 Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter provided, Bank agrees to extend credit to Borrower in the form of a term loan (the “Term Loan”) in the amount of up to $9,000,000, but no less than $8,000,000, which shall be
advanced to Borrower for the purpose of repaying certain outstanding indebtedness of Borrower, to fund new leasehold improvements, and for other general corporate purposes; provided however, that, if the Third Advance is not made pursuant to the
terms hereof, the Term Loan shall be in the amount of $8,000,000. The Term Loan is sometimes referred to herein as the “Loan.” For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement, the Note and Security
Agreement, and the extension of the Term Loan pursuant thereto, constitute the first part of a two-part (or three-part, as applicable) transaction between Bank and Borrower, the second part of which (the “Bond Transaction”) shall be
completed following the Closing Date, as more fully described in Section 3.2 herein. 
  
 Section 2.2 Term Loan. 
  
 (a) Term Loan. Bank shall lend to Borrower pursuant to the Term Loan the aggregate sum of (i) $9,000,000, if the Third Advance is made or (ii) $8,000,000, if the Third Advance is not made. 
  
 (b) Advances. At Closing, subject to satisfaction of the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement, Bank shall make an Initial Advance of $6,200,000 to Borrower under the Term Loan. Bank shall make a Second Advance of $1,800,000 to Borrower under the Term Loan subsequent to Closing upon satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in this Agreement. It is expressly understood and covenanted by Borrower that the Second Advance will be consummated, and all conditions precedent with respect thereto be satisfied, on or before March 1, 2004. As more fully
described in Section 3.3 herein, if the Bond Transaction has not been completed on or before March 31, 2004, Bank shall make the Third Advance of $1,000,000 to Borrower under the Term Loan upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3.3
of this Agreement. 
  
 (c) Term Loan Note. The indebtedness
of Borrower in respect of the Term Loan shall be evidenced by the Term Loan Note executed by Borrower in favor of Bank in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

at: (1) the As-Offered Fixed Rate; or (2) LIBOR plus 3.00% 
  

 - 7 - 








 (provided, however, that if Borrower fails to maintain Liquidity of at least $18,000,000, based on
Bank’s determination (in its sole discretion), then option (2) shall be LIBOR plus 3.50%). Borrower shall provide Bank with telephonic notice prior to the initial advance of the Term Loan and, if applicable, not less than 2 Business Days prior
to the last day of each LIBOR Term or As-Offered Fixed Rate Term, as the case may be, of Borrower’s selection of a rate option and term, which telephonic notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing. In the absence of such notice, the interest
rate on the Term Loan Note shall continue at the LIBOR rate as provided herein, or, in the event a LIBOR rate is not available, the Base Rate plus 0.50% (or, if Borrower’s Liquidity is less than $18,000,000, the Base Rate plus
1.00%). Interest shall be due and payable to Bank quarterly on each Interest Payment Date. 
  
 (e) Maturity. The principal of the Term Loan Note shall be paid in 36 equal quarterly installments of (a) $250,000 if the Third Advance is made, or (b) $222,222.22 if the Third Advance is not made, on March 31,
June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, commencing on March 31, 2005, subject to the prepayment provision contained herein. 
  
 (f) Optional Prepayments. The principal of the Term Loan Note, with respect to an As-Offered Fixed Rate Loan, may be prepaid in whole or in part
(but if in part only in amounts of $100,000 or integral multiples of $25,000 in excess thereof) at any time, by Borrower upon three Business Days’ written notice to Bank, which prepayment shall be subject to a prepayment premium in an amount to
be determined by Bank. The principal of the Term Loan Note, with respect to a LIBOR-based interest rate Loan or a Base Rate-based interest rate Loan, as the case may be, may be prepaid in whole or in part (but if in part only in amounts of $100,000
or integral multiples of $25,000 in excess thereof) at the end of the applicable LIBOR Term or term of a Base Rate-based interest rate Loan, by Borrower upon three Business Days’ written notice to Bank. In the event of the prepayment of any
portion of the Term Loan Note during any period in which the Term Loan Note shall bear interest at a LIBOR-based interest rate prior to the end of the applicable LIBOR Term, Borrower shall pay to Bank, concurrently therewith, a “breakage
fee” equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which otherwise would have accrued on the principal amount so repaid for the period from the date of such repayment to the last day of the LIBOR Term for such amount at the
applicable rate of interest for such amount provided for herein, over (ii) the interest component of the amount Bank would have bid in the London interbank market for Dollar deposits of leading lenders and amounts comparable to such principal amount
and with maturities comparable to such period (it being conclusively presumed for such purpose that Bank shall have purchased funds at the applicable LIBOR corresponding to such principal for the applicable LIBOR Term). No partial prepayment shall
reduce Borrower’s obligation to make principal payments next becoming due under the Term Loan Note, but shall reduce such principal payment obligations in reverse order of due date. 
  
 Section 2.3 Other Provisions. 
  
 (a) Interest on the Note shall be calculated based upon a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. 
  
 (b) Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under the Note shall be
stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next 
  

 - 8 - 








 succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of
interest hereunder or under the Note, as the case may be. 
  
 (c)
In connection with the Loan provided hereunder, Borrower shall (1) pay to Bank at the Closing a closing fee equal to one-quarter of one percent of the Loan (the “Closing Fee”); (2) pay or reimburse Bank at the Closing (upon
presentation by Bank to Borrower of reasonably detailed supporting documentation) for the reasonable costs and expenses of Bank in connection with the preparation, execution, issuance and delivery of this Agreement and the other instruments and
documents to be delivered hereunder including, but not limited to, (i) reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements of Bank and Bank’s counsel; (3) pay or reimburse Bank for all title insurance premiums and other filing fees
incurred by it in connection with obtaining or securing the Bank’s interest in the Collateral; (4) pay or reimburse Bank for all real estate evaluation and appraisal fees in connection with this Agreement; and (5) pay or reimburse Bank on
demand for the reasonable costs and expenses, if any, of Bank in connection with any amendments to this Agreement and the Note and the enforcement of this Agreement and the Note (including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of
Bank’s counsel with respect thereto). All of the foregoing fees and expenses will be due and payable to Bank regardless of whether this Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated. 
  
 (d) Payment by Borrower of all amounts due hereunder shall be made by debit
of a deposit account of Borrower maintained with Bank, as Bank may from time to time request. 
  
 (e) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, during any period in which an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing hereunder, interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal of the Note
at a rate per annum equal to the then interest rate applicable to the Loan pursuant to Section 2.2(c) hereof plus 2% (the “Default Rate”). 
  
 (f) Bank shall open and maintain on its books a loan account (the “Loan Account”) with respect to repayments, prepayments, the
computation and payment of interest and fees and the computation and final payment of all other amounts due and sums paid to Bank under this Agreement and the Note. Unless Borrower objects in writing to the information contained in a statement
delivered to Borrower by Bank regarding the Loan Account within thirty (30) days of receipt of such statement, the information contained in such statement and in the Loan Account will, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding on Borrower as
to the amount at any time due to Bank from Borrower under this Agreement and the Note.

its ownership of or rights to all material Intellectual Property. To the knowledge of the Borrower, the present business, activities and products of the Borrower do not infringe any intellectual property of any other person, except where such
infringement would not have a material averse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or business prospects of Borrower. To the knowledge of the Borrower, the Borrower is not making unauthorized use of any confidential information
or trade secrets of any Person. Neither the Borrower nor, to the knowledge of the Borrower, any of its employees has any agreements or arrangements with any Persons other than the Borrower related to confidential information or trade secrets of such

occurrence of any event that would cause a material adverse change in the business, business prospects, properties or financial condition of Borrower, a written statement by an executive officer, setting forth the details of such material adverse
change, and the action which is proposed to be taken with respect thereto; 
  
 (f) as soon as practicable, but in any event within five (5) days of the time Borrower becomes aware thereof (or should have become so aware with the exercise of reasonable diligence), notice of the institution of, or

 (g) as soon as possible, but in any event within five (5) days after Borrower

 All such reports, registration statements, definitive proxy statements and other filings of Borrower with the SEC will comply, as of their respective filing dates, in all material respects with the requirements of all applicable Securities
Laws, and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact, or fail to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading, as of their respective filing dates. 
  
 Section 5.2 Payment of Taxes and Claims. 
  
 Borrower will pay all taxes, assessments and other governmental charges imposed upon it or any of its properties or assets or in respect of any of its franchises, business, income or profits before any penalty or interest accrues thereon,
and all claims (including, without limitation, claims for labor, services, materials and supplies) for sums which have become due and payable 
  

 - 19 - 








 and which by law have or might become a lien upon any of its properties or assets, provided that no such charge or claim
need be paid if being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly initiated and diligently conducted and if such reserve or other appropriate provision, if any, as shall be required by GAAP shall have been made therefor and, if the
filing of a bond or other indemnity is necessary to avoid the creation of a lien against any of the assets of Borrower, such bond shall have been filed or indemnity provided. 
  
 Section 5.3 Insurance. 
  
 (a) Borrower shall (i) keep its property and business insured against fire and other hazards (so-called “all risk”
coverage) in amounts and with companies reasonably satisfactory to Bank, or the amount necessary to avoid any co-insurance penalty, which policy shall name Bank as loss payee as its interest may appear, (ii) maintain public liability coverage
against claims for personal injuries, death or property damage in an amount deemed reasonable by Bank, which policy shall name Bank as an additional insured as its interest may appear, and (iii) maintain all worker’s compensation, employment or
similar insurance as may be required by applicable law. All such property insurance shall contain an endorsement identifying Bank as lienholder, lender loss payee and mortgagee, and providing for a minimum of thirty (30) days’ written
cancellation notice to Bank. In any event, Borrower’s obligation to carry such insurance may only be brought within the coverage of a so-called blanket or umbrella policy or policies of insurance carried and maintained by Borrower if and only
if the coverage afforded Bank will not be limited, reduced or diminished by reason of the use of a blanket or umbrella policy of insurance. 
  
 (b) Borrower agrees to deliver copies of all of the aforesaid insurance policies to Bank. 
  
 (c) In the event of any material loss or damage to the Collateral, Borrower shall give prompt (and, in any event, within
five (5) days of such occurrence) written notice to Bank and to its insurers of such loss or damage and shall properly file its proofs of loss with said insurers. 
  
 (d) In the event the whole or materially all of the Collateral (including the Mortgaged Property) shall be destroyed or
damaged, Bank shall have the right to collect the proceeds of any insurance and to retain and apply such proceeds, at its election, to the reduction of the Loan, in inverse order of maturity, and any other amounts due and owing under the Loan
Documents, or to restoration, repair, replacement, rebuilding or alteration (herein sometimes collectively called the “Restoration”) of the Collateral (including the Mortgaged Property). In the event the whole or materially all of
the Mortgaged Property shall be taken in condemnation proceedings or by agreement between Borrower and Bank and the condemning authority, Bank shall apply such award or proceeds thereof first to payment of the Loan, in inverse order of maturity, and
any other amounts due and owing under the Loan Documents, and any balance then remaining shall be paid to Borrower. For the purposes of this Section 5.3, “materially all of the Mortgaged Property” shall be deemed to have been damaged,
destroyed or taken if the portion of the Mortgaged Property not so damaged, destroyed or taken cannot be repaired or reconstructed so as to constitute a complete structure and facility usable in substantially the manner as prior to the damage,
destruction or taking. 
  

 - 20 - 








 (e) So long as no Event of Default has occurred, in the event of partial destruction of the Collateral
(including the Mortgaged Property) or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property, all of the proceeds or awards shall be collected and held by Bank, and shall be applied by Bank, in its sole discretion, to the repayment of the Loan, in the
inverse order of maturity, and any other amounts due and owing under the Loan Documents, with any proceeds then remaining being paid to Borrower, or to the payment of the Restoration. Upon the written request of Borrower, Bank shall apply such
proceeds or awards to the payment of the Restoration as the Restoration progresses, so long as: 
  
 (i) Such proceeds are, in Bank’s reasonable judgment, sufficient to cover the cost of such Restoration or, if insufficient, Borrower
deposits with Bank the amount of any such deficiency, 
  
 (ii) Borrower shall deliver to Bank contracts, plans and specifications for the Restoration which are satisfactory to Bank, 
  
 (iii) the work for which payment is requested has been done in a good and workmanlike manner and Borrower presents evidence satisfactory
to Bank of amounts owed or paid by Borrower for completed Restoration work, 
  
 (iv) The Collateral (including the Mortgaged Property), after such Restoration is or will be, in the reasonable judgment of Bank, of an economic value not less than that of such Collateral prior to the casualty or
condemnation (Bank has the right, but not the obligation, to perform an appraisal on the Collateral in order to determine its economic value), and 
  
 (v) Borrower shall comply with such further conditions in connection with the use of such proceeds or award as Bank may reasonably
request. 
  
 Any balance remaining in the hands of Bank after
payment of such Restoration shall be retained by Bank and applied to the payment of the Loan, in the inverse order of maturity, and any other amounts due and owing under the Loan Documents. 
  

 - 21 - 








 (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3 regarding insurance or condemnation
proceeds, if no Event of Default has occurred, and if such proceeds do not exceed $1,000,000.00, and if the undamaged or uncondemned portion of the Collateral (including the Mortgaged Property) can be continuously used during the Restoration period
as a complete structure and operating facility in substantially the same manner as prior to the damage, Borrower shall have the right to collect the insurance or condemnation proceeds and apply them to the Restoration. 
  
 (g) No damage, destruction or condemnation of the Collateral (including the
Mortgaged Property) nor any application of insurance or condemnation proceeds to the payment of the Loan, and any other amounts due and owing under the Loan Documents, shall postpone or reduce the amount of any of the current installments of
principal or interest becoming due under the Loan, and any other amounts due and owing under the Loan Documents, which shall continue to be made in accordance with the terms of the Loan until the Loan, all interest due thereunder and any other
amounts due and owing under the Loan Documents are paid in full. 
  
 (h) Borrower, as of the date hereof has, and shall maintain, in full force and effect business interruption insurance in the coverage amount of at least $5,000,000. 
  
 (i) The provisions of this Section shall be in addition to any similar requirements set forth in the Security Agreement and
the Mortgage. 
  
 Section 5.4 Maintenance of Properties.

  
 Borrower will maintain or cause to be maintained its
properties in good repair, working order and condition and make or cause to be made all appropriate and proper repairs, renewals, replacements, additions and improvements thereto. Borrower shall install and maintain its equipment and systems in
compliance in all material respects with any requirement imposed under any governmental regulations, permits, or licenses or under agreements affecting Borrower. Borrower shall maintain, preserve and protect, and, when necessary, renew, all
Intellectual Property, except where the failure to do any of the foregoing would not have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, upon the financial condition, results of operation or business prospects of Borrower. 

 

 - 22 - 








 Section 5.5 Inspection. 
  
 (a) Upon reasonable notice Borrower will allow any representative of Bank to visit and inspect any of its properties, to
examine the books of account and other records and files of Borrower (including, without limitation, the financial statements (audited and unaudited, to the extent prepared) and information with respect to Borrower), to make copies thereof;
provided, prior to an Event of Default such visits, inspections and examinations shall be limited to four (4) times in any calendar year.

such reasonable times (and to the extent feasible, during ordinary business hours) and as often as Bank may reasonably request.

 Borrower will not amend, or consent to, any amendment or supplement to, its certificate of incorporation or other
organization document which amendment or supplement would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the rights or interests of the Bank hereunder. Borrower shall preserve and maintain its corporate existence and good standing in its jurisdiction of
incorporation, and qualify and remain qualified as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such failure to so qualify would reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse effect on the Borrower’s business operations or the
Collateral. 
  
 Section 5.7 Subsidiaries.

  
 Borrower will not form or acquire any subsidiary without
the written consent of Bank, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
  
 Section 5.8 Compliance with Laws. 
  
 Borrower shall comply with all applicable laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to its business, including, without limitation, all Environmental Laws and Securities Laws, except to the extent that the
failure to so comply would not have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the financial condition, operations or business prospects of Borrower. 
  
 Section 5.9 Federal Reserve Regulations. 
  
 No proceeds of the Loans shall be used by Borrower, directly or indirectly to purchase or carry any margin stock or to
extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock. Borrower will not, directly or indirectly, otherwise take or permit to be taken any action which would result in the Loans or the carrying out of any of the other
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, being violative of Regulation T (12 C.F.R. 220, as amended), Regulation U (12 C.F.R. 221, as amended), Regulation X (12 C.F.R. 224, as amended), or any other regulation of the Board of Governors of the

or business prospects of Borrower, Borrower shall comply in all material respects with all applicable provisions of ERISA with respect to each Plan as to which Borrower has any liability, including minimum funding requirements, and shall not (i)
allow any Prohibited Transaction to occur with respect to any such Plan, (ii) allow any Reportable Event to occur with respect to any such Plan subject to Title IV of ERISA which would cause the PBGC to institute proceedings under Section 4042 of
ERISA, (iii) withdraw from any such Plan subject to Title IV of ERISA or initiate steps to do so, or (iv) take any steps to terminate any such Plan subject to Title IV of ERISA.

dividend or other distribution with respect to its capital stock. 
  
 (h) Leasebacks. Directly or indirectly sell or otherwise transfer, in one or more related transactions, any property (whether real, personal or mixed) and thereafter rent or lease such transferred property or substantially identical
property. 
  
 (i) Transactions with Affiliates. Directly or
indirectly, engage in any transaction, other than issuances with respect to equity interests in the Borrower, with an Affiliate of Borrower on terms that are less favorable to Borrower than those which might be obtained at the time from Persons
which are not an Affiliate of Borrower. 
  
 (j) Fiscal

 Section 5.12
Liquidity; Additional Collateral; Grant of Security Interest. 
  
 Within 14 days after the Second Advance, Borrower shall have deposited all of its Financial Assets, other than $100,000, in account(s) maintained by the Bank and/or its affiliates. Thereafter, Borrower shall keep and
maintain all of its Financial Assets, other than $100,000, in an account or accounts with the Bank and/or its affiliates except as may be necessary to fund the Borrower’s business, or as otherwise consented to in writing by Bank. At any time on
or after the fourth anniversary date of Closing, or if Borrower fails to maintain Liquidity of at least $22,000,000 (based on Bank’s determination in its sole discretion), Bank may require, in its sole discretion, that Borrower obtain and
deliver to Bank a standby letter of credit within ten (10) days of Bank’s request thereof, issued by a bank reasonably acceptable to Bank in its sole discretion, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, in the outstanding
principal amount of the Loan as additional collateral (“Additional Collateral”). Bank shall be permitted 
  

 - 25 - 








 to make partial draws upon the Additional Collateral for payments of principal and interest. Borrower hereby creates and
grants to Bank and its affiliates a security interest in and lien upon the Liquidity, provided that such security interest and lien shall attach and become perfected (a) upon the earlier of (i) Bank’s receipt of notice from a Person that
has provided Capital Lease financing to Borrower, which notice evidences such Person’s commencement of, or intention to commence, foreclosure or other action against the Borrower or such equipment, or (ii) commencement by a Person that has
provided Capital Lease financing to Borrower of foreclosure or other action against the Borrower or the financed equipment; or (b) if, for any reason, Borrower does not obtain and deliver to Bank the Additional Collateral as provided herein, and
further provided that such security interest and lien shall be limited to an amount equal to the outstanding balance of the Loan at the time of such attachment and perfection, and all other amounts due and payable under this Agreement.
Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to file and record, and agrees and covenants that it will execute and deliver to Bank, any and all such UCC financing statements, agreements, documents, instruments and/or certificates necessary for the perfection of
such security interest and lien. 
  
 Section 5.13 Updates to
Disclosure Schedule. 
  
 Following the Closing and prior
to the Second and (if applicable) Third Advances, Borrower shall be permitted to amend and update the Disclosure Schedule to reflect any events occurring after the Closing and permitted under the terms of the Loan Documents that, if not reflected,
would cause the Disclosure Schedule to be materially incorrect; provided that no such change constitutes a default or Event of Default thereunder, Borrower shall make any such amendment (and notify Bank of same) promptly after becoming aware of the
need therefore, and such amended Disclosure Schedule shall be incorporated as part of this Agreement and shall replace the Disclosure Schedule then existing. 
  
 Section 5.14 Copies of Documents Evidencing Permitted Indebtedness. 
  
 Borrower agrees to deliver to Bank copies of all documents evidencing any Permitted Indebtedness incurred by Borrower
subsequent to the date of Closing within ten (10) days after consummation of the transaction giving rise to such Permitted Indebtedness.

other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator,

 (f) An involuntary case or other proceeding shall be commenced against
Borrower seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to it or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or

agreement on its part to be performed under any agreement or instrument evidencing or securing or relating to any such Credit Obligation when required to be performed, if the effect of such failure is to accelerate, or to permit the holder or
holders of such Credit Obligation in excess of $250,000 to accelerate, the maturity of such Credit Obligation, whether or not such failure to perform shall be waived by the holder or holders of such Credit Obligation, unless such waiver has the
effect of terminating the right of such holder or holders to accelerate the maturity of such Credit Obligation as a result of such failure; or 
  
 (i) If any representation or warranty by or on behalf of Borrower made herein or in any report, certificate, financial statement or other instrument
delivered to Bank shall prove to be false or misleading in any material respect when made; or 
  
 (j) If any default shall occur with respect to any other indebtedness of Borrower to Bank in excess of $25,000, subject to Borrower’s right to notice and opportunity to cure, if any, under the instruments which
evidence or secure such indebtedness; or 
  

 - 27 - 








 (k) The occurrence of any material adverse change in the business, financial condition, results of
operations or business prospects of Borrower, as determined by Bank in its sole discretion; or

agency or authority. 
  
 ARTICLE 7. 
 REMEDIES; ACCELERATION 
  
 If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Bank may, by written notice to Borrower, (a) declare the entire unpaid principal amount of the
Loan, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts payable hereunder to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Note, all such accrued interest and all such amounts shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without
presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower; (b) exercise its rights under the Mortgage and the Security Agreement; and (c) exercise all of the rights and remedies of a secured
party under the Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable law or agreement with respect to all Collateral and Additional Collateral then held for the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Loan, together
with all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be immediately due and payable hereunder, without notice, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Sections 6.1(e) and (f) above. 

 
 Bank shall have no obligation to marshal any Collateral or Additional
Collateral or to seek recourse against or satisfaction of any of the liabilities hereunder from one source before seeking recourse against or satisfaction from another source. The net cash proceeds resulting from Bank’s exercise of any of its
rights and remedies hereunder, including any and all collections (after deducting all of Bank’s expenses related thereto), shall be applied by Bank on account of Borrower’s liabilities hereunder in such order as Bank shall elect in its
sole discretion, whether due or to become due. Borrower shall remain liable to Bank for any deficiencies. All of Bank’s remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative, may be exercised simultaneously against any
Collateral and any Additional Collateral and in such order as Bank may deem desirable, and are not intended to be exhaustive. 
  

 - 28 - 








 ARTICLE 8. 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 Section 8.1 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. 
  
 No failure or delay on the part of Bank or Borrower in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. No waiver of any provision hereof shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Bank and Borrower. 
  
 Section 8.2 Set-Off. 
  
 Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank
shall have the right, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Bank, without prior notice to Borrower, to apply toward and set-off against and apply to the then unpaid balance of the Loan and any other amounts due and owing under
the Loan Documents any items or funds held by Bank, any and all deposits (whether general or special, time or demand, matured or unmatured, fixed or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated) and Financial Assets now or hereafter maintained by Borrower
for its own account with Bank, and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by Bank to or for the credit or the account of Borrower. Bank is hereby authorized to charge any such account or indebtedness for any amounts then due to Bank. Such
right of set-off shall exist whether or not Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document. Borrower hereby confirms the Bank’s right of set-off, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed any
waiver or prohibition of such right of set-off. 
  
 Section 8.3
Indemnification. 
  
 Borrower covenants and agrees, at
its expense, to pay and to indemnify and save Bank, its partners, employees and agents, and their successors and/or assigns (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) harmless of, from and against, any and all claims, damages,
demands, expenses, liabilities, and losses of every kind, character and nature asserted by or on behalf of any Person (including Bank) arising out of, resulting from or in any way connected with the Loan, or the negotiation, execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except for any claim, damage, demand, expense, liability or loss arising out of the Indemnified Parties’ own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
  
 In case any action shall be brought against the Indemnified Parties based
upon any of the above and in respect to which indemnity may be sought against Borrower, the party involved may request in writing that Borrower assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel satisfactory to such party, the payment
of all reasonable costs and expenses and the right to negotiate and consent to settlement. Any one or more of the Indemnified Parties shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action, to participate in defense thereof and Borrower
shall assume the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses with respect thereto. Borrower shall not be authorized to settle any such action on behalf of Bank without the prior written consent of Bank, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Borrower shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its consent, but if settled with the 
  

 - 29 - 








 consent of Borrower or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, Borrower agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. 
  
 Any provision herein or elsewhere to the contrary notwithstanding, this Section 8.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 
  
 Section 8.4 Notices. 
  
 Unless this Agreement specifically provides otherwise, all notices and other
communications that this Agreement requires or permits either party to give to the other shall be in writing and shall be given to such party at its address or telecopy number specified on the signature pages of this Agreement or at such other
address or telecopy number as shall be designated by such party in a notice to the other party complying with the terms of this Section 8.4. Unless this Agreement specifically provides otherwise, all notices and other communications will be
effective (a) if given by mail, when received, (b) if given by telecopy, when such telecopy is transmitted to the appropriate telecopy number and the sender receives confirmation of transmission during normal business hours, or (c) if given by any
other means, when delivered at the appropriate address, except that notices from Borrower to Bank pursuant to any of the provisions of Article II hereof shall not be effective until received by Bank. 
  
 Section 8.5 Governing Law. 
  
 This Agreement, the Note and the obligations arising under the Loan
Documents shall be in all respects governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania applicable to contracts made and performed in that Commonwealth, without regard to the principles of
conflicts of laws. 
  
 Section 8.6 Savings.

  
 Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, it
is the intent of Borrower and Bank to at all times comply with the usury and all other laws relating to the Loan now or hereafter in effect. It is agreed that the aggregate of all interest and other charges constituting interest or adjudicated to
constitute interest and contracted for, chargeable, or receivable in connection with the Loan shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowable by law. If the applicable laws are ever revised or judicially interpreted so as to render
usurious any amount called for hereunder, or contracted for, charged, chargeable, received or receivable with respect to the Loan, or if holder’s exercise of the option therein contained to accelerate the maturity of the Loan or any part
thereof results in Borrower’s having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then all excess amounts collected by holder will be credited on the principal balance of the Loan (or, if the Loan has been paid in full,
refunded to Borrower), and those provisions will immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible will be reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new documents, so as to comply with the then applicable law, but so
as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount of interest otherwise called for in respect of the Loan. If the maturity of the Loan is accelerated, then earned interest may never include more than the maximum amount of interest permitted by
applicable law from the date of each advance hereunder until paid. Specifically, but without in 
  

 - 30 - 








 any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, if from any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any provision
hereof of or any document, instrument or other agreement contemplated hereby, at the time performance of such provision is due, would cause the interest contracted for, charged, chargeable, received or receivable with respect to the Loan to exceed
the amount permitted by applicable law, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or therein, Borrower will only be required to pay to the holder, as interest, an amount equal to the lesser of the amounts payable hereunder or
under any such document, instrument or other agreement and the highest amount permitted by applicable law. In determining whether the amount of interest contracted for, charged, chargeable, received or receivable with respect to the Loan, or any
other agreements between Borrower and Bank would ever exceed the amount permitted by applicable law, all sums paid or agreed to be paid to the holder for the use, forbearance, or retention of the indebtedness of Borrower to Bank will, to the extent
possible under applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full term thereof until payment in full. The provisions of this paragraph control all agreements between Borrower and Bank with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby. 
  
 Section 8.7 Judicial
Proceedings. 
  
 (a) Borrower consents and agrees that
any judicial proceedings relating in any way to this Agreement may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Borrower hereby
accepts, for itself and its properties, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts, agrees to be bound by any judgments rendered by them in connection with this Agreement, and will not move to transfer any such proceeding to any different court.
Borrower waives the defense of forum non conveniens in any such action or proceeding. 
  
 (b) Service of process in any proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement may be made by any means permitted by the applicable rules of court as then in force, or may be made by any form of mail requiring
a signed receipt. 
  
 (c) Nothing herein shall limit the right of
Bank to bring proceedings against Borrower in the courts of any other jurisdiction or be deemed to constitute a consent to jurisdiction by any party hereto as to Persons not parties to this Agreement or as to matters not relating to this Agreement.

  
 (d) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF BORROWER AND BANK
HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. BORROWER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS A SPECIFIC AND MATERIAL ASPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT BANK WOULD NOT HAVE AGREED
TO MAKE ANY LOAN (INCLUDING ANY ADVANCE) OR ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY NOTE WITHOUT SUCH AGREEMENT. 
  
 (e) CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT. BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AUTHORIZES AND EMPOWERS BANK, BY ITS ATTORNEY OR BY THE PROTHONOTARY OR CLERK OF ANY COURT
OF RECORD IN COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA OR IN ANY JURISDICTION WHERE PERMITTED BY LAW, UPON 
  

 - 31 - 








 THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE CONTINUATION OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT, TO APPEAR FOR BORROWER AND CONFESS AND ENTER JUDGMENT
AGAINST BORROWER IN FAVOR OF BANK IN ANY JURISDICTION WHERE BORROWER OR ANY OF ITS PROPERTY IS LOCATED FOR THE AMOUNT OF ALL OBLIGATIONS AND OTHER SUMS DUE OR TO BECOME DUE BY BORROWER TO BANK UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH COSTS OF SUIT AND

VERIFIED BY AFFIDAVIT SHALL BE SUFFICIENT WARRANT. BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ALL RELIEF FROM ANY APPRAISEMENT, STAY OR EXEMPTION LAWS OF ANY STATE NOW IN FORCE OR HEREAFTER ENACTED. THIS AUTHORITY AND POWER SHALL NOT BE EXHAUSTED BY ANY EXERCISE
THEREOF, AND JUDGMENT MAY BE CONFESSED AS AFORESAID FROM TIME TO TIME AS OFTEN AS THERE IS OCCASION THEREFOR UNTIL ALL SUMS DUE AND OWING HEREUNDER ARE FULLY PAID, PERFORMED, DISCHARGED AND SATISFIED. 
  
 BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AUTHORIZES AND EMPOWERS BANK, BY ITS ATTORNEY OR
BY THE PROTHONOTARY OR CLERK OF ANY COURT OF RECORD IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA OR IN ANY JURISDICTION WHERE PERMITTED BY LAW, UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT, OR AT ANY TIME THEREAFTER, TO APPEAR FOR BORROWER, AS WELL AS FOR ANY
PERSONS CLAIMING UNDER, BY OR THROUGH BORROWER, IN AN ACTION OR ACTIONS FOR REPLEVIN OR OTHER APPROPRIATE ACTION AGAINST BORROWER TO CONFESS AND ENTER JUDGMENT AGAINST BORROWER, FOR RECOVERY OF POSSESSION OF ANY OR ALL OF THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY
