How can you be immortal but only until the end of the first age? If you die at a certain time, you are not immortal.
Also, mortality is a GIFT from illuvatar. How could Morgoth or Sauron BESTOW mortality on the orcs? If mortality is a gift from illuvatar, then only illuvatar may bestow it, and thu, orcs cannot die of old age. Although Sauron and Morgoth may not have seen it as such, mortality is a gift, not a curse.
