Purchaser’s Work shall be conducted at Purchaser’s sole expense and shall be conducted in accordance with applicable laws, including, without limitation, laws relating to worker safety and the proper disposal of discarded materials.
(e) Purchaser shall, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, promptly repair any damage to the Property caused by Purchaser or the Purchaser Parties and restore such Property or any portion thereof to substantially the same condition it was in prior to such damage, failing which Seller may perform such repairs and restoration and Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for the reasonable cost and expense thereof.
(f) Prior to such time as Purchaser or any of the Purchaser Parties enter the Property, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Seller, Purchaser shall obtain or cause to be obtained insurance coverage as described below, for any and all Claims arising in connection with or incident to (i) the inspection of the Property by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Parties or (ii) the Purchaser’s or Purchaser Parties’ presence thereon:

Each policy must be written so that the effective (or retroactive) date of the policy is prior to the date of Purchaser’s first access to the Property. Any such “claims made” basis policy shall be maintained until the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations, but in any event for a period of not less than one (1) year following the date of this Agreement;
(vi) If any such insurance policy expires before the termination of Purchaser’s obligation to carry such insurance pursuant to this Agreement, Seller shall be provided with renewal certificates or binders prior to such expiration;
(vii) All insurance coverage required to be maintained by Purchaser hereunder shall be issued by insurance companies having a A.M. Best rating of at least A-VIII; and

Partners, LP as Managing Agent, Fallon Management Company LLC, The Fallon Company LLC, Cornerstone Real Estate Advisers LLC, Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, any affiliates of Seller as Seller may reasonably request upon reasonable advanced notice and Drawbridge Special Opportunities Fund LP, as agent for certain lenders, as additional insureds on the commercial general liability insurance and commercial automobile insurance policies.
(g) Purchaser shall not communicate with any Tenants without giving Seller at least two (2) Business Days’ prior notice, which notice may be given by telephone or e-mail to Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx at 617-737-4100 or xxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx, and a representative of Seller

(i) Except to the extent contemplated in Section 5.3(b) with respect to the Transaction Press Release, the Required Form 8-K Filing and the Required Agreement Filing, in no event shall Purchaser or its affiliates, attorneys, agents or representatives communicate with any Governmental Authority concerning the Property or the proposed sale of the Property; provided, however, that as long as this Agreement is in effect, Purchaser and its affiliates, attorneys, agents or representatives may contact any Governmental Authority as part of Purchaser’s customary due diligence to confirm compliance with applicable environmental, zoning and building code requirements provided that: (i) neither Purchaser nor its affiliates, attorneys, agents or representatives shall disclose the proposed sale of the Property or any aspect thereof (including, without limitation, the proposed purchase price to be paid for the purchase of the Property) to any of such Governmental Authorities; (ii) in no event shall Purchaser or its affiliates, attorneys, agents or representatives request any inspections of the Property by any of such Governmental Authorities; and (iii) Purchaser and its affiliates, attorneys, agents or representatives shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid triggering any inspections of the Property by any of such Governmental Authorities.
(j) The provisions of this Section 5.1 supersede the provisions of the Access Agreement dated December 31, 2013 between Seller and Purchaser, except that the provisions of this Section 5.1 shall be construed as if they were in effect during the term of such Access Agreement notwithstanding that such term predates the effectiveness of this Agreement.
Section 5.2 Waiver of Additional Diligence Period.
(a) Prior to the Effective Date, Seller has provided to Purchaser copies of the following items and materials: the Leases, the Contracts (including, without limitation, the Required Contracts), the Permits (to the extent in Seller’s possession or control), the Reports, the Plans and Specifications (to the extent in Seller’s possession or control), Seller’s most recent title insurance policies for the Property together with all of the exception documents referred to therein (to the extent such exception documents are in Seller’s possession or control), Seller’s most recent survey(s) of the Property, all existing engineering reports with respect to the Property (to the extent in Seller’s possession or control), and copies of all tax bills with respect to the Property for the previous three (3) tax years.
(b) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it has executed this Agreement after a diligence period during which it had the opportunity to (i) physically inspect the Property, review economic data, underwrite the Tenants, review the Leases, conduct appraisals, perform examinations of the physical condition of the Improvements, examine the Real Property for the presence of Hazardous Materials in accordance with this Agreement, and to otherwise conduct
such due diligence review of the Property and all records and other materials related thereto as Purchaser, in its absolute discretion, deemed appropriate, (ii) review the Due Diligence Materials and (iii) otherwise conduct due diligence review of the Property.
(c) Not less than thirty-five (35) days prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall notify Seller as to which Contracts, if any, Purchaser wishes to assume and have assigned to it at the Closing (any such Contracts, the “Assumed Contracts”) pursuant to the applicable Assignment and Assumption Agreement and which Contracts, if any, shall be terminated by Seller, and in the absence of any such notice, Purchaser shall be deemed to elect to assume all of the Contracts; provided, however, that in all events the Assumed Contracts shall include the Required Contracts. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller, at its sole cost and expense, shall terminate all management agreements relating to the Property other than the Garage Management Agreement effective on or before the Closing Date, and in no event shall such management agreements or the Brokerage Agreements be considered Assumed Contracts, irrespective of whether or not such agreements are included in the notice given by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 5.2(c). Purchaser will assume the obligations applicable to the period from and after the Closing Date under the Assumed Contracts. Seller shall terminate all other Contracts at or before Closing, except for the Construction Agreements and the Brokerage Agreements, which shall remain in effect after Closing but shall not be Assumed Contracts.
(d) If Purchaser terminates this Agreement under any provision of this Agreement (other than pursuant to Section 11.1), Purchaser shall, upon written request from Seller, promptly deliver to Seller copies of all third party reports, studies and investigations relating to the Property in Purchaser’s possession or under its control (other than any reports, studies and investigations prepared by Purchaser’s business manager, Reit Management & Research, LLC, any attorney and accountant work product and any other materials subject to any legal privilege in favor of Purchaser), the same to be without warranty or representation by Purchaser or cost to Seller.
Section 5.3 Confidentiality.
(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but subject to the other provisions of this Section 5.3 and Section 16.14 of the applicable Vertex Lease, Purchaser shall hold all Confidential Information in confidence prior to Closing and shall not at any time prior to Closing disclose or permit the disclosure of the Confidential Information to any Person without Seller’s prior written consent. Purchaser further agrees, prior to Closing, to use the Confidential Information only for purposes of evaluating the Property in connection with its purchase thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall not disclose the transaction contemplated hereby or the Confidential Information to any Person, other than to such of its employees, officers, directors, attorneys, accountants and consultants who have a need to review the Confidential Information for the purpose of advising Purchaser on the suitability of the Property for purchase, and to its lenders and investors, provided that (y) in each case such Persons have been informed in writing of the confidential nature of such information and (z) Purchaser shall in no event disclose any financial information regarding any Seller Party to its investors without Seller’s prior written consent. Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all its employees, officers, directors, attorneys, accountants and consultants to whom it discloses the Confidential Information shall keep the
same confidential in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Purchaser shall be responsible for any disclosure or use of Confidential Information in violation of this Agreement by any such Person to whom Purchaser discloses the Confidential Information.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.3(a), Purchaser may disclose Confidential Information without Seller’s consent to the extent required by law, regulation or stock exchange rule or pursuant to a subpoena, court order or other legal proceeding. Purchaser hereby represents and warrants that Purchaser is required by law to (i) publicly announce the transaction contemplated by this Agreement on or immediately following the Effective Date (such announcement, the “Transaction Press Release”), (ii) disclose the entry into this Agreement and certain information related thereto in a so-called “current report” on Form 8-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) within four (4) Business Days following the Effective Date (the “Required Form 8-K Filing”) and (iii) file a copy of this Agreement (and any amendment thereto) as an exhibit to either the Required Form 8-K Filing or a subsequent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC, covering the period in which this Agreement (or any amendment thereto) is executed (the “Required Agreement Filing”). Based on such representation and warranty, Seller consents to Purchaser making the Transaction Press Release, the Required Form 8-K Filing and the Required Agreement Filing as required by law, provided that Purchaser may include in the Transaction Press Release, the Required Form 8-K Filing and the Required Agreement Filing only those portions of the Confidential Information that Purchaser is legally obligated to disclose, as determined in good faith by Purchaser. Purchaser shall notify Seller (both by telephone and in writing) within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of any other legally required disclosure, and shall cooperate with Seller’s counsel in any appeal or challenge to such other disclosure made by Seller. If no protective order or similar relief is obtained with respect to such other disclosure, Purchaser: (i) may disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that it is legally obligated to disclose, as determined in good faith by Purchaser, (ii) shall exercise reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurances that the disclosed information will be kept confidential and (iii) shall exercise reasonable efforts to provide Seller with a copy of the information to be disclosed before the same is given to any third party.
(c) If this Agreement is terminated, Purchaser shall, within three (3) Business Days after written request from Seller, (i) deliver to Seller all the Confidential Information that is in tangible form, including any copies or other embodiments thereof, or certify that the same has been destroyed (other than with respect to any filings made with the SEC prior to the time of such termination), and (ii) destroy all extracts, summaries and compilations thereof and references thereto which are in the notes, documents, databases or other records of Purchaser or its agents, representatives or affiliates (whether prepared by Purchaser or by Purchaser’s affiliates or representatives), and in either case Purchaser will certify in writing to the Seller that it has done so, provided, however, that Purchaser may retain copies to the extent that it is required to do so for legal or regulatory compliance purposes (which copies shall be retained subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.3).
(d) Except as expressly set forth in Section 5.3(b), neither Seller nor Purchaser shall make any public announcements concerning the sale of the Property pursuant to this Agreement without first obtaining the prior written consent of the other; provided, however, that Seller and Purchaser may, in their own discretion and without the consent of the other, make
such public announcements concerning the sale or the Property as each may determine is reasonable on or immediately following the Effective Date and/or the Closing Date. Seller and Purchaser shall each provide a draft of each such public announcement to, and confer with, the other Party before making any such public announcement. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3(d), (i) Seller shall not specifically reference the Purchaser named herein (i.e., Senior Housing Properties Trust) in any public announcement prior to the earlier of such time as Purchaser has made the Transaction Press Release or the Required Form 8-K Filing and (ii) Purchaser shall not be obligated to confer with Seller or receive any approval from Seller prior to making the Transaction Press Release, the Required Form 8-K Filing or the Required Agreement Filing. The provisions of this Section 5.3(d) shall survive Closing.
(e) Purchaser acknowledges that the Confidential Information is of a special, unique, unusual, extraordinary and intellectual character and that the Seller’s interest in the Confidential Information may be irreparably injured by disclosure of such Confidential Information in violation of this Agreement. Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Section 5.3 by it and that, in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity, the Seller shall be entitled to specific performance or injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any breach or potential breach by the Purchaser of this Section 5.3 and further agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold Seller and Seller Parties harmless from any and all demands, claims, causes of action, losses, damages, costs or expenses, including without limitation attorneys’ fees, arising out of any breach of this Section 5.3 by Purchaser or any Person to whom Purchaser discloses the Confidential Information in breach of this Section 5.3, provided that Purchaser shall not be liable for any consequential, special, punitive or indirect damages. The provisions of this Section 5.3(e) shall survive Closing.
(f) From and after the Closing, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Party to this transaction (and each employee, agent or representative of the foregoing) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to them relating to such tax treatment and tax structure except to the extent maintaining such confidentiality is necessary to comply with any applicable federal or state securities laws. The authorization in the preceding sentence is not intended to permit disclosure of any other information unrelated to the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction including, without limitation, (i) any portion of the transaction documents or related materials to the extent not related to the tax treatment or tax structure of the transaction, (ii) the existence or status of any negotiations unrelated to the tax issues or (iii) any other term or detail not relevant to the tax treatment or the tax structure of the transaction. The provisions of this Section 5.3(f) shall survive Closing.
(g) The provisions of this Section 5.3 shall (A) survive the termination of this Agreement but not Closing (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 5.3 and except that Purchaser acknowledges its obligation to maintain the confidentiality of the financial statements of the Master Tenant pursuant to the Master Lease) and (B) shall supersede (i) the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement executed by Purchaser (or its affiliate) on September 16, 2013 and (ii) the provisions of the Access Agreement dated December 31, 2013
between Seller and Purchaser, except that the provisions of this Section 5.3 shall be construed as if they were in effect during the terms of each such agreement notwithstanding that such terms predate the effectiveness of this Agreement.
Section 5.4 Reporting. In the event that Purchaser’s access and review under this Agreement reveals any condition of the Property that in Purchaser’s judgment requires disclosure to any Governmental Authority, Purchaser shall immediately notify Seller thereof. In such event, Seller, and not Purchaser nor anyone acting on Purchaser’s behalf, shall make such disclosures with respect to such condition as Seller deems appropriate. To the extent that Seller does not disclose such condition to an appropriate Governmental Authority despite Purchaser’s notification that, in Purchase’s judgment, such disclosure is required, Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from any and all demands, claims, causes of action, losses, damages, costs or expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Purchaser to the extent arising out of Purchaser’s or Seller’s non-disclosure of such condition, provided that Seller shall in no event be liable for any consequential, special, punitive or indirect damages.
Section 5.5 TAPAs.
(a) In order for each Seller to assign its respective TAPA to Purchaser, and for Purchaser to assume the obligations thereunder, each TAPA must be amended in accordance with the terms thereof (the “50 Northern TAPA Amendment” and the “11 Fan Pier TAPA Amendment”, respectively) and such TAPA Amendments must be executed by the applicable Seller, Purchaser and the Boston Transportation Department. Within five (5) Business Days after the Effective Date, Seller shall provide the Boston Transportation Department its notice of intent to assign the applicable TAPA pursuant to the terms of such TAPA. Seller and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate in connection with the execution and delivery of the TAPA Amendments, which shall be in customary form and substance and otherwise in compliance with the applicable TAPA, subject to the reasonable approval of Purchaser, Seller and the Boston Transportation Department. Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser and Seller shall use diligent efforts to agree with one another and with the Boston Transportation Department on the final form and substance of the TAPA Amendments as soon as practicable following the Effective Date. Promptly following such agreement, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller in escrow duly-executed counterparts of such final TAPA Amendments. Seller shall thereafter attempt to have such final TAPA Amendments executed and delivered into escrow by the Boston Transportation Department at or prior to Closing. If the TAPA Amendments are executed and delivered into escrow by the Boston Transportation Department prior to Closing, Seller shall hold such TAPA Amendments in escrow and thereafter release the TAPA Amendments at Closing in accordance with any applicable instructions from the Boston Transportation Department. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser hereby acknowledges that execution of the TAPA Amendments by the Boston Transportation Department shall not be a condition of the Closing. To the extent the TAPA Amendments are not executed at or prior to Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate to have such TAPA Amendments executed by the Boston Transportation Department as soon as practicable after Closing.
(b) From Closing through such time as the monthly rate to be paid by Vertex and its employees pursuant to Parking Agreements (as such term is defined in the Garage REA) is not restricted under the applicable Vertex Lease as in effect on the Effective Date to a
Designated Percentage (as such term is defined in the applicable Vertex Lease as in effect on the Effective Date) of 45% or 65%, each Seller agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from any and all demands, claims, causes of action, losses, damages, costs or expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Purchaser due to a default under Section 3.C or Section 4.D(H) of the applicable TAPA beyond applicable notice and cure periods caused by a failure of the monthly rate charged by the Parking Manager to constitute market rent within the meaning of such TAPA, but only to the extent such failure is attributable to application of the obligation set forth in the applicable Vertex Lease to apply a Designated Percentage of 45% or 65% and provided that upon receiving any notice from the Boston Transportation Department in respect of any alleged default under Section 3.C or Section 4.D(H) of the applicable TAPA, Purchaser shall promptly provide the applicable Seller with a copy of such notice and Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller, at no out-of-pocket cost to Purchaser (unless such cost is reimbursed to Purchaser), in attempting to cure or otherwise resolve such default (including, without limitation, permitting the applicable Seller to communicate directly with the Boston Transportation Department). In addition, each Seller agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from any and all demands, claims, causes of action, losses, damages, costs or expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Purchaser due to the failure of the Boston Transportation Department to execute the TAPA Amendments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall in no event be liable for any consequential, special, punitive or indirect damages.
(c) The provisions of this Section 5.5 shall survive the Closing.
ARTICLE 6
Conditions Precedent, Casualty, Condemnation
Section 6.1 Conditions Precedent Favoring Purchaser. Purchaser’s obligation to purchase the Property is subject to the fulfillment of the conditions set forth in this Section 6.1 on or before the Closing Date or such earlier date as is set forth below. Each condition may be waived in whole or in part only by written notice of such waiver from Purchaser to Seller or by Purchaser consummating the transactions described in this Agreement at the Closing.
(a) Seller shall have performed and complied in all material respects with all of the terms of this Agreement to be performed and complied with by Seller, as the case may be, prior to or at the Closing.
(b) Subject to Section 7.5, on the Closing Date, the Seller Representations (as the same have been updated pursuant to Section 7.5(c)) shall be true, complete and accurate in all material respects, subject to: (1) changes that: (x) are caused by the acts or omissions of Purchaser or Persons acting under Purchaser, (y) cannot reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to (i) have an adverse effect upon Purchaser or the Property in excess of the Threshold Amount, with respect to any such changes that have measurable monetary implications, or (ii) have an adverse effect in any material respect on the 50 Northern Property or the 11 Fan Pier Property, with respect to any other changes, or (z) are a result of the construction, operation, management and/or leasing of the Property in the normal course of business since the Effective Date and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; (2) Casualty or
Condemnation (which shall be governed by Section 6.3) and (3) any deemed modification or modification to any Seller Representation pursuant to Section 7.5(b) or (c); provided, however, that with respect to any Seller Representation that is made as of the Effective Date (or another specified date) or expressly states that it is made with respect to facts as of a specified date, this condition shall be satisfied so long as such Seller Representation was true, complete and accurate in all material respects as of the Effective Date or such other specified date, as applicable.
(c) Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall have received Estoppel Certificates from Vertex with respect to each of the Vertex 50 Northern Lease (the “50 Northern Vertex Estoppel”) and the Vertex 11 Fan Pier Lease (the “11 Fan Pier Vertex Estoppel”), in each case dated no earlier than sixty (60) days before the Closing (the “Vertex Estoppel Requirement”), provided that Seller shall have the option from time to time, by written notice to Purchaser delivered not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, to extend the Closing Date for up to thirty (30) days to the extent Seller deems necessary to permit Seller to satisfy the requirement to deliver such Vertex Estoppels not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing. Each Vertex Estoppel shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule 6.1(c), but such form may contain modifications and additions so long as the substance of such form is included. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.1(m) below, no Vertex Estoppel Certificate shall count towards the Estoppel Requirement if it (1) discloses any material default by Seller or Vertex that was not disclosed to Purchaser before the Effective Date, (2) contains information that is materially inconsistent with the information set forth in the Vertex Leases or the Due Diligence Materials as made available to Purchaser before the Effective Date, (3) sets forth claims or disputes not disclosed to Purchaser before the Effective Date, and in each case such claims or disputes can reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to (i) have an adverse effect upon Purchaser or the Property in excess of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), with respect to any such claims or disputes that have measurable monetary implications, or (ii) have an adverse effect in any material respect on the 50 Northern Property or the 11 Fan Pier Property, with respect to any other such claims or disputes, or (4) discloses any information that would make any Seller Representation untrue in any material respect (without regard to the immediately following sentence). If any Vertex Estoppel provided to Purchaser contains any information that is inconsistent with any Seller Representation, such Seller Representation shall be deemed modified by the information contained in such Vertex Estoppel. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary but subject to the provisions set forth in Section 6.1(m) below, a Vertex Estoppel that would otherwise satisfy the requirements for an acceptable Vertex Estoppel above, except for an alleged “landlord default” or any Vertex claims or disputes in excess of the foregoing amounts set forth in such Vertex Estoppel shall be deemed acceptable and shall count toward the Vertex Estoppel Requirement if (x) Seller cures such asserted landlord default at or prior to the Closing, or (y) Seller is disputing such landlord default in good faith, such alleged default could not reasonably be expected to result in a termination of the respective Vertex Lease and Seller deposits (which may be funded from proceeds otherwise distributable to Seller at the Closing) with the Escrow Agent at the Closing funds in the amount of 125% of the amount reasonably adequate to effect the cure of such landlord default post-Closing and pay Vertex all amounts due under such Vertex Lease or that otherwise may be due to Vertex under applicable law, if any, as a result thereof, such funds to be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent until such dispute is resolved in the applicable landlord’s favor or such landlord default is cured, and if such dispute or default is not so resolved in the applicable landlord’s favor within ninety (90) days after the Closing, Purchaser may use and apply so much of the
escrow funds as shall be necessary to cure the landlord default and pay Vertex all amounts due under such Vertex Lease or that may otherwise be due to Vertex under applicable law, if any, as a result thereof, and any remaining balance shall be promptly remitted to Seller. Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with Seller’s efforts to effect such cure after the Closing at no out-of-pocket cost to Purchaser (unless such cost is reimbursed to Purchaser). Any Vertex Estoppel that sets forth claims, disputes or landlord defaults with respect to matters that are included in the applicable Finish Work Reconciliation Statement (as defined in the Vertex Leases) shall conclusively be deemed not to have an adverse effect with respect to such claims, disputes or landlord defaults, provided that Seller is disputing such claims, disputes or landlord defaults, such matters could not reasonably be expected to result in a termination of the respective Vertex Lease and Seller deposits (which may be funded from proceeds otherwise distributable to Seller at the Closing) with the Escrow Agent at the Closing funds in the amount of 125% of the amount reasonably adequate to effect the resolution of such matters post-Closing and pay Vertex all amounts due under such Vertex Lease or that otherwise may be due to Vertex under applicable law, if any, as a result thereof, such funds to be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent until such matter is resolved in the applicable landlord’s favor, and if such matter is not so resolved in the applicable landlord’s favor within ninety (90) days after the Closing, Purchaser may use and apply so much of the escrow funds as shall be necessary to resolve such matter and pay Vertex all amounts due under such Vertex Lease or that may otherwise be due to Vertex under applicable law, if any, as a result thereof, and any remaining balance shall be promptly remitted to Seller. The provisions of this Section 6.1(c) shall survive Closing.
(d) Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall have received Estoppel Certificates confirming the accuracy in all material respects of the Rent Roll from Other Tenants (each, an “Other Tenant Estoppel”) or shall have been provided with Seller Estoppels as permitted by the following sentence, in each case dated no earlier than sixty (60) days before the Closing, in a sufficient number so that, in the aggregate, Purchaser receives Estoppel Certificates that cover at least seventy percent (70%) (by net rentable square feet) of the Improvements that are subject to Other Leases as of the Closing (the “Other Tenant Estoppel Requirement”). If the Seller is unable to obtain a sufficient number of Other Tenant Estoppels to meet the Other Tenant Estoppel Requirement, Seller or either of them (whichever is the landlord of the Tenant at issue) may, at their respective sole option, provide to the Purchaser one or more substitute Estoppel Certificates with respect to one or more of the Other Leases (a “Seller Estoppel”) to the extent necessary to satisfy the Other Tenant Estoppel Requirement. Seller shall be entitled to continue to attempt to obtain an Other Tenant Estoppel from such Other Tenants after Closing. If Purchaser subsequently receives an Other Tenant Estoppel from any Other Tenant for whom the applicable Seller has delivered a Seller Estoppel, Seller shall thereupon be released from liability with respect to the Seller Estoppel given with respect to such Other Tenant to the extent that the information contained in the Other Tenant Estoppel obtained from the Other Tenant is materially consistent with the information contained in Seller Estoppel. Each Other Tenant Estoppel shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule 6.1(d), but such form may contain modifications and additions so long as the substance of such form is included, and the delivery of an Other Tenant Estoppel in form that complies in all material respects with the applicable Other Lease shall in all events be deemed to be an Other Tenant Estoppel in form and shall satisfy the Other Tenant Estoppel Requirement as to form for such Other Lease. Except as provided in Section 6.1(m) below, no Other Tenant Estoppel (or Seller Estoppel) shall count towards the Other Tenant Estoppel Requirement if it (1) discloses any
material default by Seller or the respective Other Tenant that was not disclosed to Purchaser before the Effective Date, (2) contains information that is materially inconsistent with the information set forth in the Other Leases or the Due Diligence Materials as made available to Purchaser before the Effective Date, (3) sets forth claims or disputes not disclosed to Purchaser before the Effective Date, and in each case such claims or disputes can reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to (i) have an adverse effect upon Purchaser or the Property in excess of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), with respect to any such claims or disputes that have measurable monetary implications, or (ii) have an adverse effect in any material respect on the 50 Northern Property or the 11 Fan Pier Property, with respect to any other such claims or disputes, or (4) discloses any information that would make any Seller Representation untrue in any material respect (without regard to the immediately following sentence). If any Other Tenant Estoppel or Seller Estoppel provided to Purchaser contains any information that is inconsistent with any Seller Representation, the Seller Representation shall be deemed modified by the information contained in such estoppel. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary but subject to the provisions set forth in Section 6.1(m) below, an Other Tenant Estoppel that would otherwise satisfy the requirements for an acceptable Tenant Estoppel above, except for an alleged “landlord default” or any Other Tenant claims or disputes in excess of the foregoing amounts set forth in such Certificate shall be deemed acceptable and shall count toward the Other Tenant Estoppel Requirement if (x) the applicable Seller cures such asserted landlord default at or prior to the Closing, or (y) the applicable Seller is disputing such landlord default in good faith, such alleged default could not reasonably be expected to result in a termination of the respective Other Lease, and Seller deposits (which may be funded from proceeds otherwise distributable to Seller at the Closing) with the Escrow Agent at the Closing funds in the amount of 125% of the amount reasonably adequate to effect the cure of such landlord default post-Closing and pay the Other Tenant all amounts due under the Other Lease or that otherwise may be due to the Other Tenant under applicable law, if any, as a result thereof, such funds to be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent until such dispute is resolved in the applicable landlord’s favor or such landlord default is cured, and if such dispute or default is not resolved in the applicable landlord’s favor within ninety (90) days after the Closing, Purchaser may use and apply so much of the escrow funds as shall be necessary to cure the landlord default and pay the Other Tenant all amounts due under the Other Lease or that may otherwise be due to the Other Tenant under applicable law, if any, as a result thereof, and any remaining balance shall be promptly remitted to Seller. Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with Seller’s efforts to effect such cure after the Closing at no out-of-pocket cost to Purchaser (unless such cost is reimbursed to Purchaser). Seller shall use good faith efforts to obtain Other Tenant Estoppels that satisfy the Other Tenant Estoppel Requirement, provided that Seller shall in no event be obligated to expend any funds in connection with obtaining such Other Tenant Estoppels, and Purchaser agrees that in no event shall the failure of Seller to obtain sufficient Other Tenant Estoppels to satisfy the Other Tenant Estoppel Requirement in and of itself constitute a default by Seller under this Agreement.

Following Closing, Seller shall diligently pursue completion of such outstanding Punch List Items.

The Releases may include claims of which Purchaser is presently unaware or which Purchaser does not presently suspect to exist, which, if known by Purchaser, would materially affect Purchaser’s release of Seller and/or the other Seller Parties. Purchaser specifically waives the provisions of any law of any state, territory or jurisdiction the import of which is as follows:
A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.

(f) Purchaser has full right, power and authority and is duly authorized to enter into this Agreement, to perform each of the covenants on its part to be performed hereunder and to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under all documents required to be executed and delivered by it pursuant to this Agreement.

said five (5) Business Day period, it shall conclusively be deemed to have approved the Seller’s Deliveries. If Purchaser disapproves any of the Seller’s Deliveries, Purchaser’s written notice shall set forth the reasons for such disapproval with respect to each of the Seller’s Deliveries to which Purchaser objects. All Seller’s Deliveries to which Purchaser does not specifically object in such written notice shall conclusively be deemed approved.

Section 8.4 Costs and Prorations.
(a) General. The following listed items allocable to each Property will be adjusted to the payment period that includes the date of Closing and, except as otherwise provided, shall be prorated between the applicable Seller and Purchaser as of 12:01 a.m. on the date on which the Closing occurs in accordance with this Section 8.4 on the basis of the actual
number of days of the month that have elapsed for the month in which the Closing occurs, the actual number of days in such month and a 365 day year; provided, however, that prorations of annual payments will be made based on the number of days of ownership in the applicable annual period and a 365 day year. All such items attributable to the period prior to the Closing Date shall be credited or charged to the applicable Seller, and all such items attributable to the period commencing on the Closing Date shall be credited or charged to Purchaser.
(b) Rents.
(i) Each Seller shall be entitled to all Rents (including, without limitation, Tenant Taxes and Other Charges) under the Leases attributable to any period before the Closing Date once such Rents are actually received. Rents received for the month in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated between the applicable Seller and Purchaser based upon the number of days in such month. Purchaser shall be credited at Closing with: (i) all security or other deposits held by or on behalf of Seller with respect to the Property, in accordance with Section 8.4(c), (ii) any Rents under the Leases received by Seller and applicable to any period after the month in which the Closing occurs, (iii) any interest earned as of the Closing on security deposits or prepaid Rents held by or on behalf of Seller, to the extent that such interest is refundable to the applicable Tenant under the terms of the applicable Lease or applicable law, and (iv) any outstanding rent credit resulting from the Finish Work Reconciliation Statement under the Vertex Lease that remains outstanding (as noted in the Vertex Estoppels) to the extent allocable to the period from and after the Closing.
(ii) In the event that Tenant Taxes and Other Charges are paid based on estimates and reconciled at a later date, such Tenant Taxes and Other Charges actually received prior to Closing shall be prorated at Closing as provided in this Section 8.4(b), and shall be adjusted post-Closing once reconciled as provided in Section 8.4(i).
(iii) Delinquent Rent shall not be accrued or prorated at Closing. Any Delinquent Rent that is paid after the Closing Date shall, subject to the terms below, be paid to the applicable Seller, and if Delinquent Rent is received by Purchaser, Purchaser shall pay the Delinquent Rent to Seller promptly after collection by Purchaser as provided for below.
(iv) Purchaser shall use diligent and good faith efforts to collect any Delinquent Rent after the Closing, provided that Purchaser shall not be required to terminate any Lease or exercise any rights or remedies under any Lease or at law or in equity except in a manner consistent with the rights and remedies Purchaser exercises with respect to its own delinquent Rents accruing after Closing under the applicable Lease. In the event Purchaser commences any action or proceeding against any Tenant and as a result thereof collects any Delinquent Rent which Purchaser is required to remit to Seller, Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and retain a portion of the amount collected which is equal to the reasonable, third party expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with the collection of such Delinquent Rent. Purchaser shall not waive any Delinquent Rent or modify or amend any Lease so as to reduce the Delinquent Rent owed by a Tenant for any period in which Seller is entitled to receive such Delinquent Rent, without first obtaining the applicable Seller’s written consent. Following the Closing, with respect to any claims against any Tenant or other party for sums due with respect to periods prior to the Closing for which Purchaser had or obtained actual knowledge (or was
deemed to have knowledge) at or prior to Closing and for which Purchaser had a right to terminate this Agreement or otherwise not proceed with Closing pursuant to this Agreement on account thereof, Seller shall have the right to pursue such claims; provided, however, that with respect to any legal proceedings against any Tenant, Seller shall be required to notify Purchaser in writing of its intention to commence or pursue such legal proceedings. With respect to any other claims against any Tenant or other party for sums due with respect to periods prior to the Closing, (1) Seller shall not be permitted to make or continue to pursue any such claims directly against such Tenant or other party and (2) Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue such claims on Seller’s behalf, provided that Purchaser shall not be required to terminate any Lease or exercise any rights or remedies under any Lease or at law or in equity except in a manner consistent with the rights and remedies Purchaser exercises with respect to its own delinquent Rents accruing after Closing under the applicable Lease.
(v) All Rents collected after Closing shall be applied as follows: (1) first, to amounts due in the month in which the Closing occurs, (2) second, to amounts due subsequent to the month in which the Closing occurs, and (3) third, to Delinquent Rent, unless such Rents received are specifically earmarked or readily ascertainable to be for a certain period, in which event such Rents shall be applied to such specified periods.
(vi) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 8.4(b)(v), all Rents collected after Closing by Seller in accordance with this Agreement from any Tenant or other party owing sums due with respect to periods prior to the Closing for which Purchaser had or obtained actual knowledge (or was deemed to have knowledge) at or prior to Closing that such amounts were owing and for which Purchaser had a right to terminate this Agreement or otherwise not proceed with Closing pursuant to this Agreement on account thereof, shall be applied as follows: (1) first, to amounts due in the month in which the Closing occurs, (2) second, to Delinquent Rent, and (3) third, to amounts due subsequent to the month in which the Closing occurs, unless such Rents received are specifically earmarked or readily ascertainable to be for a certain period, in which event such Rents shall be applied to such specified periods.
(c) Cash Security Deposits. Purchaser shall be credited at Closing with: (i) all cash security or other deposits held by or on behalf of each Seller with respect to such Seller’s Property (other than any security deposits held in the form of a letter of credit or other non-cash security) and (ii) any interest earned as of the Closing on cash security deposits or prepaid rent held by or on behalf of each Seller, to the extent that such interest is refundable to Tenants under the terms of the applicable Lease or pursuant to applicable law. The cost of transferring any letter of credit or other non-cash security deposits shall be divided evenly between the applicable Seller and Purchaser.
(d) Taxes and Other Charges. All Taxes and Other Charges shall be prorated between the applicable Seller and Purchaser on an accrual basis based upon the actual current tax xxxx or other invoice for such charges, as applicable. If the most recent tax xxxx or invoice received by the applicable Seller before the Closing is not the actual current tax xxxx or invoice, then such Seller and Purchaser shall initially prorate the applicable charge(s) included in Taxes and Other Charges at the Closing (i) by applying 100% of the tax rate for the period covered by the most current available tax xxxx to the latest assessed valuation, in the case of taxes, and (ii) based on the amount shown on such invoice, in the case of other charges, and shall
reprorate such taxes or other charges retroactively when the actual current tax xxxx or invoice is available. All Taxes and Other Charges accruing before the Closing shall be charged to the applicable Seller and all such Taxes and Other Charges accruing on and after the Closing shall be charged to Purchaser. Any refunds of Taxes and Other Charges made after the Closing shall first be applied to any amounts owed to Tenants under the Leases, then to the unreimbursed third party costs incurred by the applicable Seller or Purchaser in obtaining the refund, then shall be paid to the applicable Seller (for the period prior to the Closing) and to Purchaser (for the period commencing on and after the Closing). If any proceeding to determine the assessed value of the Real Property or either of them or the real estate taxes payable with respect to the Real Property or either of them has been commenced before the Effective Date and shall be continuing as of the Closing, Seller shall be authorized to continue to prosecute such proceeding so long as such proceeding shall not adversely affect Purchaser’s tax obligations from and after the Closing Date and Purchaser agrees to cooperate as reasonably requested with Seller and to execute any and all documents reasonably requested by Seller in furtherance of the foregoing.
(e) Lease Expenses. Each Seller shall pay all Seller Lease Expenses with respect to its Property (provided, however, that each Seller may, in its sole discretion, assign such obligation to the applicable Master Tenant at Closing and thereafter Seller shall have no further obligation or liability with respect to such Seller Lease Expenses), and Purchaser shall pay all Purchaser Lease Expenses. Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing in the amount of the Unpaid Seller TA Costs, as specified in the Seller’s TA Costs Certificate. At Closing, Purchaser shall assume each Seller’s obligations to pay, when due (whether on a stated due date or by acceleration), the Unpaid Seller TA Costs, and Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold such Seller harmless from and against any and all claims for the Unpaid Seller TA Costs, which obligations of Purchaser shall survive the Closing; provided, however, with respect to the Unpaid Seller TA Costs, Purchaser’s obligations under this sentence shall be limited to any amounts credited to Purchaser pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. Each Party shall make available to the other all records, bills, vouchers and other data in such Party’s control verifying Lease Expenses and the payment thereof.
(f) Reimbursement for Bond Issuance Costs. Each Seller, Developer or their respective affiliates shall pay any transaction and issuance costs associated with the Bonds (the “Bond Issuance Costs”) whenever incurred or arising except solely those incurred by Purchaser incident to the Additional Bonds (such costs incurred in connection with infrastructure improvements, including without limitation the fees and costs of the Independent Construction Agent, as defined in the IDAA, being paid by Developer as provided in Section 9.4 below). Bond Issuance Costs shall not be accrued or prorated at Closing. The Parties hereby acknowledge that Article 18 of the Vertex Leases provides that Vertex shall be entitled to an increase in the Finish Work Allowance (as defined in the Vertex Leases) equal to an aggregate (for both Vertex Leases) of 100% of the net proceeds (i.e., net of all transaction and issuance costs associated therewith incurred by the landlord thereunder or its affiliates) actually received by such landlord (i.e., from such bond financing) as described in such Article 18. Accordingly, promptly following the issuance of the Initial Bonds and receipt by Purchaser of the proceeds thereof, Purchaser shall pay to Seller, solely as and to the extent Vertex shall have acknowledged and agreed (which acknowledgment and agreement may be provided in the Vertex Estoppel and/or separate written documentation) that the same shall be deducted from the Initial Bond proceeds to arrive at the net proceeds payable to Vertex under Article 18 of the Vertex Leases, an
amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Seller Bond Issuance Costs and (ii) the Bond Issuance Costs actually incurred by Seller in connection with the issuance of the Initial Bonds. In the event Developer incurs any costs in connection with the Additional Bonds, Developer shall so inform Purchaser in advance and promptly following the issuance of the Additional Bonds and receipt by Purchaser of the proceeds thereof, Purchaser shall pay to Seller, solely as and to the extent Vertex shall have acknowledged and agreed (which acknowledgment and agreement may be provided in the Vertex Estoppel and/or separate written documentation) that the same shall be deducted from the Additional Bond proceeds to arrive at the net proceeds payable to Vertex under Article 18 of the Vertex Leases, an amount equal to Developer’s costs so incurred. The provisions of this Section 8.4(f) shall survive the Closing.
(g) Garage REA Net Revenue. Each Seller shall be entitled to all Net Revenue (as such term is defined in the Garage REA) under the Garage REA with respect to its Property attributable to any period before the Closing Date once such Net Revenue is actually received. All such Net Revenue received for the month in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated between the applicable Seller and Purchaser based upon the number of days in such month. From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall use diligent and good faith efforts to collect Net Revenue with respect to each Property that is attributable to any period before the Closing Date, provided that Purchaser shall not be required to exercise any rights or remedies under the Garage REA or at law or in equity except in a manner consistent with the rights and remedies Purchaser exercises with respect to Net Revenue accruing after Closing. In the event Purchaser commences any action or proceeding under the Garage REA and as a result thereof collects any Net Revenue which Purchaser is required to remit to either Seller, Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and retain a portion of the amount collected which is equal to the reasonable, third party expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with the collection of such Net Revenue. Purchaser shall not waive any claims to any Net Revenue which Purchaser is required to remit to either Seller or modify or amend the Garage REA so as to reduce the amount of any Net Revenue for any period in which Seller is entitled to receive such Net Revenue without first obtaining the applicable Seller’s written consent.
(h) Day Care Contribution. As a condition to permitting the Fan Pier Day Care Center (as such term is defined in the Fan Pier Declaration) to be located within its intended location in the retail area of the first (1st) floor of the 50 Northern Improvements, the Parcel A Chapter 91 License requires the owner of the 50 Northern Property to make certain specified contributions to subsidize an identified water transportation facility (collectively, the “Water Transportation Contribution”). No installments of the Water Transportation Contribution made prior to Closing shall be prorated at Closing, but Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing in the amount of One Million One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,150,000) in respect of a portion of the Water Transportation Contribution yet to be funded. At Closing, Purchaser shall assume the obligations to make, when due, the Water Transportation Contribution from and after the Closing Date, and Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all claims with respect thereto, which obligations of Purchaser shall survive the Closing.
(i) Closing Statement. Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate to produce prior to the Closing Date a schedule of prorations and closing costs that is as complete and accurate as reasonably possible (the “Closing Statement”). If any of the aforesaid prorations that are to be
prorated or adjusted at Closing cannot be calculated accurately on the Closing Date, then they shall be estimated to the extent possible as of the Closing and calculated as soon after the Closing Date as is feasible. All adjustments to initial estimated prorations shall be made by the Parties with due diligence and cooperation within sixty (60) days following the Closing, or such later time as may be required to obtain necessary information for proration, by prompt cash payment to the Party yielding a net credit from such prorations from the other Party. So long as the Parties have reasonably cooperated with respect to such adjustments, the provisions of this Section 8.4 shall survive the Closing through the final day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Closing occurs, and after such period neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further rights or obligations under this Section 8.4.
(j) Closing Costs. Purchaser and Seller shall each pay their own legal fees related to the preparation of this Agreement and all documents required to settle the transaction contemplated hereby. Purchaser shall pay (i) all costs associated with its due diligence, including the cost of appraisals, architectural, engineering, credit and environmental reports, (ii) all title insurance premiums and charges and all title examination costs, and (iii) all survey costs. Seller shall pay all documentary stamp taxes owing with respect to the Deeds. Purchaser and Seller shall each pay one-half of the Escrow Agent’s fees for acting as escrow agent. All other customary purchase and sale closing costs shall be paid by Seller or Purchaser in accordance with the custom in the jurisdiction where the Real Property is located.
ARTICLE 9
Construction, Leasing and Other Property Operations
Section 9.1 Seller’s Construction Obligations: Final Completion.
(a) From and after the Effective Date, Seller shall (a) diligently pursue construction of the Base Building Work and the Finish Work to Final Completion substantially in accordance with the applicable Plans and Specifications (except for changes permitted in accordance with this Section 9.1(a)), and in compliance with all restrictions, covenants and easements affecting the Property, all applicable Legal Requirements and all Governmental Approvals, and (b) pay all sums and perform such duties as may be necessary to complete such construction of the Improvements substantially in accordance with the Plans and Specifications (except for changes permitted in accordance with this Section 9.1(a)) and in compliance with all restrictions, covenants and easements affecting the Property, all Legal Requirements and all Governmental Approvals, it being understood and agreed by Purchaser that Seller’s obligations under this Section 9.1(a) are dependent on (i) Vertex’s obligations under the Vertex Leases to pay 11 Fan Pier Excess Costs, 50 Northern Excess Costs, 11 Fan Pier Finish Work Change costs and 50 Northern Finish Work Change costs and (ii) such amounts being made available to Seller for such purposes. The foregoing shall be accomplished, subject to Permitted Exceptions, free from any liens, claims or assessments (actual or contingent) asserted against the Property for any material, labor or other items furnished in connection therewith unless fully bonded, insured or otherwise secured to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser and discharged of record. Seller shall permit no deviations from the applicable Plans and Specifications for the Base Building Work and the Finish Work during construction without the prior written approval of Purchaser, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however,
that each Seller may make changes without Purchaser’s prior approval so long as (1) such changes are (i) “bid and award” Change Orders within the existing scope of work of the applicable General Contractor’s Agreement, (ii) Change Orders which are required or permitted to be made pursuant to the Vertex Leases, (iii) any other Change Orders which do not exceed, individually, One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) or (iv) non-material field changes that do not affect the scope of the Improvements, (2) such changes will not violate the terms of either of the Vertex Leases and (3) the applicable Seller uses reasonable efforts to provide Purchaser with copies of all such Change Orders entered into with respect to the Improvements within five (5) days after the same are executed.
(b) From and after the Effective Date, Seller shall diligently pursue construction of the Required Off-Site Improvements (including, without limitation, the Water Related Improvements) to Final Completion substantially in accordance with the requirements of the 11 Fan Pier Deed and the 50 Northern Deed, in each case in compliance with all restrictions, covenants and easements affecting the Fan Pier Project, all applicable Legal Requirements and all Governmental Approvals. Seller shall permit no deviations from the applicable Plans and Specifications for the Required Off-Site Improvements during construction without the prior written approval of Purchaser, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
Section 9.2 Leasing.
(a) From and after the Effective Date, Seller shall not enter into any new Lease Transaction without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which may be granted or withheld in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.2(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be required to obtain Purchaser’s consent (1) to (i) enter into any modification, renewal or extension of any of the Leases, or (ii) grant any consent or approval under any of the Leases (including, without limitation, any consents or approvals requested by Vertex under Schedule 10.01 of the applicable Vertex Lease), in each case to the extent that (A) such consents or approvals are approvals of plans or specifications with respect to the buildout of the applicable leased premises, (B) such consents or approvals do not create additional obligations on Purchaser or risk of liability that will not be the responsibility of the applicable Master Tenant following Closing or (C) the same is required or permitted pursuant to the applicable terms of the relevant Lease and the applicable Lease does not call for any discretionary action on the part of Seller with respect thereto, or (2) to enter into any or all of the Boat Building Lease, the Cafeteria Lease or the Starbucks Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any matter with respect to which, under the applicable Lease, Seller may not unreasonably withhold its consent or approval, Purchaser shall be bound by the same standard. The review and approval process for any proposed new lease for space in the Improvements other than the Boat Building Lease, the Cafeteria Lease or the Starbucks Lease shall be as set forth in the applicable form of 11 Fan Pier Master Lease or form of 50 Northern Master Lease attached to this Agreement as Schedules 9.2(c)-1 and 9.2(c)-2, respectively, as if (i) such form of master lease were in effect at the time of such review and approval and (ii) such proposed lease constituted a Space Lease (as such term is defined in the applicable form of Master Lease) under the applicable form of Master Lease.
(b) From and after the Effective Date, Seller shall not enter into any (i) new service, management, leasing brokerage or any other contracts for the Property or (ii) modifications, renewals or terminations of any contracts, in either case that would be binding on Purchaser after Closing, without the written consent of Purchaser, which consent may be granted or withheld in Purchaser’s sole discretion. If Purchaser does not notify Seller in writing of its consent or disapproval within three (3) Business Days after notice thereof from Seller, Purchaser shall be deemed to have consented to such requested action. If Purchaser disapproves any such request, then Purchaser’s written notice shall specify the reasons for such disapproval.
(c) At Closing, (i) Purchaser, as landlord, shall enter into a master lease substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule 9.2(c)-1 with 11 Fan Pier Master Tenant, as tenant, for the 11 Fan Pier Master Leased Premises (the “11 Fan Pier Master Lease”) and (ii) Purchaser, as landlord, shall enter into a master lease substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule 9.2(c)-2 with 50 Northern Master Tenant, as tenant, for the 50 Northern Master Leased Premises (the “50 Northern Master Lease”).
Section 9.3 Operation of the Property.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in or restricted by this Article 9, each Seller shall at all times prior to Closing (i) continue to conduct business with respect to its Property in the ordinary course of its business substantially in the same manner in which said business has been heretofore conducted, including, without limitation, pursuing the issuance of the Initial Bonds, (ii) perform its obligations under the Leases and any contracts or other agreements affecting its Property (including, without limitation, the Construction Agreements, the Contracts and the Permitted Exceptions), (iii) comply, in all material respects, with all applicable Legal Requirements, (iv) continue to insure its Property substantially as it is currently insured and (v) not take any action that would cause any of its Seller Representations to become inaccurate in any material respect or any of the covenants of such Seller to be materially breached. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller shall pay all accounts payable, and any debts or obligations owed by Seller relating to its Property when due (“when due,” “coming due” or like words means the time for payment set forth in any contract, or if no time is set forth then within thirty days (30) of the date when an invoice for payment is received by Seller).
(b) Purchaser hereby acknowledges that Seller has certain rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, with respect to the Construction Agreements) that will continue after Closing, and agrees that Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with Seller after Closing in connection with Seller’s performance of its obligations, exercise of its rights and otherwise with respect to such continuing rights and obligations, all at no out-of-pocket cost to Purchaser (unless such cost is reimbursed to Purchaser). Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any deposits or other sums that Seller or its affiliates have deposited or otherwise paid with respect to any Construction Agreements shall, to the extent returned under such Construction Agreement (whether prior to or following Closing), be retained by the applicable Seller, and Purchaser shall have no rights thereto.
(c) Purchaser hereby acknowledges that the owners of the 11 Fan Pier Property and 50 Northern Property, respectively, each have rights to vote and approve certain
matters under the Fan Pier Declaration and the bylaws of FPOC (including, without limitation, amendments thereto) (“Declaration Voting and Approval Rights”), and further acknowledges that there remain certain undeveloped portions of the Fan Pier Project that will be developed by Developer or its affiliates after Closing. Accordingly, Purchaser hereby agrees that it shall (i) subject to the immediately following sentence, delegate its Declaration Voting and Approval Rights with respect to each Property to the Developer for a period from the Closing Date until the Declaration Delegation Expiration by delivering to Developer at Closing a written delegation and proxy in the form attached as Schedule 9.3(c) (the “Declaration Delegation”), which Developer may, at its option, record with the Registry, and (ii) promptly confirm the foregoing Declaration Delegation and take or cause to be taken such additional action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) in furtherance of the foregoing as Developer may reasonably request from time to time, all without further consideration but at no out-of-pocket cost to Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 9.3(c) to the contrary, Declaration Voting and Approval Rights with respect to matters that (A) exclusively affect the 11 Fan Pier Property or the 50 Northern Property, or (B) are proposed by the owner of the 11 Fan Pier Property or the owner of the 50 Northern Property so long as such matters do not Adversely Affect (as such term is defined in the Fan Pier Declaration) the other Parcels (as such term is defined in the Fan Pier Declaration), are excluded from the Declaration Voting and Approval Rights to be delegated to Developer pursuant to the Declaration Delegation. Purchaser hereby grants to Developer a power of attorney (which shall be irrevocable until the expiration or earlier termination of this Section 9.3(c)), which power of attorney shall be coupled with an interest, and hereby appoints Developer and its designees as Purchaser’s attorney-in-fact to take any and all actions necessary or appropriate to confirm the Declaration Delegation or take or cause to be taken any such additional action in furtherance of the foregoing as Developer may reasonably determine if Purchaser fails to take such actions within five (5) Business Days after a written request from Developer.
Developer hereby agrees that it will exercise such Declaration Voting and Approval Rights as follows:
(1) To the extent that Seller has agreed to exercise their respective Declaration Voting and Approval Rights in certain ways under the applicable Vertex Leases as in effect on the Closing Date, Developer shall exercise the Declaration Voting and Approval Rights with respect to each Property in a manner that would comply with any provisions of such applicable Vertex Lease related to the exercise of such voting and approval rights.
(2) With respect to all other matters, Developer shall exercise the Declaration Voting and Approval Rights at its discretion, except that Developer shall not exercise such Declaration Voting and Approval Rights in a manner that would Adversely Affect (as such term is defined in the Fan Pier Declaration) the applicable Property.
(3) Prior to exercising any delegated Declaration Voting and Approval Rights, Developer shall provide Purchaser with written notice specifying the matter upon which Developer proposes to act and Developer’s proposed action. Purchaser shall review such notice and shall make a good faith determination regarding whether the taking of such action would violate Sections 9.3(c)(1) or (2). If Purchaser determines in good faith that such action would violate either Sections 9.3(c)(1) or (2), then Purchaser may dispute such proposed action by
delivering written notice specifying its good faith objections to Developer within five (5) Business Days following delivery to Purchaser of Developer’s written notice of its proposed action. If Purchaser fails to give an objection notice on or before the end of such five (5) Business Days, it shall conclusively be deemed to have determined that the action(s) specified in such notice do not violate Sections 9.3(c)(1) or (2).
In the event that Purchaser delivers an objection notice within such five (5) Business Day period, the Developer and Purchaser shall meet promptly after Developer’s receipt of such notice and work together diligently and in good faith to resolve Purchaser’s objections. If the parties are unable to resolve their dispute within five (5) Business Days after Developer’s receipt of Purchaser’s notice, then the matter shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the following provisions:
(i) The parties shall direct the Boston office of the American Arbitration Association to appoint an arbitrator who shall have a minimum of ten (10) years’ experience in commercial real estate disputes and who shall not be affiliated with either Developer or Purchaser and has not worked for either party or its affiliates at any time during the prior five (5) years. Both Developer and Purchaser shall have the opportunity to present evidence and outside consultants to the arbitrator.
(ii) The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the expedited commercial arbitration rules of the AAA insofar as such rules are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement (in which case the provisions of this Agreement shall govern). The cost of the arbitration (exclusive of each party’s witness and attorneys’ fees, which shall be paid by such party) shall be borne equally by Purchaser and Developer. Any such arbitration shall be commenced within fifteen (15) days after Developer’s receipt of Purchaser’s notice specifying its good faith objections (or, if later, appointment of the arbitrator).
(iii) Within ten (10) days after appointment, the arbitrator shall determine whether or not Developer’s proposed action would violate Sections 9.3(c)(1) or (2). The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on the Developer and Purchaser. If the arbitrator determines that such proposed action would not violate Sections 9.3(c)(1) or (2), then Developer shall be permitted to immediately take its proposed action in accordance with this Agreement. If the arbitrator determines that such action would violate Sections 9.3(c)(1) or (2), then Developer shall not take such action without Purchaser’s prior written consent.
Any person dealing with Developer may always rely without further inquiry on a certificate signed by Developer as to the authority of Developer to act, as to the existence or nonexistence of any fact or facts which constitute conditions precedent to action by Developer under, or which are in any other manner germane to, the Declaration Delegation or the Delegation Voting and Approval Rights covered by the Declaration Delegation. Execution, delivery or recording of any such certificate shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action or transaction of Developer with respect to the Declaration Delegation.
The provisions of this Section 9.3(c) shall survive the Closing until the Declaration Delegation Expiration.
(d) Purchaser hereby further acknowledges that the owners of the 11 Fan Pier Property and 50 Northern Property, respectively, each have rights to vote and approve certain matters under the Garage REA (including, without limitation, amendments thereto) (“Garage REA Voting and Approval Rights”), and further acknowledges that there remain certain undeveloped portions of the Fan Pier Project that will be developed by Developer or its affiliates at certain times after Closing. Accordingly, Purchaser hereby agrees that it shall (i) partially delegate its Garage REA Voting and Approval Rights with respect to each Property to the Developer for a period from the Closing Date until the earliest to occur of (1) completion of the Unified Garage (as such term is defined in the Garage REA), (2) November 21, 2029 and (3) the occurrence of any willful breach with respect to the Garage REA Delegation (for purposes of the foregoing, the term “willful breach” means any exercise or attempted exercise of the Garage REA Voting and Approval Rights contrary to or inconsistent with either or both of Sections 9.3(d)(1) or (2) or any other breach of any provision of the Garage REA Delegation, unless in each case made by Developer in the good faith belief, on the basis of advice of counsel, that the same was not so contrary or inconsistent or otherwise in breach of the Garage REA Delegation), by delivering to Developer at Closing a written delegation and proxy in the form attached as Schedule 9.3(d) (the “Garage REA Delegation”), which Developer may, at its option, record with the Registry, and (ii) promptly confirm the foregoing Garage REA Delegation and take or cause to be taken such additional action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) in furtherance of the foregoing as Developer may reasonably request from time to time, all without further consideration but at no out-of-pocket cost to Purchaser. Purchaser hereby grants to Developer a power of attorney (which shall be irrevocable until the expiration or earlier termination of this Section 9.3(d)), which power of attorney shall be coupled with an interest, and hereby appoints Developer and its designees as Purchaser’s attorney-in-fact to take any and all actions necessary or appropriate to confirm the Garage REA Delegation or take or cause to be taken any such additional action in furtherance of the foregoing as Developer may reasonably determine if Purchaser fails to take such actions within five (5) Business Days after a written request from Developer.
The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that:
(1) The Garage REA Voting and Approval Rights to be delegated to Developer pursuant to the Garage REA Delegation shall be limited to (i) the selection of the Garage Operator (as such term is defined in the Garage REA) under Section 7.7 of the Garage REA, (ii) approval of New Garage Plans (as such term is defined in the Garage REA) under Section 8.1 of the Garage REA, and (iii) the amendment of the Garage REA (including Exhibit D thereof) to reallocate owned, beneficially owned or controlled spaces among Project Garages, provided, in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) above, any exercise of such Garage REA Voting and Approval Rights shall not reduce the number of parking spaces owned, beneficially owned or controlled by the owners of the 50 Northern Property or the 11 Fan Pier Property or otherwise adversely affect the owners of the 50 Northern Property or the 11 Fan Pier Property in any material respect, and further provided that the amendment of the Garage REA (including Exhibit D thereof) to reallocate owned, beneficially owned or controlled spaces among the Project Garages located at the 50 Northern Property and the 11 Fan Pier Property is excluded from the Garage REA Voting and Approval Rights to be delegated and the Garage REA Delegation. Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that the exercise of the Garage REA Voting and Approval Rights by Developer in its discretion to approve New Garage Plans under Section 8.1
of the Garage REA shall in no event be deemed to adversely affect the owners of the 50 Northern Property or the 11 Fan Pier Property in any material respect to the extent the new Project Garage (as such term is defined in the Garage REA) contemplated by such New Garage Plans is designed, as shown in such New Garage Plans, to utilize materials and systems comparable to the Project Garages then constituting the Unified Garage (as such term is defined in the Garage REA). In addition, and without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser acknowledges that Developer may approve New Garage Plans under which (x) spaces and capacity are to be added to the Unified Garage, as contemplated by the Garage REA by reason of the construction and interconnection of each Future Connected Garage (as defined in the Garage REA), (y) all or certain portions of the Unified Garage dedicated to Residential Spaces (as such term is defined in the Garage REA) may be physically segregated using access control measures and/or (z) separate ramps for portions of the Unified Garage owned by the owners of Parcels C, D and E (as such parcels are identified within the Fan Pier Master Plan) may not be constructed, and that in no such case shall Developer’s exercise of the Garage REA Voting and Approval Rights be deemed to adversely affect the owners of the 50 Northern Property or the 11 Fan Pier Property in any material respect by reason of (x), (y) or (z) above.
(2) Developer shall exercise its delegated Garage REA Voting and Approval Rights with respect to each Property at its discretion but subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.3(d)(1), provided that, to the extent Seller has agreed to exercise their respective Garage REA Voting and Approval Rights in certain ways under the applicable Vertex Leases as in effect on the Closing Date, Developer shall exercise such Garage REA Voting and Approval Rights with respect to each Property in a manner that would comply with any provisions of such applicable Vertex Lease related to the exercise of such voting and approval rights.
(3) Prior to exercising any delegated Garage REA Voting and Approval Rights, Developer shall provide Purchaser with written notice specifying the matter upon which Developer proposes to act and Developer’s proposed action. Purchaser shall review such notice and shall make a good faith determination regarding whether the taking of such action would violate Sections 9.3(d)(1) or (2). If Purchaser determines in good faith that such action would violate either Sections 9.3(d)(1) or (2), then Purchaser may dispute such proposed action by delivering written notice specifying its good faith objections to Developer within five (5) Business Days following delivery to Purchaser of Developer’s written notice of its proposed action. If Purchaser fails to give an objection notice on or before the end of such five (5) Business Days, it shall conclusively be deemed to have determined that the action(s) specified in such notice do not violate Sections 9.3(d)(1) or (2).
In the event that Purchaser delivers an objection notice within such five (5) Business Day period, the Developer and Purchaser shall meet promptly after Developer’s receipt of such notice and work together diligently and in good faith to resolve Purchaser’s objections. If the parties are unable to resolve their dispute within five (5) Business Days after Developer’s receipt of Purchaser’s notice, then the matter shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the following provisions:
(i) The parties shall direct the Boston office of the American Arbitration Association to appoint an arbitrator who shall have a minimum of ten (10) years’ experience in commercial real estate disputes and who shall not be affiliated with either
Developer or Purchaser and has not worked for either party or its affiliates at any time during the prior five (5) years. Both Developer and Purchaser shall have the opportunity to present evidence and outside consultants to the arbitrator.
(ii) The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the expedited commercial arbitration rules of the AAA insofar as such rules are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement (in which case the provisions of this Agreement shall govern). The cost of the arbitration (exclusive of each party’s witness and attorneys’ fees, which shall be paid by such party) shall be borne equally by Purchaser and Developer. Any such arbitration shall be commenced within fifteen (15) days after Developer’s receipt of Purchaser’s notice specifying its good faith objections (or, if later, appointment of the arbitrator).
(iii) Within ten (10) days after appointment, the arbitrator shall determine whether or not Developer’s proposed action would violate Sections 9.3(d)(1) or (2). The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on the Developer and Purchaser. If the arbitrator determines that such proposed action would not violate Sections 9.3(d)(1) or (2), then Developer shall be permitted to immediately take its proposed action in accordance with this Agreement. If the arbitrator determines that such action would violate Sections 9.3(d)(1) or (2), then Developer shall not take such action without Purchaser’s prior written consent.
Any person dealing with Developer may always rely without further inquiry on a certificate signed by Developer as to the authority of Developer to act, as to the existence or nonexistence of any fact or facts which constitute conditions precedent to action by Developer under, or which are in any other manner germane to, the Garage REA Delegation or the Garage REA Voting and Approval Rights covered by the Garage REA Delegation. Execution, delivery or recording of any such certificate shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action or transaction of Developer with respect to the Garage REA Delegation.
The provisions of this Section 9.3(d) shall survive the Closing until the Garage REA Delegation shall expire by its terms.
(e) Purchaser and Seller acknowledge the requirements of the IDAA and Section 18.01 of the Vertex Leases with respect to the issuance of the Bonds. Capitalized terms used in this Section 9.3(e) and not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the IDAA.
In addition to its representations with respect to the IDAA as a Required Contract, Seller represents and warrants that the IDAA is in full force and effect, that Seller has fully complied with all of its material obligations thereunder as of the Effective Date, that Purchaser has been provided with true, correct and complete copies of Seller’s and Developer’s submission to the Secretary of Administration and Finance and the Massachusetts Development Finance Agency dated as of January 6, 2014 (the “January 6 Submittal”), that the other documents related to the IDAA or the prospective issuance of the Bonds included in the Due Diligence Materials are true, correct and complete copies thereof in all material respects, and that as of the Effective Date Seller is not aware of any material prospect that the Initial Bonds will not be issued due to a failure of any condition to such issuance under Section 2.01(d) of the IDAA on the part of Seller or any intention of any other applicable party not to cause any other condition to be satisfied.
Seller shall use diligent efforts to pursue, in cooperation with Developer, the issuance of the Initial Bonds in accordance with the IDAA, shall keep Purchaser reasonably informed as to the progress thereof, and shall share with Purchaser all material correspondence, document drafts and comments, and other information material to the issuance of the Initial Bonds and the schedule therefor, including without limitation in connection with the January 6 Submittal and all further submittals to be made. In addition, to the extent that Seller receives any proceeds of the Bonds (other than in reimbursement, from Purchaser or at Purchaser’s direction, of Bond Issuance Costs pursuant to Section 8.4(f) above), Seller shall promptly remit such proceeds to Purchaser. Seller shall not by its acts or omissions cause there to occur a breach of any obligations of the landlord under Section 18.01(a), (b) or (g) of the Vertex Leases.
Purchaser hereby acknowledges that the owners of the 11 Fan Pier Property and 50 Northern Property, respectively, each have, with respect to the Initial Bonds, (i) certain obligations under Sections 2.01(d)(vii), 2.02(a)(vi) and 4.06 of the IDAA to fund a Municipal Liquidity Reserve in the amount applicable to the Initial Bonds and/or the Additional Bonds (the amount to be funded for the Initial Bonds, or the amount to be funded by Seller as provided below in connection with the Additional Bonds, if applicable, the “Initial Bonds MLR Funds”) and, if funded in the form of posting letter(s) of credit, to deposit extensions of expiring letter(s) of credit with respect thereto and (ii) certain rights under Section 4.06 of the IDAA with respect to the Municipal Liquidity Reserve (such rights with respect to the Initial Bonds MLR Funds, if funded by Seller for the Initial Bonds, or with respect to the portion thereof funded by Seller in the case of the Additional Bonds as provided below, the “Initial Bonds MLR Rights”), including, without limitation, the right to the return of the Initial Bonds MLR Funds in the manner contemplated therein. Purchaser hereby further acknowledges that Seller is attempting to obtain the confirmation of the Commissioner of the Department of Revenue of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts pursuant to Section 4.02(e) of the IDAA that (A) no Municipal Liquidity Reserve will be required in connection with the Initial Bonds, (B) the Additional Bonds remain available despite the lack of a Municipal Liquidity Reserve in connection with the Initial Bonds, and (C) that no Municipal Liquidity Reserve will be required in connection with the Additional Bonds unless the cumulative New State Tax Revenues determined by the Commissioner in connection with issuance of the Additional Bonds as described in Section 4.02(e) of the IDAA does not equal or exceed an amount equal to the principal amount of the Initial Bonds and the Additional Bonds plus an amount equal to all interest accrued on the Bonds to the date of determination, in which event the amount of the required Municipal Liquidity Reserve shall not exceed twice the maximum annual Debt Service payable in any Fiscal Year on the Additional Bonds. Seller shall use diligent efforts to obtain such confirmation from and after the Effective Date. In the event that Seller is unable to obtain such confirmation, or in any event if (despite any such confirmation) any Municipal Liquidity Reserve is nonetheless required by the City, The Commonwealth and Secretary or the Agency or their representatives engaged in issuance of any Bonds (x) for issuance of the Initial Bonds or (y) for future issuance of Additional Bonds, Seller and Purchaser have agreed that Seller shall always be responsible to fund the Municipal Liquidity Reserve with respect to the Initial Bonds and the obligation to fund the Municipal Liquidity Reserve arising with respect to any Additional Bonds shall be allocated to Purchaser to the extent on account of the debt service for the Additional Bonds (i.e., equal to twice the maximum annual Debt Service payable in any Fiscal Year on the Additional Bonds) and to Seller to the extent of the Initial Bonds MLR Funds, which are on account of the debt service for the Initial Bonds (i.e., equal to twice the maximum annual Debt Service payable in any Fiscal
Year on the Initial Bonds), even if the Municipal Liquidity Reserve was not required initially for issuance of the Initial Bonds and the requirement arises in connection with the issuance of the Additional Bonds. Such funding by Seller of the Initial Bonds MLR Funds shall be for the account of Purchaser to the extent required as transferee under Section 4.06(b) of the IDAA and Seller shall waive the requirement that the City return any letter of credit or distribute any cash to Seller by reason of such transfer, provided that nothing herein shall waive Seller’s right to the ultimate return of such letter(s) of credit and distribution of such cash to Developer as Seller’s designee upon release under Section 4.06(f) of the IDAA of any Municipal Liquidity Reserve so posted by Seller. Seller shall in all events continue to be entitled to attempt to obtain approval of the necessary parties under the IDAA to eliminate the Municipal Liquidity Reserve required in connection with the Initial Bonds, reduce the amount of the required Initial Bonds MLR Funds from time to time and/or eliminate or limit the Municipal Liquidity Reserve required in connection with the Additional Bonds consistent with clauses (B) and (C) above, and Purchaser shall promptly sign such consents and authorizations and otherwise cooperate with Seller, at no out-of-pocket cost to Purchaser (unless such cost is reimbursed to Purchaser), as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith, provided that under no circumstances may the Municipal Liquidity Reserve with respect to the Initial Bonds be reduced or returned at the expense of increasing the amount of any Municipal Liquidity Reserve with respect to the Additional Bonds or any other obligations or liabilities of Purchaser. Accordingly:
(i) Each Seller, with respect to its Property, hereby agrees to fund the Initial Bonds MLR Funds, if any, to the extent required to permit the issuance of the Initial Bonds or the Additional Bonds to the extent allocated to Seller as set forth above, and to take such further action on behalf of the owners of the 11 Fan Pier Property and 50 Northern Property, respectively, with respect thereto as may be required pursuant to Section 4.06(c) of the IDAA. In connection therewith, Purchaser hereby agrees that it shall (1) delegate its Initial Bonds MLR Rights (which Initial Bonds MLR Rights, for the avoidance of doubt, arise only if and when any Initial Bonds MLR Funds are funded by Seller as contemplated by this Section 9.3(e)) with respect to each Property to the Developer for a period from the Closing Date until such time as all contributions made by Seller or Developer with respect to the Initial Bonds MLR Funds shall have been fully returned to Developer, as Seller’s designee, by delivering to Developer at Closing, a written delegation and proxy in the form attached as Schedule 9.3(e) (the “IDAA Delegation”), which Developer may, at its option, record with the Registry, and (2) promptly confirm the foregoing IDAA Delegation and take or cause to be taken such additional action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) in furtherance of the foregoing as Developer may reasonably request from time to time, all without further consideration but at no out-of-pocket cost to Purchaser. Purchaser hereby grants to Developer a power of attorney (which shall be irrevocable until the expiration or earlier termination of this Section 9.3(c)), which power of attorney shall be coupled with an interest, and hereby appoints Developer and its designees as Purchaser’s attorney-in-fact to take any and all actions necessary or appropriate to confirm the IDAA Delegation or take or cause to be taken any such additional action in furtherance of the foregoing as Developer may reasonably determine if Purchaser fails to take such actions within five (5) Business Days after a written request from Developer. If Seller funds the Initial Bonds MLR Funds, then as part of the Initial Bonds MLR Rights, Developer shall have the right, on behalf of Purchaser, to pursue claims against any party to the IDAA or any of the documents contemplated therein with respect to the Initial Bonds MLR Funds and the Initial Bonds MLR Rights provided such pursuit shall be
conducted in a manner that will not reduce or otherwise adversely affect any Municipal Liquidity Reserve funded by Purchaser in connection with the Additional Bonds or any rights of Purchaser in connection therewith, or adversely affect Purchaser with respect to any of its other rights, obligations or liabilities under the IDAA. Purchaser shall promptly sign such consents and authorizations and otherwise cooperate with Developer in pursuit of such claims as may be reasonably requested, provided that under no circumstances may the Municipal Liquidity Reserve with respect to the Initial Bonds be reduced or returned at the expense of increasing the amount of any Municipal Liquidity Reserve with respect to the Additional Bonds or any other obligations or liabilities of Purchaser.
(ii) Following the Closing, if Seller funds any Initial Bonds MLR Funds, then so long as the Initial Bonds MLR Funds funded by Seller are outstanding, Purchaser shall do as follows:
(1) Without limiting the provisions of Section 9.3(e)(i), Purchaser shall not, without in each case obtaining Developer’s prior written consent, (A) waive any rights it may have with respect to the Initial Bonds MLR Funds or Initial Bonds MLR Rights in a manner that would reduce or otherwise adversely affect the Initial Bonds MLR Funds or Initial Bonds MLR Rights or (B) modify or amend (or consent to the modification or amendment of) the IDAA or any of the documents contemplated therein in a manner that would reduce or otherwise adversely affect the Initial Bonds MLR Funds or Initial Bonds MLR Rights.
(2) Purchaser shall pay all Infrastructure Assessments (as such term is defined in the IDAA) on the Property (or any portion thereof), if any, as and when required. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Developer harmless from any and all demands, claims, causes of action, losses, damages, costs or expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Developer to the extent arising from Purchaser’s failure to pay any Infrastructure Assessment as and when required.
(3) Upon receiving any notice under the IDAA or any of the documents contemplated therein with respect to or that may have an effect on (i) the Initial Bonds MLR Funds, (ii) the Initial Bonds MLR Rights or (iii) any Infrastructure Assessment in connection with the Initial Bonds, Purchaser shall promptly provide Developer with a copy of such notice. Purchaser shall cooperate with Developer, at no out-of-pocket cost to Purchaser (unless such cost is reimbursed to Purchaser), in connection with Developer’s exercise of the Initial Bonds MLR Rights, including, without limitation, permitting Developer to communicate directly with any party to the IDAA or any of the documents contemplated therein, provided that under no circumstances may the Municipal Liquidity Reserve with respect to the Initial Bonds be reduced or returned at the expense of increasing the amount of any Municipal Liquidity Reserve with respect to the Additional Bonds or any other obligations or liabilities of Purchaser.
Seller’s Bond Issuance Costs shall be recoverable only as set forth in Section 8.4(f).
Purchaser and Seller intend that the IDAA Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered at Closing under Section 6.1(r) comply fully with the requirements of Section 7.07(c) of the IDAA to be effective as an assignment of the IDAA in the event of a sale or transfer of an Assessment Parcel without the consent of the Commonwealth and the City, and to that end (i)
have provided in this Section 9.3(e) for the funding of the Municipal Liquidity Reserve on Purchaser’s behalf (to the extent such Municipal Liquidity Reserve is required) in order for Purchaser to have complied with its obligations under Section 4.06(b) with respect to any then-applicable Municipal Liquidity Reserve, and (ii) have provided in the IDAA Assignment and Assumption Agreement for the assumption by Purchaser of Seller’s obligations under the IDAA arising from and after Closing, as is customary for purchasers’ assumptions of sellers’ obligations in commercial real estate purchase and sale transactions. In the event that at any time it shall be necessary (or Purchaser shall deem it appropriate) to also assume Seller’s obligations under the IDAA that arose prior to the Closing (the “Prior IDAA Obligations”) in order for such assignment to be so effective without such consent under the terms of Section 7.07(c) of the IDAA, then at Purchaser’s request Seller shall promptly execute and deliver a further assignment and assumption agreement to accomplish the same, in such form as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser, and otherwise cooperate with Purchaser as may be reasonably requested in connection with causing the assignment of the IDAA intended hereby to be effective, and in such event Seller shall, and hereby agrees to, indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from any and all of the Prior IDAA Obligations and all demands, claims, causes of action, losses, damages, costs or expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Purchaser arising from the Prior IDAA Obligations.
The provisions of this Section 9.3(e) shall survive the Closing.
(f) Purchaser hereby acknowledges that although Seller holds rights under the Garage REA to a sufficient number of spaces to accommodate the Vertex Leases, the Boat Building Lease and the Bright Horizons Lease, Exhibit D to the Garage REA needs to be amended to reflect the transfer of (i) one (1) Controlled Space (as defined in the Garage REA) from Parcel B Owner (as defined in the Garage REA) to Parcel A Owner (as defined in the Garage REA) and (ii) two (2) Controlled Spaces from Parcel C Owner and/or Parcel F Owner to Parcel B Owner upon the earlier to occur of (A) the expiration or earlier termination of that certain lease dated as of September 10, 2009, between Parcel F Owner and Fish & Xxxxxxxxxx P.C. and (B) the expiration or earlier termination of the Vertex 50 Northern Lease (collectively, the “Controlled Space Transfers”). Seller shall (1) deliver to Purchaser as soon as practicable following Closing an amendment to the Garage REA (in six (6) counterparts) substantially in the form of the First Amendment to Garage REA with an updated Exhibit D to the Garage REA reflecting the Controlled Space Transfers that has been executed and acknowledged by each Owner (as defined in the Garage REA) other than Parcel A Owner and Parcel B Owner and, promptly following its receipt from Purchaser of four (4) fully-executed and acknowledged counterparts of such amendment that have been signed by Parcel A Owner and Parcel B Owner, shall have such amendment recorded with the Registry, and (2) Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from any and all demands, claims, causes of action, losses, damages, costs or expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Purchaser to the extent arising from the failure of the Garage REA to evidence the Controlled Space Transfers. The provisions of this Section 9.3(f) shall survive the Closing.
(g) Purchaser hereby acknowledges that the 50 Northern Flammable Storage License and the 11 Fan Pier Flammable Storage License each needs to be amended to reflect the installation of the so-called “day tanks” located on the roof of each of the Improvements as of the Effective Date. From and after the Effective Date, Seller shall diligently apply for and seek such
amendments from the City of Boston Public Safety Commission Committee on Licenses. From and after the Closing, Purchaser, shall sign such consents and authorizations and otherwise cooperate with Seller, at no out-of-pocket cost to Purchaser (unless such cost is reimbursed to Purchaser), as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith. Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from any and all demands, claims, causes of action, losses, damages, costs or expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Purchaser to the extent arising from the failure of the 50 Northern Flammable Storage License or the 11 Fan Pier Flammable Storage License to reflect said day tanks. The provisions of this Section 9.3(g) shall survive the Closing.
Section 9.4 Developer’s Covenants. Developer hereby joins in this Agreement for the limited purpose of agreeing as set forth in this Section 9.4. Capitalized terms used in this Section 9.4 and not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the IDAA.
(a) Developer makes the same representations and warranties as are provided in Sections 7.3(b)(iv) and 7.4(b)(iv) with respect to the IDAA as a Required Contract, and further represents and warrants that the IDAA is in full force and effect, that Developer has fully complied with all of its material obligations thereunder as of the Effective Date and that as of the Effective Date Developer is not aware of any material prospect that the Initial Bonds will not be issued due to a failure of any condition to such issuance under Section 2.01(d) of the IDAA on the part of Developer or any intention of any other applicable party not to cause any other condition to be satisfied.
(b) Developer shall use diligent efforts to pursue, in cooperation with Seller, the issuance of the Initial Bonds in accordance with the IDAA, shall keep Purchaser reasonably informed as to the progress thereof, and shall share with Purchaser all material correspondence, document drafts and comments, and other information material to the issuance of the Initial Bonds and the schedule therefor, including without limitation in connection with the January 6 Submittal and all further submittals to be made. In addition, to the extent that Developer receives any proceeds of the Bonds (other than in reimbursement, from Purchaser or at Purchaser’s direction, of Bond Issuance Costs pursuant to Section 8.4(f) above), Developer shall promptly remit such proceeds to Purchaser. Developer shall not by its acts or omissions cause there to occur a breach of any obligations of the landlord under Section 18.01(a), (b) or (g) of the Vertex Leases.
(c) The Developer has granted and the City of Boston and the Boston Redevelopment Authority, respectively, have accepted the applicable I-Cubed Easements. In connection therewith, the Developer hereby agrees to enter into a memorandum of agreement with the Massachusetts Development Finance Agency or such other agreement or certificate as may be agreed by the Developer and the Massachusetts Development Finance Agency with respect to the exercise of certain of its rights as grantor under the I-Cubed Easements to the extent necessary to ensure that the Initial Bonds and any Additional Bonds may be issued on a tax-exempt basis. The form and substance of any such memorandum of agreement or other agreement or certificate shall be as agreed by the Massachusetts Development Finance Agency and the Developer, and Purchaser shall have no approval or consent rights with respect thereto provided that nothing therein shall be binding upon or adversely affect Purchaser (except by
virtue of its status as a Parcel Owner under the Declaration, as and to the same or proportional extent as all other Parcel Owners) or the Property (except by virtue of the Property’s status as a Parcel under the Declaration, as and to the same or proportional extent as all other Parcels) or adversely affect Purchaser’s ability to perform its obligations as landlord under the Vertex Leases.

Upon the completion of such Additional Bond Public Infrastructure Improvements, Developer will (i) provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser of such completion, (ii) tender to the City of Boston or another Governmental Authority (as such term is defined in the IDAA) the easement(s) for public access in the portion of such Additional Bond Public Infrastructure Improvements required under the IDAA and (iii) make commercially reasonable efforts to cause the City of Boston or another Governmental Authority to accept such easements in accordance with Section 3.6 of the IDAA and in satisfaction of Section 2.01(a)(v) of the IDAA.

(e) From and after the Effective Date and from and after Closing, Developer shall (i) continue to comply with the Act and the Regulations and the IDAA to the extent required to permit the issuance of the Initial Bonds and any Additional Bonds, (ii) reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in connection with the issuance of such Initial Bonds, (iii) reasonably cooperate, at no cost to Developer other than as necessary to satisfy its obligations set forth in Sections 9.4(c), (d)(i) and (d)(ii) (unless such cost is reimbursed to Developer), with Purchaser in connection with the issuance of any Additional Bonds, and (iv) pay the cost of any Independent Construction Agent (which cost shall be recoverable out of applicable Initial and Additional Bond proceeds solely as and to the extent provided in Section 8.4(f)).
(f) Purchaser hereby acknowledges that a prefabricated shade structure (the “Water Transportation Terminal Shade Structure”) required by the Fan Pier Master Plan and the 50 Northern Deed to be installed as part of the water transportation terminal has been ordered but has not been installed as of the Effective Date. Developer shall (i) use diligent efforts to cause the Water Transportation Terminal Shade Structure to be installed in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Fan Pier Master Plan and the 50 Northern Deed and to cause the DEP to issue a certificate of compliance to evidence the completion of the Water Transportation
Terminal Shade Structure, all at Developer’s sole cost and expense, and (ii) shall indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from any and all demands, claims, causes of action, losses, damages, costs or expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Purchaser to the extent arising from any failure of the Water Transportation Terminal Shade Structure to be installed in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Fan Pier Master Plan and the 50 Northern Deed, or any failure of the DEP Certificates of Compliance (or any such DEP certificate at any later time) to evidence the completion of the Water Transportation Terminal Shade Structure.
(g) Developer shall indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from any and all demands, claims, causes of action, losses, damages, costs or expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Purchaser to the extent arising (i) under Article 3 of the IDAA or under Section 5.05(a) of the IDAA, in each case to the extent attributable to the action or inaction of Developer or its affiliates, their agents, contractors, or employees, or (ii) from any breach of Developer’s obligations under this Section 9.4.
(h) Developer, for itself and its affiliates, agrees that it and its affiliates shall not act or omit to act so as to cause a breach of the obligations of Purchaser under the Leases (as in effect as of the Closing Date), including without limitation, the cooperation and notice provisions with respect to future construction under Section 16.13 of the Vertex Leases and the prohibition on amendments of the Project Documents (as defined in the Vertex Leases) in a manner that will adversely affect Vertex, and Developer, for itself and its affiliates, agrees to perform any obligations of the landlord under the Vertex Leases (as in effect as of the Closing Date) with respect to the provision of surface parking.
(i) The provisions of this Section 9.4 shall survive the Closing.
Section 9.5 Cooperation Regarding IDAA. Without limiting Seller’s and Developer’s obligations under Sections 9.3 and 9.4, 50 Northern Seller, with respect to the 50 Northern Property, and 11 Fan Pier Seller, with respect to the 11 Fan Pier Property, hereby agree that, from and after the Closing:
(a) Each Seller shall, with respect to its Property, provide Purchaser with such information regarding the Costs (as such term is defined in the IDAA) incurred by such Seller in connection with the Fan Pier Public Infrastructure Improvements as is reasonably necessary for Purchaser to satisfy its obligations under the IDAA.
(b) Each Seller shall, with respect to its Property, provide Purchaser with such information regarding Construction Related Revenue (as such term is defined in the IDAA) as is reasonably necessary for Purchaser to provide the Annual Data (as such term is defined in the IDAA) in a manner sufficient to satisfy Section 4.02 of the IDAA, in each case to the extent available and in the possession and control of the applicable Seller.
(c) The provisions of this Section 9.5 shall survive the Closing.
ARTICLE 10
Real Estate Commission
Section 10.1 Commissions. If and when, but only if and when, the Closing is completed and the Purchase Price is paid in full (subject to any adjustments and prorations as provided in this Agreement), Seller shall be obligated to pay a real estate commission and/or brokerage fee to Seller’s Broker in accordance with a separate agreement between Seller and Seller’s Broker. Seller’s Broker shall indemnify Seller and Purchaser against all claims, costs and liability relating to any broker or other Person claiming by, through or under Seller’s Broker. By execution of this Agreement, Seller’s Broker agrees to the foregoing matters. Seller and Purchaser respectively shall indemnify and hold harmless the other on account of all claims of any other brokers or finders claiming by, through, under or on account of dealings with them in any way related to this purchase and sale, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred by the indemnified Party. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 11
Termination and Default
Section 11.1 Failure to Perform by Seller. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if Seller defaults in any material respect with respect to any covenant of Seller, as applicable, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or if any of the Seller Representations shall not be true, correct and complete in any material respect upon Closing, except (a) for changes due to the operation of the Property occurring prior to Closing which are not prohibited by this Agreement (therefore there is no breach), (b) if the dollar amount of the damages resulting from any breach of representation or failure to perform any covenant together with all dollar amounts of all other damages resulting from any breach of representation or failure to perform any other covenant is less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (the “Threshold Amount”), in which case the breach is deemed waived by Purchaser, or (c) if otherwise waived by Purchaser, then Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be either: (i) if and only if the breach by either Seller is a breach of any of such entity’s covenants hereunder, xxx for specific performance with respect to the performance of same; (ii) terminate this Agreement at the Closing (as it may be adjourned under this Agreement) in which event the Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs and the fees and costs of third party consultants) up to an aggregate amount of $500,000, this Agreement, without further action of the Parties, shall become null and void and no party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except for the Surviving Obligations; or (iii) waive such default and proceed to Closing without any reduction in, abatement of, or credit against the Purchase Price; if Purchaser fails to make any such election, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected the remedy set forth in Section 11.1(c)(iii). Nothing in this Section 11.1 shall affect any rights and remedies otherwise available to Purchaser at law or in equity in connection with any Surviving Obligations or with respect to any breach of representation or warranty first discovered after Closing or for which Purchaser has no right to terminate this Agreement prior to Closing, provided that Seller shall not be liable for any consequential, special, punitive or indirect damages.
Section 11.2 Notice to Seller. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser shall give each Seller, as applicable, written notice specifying any (i) failure to perform by either Seller of any of Seller’s covenants hereunder or (ii) breach of any Seller Representation hereunder of which Purchaser has actual knowledge, which notice shall be given not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (or, with respect to any matter of which Purchaser first has or obtains actual knowledge less than ten (10) Business Days prior to Closing, Purchaser provides such written notice to Seller at Closing). Upon receipt of such notice, Seller, as applicable, shall have until Closing (and may adjourn the Closing for up to thirty (30) days if such adjournment is reasonably necessary to cure such breach or failure to perform) to cure such breach or failure to perform. At the option of Seller, as applicable, Seller may cure any such breach or failure to perform that can be cured by the payment of money (other than payoff of Seller Mortgages or other monetary Liens) but which Seller, in its sole but reasonable discretion, determines is not curable within the applicable time period prior to Closing by giving Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price at the Closing for a reasonable estimate of the dollar amount to cure. The immediately preceding two sentences of this Section 11.2 shall not apply to any failure of either Seller to perform at Closing, which shall be a default under this Agreement for which no notice and cure period is provided. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, no action or proceeding with respect to any alleged or actual breach or failure to perform described in this Section 11.2 shall be valid or enforceable, at law or in equity, unless (y) with respect to any claim of which Purchaser has or obtains actual knowledge (or is deemed to have knowledge) prior to Closing but for which Purchaser does not have a right to terminate this Agreement or otherwise not proceed with Closing pursuant to this Agreement on account thereof, (i) Purchaser provides written notice of such potential claim to Seller not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to Closing (or, with respect to any claim of which Purchaser first has or obtains actual knowledge less than ten (10) Business Days prior to Closing, Purchaser provides such written notice to Seller at Closing), which notice shall describe such potential claim in reasonable detail based upon the information available to Purchaser at such time, (ii) Seller does not cure such breach or failure to perform, (iii) the Closing is consummated and (iv) a legal proceeding is commenced by Purchaser with respect to such potential claim within forty-five (45) days after the Claim Period, or (z) with respect to any other claim, Purchaser provides written notice of such potential claim to Seller within the Claim Period, which notice shall describe such potential claim in reasonable detail based upon the information available to Purchaser at such time, and a legal proceeding is commenced by Purchaser with respect to such potential claim within forty-five (45) days after the Claim Period.
Section 11.3 Failure to Perform by Purchaser.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if Purchaser defaults in any material respect with respect to any covenant of Purchaser at Closing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then the Deposit shall be forfeited to Seller as liquidated damages (which shall be Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy against Purchaser under this Agreement, at law or in equity), at which time this Agreement shall be null and void and no Party shall have any rights or obligations under this Agreement, except for the Surviving Obligations. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that (i) the Deposit is a reasonable estimate of and bears a reasonable relationship to the damages that would be suffered and costs incurred by Seller as a result of having withdrawn the Property from sale and the failure of Closing to occur due to a default of Purchaser under this Agreement; (ii) the actual damages
suffered and costs incurred by Seller as a result of such withdrawal and failure to close due to a default of Purchaser under this Agreement would be extremely difficult and impractical to determine; (iii) Purchaser seeks to limit its liability under this Agreement to the amount of the Deposit in the event this Agreement is terminated and the transaction contemplated by this Agreement does not close due to a default of Purchaser under this Agreement; and (iv) the Deposit shall be and constitutes valid liquidated damages; provided, however, Purchaser and Seller agree that the liquidated damages do not apply to any indemnity obligation of the Purchaser under this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 11.3(a) shall affect any rights and remedies otherwise available to Seller at law or in equity in connection with any Surviving Obligations or with respect to any breach of representation or warranty first discovered after Closing or for which Seller has no right to terminate this Agreement prior to Closing, provided that Purchaser shall not be liable for any consequential, special, punitive or indirect damages.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Seller shall give Purchaser written notice specifying any (i) failure to perform by Purchaser of any of Purchaser’s covenants hereunder or (ii) breach of any of Purchaser’s representations and warranties hereunder of which Seller has actual knowledge, which notice shall be given not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (or, with respect to any matter of which Seller first has or obtains actual knowledge less than ten (10) Business Days prior to Closing, Seller provides such written notice to Purchaser at Closing). Upon receipt of such notice, Purchaser shall have until Closing (and may adjourn the Closing for up to five (5) Business Days if such adjournment is reasonably necessary to cure such breach or failure to perform) to cure such breach or failure to perform. In the event that as a consequence of such an adjournment by Purchaser any Certificate shall cease to satisfy the requirement set forth in, as applicable, Section 6.1(c) or (d) to be dated no more than sixty (60) days prior to Closing, then Seller shall have no obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an Updated Certificate pursuant to Section 6.1(m) (but Seller may, at its option, obtain such an Updated Certificate pursuant to Section 6.1(m)). At its option, Purchaser may cure any such breach or failure to perform that can be cured by the payment of money (other than monetary Liens) but which Purchaser, in its sole but reasonable discretion, determines is not curable within the applicable time period prior to Closing by paying a reasonable estimate of the dollar amount to cure to Seller at the Closing. The foregoing provisions of this Section 11.3(b) shall not apply to any failure of Purchaser to perform at Closing, which shall be a default under this Agreement for which no notice and cure period is provided. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, no action or proceeding with respect to any alleged or actual breach or failure to perform described in this Section 11.3(b) shall be valid or enforceable, at law or in equity, unless (y) with respect to any claim of which Seller has or obtains actual knowledge (or is deemed to have knowledge) prior to Closing but for which Seller does not have a right to terminate this Agreement or otherwise not proceed with Closing pursuant to this Agreement on account thereof, (i) Seller provides written notice of such potential claim to Purchaser not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to Closing (or, with respect to any claim of which Seller first has or obtains actual knowledge less than ten (10) Business Days prior to Closing, Seller provides such written notice to Seller at Closing), which notice shall describe such potential claim in reasonable detail based upon the information available to Seller at such time, (ii) Purchaser does not cure such breach or failure to perform, (iii) the Closing is consummated and (iv) a legal proceeding is commenced by Seller with respect to such potential claim within forty-five (45) days after the Claim Period, or (z) with respect to any other claim, Seller provides written notice
of such potential claim to Purchaser within a reasonable time, which notice shall describe such potential claim in reasonable detail based upon the information available to Seller at such time, and a legal proceeding is commenced by Seller with respect to such potential claim within forty-five (45) days after the Claim Period.
Section 11.4 Damage Cap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, and subject to the exceptions and restrictions expressly set forth in this Section 11.4 and the limitation of Purchaser’s remedies set forth in Section 11.1, the maximum aggregate liability of the Seller, together, for any and all damages or Claims hereunder or in connection herewith, including, without limitation, any Claims under any documents delivered in connection herewith, shall be Eleven Million Two Hundred Fifty Four Thousand Two Hundred Dollars ($11,254,200) (the “Damage Cap”); provided, however, that (i) Seller shall not have any liability for any such damages or Claims until the aggregate amount of same is in excess of the Threshold Amount (in which case Seller shall be liable for all amounts, including the Threshold Amount, subject to the Damage Cap), (ii) neither the Threshold Amount nor the Damage Cap shall apply to any of Seller’s express payment or indemnification obligations set forth in this Agreement or in any document delivered in connection herewith nor any obligation to pay reasonable attorneys’ fees if required pursuant to this Agreement, and (iii) Seller shall not be liable for any consequential, special, punitive or indirect damages.
Section 11.5 Release. Without limiting any provision in this Agreement, Seller and Purchaser, for themselves and their successors and assigns and their affiliates, hereby release and forever discharge each other and each other’s direct and indirect owners, and the managers, members, partners, beneficial owners, officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents, respectively, of the foregoing, from any and all claims, acts, debts, demands, actions, causes of action, suits, sums of money, guaranties, bonds, covenants, contracts, accounts, agreements, promises, representations, restitutions, omissions, variances, damages, obligations, costs, environmental releases, response actions, fees and liabilities of every name and nature whatsoever, both at law and in equity, known and unknown (any of the foregoing, a “Claim”), which they and their successors and assigns may now or hereafter have by reason of states of fact existing as of the Closing Date, against any other Party and each other’s direct or indirect owners, or the managers, members, partners, beneficial owners, officers, directors, employees, attorneys or agents, respectively, of the foregoing, arising in connection with or in any manner related to this Agreement, the Property or the transactions contemplated hereby, excepting solely any such Claims with respect to the Surviving Obligations and obligations arising under the Assignment and Assumption Agreements, the IDAA Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the Final Completion Assignment Agreement and any other instrument or agreement delivered in connection with the Closing; provided, however, that the release set forth in this Section 11.5 is not intended and shall not be construed to affect or impair (i) any rights or remedies that either Party may have against the other (or Seller Parties, with respect to Seller) as a result of a breach of any of such other party’s representations or warranties or of any covenant of such other Party (or, with respect to Seller, any of the Seller Parties) expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any document executed and delivered by such party at Closing that expressly survives the Closing, subject to the terms and limitations on such Party’s liability as set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, or (ii) any continuing rights, obligations or other matters with respect to any Seller Party arising from and after the Closing.
Section 11.6 Survival. The provisions of this Article 11 shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 12
Miscellaneous
Section 12.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated herein, and it supersedes all prior discussions, understandings or agreements between the Parties. All Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto are a part of this Agreement and are incorporated herein by reference.
Section 12.2 Binding On Successors and Assigns. Subject to Section 12.3, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
Section 12.3 No Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any interest hereunder shall be assigned or transferred by Seller or Purchaser; provided, however, that Purchaser may designate an entity or entities that are wholly-owned and controlled by Purchaser to take title to the Property and to execute and deliver the documents to be executed and delivered by Purchaser hereunder in connection with the Closing (any such entity, a “Permitted Assignee”) and may assign its rights hereunder at Closing to any such Permitted Assignee. For purposes of clarity, Purchaser shall have the right to assign its right to take title to either or both Properties under this Agreement in one or more separate entities that are wholly-owned and controlled by Purchaser solely for the purposes of such entity taking title at Closing and executing such documents, but the Purchaser named herein (i.e., Senior Housing Properties Trust) shall not be released hereunder and shall continue to be liable for all covenants and obligations of “Purchaser” hereunder. Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence and without limiting the liability of the initial Purchaser (i.e., Senior Housing Properties Trust) and any Permitted Assignees hereunder, (i) the term “Purchaser” as used in this Agreement shall be deemed to include the initial Purchaser and any permitted designee of the initial Purchaser and (ii) Purchaser or its Permitted Assignee(s) may assign Purchaser’s rights under this Agreement to any mortgagee on either or both Properties or any lender of Purchaser. Further, from and after the Closing, and without limiting the liability of Purchaser and any Permitted Assignee hereunder, Purchaser or its Permitted Assignee(s) may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement without restriction, provided, however, Purchaser or its Permitted Assignee(s) may not assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any purchaser of either or both of the Properties (other than an entity wholly-owned and controlled by Senior Housing Properties Trust) within six (6) months after the Closing without first obtaining Seller’s prior written consent, which may be granted or withheld in Seller’s sole discretion. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon Seller and Purchaser and their respective successors and assigns.
Section 12.4 Waiver. The excuse or waiver of the performance by a Party of any obligation of the other Party under this Agreement shall only be effective if evidenced by a written statement signed by the Party so excusing or waiving. No delay in exercising any right or remedy shall constitute a waiver thereof, and no waiver by Seller or Purchaser of the breach of
any covenant of this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other covenant or condition of this Agreement.
Section 12.5 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed and interpreted in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated herein may be brought in the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts located in the County of Suffolk or of the United States of America for the District of Massachusetts, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Parties hereto hereby accepts generally and unconditionally, the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, in connection with any such action or proceeding, any objection, including, without limitation, any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in such respective jurisdictions.
Section 12.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed, including executed by facsimile or electronic signature, in any number of counterparts and it shall be sufficient that the signature of each Party appear on one or more such counterparts. All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single agreement. A facsimile or electronic signature to this Agreement shall be sufficient to prove the execution hereby by any Person.
Section 12.7 Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 5.1, all notices or other communications required or permitted to be sent by any Party shall be in writing and shall be delivered (i) by United States Postal Service, first class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, (ii) by any nationally known overnight delivery service for next day delivery, (iii) in person or (iv) by facsimile or electronic mail (in .PDF format) with an original of such notice or other communication sent via overnight delivery, in each case addressed as follows:

Any address or name specified above may be changed by notice given to the addressee by the other Party in accordance with this Section 12.7. A notice or other communication shall be deemed to have been given on the earlier of (a) the date received by the addressee of such notice or other communication, (b) the date of delivery, refusal or non-delivery of such notice or other communication indicated on the return receipt or (c) with respect to a notice or other communication delivered in the manner described in clause (iv) of this Section 12.7, on the date of the transmission of the facsimile or electronic mail so long as it is received in its entirety by 5:00pm local time in Boston, Massachusetts on such day and the original of such notice is received the next Business Day via overnight delivery in the manner described in clause (iv) of this Section 12.7. The inability to deliver notice because of a changed address of which no notice was given as provided above, or because of rejection or other refusal to accept any notice, shall be deemed to be the receipt of the notice as of the date of such inability to deliver or rejection or refusal to accept. Any notice to be given by any Party hereto may be given by the counsel for such Party.
Section 12.8 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of a proceeding or action by one Party against the other Party with respect to the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover reasonable costs and expenses including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, whether at the investigative, pretrial, trial or appellate level. The prevailing Party shall be determined by the court based upon an assessment of which Party’s major arguments or position prevailed.
Section 12.9 IRS Real Estate Sales Reporting. Purchaser and Seller hereby agree that the Escrow Agent shall act as “the person responsible for closing” the transaction which is the subject of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6045(e) of the Code and shall prepare and file all informational returns, including IRS Form 1099-S, and shall otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6045(e) of the Code.
Section 12.10 Time Periods. Any reference in this Agreement to the time for the performance of obligations or elapsed time shall mean consecutive calendar days, months, or years, as applicable. In the event the time for performance of any obligation hereunder expires on a day that is not a Business Day, the time for performance shall be extended to the next Business Day.
Section 12.11 Modification of Agreement. No modification of this Agreement shall be deemed effective unless expressly provided for herein or in writing expressly purporting to modify or amend this Agreement and signed by both Seller and Purchaser.
Section 12.12 Descriptive Headings; Word Meaning. The descriptive headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any provisions of this Agreement. Words such as “herein”, “hereinafter”, “hereof” and “hereunder” when used in reference to this Agreement, refer to this Agreement as a whole and not merely to a subdivision in which such words appear, unless the context otherwise requires. The singular shall include the plural and the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter, and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The word “including” shall not be restrictive and shall be interpreted as if followed by the words “without limitation.”
Section 12.13 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement and all covenants and deadlines hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser and Seller hereby confirm their intention and agreement that time shall be of the essence of each and every provision of this Agreement, notwithstanding any subsequent modification or extension of any date or time period that is provided for under this Agreement. The agreement of Purchaser and Seller that time is of the essence of each and every provision of this Agreement shall not be waived or modified by any conduct of the Parties, and the agreement of Purchaser and Seller that time is of the essence of each and every provision of this Agreement may only be modified or waived by the express written agreement of Purchaser and Seller that time shall not be of the essence with respect to a particular date or time period, or any modification or extension thereof, which is provided under this Agreement.
Section 12.14 Construction of Agreement. This Agreement shall not be construed more strictly against one Party than against another merely by virtue of the fact that it may have been prepared primarily by counsel for one of the Parties, it being recognized that each of Purchaser and Seller have contributed substantially and materially to the preparation of this Agreement. Other than contemporaneous instruments executed and delivered of even date, if any, this Agreement contains all of the agreements between the Parties relating in any way to the premises and supersedes all prior agreements and dealings between them. There are no oral agreements between the Parties relating to this Agreement or the premises. The enumeration of specific examples of a general provision shall not be construed as a limitation of the general provision. Unless a Party’s approval or consent is required by the express terms of this Agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, such approval or consent may be withheld in the Party’s sole discretion. Nothing herein shall be construed as creating the relationship between the Parties of principal and agent, or of partners or joint venturers or any relationship other than seller and buyer. This Agreement and all consents, notices, approvals and all other related documents may be reproduced by any Party by any electronic means or by facsimile,
photographic, microfilm, microfiche or other reproduction process and the originals may be destroyed; and each Party agrees that any reproductions shall be as admissible in evidence in any judicial or administrative proceeding as the original itself (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not reproduction was made in the regular course of business), and that any further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible. If any payment in the nature of interest provided for in this Agreement shall exceed the maximum interest permitted under controlling law, as established by final judgment of a court, then such interest shall instead be at the maximum permitted interest rate as established by such judgment.
Section 12.15 Limitations on Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and subject always to any additional limitations on Seller’s liability set forth elsewhere in this Agreement: (a) Purchaser’s recourse against Seller under this Agreement or any agreement, document, certificate or instrument delivered by either Seller hereunder, or under any law, rule or regulation relating to the Property, shall be limited to such Seller’s interest in the Property (or, following the Closing, to the net proceeds of the sale of the Property actually received by such Seller) and (b) in no event shall any of the Seller Parties have any personal liability for the acts, omissions, obligations or liabilities of Seller hereunder or otherwise, except that if and only if Purchaser is unable to satisfy an enforceable judgment obtained by Purchaser against Seller under this Agreement by recourse to Seller, Purchaser shall be entitled to enforce such judgment against Developer, a member of the sole members of each of the respective Sellers, and Developer hereby joins in this Agreement for the limited purpose of confirming the same. For purposes of this Section 12.15, no negative capital account or any contribution or payment obligation of any partner or member of Seller shall constitute an asset of Seller. Except to the extent set forth in Section 6.1, the acceptance of the Deeds and all other performance of Seller at the Closing shall constitute full performance of all of Seller’s respective obligations hereunder other than the Surviving Obligations.
Section 12.16 Severability. The Parties hereto intend and believe that each provision in this Agreement comports with all applicable local, state and federal laws and judicial decisions. If, however, any provision in this Agreement is found by a court of law to be in violation of any applicable local, state, or federal law, statute, ordinance, administrative or judicial decision, or public policy, or if in any other respect such a court declares any such provision to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written, then it is the intent of all Parties hereto that, consistent with and with a view towards preserving the economic and legal arrangements among the Parties hereto as expressed in this Agreement, such provision shall be given force and effect to the fullest possible extent, and that the remainder of this Agreement shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful, void, or unenforceable provision were not contained herein, and that the rights, obligations, and interests of the Parties under the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
Section 12.17 No Recording. The provisions hereof shall not constitute a lien on the Property. Neither Purchaser nor its agents or representatives shall record or file this Agreement or any notice or memorandum hereof in any registry of deeds or registry district of the Land Court except for any lis pendens filed in connection with a breach of this Agreement by Seller beyond applicable notice and cure periods, if any. If Purchaser breaches the foregoing provision, this Agreement shall, at either Seller’s election, terminate, and Seller shall retain the Deposit in accordance with Section 11.3 in addition to such other remedies Seller may have at law or in
equity. Purchaser hereby irrevocably appoints each Seller as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, for the purpose of executing and recording such documents and performing such other acts as may be necessary to terminate any recording or filing of this Agreement in violation of this provision.
Section 12.18 No Implied Agreement. Neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any obligations in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement unless each of Seller and Purchaser, each acting in its sole discretion, elects to execute and deliver this Agreement to the other Parties. No correspondence, course of dealing or submission of drafts or final versions of this Agreement between Seller and Purchaser shall be deemed to create any binding obligations in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby, and no contract or obligation on the part of Seller or Purchaser shall arise unless and until this Agreement is fully executed by each of Seller and Purchaser. Once executed and delivered by Seller and Purchaser, this Agreement shall be binding upon them notwithstanding the failure of Escrow Agent or any broker or other Person to execute this Agreement.
Section 12.19 Environmental Release by Purchaser. Without limiting any provision in this Agreement, Purchaser, for itself and any of its successors and assigns and their affiliates, hereby irrevocably and absolutely waives its right to recover from, and forever releases and discharges, and covenants not to file or otherwise pursue any legal action (whether based on contract, statutory rights, common law or otherwise) against, any Seller Party with respect to any and all suits, actions, proceedings, investigations, demands, claims, liabilities, obligations, fines, penalties, liens, judgments, losses, injuries, damages, settlement expenses or costs of whatever kind or nature, whether direct or indirect, known or unknown, contingent or otherwise (including any action or proceeding brought or threatened or ordered by any Governmental Authority), including, without limitation, attorneys’ and experts’ fees and expenses, and investigation and remediation costs, that may arise by reason of states of fact existing as of the Closing Date at the Property or any portion thereof including, without limitation, the physical, environmental and structural condition of the Property as of the Closing Date or any law or regulation applicable thereto, or any other matter relating to the use, presence or discharge of Hazardous Materials on, under, in, above or about the Property prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that the release set forth in this Section 12.19 is not intended and shall not be construed to affect or impair (i) any rights or remedies that Purchaser may have against Seller or any of the other Seller Parties as a result of a breach of any of the Seller Representations or of any covenant of Seller or any of the other Seller Parties expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any document executed and delivered by such Seller or Seller Party at Closing that expressly survives the Closing, subject to the terms and limitations on Seller’s liability as set forth elsewhere in this Agreement or (ii) any continuing rights, obligations or other matters with respect to any Seller Party arising from and after the Closing. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Hazardous Materials” means any substance, chemical, compound, product, solid, gas, liquid, waste, byproduct, pollutant, contaminant or other material that is hazardous, toxic, ignitable, corrosive, carcinogenic or otherwise presents a risk of danger to human, plant or animal life or the environment or that is defined, determined or identified as such in any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation (whether now existing or hereafter enacted or promulgated) and any judicial or administrative order or judgment, in each case relating to the protection of human health, safety and/or the environment, including, but not limited to, any materials, wastes or substances that are included within the definition of (A) “hazardous waste” in the federal Recourse Conservation
and Recovery Act; (B) “hazardous substances” in the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act; (C) “pollutants” in the federal Clean Water Act; (D) “toxic substances” in the federal Toxic Substances Control Act; (E) “oil or hazardous materials” in the laws or regulations of any state or commonwealth, and (F) any substance, material, waste, pollutant or contaminant listed or defined as hazardous or toxic under any Environmental Law. The term “Environmental Laws” includes without limitation the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act and other federal laws governing the environment as in effect on the date of this Agreement, together with their implementing regulations, guidelines, rules or orders as of the date of this Agreement, and all state, regional, county, municipal and other local laws, regulations, ordinances, rules or orders that are equivalent or similar to the federal laws recited above or that purport to regulate Hazardous Materials.
Section 12.20 Indemnification Procedures.
(a) For purposes of this Section 12.20, the term “Asserting Party” shall mean the party against whom a Claim is asserted and who seeks indemnification under this Agreement, and the term “Defending Party” shall mean the party from whom indemnification is sought under this Agreement.
(b) If a Claim is made against the Asserting Party which the Asserting Party believes to be covered by the Defending Party’s indemnification obligation under this Agreement, the Asserting Party shall promptly notify the Defending Party of the Claim and, in such notice, shall offer to the Defending Party the opportunity to assume the defense of the Claim within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the notice (with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Asserting Party). If the Defending Party timely elects to assume the defense of the Claim, the Defending Party shall do so on behalf of both the Asserting Party and the Defending Party, unless both the Asserting Party and the Defending Party are named in the same litigation and representation of both of them by the same counsel would be inappropriate.
(c) If the Defending Party timely elects to assume the defense of the Claim, the Defending Party shall have the right to settle the Claim on any terms it considers reasonable as long as the settlement shall not require the Asserting Party to render any performance or pay any consideration without its consent and provides for an unconditional release from all liability with respect to such Claim of the Asserting Party.
(d) If the Defending Party fails timely to elect to assume the defense of the Claim, or if the Defending Party timely elects to assume the defense of the Claim but thereafter fails to defend the Claim with diligence and continuity, the Asserting Party shall have the right, after giving prior written notice to the Defending Party, to take over the defense of the Claim and to settle the Claim on any terms it considers reasonable. Any such settlement shall be valid as against the Defending Party.
(e) If the Defending Party assumes the defense of a Claim, the Asserting Party may employ its own counsel but such employment shall be at the sole expense of the Asserting Party. If the Defending Party assumes the defense of a Claim but the same counsel may not represent both the Asserting Party and the Defending Party, or if the Defending Party fails timely
to assume the defense of the Claim or, after having elected to assume the defense fails to defend the Claim with diligence and continuity, the Asserting Party may employ its own counsel and such employment shall be at the sole expense of the Defending Party.
(f) Whether or not the Defending Party elects to assume the defense of a Claim, the Defending Party shall cooperate with the Asserting Party in the defense of the Claim. If the Defending Party elects to assume the defense of a Claim, the Asserting Party will cooperate with the Defending Party in such defense.
(g) If the Asserting Party is obligated to pay amounts for which it is entitled to be indemnified hereunder, then Defending Party shall be obligated, unless such amounts shall be reimbursed to the Asserting Party within ten (10) days after demand therefor, to pay interest on such amounts thereafter until paid at a per annum rate equal to 2% above the rate announced as its “prime rate” by Citibank, N.A. (or any successor bank thereto).
(h) If the Asserting Party is obligated to perform repairs or other work in connection with any Claims for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder then, except in the case of any emergency situation which involves immediate threat of damage or injury to persons or property (as to which no such notice shall be required to be given until the earliest practicable opportunity), the Asserting Party shall give a written notice to Defending Party setting forth the general nature of such repairs or other work and, if the Defending Party fails to commence or, in the case of the foregoing emergency situation assume the continuation of such repairs or other work within ten (10) days after such written notice or, having commenced such repairs or other work, fails to diligently prosecute such repairs or other work to completion, then such Asserting Party shall be entitled to (and shall at all times) perform such repair or other work in a manner which a reasonable and prudent owner of properties similar to the Property located where such Property is located would cause such work to be performed.
(i) The provisions of this Section 12.20 shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement for so long as and be applicable to any indemnity herein that survives the Closing or termination of this Agreement.
Section 12.21 Allocation of Liability. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement and subject to the limitations expressly provided in this Agreement, it is expressly understood and agreed that each Seller shall be liable to third parties for, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser from and against, any and all obligations, claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses arising out of events, contractual obligations, acts, or omissions of such Seller that occurred in connection with the construction, development, ownership or operation of the Property prior to the Closing, and Purchaser shall be liable to third parties for, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller from and against, any and all obligations, claims, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses arising out of events, contractual obligations, acts, or omissions of Purchaser that occur in connection with the construction, development, ownership or operation of the Property after the Closing.
Section 12.22 Liability of Seller. Until 11 Fan Pier Seller’s and 50 Northern Seller’s financing encumbering its respective Property is discharged, 11 Fan Pier Seller and 50 Northern Seller shall not be jointly and severally liable with the other for any obligations and liabilities of each
other, of Seller or of Sellers under this Agreement. Upon the discharge of such financing, which is required to happen on or before the Closing Date in accordance with this Agreement, each of 11 Fan Pier Seller and 50 Northern Seller shall be (i) severally liable for its own obligations and liabilities as Seller under this Agreement to the extent covered by any available insurance proceeds associated with such obligations and/or liabilities and (ii) jointly and severally liable with the other for any other remaining obligations and liabilities of each other and of Seller and Sellers under this Agreement.
Section 12.23 Financials. Seller shall provide Purchaser with reasonable access to the books and records of Seller with respect to the Property for purposes of preparing audited financial statements in accordance with the requirements of Regulation S-X, Rule 3-14 of the SEC, such financial statements to be prepared at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense. Seller shall provide Purchaser or its accountants with such certifications and representations as to such books and records as Purchaser or its accountants shall reasonably require in order to enable Purchaser or its accountants to prepare such audited financial statements. Purchaser shall be responsible for all costs or expenses reasonably incurred by Seller in connection with the preparation of such certifications and representations.
Section 12.24 Further Assurances. In case at any time after the Closing Date any reasonable further action is necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the transfer of the Property to Purchaser and obtaining all customary post-closing consents, Seller and Purchaser will take or cause to be taken such further action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) as the other party reasonably may request, all without further consideration.
Section 12.25 Statement of Limited Liability. THE AMENDED AND RESTATED DECLARATION OF TRUST ESTABLISHING SENIOR HOUSING PROPERTIES TRUST, DATED SEPTEMBER 20, 1999, AS AMENDED AND SUPPLEMENTED, AS FILED WITH THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF ASSESSMENTS AND TAXATION OF MARYLAND, PROVIDES THAT NO TRUSTEE, OFFICER, SHAREHOLDER, EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF SENIOR HOUSING PROPERTIES TRUST SHALL BE HELD TO ANY PERSONAL LIABILITY, JOINTLY OR SEVERALLY, FOR ANY OBLIGATION OF, OR CLAIM AGAINST, SENIOR HOUSING PROPERTIES TRUST. ALL PERSONS DEALING WITH SENIOR HOUSING PROPERTIES TRUST IN ANY WAY SHALL LOOK ONLY TO THE ASSETS OF SENIOR HOUSING PROPERTIES TRUST FOR THE PAYMENT OF ANY SUM OR THE PERFORMANCE OF ANY OBLIGATION.
Section 12.26 Survival. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Article 12, the provisions of this Article 12 shall survive Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement.
