EXECUTION VERSION
COLLATERAL ACCESS AGREEMENT
This COLLATERAL ACCESS AGREEMENT dated as of July 31, 2020 (this “Agreement”),
is executed by AquaBounty Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Parent”), whose address is 2 Mill and Main Place, Suite 395, Maynard, MA 01754,
Attention: David Frank, to and for the benefit of First Farmers Bank and Trust
(the “Lender”), whose mailing address is 123 N. Jefferson Street, Converse,
Indiana 46919.
R E C I T A L S:
A. The Parent is the owner of real property commonly known as 11550 E Gregory
Road, Albany, Indiana 47320, as more particularly described on Exhibit A
attached hereto (the “Premises”), and has provided use of the Premises to
AquaBounty Farms Indiana LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and
subsidiary of the Parent (“ABF Indiana”).
B. The Lender has entered into, and may from time to time hereafter enter into,
various agreements, instruments and documents with ABF Indiana and/or its
affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively, as such agreements, instruments and
documents may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time
to time, “Loan Agreement”; capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Loan
Agreement) providing for the Lender to make or cause to be made certain
financial accommodations for the benefit of ABF Indiana and/or its affiliates
and subsidiaries.
C. ABF Indiana has granted to the Lender a first priority security interest in
substantially all of the personal property and assets, including inventory,
equipment, trade fixtures and books and records of ABF Indiana which may from
time to time be located in and on the Premises (the “Collateral”) as security
for any and all loans which the Lender has made or may make to ABF Indiana and
its affiliates (the “Loans”).
D. The Lender is willing to make such Loans only if the Parent waives any
claims, demands or rights which the Parent may have or acquire with respect to
such Collateral.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the
Parent hereby agrees with the Lender as follows:
A G R E E M E N T S:
1. The Parent hereby unconditionally subordinates to the security interest of
the Lender any and all liens, claims, demands or rights, however arising,
including without limitation, the right to levy, distrain, sue, execute or sell
for unpaid rent or otherwise, which the Parent now has or may hereafter acquire
with respect to any or all of the property of ABF Indiana, or in which ABF
Indiana has an interest (whether such property is now or hereafter located on or
in the Premises), including, without limitation, the Collateral, and all of the
proceeds thereof, whether by statute under the laws of the State in which the
Premises is located, by virtue of ABF Indiana's occupation of the Premises. The
Parent shall not take any action to enforce any liens, statutory or otherwise,
with regard to the Collateral or the Premises, without

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the prior written consent of the Lender or until all Borrower Obligations owed
to the Lender by ABF Indiana under the Loan Agreement have been paid in full.
2. Subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, the Parent recognizes and
acknowledges that the Lender’s security interest in the Collateral is superior
to any lien, right or claim of title of any nature which the Parent now has or
hereafter may have or assert in or to the Collateral by statute, any other
agreement or otherwise.
3. The Parent agrees that the Collateral (a) is and shall remain the personal
property of ABF Indiana, and (b) is not and shall not become or be deemed to be
fixtures affixed to the Premises.
4. The Parent represents and warrants to the Lender that ABF Indiana has
complied with all obligations currently owed to the Parent by ABF Indiana, and
that there is currently no lease agreement by Parent and ABF Indiana. The Parent
agrees to give the Lender written notice of the occurrence to the address set
forth above of any event which, with the giving of notice or passage of time or
both, could result in the Parent terminating ABF Indiana's use of the Premises.
5. Nothing contained in this Agreement will, as between the Parent and ABF
Indiana, (i) extend or create any right to cure any default by ABF Indiana, or
(ii) limit, restrict, alter or modify the rights of the Parent which are
available to the Parent as result of the use of the Premises by ABF Indiana. In
the event of a termination of the use of the Premises by ABF Indiana, or if the
Parent recovers possession of the Premises by any means, the Lender shall have
the right to remove the Collateral from the Premises for the ninety (90) day
period after its receipt of written notice thereof from the Parent.
6. Upon receipt by the Parent of a written notice from the Lender containing a
certification to the Parent that (i) ABF Indiana is in default under any
document or agreement evidencing or securing the Loans, and (ii) Lender is
entitled to take possession of the Collateral, the Lender, through its
authorized representatives, may enter the Premises at any time and from time to
time, and maintain, store, sell or remove the Collateral, allow Borrower (at
Lender's sole discretion and pursuant to Section 11.1 of the Loan Agreement) to
continue operations relating to the Collateral, or conduct a sale or sales of
the Collateral on the Premises and that the Lender shall have no obligation to
the Parent except the obligation to pay the Parent any monthly rent for the
Premises being paid by ABF Indiana to Parent at the time of such default (to the
extent rent was not previously received by the Parent for such period, and to
the extent such rent has been previously paid by ABF Indiana as evidenced by the
financial records of ABF Indiana and Parent, which shall be provided to Lender
in the event that entry upon the Premises by the Lender pursuant to this Section
6 occurs) prorated on a per diem basis for the period from (x) the earlier of
(1) the date on which the Lender notified the Parent of the Lender’s intent to
possess the Collateral and (2) the date on which the Lender and/or its
representatives actually enter the Premises, to (y) the date on which the Lender
and its representatives relinquish possession of the Premises. ABF Indiana
hereby unconditionally and irrevocably authorizes the Parent to (a) rely upon
the validity and correctness of any such notice from the Lender, and (b)
following the Parent’s receipt of such notice, grant and allow access by the
Lender (or its attorneys or representatives) to the Premises without any duty or
obligation to make inquiry of the Lender or to oversee or monitor in any way the
activities of the Lender in the Premises. ABF Indiana

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hereby unconditionally releases the Parent from any such claim, allegation or
assertion by ABF Indiana so long as the Parent receives the written notice from
Lender required by this section. If the Parent obtains possession of the
Premises and any significant Collateral remains on the Premises, the Parent
shall notify the Lender in writing that the Parent has obtained possession of
such Collateral and that Lender shall have the right to obtain possession of
such Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event
that the Lender removes any or all of the Collateral from the Premises, the
Lender shall repair any damage to the Premises resulting from the removal of any
of the Collateral. During the Lender’s occupancy of the Premises, the Lender
shall make the Premises available for inspection by the Parent and prospective
tenants and shall cooperate in the Parent’s reasonable efforts to re-lease the
Premises.
7. The Lender shall promptly repair, at the Lender’s expense, or reimburse the
Parent for any physical damage to the Premises actually caused by the conduct of
such sale and/or any removal of Collateral by or through the Lender or its
representatives. In addition, the Lender shall indemnify, defend and hold the
Parent, its mortgagee(s) and their respective officers, directors, shareholders,
members, managers, partners, agents, employees, contractors and other
representatives (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), harmless from and
against any and all liability and damage, and from and against any and all
lawsuits, claims and demands of every kind and nature, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses by or on behalf of any person, firm,
association or company arising from or based upon any accident, bodily injury or
damage, however occurring, which shall happen or may happen in connection with
(i) a public auction or private sale of the Collateral from the Premises or (2)
the entry into the Premises and/or any removal therefrom of the Collateral by
the Lender or its representatives, agents, contractors or employees; provided,
that in no event shall the Lender be liability for any such liability or damage
to the extent arising out of an Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct.
8. The Lender may, without any fee or charge for rent, at any reasonable time
during customary business hours and with reasonable notice, enter upon the
Premises to inspect ABF Indiana’s activity located at the Premises in accordance
with the terms of the Loan Agreement.
9. The Lender may, without affecting the validity of this Agreement, extend,
amend or in any way modify the terms of payment or performance of any of ABF
Indiana’s obligations and liabilities to the Lender, without the consent of the
Parent and without giving notice thereof to the Parent.
10. The parties hereto hereby express their intention to be legally bound by
this Agreement and acknowledge receipt of benefit therefrom. This Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Lender and shall
be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of
the Parent and ABF Indiana. This Agreement represents the whole agreement
between the parties relating to the matters set forth herein and may be amended
only in writing signed by all parties. The Parent agrees to disclose this
Agreement to any purchaser or successor to the Parent’s interest in the
Premises.
11. The laws of the State of Indiana shall govern the validity, interpretation
and enforcement of this Agreement.
