(vi) such Credit Card Receivable is not subject to a valid and perfect lien and security interest in favor of Lender, senior in priority to all other liens;

(vii) such Credit Card Receivable is subject to risk of set-off, non-collection or not being processed due to unpaid and/or accrued credit card processor fee balances due to any Credit Card Issuer or Credit Card Processor, limited to the lesser of the balance of the Credit Card Receivable or such unpaid credit card processor fees; or

1.1.5 Accrued interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loan shall be payable in accordance with the terms of that certain Secured Revolving Line of Credit Note of even date made and delivered by Borrower and payable to the order of Lender in the maximum principal amount of FIVE MILLION and 00/100 DOLLARS ($5,000,000.00) (as it may be amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Revolving Note”). Interest on the Revolving Loan shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year, for the actual number of days elapsed. Default interest shall be charged in accordance with the terms of the Revolving Note.

1.1.6 If not sooner paid, the then outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loan, together with all accrued and outstanding interest and fees thereon, shall be payable in full without notice or demand on January 19, 2024 (the “Revolving Loan Maturity Date”). On any date on which a regularly scheduled payment of accrued interest is due and payable under the Revolving Note, Lender may charge the Operating Account (as defined hereinbelow) with the amount thereof.

1.1.7 No advance under the Revolving Loan will be made after January 18, 2024 (the “Revolving Loan Advance Expiration Date”).

1.1.8 Prior to the close of Lender’s business on the Revolving Loan Advance Expiration Date, Borrower may, subject to the terms and conditions of the Revolving Note, repay, in whole or in part, the principal balance of the Revolving Loan and may, absent the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined below) hereunder which remains uncured and outstanding, re-borrow any such principal amounts repaid, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Revolving Note.

Execution Version

1.1.9 The proceeds of any advance made under the Revolving Loan shall be used by Borrower (i) to provide for the working capital needs of Borrower and (ii) for any other general corporate purposes of Borrower. Lender agrees that so long as Borrower complies with the terms and conditions of the Revolving Note and this Agreement, and provides not less than twenty-four (24) hours’ notice of any proposed advance under the Revolving Note, Lender shall cause the amount of such requested advance under the Revolving Loan to be made available to Borrower at the time and in the manner requested by Borrower; provided, however, that Lender shall have no obligation to make the requested advance if, after giving effect to the requested advance, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all advances under the Revolving Note will exceed Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00). If, at any time, the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all advances made under the Revolving Loan exceeds $5,000,000.00, Borrower shall immediately pay to Lender the amount of such excess without notice or demand.

1.1.10 Commencing with Borrower’s fiscal year ending on November 30, 2021 and continuing on the last day of each fiscal year thereafter during the term of the Revolving Loan, Borrower shall pay to Lender, on an annual basis within thirty (30) days after each fiscal year-end, the Revolving Loan Unused Fee (as defined below). For purposes of this Agreement, the “Revolving Loan Unused Fee” means an amount equal to the product of:

(i)

one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) (or twenty-five (25) basis points), multiplied by

(ii)

the daily average unused portion of the Revolving Loan, measured annually in arrears based on Lender’s and Borrower’s books and records.

As used herein, the term “unused portion of the Revolving Loan” means that amount by which (x) the maximum principal amount of the Revolving Loan (i.e., $5,000,000.00) exceeds (y) the then aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loan, whether such excess results from the fact that Lender has for any reason not made advances up to the maximum principal amount of the Revolving Loan, from the fact that any advances previously made have been repaid by Borrower, or due to any other reason. Such Revolving Loan Unused Fee shall be computed in arrears on the daily average unused portion of the Revolving Loan during the prior fiscal year then ending and shall be computed for the actual number of days during such measurement period. On any date which the Revolving Loan Unused Fee is due hereunder, Lender may charge the Operating Account with the amount thereof, if not already paid, after notice to Borrower of Lender’s intention to charge for such unpaid fee. The failure of Lender to charge such account shall not relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the Revolving Loan Unused Fee when due and payable.

1.1.11 In consideration of Lender making the Revolving Loan available to Borrower, at the Closing, Borrower shall pay to Lender a one-time non-refundable loan origination fee in the amount of Twenty-Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000.00), which loan origination fee will be deemed fully earned upon the Effective Date.

No advance under the Equipment Loan shall be made after the expiration or earlier termination of the Equipment Line Draw Period.

1.2.3 The proceeds of any advance made under the Equipment Loan shall be used by Borrower solely towards the payment of the purchase price for either new/unused and/or used equipment and machinery to be acquired by Borrower (to be owned and held in Borrower’s name) which is to be used in connection with, or is directly related to, the continued operation of Borrower’s business as it is currently conducted as of the Effective Date or in connection with Borrower’s business as of the date of any requested advance under the Equipment Loan. Lender shall be under no obligation to make or honor any requested advance under the Equipment Loan until Lender has received written evidence, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion, identifying the specific equipment or machinery being purchased by Borrower and the corresponding net purchase price to be paid by Borrower therefor, which written evidence may include, but is not limited to, any of receipts, invoices, purchase orders or bills of lading, which describes the make and model of each piece of equipment or machinery being purchased and more particularly identifies each piece of equipment or machinery by an individual serial number, as applicable (collectively, the “Equipment Documentation”).

Execution Version

1.2.4 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Borrower’s delivery to Lender of the required Equipment Documentation, (1) each requested advance under the Equipment Loan made in connection with Borrower’s purchase of a new and unused piece of equipment or machinery shall be in an amount not to exceed ninety percent (90%) of the purchase price to be paid by Borrower for such new and unused equipment or machinery as evidenced by a written invoice, or other Equipment Documentation in form reasonably acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion, issued by the seller of such equipment or machinery, and (2) each requested advance under the Equipment Loan made in connection with Borrower’s purchase of a used piece of equipment or machinery shall be in an amount not to exceed either (x) eighty percent (80%) of the purchase price to be paid by Borrower for such used piece equipment or machinery as evidenced by a written invoice issued by the seller of such equipment or machinery, or (y) if a written invoice is not available in connection with Borrower’s purchase of such used piece of equipment or machinery, eighty percent (80%) of the appraised value of the used piece of equipment or machinery being purchased as established pursuant to a current appraisal of the specific equipment or machinery, which appraisal shall be in form reasonably acceptable to Lender, or (z) if neither a written invoice nor a current appraisal of the specific used equipment or machinery being purchased by Borrower is available, then seventy-five percent (75%) of the current net book value of the specific used equipment or machinery being purchased by Borrower as determined by Borrower and the seller of such equipment or machinery and approved by Lender in its sole yet reasonable discretion.

1.2.5 Contemporaneously with, and as a condition precedent to, Lender making each advance to Borrower under the Equipment Loan, Borrower shall duly execute and deliver an equipment term note in the form of promissory note attached hereto as Exhibit C and made a part hereof with each such equipment term note being in an original principal sum equal to the amount of the corresponding advance being made by Lender to Borrower under the Equipment Loan (each equipment term note executed and delivered by Borrower in connection with each advance made under the Equipment Loan are collectively, and each individually as the context may require, referred to herein as an “Equipment Term Note”) (each Equipment Term Note, together with the Revolving Note are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Notes”). Pursuant to the terms of each Equipment Term Note, Borrower shall make payments of accrued interest only, in arrears, during the first twelve (12) months of the term of each Equipment Term Note, which interest only period shall be immediately followed by a five (5) year Amortization Period (as such term is defined in each Equipment Term Note) during which Borrower shall make amortizing payments of principal (together with payments of accrued interest, in arrears) based upon a fully amortizing five (5) year amortization schedule. On any date on which a regularly scheduled payment of accrued interest and/or principal is due under any Equipment Term Note, Lender may charge the Operating Account with the amount thereof.

1.2.6 Principal and interest on the Equipment Loan shall be payable in accordance with the terms and conditions of each respective Equipment Term Note executed and delivered by Borrower to Lender in connection with each advance made under the Equipment Loan as more particularly set forth in Section 1.2.5 above.

Execution Version

1.2.7 Each Equipment Term Note may be prepaid by Borrower, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty as more particularly set forth in each respective Equipment Term Note. The Equipment Loan is a non-revolving facility and any amounts borrowed and repaid or prepaid under each respective Equipment Term Note may not be re-borrowed by Borrower.

1.2.8 Commencing with Borrower’s fiscal year ending on November 30, 2021 and continuing on the last day of each fiscal year thereafter until the expiration of the Equipment Line Draw Period, Borrower shall pay to Lender, on an annual basis within thirty (30) days after each fiscal year-end, the Equipment Loan Unused Fee (as defined below). For purposes of this Agreement, the “Equipment Loan Unused Fee” means an amount equal to the product of:

(i)

one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) (or twenty-five (25) basis points), multiplied by

(ii)

the daily average unused portion of the Equipment Loan, measured annually in arrears based on Lender’s books and records and such other information deemed relevant to Lender.

As used herein, the term “unused portion of the Equipment Loan” means that amount by which (x) the maximum principal amount of the Equipment Loan (i.e., $1,500,000.00) exceeds (y) the aggregate principal amount of all advances previously made by Lender to Borrower under the Equipment Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, whether such excess is due to the fact that Lender has for any reason not made advances up to the maximum principal amount of the Equipment Loan or due to any other reason. Such Equipment Loan Unused Fee shall be computed in arrears on the daily average unused portion of the Equipment Loan during the prior fiscal year then ending and shall be computed for the actual number of days during such measurement period. On any date which the Equipment Loan Unused Fee is due hereunder, Lender may charge the Operating Account with the amount thereof if not already paid. The failure of Lender to charge such account shall not relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the Equipment Loan Unused Fee when due and payable.

1.2.9 In consideration of Lender making the Equipment Loan available to Borrower, at the Closing, Borrower shall pay to Lender a one-time non-refundable loan origination fee in the amount of Seven Thousand Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($7,500.00), which loan origination fee will be deemed fully earned upon the closing of the Equipment Loan.

All of Borrower’s liabilities and obligations owing to Lender, of every kind and description, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, regardless of how they arise or by what agreement or instrument they may be evidenced, including those arising under any other agreements, instruments or documents executed in conjunction herewith, or whether evidenced by an agreement or instrument, including obligations to perform acts and refrain from taking action, including, without limitation, those arising under this Agreement, the Revolving Note and each Equipment Term Note are collectively referred to herein as Borrower’s “Liabilities”. In addition to the foregoing, the term “Liabilities” as used herein means the indebtedness evidenced by each of the Revolving Note, each Equipment Term Note and any of the other Loan Documents (as that term is defined in Section 11.13 herein), including all principal and interest together with all other indebtedness and costs and expenses for which Borrower is responsible under each of the Revolving Note, each Equipment Term Note or under any of the other Loan Documents.

Borrower will execute and deliver all agreements, instruments and documents reasonably required by Lender to create and perfect the security interest granted pursuant to this Section 7.2. In addition to the foregoing, in the event that any proceeds of the Loans are used by Borrower towards the purchase of a new or used motor vehicle, or any other asset which is evidenced by a certificate of title, Borrower shall, at Lender’s reasonable request, within five (5) days of Borrower’s receipt of its certificate of title pertaining to such motor vehicle or other asset, deliver such original certificate of title to Lender and promptly after such time undertake and complete all reasonably necessary actions requested by Lender in order to perfect Lender’s security interest in and to such motor vehicle or other asset.

Borrower agrees to label all chattel paper serving as Collateral under this Agreement with the words, “Subject to the security interest of Needham Bank.”

If Borrower shall at any time acquire a commercial tort claim, as defined in the UCC, Borrower shall promptly notify Lender in a writing signed by Borrower of the brief details thereof and grant to Lender in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender.

7.2 Borrower will, at its expense, furnish to Lender, upon Lender’s reasonable request, such further information, will execute and deliver to Lender such financing statements and other agreements, instruments or documents, and will do all such acts as Lender may, at any time or from time to time, reasonably request, or as may be necessary or appropriate to establish and maintain a valid and enforceable first priority security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) in the Collateral in favor of Lender.

Execution Version

7.3 Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender at any time and from time to time to file initial UCC-1 financing statements, continuation statements and amendments thereto in such locations and offices as Lender shall deem necessary or appropriate to perfect the security interests in the Collateral granted herein, which such initial UCC-1 financing statements may (a) indicate the Collateral (i) as all assets of Borrower or words of similar effect regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the UCC, or (ii) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, and (b) contain any other information required by Part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such other information may include, among other things, (i) if Borrower is an organization, the type of organization and any organization identification number issued to Borrower, and (ii) in the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing or indicating Collateral as as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut, a sufficient description of real property to which the Collateral relates. Borrower agrees to furnish such information to Lender promptly upon request. Borrower also ratifies its authorization for Lender to have filed any like initial financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof.

7.4 Any and all deposits or other sums of Borrower which are at any time in the possession of Lender and/or credited by or due from Lender to Borrower shall at all times constitute additional security for all Liabilities of Borrower owing to Lender and Borrower hereby grants in favor of Lender a continuing security interest in and to such deposits and other sums, which deposits or other sums may be set-off against any such Liabilities at any time after the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, whether or not other security or Collateral held by Lender is deemed to be adequate. Any and all instruments, documents, policies and certificates of insurance, securities, goods, Inventory, Receivables, Equipment, choses in action, chattel paper, cash, property and the proceeds thereof owned by any Borrower or in which Borrower has an interest, in each case constituting Collateral, which now or hereafter are at any time in possession or control of Lender or in transit by mail or carrier to or from Lender or in the possession of any third-party acting on Lender’s behalf, without regard to whether Lender received the same in pledge, for safekeeping, as agent for collection or transmission or otherwise or whether Lender has conditionally released the same, shall constitute additional security for the Liabilities of Borrower to Lender and may be applied at any time after the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default to such Liabilities, whether due or not. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE LENDER TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE LIABILITIES OF BORROWER TO LENDER PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF BORROWER, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.

SECTION 8.

8.2 Lender may at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, notify Account Debtors on any Collateral, or require Borrower to notify such Account Debtors, that such Account Debtors shall subsequently make all future payments on their account or accounts with Borrower directly to Lender; or, alternatively, require Borrower to hold all proceeds received from collection of Accounts or the sale of inventory in trust for Lender without commingling the same with other funds of Borrower, and to turn the same over to the Lender immediately upon receipt in the identical form received, at which time Lender may at its option either apply such proceeds to the Liabilities of Borrower owing to Lender, in accordance with Section 8.6 hereinbelow, or release such proceeds to Borrower for use in its business.

8.3 Lender has the right at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, directly or through its agent or nominee or a duly appointed receiver, to collect proceeds directly from Account Debtors on any Collateral and for that purpose to do all acts and things necessary or incident thereto, including the right to sue on any Accounts, and to sell, transfer, set over, compromise, discharge, or extend the whole or any part of any Accounts.

8.4 Borrower does hereby make, constitute and appoint any officer or agent of Lender as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with power to endorse the name of Borrower or any of Borrower’s officers or agents upon any notices, checks, drafts, money orders, or other instruments of payment (including payments payable under any policy of insurance on any Collateral) or Collateral that may come into possession of Lender in full or partial payment of any Liabilities of Borrower owing to Lender; to sign and endorse the name of Borrower or any of Borrower’s officers or agents upon any warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with Borrower’s Accounts, and any instruments or documents relating thereto, or to Borrower’s rights therein; to give written notice to such office or officials of the United States Post Office to effect such change or changes of address so that all mail addressed to Borrower may be delivered directly to Lender; granting unto Borrower’s said attorney-in-fact full power to do any and all things necessary to be done in and about Borrower’s premises as fully and effectually as Borrower might or could do, and hereby ratifying all that said attorney-in-fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. Neither Lender nor the attorney-in-fact shall be liable for any acts or omissions nor for any errors of judgment or mistake, except for their gross negligence or willful misconduct. This power of attorney shall be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement and all transactions hereunder and thereafter as long as Borrower may be indebted to Lender and any Liabilities of Borrower owing to Lender remain unsatisfied. With the exception of the power granted to Lender (or any officer or agent of Lender) to endorse checks, drafts, and any other form of payment, which right may be exercised at any time and from time to time, Lender will not exercise any of the powers granted under this Section 8 absent the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder.

Such credits, however, are conditional upon final payment to Lender at its office in cash or solvent credits of the items giving rise to them, and, if any item is return, rescinded or not so paid, the amount of any credit given with respect to any Liabilities of Borrower owing to Lender shall be reversed or, in the discretion of Lender, it shall be charged to the Operating Account or any other deposit accounts of Borrower maintained with Lender, whether or not the item is returned.

Lender may purchase the Collateral, or any portion thereof, at any public sale.

Execution Version

9.3.3 If Lender sells any of the Collateral on credit, Borrower will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser of such Collateral and received by Lender.

________________, 20___

BYRNA TECHNOLOGIES INC., a Delaware corporation

PRINCIPAL AMOUNT:

MATURITY DATE:

______________________________________________

Seventy-Two (72) Months

___________, 20___

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Borrower, on a joint and several basis, promises to pay to NEEDHAM BANK (hereinafter “Lender,” which term shall include its successors and permitted assigns), or its order, the Principal Amount of ___________________________ AND ___/100 DOLLARS ($____________________), or such lesser amount as may be outstanding hereunder, together with accrued interest thereon or on so much as remains outstanding at the effective Interest Rate herein specified. This Note is executed and delivered pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Commercial Loan and Security Agreement dated as of January 19, 2021 entered into between Borrower and Lender (the “Loan Agreement” which term shall include all modifications, extensions, renewals and replacements thereof).

INTEREST RATE: Subject to the terms of this Note, the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall accrue interest at a fluctuating per annum interest rate equal to sum of the Prime Rate (as defined herein) plus fifty (50) basis points (0.50%). As used herein, the term “Prime Rate” shall mean the Prime Rate as published in the “Money Rates” section of The Wall Street Journal, provided, however, if such rate is, at any time during the term of this Note, no longer so published by The Wall Street Journal, upon written notice to the Borrower, the Lender shall designate a comparable reference rate which shall be deemed the “Prime Rate” hereunder. The effective interest rate under this Note shall be automatically changed contemporaneously with each change in the Prime Rate, provided, however, that Lender has no obligation to notify Borrower of any changes in the effective rate of interest under this Note. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, at no point in time during the term of this Note shall the effective interest rate under this Note be less than four percent (4.00%) per annum. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall be calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed and a 360-day year.

REPAYMENT; PAYMENT DAY: Commencing on _________ 1, 20___, and thereafter on the first (1^st) day of each succeeding month (the first (1^st) day of each calendar month being referred to herein as a “Payment Day”) until the date which is the twelfth (12^th) month anniversary date of this Note (the “Conversion Date”) (the period commencing on the date of this Note and ending on the Conversion Date is referred to herein as the “Interest Only Period”), Borrower shall make consecutive monthly payments of accrued interest only, in arrears. Thereafter, commencing with the first Payment Day following the expiration of the Interest Only Period and continuing thereafter on each successive Payment Day for the remaining term of this Note (the period commencing with the expiration of the Interest Only Period and ending on the Maturity Date is referred to herein as the “Amortization Period”), Borrower shall make consecutive monthly amortizing payments of principal (calculated by Lender based upon a fully amortizing five (5) year amortization scheduled commencing on the first day of the Amortization Period), together with a payment of accrued interest, in arrears. The entire outstanding principal balance of this Note, together with all accrued interest and other fees and charges payable hereunder, shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. If any Payment Day would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such Payment Day will be the next immediate Business Day. For purposes of this Note, “Business Day” is a day which is neither a Saturday nor a Sunday nor a legal holiday on which commercial banks are authorized to be closed in Boston, Massachusetts.

This Note constitutes an “Equipment Term Note” as referenced in the Loan Agreement and the loan evidenced by this Note represents an advance previously made under the “Equipment Loan” as referenced in the Loan Agreement.

Payments made hereunder shall be applied first to Lender’s costs and expenses, then to accrued interest then outstanding, and the remainder, if any, to any current or past due required principal payment due hereunder.

On any date on which a regularly scheduled payment of accrued interest and/or principal is due under this Note, the Lender may charge the Operating Account (as defined in the Loan Agreement) with the amount thereof.

All capitalized terms not defined herein shall be given the same meaning as set forth in the Loan Agreement.

The occurrence of any Event of Default (after the expiration of any applicable cure or grace period) under the Loan Agreement shall be an Event of Default hereunder.

PREPAYMENT: Borrower shall have the right to prepay, without premium or penalty, the principal balance of any outstanding Advance made under this Note, in whole or in part, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

Borrower agrees to pay all expenses including reasonable attorney’s fees, which Lender may incur in effecting collection of this Note, upon an Event of Default or following maturity.

Lender shall not, by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder unless such waiver be in writing and signed by Lender. A delay, omission or waiver on one occasion shall not be deemed a waiver or bar on any future occasion of the same or any other right.

Borrower and each endorser and guarantor of this Note or the obligation represented hereby, waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, presentment, demand, notice, protest and all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Note, except as specifically provided herein with respect to notices of default and pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement; assents to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence and to the addition or release of any other party primarily or secondarily liable.

THE BORROWER AND LENDER MUTUALLY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM BASED HEREON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY. THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR LENDER TO ACCEPT THIS NOTE AND MAKE THE LOAN EVIDENCED HEREBY.

Borrower and each endorser and guarantor hereby assent to the release in whole or in part of any Collateral (as defined in the Loan Agreement) held as security herefor, and agrees that Lender need not proceed against any Collateral held as security herefor before proceeding directly against Borrower or against any endorser or guarantor.

Borrower shall pay to Lender a late charge in the amount of five (5%) percent of each payment due hereunder which is more than fifteen (15) days in arrears to offset the additional expenses involved in processing delinquent payments. In addition, from and after the date on which this Note becomes, or at Lender’s option, could become, due and payable (whether accelerated or not), at maturity, upon default or otherwise, and solely during the existence of such circumstance, interest shall accrue and shall be due and payable on demand at a rate (the “Default Rate”) which is four (4%) percent per annum higher than the Interest Rate hereinabove specified but in no event higher than the maximum interest rate permitted by law. The Default Rate shall change each time the Interest Rate changes.

Borrower shall not be obligated to pay and Lender shall not collect interest at a rate higher than the maximum permitted by law or the maximum that will not subject Lender to any civil or criminal penalties. If, because of the acceleration of maturity the payment of interest in advance or any other reason, Borrower is required, under the provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise, to pay interest at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the rate of interest under such provisions shall immediately and automatically be reduced to such maximum rate and any payment made in excess of such maximum rate, together with interest thereon at the rate provided herein from the date of such payment, shall be immediately and automatically applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of this Note as of the date on which such excess payment was made. If the amount to be so applied to reduction of the unpaid principal balance exceeds the unpaid principal balance, the amount of such excess shall be refunded by Lender to Borrower.

Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note or any other security document(s) which is not of public record and, in the case of any such destruction or mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note or other document(s), Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement promissory note or other document(s) in the same principal amount hereof and otherwise of like tenor at no cost to Borrower.

This Note shall be deemed to be a Massachusetts instrument, and all rights and obligations hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and enforced in the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts sitting in the City of Boston.

Borrower’s obligations under this Note are secured by, inter alia, the first priority security interest (subject to any Permitted Liens) in the Collateral (as defined in the Loan Agreement) granted by Borrower in favor of Lender pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement.
