On February 5, 2018, American Superconductor Corporation (the “Company”) reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K that its wholly-owned subsidiary, ASC Devens, LLC (the “Seller”), entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “PSA”) with 64 Jackson, LLC (the “Purchaser”) and Stewart Title Guaranty Company (“Escrow Agent”), to effectuate the sale of certain real property located at 64 Jackson Road, Devens, Massachusetts, as described in the PSA, including the building that has served as the Company’s headquarters (collectively, the “Property”), in exchange for total consideration of $23.0 million, composed of (i) cash consideration of $17.0 million, and (ii) a $6.0 million subordinated secured commercial promissory note payable to the Seller (the “Seller Note”) at an interest rate equal to the short-term applicable federal rate then in effect at closing (the “Transaction”). Subsequently, the Seller, the Purchaser and Jackson 64 MGI, LLC (“Assignee”) entered into an Assignment of Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”), pursuant to which the Purchaser assigned all of its rights and interests in the PSA to the Assignee and the Assignee agreed to assume all of the Purchaser’s obligations and liabilities under the PSA.

The Transaction closed on March 28, 2018, at which time the Assignee delivered (i) cash consideration, net of certain agreed upon closing costs, of $16.9 million, and (ii) the Seller Note at an interest rate of 1.96%. The Seller Note is secured by a subordinated second mortgage on the Property (the “Subordinated Mortgage”) and a subordinated second assignment of leases and rents (the “Subordinated Assignment”), whereby the Assignee has assigned to the Seller all of the Assignee’s right, title and interest in all leases, subleases, tenancies or other arrangements pertaining to the Property and all rent, income, fees and other amounts due the Assignee under all of the leases.
The Seller also has entered into an Intercreditor, Subordination and Standstill Agreement dated March 28, 2018 (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) with the Assignee’s first mortgagee, East Boston Savings Bank, pursuant to which the Seller has agreed, among other things, to subordinate the Seller Note, the Subordinated Mortgage and the Subordinated Assignment to the rights of the Assignee’s first mortgagee.

This Note is subject to an Intercreditor, Subordination and Standstill Agreement of even date herewith between Lender and the East Boston Savings Bank. Any assignment, transfer or conveyance of this Note shall be subject to the aforesaid Intercreditor, Subordination and Standstill Agreement referenced above.
SUBORDINATED SECURED COMMERCIAL PROMISSORY NOTE
$6,000,000 March 28, 2018
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Jackson 64 MGI, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company with a usual place of business at 133 Pearl Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110 (the "Borrower") promise(s) to pay to the order of ASC Devens, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (its successors, assigns and any future holder or holders this Note collective, the "Lender"), at Lender's office located at 114 East Main Street, Ayer, Massachusetts 01432, or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing, the principal sum of Six Million and 00/100 Dollars ($6,000,000), plus interest from the date hereof, all as hereinafter set forth.
This Subordinated Secured Commercial Promissory Note (“Note”) is issued pursuant to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement between the Borrower and the Lender dated as of February 1, 2018, as it may be amended, modified and/or restated from time to time by mutual written agreement of Lender and Borrower (the “Agreement”), all of the terms and conditions of which are incorporated herein by reference. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.
This Note is subject to an Intercreditor, Subordination and Standstill Agreement of even date herewith between Lender and the East Boston Savings Bank. Any assignment, transfer or conveyance of this Note shall be subject to said Intercreditor, Subordination and Standstill Agreement.
INTEREST
Interest from the date hereof upon the unpaid principal balance from time to time outstanding shall accrue at a fixed rate of one and ninety-six hundredths percent (1.96%) per annum. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed and a 360-day year.
REPAYMENT
Principal and interest due Lender hereunder shall be repaid as follows:
A. Three Million and 00/100 Dollars ($3,000,000) of principal, together with all accrued interest shall be due and payable on March 31, 2019.
B. Three Million and 00/100 Dollars ($3,000,000), plus all accrued interest thereon shall be due and payable on March 31, 2020.
C. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Mortgaged Premises (defined below) is sold (a “Sale”), the entire unpaid principal shall be repaid, in full, together with all accrued interest thereon in connection with such Sale. The payment in full of all amounts due under this Note as the result of a Sale shall be paid at, and shall be a condition to, the closing of, a Sale.
Any payments received by Lender with respect to this Note prior to demand, acceleration or maturity shall be applied first to any costs, expenses or charges due Lender from Borrower, second to any unpaid accrued interest hereunder, and third to the unpaid principal hereunder. Any payments received after demand, acceleration or maturity shall be applied in such a manner as Lender shall determine.
If any payment received by Lender with respect to this Note shall be deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been a voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under federal or state law, or otherwise due any party other than Lender, then the obligation for which the payment was made shall not be discharged by the payment and shall survive as an obligation due hereunder, notwithstanding Lender's return to Borrower or any other party of the original of this Note or other instrument evidencing the obligation for which payment was made.
Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor, Subordination and Standstill Agreement referenced above, Borrower may prepay this Note from time to time in whole or part without penalty. All prepayments (with prepayment defined herein as any payment of principal in advance of its due date) shall be applied first to any costs, expenses or charges due Lender from Borrower, second to any accrued interest that is due and payable as of the date of the prepayment, and third against the principal payments due hereunder in the inverse order of their maturity. Any partial prepayments shall not affect Borrower’s obligation to make any of the payments required hereunder until all indebtedness evidenced by this Note is fully paid.
Pursuant to that second subordinated Mortgage of even date between the Lender and Borrower (the “Mortgage”), the following described property from Borrower, in addition to all other collateral now or hereafter provided by Borrower, or by any guarantor or endorser hereof, to Lender, shall secure this Note and all other present and future obligations of Borrower to Lender: second mortgage on property located at 64 Jackson Road, Devens, Massachusetts (the “Mortgaged Premises”).
This Note shall be in default, and all unpaid principal, interest, and other amounts due hereunder, shall, at Lender's option, be immediately due and payable, without prior notice, protest, or demand, upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events of default (the "Events of Default"): (a) the failure of Borrower to pay when due any amount due hereunder; (b) an Event of Default (as defined in the Mortgage) under the Mortgage, or (c) the granting of any trust mortgage upon any assets of Borrower, the occurrence of any assignment for the benefit of Borrower's creditors, or the appointment of a custodian, trustee, or receiver with respect to any assets of Borrower, or the filing of any petition by or against Borrower under the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 (as amended), or any other federal or state law by which Borrower is or may be relieved from
its debts, except that with respect to an involuntary filing against the Borrower, the Borrower shall have forty five days from the date of filing to dismiss the involuntary filing prior to it constituting an Event of Default, or (d) a monetary breach or monetary default by the Borrower of any terms, covenants, or conditions of any loan, guaranty, financial instrument or other agreement involving indebtedness, secured to the Borrower’s first mortgage lender after the passage of any applicable notice and/or cure periods. An Event of Default will be deemed to be continuing unless waived in writing by Lender or the Event of Default has been cured as provided herein or in the Mortgage and Security Agreement.
If the entire amount of any required principal and/or interest payment is not paid in full on the date the same is due, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender a late fee equal to five percent (5.00%) of the required payment.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which remains uncured beyond any applicable notice and/or cure period, the unpaid principal hereunder shall, at the option of the Lender, bear interest at a per annum interest rate equal to nine percent (9.00%) per annum until such Event of Default is cured or waived in writing by Lender.
Borrower, and each endorser and guarantor hereof, severally agree to hereby waive presentment, demand, notice and protest and also waives any delay on the part of the holder hereof. Each also assents to (i) any extension, or other indulgence (including, without limitation, any release substitution or addition of collateral or of any direct or indirect obligor) permitted by Lender with respect to this Note and/or any collateral given to secure this Note, (ii) any extension or other indulgence, as described above, with respect to any other obligation or any collateral given to secure such other obligation of Borrower or any endorser or guarantor to Lender, or (iii) to the modification or amendment, at any time and from time to time, of this Note, the Mortgage and Security Agreement, or any other instrument securing this Note or any of the loan documents evidencing the Obligations at the request of any person liable thereon. A discharge or release of any party directly or indirectly liable hereon shall not discharge or otherwise affect the liability of any other party directly or indirectly liable hereon.
No indulgence, delay, or omission by Lender in exercising or enforcing any of its rights or remedies hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof on that occasion nor on any other occasion. No waiver of any default hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any other default hereunder, nor as a continuing waiver. No waiver of a default or of any other right or remedy hereunder, nor any modification of any provision of this Note, shall be enforceable unless it is in writing signed by the party against whom the waiver or modification is to be enforced. All of Lender's rights and remedies hereunder and under any other related loan documents shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently, at Lender's sole and exclusive discretion.
It is not intended under this Note to charge interest at a rate exceeding the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged under applicable law, but if interest exceeding said maximum rate should be paid hereunder, the excess shall, at Lender's option, be (a) deemed a voluntary prepayment of principal not subject to the prepayment premium (if any) set forth herein or (b) refunded to Borrower.
Borrower, and each endorser and guarantor hereof, jointly and severally agree to pay on demand all costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Lender in connection with the protection and/or enforcement of any of Lender's rights or remedies against Borrower or any such endorser or guarantor (whether or not any suit has been instituted by or against Lender).
This Note shall be binding upon Borrower and each endorser and guarantor hereof and upon their respective heirs, successors, and representatives, and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors, endorsees and assigns.
The liabilities of the Borrower (and each co-maker, if any), and any endorser or guarantor hereof, are joint and several. Each reference in this Note to the Borrower, any endorser and any guarantor, is to such maker, co-maker (if any), endorser and guarantor, individually, as well as collectively. No party obligated on account of this Note may seek contribution from any other party also obligated unless and until all obligations to Lender of the party to whom contribution is sought have been satisfied in full. Each reference to Lender herein is to the named payee hereto or any subsequent holder hereof, and their respective successors, endorsees and assigns.
Borrower represents to Lender that the proceeds of this Note will not be used for personal, family or household purposes and that this loan is strictly a commercial transaction.
BORROWER, AND EACH ENDORSER AND GUARANTOR HEREOF, HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF ANY DISPUTE RELATING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, TO THIS NOTE AND/OR OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (IF ANY) EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH AND ALSO SUBMIT TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS (AND THE FEDERAL COURTS SITUATED THEREIN) WITH RESPECT TO ALL CLAIMS CONCERNING THIS NOTE AND/OR ANY COLLATERAL SECURING THEIR RESPECTIVE LIABILITIES TO LENDER.
This Note shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to its principles of conflicts of laws, and shall take effect as a sealed instrument.

(v) All rents, income, profits, royalties or accounts receivables from the Premises.
Section 1 - General Covenants of Mortgagor. Until the Obligations are paid, performed and observed in full, in addition to the STATUTORY CONDITION, Mortgagor agrees as follows:
1.1 Insurance. Subject to the rights of the holder of the Prior Mortgage, to keep all buildings, improvements and Fixtures which are part of the Premises insured against direct risk
of physical loss in an amount not less than 100% of their replacement cost. Mortgagor agrees to keep all buildings and improvements under construction insured under a Builder’s Risk, Completed Value, non-reporting form of policy which provides coverage for “completion and/or premises occupancy.” All insurance will (i) be written with a standard mortgagee clause by companies of recognized responsibility authorized to write such insurance in Massachusetts and having a Best’s financial rating of B or better, (ii) be on forms reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee, (iii) and subject to the rights of the holder of the Prior Mortgage, be payable in case of loss to Mortgagee, as its interest may appear, and (iv) contain a provision that it may not be cancelled or modified without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Mortgagee. Mortgagor agrees to deliver to Mortgagee, when requested, satisfactory evidence of (a) all existing insurance policies, (b) new policies for insurance about to expire at least thirty (30) days before the expiration and (c) payment of all insurance premiums.
1.2 Taxes. To pay or cause to be paid, before the last day on which payment may be made without penalty or interest (the “Payment Date”) all taxes (or payments in lieu of taxes), special or general assessments, water and sewer charges and other municipal charges with respect to the Premises (“Taxes”) and to furnish evidence of payment to Mortgagee.
1.3 Mortgages and Encumbrances. To keep the title to the Premises free of all mortgages and other encumbrances except for (i) the lien for Taxes not yet due, (ii) the first mortgage of the East Boston Savings Bank (the “Prior Mortgage”), and (iii) encumbrances assented to by Mortgagee, regardless of whether the mortgage or encumbrance has priority over this Mortgage.
1.4 Maintenance and Use of Premises. To maintain the Premises in as good condition as they now are or may be in the future, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Mortgagor agrees not to permit (i) removal, demolition or other waste of the Premises, (ii) lapse or revocation of any license, permit or other governmental authorization issued with respect to the Premises, (iii) material change in the structure or use of the Premises or (iv) violation of a law or ordinance affecting the Premises or its use. At Mortgagee’s request, Mortgagor agrees to provide evidence of compliance with the provisions of this or any other covenant in the Loan Documents.
1.5 Leases. Subject to the rights of the holder of the Prior Mortgage, to deliver to Mortgagee copies of all leases, licenses, franchises and other agreements under which a person occupies any part of the Premises (“Leases”). Subject to the rights of the holder of the Prior Mortgage, Mortgagor assigns the Leases and all rent, income, fees and other amounts due Mortgagor under the Leases (“Rents”) to Mortgagee as additional security for the Obligations. Mortgagor grants to Mortgagee full power, as irrevocable attorney-in-fact of Mortgagor, to execute and deliver assignments of the Leases and the Rents to itself, to any future holder of this Mortgage or to any person claiming title to the Premises as a result of foreclosure proceedings. When an Event of Default exists, Mortgagee may, without waiving any of its other rights, collect the Rents and enforce all obligations of tenants under the Leases without taking possession of the Premises and without performing any obligations of the landlord under the Leases.
1.6 Environmental Laws and Compliance. To comply with and to cause the Premises to comply with all applicable Federal, state and local laws, codes, ordinances, rules, regulations and interpretations now or in the future existing, and all applicable orders of administrative agencies including, but not limited to, the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 and Massachusetts General Laws, Chapters 21C and 21E, relating to the environment, health, safety, sanitation, underground storage tanks and the “release or threat of release” of Hazardous Materials (the “Environmental Laws”). The term “Hazardous Materials” means (i) lead paint, asbestos, radon and (ii) “oil”, “hazardous materials”, “hazardous wastes” and “hazardous substances” as those terms are defined in the Environmental Laws.
1.6.1 Copies of Notices. To give to Mortgagee, immediately, copies of all notices, reports, citations and other communications given or received by Mortgagor in connection with any Environmental Laws whether or not relating to the Premises.
1.7 Indemnification. To defend, indemnify and hold Mortgagee and its directors, officers, agents and employees harmless against all claims, losses and liabilities, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of litigation, incurred by Mortgagee on account of (i) Mortgagor’s failure to comply with Environmental Laws, or (ii) a release or threat of release of Hazardous Materials on the Premises, subject, however, to Mortgagee’s obligations pursuant to Section 12.6 of that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement by and between Mortgagor and Mortgagee for the Premises, which obligations shall expire on the two year anniversary of the date of this Mortgage.
1.8 Alienation. Not to cause or permit, directly or indirectly, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, (i) title to all or part of the Premises to become vested in a person other than Mortgagor, or (ii) all or part of the Premises to become subject to the provisions of Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 183A relating to condominiums, or (iii) the transfer of a controlling interest in the legal entity that is Mortgagor, excluding estate planning transfers provided that Steven Goodman remains the Manager of the Mortgagor. If any of the changes described above occur, in addition to exercising remedies available to it, Mortgagee may, at its option and without notice to Mortgagor, deal with the successor in interest with reference to this Mortgage and the Obligations in the same manner as with Mortgagor, without reducing or discharging Mortgagor’s liability for the Obligations. When requested, without delay Mortgagor agrees to disclose to Mortgagee the name, address and ownership interest of each legal and beneficial owner of the Premises or Mortgagor.

(i) The failure to pay an Obligation when due;
(ii) The failure, other than in the payment of money, to perform or observe an Obligation which continues beyond an applicable period of notice or grace;

(vi) Under a law for the relief or aid of debtors, a court assumes custody or control of Mortgagor or a Guarantor or of the whole or a substantial part of the property of either, and the custody or control is not terminated or stayed within sixty (60) days after the date it is assumed;
(vii) A court enters final judgment against Mortgagor for the payment of money in excess of $1,000,000, and, within sixty (60) days after entry of the judgment, Mortgagor does not (a) discharge the judgment or provide for its discharge in accordance with its terms, or (b) procure a stay of execution and within the sixty (60) day period, or such longer period during which execution of the judgment has been stayed, appeal and cause the execution to be stayed during the appeal;
(viii) The monetary default by Mortgagor with respect to any prior indebtedness secured by the Premises; or
(ix) The occurrence of an Event of Default under any one or more of the Loan Documents.
Section 3 - Rights and Remedies. Without prejudice to Mortgagee’s rights with respect to Obligations payable on demand, if an Event of Default exists, Mortgagee may, without notice except to the extent notice is required by law, exercise the rights and remedies provided in this Section 3, conferred by law or under the Loan Documents with respect to the Premises, Mortgagor or any other person. Mortgagee’s rights and remedies are cumulative and not exclusive of or alternative to any rights or remedies it would otherwise have. A delay or failure by Mortgagee in exercising or enforcing its rights or remedies does not constitute a waiver.
3.1 Remedies. Whenever an Event of Default exists, Mortgagee may:
(i) Declare the Obligations immediately due and payable, without presentment, notice, protest or further demand, all of which are hereby expressly waived;
(ii) Exercise the STATUTORY POWER OF SALE;
(iii) Initiate actions or proceedings available to Mortgagee under applicable law to protect its interest in the Premises and the Obligations; or
(iv) Petition for the appointment of a receiver of the Premises, which appointment may be made ex parte and without notice except to the extent notice is required by law, without regard to the solvency of Mortgagor or a Guarantor at the time of application for the receiver and without regard to the value of the Premises.
3.2 Receiver. Mortgagor consents to the appointment of Mortgagee or other qualified person as receiver, to take possession of and to operate the Premises and to collect the Rents. Notwithstanding the appointment of a receiver or other custodian, Mortgagee is entitled, as pledgee, to the possession and control of all cash, deposits and instruments at the time payable or deliverable under this Mortgage.
3.3 Specific Performance. Failure by Mortgagor to perform its agreements contained in the Loan Documents will result in irreparable harm to Mortgagee for which Mortgagee has no adequate remedy at law. Therefore, Mortgagor agrees that its agreements contained in the Loan Documents are specifically enforceable by Mortgagee.
3.4 Foreclosure Sales. Mortgagee has the right in case of a sale which it is entitled to make, to sell the Premises at public auction, either as a whole or by parcels and without regard to other collateral now or in the future securing the Obligations. In the case of a sale by parcels, the purchaser of a parcel will take good title, even if a sum may already have been realized from the sale of other parcels sufficient to satisfy all the Obligations. The foreclosure sale may be held at the offices of Mortgagee or on or near the Premises, without notice or demand, except to the extent notice or demand is required by law.
3.5 Foreclosure Expenses, Surplus. If (i) foreclosure, bankruptcy or other legal proceedings involve Mortgagee’s interest under this Mortgage, whether the proceedings are begun by Mortgagee or others and whether the proceedings are suspended or terminated or the Premises redeemed, or (ii) Mortgagee takes possession of the Premises, Mortgagee will be entitled to collect and Mortgagor agrees to reimburse Mortgagee for all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Mortgagee in the foreclosure, bankruptcy or other legal proceeding or in the maintenance, protection and management of the Premises. If surplus proceeds are realized from a foreclosure sale, Mortgagee will not be liable for interest on the proceeds pending distribution, and all costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by it in proceedings to determine the person or persons entitled to the surplus will be paid from the surplus proceeds.
3.6 Forbearance not a Waiver. The liability of Mortgagor will not be reduced, the priority of this Mortgage will not be affected, and the rights of Mortgagee with respect to
Mortgagor or the security for the Obligations will not be impaired by any of the following events, regardless of whether Mortgagee receives additional consideration: (i) the sale of all or part of the Premises, (ii) a forbearance by Mortgagee, (iii) an extension of the time for payment or performance of the Obligations, (iv) a release of security for or a guarantor of the Obligations or (v) an indulgence given by Mortgagee to Mortgagor or to any other person having an interest in the Premises or liable for the Obligations. Mortgagor waives notice of any extension, forbearance or indulgence and agrees that no waiver, express or implied, by Mortgagee of a default by a party to the Loan Documents will constitute a waiver of a future default in the same or any other provision of the Loan Documents.
3.7 Insurance Policies. If this Mortgage is foreclosed, and subject to the rights of the holder of the Prior Mortgage, Mortgagor grants to Mortgagee full power, as irrevocable attorney-in-fact of Mortgagor, to cancel the insurance required to be maintained by Mortgagee under this Mortgage, retain the return premiums and apply them to the Obligations or to transfer the insurance to a person claiming title to the Premises as a result of foreclosure proceedings.
Section 4 - Damage to Premises. Subject to the rights of the holder of the Prior Mortgage, Mortgagor appoints Mortgagee as its irrevocable attorney-in-fact (i) to adjust and to settle claims on account of damage to the Premises resulting from a taking or casualty, (ii) to receive all condemnation and insurance proceeds (“Proceeds”) arising out of the damage and (iii) to endorse in favor of itself or any other person drafts or checks for Proceeds received by it. Mortgagee agrees to apply all Proceeds first, to expenses including, but not limited to, the reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys and other professionals incurred by Mortgagee in collecting the Proceeds and, if no Event of Default exists, the balance to the cost of restoring the Premises. Mortgagee may, in its discretion, (a) pay the Proceeds to Mortgagor for application to the cost of the work, or (b) advance the Proceeds from time to time to Mortgagor and/or its contractor for application to the cost of the work as the cost is certified to Mortgagee by an architect or contractor in charge of the restoration who has been approved in writing by Mortgagee; provided, however, that Mortgagee is not obligated to make advances if, as a result, the balance of the Proceeds is or will become less than the amount specified in the architect’s or contractor’s certificate as the amount required to complete the restoration. Upon receipt by Mortgagee of satisfactory evidence that the restoration has been completed, that the cost of all labor and materials has been paid in full and that there are no liens on the Premises, and if no Event of Default exists, Mortgagee agrees to pay the balance of the Proceeds held by it to Mortgagor. If the Proceeds held by Mortgagee are insufficient to pay the entire cost of restoration, Mortgagor agrees to pay the deficiency on demand.
Section 5 - Payments by Mortgagee. Mortgagee is authorized but not obligated (i) to pay all Taxes with accrued interest, penalties and charges, (ii) to pay the premiums for insurance required under the Loan Documents, (iii) to incur and pay reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, in protecting its rights under the Loan Documents, and maintaining, protecting or managing the collateral securing the Obligations, (iv) to pay indebtedness secured by a mortgage of real estate or security interest in property or Fixtures included as part of the Premises, (v) to add all amounts paid or incurred for the above purposes to the principal amount of the Obligations, and (vi) to apply to the above purposes or to the repayment of amounts paid by Mortgagee, sums paid under the Loan
Documents as interest or principal. The amounts paid by Mortgagee will bear interest at the highest rate payable under the Loan Documents and will be payable on demand.
Section 6 - Entry by Mortgagee. Mortgagee or its agents may enter the Premises at any time, before or after an Event of Default, to inspect the Premises, to appraise the Premises, to determine compliance with the provisions of the Loan Documents and to take any action while on the Premises authorized under this Mortgage or which it considers necessary to preserve the value of the Premises. Entry by Mortgagee for the purposes authorized under this Section will not be considered entry for any other purpose or constitute possession of the Premises. Mortgagor agrees to reimburse Mortgagee on demand for all expenses incurred in connection with an entry made under this Section, including the cost of appraisal, testing, remedial action or other activities by Mortgagee or its agents while on the Premises.
Section 7 - Notices and Communications. All notices, demands, requests and other communications provided for or permitted under this Mortgage must be in writing and be delivered by hand or sent by nationally recognized and reputable overnight delivery service, express mail, certified mail or first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the parties, respectively at the following addresses:
(a) If to Mortgagee, at the address stated at the beginning of this Mortgage (or at such other address as Mortgagee designates in writing to Mortgagor), with a copy to the persons Mortgagee designates in writing to Mortgagor, or
(b) if to Mortgagor, at the address stated at the beginning of this Mortgage (or at such other address as Mortgagor designates in writing to Mortgagee) with a copy to the persons Mortgagor designates in writing to Mortgagee.
A communication provided for in this Mortgage will become effective only when the person to whom it is given receives it or is considered to have received it. If it is mailed by express, certified or first-class mail, it will be considered to be received on (i) the second business day after being mailed or (ii) the day of its receipt, whichever is earlier.
Section 8 - Miscellaneous Provisions. The following miscellaneous provisions are applicable to this Mortgage:
8.1 Successors and Assigns. The term “Mortgagee” includes Mortgagee, its successors and assigns, and any subsequent holder or holders of this Mortgage. The term “Mortgagor” includes Mortgagor and any subsequent owner or owners of the equity of redemption of the Premises assented to by Mortgagee. All of the agreements of Mortgagor are binding upon the successors and assigns of the original Mortgagor and any person claiming under Mortgagor.

8.4 Governing Law. This Mortgage will be construed under and governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
8.5 Severability. If a provision of this Mortgage is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the provision will be enforceable to the extent that a court, after limiting or reducing it, considers it reasonable to enforce the provision. If it is held to be unreasonable to enforce the provision to any extent, the provision will be severed from this Mortgage and the remainder of this Mortgage will continue in effect.
Section 9 - Consent to Jurisdiction; Waivers. MORTGAGOR IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY (i) SUBMITS TO PERSONAL JURISDICTION IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS OVER ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND (ii) WAIVES ALL PERSONAL RIGHTS UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE (a) TO TRIAL BY JURY, (b) TO OBJECT TO JURISDICTION WITHIN THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS OR VENUE IN A PARTICULAR FORUM WITHIN THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS AND (c) TO CLAIM OR RECOVER ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN ACTUAL DAMAGES INCLUDING SPECIAL EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

This provision may not be construed to prevent Mortgagee from bringing an action or proceeding or exercising its rights in any other jurisdiction. Mortgagor acknowledges that it has been informed by Mortgagee that the provisions of this Section constitute a material inducement upon which Mortgagee has relied, is relying and will rely in entering into this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, and that it has reviewed the provisions of this Section with its counsel. Either party may file an original counterpart or a copy of this Section with any court as written evidence of the consent of Mortgagor and Mortgagee to the waiver of their rights to trial by jury.

SECTION 5
Lender's Remedies; Expenses
SECTION 5.1 Lender's Right to Perform. If Borrower fails to perform or observe any of its obligations under the Leases so as to entitle any Tenant to terminate a Lease or recover damages, Lender may, but with no duty to do so and without releasing Borrower, perform Borrower's obligations under the Leases to the extent Lender considers necessary to protect its security.
SECTION 5.2 Lender's Remedies. At any time after a default in the payment or performance of any Obligations, which default extends beyond any applicable grace period, regardless of whether Lender elects to declare the Obligations immediately due and payable, at its option, without notice to Borrower and without waiving the default, Lender may (i) take possession of the Premises and manage, lease and operate the Premises on such terms and for such period of time as it considers to be appropriate, and (ii) with or without taking possession of the Premises, in its own name or in the name of Borrower, sue for and collect the Rents, including any that are past due, and (iii) amend or terminate any of the Leases and enter into new Leases of all or any part of the Premises on terms which Lender considers appropriate, and any amendment, termination or new Lease made by Lender will be binding on Borrower. Lender may, whether or not it takes possession of the Premises and without any obligation to do so, make alterations, renovations, repairs and improvements to the Premises. Lender may exercise its remedies provided in this Section 5.2 without regard to the adequacy of any other security for the Obligations.
SECTION 5.3 Lender's Expenses. If, in exercising its rights and pursuing its remedies under this Assignment or with respect to any of the Obligations or Lender's security for the Obligations, Lender incurs any expenses, including attorneys' fees, Borrower agrees to reimburse those expenses on demand. If Borrower fails to reimburse any of Lender's expenses, Lender may reimburse them by application of Rents, as provided in Section 6.1, or Lender may add them to the principal amount of the Obligations. Regardless of any action by Lender, failure of Borrower to reimburse Lender's expenses within ten (10) days after demand, constitutes a material default under this Assignment.
SECTION 5.4 Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of Lender under this Assignment are cumulative and are not in place of, but are in addition to, any other rights and
remedies which Lender may have under the Note, the Mortgage or any other agreement made in connection with the Note, the Mortgage or any of the Obligations.
SECTION 6
Application of Rents
SECTION 6.1 Application of Rents. After any default in the payment or performance of any Obligations, which default extends beyond any applicable grace period, regardless of whether Lender elects to declare any Obligation immediately due and payable, Lender may apply any Rents then held or in the future received by it under this Assignment to payment of the following in such order of priority and in such amounts as Lender considers appropriate:
| |
(a) | all reasonable expenses of taking possession of, managing, operating and maintaining the Premises, including but not limited to: the salaries and benefits of a managing agent and such other employees as Lender considers necessary; all supplies, utilities and fuel; all taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer rates and any other municipal charges and liens; premiums for all insurance which Lender considers necessary; and the cost of all reasonable alterations, renovations, repairs or improvements; |
| |
(c) | all reasonable expenses, including attorney's fees, incurred by Lender in connection with this Assignment, the Note, the Mortgage or any other Obligations. |
SECTION 6.2 Balance of Rents. If any balance remains after the application of the Rents as provided in Section 6.1, Lender may pay the balance to Borrower. If Lender has any reasonable doubt about Borrower's entitlement, Lender may pay the balance as ordered in a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction in any action brought by Lender or any other person claiming an interest in the Rents.
SECTION 7
Miscellaneous
SECTION 7.1 Liability of Lender. No act, omission or error of judgment by Lender, other than its gross negligence or willful misconduct, in connection with this Assignment shall impose any liability on Lender or give rise to any offset, counterclaim or defense to the Obligations.
SECTION 7.2 Indemnification of Lender. Lender is not required to perform or observe any obligation under the Leases. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify Lender against all claims, losses and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, which may be imposed on or
incurred by Lender by reason of the Leases, by reason of this Assignment, or by reason of any alleged obligation or undertaking to be performed by Lender under the Leases. If Lender incurs any loss or expense under the Leases or by reason of this Assignment or in the defense of any such alleged obligation, Borrower agrees immediately, upon demand, to reimburse Lender.
SECTION 7.3 Non-waiver. The failure of Lender to avail itself of any of the provisions of this Assignment, at any time or for any period of time, shall not be construed to be a waiver of any of its rights under this Assignment.
SECTION 7.4 Notices. Any notice, request, direction, consent, approval, waiver or other communication required or permitted under this Assignment must be in writing and will become effective only when received unless sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested and addressed to the parties respectively at their addresses recited in Section 1.1, in which case it will be effective three (3) days after being mailed. Either party may change its address by written notice to the other party given at least ten (10) days before the effective date of such change.
THIS ASSIGNMENT is binding upon and will inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective successors and assigns.

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; |

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.

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.

The Senior Lender does hereby reserve its right to pursue all remedies afforded it under the Senior Loan Documents without affecting its rights hereunder. |
