The Note, the Mortgage, the Mortgage Amendment, the First Modification Agreement and all other instruments and documents establishing, evidencing or securing the Loan are hereinafter referred to as to the “Loan Documents.”

D. WHEREAS, Borrower agrees that the Mortgage as amended by the Mortgage Amendment fully secures the Note and all of Borrower’s obligations under the Loan and the Loan Documents.

E. WHEREAS, Borrower has requested that the Bank (i) extend the maturity date of the Note; (ii) adjust the interest rate applicable to the Loan, and (iii) revise the schedule of payments of principal and interest and the Bank is willing to accommodate Borrower’s request, but only based upon and subject to the terms and conditions of this Modification Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and legal sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree that the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, the Note and the Mortgage, and the other Loan Documents are hereby amended as follows:

Any capitalized, undefined term used herein shall have the same meaning given such term in the Loan Documents.

The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the principal amount outstanding under the Loan as of September 26, 2013 is $7,703,367.57.

Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that, in addition to the foregoing, Borrower is liable to the Bank under the Loan Documents for all interest accruing pursuant to the Note and for all costs, expenses, and costs of collection (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) previously, now, or hereafter incurred by the Bank under or in connection with the Loan Documents.

The Note is hereby modified and amended as follows:

(i) The term of the Note shall be extended to September 26, 2023.

(ii) Commencing as of the date hereof until the Change Date (as defined below), the interest rate shall be fixed at the rate of four and 43/100 percent (4.43%) per annum. Thereafter, on September 26, 2018 (the “Change Date”), the interest rate will be adjusted to a per annum

2

fixed rate (to be applicable until the Maturity Date), equal to the aggregate of the FHLB Five Year Classic Regular Advance Rate (as defined below) quoted as of the Change Date plus two hundred forty (240) basis points. The term “FHLB Five Year Classic Regular Advance Rate” means, as of the date of any calculation or determination, the most recent published Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston Classic Regular Advance Rate for five (5) year maturities. In the event that the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston announces more than one “Classic Advance Rate” for the indicated term, the Classic Advance Rate selected by the Bank from those so announced (plus the spread) shall be the rate applicable hereto. In the event that the Change Date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the Change Date shall be deemed to occur on the first business day next following such Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday.

(iii) Principal and interest on the Note shall be repaid as follows:

Contemporaneously herewith, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Bank a Second Amended and Restated Commercial Real Estate Promissory Note so as to reflect the extension of the term of the Loan and the modification of the interest rate and payment schedule as set forth herein. Such Second Amended and Restated Commercial Real Estate Promissory Note (the “Replacement Note”) shall amend, restate and replace the Note in its entirety and shall constitute a “substitution”, “modification” and “replacement” of the Note, as said terms are used in the Mortgage, but the Replacement Note shall not be evidence of satisfaction of indebtedness owed by the Borrower to the Bank. Further, any and all references to the “Note” in any and all of the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, the Mortgage, shall include and also refer to the Replacement Note, as it may be amended in writing from time to time hereafter.

The Mortgage is hereby amended, to the extent necessary, to amend, ratify and confirm that the obligations of the Borrower under (i) this Modification Agreement, and (ii) the

3

Replacement Note, in its original form and as modified and amended hereby, and, in each case, as the same may be further amended and modified and any further extensions, renewals, substitutions, modifications or replacements thereof are included with the definition of Liabilities (as defined in the Mortgage) secured by the Mortgage. Borrower ratifies, confirms and agrees that the Replacement Note, constitutes a “modification” of the Note, as such term is used in the Mortgage.

Each and every reference in the Loan Documents to the Mortgage shall be deemed to refer to and include the Mortgage as amended by this Modification Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, contemporaneously herewith, to incorporate the terms and provisions of this Modification Agreement, Borrower shall execute and deliver an amendment to the Mortgage (the “Mortgage Amendment”), in form and substance satisfactory to the Bank, together with and any such other instruments relative to any and all of the Loan Documents as Bank, in its sole discretion, deems necessary to effectuate the intent of this Modification Agreement. Each and every reference in the Loan Documents to the Mortgage shall mean and refer to the Mortgage as previously amended and as amended by the Mortgage Amendment. In addition to, and not in lieu of, all other conditions to the Bank’s consent to enter into this Modification Agreement, the Bank’s consent to enter into this Modification Agreement is subject to the filing and recording by the Bank of the Mortgage Amendment after a rundown of the title to the Premises (and the examination of the records of such other government offices as the Bank deems appropriate) reveal no intervening matters of record affecting either the Premises or the Borrower since the filing of the Mortgage.

Borrower ratifies, confirms and agrees that the execution and delivery of all of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the Replacement Note and this Modification Agreement, was and is made in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Borrower’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and with the authorization of, to the extent required, the shareholders of the Borrower, and that it does not violate or contravene any provision of said Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws or any other indenture or contract to which the Borrower is a party; that the Loan Documents, including specifically, but not limited to, the Replacement Note, as modified hereby, the Mortgage, as modified hereby, and this Modification Agreement, are valid, binding and enforceable against the Borrower and that no consent of any other party is required in connection with the execution, delivery, performance or enforceability of each of the Loan Documents, including this Modification Agreement. Borrower further ratifies and confirms that the Mortgage, together with any and all other Loan Documents, granted a continuing security interest in and to the Property, and that the Mortgage, together with any and all other Loan Documents, secure Borrower’s prompt, punctual and faithful payment and performance of (i) the Replacement Note and any extensions, renewals, substitutions, modifications or replacements thereof; (ii) this Modification Agreement, and any extensions,

4

renewals, substitutions, modifications or replacements thereof; (iii) any and all liabilities, debts, and obligations of the Borrower to the Bank (including without limitation, this Modification Agreement and the Replacement Note, as modified hereby); (iv) any and all liabilities, debts and obligations, whether now existing or hereafter arising, or at any time owing by Borrower to the Bank, including without limitation, costs, costs of collection, attorneys’ reasonable fees and all court and litigation costs and expenses; and (v) all sums, bearing interest at the highest rate provided in the Replacement Note, as modified hereby, advanced to or on behalf of Borrower by the Bank for any purposes, whether dependent or independent of this transaction, all of which shall be equally secured with and have the same priority as the original advances under the Note, as amended and modified hereby, and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) each and every reference in the Mortgage to the Note shall be deemed to include the Replacement Note and any and all extensions, renewals, substitutions, modifications or replacements thereof; and (ii) the Replacement Note shall be deemed included in the definition of (a) “Liabilities” secured by the Mortgage, and (b) “Loan Documents”, as each of said terms is defined in the Mortgage.
