1.02It 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.

II.REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

 

Mortgagor hereby further covenants, warrants and agrees with Mortgagee as follows:

 

2.01Mortgagor shall pay when due, and fully and promptly perform all of the provisions, agreements and covenants of, the Obligations.

 

2.02Mortgagor 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.

 

2.03Mortgagor 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.

 

2.04At 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.

2.05Mortgagor, 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.

 

2.06Mortgagor 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.

2.07Mortgagor 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
 

 

2.08Mortgagor 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.

 

2.09That, 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.

 

2.10Mortgagor 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.

 

2.11Mortgagor 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.

2.12Mortgagor 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.

 

2.13If 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.

 

2.14If 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.

 

2.15If 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.

4.03All 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.

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.

4.05In 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.
