13. Further Assurances. The Borrower shall, on demand of the Lender, do any act or
execute any additional documents reasonably required by the Lender to secure the Note or
confirm the liens of the Mortgage, including in such additional documents, but not limited to,
any agreement extending or otherwise modifying the Mortgage and the Note and a certificate as
to the amount of indebtedness evidenced by the Note.

14. Parties Bound, etc. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective successors and assigns (except
as otherwise prohibited by this Agreement). This Agreement is a contract between Lender and
Borrower for their mutual benefit and no third person shall have any right, claim or interest
against either the Lender or the Borrower by virtue of any provision hereof or as a result of any
action or inaction of Lender in connection therewith. Each reference herein to the Lender shall
be deemed to include its successors and assigns, and each reference to the Borrower and any
pronouns referring thereto as used herein shall be construed in the masculine, feminine, neuter,
singular or plural as the context may require, and shall be deemed to include successors and
assigns of the Borrower, all of whom shall be bound by the provisions hereof.

15. Notice. Any notice, request, demand or other communication required or


permitted hereunder shall be given in writing by delivering the same in person to the intended
addressee, by overnight courier service with guaranteed next day delivery or by certified United
States Mail, postage prepaid or telegram sent to the intended addressee at the applicable address
set forth on Page 1 hereof or to such different address as either Borrower or Lender shall have
designated by written notice to the other sent in accordance herewith. Copies of all notices to
Lender shall also be sent to Brian F. Plunkett, Esquire, Bartlett Hackett Feinberg P.C., 10 High
Street, Suite 920, Boston, MA 02110 and copies of all notices to Borrower shall also be sent to:

Evan M. Kushner, Esq.


Kushner, Marano and Murphy, P.C.
450 Lexington Street
Newton, MA 02458

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the inadvertent failure of Borrower or Lender to provide copies
of notices to respective designated counsel shall not render ineffective notices otherwise given
validly. Such notices shall be deemed given when received or, if earlier, in the case of delivery
by courier service with guaranteed next day delivery, the next day or the day designated for
delivery, or in the case of delivery by certified United States Mail, two days after deposit therein.

16. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All of the covenants, representations


(as of the date when made or deemed to be made) and warranties made in this Agreement shall
survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of the Loan, and may be relied upon by
the Lender, regardless of any inspection or investigation or lack thereof by the Lender. All
covenants, representations and warranties contained in the Note and the Mortgage, and in any
agreement, certificate, statement, report or other document delivered by or on behalf of the
Borrower as provided herein, or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby, shall be deemed to have been made in this Agreement.

17. Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of Lender hereunder, and under the
Note and Mortgage, all other agreements, documents and instruments referred to herein and
under applicable law are cumulative and not alternative, and such rights and remedies may be
exercised singly and concurrently.

18. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any
person or circumstance is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions which can
be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end, the provisions of this
Agreement shall be severable.

19. Waivers, Extensions and Releases. The Lender may at any time and from time to
time waive any one or more of the conditions contained herein or extend the time of payment of
the Loan or release portions of the Mortgaged Property from the provisions of this Agreement
and from the Mortgage, but any such waiver, extension or release shall be deemed to be made in
pursuance and not in modification hereof, and any such waiver in any instance or under any
particular circumstance shall not be considered a waiver of such condition in any other instance
or any other circumstance.

20. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement is and shall be
deemed to be a contract entered into pursuant to the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts and shall in all respects be governed, construed, applied and enforced in
accordance with the laws of such jurisdiction. The undersigned hereby submits to the
jurisdiction of the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for all purposes with respect to
this Agreement and expressly makes any and all objections or may have as to venue in such
courts. THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND
INTENTIONALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
LITIGATION BASED HEREON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH
THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN
CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING,
STATEMENTS (WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL) OR ACTIONS OF EITHER PARTY.

21. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect
when the Borrower has repaid the indebtedness evidenced by the Note in full and the Borrower
has otherwise satisfied all of its obligations to Lender hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents.

22. Borrower/Lender Relationship. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be


construed as creating a joint venture or partnership of or between Lender and Borrower or to
create any other relationship between the parties hereto other than as the Borrower and the
Lender, and Borrower hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold harmless the Lender from any and
all damages resulting from such a construction of the relationship of the parties hereto.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the day and
year first above written.
