INTERCREDITOR, SUBORDINATION AND STANDSTILL AGREEMENT
INTERCREDITOR, SUBORDINATION AND STANDSTILL AGREEMENT
thereof, or as a result of foreclosure of the Devens Property or the dissolution or winding up of Borrower’s business or the sale of the Devens Property or all or substantially all of Borrower’s assets (and including without limitation, any recoveries under the Guaranties), all distributions of proceeds of said collateral shall be first made to the Senior Lender until the Borrower’s obligations to the Senior Lender are paid in full, and thereafter to the Junior Lender. Each party agrees that should it receive any monies in contravention of this Agreement from the sale, liquidation, casualty or other disposition of, or as a result of its Loan Documents, in any collateral at any time during the term of this Agreement, it will (unless otherwise restricted or prohibited by law) hold the same in trust for and promptly pay over the same to the party entitled to receive such monies in accordance with the priorities of liens provided hereunder.
b. | The Junior Loan and the liens, if any, of any Junior Loan Documents shall, upon the execution hereof, be subject to and subordinate to the Senior Loan and liens of the Senior Loan Documents which shall at all times have priority over the Junior Loan and any Junior Loan Documents as to: |
i. | All monies due, and to become due, pursuant to the Senior Loan; |
ii. | All interest, including any default rate interest or late fees, which may become due and owing thereon with respect to the Senior Loan; |

In the event that Junior Lender shall accept or receive any funds or payments in contravention of this subsection, said amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Senior Lender and shall be paid over to the Senior Lender upon written demand therefore. Further, in the event the Junior Lender shall commence to exercise its remedies under the Junior Loan in contravention of this sub-section and the Junior Lender shall thereafter recover or receive any funds on account of the Junior Loan, said funds shall be paid over to the Senior Lender to the extent of its unpaid loan balance, interest or expenses with respect to the Senior Loan. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, so long as there is then no Event of Default under the Senior Loan Documents, the Borrower may pay, and the Junior Lender may receive on or about March 31, 2019 and on or about March 31, 2020, an annual principal payment of $3,000,000.00 plus interest accrued thereon under the Junior Loan Documents (without limiting the foregoing, it is expressly understood that Borrower may not make any prepayments or accelerated payments under the Junior Loan Documents). Provided further, the Junior Lender shall not receive, accept or |

INTERCREDITOR, SUBORDINATION AND STANDSTILL AGREEMENT
INTERCREDITOR, SUBORDINATION AND STANDSTILL AGREEMENT
demand principal or interest payments from the Borrower if there is then an Event of Default under the Senior Loan Documents about which Junior Lender has received notice (except for any default or event of default under the Junior Loan Documents for which no notice shall be required) and/or if any said payment creates or results in an Event of Default of any covenant contained in Section 5.12(b) (Minimum Debt Service Coverage), under the Senior Loan Document known as the Loan Agreement. As provided in this subsection 4(c), said payments shall immediately cease and terminate upon delivery by the Senior Lender to the Junior Lender of a Senior Default Notice. Provided, further, the Junior Lender shall not without the express written permission of the Senior Lender, exercised in its sole and exclusive discretion, exercise any remedy against Borrower under any Junior Loan Documents whether or not the Junior Lender has received a Senior Default Notice.

The Junior Lender acknowledges that it has received and reviewed with its counsel the Senior Loan Documents and fully understands the terms and obligations of the Borrower thereunder including, without limitation, the rates of interest on the Senior Loan. The Junior Lender acknowledges that a default under the Junior Loan shall be a default under the Senior Loan.

a. | If the Senior Lender conducts a foreclosure or liquidation, the Senior Lender shall provide the Junior Lender with copies of all demands, communications, correspondence and pleadings which relate to the Senior Lender’s conduct of such foreclosure or liquidation. |
b. | The proceeds of any foreclosure or liquidation shall be distributed in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 4 above. |

e. | The Senior Lender may, in its sole discretion, accelerate or demand payment of the Senior Loan and initiate or conduct a liquidation, foreclose upon, realize upon, or exercise any of the Senior Lender’s rights, powers and remedies with respect to the Devens Property or other collateral without the consent of the Junior Lender. |

g. | The Senior Lender and Junior Lender each hereby waive any and all rights to require the other to marshal any collateral or any part thereof covered by the Loan Documents upon any foreclosure or liquidation of the Devens Property or the collateral, nor shall the Senior Lender be required to first pursue or otherwise realize upon any other collateral (unconnected to the Devens Property) and/or pursue its right under any guarantees of the Senior Loan. The Senior Lender does hereby reserve its right to pursue all remedies afforded it under the Senior Loan Documents without affecting its rights hereunder. |
6. Distribution of Insurance Proceeds – In the event insurance proceeds are realized in any asset of the Borrower in which both the Senior Lender and the Junior Lender have a lien, the proceeds thereof shall be distributed in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 4 above.

In the event that the Senior Lender or the Junior Lender receives any insurance proceeds on any assets of the Borrower, the Senior Lender or the Junior Lender, as the case may be, to hold such proceeds in trust and to distribute such proceeds as provided herein.
