EXHIBIT 10.7
MASTER LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
Master Loan and Security Agreement No. S7020, dated November 19, 1998
FINOVA TECHNOLOGY FINANCE, INC. ("we," "us" or "FINOVA") is willing to make a
loan (the "Loan") to ANTIGENICS, LLC ("you" or "Borrower") under the terms and
conditions contained in this Master Loan and Security Agreement (this "Master
Agreement"). The Loan will be secured by the Collateral described in any
schedule to this Agreement (a "Schedule"). The Collateral also includes any
replacement parts, additions and accessories that you may add to the Collateral,
as well as any proceeds of sale, lease or rental of the Collateral. We may treat
any Schedule as a separate loan and security agreement containing all of the
provisions of this Loan and Security Agreement.
1. THE CREDIT
We may make the Loan in more than one advance (an "Advance", each of which shall
be evidenced by a "Schedule"). All of the Schedules, taken together, will make
up the Loan. We will only make the Loan to you if all the conditions in this
Master Agreement have been met to our satisfaction. We will rely on your
representations and warranties, contained in this Master Agreement, in making
the Loan. The terms of this Agreement will each apply to the Loan.
- USE OF PROCEEDS. You will use the proceeds of the Loan to pay for the
Collateral. We may pay the Supplier (whom you have chosen) of the
Collateral directly from the Loan proceeds. The Supplier will deliver the
Collateral to you at your expense. You will properly install the
Collateral at your expense at the location(s) indicated in the Schedule.
If you have already paid for the Collateral, we will pay the Loan proceeds
to you or to another person that you may designate in writing.
- NOTES. Your obligation to repay the Loan and to pay interest on the Loan
will be evidenced by Notes. Each Note will be dated the date of the
Schedule to which the Advance evidenced by the Note is related.
- TERM. The Term of each Schedule (and the related Advance) begins upon the
date that we make payment for the Collateral covered under each Schedule
(the "Closing Date"). The Term continues until you fully perform all of
your obligations under this Agreement and each Schedule and the related
Note(s) If the Collateral is not delivered, installed and accepted by you
by the date indicated in the Schedule, we may terminate this Agreement and
the Schedule as to the Collateral that was not delivered, installed and
accepted by giving you 10 days written notice of termination.
- LOAN ACCOUNT. We will keep a loan account on our books and records (which
are computerized) for the Loan. We will record all payments of principal
and interest in the loan account. Unless the entries in the loan account
are clearly in error, the loan account will definitively indicate the
outstanding principal balance and accrued interest on the Loan. We may
send you loan account statements from time to time or upon your request.
2
- PAYMENTS. The scheduled loan payments (the "Payments") are indicated on
the Schedule. The Payments are payable periodically as specified on the
Schedule from time to time (for example, monthly). The Schedule also
indicates whether the Payments are payable "in advance" or "in arrears."
You agree that you owe us the total of all of these Payments over the Term
of the Schedule.
- FIRST PAYMENT. The first Payment is due at the beginning of the Term or at
a later date that we agree to in writing. Subsequent Payments are due on
the thirtieth day of each successive period (except the next following
period if Payments are payable in arrears) until you pay us in full all of
the Payments and any other charges or expenses you owe us.
- INTEREST. Prior to maturity of a Schedule, you will pay us interest on
each Schedule at the Interest Rate indicated in the Schedule. "Maturity"
means the scheduled maturity or any earlier date on which we accelerate
the Loan. The Payment amount indicated in the Schedule includes interest
at this Interest Rate. Interest is calculated in advance using a year of
360 days with twelve months of 30 days.
- DEFAULT INTEREST RATE. After Maturity of the Loan you will pay us interest
at a rate of four (4%) percent per year above the Interest Rate. This is
referred to as the "Default Rate."
- INTERIM PAYMENT. If an Advance is made on a day other than the thirtieth
or thirty-first day of a period, you will also pay us an interim Payment
on the first Payment date. The interim Payment will be for the period from
the beginning of the Term until the twenty-ninth day of the period in
which the Advance is made, unless the Advance is made on the thirty-first
day of a period. If the Advance is made on the thirty-first day of a
period, the interim Payment will be for the period from the beginning of
the Term through and including the twenty-ninth day of the next following
period. The Interim Payment will be calculated the same way as the regular
Payments but pro rata on a daily basis for the number of days for which
the interim Payment is due.
- USURY. You and we intend to obey the law. If the Interest Rate charged
would exceed the maximum legal rate, you will only have to pay the maximum
legal rate. You do not have to pay any excess interest over and above the
maximum legal rate of interest. However, if it later becomes legal for you
to pay all or part of any excess interest, you will then pay it to us upon
our request.
- PAYMENT DETAILS. You will make all payments due under this Master
Agreement by 12:00 P.M., Connecticut time, on the day they are due. You
will make all payments in US Dollars (US$) in immediately available funds.
We do not have to make or give "presentment, demand, protest or notice" to
get paid. You waive "presentment, demand, protest and notice."
- APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. Each payment under this Master Agreement is to be
applied in the following order: first, to any fees, costs, expenses and
charges you may owe us; second, to any interest due; and third to the
principal balance.
-2-
3
- PREPAYMENT. You may not prepay the Loan, in whole or in part, unless this
is specifically permitted by Exhibit A to this Agreement. If prepayment is
permitted by Exhibit A to this Master Agreement, you will give us at least
30 days advance written notice of prepayment. You will pay us the
prepayment premium indicated in the Schedule(s). You will also pay us all
accrued and unpaid interest through the date of prepayment, as well as all
outstanding fees, costs, expenses and charges then due. Of course, you
will also pay the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan. Once
you give us a notice of prepayment, that notice is final and irrevocable.
If we accelerate the Loan following an Event of Default, you will also owe
us a prepayment premium calculated as if the Loan were prepaid on the date
of acceleration. If no prepayment is permitted, the premium due upon
acceleration will be five (5%) percent of the outstanding principal
balance.
- YOUR OBLIGATION TO PAY US ALL PAYMENTS IS ABSOLUTE AND UNCONDITIONAL. YOU
ARE NOT EXCUSED FROM MAKING THE PAYMENTS, IN FULL, FOR ANY REASON. YOU
AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO DEFENSE FOR FAILURE TO MAKE THE PAYMENTS AND YOU
WILL NOT MAKE ANY COUNTERCLAIMS OR SETOFFS TO AVOID MAKING THE PAYMENTS.
2. SECURITY INTEREST
- You grant us a security interest in the Collateral. The Collateral secures
the full and timely payment and performance of all of your obligations to
us and to FINOVA Capital Corporation under this Master Agreement and any
other agreement, loan or lease that you may have with us or FINOVA Capital
Corporation (the "Obligations"). You also grant us a security interest in
any additional collateral identified in any Schedule. Any additional
collateral is considered to be "Collateral" and it secures all of the
Obligations.
- If we request, you will put labels supplied by us stating "PROPERTY OF
FINOVA" on the Collateral where they are clearly visible.
- You give us permission to add to this Master Agreement or any Schedule the
serial numbers and other information about the Collateral.
- You give us permission to file this Master Agreement or a Uniform
Commercial Code financing statement, at your expense, in order to perfect
our security interest in the Collateral. You also give us permission to
sign your name on the Uniform Commercial Code financing statements where
this is permitted by law.
- You will pay our cost to do searches for other filings or judgments
against you or your affiliates. You will also pay any filing, recording or
stamp fees or taxes resulting from filing this Agreement or a Uniform
Commercial Code financing statement. You will also pay our fees in effect
from time to time for documentation, administration and Termination of
this Master Agreement.
-3-
4
- At your expense, you will defend our first priority security interest in
the Collateral against, and keep the Collateral free of, any legal
process, liens, other security interests, attachments, levies and
executions. You will give us immediate written notice of any legal
process, liens, attachments, levies or executions, and you will indemnify
us against any loss that results to us from these causes.
- You will notify us at least 15 days before you change the address of your
principal executive office.
- You will promptly sign and return additional documents that we may request
in order to protect our first priority security interest in the
Collateral.
- The Collateral is personal property and will remain personal property. You
will not incorporate it into real estate and will not do anything that
will cause the Collateral to become part of real estate or a fixture.
3. CONDITIONS OF LENDING
- See our Commitment Letter to you dated November 16, 1998, which you and we
consider to be a part of this Master Agreement. The terms and conditions
of the Commitment Letter continued following the making of the first
Advance. However, if there is a conflict between the terms and conditions
of this Master Agreement, any schedule or any Note and the terms and
conditions of the Commitment Letter, then you and we agree that the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, the Schedules and the Notes control over
the Commitment Letter terms and conditions.

following:
* That no payment is past due to us under any other agreement, loan or lease
that you or any guarantor have with us or with FINOVA Capital Corporation.
* That we have received all the documents we requested, including the signed
Schedule, Note and Delivery and Acceptance Certificate.
* that there has been no material adverse change in your financial

from the financial condition that you disclosed to us in your application
for credit.
4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

- All financial information and other information that you or any guarantor
have given us is true and complete. You or any guarantor have not failed
to tell us anything that would make the financial information misleading.

guarantor, or the financial condition of any guarantor, from the financial
condition that you disclosed to us in your application for credit.
-4-

- You have supplied us with information about the Collateral. You promise to
us that the amount of our Advance as to each item of Collateral is no more
than the fair and usual price for this kind of Collateral, taking into
account any discounts, rebates and allowances that you or any affiliate of
yours may have given for the Collateral.
- You have complied with all "environmental laws" and will continue to
comply with all "environmental laws." No "hazardous substances" are used,

except in compliance with all environmental laws. "Environmental laws"

including the following laws: CERCLA, RCRA, Hazardous Materials Transport
Act and The Federal Water Pollution Control Act. "Hazardous substances"

in the environmental laws, as well as oil, flammable substances, asbestos

polychlorinated biphenyls and radon gas.
- You have taken all action necessary including but not limited to due

change to your business by reason of the advent of the year 2000,
including without limitation that all computer-based systems, embedded
microchips and other processing capabilities effectively recognize and
process dates after April 1, 1999.
5. COVENANTS
You agree to do the following things (or not to do the following things if so
stated) until full payment of all amounts due to us under this Agreement, the
Schedules and the Notes:
CARE, USE, LOCATION AND ALTERATION OF THE COLLATERAL
- You will make sure that the Collateral is maintained in good operating
condition, and that it is serviced, repaired and overhauled when this is
necessary to keep the Collateral in good operating condition. All
maintenance must be done according to the Supplier's or Manufacturer's
requirements or recommendations. All maintenance must also comply with any
legal or regulatory requirements.
- You will maintain service logs for the Collateral and permit us to inspect
the Collateral, the service logs and service reports. You give us
permission to make copies of the service logs and service reports.
- We will give you prior notice if we, or our agent, want to inspect the
Collateral or the service logs or service reports. We may inspect it
during regular business hours. You will pay our travel, meals and lodging
costs to inspect the Collateral, but only for one inspection ear. If we
find during an inspection that you are not complying with this Master
Agreement, you will pay our travel, meals and lodging costs, our salary
costs, and the costs and fees of our agents for reinspection. You will
promptly cure any problems with the Collateral that are discovered during
our inspection.
-5-
6
- You will use the Collateral only for business purposes. You will obey all
legal and regulatory requirements in your use of the Collateral.
- You will make all additions, modifications and improvements to the
Collateral that are required by law or government regulation. Otherwise,
you will not alter the Collateral without our written permission. You will
replace all worn, lost, stolen or destroyed parts of the Collateral with
replacement parts that are as good or better than the original parts. The
new parts will become subject to our security interest upon replacement.
- You will not remove the Collateral from the location indicated in the
Schedule without our written permission.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANT
- You shall take all action necessary including but not limited to due
inquiry and due diligence with critical business partners to assure that
there will be no material adverse change to your business by reason of the
advent of the year 2000, including without limitation that all
computer-based systems, embedded microchips and other processing
capabilities effectively recognize and process dates after April 1, 1999.
At our request, you shall provide to us assurance reasonably acceptable to
us that your computer-based systems, embedded microchips and other
processing capabilities are year 2000 compatible.
RISK OF LOSS
- You have the complete risk of loss or damage to the Collateral. Loss or
damage to the Collateral will not relieve you of your obligation to make
the Payments.
- If any Collateral is lost or damaged, you have two choices (although if
you are in default under this Master Agreement, we and not you will have
the two choices). The choices are:
(1) Repair or replace the damaged or lost Collateral so that, once again, the
Collateral is in good operating condition and we have a perfected first
priority security interest in it.
(2) Pay us the present value (as of the date of payment) of the remaining
Payments. We will calculate the present value using a discount rate of
five (5%) percent per year. Once you have paid us this amount and any
other amount that you may owe us, we will release our security interest in
the damaged or lost Collateral and you (or your insurer) may keep the
Collateral for salvage purposes, on an "AS IS WHERE IS" basis.
INSURANCE
- Until you have made all Payments to us under this Master Agreement, the
Schedules and the Notes, you will keep the Collateral insured. The amount
of insurance, the coverage, and the insurance company must be acceptable
to us.
- If you do not provide us with written evidence of insurance that is
acceptable to us, we may buy the insurance ourselves, at your expense. You
will promptly pay us the cost of this
-6-
7
insurance. We have no obligation to purchase any insurance. Any insurance
that we purchase will be our insurance, and not yours.
- Insurance proceeds may be used to repair or replace damaged or lost
Collateral or to pay us the present value of the Payments, as provided
above.
- You appoint us as your "attorney-in-fact" to make claims under the
insurance policies, to receive payments under the insurance policies, and
to endorse your name on all documents, checks or drafts relating to
insurance claims for Collateral.
TAXES
- You will pay all sales, use, excise, stamp, documentary and ad valorum
taxes, license, recording and registration fees, assessments, fines,
penalties and similar charges imposed on the ownership, possession, use,
lease or rental of the equipment or on the Loan.
- You will pay all taxes (other than our federal or state net income taxes)
imposed on your or on us regarding the Payments.
- You will reimburse us for any of these taxes that we pay or advance.
- You will file and pay for any personal property taxes on the Collateral.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- During the Term you will promptly give copies of any filings you make with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). You and any guarantor will
also provide us with the following financial statements:
* Quarterly balance sheet and statements of earnings and cash flow - within
45 days after the end of your first three fiscal quarters in each fiscal
year. These will be certified by the chief financial officer. You will
also deliver to us, together with your quarterly financial statements, a
certificate executed by your chief financial officer, to the effect that
since the date of the previous certificate delivered to us, there has been
no default under this Master Agreement or, if the same cannot be so
certified, the reasons surrounding the same.
* Annual balance sheet and statements of earnings and cash flow - within 90
days after the end of each fiscal year. These will be audited by
independent auditors acceptable to FINOVA. Their audit report must be
unqualified.
These financial statements will be prepared according to generally accepted
accounting principles, consistently applied.
All financial statements and Sec filings that you or any guarantor provide us
will be true and complete. They will not fail to tell us anything that would
make them misleading.

6. DEFAULTS
You are in default if any of the following happens:
- You do not pay us, when it is due or within seven (7) days thereafter, any
payment or other payment that you owe us under this Master Agreement, any
Schedule, Note or that you owe us under this Master Agreement, any
Schedule, Note or that you owe under any other agreement, loan or lease
that you have with us or with FINOVA Capital Corporation.
- Any of the financial information that you give us is not true and complete
in all material respects, or you fail to tell us anything that would make
the financial information misleading in any material respect.
- You do something you are not permitted to do, or you fail to do anything
that is required of you, under this Master Agreement, any schedule or nay
other lease, loan or other financial arrangement that you have with us.

yours (or any guarantor) that exceeds $50,000.

against you or any guarantor.
- You or any guarantor are subject to any other insolvency proceeding other
than bankruptcy (for example, a receivership action or an assignment for
the benefit of creditors).

part of its assets, merge or consolidate, or a majority of your voting
stock or interests (or any guarantor's voting stock or interests) is
transferred.
- There is a material adverse change in your financial condition, business
or operations, or that of any guarantor, from the condition that you
disclosed to us in your application for credit.
REMEDIES, DEFAULT INTEREST, LATE FEES
If you are in default we may exercise one or more of our "remedies." Each of our
remedies is independent. We may exercise any of our remedies, all of our
remedies or none of our remedies. We may exercise them in any order we choose.
Our exercise of any remedy will not prevent us from exercising any other remedy
or be an "election of remedies." If we do not exercise a remedy, or if we delay
in exercising a remedy, this does not mean that we are forgiving your default or
that we are giving up our right to exercise the remedy. Our remedies allow us to
do one or more of the following:
- "Accelerate" this Loan balance under any or all Notes. This means that we
may require you to immediately pay us all Payments for the entire Term for
any or all Schedules.
- Require you to immediately pay us all amounts that you are required to pay
us for the entire Term of any other agreements, loans or leases that you
have with us.
-8-
9
- Xxx you for all Payments and other amounts you owe us plus the Prepayment
Premium (see Section 1 above).
- Require you at your expense to assemble the Collateral at a location we
request in the Untied States of America.
Remove and repossess the Collateral from where it is located, without demand or
notice, or make the Collateral inoperable. We have your permission to remove any
physical obstructions to removal of the Collateral. We may also disconnect and
separate all Collateral from other property. No court order, court hearing or
"legal process" will be required for us to repossess the Collateral. You will
not be entitled to any damages resulting form removal or repossession of the
Collateral. We may use, ship, store, repair or lease any Collateral that we
repossess. We may sell any repossessed Collateral at private or public sale. You
give us permission to show the Collateral to buyers at your location free of
charge during normal business hours. If we do this, we do not have to remove the
Collateral from your location. If we repossess the Collateral and sell it we
will give you credit for the net sale price, after subtracting our costs of
repossessing and selling the Collateral. If we rent the Collateral to somebody
else, we will give you credit for the net rent received, after subtracting our
costs of repossessing and renting the Collateral, but the credit will be
discounted to present value using a discount rate equal to the Default Rate. The
credit will be applied against what you owe us under this Master Agreement, the
Schedules, the Notes and any other agreements, loans or leases that you have
with us. If the credit exceeds the amount you owe under this Master Agreement,
the Schedule, the Notes and any other agreements, loans or leases that you have
with us, we will refund the amount of the excess to you.
- Return conditions: Following an Event of Default, at our request you will
return the Collateral, freight and insurance prepaid by you, to us at a
location we request in the United States of America. It will be returned
in good operating condition, as required by Section 5 above. The
Collateral will not be subject to any liens when it is returned. All
advertising insignia will be removed and the finish will be painted or
blended so that nobody can see that advertising insignia used to be there.
* You will pack or crate the Collateral for shipping in the original
containers, or comparable ones. You will do this carefully and follow all
recommendations of the Supplier and the Manufacturer as to packing or
crating.
* You will also return to us the plans, specifications, operating manuals,
software documentation, discs, warranties and other documents furnished by
the Manufacturer or Supplier. You will also return to us all service logs
and service reports, as well as all written materials that you may have
concerning the maintenance and operation of the Collateral.
* At our request, you will provide us with up to 60 days free storage of the
Collateral at your location, and will let us (or our agent) have access to
the Collateral in order to inspect it and sell it.
* You will pay us what it costs us to repair the Collateral if you do not
return it in the required condition.
-9-
10
You will also pay us for the following:
- All our expenses of enforcing our remedies. This includes all our expenses
to repossess, store, ship, repair and sell the Collateral.
- Our reasonable attorney's fees and expenses.
- Default interest on everything you owe us from the date of your default to
the date on which we are paid in full at the Default Rate.
You realize that the damages we could suffer as a result of your default are
very uncertain. This is why we have agreed with you in advance on the Default
Rate to be used in calculating the payments you will owe us if you default. You
agree that, for these reasons, the payments you will owe us if you default are
"agreed" or "liquidated" damages. You understand that these payments are not
"penalties" or "forfeitures."
LATE FEES. You will pay us a late fee whenever you pay any amount that you owe
us more than ten (10) days after it is due. You will pay the late fee within one
month after the late Payment was originally due. The late fee will be five (5%)
percent of the late Payment. If this exceeds the highest legal amount we can
charge you, you will only be required to pay the highest legal amount. The late
fee is intended to reimburse us for our collection costs that are caused by late
Payment. It is charged in addition to all other amounts you are required to pay
us, including Default Interest.
7. EXPENSES AND INDEMNITIES
PERFORMING YOUR OBLIGATIONS IF YOU DO NOT
- If you do not perform one or more of your obligations under this Master
Agreement or a Schedule or Note, we may perform it for you. We will notify
you in writing at least ten (10) days before we do this. We do not have to
perform any of your obligations for you. If we do choose to perform them,
you will pay us all of our expenses to perform them, you will pay us all
of our expenses to perform the obligations. You will also reimburse us for
any money that we advance to perform your obligations, together with
interest at the Default Rate on that amount. These will be additional
"Payments" that you will owe us and you will pay them at the same time
that your next Payment is due.
- You will indemnify us, defend us and hold us harmless for any and all
claims, expenses and attorney's fees concerning or arising from the
Collateral, this Agreement, or any Schedule or Note, or your breach of any
representation or warranty. It includes any claims concerning the
manufacture, selection, delivery, possession, use, operation or return of
the Collateral.
- This obligation of yours to indemnify us continues even after the Term is
over.
