-3-
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if this Agreement terminates or Closing fails to occur for any reason other than Buyer’s default under this Agreement, the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Buyer.

Any fees charged by the Escrow Agent for its services hereunder shall be split evenly between Buyer and the Seller.
Section 4. Inspection and Condition of the Property.
(a) Access to and Inspection of the Property. Subject to the rights of tenants and other occupants under Leases (“Tenants”), Buyer shall have the right until November 27, 2007 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time (standard or daylight as applicable in Boston, Massachusetts) (the “Due Diligence Expiration Date”) (such period being referred to herein as the “Inspection Period”) to enter upon and have access to the Property, upon reasonable notice to Seller (which may be oral), in order to conduct surveys, tests, examinations, appraisals and inspections thereof; provided, that, any intrusive testing shall require Seller’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to environmental investigations only, the Inspection Period shall terminate on December 20, 2007 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time (standard or daylight as applicable in Boston, Massachusetts). Buyer shall not make any subsurface soil examinations unless Buyer has satisfied Seller that such examinations will not adversely affect any building foundations and/or utilities. Prior to entering upon the Premise pursuant to this Section 4(a), Buyer shall provide to Seller evidence of Buyer’s general public liability insurance with policy limits of $2,000,000 in personal injury coverage and $1,000,000 in property damage coverage naming Seller and New Boston Management Services, Inc., as an additional insured. At Seller’s option, Seller or Seller’s agent may accompany and/or observe Buyer during Buyer’s due diligence undertakings at the Property. After having conducted such inspections and tests, Buyer shall immediately restore the Property to the same condition as existed prior to Buyer’s entry thereon, reasonable wear and tear and casualty not caused by Buyer excepted. Buyer may communicate with any tenant of the Property, without Seller’s prior written consent. To the extent not already provided to Buyer, Seller shall, within three (3) business days following the date of execution of this Agreement, provide Buyer with legible copies of all the documents listed on Exhibit 4(a)-1 (the “Due Diligence Documents”). Seller shall, during the Inspection Period, promptly provide, or make available, to Buyer in Seller’s office, financial records including income and expense records, invoices, accounts payable and accounts receivable reports from management, correspondence from and to Tenants,
-4-
and other documents in Seller’s possession which relate to the Property upon reasonable request from Buyer in writing. IT IS THE PARTIES EXPRESS UNDERSTANDING AND AGREEMENT THAT ALL SUCH MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED BY SELLER SOLELY FOR BUYER’S CONVENIENCE IN MAKING ITS OWN EXAMINATION AND DETERMINATION PRIOR TO THE DUE DILIGENCE EXPIRATION DATE AS TO WHETHER IT WISHES TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED EXPRESSLY IN THIS AGREEMENT, AND IN MAKING SUCH EXAMINATION AND DETERMINATION, BUYER SHALL RELY EXCLUSIVELY ON ITS OWN INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION AND EVALUATION OF THE PROPERTY. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED EXPRESSLY IN THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER MAKES NO REPRESENTATION AS TO THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS OR RELEVANCY OF ANY MATERIALS PROVIDED BY SELLER. Subject to the rights of Tenants, Buyer, and Buyer’s prospective mortgagee, shall also have the right subsequent to the Due Diligence Expiration Date to enter upon and have access to the Property upon reasonable notice to Seller (which may be oral), in order to conduct surveys, approvals and inspections thereof; provided, however, Buyer shall have no right to terminate this Agreement as a result of any information or belief acquired at or in connection with such access and/or inspection subsequent to the Due Diligence Expiration Date, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.
Buyer has informed Seller that Buyer is required by law to complete, with respect to certain matters relating to the Property, an audit commonly known as a “3-14” Audit (“Buyer’s 3-14 Audit”). In connection with the performance of Buyer’s 3-14 Audit, Seller shall during the Inspection Period deliver to Buyer, concurrently with the delivery of the Due Diligence Documents, (i) the documents which are described on Exhibit 4(a)-2 attached hereto, to the extent in existence and in Seller’s possession (collectively, “Buyer’s 3-14 Audit Documents”) and (ii) provide to Buyer in written form, answers to such questions relating to the Property which are set forth in Exhibit 4(a)-2, to the extent such information is in existence and in Seller’s possession.
The Due Diligence Documents and Buyer’s 3-14 Audit Documents shall be collectively referred to in this Agreement as the “Property Documents”.
The originals (and where originals are not available or in Seller’s possession or control, copies) of all Property Documents shall become the property of Buyer upon Closing. Upon Closing, Seller may retain copies of any Property Documents which Seller may make at Seller’s sole cost and expense.
(b) Indemnification for Inspections. Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller and Seller’s partners, employees, officers, agents, contractors, and representatives harmless from and against any lien, liability, loss, damage, claim, fee, cost or expense, including reasonable attorney’s fees, for the costs of such inspections, tests and investigations and for physical damage to property or bodily injury to persons which results from any such entry upon or inspection or testing of the Property by Buyer, or by any employee, officer, agent, contractor, representative or assignee of Buyer; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity shall not be applicable to conditions discovered by Buyer, but not originally caused by Buyer, nor shall such indemnity extend to any lien, liability loss, damage, claim, fee, or expense caused by or arising out of the negligence of Seller or its agents. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason or delivery of the Deed, as applicable.
-5-
(c) Due Diligence Expiration. Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with or without reason in Buyer’s sole discretion by written termination notice to Seller received on or before 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time (standard or daylight, as applicable in Boston, Massachusetts) on the Due Diligence Expiration Date, and this Agreement shall be terminated and be of no further force and effect, except as otherwise provided herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Buyer shall have the additional right to terminate this Agreement with or without reason in Buyer’s sole discretion for objections to the environmental condition of the Property only by written termination notice to Seller received on or before 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time (standard or daylight, as applicable in Boston, Massachusetts) on December 20, 2007, and this Agreement shall be terminated and be of no further force and effect, except as otherwise provided herein.

Any such timely termination notice shall be sufficient notice to the Escrow Agent to return the Deposit with interest accrued thereon to Buyer forthwith. If Buyer shall fail to provide a termination notice to Seller in accordance with this Section 4(c), then Buyer shall be deemed to have waived any right pursuant to this Section 4(c), Buyer shall no longer be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4(c), and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
(d) Notice of Code Violation. Seller does hereby agree to give to Buyer, promptly upon receipt, a copy of any written notice (the “Governmental Violation Notice”) which Seller receives prior to Closing from any governmental authority concerning a violation of any zoning or building or other code, law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation or order which regulates the use of the Property. If said Governmental Violation Notice is received by Seller and delivered to Buyer on or before the Due Diligence Expiration Date, then Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement on account of said violation in accordance with Section 4(c) of this Agreement. If said Governmental Violation Notice is received by Seller after the Due Diligence Expiration Date but prior to the Closing Date, then, together with a copy of the Governmental Violation Notice, Seller shall give Buyer a written notice (the “Seller’s Violation Cure Notice”) stating that (i) Seller agrees to cure the violation identified in the Governmental Violations Notice, or (ii) Seller does not agree to, or cannot, cure the violation in the Governmental Violation Notice. If Seller gives Buyer notice that Seller will cure the violation identified in the Governmental Violation Notice, then Seller shall proceed with due diligence to effect such cure to the satisfaction of the entity citing such violation, and this transaction shall be closed on the Closing Date or such later date as may be specified by Seller upon completion of such cure, [but no later than fifteen (15) days following the then current Closing Date) and such cure shall be a condition precedent to Closing. If Seller notifies Buyer that Seller cannot or will not cure the violation identified in the Governmental Violation Notice, then Buyer shall have the right, at its option, to take either of the following actions (x) Buyer may terminate this Agreement by written termination notice to Seller received by Seller within five (5) days of delivery of Seller’s Violation Cure Notice; or (y) Buyer may proceed to close this transaction, in which event, Buyer shall waive Buyer’s objections and shall pay to Seller the full Purchase Price. If Buyer fails to respond timely to
-6-
Seller’s Violation Cure Notice, then Buyer shall be deemed to waive any objection on account of any violation, Buyer shall no longer be entitled to terminate this Agreement as a result of its violation, and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
(e) Condition of the Property. Except as may be expressly set forth in this Agreement, Buyer is purchasing the Property AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS. Except as may be expressly provided in this Agreement, Buyer shall rely solely upon its own review of documents and inspections with regard to the condition of the Property and the structural and mechanical systems of the improvements thereon, including, but not limited to, its location, size, subsurface or soil condition, construction and character; and, except as may be expressly set forth in this Agreement, Buyer specifically agrees that it shall purchase and acquire the Property AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY BY SELLER WHATSOEVER, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE TRUTH OR ACCURACY OF ANY DOCUMENTS SUPPLIED, AS TO THE CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY, OR AS TO ITS FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ALL OF WHICH ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED BY SELLER. EXCEPT AS MAY BE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, BUYER DOES HEREBY SPECIFICALLY AFFIRM THAT, AS A RESULT OF THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS, ITS PURCHASE AND ACQUISITION OF THE PROPERTY SHALL BE MADE WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY BY SELLER AS TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY (INCLUDING ANY MATTERS RELATING TO SUCH ITEMS AS HAZARDOUS MATERIALS (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 14(a) OF THIS AGREEMENT), WASTE MATERIALS, UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANKS OR AREAS OR ANY OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL MATTER).
(f) Buyer hereby releases Seller and its partners, trustees, beneficiaries, and their respective agents, representatives, and employees from any and all claims, demands, and causes of action, past, present, and future, that Buyer may have relating to (i) the condition of the Property at any time, before or after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, the presence of any Hazardous Materials (as defined in Section 14(a)(ix) of this Agreement), or (ii) any other matter pertaining to the Property, provided, however, that the foregoing release shall not apply to (x) claims resulting from the breach of any representation or warranty, covenant, or indemnification obligation made by Seller in this Agreement to the extent that, and during the period, the same survive the Closing, (y) Seller’s fraud, and (z) covenants or indemnification obligations of Seller in the Closing Instruments (as hereinafter defined). This release shall survive the Closing or other termination of this Agreement for any reason.
Section 5. Title Matters and Insurance.
(a) Title Commitment. Buyer shall obtain, at its own expense, from Chicago Title Insurance Company, 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, Attn: Xxxx Xxxxxx; Phone (000) 000-0000; Fax (000) 000-0000 (the “Title Company”), a commitment for title insurance (the “Commitment”) for the issuance of an owner’s policy of title insurance on a standard ALTA form (the “Policy”) with respect to the Property. Buyer shall obtain, at Buyer’s expense, such survey of the Property as Buyer shall desire. Seller shall have no obligation to provide or pay for the Commitment, Policy or survey Buyer may decide to obtain.
-7-
(b) Title Matters and Encumbrances on Title. The Commitment shall show fee simple title to the Property in Seller, subject only to the following: (i) the standard exceptions for any owner’s policy, (ii) any instruments or title matters which affect the Property (items (i) and (ii) being herein referred to individually as a “Title Encumbrance”). Any Title Encumbrance which is approved or is deemed to be approved or waived by Buyer shall be a permitted exception or encumbrance on the title to the Property and shall be a “Permitted Encumbrance”.
(c) Title Objection Notice. On or before the Due Diligence Expiration Date, Buyer may give to Seller written notice (the “Title Objection Notice”) of any Title Encumbrance which is not acceptable to Buyer as a Permitted Encumbrance on the title to the Property (the “Title Objection”). Any Title Encumbrance affecting the Property not objected to in the Title Objection Notice from Buyer to Seller shall be deemed to be approved or waived by Buyer and shall be a Permitted Encumbrance. If Buyer fails to provide a Title Objection Notice timely to Seller, then Buyer’s right to object on account of title shall be deemed waived, and all Title Encumbrances shall be Permitted Encumbrances.
(d) Title Cure Notice. If Buyer timely provides to Seller a written Title Objection Notice, then, within five (5) days after the receipt of Buyer’s Title Objection Notice, Seller shall give to Buyer a written notice (the “Title Cure Notice”) stating that (i) Seller agrees to cure one or more of the defects identified in the Title Objection Notice on or before the Closing Date, or (ii) Seller does not agree to, or cannot, cure one or more of the defects identified in the Title Objection Notice; it being understood and agreed that, except as expressly provided below in this Section 5(d), Seller shall not be obligated to cure any defects. If Seller gives Buyer notice that Seller will cure any of the Title Objections, then this transaction shall be closed on the Closing Date unless Seller notifies Buyer that it cannot effect the cure before the scheduled Closing Date, in which event the Closing Date shall be extended for up to fifteen (15) days to permit Seller to effect such cure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be obligated to eliminate in connection with the Closing all mortgages and assignments of leases and rents, mechanic’s liens, tax liens, assessment liens, judgment liens, mortgage liens, and other similar exceptions to the title to the Property which affect Seller’s Interest (“Monetary Encumbrances”). Seller shall be entitled to use such portion of the Purchase Price as is necessary to pay off all such Monetary Encumbrances and any Title Objection that Seller agrees to cure. Buyer hereby acknowledges that any instruments evidencing the release or discharge of the Monetary Encumbrances shall be recorded at or after the Closing in accordance with standard conveyancing practice. If Seller notifies Buyer that Seller will not, or cannot, remove any Title Objection, then Buyer shall have the right, at its option, to take either of the following actions (x) Buyer may terminate this Agreement by written termination notice to Seller received by Seller within five (5) days of delivery of Seller’s Title Cure Notice, in which event the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Buyer, or (y) Buyer may proceed to close this transaction, in which event Buyer shall waive Buyer’s objections and shall pay to Seller the full Purchase Price.
-8-
(e) Survey Objection Notice. On or before the Due Diligence Expiration Date, Buyer may give to Seller written notice (the “Survey Objection Notice”) of any survey matter which is not acceptable to Buyer (the “Survey Objection”). Any survey matter affecting the Property not objected to in the Survey Objection Notice from Buyer to Seller shall be deemed to be approved or waived by Buyer. If Buyer fails to provide a Survey Objection Notice timely to Seller, then Buyer’s right to object on account of survey matters shall be deemed waived.
(f) Survey Cure Notice. If Buyer timely provides to Seller a written Survey Objection Notice, then, within five (5) days after the receipt of Buyer’s Survey Objection Notice, Seller shall give to Buyer a written notice (the “Survey Cure Notice”) stating that (i) Seller agrees to cure one or more of the defects identified in the Survey Objection Notice on or before the Closing Date, or (ii) Seller does not agree to, or cannot, cure one or more of the defects identified in the Survey Objection Notice; it being understood and agreed that Seller shall not be obligated to cure any defects. If Seller gives Buyer notice that Seller will cure any of the Survey Objections, then this transaction shall be closed on the Closing Date unless Seller notifies Buyer that it cannot effect the cure before the scheduled Closing Date, in which event the Closing Date shall be extended for up to fifteen (15) days to permit Seller to effect such cure. Seller shall be entitled to use such portion of the Purchase Price as is necessary to cure any Survey Objection that Seller agrees to cure. The Buyer hereby acknowledges that any instruments evidencing the cure of any Survey Objection shall be recorded at or after the Closing in accordance with standard conveyancing practice. If Seller notifies Buyer that Seller will not, or cannot, remove any Survey Objection, then Buyer shall have the right, at its option, to take either of the following actions (x) Buyer may terminate this Agreement by written termination notice to Seller received by Seller within five (5) days of delivery of Seller’s Survey Cure Notice, in which event the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Buyer, or (y) Buyer may proceed to close this transaction, in which event Buyer shall waive Buyer’s objections and shall pay to Seller the full Purchase Price.
(g) New Encumbrances. Buyer shall have the right to object to any Title Encumbrances or survey matters first occurring after the date of the Commitment (each a “New Encumbrance”) by giving written notice of the New Encumbrance to which Buyer is objecting at any time prior to Closing, but not later than three (3) business days after discovery of the same. If Buyer does not object to any New Encumbrance by giving timely written notice as herein provided, such New Encumbrance shall be a Permitted Encumbrance. In the event Buyer gives timely written notice of objection to any New Encumbrance as herein provided, the provisions of Section 5(d) shall apply with respect thereto as if set forth herein in full. If any New Encumbrance is a Monetary Encumbrance, Seller must satisfy same on or before the Closing subject to Section 5(d).
(h) Title and Survey Fees. Buyer shall pay for the title search and for all premiums to the Title Company attributable to the issuance of the Commitment and the Policy. Buyer shall also pay any premium, if any, attributable to special endorsements and affirmative coverages, and mortgagee’s policy of title insurance. Buyer shall pay all costs for any new or updated survey.
-9-
Section 6. Tenants; Leases; and Service Contracts.
(a) Existing Tenants and Leases. Attached hereto and made a part hereof on Exhibit B-1 is a current rent roll (the “Rent Roll”) for all Tenants. Seller agrees to provide an updated, certified Rent Roll at the Closing, accurate as of the Closing Date. During the Inspection Period, Seller shall not enter into any new leases, or amend, modify, extend, renew or terminate any existing leases without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and subsequent to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Seller shall not enter into any new leases, or amend, modify, extend, renew or terminate any existing leases without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent may be withheld in Buyer’s sole discretion (it being understood and agreed that if Buyer does not respond to Seller’s written request (made in accordance with the notice provisions of this Agreement and accompanied by the applicable documentation for which consent is sought) for consent to such a transaction within five (5) business days, Buyer’s consent shall be deemed given). In the event that Seller shall enter into any new lease, or amend, modify, extend or renew any lease, which Buyer has approved or deemed to have approved in accordance with this Section 6(a)(i), all costs for tenant improvements and leasing commissions incurred in connection with any such transaction and that have been approved by Buyer shall be pro-rated between Seller and Buyer based upon the portion of the new (or extended) lease term which falls within each party’s period of ownership.
(b) Tenant Estoppel. Seller shall obtain tenant estoppel certificates (the “Tenant Estoppel Certificates”) substantially in the form of Exhibit 6(b) from both Tenants prior to Closing. It shall be a pre-condition to Buyer’s obligation to close that Seller have obtained and delivered to Buyer the Tenant Estoppel Certificates duly executed by the Tenants. For purposes of satisfying this condition precedent, each Tenant Estoppel Certificate shall as a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to close the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, (i) be dated no earlier than the date hereof, (ii) not disclose a material default or a condition which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a default by either landlord or tenant, under the applicable Lease, and (iii) disclose no material inconsistencies or variations from the list of Leases shown on Exhibit B, the Rent Roll (Exhibit B-1), or the terms and provisions of the applicable Lease.
With respect to the delivery and receipt of Tenant’ Estoppel Certificates as provided above, Seller covenants and agrees that (a) Seller shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to Buyer for review and approval, within three (3) business days following the date of this Agreement, the Tenant Estoppel Certificates, and (b) Seller shall remit, or cause to be remitted, the Tenant Estoppel Certificates to both Tenants for signature within two (2) business days following Buyer’s notice to Seller that Buyer has approved the Tenant Estoppel Certificates prepared by Seller (which notice shall set forth any required corrections). If Buyer fails to notify Seller of its approval of, or any changes to, the Tenant Estoppel Certificates it receives from Seller for approval within two (2) business days following Buyer’s receipt of the same, Seller may forward such Tenant Estoppel Certificates to the Tenants without Buyer’s prior approval.
-10-
In addition to the foregoing, upon receipt of the executed Tenant Estoppel Certificates as provided above, Buyer shall have the right to request Seller to obtain updated Tenant Estoppel Certificates from each of the Tenants; provided, however, that receipt of such updated Tenant Estoppel Certificates by Buyer shall not be a condition to Closing, and Seller’s failure to deliver the updated Tenant Estoppel Certificates shall not constitute a default by Seller under this Agreement (Seller shall, however, use reasonable efforts to obtain the updated Tenant Estoppel Certificates from the Tenants).

(f) Current Real Estate Taxes. The adjustment for current real estate taxes shall be based upon the number of days in the calendar year in which the Closing occurs, namely, on a per diem basis, and based upon the actual amount of real estate taxes, if known at the time of Closing (based upon the periods to which they relate and are applicable and regardless when payable). If the actual amount of real estate taxes is not known at the time of the Closing, then the parties shall adjust the taxes based on the actual amount of real estate taxes for the prior year.

This provision shall survive delivery of the Deed.

Buyer shall have no liability to Seller for the Delinquent Rents and shall have no obligation to collect the Delinquent Rents. Delinquent Rents collected by Buyer from Tenants shall be applied first to current rents owed by such tenant and then to Delinquent Rents. Any such amounts applicable to Delinquent Rents received by Buyer shall be promptly forwarded to Seller. In the event that Seller receives any rent after Closing that is applicable to the period after Closing, Seller will promptly remit Buyer’s share of all such amounts to Buyer. In the event that Buyer receives any rent after Closing that is applicable to the period prior to Closing, Buyer will promptly remit Seller’s share of all such amounts to Seller.

This provision shall survive delivery of the Deed.
(h) Escalation Payments. The rental adjustments for increases in the operating expenses (including real estate taxes) of the Property or other operating charges which are payable by Tenants pursuant to the terms of their Leases (herein called “Escalation Payments”) shall be prorated effective as of Closing to the extent they have been received by Seller and adjusted in the same manner as rent to the
-14-
extent not received. Any reconciliation of Escalation Payments made by tenant on an estimated basis shall be made directly between Buyer and such tenant, and Seller and Buyer shall work cooperatively to allocate any such reconciliation between their respective periods of ownership. If, as of the Closing, Seller has received additional Escalation Payments in excess of the amount that tenants will be required to pay, based on the actual operating expenses or other operating charges as of the Closing Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing in the amount of such excess. This provision shall survive delivery of the Deed.

If, on the Closing Date, there should be one or more claims for rent past due (herein called “Delinquent Rent”) from one or more Tenants or former tenants of the Premises, then Seller reserves the right, and retains its claims, to collect following the expiration of the six (6) month period immediately following the Closing and keep such Delinquent Rent. Seller shall be entitled to receive, and may xxx any former tenant to recover, any such Delinquent Rent; provided that Seller shall not commence any action to evict or eject Tenants from the Premises; nor shall Seller cause any liens to be filed against any tenant’s leasehold estate on account of any such claim or collection action, without the prior written approval of Buyer. Any rents received by Buyer from Tenants after the Closing Date shall first be applied to amounts currently due and then to back due rents. Buyer shall promptly pay to Seller any rent from former tenants or Tenants for the period prior to the Closing Date which are due to Seller in accordance with the terms hereof, although Buyer shall not be obligated to collect the same. This provision shall survive delivery of the Deed.
(j) Tenant Security Deposits. The amount of all tenant security deposits, if any, which Seller is obligated to return to Tenants in accordance with the terms of said Leases, shall be paid or credited to Buyer at the Closing whether or not Seller is actually holding them. In the event that any security deposit is in the form of a letter of credit or other instrument, any and all costs and fees associated with the assignment or transfer of the letter of credit to Buyer shall be the sole and exclusive responsibility of the Buyer. To effect such assignment or transfer, Seller shall deliver to Buyer all such original letters of credit and provide, execute and deliver to Buyer at the Closing such instruments of assignment or transfer required pursuant to the terms of the applicable letter of credit or other instrument in order to transfer such letters of credit to Buyer. Buyer does hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller from and against any claim which may be asserted by a tenant for a security deposit that has been paid or credited to Buyer under this Agreement. This provision shall survive the delivery of the Deed.
(k) Operating Expense Charges. The amount of any gas, electric, water or other utility xxxx, the amount due on any Service Contract and any other operating expense relating to the Property and allocable solely to the period prior to the Closing Date shall be paid by Seller.

shall be estimated based upon the prior billing period and prorated on a per diem basis; Seller’s proportionate share thereof shall be credited against the Purchase Price payable at the Closing; and the entire amount of the xxxx shall be paid by Buyer after the Closing, with the amount of such operating expenses so estimated, prorated and paid being adjusted post-closing as necessary. If Seller has made any deposit with a utility company, then Seller shall be entitled to have the same refunded to it immediately after the Closing, or credited at the Closing if the deposit is transferred to the Buyer.
(l) Leasing Costs. Buyer shall be credited at Closing for the amount of all unsatisfied costs and expenses which were incurred, or are to be incurred, in connection with any and all Leases executed, modified or extended by Seller prior to the date of this Agreement, including, without limitation, all costs and expenses for tenant improvements (either completed or to be completed) and brokerage commissions (collectively, “Pre-Closing Leasing Costs”).

If Seller has engaged consultants for the purpose of protesting the amount of taxes or the assessed valuation for certain tax periods for the Property (“Protest Proceedings”), any cash refunds or proceeds actually distributed (collectively, “Cash Refunds”) will be apportioned as described below.

(i) Organization and Authority. Buyer has been duly organized and is validly existing under the laws of Delaware and at closing Buyer or its permitted assignee shall be qualified to do business in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Buyer has the full right and authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate or cause to be consummated the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. The person signing this Agreement on behalf of Buyer is authorized to do so. No consent or approval of any person or entity or of any governmental authority is required with respect to the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Buyer or the consummation by Buyer of the transactions contemplated hereby or the performance by Buyer of its obligations hereunder.
(ii) Pending Actions. To Buyer’s actual knowledge, there is no action, suit, arbitration, unsatisfied order or judgment, government investigation or proceeding pending against Buyer which, if adversely determined, could individually or in the aggregate interfere with the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
(iii) Bankruptcy. There is not pending any case, proceeding or other action seeking organization, arrangement, adjustments, liquidation, dissolution or recomposition of Buyer under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or the relief of debtors, or seeking the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or similar official for the Buyer.
(iv) Patriot Act. To Buyer’s actual knowledge, neither Buyer as an entity nor any party who has invested any money in or with Buyer or has loaned any money to Buyer (“Buyer’s Constituents”) is on the list of “Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons” maintained by the United States Treasury under the provisions of Executive Order 13224. Buyer has provided, and will after the Closing provide if required, such information and certifications as the Title Company may reasonably require to establish that Buyer and all Buyer’s Constituents are parties with whom Seller may lawfully perform Seller’s obligations under this Agreement in compliance with Executive Order 13224 and the USA Patriot Act.
Section 15. Voluntary Termination; Default; Remedies.
(a) Voluntary Termination; Release of Liability. If this Agreement is voluntarily terminated by a party pursuant to a right of termination expressly provided in this Agreement, then both parties shall, upon such voluntary termination, be automatically released from all further obligations and liability under this Agreement, except as otherwise provided herein, and the Deposit and interest accrued thereon shall be returned to Buyer.
-24-
(b) Seller’s Remedies. If Buyer fails to purchase the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then, in such event, Seller shall have the right (i) to terminate this Agreement by giving Buyer written notice of such termination, and (ii) to retain the Deposit together with interest thereon as Seller’s sole and exclusive right at law and in equity which shall be considered to be the equivalent of, and shall constitute, the payment of liquidated damages, with the amount of the Deposit and its payment being agreed upon by the parties as being a reasonable approximation of actual damages, including compensation to Seller for removing the Property from the market and reimbursement for the costs and expenses incurred by Seller; and such application and disposition shall constitute a complete release of each party from its liability under this Agreement, except as otherwise provided herein.
(c) Buyer’s Remedies. If Seller defaults in its obligations to sell and convey the Property to Buyer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, then, in such event, Buyer shall have, as its sole and exclusive remedy at law and in equity, the right, at its option, to (x) obtain specific performance of this Agreement, but no actual, consequential, or punitive damages; or (y) terminate this Agreement by giving Seller written notice of such termination, in which event the Deposit and all interest thereon shall be returned to Buyer along with a reimbursement of Buyer’s out-of-pocket expenses not to exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000); or (z) waive the default or other closing condition and proceed to consummate the transaction in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(a) Notice. Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given to a party under this Agreement shall be in writing, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, and shall be given by one of the following methods to such party at the address set forth at the end of this provision.

(b) Complete Agreement; Amendment; Waiver; Counterparts. This Agreement, including the Preliminary Statements and all attached exhibits, constitute the complete and integrated agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all previous negotiations and understandings, if any, between the parties; no oral or implied understanding, representation or warranty shall vary its terms. This Agreement may not be amended or waived other than by a written instrument executed by the parties. This Agreement or any such amendment or waiver may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be considered a duplicate original and the same instrument.
(c) Governing Law. This Agreement, the Closing Instruments and any other applicable document, including all of the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties thereunder, shall be governed, construed and enforced for all purposes in accordance with the laws of the [*Commonwealth of Massachusetts], which is where the Property is located, without regard to its conflicts of laws and rules.
(d) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, the Closing Instruments or any other applicable document should be held by a court to be invalid or unenforceable in any particular respect, then the remaining provisions of such
-26-
document (or the same provision in any other respect) shall not be invalid, unenforceable, impaired or otherwise affected, but shall continue to be in full force and effect; and to this end, all such provisions are hereby declared to be severable.
(e) Successors and Assigns; Assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. In general, Buyer shall not have the right to assign this Agreement or any interest herein without the prior written consent of Seller; provided, however, Buyer shall have the right to assign this Agreement to an affiliate which the Buyer controls or to an entity (or subsidiary of an entity) for which Buyer acts as the Investment Advisor, without Seller’s prior written consent but such assignment and the assumption by such assignee of Buyer’s obligations hereunder shall not release Buyer from its obligation or liability hereunder unless Seller shall have specifically agreed to the same. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such assignment shall be void unless Buyer notifies Seller of such assignment on the earlier of (i) ten (10) business days after the date of the assignment, or (ii) ten (10) business days prior to the Closing. Seller shall have the right to assign this Agreement or any interest herein to an entity related to Seller without Buyer’s consent, but such assignment, and assumption by such assignee, of Seller’s obligation hereunder shall not release Seller from its obligations and liability hereunder unless Buyer shall have specifically agreed to the same. Furthermore, either Seller and/or Buyer may assign its rights under this Agreement to a “qualified intermediary” in order to facilitate, at no cost ,expense or liability to the other, a like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code; provided, however, that (i) such assignment to a qualified intermediary shall not relieve either party of its respective obligations hereunder; and (ii) if Seller notifies Buyer that Seller has assigned its rights under the Agreement to a qualified intermediary, Buyer will be deemed to have satisfied Buyer’s payment obligation if Buyer wires proceeds to the qualified intermediary or to any other entity as instructed by Seller. In connection with any Section 1031 like-kind exchange, the Closing shall not be delayed and Buyer shall not be obligated to sign any document other than a simple consent.
(f) Survival. No provision of this Agreement survives delivery of the Deed, unless specifically indicated herein that a particular provision survives.
(g) Time. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of each provision of this Agreement.
(h) Confidentiality. Buyer, Seller and Broker shall maintain the confidentiality of the terms of this transaction and the contents of this Agreement, and, prior to the Closing, all documents supplied to or obtained by Buyer in connection with its due diligence of the Property, and any related documents subject to disclosure on a “need to know” basis to attorneys, clients, potential lenders, actual lenders, equity investors, accountants, architects, appraisers, engineers, contractors and consultants, or as required by applicable law or judicial process. The parties expressly confirm that this Confidentiality provision is an essential and material term of this Agreement that is intended to be enforceable by any remedies available at law or equity, including injunctive relief.
-27-
Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary in this Section 16(h), nothing contained herein shall impair Buyer’s (or its permitted assignee’s) right to disclose information relating to this Agreement or the Property (a) to any due diligence representatives and/or consultants that are engaged by, work for or are acting on behalf of, any securities dealers and/or broker/dealers evaluating Buyer or its permitted assignees, (b) in connection with any filings (including any amendment or supplement to any S-11 filing) with governmental agencies (including the SEC) by any REIT holding an interest (direct or indirect) in any permitted assignee of Buyer, and (c) to any broker/dealers in the REIT’s broker/dealer network and any of the REIT’s investors.
(i) Like-Kind Exchange. At Seller’s request, Seller may effectuate all or any part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as a like-kind exchange in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code; provided, however, that (a) Buyer incurs no additional liability, cost or expense and (b) the Closing shall not be affected by reason of any such exchange nor shall the consummation of such an exchange be a condition precedent of the Seller’s obligation under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained in any such assignment, Buyer shall not by execution of this Agreement or by participation in any such exchange (i) have its rights under this Agreement affected or diminished in any manner, (ii) be required to undertake any obligations of third parties, or (iii) be responsible for compliance nor be deemed to have warranted to the Seller whether such exchange in fact complies with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, or (iv) be obligated to sign any document other than a simple consent to effectuate a transaction of this nature.
(j) No Personal Liability. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that no trustee, beneficiary, general or limited partner, officer, director, equity owner, employee, agent, member, manager or representative of Seller (or any partner, member or manager of such a partner, member of manager) shall ever have any personal liability under this Agreement. Seller acknowledges and agrees that no general or limited partner, officer, director, member, manager, equity owner, employee or representative of Buyer (or any partner, member or manager of such a partner, member or manager) shall ever have any personal liability under this Agreement.
(k) Construction. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) each party hereto is of equal bargaining strength; (ii) each such party has actively participated in the drafting, preparation and negotiation of this Agreement; (iii) each such party has consulted with such party’s own, independent counsel, and such other professional advisors as such party has deemed appropriate, relative to any and all matters contemplated under this Agreement; (iv) each such party and such party’s counsel and advisors have reviewed this Agreement; (v) each such party has agreed to enter into this Agreement following such review and the rendering of such advice; and (vi) any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting parties shall not apply in the interpretation of this Agreement, or any portions hereof, or any amendments hereto.
(l) No Obligations to Third Parties. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall not be deemed to confer any rights upon, nor obligate any of the parties hereto, to any person or entity other than the parties hereto.
-28-
(m) Waiver. The waiver or failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any future breach of any such provision or any other provision hereof.
(n) Fees and Other Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, each of the parties hereto shall pay its own fees and expenses in connection with this Agreement.
(o) Computation of Time Periods. If the date upon which the Inspection Period expires, the Closing Date or any other date or time period provided for in this Agreement is or ends on a Saturday, Sunday or federal, state or legal holiday, then such date shall automatically be extended until 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time (standard or daylight, as applicable in Boston, Massachusetts) of the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or federal, state or legal holiday. Unless expressly indicated otherwise, all references to time shall be deemed to refer to Eastern Time and all time periods shall expire at 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time.
