Tenant agrees that the holder of a mortgage or any successor-in-interest to any of them or to Landlord shall not be: (a) liable for any act or omission of Landlord under this Lease unless such act or omission is of a continuing nature and the mortgagee(s) or successor in interest to any of them has been given notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure such act or omission after it has taken possession of Landlord’s Property; (b) subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against Landlord under this Lease unless the matter giving rise to such offset or defense is of a continuing nature and the mortgagee(s) or successor in interest to any of them has been given notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure such matter; (c) bound by the payment of any Base Rent which Tenant might have paid for more that the current month to Landlord under the Lease; (d) bound by any amendment or modification of this Lease made without the prior written consent of the mortgagee or ground lessor and not otherwise permitted under the mortgage or ground lease; (e) personally liable for any default under this Lease of any covenant or obligation on its part to be performed, it being acknowledged that Tenant’s sole monetary recourse in the event of such default shall be to proceed against the interest of such mortgagee or successor-in-interest in this Lease and Landlord’s Property; or (f) obligated to perform any of the Tenant Improvements Work. Further, Tenant shall not seek to terminate this Lease by reason of any act or omission of Landlord until Tenant shall have given written notice of such act or omission to the holder of such mortgage (at such holder’s last address furnished to Tenant) and following the giving of such notice such holder shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to remedy such act or omission within twenty (20) Business Days after the time period provided for in this Lease for Landlord to cure the same or such longer period as may be reasonably necessary to cure the same. Tenant shall enter into a written agreement confirming the foregoing from time to time upon written request from Landlord and/or the holder of a mortgage on Landlord’s Property.

CASUALTY
Section 10.1 Damage From Casualty.
(a) If any portion of the Building is damaged by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of such casualty promptly after Tenant becomes aware of such casualty. Within forty five (45) days after Tenant gives Landlord written notice of such casualty, Landlord shall reasonably estimate, and give Tenant written notice of, the period commencing with the date of such notice (the “Restoration Period”) that Landlord anticipates will be reasonably required to perform the restoration work which is the responsibility of Landlord as provided below. If Landlord reasonably estimates that the Restoration Period will be longer than two hundred seventy (270) days, then either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving to the other written notice of termination within ten (10) days after Landlord gives Tenant written notice of such estimate. Such notice of termination shall be effective on the date thereof, and if Tenant is then occupying the Premises, Tenant shall thereafter have a reasonable period of time in which to vacate the Premises. If (i) Landlord reasonably estimates that the Restoration Period will be two hundred seventy (270) days or shorter, or (ii) Landlord reasonably estimates that the Restoration Period will be longer than two hundred seventy (270) days but neither Landlord nor Tenant exercises its right to terminate this Lease as set forth above, then this Lease shall not terminate; and in such event, Landlord shall, with reasonable dispatch, repair or rebuild the Premises to substantially their condition as of delivery of the Premises to Tenant (subject, however, to Legal Requirements then in existence), and Tenant shall concurrently (to the extent practical and consistent with good construction practices) (i) repair and restore so much of the Premises as was the responsibility of Tenant under this Lease and (ii) repair and restore its fixtures and personal property.
(b) If, pursuant to Section 10.1(a), Landlord is required to restore the Premises and Landlord fails to substantially complete such restoration within thirty (30) days after the end of the Restoration Period, subject to extension for delay beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord. If Landlord fails to substantially complete such restoration work within such thirty (30) day period, then this Lease shall terminate as of such thirtieth (30th) day.
Section 10.2 Abatement of Rent. In the event that the provisions of Section 10.1 shall become applicable, the Base Rent shall be abated or reduced proportionately during any period in which, by reason of any such damage or destruction, there is substantial interference with the operation of the business of Tenant in the Premises, having regard to the extent to which Tenant may be required to discontinue its business in the Premises, and such abatement or reduction shall continue (but may be adjusted from time to time based on the extent of the interference with Tenant’s operations) for the period commencing with such destruction or damage and ending with the substantial completion by Landlord of such work, repair and/or reconstruction as Landlord may do.

ARTICLE XI
EMINENT DOMAIN
Section 11.1 Eminent Domain; Right to Terminate and Abatement in Rent. If the Premises or any part thereof, or such portion of the Parking Areas as would cause the remaining Parking Areas to be inadequate for Tenant’s reasonable use and enjoyment of the Premises, shall be taken, or if a conveyance shall be made in anticipation thereof, for any street or other public use, by action of the municipal, state, federal or other authorities, or shall receive any substantial direct or consequential damage for which Landlord or Tenant shall be entitled to compensation by reason of anything lawfully done in pursuance of any public authority, after the execution hereof and before the expiration of the Lease Term, then this Lease and the Lease Term shall terminate at the election of either Landlord or Tenant (given by written notice to the other within sixty (60) days of the taking or within ninety (90) days of notice of the taking to Landlord), and such election may be made in case of any such taking notwithstanding the entire interest of Landlord may have been divested by such taking; and if neither party so elects, then in case of any such taking or destruction of, or damage to, the Premises, rendering the same or any part thereof unfit for use and occupation, a just proportion of the Base Rent according to the nature and extent of the injury sustained by the Premises, as agreed to by Landlord and Tenant, shall be suspended or abated until the Premises or, in case of such taking, what may remain thereof, shall have been put in proper condition for use and occupation. To the extent that the Premises, upon having been put in proper condition for use and occupation are smaller, the Base Rent hereinbefore reserved shall be reduced for the balance of the Lease Term in the same proportion which the reduction in space bears to the original Leasable Square Footage of the Premises.
Section 11.2 Restoration. If this Lease is not terminated as provided in Section 11.1, Landlord shall apply so much of the available proceeds of the eminent domain award as are required to restore Landlord’s Property and the Premises to a condition, to the extent practical, substantially the same as that immediately preceding the taking, but subject to Legal Requirements then in existence. The term “available proceeds” shall mean the amount of the award paid to Landlord, less cost of obtaining the same (including attorneys’ fees and appraisal fees) and less the amount thereof required to be paid to a mortgagee. In the event Landlord fails to commence restoration of the Landlord’s Property and/or the Premises within sixty (60) days after the taking, Tenant shall have the right to terminate the Lease upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to Landlord.
Section 11.3 Landlord to Control Eminent Domain Action. Landlord reserves all rights to compensation for damage to the Premises or any part thereof, or the leasehold hereby created, heretofore accrued or hereafter to accrue, by reason of any taking for public use of said Premises or any portion thereof, or right appurtenant thereto, or privilege or easement in, through, under or over the same, and by way of confirmation of the foregoing Tenant hereby assigns all rights to such damages heretofore accrued or hereafter accruing during the Lease Term to Landlord. However, nothing herein contained shall limit Tenant’s right to any separate award for the taking of personal property, moving expenses, or other items the payment of which shall not reduce the award payable to Landlord.

ARTICLE XII
DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
Section 12.1 Event of Default. As used herein, a “Default” shall mean the occurrence and/or existence of any one or more of the following: (a) (i) Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of Base Rent or the Taxes, Insurance Costs or Operating Costs on or before the date on which the same becomes due and payable, and such failure continues for fifteen (15) days after Landlord gives Tenant written notice thereof; or (b) Tenant shall neglect or fail to perform or observe any of the other covenants or undertakings herein on its part to be performed or observed and such neglect or failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after notice to Tenant; provided that if the default is other than a default under clause (a) above, or clauses (c) through (f) below, and is such that it cannot be cured within thirty (30) days such thirty (30) day period shall be extended for as long as may be reasonably necessary to cure the default; or (c) there is filed by Tenant any case, petition, proceeding or other action for protection, reorganization or liquidation under any Bankruptcy Law; or (d) any other proceedings shall be instituted against Tenant under any Bankruptcy Law and not be dismissed within one hundred twenty (120) days; or (e) a receiver, custodian or other similar officer for Tenant shall be appointed and not be discharged within one hundred twenty (120) days; or (f) an assignment or sublease in violation of the terms of this Lease.
Section 12.2 Landlord’s Remedies.
(a) After the expiration of any cure periods set forth in Section 12.1 above, Landlord shall provide notice thereof to Tenant and Tenant shall have (i) thirty (30) days after such notice to cure any non-payment default and if such non-payment default is of a nature that it cannot be cured within thirty (30) days such thirty (30) day period shall be extended for as long as may be reasonably necessary to cure the default provided that Tenant commences such cure within such thirty (30) day period and diligently pursues the cure thereof or (ii) ten (10) days after such notice to cure any payment defaults; provided; however, that this additional ten (10) day notice and cure period for payment defaults shall not be available to Tenant more than two (2) times in any twelve (12) month period. After the expiration of such second (2nd) notice and cure period, if applicable (hereafter an “Event of Default”), then at any time thereafter if such Event of Default is in existence then Landlord, in compliance with all Legal Requirements may pursue all legal and equitable remedies to terminate this Lease, repossess the Premises and expel Tenant and those claiming through or under it and remove their effects without being deemed guilty of any manner of trespass and without prejudice to any remedy which might otherwise be used for arrears of Base Rent or breach of covenant, and thereupon this Lease shall terminate and Landlord, in addition to all other remedies which it may have at law or equity, and not in limitation thereof, shall have the remedies provided in this Article XII. No termination of this Lease and/or repossession of the Premises pursuant to this Section 12.1 shall relieve Tenant of its obligations under this Lease, which shall survive such termination or repossession.
(b) From the termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 12.2(a) through the remainder of the Lease Term, until such time, if any, that Landlord exercises its right pursuant to Section 12.2(c), Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Base Rent, Insurance Costs, Taxes and Operating Costs in installments as and when the same become due and payable, subject to
23
reduction by any rent actually received by Landlord as a result of a re-letting of the Premises (net of the actual reasonable and customary costs of re-letting, including remodeling costs, brokerage commissions and attorneys’ fees). Landlord shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to re-let the Premises to mitigate damages, and Landlord may re-let the Premises or any part or parts thereof, either in the name of Landlord or otherwise for a term or terms which may, at Landlord’s option, be less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Lease Term; provided; that, Landlord shall be deemed to have expended commercially reasonable efforts to re-let the Premises if it engages a commercial real estate broker with experience in the market that the Premises is located and such broker lists the Premises at the then current market rents. Any suit brought to collect the amount of deficiency for any month or other period shall not prejudice in any way the right of Landlord to collect the deficiency for any subsequent month or period by a similar proceeding. Landlord, at Landlord’s option, may make such alterations, repairs, replacements and decorations on the Premises as Landlord in Landlord’s sole but reasonable judgment considers advisable and necessary for the purpose of re-letting the Premises, and the making of such alterations or decorations shall not operate or be construed to release Tenant from liability hereunder.
(c) At Landlord’s option exercisable by written notice given to Tenant upon or after the termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 12.2(a) and in lieu of an damages provided in Section 12.2(b) above, Tenant shall forthwith pay to Landlord as damages, in addition to all sums which were due prior to the exercise of such option by Landlord, a sum equal to the amount by which the Base Rent for the remainder of the Lease Term exceeds the fair rental value of the Premises determined as of the termination date for the remainder of the Lease Term, discounted to present value using a then market rate of interest as reasonably determined by the Landlord.
Section 12.3 Reimbursement of Landlord. After the termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 12.2(a), Tenant will, in addition to paying Landlord all amounts due under the terms and provisions of this Lease, including, without limitation, Section 12.9, reimburse Landlord for all reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in collecting such rent or in obtaining possession of, or in re-letting the Premises, or in defending any action, including expenses for reasonable and actual counsel fees and commissions. If, on termination of this Lease by expiration or otherwise, Tenant shall fail to remove any of its property from the Premises as provided for herein, Landlord shall be authorized, in its sole option, and in Tenant’s name and on its behalf, either (a) to cause such property to be removed and placed in storage for the account and at the expense of Tenant; or (b) to sell such property at public or private sale, with or without notice, and to apply the proceeds thereof, after the payment of all expenses of removal, storage and sale, to the indebtedness, if any, of Tenant to Landlord, the surplus, if any, to be paid to Tenant.
Section 12.4 Landlord’s Right to Perform Tenant’s Covenants. Tenant covenants and agrees that, if there shall at any time exist an Event of Default with respect to Tenant’s obligation to make any payment or perform any other act on its part to be made or performed as in this Lease provided, Landlord, in its sole discretion, may make any payment or perform such other act on the part of Tenant to be made or performed as in this Lease provided, in such manner and to such extent as Landlord may reasonably deem desirable, and in exercising any such rights, Landlord may pay reasonable, actual and necessary costs and expenses, employ counsel, and
24
incur and pay reasonable and actual attorneys’ fees. The making of any such payment or the performing of such other act by Landlord pursuant to this Article 12 shall not waive, or release Tenant from, any obligations of Tenant in this Lease contained. All sums so paid by Landlord and all reasonably necessary and incidental costs and expenses in connection with the performance of any such act by Landlord shall, except as otherwise in this Lease expressly provided, be payable to Landlord on demand, and Tenant covenants to pay any such sum or sums promptly, and Landlord shall have (in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord) the same rights and remedies in the event of the non-payment thereof by Tenant as in the case of default by Tenant in the payment of the Base Rent.
Section 12.5 Cumulative Remedies. The specified remedies to which Landlord or Tenant may resort under the terms of this Lease are cumulative and not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies or means of redress to which Landlord may be lawfully entitled in case of any breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any provisions of this Lease. The failure of Landlord or Tenant to insist in any one or more cases upon the strict performance of any of the covenants of this Lease or to exercise any option contained herein shall not be construed as a waiver or a relinquishment for the future of such covenant or option. Receipt by Landlord of any Base Rent payment with knowledge of the breach of any covenants hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. No payment by Tenant, whether or not expressly under protest, shall be deemed a waiver of Tenant’s right to dispute its obligation to pay or its right to seek a refund of the same. No waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by it. In addition to the other remedies provided in this Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall be entitled to restraint by injunction of any violation or attempted or threatened violation of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary elsewhere in this Lease, Tenant will not be liable for indirect or consequential damages, other than damages for holding over beyond the end of the Lease Term.
Section 12.6 Expenses of Enforcement. Tenant agrees to pay all reasonable and actual out-of-pocket expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord in enforcing any obligation or any remedies hereunder including, without limitation, in connection with collection of Base Rent, recovery by Landlord of the Premises, or in any litigation in which Landlord shall become involved by reason of any act or negligence of any of Tenant’s Invitees or any breach of this Lease by Tenant.
Section 12.7 Landlord’s Default. Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default hereunder unless such default shall remain uncured for more than thirty (30) days following written notice from Tenant to Landlord specifying the nature of such default, or such longer period as may be reasonably required to correct such default. In no event whatsoever shall Landlord be liable for consequential or any indirect damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, so long as any Event of Default exists, Tenant shall not be entitled to enforce any obligation from Landlord or seek any cure of Landlord’s defaults under this Lease. The provisions of this Section 12.7 are further subject to the provisions of Articles X and XI dealing with eminent domain and fire and other casualty.
25
Section 12.8 Limitation of Liability. The obligations of Landlord hereunder shall be binding upon Landlord and each succeeding owner of Landlord’s interest hereunder only during the period of such ownership, and Landlord and each succeeding owner shall have no liability whatsoever except for its obligations during each such respective period. Tenant hereby agrees for itself and each succeeding holder of Tenant’s interest, or any portion thereof, hereunder, that any judgment, decree or award obtained against Landlord or any succeeding owner of Landlord’s interest, which is in any manner related to this Lease, the Premises or Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises or the remainder of Landlord’s Property, whether at law or in equity, shall be satisfied out of Landlord’s equity in the land and buildings then comprising Landlord’s Property owned by Landlord to the extent then owned by Landlord and such succeeding owner, or any insurance policies maintained by Landlord, and further agrees to look only to such assets and to no other assets of Landlord, or such succeeding owner, for satisfaction. Neither Landlord nor any Person executing this Lease on behalf of Landlord, nor any partner, limited or general, or any officer, director, employee, member, trustee, beneficiary, or owner of Landlord, nor any subsequent Landlord, or any partner, limited or general, or any officer, director, employee, member, trustee, beneficiary, or owner of any subsequent Landlord shall have any personal liability hereunder. No Person executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant, nor any shareholder, director, officer or employee of Tenant, shall have any personal liability hereunder.
Section 12.9 Late Payment and Administrative Expense. If Tenant shall fail to pay Base Rent, Insurance Costs, Operating Costs and Taxes or other charges within fifteen (15) days after the same become due and payable under this Lease, such unpaid amounts shall bear interest from the due date thereof to the date of payment at an annual rate equal to the prime rate announced from time to time by Bank of America (or any successor). In addition, if Landlord is required to redeposit any check which is returned for insufficient funds or if Tenant shall fail to pay Base Rent or other charges within fifteen (15) days after the same become due and payable, then Tenant shall also pay to Landlord an administrative expense charge of five percent (5%) of the amount thereof. The provisions herein for the payment of interest and an administrative expense charge shall not be construed to relieve Tenant of the obligation to pay Base Rent and all other charges when due under this Lease and shall be in addition to and not in limitation of Landlord’s other remedies as provided for in this Lease.

Landlord and Tenant agree that their fire, extended coverage, and other insurance policies will include such a clause, whenever available.
Section 13.6 Entire Agreement; Execution; Time of the Essence and Headings. This Lease together with all Exhibits referred to herein and the Summary of Basic Terms, sets forth the entire agreement between the parties hereto and cannot be modified or amended, except in a writing duly executed by the respective parties. This Lease, together with all Exhibits referred to herein and the Summary of Basic Terms, supersedes all previous written and oral negotiations, understandings and agreements regarding the subject matter of this Lease. Neither Landlord nor Tenant nor any Person acting on behalf of Landlord or Tenant has made any representations to the other on which the other has relied in entering into this Lease except any representations expressly stated in this Lease. This Lease is executed as a sealed instrument and in multiple counterparts, all copies of which are identical, and any one of which is to be deemed to be complete in itself and may be introduced in evidence or used for any purpose without the production of any other copy. Time is of the essence of the obligations of Tenant and Landlord to be performed within a specific time frame in this Lease. The headings throughout this Lease are for convenience of reference only, and shall in no way be held or deemed to define, limit,
27
explain, describe, modify or add to the interpretation, construction or meaning of any provision of this Lease.
Section 13.7 Partial Invalidity. If any term or condition of this Lease or its application to any Person or circumstance shall to any extent be in violation of or unenforceable under any law, rule, regulation or order (including any court order) now existing or hereafter enacted or entered by any court or other governmental entity having competent jurisdiction (including after all appeals therefrom), the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such term or condition to Persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby and shall be enforceable to the fullest extent not prohibited by law.

No payment by Tenant or acceptance by Landlord of a lesser amount than shall be due Landlord from Tenant shall be deemed to be anything but payment on account, and the acceptance by Landlord of a check for a lesser amount with an endorsement or statement thereon, or upon a letter accompanying said check, that said lesser amount is payment in full shall not be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept said check without prejudice to recover the balance due or pursue any other remedy.
Section 13.9 Holdover. If Tenant remains in the Premises beyond the expiration of this Lease at the end of the Lease Term, or sooner following an early termination as provided for herein, such holding over shall not be deemed to create any tenancy, but Tenant shall be a daily Tenant at sufferance only subject to all of Tenant’s obligations set forth herein, but at a daily rate equal to (a) one and one-half times the Base Rent then in effect plus (b) all other charges provided for under this Lease including Operating Costs, Insurance Costs and Taxes. The acceptance of a purported rent check following termination shall not constitute the creation of a tenancy at will, it being agreed that Tenant’s status shall remain that of a daily Tenant at sufferance, at the aforesaid daily rate. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all direct damages, if any, sustained by reason of any such holding over, but in no event shall Tenant be responsible for consequential damages. Otherwise, such holding over shall be on the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease as far as applicable.
Section 13.10 When Lease Becomes Binding. The submission of this document for examination and negotiation does not constitute an offer to lease or a reservation or an option for the Premises, and this document shall become effective and binding only upon the execution and delivery hereof by both Landlord and Tenant and the receipt by Landlord of the Security Deposit and the first monthly installment of Base Rent.

28
Section 13.11 No Recordation. Tenant shall not record this Lease with any registry of deeds or land court, and any such recordation will be void and constitute an Event of Default under this Lease.

Section 13.12 As Is. Tenant represents to Landlord that it has leased the Premises after a full and complete examination of the same, and by its execution and delivery of this Lease, Tenant hereby acknowledges that neither Landlord, nor Landlord’s agents, has made any representation or promises with respect to the Premises, the Building, or the land upon which it stands, and no rights, easements or licenses are acquired by Tenant, by implication or otherwise, except as may be set forth expressly in this Lease.

Arbitration proceedings, including the selection of an arbitrator, shall be conducted pursuant to the rules, regulations and procedures from time to time in effect as promulgated by the American Arbitration Association. Prior written notice of application by either party for arbitration shall be given to the other at least ten (10) days before submission of the application to the said Association’s office in Providence, Rhode Island. The arbitrator shall hear the parties and their evidence. The decision of the arbitrator shall be binding and conclusive, and judgment upon the award or decision of the arbitrator may be entered in the appropriate court of law; and the parties consent to the jurisdiction of such court and further agree that any process of notice of motion or other application to the Court or a Judge thereof may be served outside the State of Rhode Island by registered mail or by personal service, provided a reasonable time for appearance is allowed. The costs and expenses of each arbitration hereunder and their apportionment between the parties shall be determined by the arbitrator in his award or decision. No arbitrable dispute shall be deemed to have arisen under this Lease prior to the expiration of the period of ten (10) days after the date of the giving of written notice by the party asserting the existence of the dispute together with a description thereof sufficient for an understanding thereof.
Section 13.14 Confidentiality. Tenant acknowledges that the terms under which Landlord has leased the Premises to Tenant, (including, without limitation, the rental rate(s), term and other financial and business terms), constitute confidential information of Landlord (the “Confidential Information”). Tenant covenants and agrees to keep the Confidential Information completely confidential; provided that (a) the Confidential Information may be disclosed by Tenant to those of its officers, employees, attorneys, accountants, lenders and financial advisors (collectively, “representatives”) who need to know such information in connection with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises and for financial reporting and credit related activities (it being understood that Tenant shall inform its representatives of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and that such representatives shall be directed by Tenant to treat the Confidential Information confidentially in accordance with the terms of this Section 13.14), and (b) unless required by securities regulations or other applicable law, any other disclosure of the
29
Confidential Information may only be made if Landlord consents in writing prior to any such disclosure.
Section 13.15 Summary of Basic Terms.

The Summary of Basic Terms, and every particular item thereon, shall be deemed incorporated by reference into the main text of this Lease.
Section 13.16 Tenant’s Purchase Option. At anytime during the first six (6) months of last Lease Year of the Initial Term Tenant shall have the option of purchasing the Landlord’s Property for $4,457,750.00 by providing Landlord with written notice of its intention to do so setting forth a closing date which is at least six (6) months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term and not less than fifteen (15) days after the date that such notice is sent. In connection with the foregoing, Landlord agrees that other than for any mortgages that Landlord may encumber the property with during the Initial Term (which mortgages Landlord agrees it shall be responsible for paying off and discharging in the event Tenant exercises its rights under this Section 13.16) of the Lease, Landlord shall not encumber, restrict or alienate all or any portion of the Landlord’s Property without the consent of the Tenant, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord and Tenant agree (i) that all closing costs, including documentary stamps, recording charges and transfer taxes, shall be allocated in accordance with customary practice in the State of Rhode Island for similar transactions and (ii) to deliver such documents, certificates and affidavits as are customarily delivered in the State of Rhode Island for similar transactions.
