4.    Priority of Liens ‑ Senior Lender and Junior Lender agree that at all times, whether before, after or during the pendency of any bankruptcy, reorganization or other insolvency proceeding involving Borrower, and notwithstanding the priorities which would ordinarily result from the order of the granting of any lien, or the order of filing of any financing statements or mortgages, the priorities of the liens in favor of the Senior Lender and the Junior Lender shall be as follows:
a.
In the event of any distribution of the proceeds of any collateral covered by the Senior Loan Documents or Junior Loan Documents whether by reason of liquidation, bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other action or proceeding involving the readjustment of the obligations and indebtedness of Borrower (and including without limitation, any recoveries under the Guaranties), or the application of the assets of Borrower (and including without limitation, any recoveries under the Guaranties), to the payment or liquidation



thereof, or as a result of foreclosure of the Devens Property or the dissolution or winding up of Borrower’s business or the sale of the Devens Property or all or substantially all of Borrower’s assets (and including without limitation, any recoveries under the Guaranties), all distributions of proceeds of said collateral shall be first made to the Senior Lender until the Borrower’s obligations to the Senior Lender are paid in full, and thereafter to the Junior Lender. Each party agrees that should it receive any monies in contravention of this Agreement from the sale, liquidation, casualty or other disposition of, or as a result of its Loan Documents, in any collateral at any time during the term of this Agreement, it will (unless otherwise restricted or prohibited by law) hold the same in trust for and promptly pay over the same to the party entitled to receive such monies in accordance with the priorities of liens provided hereunder.
b.
The Junior Loan and the liens, if any, of any Junior Loan Documents shall, upon the execution hereof, be subject to and subordinate to the Senior Loan and liens of the Senior Loan Documents which shall at all times have priority over the Junior Loan and any Junior Loan Documents as to:
i.
All monies due, and to become due, pursuant to the Senior Loan;
ii.
All interest, including any default rate interest or late fees, which may become due and owing thereon with respect to the Senior Loan;
iii.
All costs, reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses incurred by the Senior Lender in connection with collection efforts as to the Senior Loan or Senior Loan Documents.
c.
The Junior Lender shall not receive, accept or demand from the Borrower any pre-payments or payments whatsoever with respect to the Junior Loan, nor shall the Junior Lender exercise any remedy for failure of Borrower to make any payment with respect to the Junior Loan, in each case until and after the obligations under the Senior Loan are paid in full. In the event that Junior Lender shall accept or receive any funds or payments in contravention of this subsection, said amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Senior Lender and shall be paid over to the Senior Lender upon written demand therefore. Further, in the event the Junior Lender shall commence to exercise its remedies under the Junior Loan in contravention of this sub-section and the Junior Lender shall thereafter recover or receive any funds on account of the Junior Loan, said funds shall be paid over to the Senior Lender to the extent of its unpaid loan balance, interest or expenses with respect to the Senior Loan. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, so long as there is then no Event of Default under the Senior Loan Documents, the Borrower may pay, and the Junior Lender may receive on or about March 31, 2019 and on or about March 31, 2020, an annual principal payment of $3,000,000.00 plus interest accrued thereon under the Junior Loan Documents (without limiting the foregoing, it is expressly understood that Borrower may not make any prepayments or accelerated payments under the Junior Loan Documents). Provided further, the Junior Lender shall not receive, accept or



demand principal or interest payments from the Borrower if there is then an Event of Default under the Senior Loan Documents about which Junior Lender has received notice (except for any default or event of default under the Junior Loan Documents for which no notice shall be required) and/or if any said payment creates or results in an Event of Default of any covenant contained in Section 5.12(b) (Minimum Debt Service Coverage), under the Senior Loan Document known as the Loan Agreement. As provided in this subsection 4(c), said payments shall immediately cease and terminate upon delivery by the Senior Lender to the Junior Lender of a Senior Default Notice. Provided, further, the Junior Lender shall not without the express written permission of the Senior Lender, exercised in its sole and exclusive discretion, exercise any remedy against Borrower under any Junior Loan Documents whether or not the Junior Lender has received a Senior Default Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall prevent the Junior Lender from (i) accelerating the Junior Loan in accordance with its terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, or (ii) filing any proof of claim in respect of the amounts outstanding under the Junior Loan in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceedings of the Borrower; provided that any amounts received or receivable in connection therewith in respect of the Junior Loan by the Junior Lender shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 4(a) above and this section
The Junior Lender acknowledges that it has received and reviewed with its counsel the Senior Loan Documents and fully understands the terms and obligations of the Borrower thereunder including, without limitation, the rates of interest on the Senior Loan. The Junior Lender acknowledges that a default under the Junior Loan shall be a default under the Senior Loan.
5.    Conduct of Liquidation – The Senior Lender may conduct a foreclosure or liquidation of the Devens Property or those assets of the Borrower in which it has a lien pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents subject, however, to the following:
a.
If the Senior Lender conducts a foreclosure or liquidation, the Senior Lender shall provide the Junior Lender with copies of all demands, communications, correspondence and pleadings which relate to the Senior Lender’s conduct of such foreclosure or liquidation.
b.
The proceeds of any foreclosure or liquidation shall be distributed in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 4 above.
c.
If the Senior Lender conducts a foreclosure or liquidation it shall provide the Junior Lender with a written statement of the results of such foreclosure or liquidation and the distribution of the proceeds thereof.
d.
The parties agree that Senior Lender is the holder of a first priority lien as to all collateral covered by the Senior Loan Documents and that the Junior Lender may not conduct a foreclosure or liquidation without the prior written consent of Senior Lender or until the Senior Loan is paid in full.



e.
The Senior Lender may, in its sole discretion, accelerate or demand payment of the Senior Loan and initiate or conduct a liquidation, foreclose upon, realize upon, or exercise any of the Senior Lender’s rights, powers and remedies with respect to the Devens Property or other collateral without the consent of the Junior Lender.
f.
The Junior Lender shall not have any right to contest any of the procedures or actions taken by Senior Lender with respect to the collateral covered by the Senior Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any price or other terms of sale or disposition of the Devens Property or collateral.
g.
The Senior Lender and Junior Lender each hereby waive any and all rights to require the other to marshal any collateral or any part thereof covered by the Loan Documents upon any foreclosure or liquidation of the Devens Property or the collateral, nor shall the Senior Lender be required to first pursue or otherwise realize upon any other collateral (unconnected to the Devens Property) and/or pursue its right under any guarantees of the Senior Loan. The Senior Lender does hereby reserve its right to pursue all remedies afforded it under the Senior Loan Documents without affecting its rights hereunder.
6.    Distribution of Insurance Proceeds – In the event insurance proceeds are realized in any asset of the Borrower in which both the Senior Lender and the Junior Lender have a lien, the proceeds thereof shall be distributed in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 4 above. In the event of such realization of insurance proceeds during any period prior to payment in full of the Senior Lender, the Junior Lender hereby designates the Senior Lender as its attorney in fact to endorse any draft, check or other item on which the Junior Lender’s name appears. In the event that the Senior Lender or the Junior Lender receives any insurance proceeds on any assets of the Borrower, the Senior Lender or the Junior Lender, as the case may be, to hold such proceeds in trust and to distribute such proceeds as provided herein.
7.    Term ‑ This Agreement shall be irrevocable by Senior Lender or Junior Lender until all indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of Borrower to Senior Lender have been paid-in-full satisfied and all financing arrangements between Borrower and Senior Lender have been terminated.
8.    No Contest as to Liens ‑ Junior Lender admits the validity and perfection of the liens Senior Lender holds in the Devens Property and collateral and agrees that so long as this Agreement shall not have terminated Junior Lender shall not contest in any judicial, administrative or other proceeding the validity or perfection of such Senior Loan Documents or liens created thereby or the priority accorded to such liens hereunder.

limitation, a receiver, trustee, custodian or debtor-in-possession. The Junior Lender shall not sell, assign or transfer any of the Junior Lender’s interests in the Junior Loan unless and until the buyer, assignee or transferee thereof shall deliver a written instrument to the holders of the Senior Loan agreeing that such transferee shall be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement and shall be deemed to be a “Junior Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement.
11.    Notices ‑ Any notice, demand and other communication under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed satisfactorily given upon delivery in hand, delivery by commercial carrier, delivery by Federal Express or other overnight courier services, or deposits in the United States mails, postage prepaid, by certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed as follows:
