Inc., assigned the Mortgage to an affiliate, APF-CS, LLC. On August 2, 2017, that assignment

was recorded in the public records of the Monroe County Clerk’s Office in Rochester, Monroe

County, New York in book 1823, page 310. That assignment persisted while Access Point

Financial, Inc. reorganized and converted into a limited liability company i.e., Access Point

Fniancial, LLC, the Plaintiff. On January 9, 2019, APF-CS, LLC assigned the Mortgage back to

Access Point. That assignment was recorded in the public records of the Monroe County Clerk’s

Office in Rochester, Monroe County, New York on January 29, 2019 in book 1853, page 571.

31. Access Point Financial, LLC, the Plaintiff herein, is the current and true owner of

the Mortgage.

BORROWER’S DEFAULTS

32. Beginning in February 2018, Borrower failed to make payments due under the

Mortgage Loan Documents and Equipment Loan Documents. This constitutes an Event of

Default under the Mortgage Loan Documents and Equipment Loan Documents, respectively.

33. On or about July 9, 2018, Access Point sent a letter to Borrower and Mrs. Butt,

notifying them of the defaults under the Mortgage Loan Documents and Equipment Loan

Documents (the “Default Letter”). A true and correct copy of the Default Letter is attached

hereto as Exhibit 7.

34. As identified in the Default Letter, interest on the unpaid amounts due under the

Mortgage Loan Documents has and shall accrue at the Default Rate (12.5% per annum) from and

after February 1, 2018, and interest on the unpaid amounts due under the Equipment Loan

Documents has and shall accrue at the rate of 18% per annum..

35. As set forth in the Default Letter, the aggregate amount of unpaid monies owed to

Access Point under the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents was $263,165.10 and under the

terms of the Equipment Loan Documents was $58,684.84 as of July 9, 2018.

36. Access Point demanded that Borrower and Mrs. Butt, as guarantor, cure the

defaults.

37. Notwithstanding the Default Letter and the notice contained therein, the Events of

Default continued and were not cured.

38. On or around July 20, 2018, Access Point sent another letter to Borrower and

Mrs. Butt, notifying them of the failure to make payment of the amounts due and owing to

Access Point as set forth in the Default Letter, and exercising Access Point’s rights under the

Mortgage Loan Documents to declare the entire principal balance, together with all accrued and

unpaid interest thereon and all other sums or payments required under the Mortgage Loan

Documents, including the Late Charge, due and payable immediately (the “First Acceleration

Letter”). The First Acceleration Letter similarly exercised Access Point’s right under the

Equipment Loan Documents to declare the entire principal balance, together with all accrued and

unpaid interest thereon and all other sums or payments required thereunder, including the Late

Charge, due and payable immediately. A true and correct copy of the First Acceleration Letter is

attached hereto as Exhibit 8.

39. By the First Acceleration Letter, Access Point provided notice that it intended to

enforce its rights under the Mortgage Loan Documents and Equipment Loan Documents to

recover its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs unless all amounts due and owing were paid

within ten (10) days from receipt of the First Acceleration Letter.

40. Further, the First Acceleration Letter expressly notified Borrower that under the

Assignment, and as a result of the occurrence of the Events of Default, Borrower’s license to

retain Rents was automatically revoked and terminated.

41. Notwithstanding the Default Letter and the First Acceleration Letter, the Events of

Default continued and were not cured.

42. On or about December 28, 2018, Access Point sent another letter to Borrower and

Mrs. Butt, reiterating its demands as set forth in the Default Letter and First Acceleration Letter and

again exercising Access Point’s rights under the Mortgage Loan Documents and Equipment Loan

Documents to declare the entire principal balances, together with all accrued and unpaid interest

thereon and all other sums or payments required under thereunder, including the Late Charge, due

and payable immediately (the “Second Acceleration Letter”). A true and correct copy of the Second

Acceleration Letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 9.

43. By the Second Acceleration Letter, Access Point again provided notice that it

intended to enforce its rights under the Mortgage Loan Documents and Equipment Loan Documents

to recover its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs unless all amounts due and owing were paid within

ten (10) days from receipt of the Second Acceleration Letter.

44. The Second Acceleration Letter further reiterated that pursuant to the Assignment, as

a result of the occurrence of the Events of Default, Borrower’s license to retain Rents was

automatically revoked and terminated.

45. Notwithstanding the Default Letter, and the First and Second Acceleration Letters,

the Events of Default have continued and, to date, have not been cured.

46. Further, on or about February 8, 2019, Preferred Mutual Insurance Company

notified the Borrower that its insurance coverage for the Mortgaged Property would be cancelled,

effective February 25, 2019, if the Borrower did not remit payment of past due premium

payments (the “First Notice of Cancellation”). A true and correct copy of the First Notice of

Cancellation is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.

47. On or about February 11, 2019, Preferred Mutual Insurance Company further

notified the Borrower that the insurance coverage for the Mortgaged Property would be

cancelled effective March 19, 2019 due to an “increased hazard or material change in the risk

assumed” resulting from one of the buildings on the Mortgaged Property being vacant (the

“Second Notice of Cancellation”). A true and correct copy of the Second Notice of Cancellation

is attached hereto as Exhibit 11.

48. As a result of the First Notice of Cancellation, insurance coverage for the

Mortgaged Property will lapse on February 25, 2019. Even if the Borrower makes the required

payments, the Second Notice of Cancellation demonstrates that the Mortgaged Property will no

longer be insured as of March 19, 2019.

49. Section 4.3 of the Mortgage requires the Borrower to maintain insurance on the

Mortgaged Property against casualty and loss for the duration of the Mortgage Loan.

50. Section 7.1(a) expressly defines the Borrower’s failure to maintain insurance

coverage for the Mortgaged Property as an Event of Default.

51. Therefore, Borrower’s failure to make the payments required to maintain

insurance coverage for the Mortgaged Property constitutes an Event of Default in addition to

Borrower’s failure to make the payments required under the Mortgage Loan Documents and

Equipment Loan Documents. All of these defaults have continued to date.

AS AND FOR A FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION

52. Access Point hereby repeats and realleges all of the preceding allegations set forth

in paragraphs 1 through 51, inclusive, above, to the same extent as if fully set forth herein.

53. Borrower has defaulted under the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents and

Equipment Loan Documents and failed to repay the indebtedness when due as promised. For

these reasons and others, Borrower is in default, giving Access Point the right to foreclose on the

Mortgaged Property and Collateral and sue for recovery of any sums due to it.

54. As stated in the First and Second Acceleration Letters, Access Point has elected

and hereby confirms its election to declare immediately due and owing the entire unpaid

principal together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other sums or payments

required under the Mortgage Loan Documents and Equipment Loan Documents, including the

Late Charge, as well as attorney’s fees.

55. Borrower has failed to remit the amounts referred to in the Default Letter, First

Acceleration Letter, and Second Acceleration Letter, and has failed to remit any part thereof.

56. Borrower has not disputed the Notice of Default, the First Acceleration Letter, or

the Second Acceleration Letter.

57. Further, Borrower has failed to make payments required to maintain insurance on

the Mortgaged Property, an express covenant in Section 4.3 of the Mortgage, and that failure

constitutes an additional Event of Default.

58. As of December 28, 2018, the date of the Second Acceleration Letter, the

following amounts (exclusive of costs and fees, including attorney’s fees) were due and owing to

Access Point under the Mortgage Loan Documents, no part of which has been paid although duly

demanded:

Principal $4,280,000.00

Interest $190,816.67

Interest at Default Rate $180,116.67
