnation, or any conveyance in lieu thereof, Mortgagor authorizes Mortgagee, at Mortgagee's option, as irrevocable attorney in fact for Mortgagor, to commence, appear in and/or prosecute, in Mortgagor's or Mortgagee's name, any action or proceeding leading to such condemnation or other taking of the Collateral and to settle or compromise any claim in connection thereto. The proceeds of any award or claim for damages in connection with such condemnation or any other taking, or for conveyances in lieu of condemnation, are hereby assigned and shall be paid to Mortgagee to be applied, after deduction of Mortgagee's costs and expenses incurred in collecting such amounts, at Mortgagee's option, to the payment of the Obligations, whether or not then due, and/or to the restoration or repair of the Collateral, with the balance, if any, to Mortgagor. |
2.14 | If any portion of the Real Property shall constitute a unit in a condominium or planned unit development, Mortgagor shall at all times perform all of Mortgagor's obligations under the declaration, covenants and/or other constituent documents creating or governing such condominium or planned unit development, including, without limitation, all by-laws and regulations of the condominium or planned unit development. |
2.15 | If Mortgagor shall fail to perform any of the covenants or agreements contained in this Mortgage, Mortgagee may (in addition to any other right to remedy available to Mortgagee hereunder or otherwise) from time to time, and at Mortgagee's option and without obligation to do so, disburse such amounts and take such action as Mortgagee may deem necessary to effectuate compliance with Mortgagor's covenants and agreements herein, including, but not limited to, paying any taxes or insurance premiums, the payment of which is then due, satisfying any liens or encumbrances on any part of this Collateral, or entering upon the Real Property to make repairs or complete improvements. All amounts so expended or incurred by Mortgagee shall be included in the Obligations of Mortgagor to Mortgagee, shall be payable upon demand, and shall accrue interest at the highest rate applicable to any of the Obligations. |
7 |

3.01 | The term "Event of Default" as used in this Mortgage shall mean any one or more of the following conditions or events: (i) the failure of Mortgagor to pay any amount required to be paid under this Mortgage within ten (10) days of when due or the failure to pay when due any of the other Obligations after the expiration of any applicable grace period; (ii) the failure of Mortgagor to perform any term, covenant, obligation or agreement contained in this Mortgage or any other agreement with the Mortgagee, provided, however, in the event of any non-monetary default under this Mortgage which does not pose an imminent danger to any of the Collateral and provided such default is capable of being cured within thirty (30) days (as determined by the Mortgagee), the Mortgagor shall have thirty (30) days after written notice thereof to fully cure such default; (iii) the occurrence of any default under, or breach of, any term or condition of this or any other mortgage, note and/or security agreement, guaranty or any other agreement between the Mortgagee and the Mortgagor or any guarantors of the Mortgagor, after the expiration of any applicable grace or cure period; (iv) the Mortgagee’s determination that any representation made by the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee at any time was not true or accurate in any material respect when given; (v) the granting of any trust mortgage upon any assets of Mortgagor, the occurrence of any assignment for the benefit of Mortgagor's creditors, or the appointment of a custodian, trustee or receiver with respect to any assets of Mortgagor, or the filing of any petition by or against Mortgagor under the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 (as amended) or any other federal or state law by which Mortgagor is or may be relieved from its debts, provided however, the Mortgagor shall have forty-five (45) days to effect a final dismissal of any involuntary bankruptcy proceeding; (vi) the service of any process upon Mortgagee by which any funds of the Mortgagor being held by Mortgagee may be attached if not dismissed or fully bonded within 30 days; (vii) the attachment of any other assets of the Mortgagor, where such attachment is not released, terminated or fully bonded within thirty (30) days of the order authorizing it; (viii) the entry of any judgment against the Mortgagor which is not satisfied or appealed from within fifteen (15) days of its entry; (ix) the dissolution, termination of existence or liquidation of the Mortgagor; (x) the Real Property, in its entirety, shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or taken through condemnation or conveyance in lieu thereof; (xi) the occurrence of any event of default under any other permitted mortgage and/or security agreement (and/or any of the obligations secured thereby) encumbering any of the Collateral, after the expiration of an applicable cure or grace period; or (xii) the breach of the Statutory Condition herein contained. |
8 |
IV. | RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT |
4.01 | Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, any and all Obligations shall, at Mortgagee's option, become immediately due and payable without notice or demand, and the Mortgagee, with or without taking possession of the Collateral, may (i) collect all rents, payments in the nature of rents, or account receivables relating to the Collateral; (ii) sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Collateral in its then condition or following such preparation or processing as Mortgagee deems advisable; (iii) without assuming the obligations of Mortgagor thereunder, exercise the rights of Mortgagor under any contract, lease, permit, license or other beneficial right pertaining to any of the Collateral; (iv) either directly, by agent, or by appointment of receiver, and with or without bringing any action or proceeding, maintain, repair and/or preserve the Collateral, construct the improvements thereon, or otherwise make alterations thereto, and/or manage, lease or operate the Collateral on such terms as Mortgagee in its sole discretion deems proper and appropriate; (v) exercise the Statutory Power of Sale; (vi) foreclose any and all rights of Mortgagor in and to any of the Collateral; (vii) proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity or by other appropriate proceedings or remedy to collect the Obligations; (viii) require Mortgagor to assemble any or all of the Related Personal Property and make it available to Mortgagee, at Mortgagor's sole risk and expense, in a place or places determined by Mortgagee; (ix) take possession of any or all of the Collateral; and/or (x) exercise any other right or remedy of a mortgagee or secured party under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. |

4.03 | All rights and remedies of Mortgagee hereunder shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights and remedies available to Mortgagee at law or in equity. No indulgence, delay or omission by Mortgagee in exercising or enforcing any of its rights or remedies hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof on that occasion nor on any other occasion. No waiver of any Event of Default hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any other Event of Default hereunder, nor as a continuing waiver. |
4.04 | Any sale or other disposition of the Related Personal Property may be at public or private sale and upon such terms and in such manner as Mortgagee deems advisable. Mortgagee may conduct such sale or other disposition of the Related Personal Property upon the Real Property, in which event Mortgagee shall not be liable for any rent or charge for such use of the Real Property. Mortgagee may sell any of the Related Personal Property as part of the Real Property, or any portion or unit thereof, at the foreclosure sale or sales conducted pursuant hereto. Mortgagor waives any right to require marshalling of any of its assets in connection with any disposition conducted pursuant hereto, the single total price for the Collateral, or for such part thereof as is sold, may be accepted by Mortgagee with no obligation to distinguish between the application of proceeds amongst the real or personal property comprising the Collateral. If all or any portion of the Collateral is sold by Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall pay Mortgagee, on demand, an amount equal to one percent (1.00%) of the purchase price thereof, in addition to the Obligations and any other amounts due Mortgagee hereunder. The obligation of Mortgagor to pay such amounts shall be included in the Obligations and shall accrue interest at the highest rate applicable to any of the Obligations. |
9 |
4.05 | In the event Mortgagee, in the exercise of the Statutory Power of Sale contained herein, elects to sell the Collateral in parts or parcels, said sales may be held from time to time, and the power shall not be exhausted until all of the Collateral not previously sold shall have been sold and the Obligations paid in full. |

Mortgagee shall not be obligated to exercise such power, but if Mortgagee so elects to exercise it, Mortgagee shall not be accountable for more than it actually receives as a result of such exercise of power and shall not be responsible to Mortgagor, except for Mortgagee's willful misconduct and actual bad faith. All powers conferred upon Mortgagee by this Mortgage, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable until terminated by written instrument executed by Mortgagee. |
