8
waived objection to any such title matter and agreed to accept title subject thereto, without reduction in the Purchase Price.

Seller, in addition to its other expenses, shall pay at Closing (a) all recording charges incident to title clearing documents for the Real Property; (b) all documentary stamps, deed stamps and realty transfer taxes; and (c) one-half of the fees, costs and expenses of Escrow Agent and the costs of any taxes assessed thereon.
9. Damage or Destruction; Condemnation; Insurance.
If at any time prior to the date of Closing there is damage or destruction to the Property the cost for repair of which exceeds Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) and the Property cannot be restored to its original condition prior to Closing, or if all or any material portion of the Property is condemned or taken by eminent domain proceedings by any public
12
authority, then, at Buyer’s option, this Agreement shall terminate, and the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, and except as expressly set forth herein, neither party shall have any further liability or obligation to the other hereunder.
If there is any damage or destruction or condemnation or taking, as above set forth, and if Buyer elects not to terminate this Agreement as therein provided, then (1) in the case of a taking, all condemnation proceeds paid or payable to Seller shall belong to Buyer and shall be paid over and assigned to Buyer at Closing; and (2) in the case of a casualty, Seller shall assign to Buyer all rights to any insurance proceeds paid or payable under the applicable insurance policies, less any costs of collection and any sums expended in restoration.
10. Remedies.
10.1. Buyer Default. In the event Buyer breaches or fails, without legal excuse to complete the purchase of the Property or to perform its obligations under this Agreement, then Seller shall, as its sole remedy therefor, be entitled to receive the Deposit, plus all interest earned and accrued thereon, as liquidated damages (and not as a penalty) in lieu of, and as full compensation for, all other rights or claims of Seller against Buyer by reason of such default. Thereupon this Agreement shall terminate and the parties shall be relieved of all further obligations and liabilities hereunder, except as expressly set forth herein. Buyer and Seller acknowledge that the damages to Seller resulting from Buyer’s breach would be difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain with any accuracy, and that the liquidated damage amount set forth in this Section represents both parties’ best efforts to approximate such potential damages.
10.2 Seller Default. In the event Seller breaches or fails, without legal excuse, to complete the sale of the Property or to perform its obligations under this Agreement, Buyer may, as its sole remedy therefor, subject to the next paragraph of this Section 10.2, either (i) enforce specific performance of this Agreement against Seller, or (ii) terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Deposit, except that in the case of any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant of Seller which survives the closing, if Buyer closes, Buyer shall be entitled, as its sole remedy, to recover its actual damages therefor.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Buyer agrees that its recourse against Seller under this Agreement or under any other agreement, document, certificate or instrument delivered by Seller to Buyer, or under any law applicable to the Property or this transaction, shall be strictly limited to Seller’s interest in the Property (or upon consummation of the transaction contemplated hereunder, to the net proceeds of the sale thereof actually received by Seller), and that in no event shall Buyer seek or obtain any recovery or judgment against any of Seller’s other assets (if any) or against any of Seller’s partners (or their constituent partners) or any director, officer, employee or shareholder of any of the foregoing. Buyer agrees that Seller shall have no liability to Buyer for any breach of Seller’s covenants, representations or warranties hereunder or under any other agreement,
13
document, certificate or instrument delivered by Seller to Buyer, or under any law applicable to the property or this transaction unless the valid claims for all such breaches collectively aggregate more than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00), in which event the full amount of such valid claims shall be actionable, up to the cap set forth in the following sentence. Further, Buyer agrees that any recovery against Seller for any breach of Seller’s covenants, representations or warranties hereunder or under any other agreement, document, certificate or instrument delivered by Seller to Buyer, or under any law applicable to the Property or this transaction, shall be limited to Buyer’s actual damages not in excess of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) in the aggregate (except in the event of a breach of Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.6, as to which Buyer’s damages shall be limited to One Million Dollars ($1,000,00.00), provided that Buyer shall first have exhausted its rights and remedies under any insurance policies with respect thereto), and that in no event shall Buyer be entitled to seek or obtain any other damages of any kind, including, without limitation, consequential, indirect or punitive damages.
11. Confidentiality. Buyer agrees to keep confidential and not to use, other than in connection with its determination whether to proceed with the purchase of the Property in accordance with Section 4.4 hereof, any of the documents, material or information regarding the Property supplied to Buyer by Seller or by any third party at Seller’s request, including, without limitation any environmental site assessment reports furnished to Buyer except to Buyer’s consultants on a “need to know” basis, unless Buyer is compelled to disclose such documents, material or information by law or by subpoena. Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller from and against any and all losses, damages, claims and liabilities of any kind (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees through all appellate levels and post-judgment proceedings) arising out of Buyer’s breach of this Section 11. In the event that the Closing does not occur in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Buyer shall return to Seller all of the documents, material or information regarding the Property supplied to Buyer by Seller or at the request of Seller and all copies thereof. The provisions of this Section 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement but shall no longer be applicable following Closing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
12. Possession. Possession of the Property shall be surrendered to Buyer at Closing, subject to the rights of tenants under the Leases.

All notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be sent to the address set forth below (or such other address as a party may hereafter designate for itself by notice to the other parties as required hereby) of the party for whom such notice or communication is intended:

15.1. Obligations. Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against Escrow Agent.
15.2. Reliance. Escrow Agent may act in reliance upon any writing or instrument or signature which it, in good faith, believes, and any statement or assertion contained in such writing or instrument, and may assume that any person purporting to give any writing, notice, advice or instrument in connection with the provisions of this Agreement has been duly authorized to do so. Escrow Agent shall not be liable in any manner for the sufficiency or correctness as to form, manner and execution, or validity of any instrument deposited in escrow, nor as to the identity, authority, or right of any person executing the same, and Escrow Agent’s duties under this Agreement shall be limited to those provided in this Agreement.
15.3. Indemnification. Unless Escrow Agent discharges any of its duties under this Agreement in a negligent manner or is guilty of willful misconduct with regard to its duties under this Agreement, Seller and Buyer shall indemnify Escrow Agent and hold it harmless from any and all claims, liabilities, losses, actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity, or other expenses, fees, or charges of any character or nature, which it may incur or with which it may be threatened by reason of its acting as Escrow Agent under this Agreement; and in such connection Seller and Buyer shall indemnify Escrow Agent against any and all expenses including reasonable attorneys’ fees and the cost of defending any action, suit or proceeding or resisting any claim in such capacity.
15.4. Disputes. If the parties (including Escrow Agent) shall be in disagreement about the interpretation of this Agreement, or about their respective rights and obligations, or the propriety of any action contemplated by Escrow Agent, or the application of the Deposit, Escrow Agent shall hold the Deposit until the receipt of written instructions from both Buyer and Seller or a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction. In addition, in any such event, Escrow Agent may, but shall not be required to, file an action in interpleader to resolve the disagreement. Escrow Agent shall be indemnified for all costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees in its capacity as Escrow Agent in connection with any such interpleader action and shall be fully protected in suspending all or part of its activities under this Agreement until a final judgment in the interpleader action is received.
15.5. Counsel. Escrow Agent may consult with counsel of its own choice and have full and complete authorization and protection in accordance with the opinion of such
16
counsel. Escrow Agent shall otherwise not be liable for any mistakes of fact or errors of judgment, or for any acts or omissions of any kind, unless caused by its negligence or willful misconduct.
15.6 Interest. All deposits into the escrow shall be held by the Escrow Agent in an interest bearing account. All interest earned on the Deposit shall be deemed to be part of the Deposit and shall accrue to the benefit of Buyer except to the extent the Deposit becomes payable to Seller pursuant to Section 10.1. In such event the interest earned on the Deposit shall accrue to the benefit of the Seller.
16. Representations of Buyer. Buyer represents and warrants that:
16.1. Authority. Buyer is a corporation, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of Massachusetts and has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Buyer has been duly authorized.
16.2. No Conflict. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder on the part of Buyer does not and will not violate any applicable law, ordinance, statute, rule, regulation, order, decree or judgment, conflict with or result in the breach of any material terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge, or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Buyer by reason of the terms of any contract, mortgage, lien, lease, agreement, indenture, instrument or judgment to which Buyer is a party or which is or purports to be binding upon Buyer or which otherwise affects Buyer, which will not be discharged, assumed or released at Closing. No action by any federal, state or municipal or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau or instrumentality is necessary to make this Agreement a valid instrument binding upon Buyer in accordance with its terms.
16.3 ERISA Matters. Buyer is not: (i) a plan which is subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, nor a plan as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (each of the foregoing hereinafter referred to collectively as a “Plan”); (ii) a “governmental plan” as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA; or (iii) a “party in interest,” as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA, to a Plan, except with respect to plans, if any, maintained by Buyer, nor do the assets of Buyer constitute “plan assets” of one or more of such Plans within the meaning of Department of Labor Regulations Section 2510.3-101. Buyer is acting on its own behalf and not on account of or for the benefit of any Plan. Buyer has no present intent to transfer the Property to any entity, person or Plan which will cause a violation of ERISA. Buyer shall not assign its interest under this Agreement to any entity, person or Plan which will cause a violation of ERISA.
16.4 Source of Funds. Buyer has available to it unrestricted funds which it may use in its sole discretion to pay the full equity portion of the Purchase Price and otherwise comply with the provisions of this Agreement. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that its obligations hereunder are not contingent upon Buyer obtaining financing for the purchase of the Property.
17
17. Miscellaneous.
17.1. Assignability. Buyer may not assign or transfer all or any portion of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any other individual, entity or other person without the consent thereto by Seller. However, Buyer may assign or transfer such rights and obligations to a limited liability company which is to be controlled by principals of the Buyer and in which principals of Buyer own an interest, without Seller’s consent, but with prior notice to Seller; provided that Buyer shall remain liable for all obligations of Buyer under this Agreement. No assignment or transfer by Buyer will be permitted if such assignment or transfer would, in Seller’s opinion, cause this transaction to violate any provision of applicable law, including, without limitation, ERISA.
17.2. Governing Law; Bind and Inure. This Agreement shall be governed by the law of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, assigns and personal representatives.
17.3. Recording. This Agreement or any notice or memorandum hereof shall not be recorded in any public record. A violation of this prohibition shall constitute a material breach of Buyer, entitling Seller to terminate this Agreement.
17.4. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement.
17.5. Headings. The headings preceding the text of the paragraphs and subparagraphs hereof are inserted solely for convenience of reference and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement, nor shall they affect its meaning, construction or effect.
17.6. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
17.7. Exhibits. All Exhibits which are referred to herein and which are attached hereto or bound separately and initialed by the parties are expressly made and constitute a part of this Agreement.
17.8. Survival. Unless otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, each of the warranties and representations of Seller and Buyer shall survive the Closing and delivery of the deed and other closing documents by Seller to Buyer, and shall not be deemed to have merged therewith; provided, however, that any suit or action for breach of any of the representations or warranties set forth herein must be commenced within one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing or any claim based thereon shall be deemed irrevocably waived. Unless expressly made to survive, all obligations and covenants of Seller contained herein shall be deemed to have been merged into the deed and shall not survive the Closing.
17.9. Use of Proceeds to Clear Title. To enable Seller to make conveyance as herein provided, Seller may, at the time of Closing, use the Purchase Price or any portion thereof to clear the title of any or all encumbrances or interests, provided that provision reasonably
18
satisfactory to Buyer’s attorney is made for prompt recording of all instruments so procured in accordance with conveyancing practice in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located.
17.10. Submission not an Offer or Option. The submission of this Agreement or a summary of some or all of its provisions for examination or negotiation by Buyer or Seller does not constitute an offer by Seller or Buyer to enter into an agreement to sell or purchase the Property, and neither party shall be bound to the other with respect to any such purchase and sale until a definitive agreement satisfactory to the Buyer and Seller in their sole discretion is executed and delivered by both Seller and Buyer.
17.11. Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the Exhibits hereto set forth all of the promises, covenants, agreements, conditions and undertakings between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, inducements or conditions, express or implied, oral or written, except as contained herein. This Agreement may not be changed orally but only by an agreement in writing, duly executed by or on behalf of the party or parties against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification, consent or discharge is sought.
17.12. Lead Warning Statement. Every Buyer of any interest in residential real property on which a residential dwelling was built prior to 1978 is notified that such property may present exposure to lead from lead-based paint that may place young children at risk of developing lead poisoning. Lead poisoning in young children may produce permanent neurological damage, including learning disabilities, reduced intelligence quotient, behavioral problems and impaired memory. Lead poisoning also poses a particular risk to pregnant women. The Seller of any interest in residential real property is required to provide the Buyer with any information on lead-based paint hazards from risk assessments or inspections in the Seller’s possession and notify the Buyer of any known lead-based paint hazards. A risk assessment or inspection for possible lead-based paint hazards is recommended prior to purchase.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed and delivered this Agreement as of the date first above written.
