TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the above granted and described Mortgaged Property unto and to the use and benefit of the Lender, and the successors and assigns of the Lender forever;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, these presents are upon the express condition that, if the Mortgagor shall pay to the Lender the Debt at the time and in the manner provided in the Note and this Mortgage and shall abide by and comply with each and every covenant and condition set forth herein and in the Note, these presents and the estate hereby granted shall cease, terminate and be void.
AND the Mortgagor represents and warrants to and covenants and agrees with the Lender, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as follows:

Any capitalized terms used and not defined in this Mortgage shall have the meaning set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
3. WARRANTY OF TITLE. The Mortgagor warrants that the Mortgagor has good title to the Mortgaged Property and has the right to mortgage, give, grant, bargain, sell, alienate, enfeoff, convey, confirm, pledge, assign and hypothecate the same and that the Mortgagor possesses an unencumbered fee estate in the Premises and the Improvements and that it owns the Mortgaged Property free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and charges whatsoever except for those exceptions shown in the title insurance policy insuring the lien of this Mortgage and are accepted by the Lender. The Mortgagor shall forever warrant, defend and preserve such title and the validity and the priority of the lien of this Mortgage and shall forever warrant to the Lender and defend the same against the claims of all persons whomsoever and execute, acknowledge, and deliver all such further documents or assurances, cause to be done all such further acts as may at any time hereafter be required by the Lender to protect fully the lien of this Mortgage and pay all costs related thereto. The Mortgagor represents and warrants that no Tenant (as defined below) of the Mortgaged Property and no other person has been granted an option to purchase or a right of first refusal to purchase with respect to the Mortgaged Property.
4. REPAIR. The Mortgagor shall keep all buildings, structures and other Improvements existing or to be constructed on the Premises from time to time, in good and safe condition and repair. The Mortgagor shall promptly repair, restore, replace or rebuild any part of the Mortgaged Property which may be destroyed by any casualty, or become damaged, worn or dilapidated, or which may be affected by any condemnation proceeding and shall complete and pay for any structure at any time in the process of construction or repair on the Premises. The Improvements and the Equipment shall not be removed, demolished or materially altered. All alterations, replacements, renewals or additions made pursuant to this Section shall automatically become and constitute a part of the Mortgaged Property and shall be covered by the lien of this Mortgage. The Mortgagor shall not do, and shall not permit to be done, any act which may in any way impair or adversely affect the Lender’s rights hereunder.
5. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. The Mortgagor shall promptly comply with, and maintain the Mortgaged Property in compliance with, all laws, orders, ordinances and requirements of all governmental authorities affecting the Mortgaged Property or the use thereof. Mortgagor shall not initiate, join in, acquiesce in or consent to any change in any private restrictive covenant, zoning law or other public or private restriction, limiting or defining the uses which may be made of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof. If under applicable zoning provisions, the use of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property is or shall become a nonconforming use, Mortgagor shall not cause or permit such nonconforming use to be discontinued without the express written consent of the Lender.
6. PAYMENT OF IMPOSITIONS. Subject to Section 10 hereof, the Mortgagor shall pay promptly all taxes, assessments, water charges, sewer rents, ground rents, maintenance charges other governmental impositions, and other charges (collectively, “Impositions”) now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof as the same become due and payable. The Mortgagor shall deliver to the Lender, within fifteen (15) days after the due date of each such Imposition, evidence satisfactory to the Lender that the Impositions have been so paid or are not then delinquent. Mortgagor shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged any lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a lien or charge against the Mortgaged Property, and shall promptly pay for all utility services provided to the Mortgaged Property. The Mortgagor shall promptly furnish to the Lender receipts showing payments for all such utility services.
7. INSURANCE.
(a) The Mortgagor hereby covenants to obtain and maintain at all times, throughout the term of this Mortgage, insurance covering the Mortgaged Property, in such amounts, on such forms and written by such companies, as set forth in the Purchase Agreement and as currently insured by the Mortgagor. At the request of the Lender, the Mortgagor shall deliver all original insurance policies to the Lender. The Mortgagor shall not take out any separate or additional insurance with respect to the Mortgaged Property which is contributing in the event of loss, unless it is properly compatible with all of the requirements of this Paragraph.
(b) Subject to Section 10 hereof, the Mortgagor shall pay the premiums for such insurance (the “Insurance Premiums”) as the same shall become due and payable. Not later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of each of the Policies, the Mortgagor shall deliver to the Lender evidence satisfactory to the Lender of the renewal of each of the Policies.
(c) If the Mortgaged Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty, the Mortgagor shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Lender. If and to the extent that the proceeds of such fire or casualty are anticipated to not exceed five percent (5%) of the maximum principal amount of the Loan (the “Casualty Threshold”), and no Event of Default is then continuing under the Loan Documents, Mortgagor shall have the right to retain the proceeds of insurance and to settle, adjust or compromise any claim for loss, damage or destruction under any Policy without Mortgagee’s prior consent. If the proceeds of such fire or casualty are anticipated to exceed the Casualty Threshold, then the Mortgagor shall replace the Mortgaged Property with other property having a market value equal to or higher than the Mortgaged Property.
(d) Upon a foreclosure sale pursuant to this Mortgage or any other transfer of title to the Mortgaged Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of Debt, all right, title and interest of the Mortgagor in and to all Policies shall pass to the Lender (to the extent of any deficiency in recovery on the Debt, whether or not a deficiency judgment shall have been sought or recovered or denied), for the benefit of the Secured Parties, with the balance to the purchaser or transferee of the Mortgaged Property.
8. DAMAGE AND RESTORATION.
(a) If all or any part of the Mortgaged Property shall be damaged or destroyed, or if title to or the temporary use of the whole or any part of the Mortgaged Property shall be taken or condemned by a governmental authority for any public use or purpose, there shall be no abatement or reduction in the amounts payable by the Mortgagor hereunder or under the Note, and the Mortgagor shall continue to be obligated to make such payments.
(b) Nothing in this Section 8 shall relieve the Mortgagor of its duty to repair, restore, rebuild or replace the Mortgaged Property following damage or destruction by fire or other casualty in the event that no or inadequate proceeds of insurance are available to defray the cost of such repairing, restoring, rebuilding or replacement.
9. CONDEMNATION. Immediately upon obtaining knowledge of the institution of any actual or threatened proceedings for the condemnation of the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof, the Mortgagor shall notify the Lender of the pendency of such proceedings. The Mortgagor shall deliver to the Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. The Lender may participate, at its option, in any such proceedings and the Mortgagor shall from time to time deliver to the Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. The Mortgagor shall, at its sole cost and expense, diligently prosecute any such proceeding and shall consult with the Lender, its attorneys and experts and cooperate with it in any defense of any such proceedings. The Mortgagor shall not, without the Lender’s prior express written consent, enter into any agreement for the taking or conveyance in lieu thereof of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, with anyone authorized to acquire the same by eminent domain condemnation or like power or proceeding. Upon the occurrence of any condemnation or taking or agreement in lieu thereof with respect to a portion of the Mortgaged Property, the Lender shall have the option, in its sole discretion, of paying or applying all or any part of the condemnation proceeds: (a) to reduce any amounts due under the Note; or (b) to the repair, restoration, replacement and rebuilding of the Mortgaged Property. Nothing in this Section 9 shall relieve the Mortgagor of its duty to repair, restore, rebuild or replace the Mortgaged Property following partial condemnation in the event that no or inadequate condemnation awards are available to defray the cost of such repairing, restoring, rebuilding or replacement.
10. ESCROW FUND. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, if required by the Lender from time to time, together with the regular monthly payments due to the Lender under the Note, the Mortgagor shall pay to the Lender on the first day of each calendar month: (a) one-twelfth (1/12th) of an amount which would be sufficient to pay the Impositions payable, or which the Lender estimates will become payable within the next ensuing twelve (12) months; and (b) one-twelfth (1/12th) of an amount which would be sufficient to pay the Insurance Premiums due for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof (said amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the “Escrow Fund”.) The Mortgagor hereby pledges to the Lender, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in the Escrow Fund as additional security for the payment of the Debt. The Lender shall apply the Escrow Fund to payments of Impositions and Insurance Premiums required to be made by the Mortgagor pursuant to Sections 6 and 7 of this Mortgage. If the amount of the Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Impositions and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Sections 6 and 7 hereof, the Lender shall, in its discretion, return any excess to the Mortgagor or credit the excess against future payments to be made to the Escrow Fund. In allocating such excess, the Lender may deal with the person shown on the Lender’s records as the owner of the Mortgaged Property. If the Escrow Fund is not sufficient to pay the items set forth in (a) and (b) above, the Mortgagor shall promptly pay to the Lender, upon demand, an amount which the Lender shall estimate as sufficient to make up the deficiency. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, the Lender may apply any sums then present in the Escrow Fund to the payment of the following items in any order, in its sole discretion:
| (iii) | Interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Note; |
| (iv) | All other sums payable to the Lender pursuant to the Note, this Mortgage or otherwise, including, without limitation, advances made by the Lender pursuant to the terms of this Mortgage. |
Until expended or applied as above provided, the amounts in the Escrow Fund shall constitute additional security for the Debt. The Escrow Fund shall not constitute a trust fund and may be commingled with other monies held by the Lender. No earnings or interest on the Escrow Fund shall be payable to the Mortgagor.
11. NO ADDITIONAL LIENS ON FIXTURES. The Mortgagor shall not remove or suffer to be removed from the Mortgaged Property any Fixtures owned by the Mortgagor or in the future to be incorporated into, installed in, annexed or affixed to the Mortgaged Property (unless such Fixtures have been replaced with similar Fixtures of equal or greater utility and value); nor will the Mortgagor execute or cause to be executed any security interest upon any such Fixtures, additions to, substitutions or replacements thereof, or upon any Fixtures in the future to be installed in, annexed or affixed to the Mortgaged Property.
12. SECURITY AGREEMENT. This Mortgage constitutes both a real property mortgage and a “security agreement”, within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code, and the Mortgaged Property includes both real and personal property and all other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of the Mortgagor in the Mortgaged Property. By executing and delivering this Mortgage, the Mortgagor has granted to the Lender, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as security for the Debt, a security interest in the Mortgaged Property. If an Event of Default occurs, the Lender, in addition to any other rights and remedies which it may have, shall have and may exercise immediately and without demand, any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right to take possession of the Equipment or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as the Lender may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Equipment. Upon request or demand of the Lender, the Mortgagor shall at its expense assemble the Equipment and make it available to the Lender at a convenient place acceptable to the Lender. The Mortgagor shall pay to the Lender on demand any and all expenses, including legal expenses and attorneys’ fees (including in-house counsel fees), incurred or paid by the Lender in protecting its and other Secured Parties’ interest in the Mortgaged Property and in enforcing its and other Secured Parties’ rights under this Mortgage with respect to the Mortgaged Property. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by the Lender with respect to the personal property comprising the Mortgaged Property which is sent to the Mortgagor in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) days prior to such action, shall constitute reasonable notice to the Mortgagor. The proceeds of any disposition of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, may be applied by the Lender to the payment of the Debt as provided in the Purchase Agreement.
Without in any way limiting the generality of the immediately preceding paragraph or of the definition of Mortgaged Property, this Mortgage constitutes a fixture filing under Section 9-502 of the Uniform Commercial Code. For such purpose: (a) the “debtor” is Mortgagor and its address is the address given for it in the initial paragraph of this Mortgage; (b) the “secured party” is the Lender, and its address for the purpose of obtaining information is the address given for it in the initial paragraph of this Mortgage; (c) the real estate to which the Fixtures are or are to become attached is the Mortgagor’s interest in the Premises described on SCHEDULE A hereto; and (d) the record owner of such real estate is the Mortgagor.
13. NO FURTHER ENCUMBRANCES. At no time throughout the term of this Mortgage shall the Mortgagor create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any mortgage, lien, security interest, encumbrance, attachment, levy, distraint or other judicial process of any kind on or with respect to any portion of the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein.
14. TRANSFER OR ENCUMBRANCE OF THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY. The Mortgagor acknowledges that the identity of the Mortgagor and the continuous ownership by the Mortgagor of the Mortgaged Property is a material inducement to the Lender of the extension of the Loan evidenced by the Note. Except as may be otherwise allowed by the Loan Documents, without the prior written consent of the Lender, on behalf of the Secured Parties, neither: (a) the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or interest therein; nor (b) if the Mortgagor is a corporation, any capital stock or other equity security in Mortgagor; nor (c) if the Mortgagor is a partnership or limited partnership, any general limited partnership interest in the Mortgagor or any capital stock or other equity security in any corporate partner comprising the Mortgagor, nor (d) if the Mortgagor is a limited liability company, any member’s interest in the Mortgagor, shall in any manner be sold, conveyed, assigned, encumbered, hypothecated, issued, redeemed or otherwise transferred. The provisions of this Section shall apply to each and every such sale, conveyance, assignment, encumbrance, hypothecation, issuance, redemption and other transfer, regardless of whether or not the Lender, on behalf of the Secured Parties, has consented to, or waived by its action or inaction its rights hereunder with respect to, any such previous sale, conveyance, assignment, encumbrance, hypothecation, issuance, redemption and other transfer. The Lender shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default in order to declare the Debt immediately due and payable upon a violation of this Section.
15. LEASES AND RENTS.
(a) The Mortgagor hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns to the Lender, the Leases, the Rents, and, upon an Event of Default hereunder, the right to enter into the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of enforcing the Lender’s interest in the Leases and Rents (such assignment constituting a present, absolute assignment of the Leases and the Rents and not merely the passing of a security interest therein). Nevertheless, subject to the terms of this Section 15, the Lender grants to the Mortgagor a revocable license to collect the Rents. The Mortgagor shall hold the Rents, as well as the right and license to receive the same, as a trust fund to be applied, and the Mortgagor hereby covenants to so apply same: first, to the payment of any sums the non-payment of which might result in the imposition of criminal penalties or criminal liability upon the Mortgagor; second, to the payment of taxes and other charges in connection with the Premises before penalty or interest are due thereon; third, to the cost of such insurance and of such maintenance and repairs as is required by the terms of this Mortgage; fourth, to satisfaction of all obligations under the Leases; and, fifth, to the payment of interest and principal becoming due pursuant to the Note and this Mortgage before using any part of the same for any other purposes.
(b) Upon or at any time after an Event of Default, the license granted herein to the Mortgagor shall be automatically revoked, and the Lender may (i) enter upon the Mortgaged Property, and (with or without such entry) collect, retain and apply the Rents toward payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as the Lender in its discretion shall deem proper; (ii) exercise any of the rights and remedies granted to Lender under the Assignment of Leases and Rents dated as of the date hereof by and between the Mortgagor and the Lender (the “Assignment”); and (iii) exercise any of the rights and remedies otherwise granted to the Lender herein. Any Rents received by the Mortgagor after an Event of Default shall be held in trust and shall not be commingled with the funds and property of the Mortgagor, but shall be promptly paid over to the Lender.
(c) The Mortgagor shall furnish the Lender with executed copies or certified true copies of all Leases, together with all guaranties and other documents executed in connection with such Lease, upon execution of any Lease, and at any other time if requested by the Lender. If any new Lease is the result of a change in tenancy, the Mortgagor shall deliver to the Lender a copy of such new Lease within one hundred eighty (180) days prior to expiration of the current Lease. Furthermore, Mortgagor shall promptly obtain and deliver to the Lender, upon the Lender’s request, a certificate of estoppel of any Tenant under any Lease.
(d) The Mortgagor shall furnish the Lender with executed copies of all extensions and/or renewals of each Lease within one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of such Lease.
(e) The Mortgagor shall not, without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Lender in each such instance:
(i) mortgage, convey or grant a lien subordinate to this Mortgage on the Mortgaged Property, or on any or all of the Improvements, Equipment or appurtenances of which it is comprised;
(ii) collect any Rents for a period of more than one (1) month in advance other than the security deposited in connection with a Lease;
(iii) further pledge, transfer, mortgage or otherwise encumber or assign the Leases and Rents;
(iv) lease voluntarily the whole or any part of the Mortgaged Property to the United States of America, or any of its agencies, or to any person or entity having diplomatic immunity;
(v) waive, excuse, condone, discount, set-off, compromise, cancel, terminate or in any manner release or discharge any tenant under any Lease (a “Tenant”) of and from any obligations, covenants, conditions and agreements by such Tenant to be kept, observed and performed, including the obligation to pay the Rents thereunder, in the manner and at the place and time specified therein;
(vi) cancel, terminate or consent to any surrender of any Lease, except as may be provided in the Lease, or commence an action of ejectment or any summary proceedings for dispossession of a Tenant or execute any right to recapture, as provided in any Lease;
(vii) execute or permit to exist any Lease except for occupancy by the Tenant thereunder and pursuant to a written Lease in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender and with a Tenant satisfactory to the Lender;
(viii) enter into, modify, amend, extend or renew any Lease, or permit the Tenant under any Lease to assign the tenancy thereunder;
(ix) relocate any Tenant nor consent to any modification of the express purposes for which such space has been leased, nor consent to any subletting of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property or to an assignment of any Lease or a further subletting of any sublease, except as may be provided in any Lease;
(x) consent or agree to accept a subordination of any Lease to any mortgage or other encumbrance (other than this Mortgage) now or hereafter affecting the Mortgaged Property; or
(xi) create or permit to exist any easement or restrictive covenant affecting the Mortgaged Property.
Unless the Lender consents thereto in advance and in writing, any act prohibited by this subsection shall be void. Consent to one such transaction shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the right to require such consent to future or successive transactions.
(f) All Leases shall provide that they are subordinate to this Mortgage and that the Tenant agrees to attorn to the Lender. All Leases shall also provide that the Tenant thereunder must, at its own cost and expense, comply with ISRA (as such term is hereinafter defined).
(g) The Mortgagor shall: (i) observe and perform all the obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases and shall not do or permit to be done anything to impair the value of the Leases as security for the Debt; (ii) promptly send copies to the Lender of all notices of default which the Mortgagor shall send and/or receive under the Leases and all notices of the commencement of summary proceedings which the Mortgagor brings against any Tenant under any Lease; (iii) notify and direct in writing each present or future Tenant that any deposit delivered to the Mortgagor has been retained by the Mortgagor or assigned and delivered to the Lender, as the case may be; (iv) enforce all of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the lessee thereunder to be observed or performed (other than immaterial obligations that it would not be prudent to enforce); (v) appear in and defend any action or proceeding arising under, occurring out of or in any manner connected with the Leases or the obligations, duties or liability of Mortgagor and any Tenant thereunder and, upon request of Lender, to do so in the name of and on behalf of the Lender at Mortgagor’s expense; (vi) maintain all security deposits under the Leases to be held in an account at the Lender; and (vii) execute and deliver at the request of the Lender all such further assurances, confirmations and assignments in connection with the Mortgaged Property as the Lender shall from time to time require.

(f) In the event that there shall be filed a lien against the Mortgaged Property by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of N.J.S.A. 58:10-23.11f, as a result of the chief executive of the New Jersey Spill Compensation Fund having expended monies from said fund to pay for Damages, and/or “Cleanup and Removal Costs”, as such term is defined in the Spill Compensation and Control Act, arising from an intentional or unintentional action or omission of Mortgagor, resulting in the Release of Hazardous Substances, into waters of the State of New Jersey or onto lands from which it might flow or drain into said waters or into waters, then Mortgagor shall, within thirty (30) days from the date that Mortgagor is given notice that the lien has been placed against the Mortgaged Property or within such shorter period of time in the event that the State of New Jersey has commenced steps to cause the Mortgaged Property to be sold pursuant to the lien, either (i) pay the claim and remove the lien from the Mortgaged Property; or (ii) furnish (1) a bond satisfactory to the Title Insurance Company and the Lender in the amount of the claim out of which the lien arises, (2) a cash deposit in the amount of the claim out which the lien arises, or (3) other security reasonably satisfactory to the Lender in an amount sufficient to discharge the claim out of which the lien arises.
(g) Mortgagor’s use and any Tenant’s use of the Mortgaged Property during the term of the Loan obligation will not involve the generation, manufacture, refining, transport, treatment, storage, handling, or disposing of “Hazardous Waste” or “Hazardous Substances” as those terms are defined in ISRA or the Spill Compensation and Control Act except typical maintenance and cleaning products. In the event the Mortgagor or any Tenant shall breach this Section or in any way conduct its operations of the Mortgaged Property or permit the Mortgaged Property to be used or maintained so as to subject the Mortgagor or any Tenant of the Mortgaged Property to a claim or violation, the Mortgagor shall immediately remedy and fully cure such condition at its own cost and expense or cause such condition to be cured and shall indemnify and save harmless the Lender from any and all damages, remedial orders, judgment decrees, and all costs and expenses related thereto or arising therefrom, including but not limited to attorney’s and consultants’ fees, cleanup, removal and restoration costs, and rental losses. The Mortgagor shall cause all Tenants to comply with ISRA. To the extent that the termination of any lease or the closing of any operation at the Premises is governed under ISRA, Mortgagor shall notify the Lender of such termination or closing and shall provide evidence or compliance by Tenants and/or operators with the provisions of ISRA.
17. INDEMNIFICATION. The Mortgagor shall indemnify and save harmless the Lender and any entity which “controls” the Lender within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or is under common control with the Lender, and any member, officer, director, official, agent, employee or attorney of the Lender, and their respective heirs, administrators, executors, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of actions, losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and expenses), imposed upon or incurred by or suffered by any of them and caused by, relating to, arising out of, resulting from, or in any way connected with the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated therein (unless determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused solely by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties), in connection with any transaction or matter in any way connected with the Mortgaged Property or the Loan (collectively, “Indemnified Liabilities”). Without in anyway whatsoever limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, the Mortgagor shall indemnify and save harmless the Lender from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities arising out of or relating to environmental matters, including: (i) the presence, Release, or threatened Release of any Hazardous Substances on, from or affecting the Mortgaged Property; (ii) any personal injury (including death) or property damage (real or personal) arising out of or relating to such Hazardous Substances; (iii) any lawsuit brought or threatened, settlement reached, or government order relating to such Hazardous Substances; or (iv) any violation of laws, orders, regulations, requirements or demands of Governmental Authorities, which are based upon or any way related to such Hazardous Substances, including (without limitation) attorney and consultant fees, investigation and laboratory fees, court costs and litigation expenses (v) disputes with any architect, general contractor, subcontractor, material man or supplier, or on account of any act or omission to act by the Lender in connection with the Mortgaged Premises; (vi) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in information submitted to the Lender by the Mortgagor or the omission of any material fact necessary to be stated therein in order to make such statement not misleading or incomplete when made; (vii) the failure of the Mortgagor to perform any obligations herein required to be performed by the Mortgagor; and (viii) the ownership, construction, occupancy, operation, use or maintenance of the Mortgaged Property. Any amounts payable to the Lender by reason of the application of this section shall be secured by this Mortgage and shall become immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note) from the date incurred until paid in full. The obligations of Mortgagor under this paragraph shall survive any termination, satisfaction or assignment of this Mortgage and any judgment of foreclosure, foreclosure sale, or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure.
In case any action shall be brought against the Lender or any other Indemnified Party in respect to which indemnity may be sought against the Mortgagor, the Lender or such other Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Mortgagor and the Mortgagor shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel selected by the Mortgagor and satisfactory to the Lender, the payment of all costs and expenses and the right to negotiate and consent to settlement. The failure of the Lender to so notify the Mortgagor shall not relieve the Mortgagor of any liability it may have under the foregoing indemnification provisions or from any liability which it may otherwise have to the Lender or any of the other Indemnified Parties. The Lender shall have the right, at its sole option, to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, all at the Mortgagor’s sole cost and expense. The Mortgagor shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its consent, but if settled with the Mortgagor’s consent, or if there be a final judgment for the claimant in any such action, the Mortgagor agrees to indemnify and save harmless the Lender from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.
18. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of an Event of Default under the Purchase Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default (“Event of Default”) under this Mortgage.
19. REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Lender may (in addition to any rights or remedies available to it hereunder or under the Note or any other of the Loan Documents or otherwise available at law or in equity), on behalf of the Secured Parties, take such action personally or by its agents or attorneys, with or without entry, and without notice, demand, presentment or protest (each and all of which are hereby waived), as it deems necessary or advisable to protect and enforce its and any other Secured Parties’ rights and remedies against the Mortgagor and in and to the Mortgaged Property, including the following actions, which may be pursued concurrently or otherwise, at such times and in such order as the Lender may determine, in its sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise affecting its other rights or remedies:

(b) institute a proceeding or proceedings, for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Mortgage;
(c) sell the Mortgaged Property, and all estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand of the Mortgagor therein, and all rights of redemption thereof, at one or more sales, as an entirety or in parcels, with such elements of real and personal property, and at such time and place and upon such terms, as it may deem expedient, or as may be required by applicable law, and in the event of a sale of less than all of the Mortgaged Property, this Mortgage shall continue as a lien and security interest on the remaining portion of the Mortgaged Property;
(d) institute an action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity for the enforcement of the Note, this Mortgage or any other instrument or agreement executed in connection herewith, including (without limitation) for the specific performance of any of the provisions contained herein or therein;

(f) enter upon the Premises, and exclude Mortgagor and its agents and servants wholly therefrom, without liability for trespass, damages or otherwise, and take possession of all books, records and accounts relating thereto and all other Mortgaged Property, and Mortgagor agrees to surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property and of such books, records and accounts to the Lender on demand; and having and holding the same the Lender may use, operate, manage, preserve, control and otherwise deal therewith and conduct the business thereof, without interference from the Mortgagor; and upon each such entry and from time to time thereafter the Lender may, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, at the expense of the Mortgagor and the Mortgaged Property, without interference by the Mortgagor and as the Lender may deem advisable: (i) insure or reinsure the Mortgaged Property; (ii) make all necessary or proper repairs, renewals, replacements, alterations, additions, betterments and improvements thereto and thereon; and (iii) in every such case in connection with the foregoing have the right to exercise all rights and powers of the Mortgagor with respect to the Mortgaged Property, either in the Mortgagor’s name or otherwise. For the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this subsection, the Mortgagor hereby constitutes and appoints the Lender the true and lawful attorney- in-fact of the Mortgagor to do and perform from time to time, any and all actions necessary and incidental to such purpose and does by these presents ratify and confirm any and all actions of said attorney-in-fact in and with respect to the Mortgaged Property (such appointment being coupled with an interest and irrevocable);
(g) with or without the entrance upon the Premises, collect, receive, sue for and recover in its own name all Rents and cash collateral derived from the Mortgaged Property; and after deducting therefrom all costs, expenses and liabilities of every character incurred by the Lender in collecting the same and in using, operating, managing, preserving and controlling the Mortgaged Property, and otherwise in exercising the Lender’s rights under subsection (f) of this Section, including all amounts necessary to pay Impositions, Insurance Premiums and other charges in connection with the Premises, as well as compensation for the services of the Lender and its attorneys, agents and employees, apply the monies arising as aforesaid to the unpaid balance of the Note and any other portion of the Debt remaining unpaid;

In the event that the Lender shall exercise any of the rights or remedies set forth in subsections (f) and (g) of this Section, the Lender shall not be deemed to have entered upon or taken possession of the Mortgaged Property except upon the exercise of its option to do so, evidenced by its demand and overt act for such purpose, nor shall it be deemed a mortgagee in possession by reason of such entry or taking possession. The Lender shall not be liable to account for any action taken pursuant to any such exercise other than for Rents actually received by the Lender, nor liable for any loss sustained by the Mortgagor resulting from any failure to let the Premises, or from any other act or omission of the Lender.
20. EXPENSES. In any proceeding to foreclose this Mortgage or enforce any other remedy of the Lender, the Mortgagor shall pay (and there shall be allowed and included as an addition to and a part of the Debt in the decree for sale or other judgment or decree) all expenditures and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with the exercise by the Lender of any of its rights and remedies, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, and the same shall be part of the Debt and shall be secured by this Mortgage.
21. RIGHT TO REMEDY DEFAULTS, ADVANCES. If the Mortgagor fails to make any payment or to perform any act required under this Mortgage or the Loan Documents, the Lender may, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, but without any obligation to do so, and without releasing the Mortgagor from any obligation hereunder, make such payment or perform such act in such manner and to such extent as the Lender may deem necessary or advisable, including, without limitation, the procurement of new appraisals of the Mortgaged Property, and structural or environmental reports on the Mortgaged Property. To that end, the Lender is authorized to make advances, to enter upon the Mortgaged Property and to appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its and any other Secured Parties’ interest in the Mortgaged Property. All costs and expenses, (including, without limitation, attorneys’ and consultants’ fees), incurred and paid by the Lender in the exercise of any such rights shall be paid by the Mortgagor to the Lender upon demand, together with interest at the Default Rate computed from the date that any such sum is advanced to the date of payment. All such sums shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable by the Mortgagor to the Lender upon demand and shall be secured by this Mortgage. The provisions of this Section shall be effective both before and after any entry of a judgment of foreclosure in respect of this Mortgage.
22. INTEREST AFTER JUDGMENT. The outstanding principal portion of the Debt shall bear interest at the rate provided in the Note or in this Mortgage (as applicable) after, as well as before, the entry of judgment on the Note or for the foreclosure of this Mortgage, and the Mortgagor acknowledges and agrees that the lien of this Mortgage fully secures all such interest. The Mortgagor consents and agrees that any such judgment shall provide for interest from and after the entry of the judgment, at the Default Rate.
23. RIGHT OF ENTRY. The Lender and its agents shall have the right to enter and inspect the Mortgaged Property at all reasonable times.
24. USE AND OCCUPANCY. In addition to the rights which the Lender may have herein, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Lender, at its option, may require the Mortgagor to pay monthly in advance to the Lender, or any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupancy of such part of the Mortgaged Property as may be occupied by the Mortgagor or may require the Mortgagor to vacate and surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property to the Lender or to such receiver and, in default thereof, the Mortgagor may be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise.
25. ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS. The Lender, on behalf of the Secured Parties, has the right to appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Mortgaged Property and to bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of the Mortgagor, which the Lender, in its sole discretion, decides should be brought to protect its and any Secured Parties’ interest in the Mortgaged Property.
26. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. THE MORTGAGOR AND THE LENDER (BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF) EACH HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY HERETO AGAINST THE OTHER IN ANY MATTERS WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS MORTGAGE, THE NOTE, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE DEBT.
27. RECOVERY OF SUMS REQUIRED TO BE PAID. Upon an Event of Default, the Lender, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall have the right from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums which constitute a part of the Debt as the same become due, without regard to whether or not the balance of the Debt shall be due, and without prejudice to the right of the Lender thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action, for a default or defaults by the Mortgagor existing at the time such earlier action was commenced.

This Mortgage, the Note and the Debt are subject to “modification” (as such term is defined in Chapter 353 of the Public Laws of 1985, N.J.S.A. 46:9-8.1 et seq.), and the priority of the lien of this Mortgage with respect to any and all modifications (as so defined) shall relate back to and remain as it was at time of the recording of this Mortgage (as if such modification were originally included in this Mortgage or as if the modification occurred at the time of the recording of this Mortgage), as provided in such statute.
30. DOCUMENTARY STAMPS. If at any time the United States of America, any State thereof or any subdivision of any such State shall require revenue or other stamps to be affixed to the Note or this Mortgage, or impose any other tax or charge on the same, the Mortgagor shall pay for the same, with interest and penalties thereon, if any.
31. USURY LAWS. This Mortgage and the Note are subject to the express limitation that at no time shall the Mortgagor be obligated or required to pay interest on the Debt at a rate which could subject the holder of the Note to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum interest rate which the Lender is permitted by applicable law (Federal or State, whichever is more favorable to the Lender) to collect or receive. If by the terms of this Mortgage or the Note, the Mortgagor is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the Debt at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the rate of interest under the same shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and the interest payable shall be computed at such maximum rate and all prior interest payments in excess of such maximum rate shall be applied and shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of the principal balance of the Debt.
32. PERFORMANCE OF OTHER AGREEMENTS. The Mortgagor shall observe and perform each and every term to be observed or performed by the Mortgagor pursuant to the terms of any agreement or recorded instrument affecting or pertaining to the Mortgaged Property.
33. FURTHER ACTS, ETC.

The Mortgagor on demand, shall execute and deliver and hereby authorizes the Lender to execute in the name of the Mortgagor one or more financing statements or other instruments, to evidence more effectively the security interest of the Lender and any other Secured Parties in the Mortgaged Property. The Mortgagor grants to the Lender, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest for the purpose of exercising and perfecting any and all rights and remedies available to the Lender at law and in equity.

49. LOST OR DAMAGED NOTE. Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of the Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Note or any other related document that is not of public record, the Mortgagor will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement note or other related document in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise in like tenor.
50. COUNTERPARTS. This Mortgage may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
51. STATE-SPECIFIC PROVISIONS.
(a) Principles of Construction. In the event of any inconsistencies between the terms and conditions of this Article 53 and the terms and conditions of this Mortgage, the terms and conditions of this Article 53 shall control and be binding.
(b) Certain Waivers. Mortgagor hereby waives and releases all benefit that might accrue to Mortgagor by virtue of any present or future law exempting the Mortgaged Property, or any part of the proceeds arising from any sale thereof, from attachment, levy or sale on execution, or providing for any stay of execution, exemption from civil process or extension of time for payment, or any right of marshalling in the event of any sale hereunder of the Mortgaged Property, and, unless specifically required herein or under the Loan Documents, all notices of Mortgagor’s default or of Mortgagee’s election to exercise, or Mortgagee’s actual exercise of any option under this Mortgage or any other Loan Documents. Mortgagor waives all rights or defenses arising by reason of any “one action” or “anti-deficiency” law, or any other law which may prevent Mortgagee from bringing any action against Mortgagor, including a claim for deficiency to the extent Mortgagee is otherwise entitled to a claim for deficiency, before or after Mortgagee’s commencement or completion of any foreclosure action or any other action to exercise its remedies hereunder or otherwise available at a law or in equity.
(c) Future Advances. This Mortgage is given for the purpose of creating a lien on real property in order to secure not only existing indebtedness, but also future advances, whether such advances are obligatory or to be made at the option of Mortgagee, or otherwise, and whether made before or after default or maturity or other similar events, to the same extent as if such future advances were made on the date of the execution hereof, although there may be no advance made at the time of the execution hereof and although there may be no indebtedness outstanding at the time any advance is made. The types of future advances secured by and having priority under this Mortgage shall include, without limitation, (i) advances and readvances of principal under the Note or other Loan Documents and (ii) other than as provided for in the Loan Documents, disbursements and other advances for the payment of taxes, assessments, maintenance charges, insurance premiums or costs relating to the Mortgaged Property, for the discharge of liens having priority over the lien of this Mortgage, for the curing of waste of the Mortgaged Property and for the payment of service charges and expenses incurred by reason of default and including late charges, attorney’s fees and court costs, together with interest thereon. The lien of this Mortgage, as to third persons with or without actual knowledge thereof, shall be valid as to all such indebtedness and future advances, from the date of recordation, to the extent permitted by the laws of the state in which the Mortgaged Property is situated. The total amount of the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage may decrease or increase from time to time, but the total unpaid principal balance at any one time shall not exceed the maximum principal amount of the Obligations.
(d) Loan Subject to Modification. This Mortgage secures a loan which by its terms is subject to modification as defined in N.J.S.A. 46:9-8.1.
(e) True and Correct Copy. MORTGAGOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT MORTGAGOR HAS RECEIVED, WITHOUT CHARGE, A TRUE AND CORRECT COPY OF THIS MORTGAGE.
(f) Continuing Enforcement of Mortgage. If, after receipt of any payment of all or any part of the Debt, Mortgagee is compelled under the Loan Documents or pursuant to a judgment to surrender such payment to any person or entity for any reason (including, without limitation, a determination that such payment is void or voidable as a preference or fraudulent conveyance or a diversion of trust funds), then this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect, and Mortgagor shall be liable for, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Mortgagee with respect to the full amount so surrendered. The provisions of this Section 18.6 shall survive the cancellation or discharge of this Mortgage and shall remain effective notwithstanding the payment of the Debt, the cancellation of the Note, the release of any security interest, lien or encumbrance securing the Debt or any other action which Mortgagee may have taken in reliance upon its receipt of such payment. Any cancellation, release or other such action by Mortgagee shall be deemed to have been conditioned upon any payment of the Debt having become final and irrevocable.
(g) No Merger. There shall be no merger of the interest or estate created by this Mortgage with any other interest or estate in the Mortgaged Property at any time held by or for the benefit of Mortgagee or any subsidiary or affiliate in any capacity, without the express prior written consent of Mortgagee and the rights of Mortgagee set forth herein and in the Loan Documents shall, to the extent not prohibited by law, extend also to the period from and after the filing of any suit to foreclose the lien of this Mortgage, the entry of judgment and any subsequent period including any period allowed by law for the redemption of the Mortgaged Property after any foreclosure sale.
(h) Additional Waiver. Section 49 is hereby amended by adding the following paragraph at the end of such section:
IN ADDITION, MORTGAGOR HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING WHICH PERTAINS DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS MORTGAGE, THE DEBT, THE OBLIGATIONS, THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT, THE NOTE AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE COLLATERAL, ANY ALLEGED TORTIOUS CONDUCT BY MORTGAGOR OR MORTGAGEE OR WHICH IN ANY WAY, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ARISES OUT OF OR RELATES TO THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MORTGAGOR AND MORTGAGEE. THIS WAIVER OF A RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY MORTGAGOR AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. MORTGAGEE IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY MORTGAGOR.
(i) ISRA Filings in New Jersey. In the event that Mortgagee seeks to take possession of the Mortgaged Property in New Jersey, including in connection with a sale, transfer, closure or termination of operations associated with any foreclosure action, or Mortgagor surrenders possession of the Mortgaged Property to Mortgagee, to the extent the Site Remediation Laws apply to the transfer of the Mortgaged Property in connection with any foreclosure action, Mortgagor shall address the potential applicability of the Site Remediation Reform Act, N.J.S.A. 58:10C-1, et seq. and the Industrial Site Recovery Act, N.J.S.A. §13:1K-6 et seq., and their implementing regulations at N.J.A.C. 7:26B-1.1, et seq.; N.J.A.C. 7:26C-1.1, et seq.; and N.J.A.C. 7:26E-1.1, et seq., each as then amended and current (collectively, the “Site Remediation Laws”). If the Site Remediation Laws are applicable, Mortgagor shall promptly provide Mortgagee, as soon as is practicable, with the following: a Site-Wide Response Action Outcome (an “RAO” as such term is used in the Site Remediation Laws, including at N.J.A.C. 7:26C-6.2) which may include the use of Engineering Controls, Institutional Controls and Remedial Action Permit(s) (as such terms are used in the Site Remediation Laws), subject to the approval of Mortgagee, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, denied or delayed by Mortgagee, and as fully completed, signed and certified by a Licensed Site Remediation Professional (“LSRP”) of the State of New Jersey along with all required supporting documents to be submitted to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (“NJDEP”) as well as the full completion of all appropriate forms for submittal to the NJDEP; or in the event permit(s) are issued by the NJDEP as part of the RAO process, then in addition, the completion of all site activities and outcomes required by such permits(s), with the LSRP then providing the NJDEP with all required supporting documents, the full completion of forms known as “Modifications” as signed and certified by the LSRP along with the documented record that any permit(s) issued by the NJDEP have been fully satisfied. Additionally, if necessary, and as determined/required by Mortgagee, to effectuate the transfer of the ownership, assets, or operations of and/or taking place or located on the Mortgaged Property, a Remediation Certification (as such term is used in the Site Remediation Laws, including at N.J.A.C. 7:26B- 1.4) , as then amended and current, as fully completed, signed and certified by an LSRP, either providing the default dollar amount and current as well as future surcharges along with the Remediation Trust Agreement or other funding source documents as required by the NJDEP in the event a then current Site-wide Preliminary Assessment/Site Investigation of the Mortgaged Property has not been completed, or (b) the submittal to the NJDEP of a fully completed Remediation Cost Review and Remediation Funding Source/Financial Assurance, as then amended and current, detailing the estimate of the remediation as prepared, signed, and certified by an LSRP in the event a then current Site-wide Preliminary Assessment/Site Investigation of the Mortgaged Property has been completed. Mortgagor’s compliance with the Site Remediation Laws shall be at its own cost and expense, and shall include the payment for all NJDEP fees, interest, and penalties, and all costs and dollar amounts in any way related to posting financial assurances, effectuating the remediation and the direction, requirements, recommendations, and charges of the LSRP. Mortgagor shall promptly implement and prosecute to completion or cause to be so implemented and prosecuted, the completion of the RAO process as detailed above, and, if required by Mortgagee, all the requirements of the Remediation Certification in accordance with the schedules contained therein or as may be otherwise required by the Site Remediation Laws. Mortgagee shall reasonably cooperate with Mortgagor in enabling Mortgagor to comply with the Site Remediation Laws, including but not limited to providing Mortgagor and its agents with access to the Mortgaged Property when and where reasonably necessary to satisfy the Site Remediation Laws or the NJDEP requirements, including, by way of example and not limitation, access for the purposes of inspecting the Mortgaged Property or for obtaining soil, water, groundwater or other samples. Mortgagee and Mortgagor agree to finalize a formal Site Access Agreement upon the requirements under this Section 18.9 becoming effective, and Mortgagee agrees to (y) provide documents within Mortgagee’s sole possession when requested in writing by Mortgagor, and (z) execute documents required for submission to the NJDEP or others. However, in no way shall Mortgagee be designated by Mortgagor as a “Responsible Party” in any such documents signed by the Mortgagor as prepared and/or issued by the LSRP and/or filed with the NJDEP under the Site Remediation Laws.
(j) Interest Rate Not Reduced on Judgment. In the event the Mortgagee obtains any judgment against Mortgagor on this Mortgage, the Note, the Purchase Agreement or on the other Loan Documents, whether such judgment is obtained by confession or otherwise, interest shall accrue on the judgment in the same manner and at the same rate as provided in the Purchase Agreement, notwithstanding any law, custom or legal presumption to the contrary, subject only to the usury savings clauses of the Purchase Agreement and this Mortgage, until Mortgagee has received payment in full of all amounts due pursuant to this Mortgage, the Note, the Purchase Agreement and the other Loan Documents secured hereby.
(k) Definition of Debt. As used in this Mortgage, the term “Debt” means the outstanding principal amount set forth in, and evidenced by, the Purchase Agreement and the Note together with all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other sums due to the Mortgagee in respect of the Loan under the Note, the Purchase Agreement, this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.
(l) No Construction against Drafting Party. Mortgagor and Mortgagee have been represented by independent counsel of their own selection in connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Mortgage and the other documents, instruments, records and papers relating hereto, and, without waiving the attorney-client privilege and expressly preserving the same, Mortgagor and Mortgagee acknowledge that they have made such comments on this Mortgage and the other documents, instruments, records and papers relating hereto as they have deemed necessary under the circumstances. Mortgagor and Mortgagee intend that this Mortgage and the other documents, instruments, records and papers relating hereto, shall not be construed against one party or the other based upon any rule of any applicable law giving preference in interpretation to the drafting or non-drafting party or its counsel.
(m) Land Use. Mortgagor shall, in all material respects, comply with and maintain the Mortgaged Property in compliance with all laws, regulations and requirements of all governments and governmental authorities applicable thereto, including but not limited to the conditions of any approval granted or obtained for the Mortgaged Property pursuant to any building code, land development or zoning ordinance and/or resolution of approval pursuant to the New Jersey Municipal Land Use Law, N.J.S. 40:55D-1 et seq.
(n) Last Dollar. The portion of the Debt secured by this Mortgage shall be reduced only by the last and final sums that Mortgagor repays with respect to the Loan and shall not be reduced by any intervening repayments of the Loan by Mortgagor, except as may otherwise be permitted or required herein or in the Purchase Agreement.
(o) Taxes. Mortgagor shall not claim (i) any deduction from the taxable value of the Mortgaged Property as a result of, or in connection with, this Mortgage or (ii) any credit against the principal and interest payable under the Purchase Agreement, the Note, this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents for any taxes paid on the Purchase Property.
(p) Commercial Loan. Mortgagor represents and warrants that the proceeds of the Note were obtained solely for the purpose of carrying on or acquiring a business or commercial investment and not for residential, consumer or household purposes.
THE MORTGAGOR HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES RECEIPT WITHOUT CHARGE OF A TRUE COPY OF THIS MORTGAGE.
