damage to all or any portion of the Property, to undertake investigation and testing on the Property of soil and site conditions, the building structure and mechanical systems, zoning, permitting, title and environmental matters and such other matters as Buyer deems relevant and material, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (any such investigation and testing, collectively, the “Testing”). Buyer shall permit Seller or Seller’s representatives to be present during any Testing. The Testing may be performed by Buyer’s or its lender’s agents, employees, contractors, attorneys, engineers or other consultants (any such party, a “Buyer Consultant”). Copies of any reports, testing results, or other data or information produced by Buyer’s investigation of the Property (collectively, “Reports”) will promptly be provided to Seller.

8.1.1 Environmental Testing. Buyer agrees to provide to Seller for Seller’s prior approval the scope of any proposed Testing with respect to Hazardous Materials (as hereinafter defined) (any such testing, the “Environmental Testing”). Seller’s approval of the proposed scope of any Environmental Testing shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If Buyer takes any samples from the Property in connection with any Environmental Testing, Seller shall be permitted to take split samples, and Buyer shall provide to Seller a portion of any sample being tested to allow Seller, if Seller so chooses, to perform its own testing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not be required to seek approval or consent for a Phase I environmental report.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Hazardous Materials” shall mean and include those substances defined in 42 U.S.C.

(telephone no.: 000-000-0000) and Xxxxx Xxxxxx, and, at Seller’s sole election, Seller, not Buyer or any Buyer Consultant, shall give such notification as Seller deems appropriate. If Seller does not so notify such governmental authority in a timely manner after such notice, Buyer or a Buyer Consultant may do so, but only if required by law to make such disclosure.

8.1.3 Interference; Damage. The Testing shall be performed so as to minimize interference with the operation and use of the Property and so as not to cause any material damage to all or any portion of the Property. Buyer shall, in a timely manner, at its sole cost and expense, restore any damage to the Property caused by Buyer or any Buyer’s Consultant, to substantially the same condition that existed immediately prior to the Testing, provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not be obligated to remediate any discovery or release of Hazardous Material on the Property unless such release or the spread or migration of such release is caused by the negligence of Buyer or Buyer’s Consultant.

Any Testing which involves roof, floors, or structural tests, or work that is either physically intrusive or requires subsurface investigations, will be subject to Seller’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Such Testing shall be performed in accordance with any reasonable instructions, rules and regulations which Seller may impose or require.

8.1.4 Indemnity for Entry. Buyer assumes all risks associated with its entry, the Testing, and any other activity hereunder, and agrees to defend, indemnify and save Seller, its officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, affiliates, invitees and guests, and Mercury Computer, Inc., its officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, affiliates, invitees and guests, harmless from and against any and all debts, liens, losses, liabilities, costs, fines, penalties (including, without limitation, court costs, attorneys’ fees and expert witness fees), expenses, damages, claims, demands, causes of action, cost recovery actions, administrative orders or notices and consent agreements (collectively, “Liability”) caused by the entry or activities of Buyer or any of its agents, employees, contractors, consultants or other representatives on or at the Property.

The Confidential Information will be kept confidential by Buyer; provided, however, that Buyer may disclose the Confidential Information or portions thereof (i) to those Buyer Consultants and prospective lenders or partners of Buyer, together with their attorneys and consultants (collectively, “Investors”) who need to know such information for the purpose of evaluating the Property (it being understood that prior to such disclosure those Buyer

Consultants will be informed of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and shall use reasonable efforts to cause each of Buyer’s Consultants to comply with the terms of this Agreement) and to governmental or regulatory officials or authorities who need to know such information for the purpose of evaluating Buyer’s proposed redevelopment plans for the Property, (ii) as any governmental agency or stock exchange may require in order to comply with applicable laws or regulations (including securities laws applicable to Buyer), (iii) as may be required for Buyer to conduct any arbitration or litigation proceedings with Seller or (iv) as otherwise required by law or applicable legal process; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to authorize Buyer to disclose confidential information beyond the minimum extent required for the purposes described in clauses (i) through (iv) above. Information that is available publicly and obtained independently by Buyer from third parties other than Seller, or any officer, employee, agent, or representative of Seller, or from the Testing, shall not be deemed to constitute “confidential information” for purposes of this Subsection 8.7.1. Buyer will not, and will direct Buyer’s Consultants not to, disclose to any person the Confidential Information without prior written consent of Seller, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Buyer agrees to use diligent efforts to cause Buyer’s Consultants to comply with the terms of this Agreement.

8.7.2 Accuracy and Completeness of Evaluation Material, Testing, and Reports. Except as may be provided to the contrary herein, Buyer understands and acknowledges that the Seller Parties have not made and shall not make any representations or warranties, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of any Evaluation Material, Testing and Reports. Except as may be provided to the contrary herein, the Seller Parties shall have no liability to Buyer or any of Buyer’s Consultants or any other persons resulting from the use of the Evaluation Material, Testing and Reports.

8.7.3 Legal Requirements. In the event that Buyer or any of Buyer’s Consultants or Investors receives a request to disclose all or any part of the Confidential Information under the terms of a subpoena, order, civil investigative demand or similar process issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a governmental body or regulatory authority, Buyer or such Buyer’s Consultant or Investor shall: (i) notify Seller promptly in writing of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such a request known to Buyer or Buyer’s Consultant or Investor, as the case may be, (ii) use reasonable efforts to consult with Seller as to the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request, (iii) if disclosure of such information is required, furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which Buyer or Buyer’s Consultant or Investor is legally compelled to disclose, and (iv) use reasonable efforts to cooperate with any action by Seller to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information. Seller will reimburse Buyer or Buyer’s Consultant or Investor, as the case may be, for Buyer’s and Buyer’s Consultant’s or Investor’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in complying with clauses (ii-iv) above. No disclosure of Confidential Information pursuant to subpoena or other legal process or otherwise pursuant to any other law, regulation or rule shall constitute a breach of this Agreement, so long as Buyer or Buyer’s Consultant or Investor, as the case may be, has reasonably complied with the requirements of this Subsection 8.7.3. In addition, the Confidential Information may be submitted as evidence in any legal proceeding between Seller and Buyer.

8.7.4 Disposition. The limited and sole purpose of the transmission of the Evaluation Material and all other Confidential Information is exclusively for the purpose of Buyer evaluating the Property. If the transaction contemplated under this Agreement is not consummated by Buyer, Buyer and Buyer’s Consultants shall promptly return to Seller all hard copies of the Evaluation Material and other Confidential Information provided to Buyer by Seller. Notwithstanding the return of the Evaluation Material and other Confidential Information, Buyer and Buyer’s Consultants shall continue to be bound by Buyer’s confidentiality obligations hereunder if the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is not consummated by Buyer.

8.7.5 Survival. Without limiting the generality of Section 12.3, the confidentiality requirements of this Article 8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of five (5) years.

ARTICLE 10

FAILURE OF PERFORMANCE

10.1 Seller’s Remedies. If, on the Closing Date, (i) any Buyer’s material representations or warranties are untrue in any material respect, or (ii) Buyer defaults in its obligation to purchase the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or other material obligations (and Buyer’s breach or default is not excused by any failure or default or inability to perform of Seller), and any such circumstance described in either clauses (i) or (ii) continues for five (5) Business Days after written notice from Seller to Buyer, which written notice shall detail such default, untruth or failure, as applicable, then, unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Seller may elect, as its sole remedy therefor, to (x) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Buyer, or (y) waive such default or condition and proceed to close the Transaction in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If Seller so elects to terminate this Agreement, then Seller shall be immediately entitled to the Deposit, together with all interest accrued thereon, as liquidated damages, and thereafter neither party to this Agreement shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, other than any arising under any provision herein which expressly provides that it survives the termination of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in such event Seller shall not have any right to commence or pursue any action or proceeding against Buyer for specific performance or damages in excess of the Deposit. The amount of liquidated damages set forth in this Section 10.1 shall be for all loss, damage and expense suffered by Seller as a result of such default, including, without limitation, the loss of its bargain, it being agreed that Seller’s damages are difficult if not impossible to ascertain.

10.2 Buyer’s Remedies. If, on the Closing Date (i) any of Seller’s material representations or warranties are untrue in any material respect, or (ii) Seller defaults in its obligation to sell the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or Seller or Mercury defaults in any other material obligation (and Seller’s breach or default is not excused by any failure or default or inability to perform of Buyer), and any such circumstance described in either of clauses (i) or (ii) continues for five (5) Business Days after written notice from Buyer to Seller, which written notice shall detail such default, untruth or failure, as applicable, then, unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Buyer may elect, as its sole remedy, to (x) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, promptly after which the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, (y) waive such default or condition and proceed to close the Transaction in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price, or (z) seek specific performance of this Agreement. In the event that this Agreement is terminated as provided in (x), after the Deposit is returned, neither party to this Agreement shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, other than any arising under any provision herein which expressly provides that it survives the termination of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in such event Buyer shall not have any right to commence or pursue any action or proceedings against Seller for damages. Nothing herein shall prevent Buyer from bringing any claim for fraud.

ARTICLE 11

CONDEMNATION/CASUALTY

11.1 Condemnation.

11.1.1 Right to Terminate. If, prior to the Closing Date, all or any significant portion (as hereinafter defined) of the Property is taken by eminent domain (or is the subject of a pending or threatened taking which has not yet been consummated), Seller shall notify Buyer of such fact promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof, and Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving notice to Seller not later than ten (10) days after the giving of Seller’s notice (and Closing will be delayed). For purposes hereof, a “significant portion” of the Property shall mean a portion (a) that has a value in excess of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), or (b) the loss of which will have a material adverse effect on the operation of the Property, access to or parking at the Property, or the Lease to Mercury. If Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, the provisions of Section 11.4 shall apply.

11.1.2 Assignment of Proceeds. If (i) Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid in the event all or any significant portion of the Property is taken, or if (ii) a portion of the Property having a value not in excess of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) and not causing a material adverse effect on access to or the operation of the Real Property or Buyer’s proposed redevelopment thereof is taken by eminent domain or becomes subject to a pending taking, there shall be no abatement of the Purchase Price; provided, however, that, at the Closing, Seller shall pay to Buyer the amount of any award for or other proceeds on account of such taking which may have been paid to Seller prior to the Closing Date as a result of such taking, and Seller shall assign to Buyer at the Closing (without recourse to

Seller) the rights of Seller to all awards for the taking of the Property or such portion thereof and Buyer shall be entitled to receive and keep the same. Seller shall cooperate with Buyer, at no out-of-pocket expense to Seller, in the processing of the claim for such award. Seller shall not accept or make any settlement with respect to any award for any such taking without Buyer’s prior written consent.

11.1.3 Termination of the Lease. Notwithstanding any terms of Section 11.1 to the contrary, if any condemnation of the property would permit Mercury to terminate the Lease or materially reduce rental payments and Mercury fails to waive such rights in writing prior to Closing, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of such election to Seller. Closing shall be reasonably delayed to permit the parties to ascertain the extent of damage to any portion of the Property.

11.2 Destruction or Damage.

11.2.1 Insured Casualty: Less than $500,000. In the event the Property is damaged or destroyed prior to the Closing Date and such damage or destruction (a) is caused by an insured casualty and (b) would cost less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) to repair or restore, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and Buyer shall acquire the Property upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. In such event, Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the deductible amount applicable under Seller’s casualty insurance policy (less all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, payable to third parties and incurred by Seller prior to the Closing Date in connection with the negotiation and settlement of the casualty claim (“Realization Costs”)), and Seller shall assign to Buyer all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all proceeds of insurance on account of such damage or destruction; provided, if processing of the claim by Seller is necessary to maximize the recovery from the insurance carrier, Seller will process the claim and in all events cooperate with Buyer in the processing thereof at no out-of-pocket expense to Seller. Further, in such event Seller shall keep Buyer informed about and permit Buyer to participate in negotiation and settlement of the claim.

11.2.2 Insured Casualty: $500,000 or More. In the event the Property is damaged or destroyed prior to the Closing Date by insured casualty and the cost of repair or restoration would equal or exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this section, Buyer shall have the right, at its election, either (i) to terminate this Agreement or (ii) proceed to close the Transaction in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Buyer shall have fifteen (15) days after Seller notifies Buyer that a casualty has occurred to make such election by delivery to Seller of a written election notice (the “Election Notice”). The failure by Buyer to deliver the Election Notice within such fifteen (15) day period shall be deemed an election not to terminate this Agreement. In the event Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement as set forth above, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and at the Closing Seller shall assign to Buyer all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all proceeds of insurance on account of such damage or destruction, and Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the deductible amount under Seller’s casualty insurance policy.

11.2.3 Uninsured Casualty. In the event the Property is damaged or destroyed prior to the Closing Date and such damage or destruction (a) is caused by an uninsured casualty and (b) would cost less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) to repair or restore, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and Buyer shall acquire the Property upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. In such event, Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the amount required to repair such damage or destruction. In the event the Property is damaged or destroyed prior to the Closing Date by uninsured casualty and the cost of repair or restoration would equal or exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500.000), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this section, Buyer shall have the right, at its election, either (i) to terminate this Agreement or (ii) proceed to close the Transaction in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Buyer shall have thirty (30) days after Seller’s notice to Buyer of the casualty to make such election by delivery to Seller of a written election notice (the “Notice of Election”). The failure by Buyer to deliver the Notice of Election Notice within such thirty (30) day period shall be deemed an election not to terminate this Agreement. In the event Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement as set forth above, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and at the Closing Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the amount required to repair such damage or destruction but in no event shall such credit exceed Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000).

11.2.4 Termination of Lease. Notwithstanding any terms of Section 11.2 to the contrary, if any damage or destruction of the Property or any portion thereof would permit Mercury to terminate the Lease or materially reduce rental payments, and Mercury fails to waive such rights in writing prior to Closing, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of such election to Seller. Closing shall be reasonably delayed to permit the parties to ascertain the extent of damage to any portion of the Property.

11.3 Insurance. Seller shall maintain the property insurance coverage currently in effect for the Property through the Closing Date, which is described in Exhibit 10 attached hereto. Seller shall not be obligated to assign to Buyer any insurance policies in connection with the Property at the Closing.

11.4 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 11.1 or Section 11.2, the Buyer’s Title Company shall promptly return the entire Deposit to Buyer. Upon such return, this Agreement shall terminate and neither party to this Agreement shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder other than any arising under any provision herein which expressly provides that it shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

11.5 Waiver. The provisions of this Article 11 supersede the provisions of any applicable statutory or decisional law with respect to the subject matter of this Article 11.

ARTICLE 12

MISCELLANEOUS

12.1 Buyer’s Assignment. Buyer shall not assign this Agreement or its rights hereunder to any individual or entity without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and any such assignment undertaken without such consent shall be null and void.

Section 6045(e) of the United States Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Reporting Requirements”) require an information return to be made to the United States Internal Revenue Service, and a statement to be furnished to Seller, in connection with the Transaction.

(c) Buyer’s Title Company hereby requests Seller to furnish to Buyer’s Title Company Seller’s correct taxpayer identification number.

(iii) 191 Riverneck, LLC—Taxpayer ID # 00-0000000.

(d) Each of the parties hereto shall retain this Agreement for a period of four (4) years following the calendar year during which Closing occurs.

12.3 Survival; Merger. None of the terms of this Agreement shall survive the Closing, except for the provisions of this Agreement which expressly state that they are to survive the Closing. The delivery of the Deeds and any other documents and instruments by Seller and the acceptance thereof by Buyer shall effect a merger, and be deemed the full performance and discharge of every obligation on the part of Buyer and Seller to be performed hereunder, except for the obligations on the part of Buyer and Seller under the provisions of this Agreement which expressly state that they are to survive the Closing.

12.4 Integration; Waiver. This Agreement, together with the Exhibits hereto, embodies and constitutes the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated herein, and all prior agreements (including, without limitation, any letters of intent), understandings, representations and statements, oral or written, are merged into this Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, modified, amended, discharged or terminated except by an instrument signed by the party against whom the enforcement of such waiver, modification, amendment, discharge or termination is sought, and then only to the extent set forth in such instrument. No waiver by either party hereto of any failure or refusal by the other party to comply with its obligations hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of any other or subsequent failure or refusal to so comply.

12.5 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to conflict of laws principles.

12.6 Captions Not Binding; Exhibits.
