LENDER’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

SECTION 9.01. Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence, and during the continuation, of an Event of Default, the Lender (at its election but without notice of its election and without demand) may do any one or more of the following, all of which are authorized by the Borrower:

(a)           Declare all or any portion of the Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest, or notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower;
 
(b)           Terminate this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents as to any future liability or obligation of Lender, but without affecting any of the Lender’s Liens in the Borrower Collateral and without affecting the Obligations;

(c)           Without notice to or demand upon Borrower or any Guarantor, make such payments and do such acts as Lender considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interests in the Borrower Collateral. Borrower agrees to assemble the Borrower Collateral if Lender so requires, and to make the Borrower Collateral available to Lender at a place that Lender may designate which is reasonably convenient to both parties. Borrower authorizes Lender to enter the premises where the Borrower Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of the Borrower Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien that in Lender’s reasonable determination, appears to conflict with the priority of Lender’s Liens in and to the Borrower Collateral and to pay all reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith and to charge to the balance of the Term Loan. With respect to any of Borrower’s owned or leased premises, Borrower hereby grants to Lender a license to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the same, without charge, in order to exercise any of Lender’s rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise;

(d)           Without notice to Borrower (such notice being expressly waived), and without constituting an acceptance of any collateral in full or partial satisfaction of an obligation (within the meaning of the Code), set off and apply to the Obligations any and all (i) balances and deposits of Borrower held by Lender, or (ii) Indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower held by Lender;
 
(e)   Terminate any commitment to lend hereunder; and
 
(f)              Lender shall have all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity or pursuant to any other Loan Document.

The rights and remedies of Lender under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. Lender shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Lender of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Lender of any Event of Default shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Lender shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. In the event of an Event of Default which is not cured within any applicable cure period, Borrower  agrees to cooperate with Lender  to assemble and to liquidate the Borrower Collateral.

SECTION 2.1.GUARANTY.
 

 
Guarantor hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and absolutely guarantees to Lender, and Lender’s successors and assigns, the due and prompt payment, and not just the collectability, of the principal of, and interest and late charges, escrow payments and all other indebtedness and indemnification, if any, under any of the Loan Documents when due, whether at  maturity, pursuant to mandatory or optional prepayments, by acceleration, indemnification or otherwise all at the times and places and at the rates described in, and otherwise according to the terms of, the Note and the other Loan Documents.

Exhibit C to Term Loan and Security Agreement

Guarantor further hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and absolutely guarantees to Lender the due and prompt performance by Borrower of all duties, agreements and obligations of Borrower contained in the Note and the other Loan Documents, and the due and prompt payment of all costs incurred, including reasonable attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and costs (including, without limitation, fees and costs incurred in litigation, mediation, arbitration, administrative and bankruptcy proceedings, and appeals therefrom), in enforcing the payment and performance of the Note and the other Loan Documents and this Guaranty Agreement.
 
The payment and performance of the items set forth in this Section 2.1 are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Indebtedness Guaranteed”.

In case any covenant and agreement made by Borrower under any Loan Documents has not been performed or any obligation under the Note or other Loan Document shall not have been paid by Borrower when due, Guarantor will, not later than fifteen (15) days after written notice by Lender, perform the same and pay the same, to the amount and to the extent required hereunder.

(a)
any failure to present the Note for payment or to demand payment thereof, or to give Borrower notice of dishonor for nonpayment of the Note or the interest thereon, when and as the same may become due and payable, or notice of any failure on the part of Borrower and/or Guarantor to do any act or thing or to perform or keep any covenant or agreement by it to be done, kept and performed under the terms of the Note or the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents;
 
 
(b)

(c)
any release, limitation, discharge, or cessation of the liability of Borrower or any other person for all or any portion of the obligations under any of the Loan Documents or of Guarantor under this Guaranty Agreement due to any statute, regulation or rule of law, or any invalidity or unenforceability in whole or in part of this Guaranty Agreement or of any provision of any Loan Document or any term or provision hereof or thereof;
 
 
(d)
any defense, setoff, counterclaim, or claim of recoupment, reduction, diminution, discharge, or exoneration, or any other defense of any kind or nature, other than that of prior performance, that Borrower or Guarantor may have or assert, including, but not limited to, any defense of incapacity or lack of authority to enter into  this Guaranty Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or to perform or pay the liabilities and obligations contained herein or therein, or any defense based on any omission, statute of limitations, failure of consideration, accord and satisfaction, delay or inadequacy, whether entire or partial, respectively, under this Guaranty Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the existence of any defense to the enforcement of the Loan Documents;
 
 
(e)
any failure or delay in exercising Lender’s rights and/or remedies against Borrower or Guarantor, hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents. Lender’s release of or refusal to enforce any provision of the Loan Documents, or agreement not to sue Borrower, any suspension of the right to enforce against Borrower its obligations under the Loan Documents or any security interest in or lien upon any collateral granted to Lender under the Loan Documents or any transfer, waiver, subordination, exchange, substitute, recovery, abandonment, compromise, settlement, modification, surrender or release of any security granted to Lender, or any agreement or undertaking of Borrower, Guarantor or any other person; any compromise, extension, renewal of, or settlement of duration or time for payment, discharge, or performance of all or any part of the liabilities or the obligations hereunder, whether made with or without the knowledge or consent of Borrower or Guarantor; any amendment to or modification of, alteration, increase, reduction, compromise of, renewal, extension, refinance of, any of the Loan Documents, any amendment or modification of any documents or agreement relating thereto or any release, surrender, exchange, realization, or compromise of Lender’s rights and remedies with respect to any lien upon or security interest in the collateral granted to Lender under any of the Loan Documents, whether or not any promise by Lender is for any cause void or voidable by Lender at its option;

Exhibit C to Term Loan and Security Agreement

 
 
(f)
the addition of, or release of, any and all other endorsers, guarantors, obligors and other persons liable under the Loan Documents and/or release of the security or any portion thereof or acceptance of additional security for the performance of the obligations under the Loan Documents;

(l)
to the extent permitted by law, any failure of Lender to give notice of sale or other disposition of any collateral to Borrower or Guarantor or any other person or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any sale or disposition of collateral; and/or

 
(m)
to the extent permitted by law, any failure of Lender to comply with applicable laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any collateral or other security granted to Lender under the Loan Documents, including, without  limitation,  any failure of Lender to conduct a commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of any collateral or other security.
 

Provided that the specific enumeration of the above-mentioned acts, failures or omissions shall not be deemed to exclude any other acts, failures or omissions, though not specifically mentioned above, it being the purpose and intent of this paragraph that the obligations of Guarantor shall be absolute and unconditional to the extent herein specified and shall not be discharged, impaired or varied except by the payment of the principal of, prepayment fee (as defined in the Note), if any, and interest on the Note and any other payments due under the Note, the Mortgage and the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms thereof, and then only to the extent of such payment. Without limiting any of the other terms or provisions hereof, it is understood and agreed that in order to hold Guarantor liable hereunder, there shall be no obligation on the part of Lender or any other holder of the Note to resort in any manner or form for payment to Borrower, to any other person, firm or corporation, their properties or estates. All rights of Lender or any other holder of the Note hereunder may be transferred or assigned at any time or from time to time and shall be considered to be transferred or assigned at any time or from time to time upon the transfer of the Note, whether with or without the consent of or notice to Guarantor or to Borrower.

Exhibit C to Term Loan and Security Agreement
 

Guarantor also agrees that to the extent Borrower makes any payment on the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, which payment or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, voided, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, or is required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other person under any bankruptcy code, common law, or equitable cause, then and to the extent of such payment, Borrower’s obligation or the part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect with respect to Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, as if said payment had not been made. The liability of  Guarantor hereunder shall not be reduced or discharged, in whole or in part, by any payment to Lender from any source, that Lender thereafter pays, returns or refunds in whole or in part by reason of the assertion of a claim of any kind relating thereto, including, but not limited to, any claim for breach of contract, breach of warranty, preference, illegality, invalidity, or fraud asserted by any account debtor or by any other person.
 
To the extent permitted by law,  Lender may, at its election, exercise any right or remedy it may have against Borrower, Guarantor or any other person or any security held by Lender, including, without limitation, the right to foreclose upon any such security by one or more foreclosure sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of Guarantor hereunder, except to the extent the indebtedness has been paid, and Guarantor hereby waives any defense arising out of the absence, impairment or loss of any right of reimbursement, contribution or subrogation or any other right or remedy of Guarantor against Borrower or any other person or any such security whether resulting from such election by Lender or otherwise. Guarantor hereby waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of Borrower or any other person or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including without limitation any intervention or omission by Lender) of any obligation or liability, either in whole or in part, of Borrower to Lender. Guarantor understands and agrees that if all or any part of any obligation or liability of Borrower to Lender is secured by real property, Guarantor shall be obligated and liable for the full amount of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder notwithstanding foreclosure of such real property by trustee sale, judicial sale or any other reason impairing the right of Guarantor to proceed against Borrower.

 
SECTION 2.3                     ADDITIONAL WAIVERS OF GUARANTOR.
 
 
(a)
Financial Condition of Borrower.   Guarantor acknowledges that this is a continuing Guaranty Agreement and that Guarantor expressly promises to pay and perform each and every one of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. Guarantor is fully aware of the operating history of the Premises and the status of the Borrower Collateral. Guarantor delivers this Guaranty Agreement based solely upon Guarantor’s independent investigation of Borrower’s financial condition, and Guarantor assumes full responsibility for obtaining any further information concerning Borrower’s financial condition. Guarantor agrees that Guarantor is now and, during the term of this Guaranty Agreement, will be responsible for being fully aware of the financial condition of Borrower, the Borrower Collateral and the Premises. Guarantor knowingly accepts the full range of risk encompassed in a contract of continuing guaranty, which risk includes, but is not limited to, the possibility that Borrower’s financial condition or its ability to pay its debts as they mature has deteriorated.
 
 
(b)
Waiver of Notice. Guarantor hereby waives: (i) presentment and protest, and waives notice of presentment, protest, dishonor, non-payment, non-performance and any similar notice, and waives any delay thereto, with respect to the Loan Documents or any instruments or documents at any time held by Lender in connection with this Guaranty Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (ii) notice of extension, modification, refunding, amendment, addition or supplement to, deletion or departure from, or breach of any of the terms of the Loan Documents (other than this Guaranty Agreement) or the other Loan Documents or any other agreement that may be made relating hereto or thereto; (iii) notice of the occurrence of any default hereunder or the occurrence of any default or Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents, any compromise, release, consent, or other action or inaction with respect to the collateral granted to Lender under any of the Loan Documents or any of the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents; (iv) notice with respect to any exercise or non- exercise by Lender, or any right, power, or remedy under or in respect of the Loan Documents or any security, lien, deposit, pledge, or guaranty held in connection with the liabilities of Borrower under the Loan Documents; (v) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty Agreement and notice that credit has been extended by Lender  in reliance on Guarantor’s guaranty of the obligations of Borrower; (vi) any defense based upon an election of remedies by Lender whether or not the right of Guarantor to proceed against Borrower for reimbursement is affected; (vii) to the extent Guarantor may lawfully do so, any defense based upon any statute or rule which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; and (viii) all defenses which Borrower may now or hereafter have to the payment of the obligations under the Loan Documents which could otherwise be asserted by Guarantor in any defense (other than payment) of any kind which  Guarantor may now or hereafter have with respect to any of the Loan Documents, any other guaranty, or any other collateral securing the obligations under the Loan Documents.
 
 
(c)
Waiver of Rights of Subrogation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere contained herein or in any other Loan Document, Guarantor until one year and one day from the payment and full satisfaction of all amounts due Lender under the Loan Documents and the performance and payment of the Indebtedness Guaranteed, hereby
expressly waives with respect to Borrower and any other person, any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, to reimbursement, to exoneration, to contribution, to indemnification, to setoff or to any other rights that could accrue to a surety against a principal, to a guarantor against a maker or obligor, to an accommodation party against the party accommodated, or to a holder or transferee against a maker, and which Guarantor may have or hereafter acquire against Borrower or any other person in connection with or as a result of Guarantor’s execution, delivery and/or performance of this Guaranty Agreement or any other Loan Document. Guarantor agrees that Guarantor shall not have or assert any such rights against Borrower or its successors and assigns or any other person (including any surety), either directly or as an attempted setoff to any action commenced against Guarantor by Borrower (as borrower or in any other capacity) or by Lender or by any other person.
 

Guarantor agrees that to the extent that such claims are not subordinated, by operation of law or otherwise, such claims of Guarantor are hereby subordinated as a claim against Borrower or any of its assets, whether such claim be in the ordinary course of business or in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, insolvency or bankruptcy, so that no payment with respect to any such indebtedness, claim or liability will be made or received while any portion of the obligations under the Loan Documents remains due and unpaid, and if any such payment is received by Guarantor, it shall be held in trust for the benefit of Lender and then promptly paid over to Lender for application to the payment of the obligations under the Loan Documents.
 
 
 
 
 
5

 
 
 
Exhibit C to Term Loan and Security Agreement
 
 
 

 
(d)
Independent Obligations, and Waivers. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder are independent of and are not co-extensive with the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents. A separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted by Lender against Guarantor whether or not an action is brought against Borrower or Borrower is joined in any such action or actions and Guarantor’s liability hereunder may be enforced regardless of the existence, validity, enforcement  or  non- enforcement of any such other guaranties or other obligations. Any cause of action that Lender may have against Guarantor shall accrue upon the date Lender makes demand on Guarantor for payment of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor expressly waives the benefit of any statute of limitations, any moratorium, reinstatement, marshaling, forbearance, valuation, stay, extension, redemption, appraisement, exemption and homestead now provided, or which may hereafter be provided, by the Constitution or laws of the United States of America or the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, both as to itself and to all of its property, real and personal, affecting the liabilities under the Loan Documents or otherwise and expressly agrees that the running of a period of limitation on, or any delay or omission in, Lender’s action against Borrower or in Lender’s enforcement of remedies against Borrower, the collateral granted to Lender under any of the Loan Documents, or any security interest or lien held for  the liabilities under the Loan Documents shall not exonerate or affect Guarantor’s absolute obligation to pay and perform in full Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.

 
(e)
Bankruptcy and Related Waivers. Guarantor hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) any defense arising as a result of Lender’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the United States Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, (ii) any defense based on any borrowing or grant or a security interest under Section 364 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, (iii) any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, (iv) any agreement or stipulation with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding of any person, (v) the avoidance of any lien in favor of Lender for any reason, and (vi) any objection to or defense arising as a result of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding commenced by or against Borrower or any other person, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the liabilities hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents.
 
 
(f)
Understandings With Respect to Waivers and Consents. Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers and consents of Guarantor set forth in this Guaranty Agreement are made after consultation with legal counsel and with full knowledge of their significance and consequences, with the understanding that events giving rise to any defense or right waived may diminish, destroy or otherwise adversely affect rights which Guarantor otherwise may have against Borrower, Lender or any other person or against the Premises or the Borrower Collateral, and that, under the circumstances, the waivers and consents herein given are reasonable and not contrary to public policy or law. If any of the waivers or consents herein is determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such waivers and consents shall be effective to the maximum extent permitted by law.

In the event of any damage to or loss or destruction of the Collateral, (i) Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of such event and take such steps as shall be necessary to preserve any undamaged portion of the Collateral and (ii) if, pursuant to Section 3.7(b), the insurance proceeds are applied to the restoration, replacement, or rebuilding of such Collateral (but regardless whether such insurance proceeds, if any, shall be sufficient for the purpose), Borrower shall promptly (and, in any event, prior to the date on which any lessee under any Lease shall be entitled to cancel or terminate said Lease because of any such damage, loss or destruction) commence and diligently pursue to completion the restoration, replacement, and rebuilding of the Collateral as nearly as possible to its value, condition, and character immediately prior to such damage, loss, or destruction and in accordance with plans and specifications approved, and with other provisions for the preservation of the security hereunder established, by Lender.

(b)            Lend er’s Rights; Application of Proceeds . In the event that any portion of the Collateral is so damaged, destroyed, or lost, and such damage, destruction, or loss is covered, in whole or in part, by insurance described in Section 3.6, then (i) Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower and is hereby authorized and empowered by Borrower to settle, adjust, or compromise any claims for damage, destruction, or loss thereunder; (ii) each insurance company concerned is hereby authorized and directed to make payment therefor directly to Lender; and (iii) Lender shall have the right to apply the insurance proceeds, first, to reimburse Lender for all costs and expenses, including adjustors’ and attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with the collection of such proceeds and, second, the remainder of such proceeds shall be applied, at Lender’s option, either (A) in payment of all or any part of the Obligations, whether or not then due and payable, in the order and manner determined by Lender (provided that to the extent that any Obligation shall remain outstanding after such application, such unpaid Obligation shall continue in full force and effect and Borrower shall not be excused in the payment thereof), or to the cure of any then current default hereunder; or (B) to the restoration, replacement, or rebuilding, in whole or in part, of the portion of the Collateral so damaged, destroyed, or lost, provided that any insurance proceeds held by Lender to be applied to the restoration, replacement, or rebuilding of the Premises shall be so held without payment or allowance of interest thereon and shall be paid out from time to time upon compliance by Borrower with such provisions and requirements as may be imposed by  Lender.    Notwithstanding  the  above,  after  reimbursement  of  Lender  for  all  costs  and expenses, including adjustors’ and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with the collection of such proceeds, the Lender shall allow Borrower to use the insurance proceeds for the restoration or replacement of the Collateral provided that (i) the proceeds total less than $50,000 for any single event of loss, or (ii) Lender shall reasonably determine that (a) the restoration or replacement of the Collateral can be completed prior to the Maturity Date (as defined in the Loan Agreement), (b) that the insurance proceeds will be sufficient to complete the restoration or, if the amount of the insurance proceeds is not sufficient to restore or replace the Collateral, Borrower deposits with Lender an amount equal to the difference between Lender’s estimated costs of such restoration or replacement and the amount of the insurance proceeds, and (c) the Collateral will be restored or replaced such that the fair market value (as reasonably determined by Lender) of the Collateral shall be at least equal to the pre-casualty value. In the event that Borrower shall have received all or any portion of such insurance proceeds, or any other proceeds in respect of such damage or destruction, Borrower, upon demand from Lender, shall pay to Lender an amount equal to the amount so received by Borrower, to be applied pursuant to this section. Notwithstanding anything herein or at law or in equity to the contrary, none of the insurance proceeds or payments in lieu thereof paid to Lender as herein provided shall be deemed trust funds, and Lender shall be entitled to dispose of such proceeds as provided in this Section. Borrower expressly assumes all risk of loss, including a decrease in the use, enjoyment, or value of the Collateral, from any casualty whatsoever, whether or not insurable or insured against.

Lender may participate in any such proceedings (but shall not be obligated to do so), and Borrower from time to time will execute and deliver to Lender all instruments requested by Lender or as may be required to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, shall deliver to Lender copies of all papers served in connection therewith, and shall consult and cooperate with Lender, its attorneys and agents, in the carrying on and defense of any such proceedings; provided that no settlement of any such proceeding shall be made by Borrower without Lender’s prior written consent.

Section 3.11                      Tax and Insurance Deposits.
 
(a)           Monthly Deposits. Upon Lender’s request after and during the continuance of a Material Adverse Effect or an Event of Default, Borrower shall deposit with Lender in a non-interest bearing account, or at Lender’s request, with its servicing agent, on the first day of each and every month, commencing with the date the next payment of interest and/or principal and interest shall become due under the Note, a deposit to pay the Assessments (as defined in Section 3.3 hereof) and insurance premiums which will next become due on the insurance policies required by this Security Instrument (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Charges”) in an amount equal to:
 
(i)           One-twelfth (1/12th) of the annual Assessments next to become due upon the Collateral; provided that, with the first such deposit, there shall be deposited in addition an amount as estimated by Lender which, when added to monthly deposits to be made thereafter as provided for herein, shall assure to Lender’s satisfaction that there will be sufficient funds on deposit to pay the Impositions as they come due; plus

(ii)           One-twelfth (1/12th) of the annual premiums on each policy of insurance required to be maintained by this Security Instrument; provided that with the first such deposit there shall be deposited, in addition, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of such annual insurance premiums multiplied by the number of months elapsed between the date premiums on each policy were last paid to and including the date of deposit, provided that the amount of such deposits shall be based upon Lender’s estimate as to the amount of Assessments and insurance premiums next to be payable and may require that the full amount of such payment will be available to Lender at least one month in advance of the due date. Prior to the payment due dates, Borrower shall obtain the original Assessments and insurance premiums bills and forward them immediately to Lender upon Borrower’s receipt thereof.  Lender will, upon timely presentation to Lender by the Borrower of the bills therefor, pay the Charges from such deposits directly to the taxing authority or the insurance carrier as the case may be, or return such amount to the Borrower so it can make such payments. In the event the deposits on hand shall not be sufficient to pay all of the estimated Charges when the same shall become due from time to time, or the prior deposits shall be less than the currently estimated monthly amounts, then the Borrower shall immediately pay to Lender on demand any amount necessary to make up the deficiency. The excess of any such deposits shall be credited towards subsequent Charges.
 
(b)           Use of Deposits. Except to the extent required by applicable law, all funds so deposited shall, until so applied, constitute additional security for the Obligations, shall be held by Lender in a separate escrow account, shall not be commingled with other funds of Lender, and, provided that no Event of Default (as defined in Section 6.1) shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder, shall be applied in payment of the aforesaid amounts prior to their becoming delinquent, but only to the extent that Lender shall have such funds on hand, provided that Lender shall not have any obligation to use said funds to pay (i) any installment of Assessments prior to the last day on which payment thereof may be made without penalty or interest, or to pay any insurance premium prior to the due date thereof; or (ii) any of the aforesaid amounts unless Lender shall have been furnished with the bills or invoices therefor in sufficient time to pay the same before any penalty or interest attaches and before said policies of insurance lapse, as the case may be. If an Event of Default shall have occurred  and  be continuing hereunder, or if the Obligations shall be accelerated as herein provided, all funds so deposited may, at Lender’s option, be applied to the Obligations in the order determined by Lender or to cure said Event of Default or as provided in this Section. In no event shall Borrower claim any credit against the principal and interest due hereunder for any payment or deposit for taxes or insurance. Neither Lender nor its servicing agent shall be liable for any act or omission made or taken in good faith. In making any payments, Lender or its servicing agent may rely on any statement, bill or estimate procured from or issued by the payee without inquiry into the validity or accuracy of the same. If the taxes shown in the tax statement shall be levied on property more extensive than the Collateral, Lender shall be under no duty to seek a tax division or apportionment of the tax bill, and any payment of taxes based on a larger parcel shall be paid by the Borrower, the deposits to be made hereunder shall be based on the larger tax parcel and the Borrower shall expeditiously cause a tax subdivision to be made.

(c)           Transfer of Security Instrument. Upon an assignment or other transfer of this Security Instrument, Lender shall have the right to pay over the balance of such deposits in its possession to the assignee or other successor, and Lender shall thereupon be completely released from all liability with respect to such deposits, and Borrower or the owner of the Collateral shall look solely to the assignee or transferee with respect thereto.

(a)           Maintenance of Records. Borrower shall keep and maintain at all times complete and accurate books of accounts and records in sufficient detail to correctly reflect the results of the operation of the Premises and copies of all written contracts, Leases and other instrument which affect the Premises (including but not limited to all bills, invoices and contracts for electrical service, gas service, water and sewer service, waste management service, telephone service and management services). Borrower shall allow Lender or its authorized representatives at all reasonable times upon prior notice, at Borrower’s expense, to examine and make copies of all such books and records and all supporting data therefor at Borrower’s principal place of business, at the Premises or at such other place where such books, records, and data may be located.

If such a property manager is so required by the Lender, Borrower shall immediately seek to appoint a property manager acceptable to the Lender. Such newly appointed property manager shall enter into a property management agreement with Borrower satisfactory to the Lender.

Section 7.11 WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY AND CERTAIN DAMAGES. BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM FILED BY EITHER PARTY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, RELATING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THE LOAN EVIDENCED BY THE NOTE, THIS SECURITY INSTRUMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF LENDER IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. FURTHER, BORROWER WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER, IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS SECTION IS A SPECIFIC AND MATERIAL ASPECT OF THIS SECURITY INSTRUMENT AND THAT LENDER WOULD NOT EXTEND CREDIT TO BORROWER IF THE WAIVERS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION WERE NOT A PART OF THIS SECURITY INSTRUMENT. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY BORROWER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. LENDER IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY BORROWER.
 

Section 7.12 CROSS DEFAULT AND CROSS COLLATERAL. In furtherance of prior provisions hereof, Borrower agrees and acknowledge that the occurrence of an Event of Default under the terms of this Security Instrument shall constitute an Event of Default under the Note, the Loan Agreement, and the other Loan Documents and under the documents evidencing any other loan now existing or hereafter made by Lender to Borrower which is secured by all or any portion of the Premises or other Collateral. The security interests, liens and other rights and interests in and relative to any of the Collateral now or hereafter granted to Lender by Borrower by or in any instrument or agreement, including but not limited to this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents shall serve as security for any and all liabilities of Borrower to Lender, including but not limited to the liabilities described in this Security Instrument, the Note, the Loan Agreement, and the other Loan Documents and, for the repayment thereof, Lender may resort to any security held by it in such order and manner as it may elect.

Section 7.13 Principles of Construction. In the event of any inconsistencies between the terms and conditions of this Section 7 and the terms and conditions of this Security Instrument, the terms and conditions of this Section 7 shall control and be binding.

Section 7.14 Interest Rate. Notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary, in case the interest rate provided for in the Loan Documents at any time exceeds the maximum rate of interest allowed under applicable law, during such time the rate of interest provided for in the Loan Documents shall be reduced to the maximum rate allowed by such law, and the payments required hereunder shall be reduced accordingly.
Section 7.15 Maximum Interest. The provisions of this Security Instrument and of all agreements between Borrower and Lender, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of demand or acceleration of the maturity of the Note or otherwise, shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or retention of the money loaned under the Note (“Interest”) exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, performance or fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any agreement between Borrower and Lender shall, at the time performance or fulfillment of such provision shall be due, exceed the limit for Interest prescribed by law or otherwise transcend the limit of validity prescribed by applicable law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be performed or fulfilled shall be reduced to such limit, and if, from any circumstance whatsoever, Lender shall ever receive anything of value deemed Interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive Interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance owing under the Note in the inverse order of its maturity (whether or not then due) or, at the option of Lender, be paid over to Borrower, and not to the payment of Interest. All Interest (including any amounts or payments deemed to be Interest) paid or agreed to be paid to Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal balance of the Note so that the Interest thereon for such full period will not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. This Section will control all agreements between Borrower and Lender.

For payment of the Obligations, Lender may resort to any other security in such order and manner as Lender may elect.

Section 7.19 Waiver of Redemption, Notice and Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and releases (i) all benefit that might accrue to Borrower by virtue of any present or future statute of limitations or law or judicial decision exempting the Collateral from attachment, levy or sale on execution or providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay of execution, exemption from civil process, redemption or extension of time for payment, (ii) all notices of any Event of Default or of Lender’s election to exercise or its actual exercise of any right, remedy or recourse provided for under the Loan Documents, except as specifically required by the terms of this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, and (iii) any right to a marshalling of assets or a sale in inverse order of alienation.
 
Section 7.20 Discontinuance of Proceedings. If Lender shall  have  proceeded  to invoke any right, remedy or recourse permitted under the Loan Documents and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon it for any reason, Lender shall have the unqualified right to do so and, in such an event, Borrower and Lender shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Obligations, the Loan Documents, the Collateral and otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of Lender shall continue as if the right, remedy or recourse had never been invoked, but no such discontinuance or abandonment shall waive any Event of Default which may then exist or the right of Lender thereafter to exercise any right, remedy or recourse under the Loan Documents for such Event of Default.

Section 7.21 No Mortgagee in Possession. Neither the enforcement of any of the remedies under this Security Instrument nor any other remedies afforded to Lender under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity, shall cause Lender to be deemed or construed to be a mortgagee in possession of the Collateral, to obligate Lender to lease the Collateral or attempt to do so, or to take any action, incur any expense, or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability whatsoever under any of the Leases or otherwise.

Section 7.22 Massachusetts Statutory References. This Security Instrument is intended to constitute: (i) a mortgage deed under Massachusetts General Laws c. 183, §18, (ii) a security agreement and financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and (iii) a notice of assignment of rents or profits under Massachusetts General Laws C. 183 §4. This Security Instrument is also intended to operate and be construed as an absolute present assignment of the rents, issues and profits of the Premises, Lender hereby agreeing, as provided for in Massachusetts General Laws C. 183, §26, that Borrower is entitled to receive the rents, issues and profits of the Premises prior to an Event of Default and without entering upon or taking possession of the Premises.

Section 7.23 Statutory Condition. This Security Instrument is granted by Borrower WITH MORTGAGE COVENANTS, and upon the STATUTORY CONDITION, and upon the further condition that all covenants and agreements of, and conditions imposed upon, the Borrower contained herein and in the Note and the other obligations secured hereby shall be kept and fully performed, for any breach of which that is not cured within the applicable cure period following the giving of notice thereof if required, Lender shall have the STATUTORY POWER of sale.

Section 7.24                      Security Agreement.
 
(a)           Insofar as any item of property included in the Collateral which is or might be deemed to be “personal property” is concerned, this Security Instrument is hereby made and declared to be a security agreement, granting a security interest in and to each and every item of Collateral in compliance with the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. A financing statement or statements reciting this Security Instrument to be a security agreement, covering all of the Collateral, shall be executed by Borrower and Lender and appropriately filed.  Borrower further covenants and agrees that from time to time upon the request of Lender, Borrower shall (i) provide Lender with a precise inventory of the same, as and when acquired, (ii) execute and deliver to Lender, in form appropriate for recording and filing, a more comprehensive security agreement, and financing statements, on all such Collateral, (iii) provide to Lender such other assurances as may reasonably be required by Lender to establish Lender’s security interest in such Collateral subject to the Permitted Liens, and (iv) execute, deliver and cause to be recorded and filed from time to time and at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, continuances and such other instruments as will maintain Lender’s priority of security in the Collateral. The remedies for any violation of the covenants, terms and condition of the security agreement herein contained (which violation is not cured within the applicable cure period(s) provided herein) shall be (i) as prescribed herein, or (ii) as prescribed by general law, or (iii) as prescribed by the specific statutory consequences now or hereafter enacted and specified in said Uniform Commercial Code, all at Lender’s sole election. Borrower and Lender agree that the filing of such financing statement(s) in the records normally having to do with personal property shall never be construed as in any way derogating from or impairing this declaration and hereby stated intention of Borrower and Lender that everything used in connection with the product of income from the Collateral and/or adapted for use therein and/or which is described or reflected in this Security Instrument, is, and at all times and for all purposes and in all proceedings both legal or equitable shall be, regarded as part of the real estate irrespective of whether (i) any such item is physically attached to the Premises or the Improvements, (ii) serial numbers are used for the better identification of certain items capable of being thus identified in a recital contained herein, or (iii) any such financing statement(s) so filed at any time. Similarly, the mention in any such financing statement(s) of the rights in and to the proceeds of any hazard insurance policy, or any award in eminent domain proceedings for a taking or for the loss of value, or interest as lessor in any present or future lease or rights to income growing out of the use and/or occupancy of the Premises, whether pursuant to lease or otherwise, shall never be construed as in any way altering any of the rights of Lender as determined by this instrument or impugning the priority of Lender’s lien granted hereby or by any other recorded document, but such mention in such financing statement(s) is declared to be for the protection of Lender in the event any court shall at any time hold, with respect to any such matter, that notice of Lender’s priority of interest, to be effective against a particular class of persons, must be filed in the Uniform Commercial Code records. Borrower warrants that (i) Borrower’s (that is, “Debtor’s”) name, identity or organizational structure and residence or principal place of business are as set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto and by this reference made a party hereof; (ii) Borrower (that is, “Debtor”) has been using or operating under said name, identity or organizational structure without change for the time period set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof; and (iii) the location of all Collateral constituting fixtures is upon the Premises. Borrower covenants and agrees that Borrower will furnish Lender with notice of any change in name, identity, organizational structure, residence or principal place of business within (30) days of the effective date of any such change and Borrower will promptly execute any financing statements or other instruments deemed necessary by Lender to prevent any filed financing statement from becoming misleading or losing its perfected status. The information contained in this Section is provided in order that this Security Instrument shall comply with the requirements of the Uniform Commercial Code, as enacted in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, for instruments to be filed as financing statements. The names of the “Debtor” and the “Secured Party” and the identity of the organizational structure of each such party, are as set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof; the mailing address of the “Secured Party” from which information concerning the security interest may be obtained, and the mailing address of “Debtor”, are as set forth in said  Exhibit C attached hereto; and a statement indicating the types, or describing the items, of Collateral is set forth in the Security Instrument.

(b)           Any sale or other disposition of the Collateral may be at public or private sale, to the extent such private sale is authorized under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, upon such terms and in such manner as Lender deems advisable. Lender may conduct any such sale or other disposition of the Collateral upon the Premises in which event Lender shall not be liable for any rent or charge for such use of the Premises. Lender may purchase the Collateral, or any portion of it, at any sale held under this Section. With respect to any Collateral to be sold pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code, Lender shall give Borrower at least seven (7) days’ prior written notice of the date, time and place of any proposed public sale, or such additional notice as may be required under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and of the date after which any private sale or other disposition may be made. Lender may sell any of the Collateral as part of the real estate comprising the Collateral, or any portion or unit thereof, at the foreclosure sale or sales conducted pursuant hereto. If the provisions of the Uniformed Commercial Code are applicable to any part of the Collateral which is to be sold in combination with or as part of the real estate comprising the Collateral, or any part thereof, at one or more foreclosure sales, any notice required under such provisions shall be fully satisfied by the notice given in execution of the STATUTORY POWER OF SALE with respect to the real estate or any part thereof. In the event all or part of the Collateral is included at any foreclosure sale conducted pursuant hereto, a single total price for the Collateral, or such part thereof as is sold, may be accepted by Lender with no obligation to distinguish between the application of such proceeds among the property comprising the Collateral.
 

Section 7.25                      SEAL.  This Security Instrument is executed under “SEAL”.

 
NOW, THEREFORE, if Borrower shall pay all sums secured by this Security Instrument and fully comply with the conditions of this Security Instrument, then this Security Instrument shall be null and void, otherwise to remain in full force and effect.

INTERCREDITOR AND SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT
 

THIS  INTERCREDITOR  AND  SUBORDINATION  AGREEMENT  (this “Agreement”) made as of this day of December, 2014, between and among UTICA
LEASECO, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (the “Senior Creditor”), REVERE HIGH YIELD FUND, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Subordinated Creditor”), and RANOR, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Debtor”) agree as follows:
 
BACKGROUND

A.           On or about May 28, 2014, the Senior Creditor extended a commercial loan to Debtor in the original principal amount of Four Million One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($4,150,000.00) pursuant to the terms of a Loan and Security Agreement and other loan documents executed and delivered by Debtor to and for the benefit of the Senior Creditor (including all extensions, modifications and renewals thereto and collectively referred to herein as the “Senior Debt Documents”). The loan made by the Senior Creditor to the Debtor is referred to herein as the “Senior Debt”.

B.           Subordinated Creditor has agreed to extend two commercial loans to Debtor in the aggregate amount of $2,250,000.00, which debt will be secured by, among other things, various security agreements in the Debtor’s personal property executed and delivered by Debtor to and for the benefit of the Subordinated Creditor (including all extensions, modifications and renewals thereto and referred to herein as the “Subordinated Debt Documentation”).

C.           As security for the Senior Debt, the Debtor granted to the Senior Creditor a security interest in certain personal property of Debtor set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Collateral”).

D.           The loans by Subordinated Creditor to the  Debtor (the “Revere Debt”) are secured by, among other things, a security interest in certain business assets of Debtor, which security interest will be perfected by the filing of a UCC-1 Financing Statement with the State of Delaware, and State of Massachusetts (collectively the “UCC Filings”) with respect to the Collateral.

E.           Subordinated Creditor, Senior Credit and Debtor wish to enter into this Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement for the purposes of setting forth the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to the Collateral.

NOW THEREFORE, the Senior Creditor, the Subordinated Creditor and Debtor agree as follows:

1.           The Subordinated Creditor acknowledges and agrees that its lien in the Collateral, and any proceeds thereof, evidenced by the Subordinated Debt Documentation is subordinate to the lien of the Senior Debt evidenced by the Senior Debt Documents. Upon the execution of this Agreement, Subordinated Creditor will file UCC-1 Financing Statements with the Secretary of State of Delaware and Massachusetts, at Debtor’s expense, evidencing the subordination of its lien against the Collateral to the lien of the Senior Creditor in the Collateral, and Senior Creditor recognizes Subordinated Creditor’s subordinate lien in the Collateral.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
Exhibit E to Term Loan and Security Agreement

 
2. The Subordinated Creditor agrees that, so long as any Senior Debt remains outstanding:
 
a.           In the event Subordinated Creditor receives proceeds from the Collateral, Subordinated Creditor shall hold such proceeds in trust for the benefit of Senior Creditor, and shall pay such proceeds over to Senior Creditor upon the earlier to occur of (i) demand from Senior Creditor, or (ii) actual notice that the payment received represents proceeds of the Collateral; and
 
b.           Subordinated Creditor shall provide the Senior Creditor written notice of the occurrence of an event of default under the Subordinated Creditor Documents; however, Subordinated Creditor agrees that so long as the Senior Debt remains outstanding, the Subordinated Creditor shall not exercise for any reason, any right or remedy it maintains against the Collateral under the Subordinated Debt Documents for the collection of the Revere Debt.

3.           To the extent all or some of the Collateral is located on property that Subordinated Creditor has a mortgage upon (the “Mortgaged Property”), upon receiving notice of an event of default under the Senior Creditor Documents, Subordinated Creditor agrees that it will not interpose  any objection or hindrance to  Senior Creditor  entering upon  the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of taking possession of the Collateral pursuant to the terms of that certain Mortgagee Disclaimer and Consent Agreement executed by  Subordinated Creditor and Senior Creditor, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Mortgagee Waiver”). Nothing contained in this Agreement shall in any way affect Subordinated Creditor’s right to commence any action against the Mortgaged Property, including foreclosure or accepting a deed in lieu of foreclosure and following which to enforce all of its rights of ownership with respect to the Mortgaged Property, subject to the Senior Creditor’s right to occupancy as set forth in the Mortgagee Waiver.

4.           Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as defined in the Senior Debt Documents and after prior written notice to the Subordinated Creditor, the Senior Creditor may exercise any right or remedy it maintains against the Debtor and/or the Collateral including, but not limited to, the commencement of any legal proceeding or other proceedings  for  the collection of the Senior Debt. In the event the Collateral is sold by Senior Creditor:

a.           Subordinated Creditor (i) will not assert any claim for marshaling of Debtor’s assets, (ii) consents to the collection or sale of the Collateral by Senior Creditor free and clear of Subordinating Creditor’s security interest or lien, and (iii) waives any claims contesting the commercial reasonableness of any sales of the Collateral that are not raised within ten (10) days of its receipt of written notice of the terms and conditions of any agreement or proposal for the disposition of the Collateral (provided that any such proposal subsequently is substantially embodied within an agreement).

b.           The Senior Creditor agrees that the proceeds of such sale in excess of the Senior Debt shall be held in trust for the benefit of Subordinated Creditor and Senior Creditor shall pay such proceeds over to Subordinated Creditor within five (5) business days from Senior Creditor’s receipt of written documentation that (i) Subordinated Creditor’s debt equals or exceeds such proceeds, and (ii) there has not been any tax lien filed by any governmental  authority  after  the  date  of  this  Agreement. In  the  event  that  Subordinated Creditor’s debt is less than such proceeds, then upon satisfaction of subparagraph (ii), Senior Creditor shall pay such proceeds to Subordinated Creditor only to the extent of Subordinated Creditors debt.

5.           Notice to Subordinated Creditor. The Senior Creditor shall promptly notify the Subordinated Creditor as provided herein of each of the following events:

a.           Any notice which the Senior Creditor may give to the Debtor regarding any breach of Senior Credit Documents, or any termination of the Debtor’s right to use, lease or possess the Collateral;

b.           Any legal action which the Senior Creditor may commence to collect on the Senior Debt;

c.           Any agreement or proposal for the Debtor to voluntarily convey to the Senior Creditor title to all or any portion of the Collateral; and
 
d. Any agreement or proposal for the disposition of the Collateral.
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
Exhibit E to Term Loan and Security Agreement


6.           No action which the Senior Creditor may take or refrain from taking with respect to the Senior Debt, or the Senior Debt Documents or the Collateral, including a waiver or release thereof, or any agreement or agreements in connection therewith, shall affect this Agreement or the obligations of the Subordinated Creditor provided for herein.

7.           The Senior Creditor understands and acknowledges that an Event of Default under the Senior Debt Documents constitutes a Default under the Subordinated Debt Documentation. The Subordinated Creditor understands and acknowledges that an Event of Default under the Subordinated Debt Documentation constitutes a Default under the Senior Debt Documents.

8.           This Agreement and its terms shall in no way be affected or impaired by, and Subordinating Creditor hereby irrevocably consents to, without notice: (a) additional credit being extended from Senior Creditor to Debtor during the term of this Agreement, provided the total outstanding principal obligations from Debtor to Senior Creditor shall not exceed Four Million One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($4,150,000.00) plus accrued interest, late charges, legal fees and costs and any protective advances made by Senior Creditor; (b) any amendment, alteration, extension, renewal, waiver, indulgence or other modification of the Senior Debt Documents; (c) any settlement or compromise in connection with the Senior Debt Documents or the Senior Debt; (d) any substitution, exchange, release or other disposition of all or any part of the Senior Debt Documents or the Senior Debt; (e) any failure, delay, neglect, act or omission by Senior Creditor to act in connection with the Senior Debt Documents or the Senior Debt; (f) any advances for the purpose of performing or curing any term or covenant contained in the Senior Debt Documents or with respect to the Senior Debt to which Debtor shall be or would otherwise be in default; and (g) any other matter similar to the foregoing. The obligations and agreements of Subordinated Creditor shall be unconditional, notwithstanding any defect in the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Senior Debt or the Senior Debt Documents or any other circumstances unless specifically referred to herein, which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or a defense to Subordinating Creditor. With regard to subsection (c), pursuant to any settlement or compromise in connection with the Senior Debt Documents under which Senior Creditor takes possession of the Collateral, Senior Creditor agrees to enter into an auction agreement providing for: (i) a guaranteed purchase price with a sharing of excess auction proceeds or (ii) a public (including internet) sale of the Collateral, in a commercially reasonable manner.

9.           No waiver shall be deemed to be made by Senior Creditor or Subordinated Creditor of any of their rights under this Agreement unless the same shall be in writing and then only with respect to the specific instance involved.

10.           The Subordinated Creditor shall not transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Revere Debt except to a transferee who agrees to become a party to this Agreement. Likewise, Senior Creditor shall not transfer sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Senior Debt except to a transferee who agrees to become a party to this Agreement.

11.           Any notices required to be sent pursuant to this Agreement to either the Senior Creditor or the Subordinated Creditor shall be sent by overnight courier, hand delivery, or certified mail, return requested to the following:

MORTGAGEE’S DISCLAIMER AND CONSENT
 

To induce Utica Leaseco, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (the “Lender”), to continue to extend credit to or for the benefit of Ranor, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), secured by certain machinery, vehicles, equipment and other personal property of the Borrower’s (collectively, “Collateral”), as more fully described on the attached Exhibit A, and for other good and valuable consideration, Revere High Yield Fund, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Mortgagee”), hereby certifies and agrees for the benefit of the Lender, its participants, successors and assigns, as follows:

1.           Premises; Mortgage; Security Interest. The Mortgagee holds a mortgage lien on certain premises (the “Premises”) located in Worcester County, Massachusetts, and described in Exhibit B hereto, pursuant to a mortgage (the “Mortgage”), a true, correct and complete copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B. Mortgagee has a security interest in the Accounts and certain other collateral including the Collateral pursuant to a certain loan and security agreement (the “Agreement”) that is subordinated to the Lender’s security interest in the Collateral pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement dated December        , 2014 between Mortgagee and Lender.  The Mortgage and the Security Agreement are in full force and effect. The Mortgagee acknowledges that the Collateral does not consist of real estate fixtures secured by the Mortgage.

2.           Notices to Lender. The Mortgagee shall promptly notify the Lender as provided herein of each of the following events:

a.           Any notice which the Mortgagee may give to the Borrower regarding any breach of the Mortgage, or any termination of the Borrower’s rights to use, lease or possess the Premises;

 
b.           Any legal action which the Mortgagee may commence to foreclose the Borrower’s interests in the Premises or to appoint a receiver for the Premises; and

c.           Any agreement or proposal for the Borrower to voluntarily convey to the Mortgagee title to all or any portion of the Premises.

All notices to the Lender shall be deemed given when delivered to the Lender by overnight UPS, Federal Express or other national express or delivery service at 4425 Utica Road, Utica, Michigan 48317 with a copy via email on the same date to david.levy@uticaleaseco.com.
 
3.           Notice of Default; Right to Cure. The Mortgagee shall give notice to the Lender of any default(s) by the Borrower in its obligations under the Mortgage, and with respect to a monetary default only which is curable by the payment of money (a “Monetary Default”), the Mortgagee shall allow the Lender, at the Lender’s option and without obligation, a period of fifteen (15) days from the date the Lender receives notice of such Monetary Default(s) in which to cure or cause the Borrower to cure such Monetary Default(s). Any payments made by Lender to cure a Monetary Default shall not obligate Lender to cure any other Monetary Defaults of Borrower or cause this Agreement to be amended.

4.           Lender’s Right to Occupy Premises and Disposition of the Collateral. The Mortgagee hereby agrees that notwithstanding any default under the Mortgage by the Borrower, Lender has the right to enter into and remain in possession of the Premises for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days, commencing the day after Mortgagee provides Lender with written notice (i) via US mail at 44225 Utica Road, Utica, Michigan 48317; and (ii) via email at david.levy@uticaleaseco.com, that it has obtained possession of the Premises (through judicial foreclosure, foreclosure by advertisement, a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise and the passing of the mortgagor’s period of redemption), for the purpose of reclaiming the Collateral, including detaching, selling (by entering into an auction agreement providing for: (x) a guaranteed purchase price with a sharing of excess auction proceeds or (y) a public (including internet) sale of the Collateral, in a commercially reasonable manner on the Premises), and removing the Collateral from the Premises (the “Occupation Period”).

a.           During the Occupation Period and until the Lender has ceased its occupation of the Premises, the Lender will pay the Mortgagee a fee of Fifty Three Thousand Five Hundred ($53,500.00) Dollars per month or portion thereof. Lender and Mortgagee acknowledge that said fee includes premiums for liability and casualty insurance with respect to the Collateral and the Premises, real estate taxes, utilities and all other charges payable by Lender for its occupancy of the Premises. Mortgagee shall also maintain insurance on the Collateral and Premises during the Occupation Period consistent with the Borrower’s insurance.

b.           No payments by the Lender to the Mortgagee provided for herein shall cure any defaults of the Borrower under the Mortgage or the Security Agreement, nor shall such payments reinstate the Borrower’s rights to use or occupy the Premises.

c.           Lender has no liability for any obligations that arose or arise under the Mortgage or the Security Agreement between the Mortgagee and Borrower; provided, that the Lender shall reimburse the Mortgagee for any physical damage to the Premises caused by Lender, its agents or invitees, its Auctioneer or agents or invitees of its Auctioneer during the Occupation Period.

d.           The Mortgagee acknowledges that the Lender shall not be liable for any diminution in value of the Premises during the Occupation Period.
