disreputable or extra hazardous use, take all necessary steps to discontinue such use. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant
acknowledges that the operation or storage of motor vehicles within the Premises is an extra hazardous use and is therefore prohibited.

coverage insurance on the building containing the Premises. Tenant shall procure and continue in force during the term hereof,
fire and extended coverage insurance on any and all personal property and fixtures of Tenant which are situated in the Premises.


 


All
insurance policies carried by either party covering the demised premises, including but not limited to contents, fire and casualty
insurance, shall expressly waive any right on the part of the insurer against the other party. The parties hereto agree that their
policies will include such waiver clause or endorsement so long as the same shall be obtainable without extra cost, or if extra
cost shall be charged therefor, so long as the other party pays such extra cost. If extra cost shall be chargeable therefor, each
party shall advise the other thereof and of the amount of the extra cost, and the other party, at its election, may pay the same,
but shall not be obligated to do so. Each of the parties hereby waives all claims for recovery from the other party for any loss
or damage to any of its property insured under such insurance policies not containing such subrogation waivers.


 


Section
21 - Condemnation, Destruction or Damage.


 


(a)
If the Premises, or any material portion thereof, are taken by eminent
domain, or condemned for public use, this Lease may be terminated by either party, and any and all awards for such taking shall
be the exclusive property of Landlord. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude Tenant from prosecuting any claim
directly against the condemning authority in such condemnation proceedings for loss of business or depreciation to, damage to,
or cost of removal of, equipment and other personal property belonging to Tenant, provided, however, that no such claim shall
diminish or otherwise adversely affect Landlord’s award or the award to any mortgagee.


 


(b)
In the event that the building of which the Premises are a part shall
be totally destroyed by fire or other casualty insured against, or shall be so damaged that repairs and restoration cannot be
accomplished within a period of sixty (60) days from the date of such destruction or damage, this Lease shall terminate at the
election of Landlord and each party shall be relieved of any further obligation to the other, except that Tenant shall be liable
for and shall promptly pay Landlord any rent then in arrears or Landlord shall promptly rebate to Tenant a pro rata portion of
any rent paid in advance. In the event the premises shall be so damaged that repairs and restoration can be accomplished within
a period of sixty (60) days from the date of such destruction or damage or if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease,
this Lease shall continue in effect in accordance with its terms; such repairs and restoration shall, unless otherwise agreed
by Landlord and Tenant, be performed promptly by Landlord as closely as practicable to the condition which existed as of the date
of the damage (utilizing therefor the proceeds of the insurance applicable thereto), and until such repairs and restoration have
been accomplished, a portion of the rent shall abate equal to the proportion of the Premises rendered unusable by the damage.
Landlord’s obligation to restore shall not extend to any of Tenant’s personal property or trade fixtures or to any
alterations, improvements or additions made by Tenant, the restoration of which will be Tenant’s obligation. It is understood
that Landlord’s obligation to restore, replace or rebuild shall not exceed in amount the sum of the insurance proceeds paid
to it and/or released to it by any mortgagee with which settlement was made. Tenant agrees to execute and deliver to Landlord
all instruments and documents necessary to evidence the fact that the right to such insurance proceeds is vested in Landlord by
the damage.

(c)
If the destruction or damage to the Premises has not been substantially restored or repaired within one hundred eighty (180) days
after the Landlord has received its insurance award, the Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease upon notice to the Landlord:
provided that the Tenant shall not have the right to terminate if the destruction or damage has been substantially restored or
repaired prior to the date of Tenant’s notification.

herein provided for, Tenant shall peaceably and quietly quit the Premises and deliver possession of the same to Landlord.

any mortgage hereafter executed to a bank, trust company or other recognized lending institution to provide permanent financing
or refinancing of the land and improvements containing the Premises, and (3) any renewal, modification, consolidation or extension
of any mortgage referred to in clause (1) and (2). Tenant shall, upon demand at any time or times, execute, acknowledge and deliver
to Landlord without any expense to Tenant, any and all instruments that may be necessary or proper to subordinate this Lease and
all rights of Tenant hereunder to the lien of a mortgage referred to in (2) or (3) of the preceding sentence as a condition precedent
to the effectiveness of this Lease. Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with a Non Disturbance Agreement from its lender.


 


Section
24 - Environmental Matters.


 


(a)
Tenant represents and warrants that it shall not use the Premises for
the Storage, Treatment or Disposal of Hazardous Wastes, except in full compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and requirements

(c)
Tenant agrees to take responsibility for any remedial action required
by Government Authorities having jurisdiction regarding any Hazardous Material or Hazardous Waste owned, controlled, used or manufactured
by Tenant, or for which Tenant is otherwise legally responsible. Tenant shall pay all costs in connection with any such investigation
or remedial activity including, without limitation, all installation, operation, maintenance, testing, and monitoring costs, all
power and utility costs and any and all pumping taxes or fees that may be applicable to Tenant’s activities. Tenant shall
perform all such work in a good, safe and workmanlike manner, in compliance with all laws and regulations thereto, and shall diligently
pursue any required investigation and remedial activity until Tenant is allowed to terminate these activities by those Government
Authorities having jurisdiction.


 


(d)
Tenant shall conduct any testing, monitoring, reporting and remedial activities
in connection with the Premises in a good, safe and workmanlike manner, and in compliance with all laws and regulations applicable

the Premises, repair, or remediation and the preparation of any closure or other activity required by any Governmental Authority,
(iv) any lawsuit brought or threatened, good faith settlement reached, or governmental order relating to the presence, disposal,
release or threatened release of any Hazardous Material or Hazardous Waste referred to in subparagraph (c), on, from or under
the land and building containing the Premises and (v) the imposition of any liens on the land and building containing the Premises
arising from Tenant’s activities on or about the Premises or from the existence of Hazardous Material or Hazardous Waste
referred to in subparagraph (c).


 


(f)
Tenant shall have no responsibility for Hazardous Waste or Hazardous Materials
existing on the Premises on the date that Tenant first takes occupancy of the Premises or for such Hazardous Waste or Hazardous
materials deposited by Landlord or any other tenant; except that Tenant shall be responsible for any costs and expenses incurred
by or assessed against Landlord which result from Tenant’s activities or from aggravation of such preexisting or future
conditions during the tenancy of Tenant.


 


(g)
Tenant shall use its best efforts (including payment of money) not to
cause or suffer any lien to be recorded against the land and building containing the Premises as a consequence of, or in any way
related to, the presence, remediation or disposal of Hazardous Material or Hazardous Waste in or about the Premises, including
any mechanics’ liens and any so-called state, federal or local “superfund” lien relating to such matters.


 


Section
25 - Americans With Disabilities Act. Landlord warrants that upon the Commencement Date, the Premises will comply with all
applicable codes, including the ADA (as defined below) and OSHA. After the Commencement Date, Tenant shall comply with all applicable
provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (“ADA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Tenant
hereby expressly assumes all responsibility for compliance with the ADA relating to the Premises and the activities conducted
by Tenant within the Premises. Any alterations to the Premises made by Tenant for the purpose of complying with the ADA or which
otherwise require compliance with the ADA shall be done in accordance with this Lease; provided, that Landlord’s consent
to such alterations shall not constitute either Landlord’s assumption in whole or in part, of Tenant’s responsibility
for compliance with the ADA, or representation or confirmation by Landlord that such alterations comply with the provisions of
the ADA.


 











Section
26 - Default. In the event (i) any installment of rent or additional rent shall not be paid within five (5) days after notice
to the Tenant that the same is due and payable: or (ii) Tenant defaults in the performance or observance of any other covenant
or condition in this Lease and such default remains unremedied for ten (10) days, after written notice thereof has been given
to Tenant by Landlord; provided, however, the Tenant shall not be in terminable default if such non monetary default is incapable
of being remedied within the ten (10) day period, and, if Tenant has commenced a cure within said ten (10) day period and thereafter
prosecutes the cure diligently to completion, or (iii) Tenant makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, files a voluntary
petition in bankruptcy, is adjudicated insolvent or bankrupt, petitions or applies to any tribunal for any receiver or any trustee
of or for Tenant of any substantial part of its property, commences any proceeding relating to Tenant or any substantial part
of its property under any reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation law or statute of any
jurisdiction, whether now or hereafter in effect, or there is commenced against Tenant any such proceeding which remains undismissed
for a period of sixty (60) days, or any order approving the petition in any such proceeding is entered, or Tenant by any act indicates
its consent to, or acquiescence in any such proceeding or the appointment of any receiver of or trustee for Tenant of any substantial
part of its property, or suffers any such receivership or trusteeship to continue undischarged for a period of sixty (60) days,
then in any of such events. Landlord may immediately or at any time thereafter and without demand terminate this Lease by written
notice to Tenant thereof or, without demand or notice enter upon the Premises or any part thereof in the name of the whole and
repossess the same as of Landlord's former estate and expel Tenant and those claiming through or under Tenant and remove their
effects forcibly, if necessary, without being deemed guilty of any manner of trespass and without prejudice to any remedies which
might otherwise be used for arrears of rent or preceding breach of covenant. Upon such termination notice or entry this Lease
shall terminate, and Tenant covenants that, in case of such termination by reason of the default of Tenant, Tenant shall remain
and continue liable to Landlord in an amount equal to the total rent reserved for the balance of the term hereof plus all additional
rent reserved for the balance of the term hereof less the net amounts (after deducting the expenses of repair, renovation or demolition
and attorneys fees and leasing commissions) which Landlord realizes from the reletting of the Premises. As used in this Section,
the term “additional rent” means the obligations of Tenant under Section 4 and the value of all considerations other
than rent agreed to be paid or performed by Tenant hereunder, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, taxes,
assessments and insurance premiums. Landlord shall have the right from time to time to relet the Premises upon such terms as it
may deem fit, and if a sufficient sum shall not be thus realized to yield the net rent required under this Lease, Tenant agrees
to satisfy and pay all deficiencies as they may become due during each month of the remaining term of this Lease. Nothing herein
contained shall be deemed to require Landlord to await the date whereon this Lease, or the term hereof, would have expired had
there been no default by Tenant, or no such termination or cancellation. Tenant expressly waives service of any notice of intention
to reenter and waives any and all right to recover or regain possession of the Premises, or to reinstate or redeem this Lease
as may be permitted or provided for by or under any statute or law now or hereafter in force and effect. The rights and remedies
given to Landlord in this Lease are distinct, separate and cumulative remedies, and no one of them, whether or not exercised by
Landlord, shall be deemed to be in exclusion of any of the others herein or by law or equity provided. Nothing contained in this
Section shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove and obtain, in proceedings involving the bankruptcy or insolvency
of, or a composition with creditors by. Tenant the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law at the time in effect. The Landlord
agrees to use reasonable efforts to mitigate the Tenant’s damages in the event that the Tenant defaults in its monetary
obligations hereunder.

but has failed or refused to make. The preceding sentence does not impose upon Landlord any obligation to make repairs. Landlord
also reserves the right to alter, change, close or limit access to any portion of the common areas on the Property or to designate
portions of such common areas for use by a single Tenant of the Property.


 


Section
29 - Holding Over. Except for mutual consent by Landlord and Tenant, any holding over by Tenant after the expiration of the

in this Lease as far as applicable.

the other in writing of a different address, be properly given if sent by certified or registered first class mail, postage prepaid,

GUARANTY
OF LEASE


 


For
value received, and in consideration for, and as an inducement to Landlord to enter into the foregoing Lease with Tenant, the
undersigned (“Guarantor”) does unconditionally guaranty to Landlord the complete and due performance of each and every
agreement, covenant, term and condition of the Lease to be performed by Tenant, including without limitation the full and punctual
payment of all sums of money stated in the Lease to be payable by Tenant. The validity of this guaranty and the obligations of
Guarantor shall not be terminated, affected, or impaired by reason of the granting by Landlord of any indulgences to Tenant. This
guaranty shall remain and continue in full force and effect as to any renewal, amendment, modification, or extension of the Lease,
whether or not Guarantor shall have received any notice of or consented to such renewal, amendment, modification or extension,
consent or notice of and to Guarantor not being required in any event. The liability of Guarantor under this guaranty shall be
primary, and in any right of action which shall accrue to Landlord under the Lease, Landlord may proceed against Guarantor and
Tenant, jointly and severally, and may proceed against Guarantor without having commenced any action against or having obtained
any judgment against Tenant. Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty by Landlord, notice of default by Tenant
under the Lease, and all suretyship and guarantorship defenses generally. Failure of Landlord to insist upon strict performance
or observance of any of the terms, provisions or covenants of the Lease and/or this Guaranty or to exercise any right therein
contained shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment or the failure of any such term, provisions, covenant, or rights,
and the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect. Receipt by Landlord of rent with knowledge of the breach of any
provision of the Lease and/or this Guaranty shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. Further Guarantor covenants and agree
that it shall not be released from the obligations of this Guaranty, nor shall said obligations be diminished or otherwise affected
(a) by the acceptance by Landlord of any security for the punctual and full payment of said rent or the punctual and full performance
and observance of said Tenant obligations, or the release, surrender, substitution or modification of any security from time to
time held by Landlord, or by any act or omission to act by Landlord with respect to any such security, or (b) by any other matter
whatsoever whereby Guarantor would or might be released, it being the intent hereof that Guarantor shall at all times be and remain
jointly and severally liable with Tenant to Landlord for the performance of all the terms, conditions and provisions in the Lease
contained on the part of the Tenant to be performed. The liability of Guarantor hereunder shall in no way be affected by: (a)
the release or discharge of Tenant or any creditors’ receivership, bankruptcy, or other proceedings; (b) the impairment,
limitation, or modification of the liability of Tenant, or the estate of the Tenant in bankruptcy, or any remedy for the enforcement

lender(s) on a confidential basis in such detail as is reasonably
requested by Landlord, the Tenant’s financial strength and profitability has not deteriorated and is equal to or better
than the Tenant’s financial condition on the commencement date.

LEASE
SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE

OF POSSESSION AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT


 


This
Lease Subordination, Non-Disturbance of Possession and Attornment Agreement (hereinafter, the “Subordination, Non-Disturbance
and Attornment Agreement” or “Agreement”) is made as of the 5th day of December, 2000, among Fleet
National Bank, a national banking association, having a place of business at One Federal Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110 (hereinafter,
the “Lender”), One Clark Street North Andover LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company with offices c/o Aries
Property Company, LLC, 121 Middle Street, Portland, Maine 04101 (hereinafter, the “Landlord” or “Borrower”),
and Comfort Foods. Inc., a Massachusetts corporation with a place of business at (hereinafter, the “Tenant”).


 


Introductory
Provisions


 


A.
Lender is relying on this Agreement as an inducement to Lender in making and maintaining a
loan (hereinafter, the “Loan”) secured by, among other things, a Construction Mortgage and Security Agreement dated
as of __________, 2000 (hereinafter, the “Mortgage”) given by Borrower covering
property commonly known as and numbered One Clark Street, North Andover, Massachusetts (hereinafter, the “Property”).
Lender is also the “Assignee” under a Collateral Assignment of Leases and Rents (hereinafter, the “Assignment”)
dated as of ___________, 2000, from Borrower with respect to the Property.


 


B. Tenant
is the tenant under that certain lease (hereinafter, the “Lease”) dated 12/06/2000, made with Landlord, covering
certain premises (hereinafter, the “Premises”) at the Property as more particularly described in the
Lease.


 


C.
Lender requires, as a condition to the making and maintaining of the Loan, that the Mortgage
be and remain superior to the Lease and that Lender’s rights under the Assignment be recognized.


 


D.
Tenant requires as a condition to the Lease being subordinate to the Mortgage that its rights
under the Lease be recognized.


 


E.
Lender, Landlord, and Tenant desire to confirm their understanding with respect to the Mortgage
and the Lease.


 


NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and other valuable consideration,
the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, and with the understanding by Tenant that Lender shall rely hereon
in making and maintaining the Loan, Lender, Landlord, and Tenant agree as follows:


 


	 	1.	Subordination.
    The Lease and the rights of Tenant thereunder are subordinate and inferior to the lien of the mortgage and any amendment,
    renewal, substitution, extension or replacement thereof and each advance made thereunder as though the Mortgage, and each
    such amendment, renewal, substitution, extension or replacement were executed and recorded, and the advance made, before the
    execution of the Lease.
	 	 	 
	 	2.	Non-Disturbance.
    So long as Tenant is not in default (beyond any period expressed in the Lease within which Tenant may cure such default) in
    the payment of rent or in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease on Tenant’s
    part to be performed or observed, (i) Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises shall not be disturbed by Lender in the exercise
    of any of its rights under the Mortgage during the term of the Lease, or any extension or renewal thereof made in accordance
    with the terms of the Lease, and (ii) Lender will not join Tenant as a party defendant in any action or proceeding for the
    purpose of terminating Tenant’s interest and estate under the Lease because of any default under the Mortgage.


 




    	1



     


    

 





	 	3.	Attornment
    and Certificates. In the event Lender succeeds to the interest of Borrower as Landlord under the Lease, or if the Property
    or the Premises are sold pursuant to the power of sale under the Mortgage, Tenant shall attorn to Lender, or a purchaser upon
    any such foreclosure sale, and shall recognize Lender, or such purchaser, thereafter as the Landlord under the Lease. Such
    attornment shall be effective and self operative without the execution of any further instrument. Tenant agrees, however,
    to execute and deliver at any time and from time to time, upon the request of any holder(s) of any of the indebtedness or
    other obligations secured by the Mortgage, or upon request of any such purchaser, (a) any instrument or certificate which,
    in the reasonable judgment of such holder(s), or such purchaser, may be necessary or appropriate in any such foreclosure proceeding
    or otherwise to evidence such attornment, and (b) an instrument or certificate regarding the status of the Lease, consisting
    of statements, if true (and if not true, specifying in what respect), (i) that the Lease is in full force and effect, (ii)
    the date through which rentals have been paid, (iii) the duration and date of the commencement of the term of the Lease, (iv)
    the nature of any amendments or modifications to the Lease, (v) that no default, or state of facts, which with the passage
    of time, or notice, or both, would constitute a default, exists on the part of either party to the Lease, and (vi) the dates
    on which payments of additional rent, if any, are due under the Lease.
	 	 	 
	 	4.	Limitations.
    If Lender exercises any of its rights under the Assignment or the Mortgage, or if Lender shall succeed to the interest of
    Landlord under the Lease in any manner, or if any purchaser acquires the Property, or the Premises, upon or after any foreclosure
    of the Mortgage, or any deed in lieu thereof, Lender or such purchaser, as the case may be, shall have the same remedies by
    entry, action or otherwise in the event of any default by Tenant (beyond any period expressed in the Lease within which Tenant
    may cure such default) in the payment of rent or in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants and conditions
    of the Lease on Tenant’s part to be paid, performed or observed that the Landlord had or would have had if Lender or
    such purchaser had not succeeded to the interest of the present Landlord. From and after any such attornment, Lender or such
    purchaser shall be bound to Tenant under all the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease, and Tenant shall, from and
    after such attornment to Lender, or to such purchaser, have the same remedies against Lender, or such purchaser, for the breach
    of an agreement contained in the Lease that Tenant might have had under the Lease against Landlord, if Lender or such purchaser
    had not succeeded to the interest of Landlord. Provided, however, that Lender or such purchaser shall only be
    bound during the period of its ownership, and that in the case of the exercise by Lender of its rights under the Mortgage,
    or the Assignment, or any combination thereof, or a foreclosure, or deed in lieu of foreclosure, all Tenant claims shall be
    satisfied only out of the interest, if any, of Lender, or such purchaser, in the Property, and Lender and such purchaser shall
    not be (a) liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including the Landlord); or (b) liable for or incur any obligation
    with respect to the construction of the Property or any improvements of the Premises or the Property; or (c) subject to any
    offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against any prior landlord (including the Landlord); or (d) bound by any rent
    or additional rent which Tenant might have paid for more than the then current rental period to any prior landlord (including
    the Landlord); or (e) bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease, or (f) except for any assignment or sublet permitted
    under the Lease as to which Landlord’s consent is not required, bound by tiny assignment or sublet, made without Lender’s
    prior written consent; or (g) bound by or responsible for any security deposit not actually received by Lender; or (h) liable
    for or incur any obligation with respect to any breach of warranties or representations of any nature under the Lease or otherwise
    including without limitation any warranties or representations respecting use, compliance with zoning, landlord’s title,
    landlord’s authority, habitability and/or fitness for any purpose, or possession; or (j) liable for consequential damages.
	 	 	 
	 	5	Rights
    Reserved. Nothing herein contained is intended, nor shall it be construed, to abridge or adversely affect any right or
    remedy of: (a) the Landlord under the Lease, or any subsequent Landlord, against the Tenant in the event of any default by
    Tenant (beyond any period expressed in the Lease within which Tenant may cure such default) in the payment of rent or in the
    performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed
    or observed; or (b) the Tenant under the Lease against the original or any prior Landlord in the event of any default by the
    original Landlord to pursue claims against such original or prior Landlord whether or not such claim is barred against Lender
    or a subsequent purchaser.


 




    	2



     


    

 





	 	6.	Notice
    and Right to Cure. Tenant agrees to provide Lender with a copy of each notice of default under the Lease or failure of
    Landlord to satisfy a condition precedent to Tenant’s obligations under the Lease, at the same time as Tenant provides
    Landlord with such notice, and that in the event of any default or failure by the Landlord under the Lease, Tenant will take
    no action to terminate the Lease (a) if the default or failure is not curable by Lender (so long as the default does not interfere
    with Tenant’s use and occupation of the Premises), or (b) if the default or failure is curable by Lender, unless the
    default or failure remains uncured for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof shall have been given, postage
    prepaid, to Landlord at Landlord’s address, and to Lender at the address provided in Section 7 below; provided,
    however, that if any such default or failure is such that it reasonably cannot be cured within such thirty (30) day
    period, such period shall be extended for such additional period of time as shall be reasonably necessary (including, without
    limitation, a reasonable period of time to obtain possession of the Property and to foreclose the Mortgage), if Lender gives
    Tenant written notice within such thirty (30) day period of Lender’s election to undertake the cure of the default or
    failure and if curative action (including, without limitation, action to obtain possession and foreclose) is instituted within
    a reasonable period of time and is thereafter diligently pursued. Lender shall have no obligation to cure any default or failure
    under the Lease.
	 	 	 
	 	7.	Notices.
    Any notice or communication required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing, and shall be given or delivered: (i) by United
    States mail, registered or certified, postage fully prepaid, return receipt requested, or (ii) by recognized courier service

Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given and received on the date delivered or tendered for delivery during normal business

	8.	Construction
    Obligations.


 


	 	a.
    	The
    Tenant agrees that the Lender shall have no obligation to complete the construction obligations of the Landlord under the
    Lease, unless within thirty (30) days of the earlier of the Lender (i) giving notice to the Tenant of the Lender’s assumption
    of the Landlord’s obligations under the Lease or (ii) taking possession of, or acquiring title to, die Premises, the
    Lender elects in writing to complete such construction obligations.


 


	9.	No
    Oral Change. This Agreement may not be modified orally or in any manner than by an agreement in writing signed by the
    parties hereto or their respective successors in interest.
	 	 
	10.	Successors
    and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, their respective heirs,
    personal representatives, successors and assigns, and any purchaser or purchasers at foreclosure of the Property or any portion
    thereof, and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.
	 	 
	11.	Payment
    of Rent To Lender. Tenant acknowledges that it has notice that the Lease and the rent and all sums due thereunder have
    been assigned to Lender as part of the security for the obligations secured by the mortgage. In the event Lender notifies
    Tenant of a default under the Loan and demands that Tenant pay its rent and all other sums due under the Lease to Lender,
    Tenant agrees that it will honor such demand and pay its rent and all other sums due under the Lease to Lender, or Lender’s
    designated agent, until otherwise notified in writing by Lender. Borrower unconditionally authorizes and directs Tenant to
    make rental payments directly to Lender following receipt of such notice and further agrees that Tenant may rely upon such
    notice without any obligation to further inquire as to whether or not any default exists under the Mortgage or the Assignment,
    and that Borrower shall have no right or claim against Tenant for or by reason of any payments of tent or other charges made
    by Tenant to Lender following receipt of such notice.


 




    	4



     


    

 





	12.	No
    Amendment or Cancellation of Lease. So long as the Mortgage remains undischarged of record, Tenant shall not amend, modify,
    cancel or terminate the Lease, or consent to an amendment, modification, cancellation or termination of the Lease, or agree
    to subordinate the Lease to any other mortgage, without Lender’s prior written consent in each instance.
	 	 
	13.	Option.
    With respect to any options for additional space provided to Tenant under the Lease, Lender agrees to recognize the same if
    Tenant is entitled thereto under the Lease after the date on which Lender succeeds as Landlord under the Lease by virtue of
    foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure or Lender takes possession of the Premises; provided, however, Lender
    shall not be responsible for any acts of any prior landlord under the lease, or the act of any tenant, subtenant or other
    party which prevents Lender from complying with the provisions hereof and Tenant shall have no right to cancel the Lease or
    to make any claims against Lender on account thereof.
	 	 
	14.	Captions.
    Captions and headings of sections are not parts of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to affect the meaning or construction
    of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
	 	 
	15.	Counterparts.
    This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts each of which when executed and delivered is an original, but all of
    which together shall constitute one instrument.
	 	 
	16.	Governing
    Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
	 	 
	17.	Parties
    Bound. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Tenant, Lender and Borrower
    and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, reference to successors and assigns of Tenant
    shall not constitute a consent by Landlord or Borrower to an assignment or sublet by Tenant, but has reference only to those
    instances in which such consent is not required pursuant to the Lease or for which such consent has been given.

WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of the date first above written.
