(c) Seller's right, title, and interest, if any, to those items of personal property listed on Exhibit B annexed hereto and made a part hereof. (d) All of Seller's right, title and interest, to the leases and license agreements, as amended, shown on Exhibit G annexed hereto, a current rent roll, as said Exhibit G may be modified between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date as contemplated by Section 11 (hereinafter referred to as the "Leases"). (e) Seller's right, title and interest, if any, in the intangible personal property, being all intangible personal property related to the Land and Improvements, including, without limitation; all trade names and trade marks associated with the Land and the Improvements, including Seller's rights and interests in the name of the Property, but excluding the right to use the name "Windsor" or any materials containing that name;(all of the items enumerated under clauses (c) and (e) being collectively referred to herein as the "Personalty"). Purchaser agrees to pay, and Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Seller and Seller's successors and assigns harmless from and against, any and all sales taxes, if any, which may at any time be assessed in connection with the sale of Seller's interest, if any, in the Personalty. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Deed.

PURCHASE PRICE. The purchase price (hereinafter referred to as the "Purchase Price") payable by Purchaser to Seller for the Property is Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000). The Purchase Price shall be payable by Purchaser as follows: (i) simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the sum of Seventy Thousand Dollars ($70,000) in the form of a wire transfer of immediately available Federal Funds to the account of Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company (Florida or Boston office, but not yet determined which one)(hereinafter referred to as the "Title Company") (in accordance with the wiring instructions set forth on Exhibit D hereto), shall be paid to the Title Company as escrow agent as a deposit hereunder (hereinafter being referred to as the "Contract Deposit"). The Title Company shall hold the Contract Deposit in escrow in an interest-bearing bank account. Any and all interest earned on the Contract Deposit shall become and be deemed to be a part of the Contract Deposit. If the transaction contemplated hereby does not close because of a default by Purchaser, then the Contract Deposit shall be paid to the Seller pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions of Section 4.C. hereof. In the event the transaction contemplated hereby does not close because of the inability or failure of Seller to fulfill Seller's obligations under this Agreement, the Contract Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions of Section 4.A. hereof, unless Purchaser invokes the rights afforded Purchaser by virtue of Section 4.B. hereof. Notwithstanding the above, Purchaser may choose in its sole and absolute discretion by giving written notice to Seller, to terminate this Agreement for any reason until 5:00 p.m. EST on Monday, November 24, 1997, the end of the Purchaser's Review Period (as defined in Section 13B); whereupon the Contract Deposit shall be returned to the Purchaser and the parties shall have no further obligations to one another; (ii) At the Closing (as hereinafter defined in Section 8 hereof), the Purchase Price shall be paid by Purchaser's assumption of the existing debt financing encumbering the Property. The documents comprising the debt financing are an Amended and Restated Promissory Note, Amended and Restated Mortgage and Security Agreement (hereinafter referred to as the "Mortgage"), an Amended and Restated Assignment in Lessor's Interest in Leases, an Unsecured Indemnity Agreement and miscellaneous documents, all dated January 10, 1997, and set forth on Exhibit Q hereto (hereinafter referred to as "Debt Financing Documents"), including the payment obligations under the Mortgage, which, as of September 30, 1997 is in the principal amount of Three Million Nine Hundred Fifty-Two Thousand, Three Hundred Thirty-One Dollars ($3,952,331.00) (hereinafter referred to as the "Current Principal Balance"). Purchaser additionally shall pay the difference between the Current Principal Balance and the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage on the Closing Date, adjusted to reflect real estate tax escrows and any other reserves and escrows which remain in the possession of the Mortgagee after the Closing Date. 3. NO RECORDING. Purchaser and Seller each agree that it will not record this Agreement nor any memorandum or notice thereof without the prior written consent of the other Party. Any recording in violation of this provision shall be void ab initio and shall be a material breach hereof and hereunder, and the Party who records this Agreement shall be liable for all fees and costs incurred in order to clear said recorded instrument from the records, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements. The provisions of this Section 3 shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Deed (as defined in Paragraph 1 of Exhibit C annexed hereto and made a part hereof), or the earlier termination of this Agreement. 4. INABILITY TO FULFILL THE CONTRACT. A. If, at the Closing, Seller is unable to convey to Purchaser title to the Property in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, or if Seller is otherwise unable to fulfill Seller's obligations pursuant to this Agreement due to a circumstance beyond Seller's control, Seller shall be entitled, upon written notice delivered to Purchaser at or prior to the Closing Date, to reasonable adjournments of the Closing Date one or more times, for a period or periods not to exceed, in the aggregate, thirty (30) days, to enable Seller to convey such title or to fulfill such obligations Seller agrees not to place any voluntary liens on the Property between the Contract Date and the Closing Date. If Seller does not so elect to adjourn the Closing, or if at the adjourned date Seller is still unable to convey title to the Property or is still unable to fulfill Seller's obligations pursuant to this Agreement, Purchaser shall have the option to either: (i) accept such title as Seller can convey, without reduction in, or abatement of, the Purchase Price and without receipt of any credit or allowance on account thereof, and without any claim against Seller; or (ii) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller delivered as provided in Section 5 hereof (in which event Purchaser's sole remedy shall be the refund the Contract Deposit to Purchaser, and upon such refund being made to Purchaser, then this Agreement shall automatically become void and of no further force or effect, and neither Party shall have any obligations of any nature to the other hereunder or by reason hereof, except obligations which, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or the Exhibits annexed hereto, expressly state that such provisions survive the termination of this Agreement). If Seller elects to adjourn the Closing as provided above, this Agreement shall remain in effect for the period or periods of adjournments, in accordance with its terms. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to require Seller to bring any action or proceeding or to take any other steps to remove any defect in, or exception or objection to, title or to fulfill any condition, or to expend any moneys therefor, nor shall Purchaser have any right of action against Seller, at law and/or in equity, for damages or for specific performance in connection therewith. B. Seller agrees not to place any voluntary liens on the Property between the Contract Date and the Closing Date. If Seller is unable to close as of the Closing Date due to the existence of a voluntary lien on the Property, Seller shall remove such lien. If Seller fails to so remove and close, Purchaser shall be entitled to institute an action for specific performance as described below. If Title does not close due to the foregoing or any other intentional default of Seller, Purchaser shall have the right to maintain an action of specific performance provided Purchaser commences such action within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date as the same may be extended and/or adjourned pursuant to and in accordance with the terms hereof. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees, for purposes hereof, that an intentional default by Seller shall not include the Seller's inability to convey to Purchaser title to the Property in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Parties agree, in the event that Purchaser commences an action of specific performance, as aforesaid, that the prevailing Party in any such action shall be entitled to recover attorneys' fees and disbursements from the other Party. C. The Parties agree that in the event Purchaser shall default in the performance of Purchaser's obligations under this Agreement, the actual damages sustained by the Seller as a result would be mathematically difficult to calculate, and in regard thereto, Purchaser agrees that a good faith estimate of the damages which would reasonably compensate Seller is equal to the Contract Deposit. Accordingly, immediately upon default by either Purchaser or Seller, the non-defaulting party shall have the right to the Contract Deposit, as liquidated damages, to recompense the non-defaulting party for time spent and the loss of its bargain. Seller and Purchaser agree that: (i) the nondefaulting party shall furnish the defaulting party and the Title Company with written notice of the non-defaulting party's intention to seek the return of the Contract Deposit from the Title Company as aforesaid; and (ii) the defaulting party shall have a period equal to seven (7) days following the giving of such notice by the non-defaulting party within which to cure the default. If, at the end of such seven (7) day period, the defaulting party is still in default in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the Title Company shall release the Contract Deposit to the non-defaulting party, as liquidated damages, as aforesaid, with no additional notices or cure periods having to be furnished or provided. Seller's sole remedy for Purchaser's default under this Agreement shall be to retain the Contract Deposit and, upon such retention of the Contract Deposit by Seller, as aforesaid, this Agreement shall terminate and Purchaser and Seller shall be relieved of any further liability hereunder, at law and/or in equity, relating to Purchaser's default in the performance of Purchaser's obligations under this Agreement except with respect to any obligations and/or liabilities which pursuant to the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Agreement (or the Exhibits annexed hereto) expressly state that such provisions survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 4.C. shall be deemed or construed to limit Seller's rights, remedies or recourse, or to limit Purchaser's obligations or liabilities, with respect to any breach or default by Purchaser under the provisions of Section 10, Section 19, Exhibit C, and any other provision of this Agreement, pursuant to which such obligation or liability survives the Closing and delivery of the Deed, or the earlier termination of this Agreement. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Deed, or the earlier termination of this Agreement. Purchaser's remedies for a default by the Seller under the terms of this Agreement are either return of the Contract Deposit, or an action for damages and/or specific performance. D. The Parties agree, in the event that Purchaser commences an action against Seller alleging and/or claiming that Seller has retained the Contract Deposit in contravention of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of Section 4.C. of this Agreement, that the prevailing Party in any such action shall be entitled to recover attorneys' fees and disbursements from the other Party. 5.

The risk of loss, damage or destruction to the Property by fire or other casualty until the Closing is retained by Seller, but without any obligation or liability by Seller to repair or restore the Property. Seller shall maintain in effect through the Closing Date, policies of fire and casualty insurance in an amount equal to the Purchase Price, less a deductible (hereinafter referred to as the "Deductible" in the amount of not more than Fifty Thousand ($50,000), with a replacement cost endorsement. B. If at any time prior to Closing, any portion of the Property is destroyed or damaged as a result of (a) fire or any other casualty (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Casualty"), or (b) a taking in eminent domain (hereinafter referred to as "Taking"), Seller shall promptly give written notice thereof (hereinafter referred to as the "Damage Notice") to Purchaser, including a statement by Seller of its insurance company's estimate (hereinafter referred to as the "Estimate"), acting reasonably, of the cost of fully repairing and restoring the Property, or in the case of a Taking, the remaining portion of the Property, (to the extent practicable) to the condition which existed prior to the Casualty or Taking, as the case may be. The Estimate shall be conclusive and binding upon Purchaser and Seller. Any damage to or destruction of the Property as a result of a Casualty or Taking shall be deemed to be immaterial for purposes of this Agreement if the Estimate is Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00) or less. If such damage or destruction is deemed to be immaterial (as aforesaid), neither Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and there shall be no abatement in the Purchase Price, and in lieu of any such abatement, Seller shall: (i) execute, acknowledge and deliver to Purchaser at the Closing, in counterparts, an assignment, expressly made without representation or warranty by Seller and without recourse to Seller, of Seller's interest in any net insurance or condemnation proceeds (that is, after the reasonable expenses of collection) which may be payable to Seller as a result of such Casualty or Taking, subject, however to Seller's right to receive reimbursement therefrom of any amounts paid or incurred by Seller for or on account of repairs and/or restoration of the Property prior to the Closing; and (ii) allow Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the Deductible. C. If there shall be material (i.e., the Estimate is more than Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00)) damage to, or destruction of, the Property as a result of a Casualty or Taking prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to the Seller within ten (10) days after Purchaser's receipt of the Damage Notice from Seller. Upon such termination, Seller shall return to Purchaser the Contract Deposit shall be returned to the Purchaser, together with any and all interest earned thereon, and upon such return of the Contract Deposit, together with any and all interest earned thereon, all claims and obligations of the Parties, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be immediately released and discharged. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the provisions of this Agreement and the Exhibits thereto which expressly state that the same survive the termination of this Agreement shall survive such termination. If Purchaser elects not to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the foregoing terms of this Section, there shall be no abatement in the Purchase Price, and in lieu of any such abatement, Seller shall: (i) execute, acknowledge and deliver to Purchaser at the Closing, in counterparts, an assignment, expressly made without representation or warranty by Seller and without recourse to Seller, of Seller's interest in any net insurance or condemnation proceeds (that is, after the reasonable expenses of collection) which may be payable to Seller as a result of such casualty or taking, subject, however, to Seller's right to receive reimbursement therefrom of any amounts paid or incurred by Seller for or on account of repairs and/or restoration to the Property prior to the Closing; and (ii) allow Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the Deductible. 13. TITLE. A. Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser has prior to the Contract Date: (i) been provided with a photocopy of the existing Title Insurance Policy for the Property ; and (ii) has been provided a report of title or title commitment (hereinafter referred to as the "Commonwealth Title Commitment") from the Title Company a copy of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit E. B. Seller's obligations under this Agreement in connection with the transfer to Purchaser of fee simple title (hereinafter referred to as "Title") to the Land and the Improvements (i.e., that portion of the Property which constitutes real property) shall be to transfer Title to the Land and Improvements in recordable form, subject to no liens, claims, encumbrances, rights-of-way, easements, restrictions, reservations, covenants, conditions, claims, liabilities, charges, reversions or other agreements or any other matter affecting title, except for the exceptions approved by Purchaser during the Review Period described in the Letter of Intent executed by the Parties on October 14, 1997. The Review Period began on October 24, 1997 and ends on November 24, 1997. After the Review Period has passed, Seller's obligations in connection with Title shall be to transfer subject to the exceptions listed on Exhibit H annexed hereto and made a part hereof (hereinafter referred to as the "Permitted Exceptions"), which shall include (but not be limited to) any state of facts a survey thereof would show, as well as any additional or later state of facts which an accurate re-date or re-survey or survey inspection would show. Seller may approve or disapprove the survey for any reason during the Review Period. After the Review Period has passed, Seller's obligations in connection with survey shall be to provide a survey which satisfies the standards set forth on Exhibit X. X. Purchaser's obligation under this Agreement in connection with the transfer by Seller of Title to the Land and Improvements shall be to accept such Title to the extent the same is in full and complete satisfaction of the standards for the Survey and the standards for Title as set forth more specifically in Exhibits I and J, Section 20.B and Section 20.C of this Agreement, unless any of such standards, as aforesaid, have been waived in writing by Purchaser at or prior to the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser acknowledges that the aforementioned standards for the Survey and the standards for Title shall not impose any obligations under this Agreement upon Seller, and that Seller's obligations under this Agreement in connection with the transfer of Title to Purchaser are set forth in Section 13.B hereof. D. If, at the Closing, there shall be any liens, encumbrances or charges affecting title which are not permitted pursuant to this Agreement, then Seller may, upon request from Seller to Purchaser, require Purchaser to apply such portion of the balance of the Purchase Price as shall be necessary to discharge such liens, encumbrances and charges and pay the recording fees, and in such event Seller shall deliver to Purchaser instruments in recordable form sufficient to discharge the same of record. If request is made by Seller within a reasonable time prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide at the Closing, separate certified checks as requested to facilitate the satisfaction of such liens, encumbrances and charges. The existence of such liens, encumbrances and charges shall not be objections to title if Seller complies with the provisions of this paragraph. Seller shall be conclusively deemed to have fulfilled the requirements of this Agreement as to title if the Title Company (or any other reputable title insurance company) will insure such title at regular rates in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, subject to the exceptions permitted pursuant to this Agreement and the matters referred to in Exhibit H (Permitted Exceptions) hereto. E. From the contract Date through the Closing Date, Seller agrees that Seller shall not mortgage or further encumber the Property, without first obtaining Purchaser's written consent. 14. NONASSIGNABLE CONTRACT. Purchaser shall not have the right, without Seller's prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Seller's sole discretion, to assign or transfer any of Purchaser's rights, obligations and interests under this Agreement, and Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and Seller's successors and assigns, from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, costs, expenses and liabilities, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements, arising out of Purchaser's failure to comply with its obligations under this Section 14. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser may assign Purchaser's rights, obligations and interests under this Agreement, without Seller's prior written consent to an affiliate, the majority of the interests in which are owned by the Purchaser. If such assignment is made, the sale contemplated by this Agreement shall be consummated in the name and by and through the authorized officials of any such assignee. Any assignment or transfer of this Agreement made without Seller's prior written consent shall be void and a material breach of this Agreement and such assignee or transferee shall acquire no rights hereunder. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Deed or the earlier termination of this Agreement. 15. PURCHASER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. As a material inducement to Seller to execute this Agreement and consummate this transaction, Purchaser covenants, represents and warrants to Seller as follows: A.
