Section 2.2 Purchase Price.

(a) The aggregate consideration to be paid by Buyer to Seller for the Assets (subject to adjustment as specifically provided herein) shall be Two Hundred Sixty One Million Dollars ($261,000,000) (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price shall be paid to Seller as follows:

(i) Within one (1) Business Day after the Effective Date, Buyer shall deliver to the Title Company, as escrow agent (in such capacity, “Escrow Agent”), cash in an amount equal to $2,000,000 (together with all accrued interest thereon, the “Initial Deposit”) in immediately available funds by wire transfer to the Escrow Account. The Initial Deposit shall be fully refundable to Buyer in Buyer’s sole discretion for any reason if prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, (x) Buyer delivers to Seller written notice (a “Termination Notice”) that Buyer has elected to terminate this Agreement and/or (y) Buyer fails to notify Seller in writing (a “Go-Hard Notice”) that it is waiving its termination rights under this Section 2.2. In the event that Buyer delivers a Go-Hard Notice to Seller prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, the Initial Deposit shall thereafter become nonrefundable to Buyer except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement. If the Initial Deposit is not deposited by Buyer as and when due and payable hereunder, Seller shall have the right, until the Initial Deposit is so deposited, in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion to terminate this Agreement, whereupon neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except for those that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.

Once deposited, the Additional Deposit shall become nonrefundable to Buyer except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement.

(iii) Upon Buyer’s delivery of the Go-Hard Notice to Seller, Buyer shall have been deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 2.2(a) and shall be obligated to purchase the Assets in accordance with, and

subject to, the remaining terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement. If Buyer delivers the Go-Hard Notice to Seller but fails to deliver the Additional Deposit with the Escrow Agent by 5:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time on the date that is one (1) Business Day after the end of the Due Diligence Period, then, until the Additional Deposit is so deposited, Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, and the Escrow Agent shall immediately disburse the Initial Deposit to Buyer, and upon such disbursement, Seller and Buyer shall have no further obligation under this Agreement except those obligations that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.

(iv) At the Closing, (A) Buyer shall deposit with the Escrow Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to (A) the Purchase Price, as adjusted by the terms of this Agreement minus (B) the Xxxxxxx Money.

(b) Upon delivery to Escrow Agent by Buyer, the Xxxxxxx Money will be deposited by Escrow Agent in the Escrow Account, which shall be an interest-bearing account acceptable to Buyer and Seller and shall be held in escrow in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.4. All interest earned on the Xxxxxxx Money while held by Escrow Agent shall be paid to the party to whom the Xxxxxxx Money is paid, except that if the Closing occurs, Buyer shall receive a credit for such interest in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.3 The Closing.

(b) The Closing shall be held on the Closing Date by mutually acceptable escrow arrangements. There shall be no requirement that Seller and Buyer physically attend the Closing, and all funds and documents to be delivered at the Closing shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent on or before the Closing Date unless the parties hereto mutually agree otherwise. Buyer and Seller hereby authorize their respective attorneys to execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent any additional or supplementary instructions as may be necessary or convenient to implement the terms of this Agreement and facilitate Closing of the transactions contemplated hereby, provided, however, that such instructions are consistent with and merely supplement this Agreement and shall not in any way modify, amend or supersede this Agreement.

Section 2.4 Allocated Purchase Price. Seller and Buyer hereby agree that the Purchase Price shall be allocated for federal, state and local tax purposes, and further allocated, as applicable (in accordance with the rules of Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and any similar provision of state, local or foreign law)

TITLE AND PERMITTED EXCEPTIONS

Section 8.1 Permitted Exceptions. The Property shall be sold and is to be conveyed, and Buyer agrees to purchase the Property, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions. In addition, the existence of any exclusions of coverage set forth in the Title Commitment shall not cause Buyer to have any right to terminate this Agreement. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, prior to Closing, with respect to the Property, Seller may file with the Land Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Department of the Trial Court, a “Complaint for Voluntary Withdrawal of Land from the Registration System under X.X. x. 186, Section 52”, and such filing shall be deemed a Permitted Exception hereunder for all purposes.

Section 8.2 Title Commitment; Surveys.

The Property shall be conveyed by Seller, and Buyer agrees to acquire the Property, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions. If the Title Commitment or Survey discloses exceptions to title objectionable to Buyer (“Title Objections”), Buyer shall so notify Seller prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (the “Title Objection Date”), and, subject to Section 8.3 below, Seller shall have five (5) Business Days from the date of such notice to have each such Title Objection removed or corrected or to notify Buyer that Seller does not intend to remove or correct any such Title Objection. If Seller fails to so notify Buyer, Seller will be deemed to have elected not to cure or remove the relevant Title Objections. If within such 5-day period, Seller is unable or elects not to have each such Title Objection removed or corrected as aforesaid, Seller shall so notify Buyer in writing. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of

such notice from Seller, Buyer shall elect to either (i) terminate this Agreement and immediately receive from Escrow Agent the Xxxxxxx Money whereupon this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect (except for the obligations that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement), or (ii) accept title to the Property subject to such Title Objections (with no reduction in the Purchase Price) whereupon such Title Objections shall be deemed approved and shall constitute Permitted Exceptions. If Buyer fails to timely make either such election, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected option (ii). Any matters disclosed by the Title Commitment or the Survey and not objected to by Buyer on or before the Title Objection Date shall be deemed approved by Buyer and shall constitute Permitted Exceptions; provided that in the event the Title Commitment or Survey is updated at Buyer’s request at or prior to the time of Closing (each a “Title Update” or “Survey Update” as applicable), Buyer shall have the right to make objections to any exception first reflected in a Title Update or matter first disclosed on a Survey Update during the period between expiration of the Due Diligence Period and the Closing and seek remedies in the same manner as set forth above. Seller shall be entitled to a reasonable adjournment of the Closing (not to exceed thirty (30) days) for the purpose of removing any Title Objections that it elects to remove in accordance with this Section 8.2, which removal will be deemed effected by the issuance of title insurance eliminating or insuring against the effect of such title matter.

Section 8.3 Certain Exceptions to Title; Inability to Convey.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall be obligated at Closing to cause the release of (i) any Voluntary Encumbrance created by Seller on or after the Effective Date (each, a “Post-Effective Date Voluntary Encumbrance”) and (ii) in addition to any Post-Effective Date Voluntary Encumbrance, any Lien encumbering the Property after the Effective Date that is not a Permitted Exception and may be removed by the payment of a sum of money (each, a “Post-Effective Date Monetary Encumbrance”), provided, Seller shall not be obligated to spend more than $500,000 in the aggregate to remove any Post-Effective Date Monetary Encumbrances, and provided, further, if a Post-Effective Date Voluntary Encumbrance or Post-Effective Date Monetary Encumbrance is bonded over by Seller or others at the Closing such that it is omitted from the Title Policy (or is otherwise insured over by the Title Company) then Seller shall be deemed to have satisfied the provisions of this sentence and caused the release of such Post-Effective Date Voluntary Encumbrance or Post-Effective Date Monetary Encumbrance. The parties acknowledge and agree that Seller shall have the right to apply or cause Escrow Agent to apply all or any portion of the Purchase Price to cause the release of any Post-Effective Date Voluntary Encumbrance or Post-Effective Date Monetary Encumbrance.

(b) Except as expressly set forth in Section 8.3(a), nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to require Seller to take or bring any action or proceeding or any other steps to remove any title exception or to expend any moneys therefor, nor shall Buyer have any right of action against Seller, at law or in equity, for Seller’s inability to convey title to the Property subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, other than (i) Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement and receive the return of the Xxxxxxx Money, as provided in this Agreement, or (ii) Buyer’s rights under Section 13.2(c) in the case of a default by Seller under this Agreement.

(c) Buyer agrees to purchase the Property subject to any and all Violations (other than Material Violations), without any abatement of or credit against the Purchase Price. Seller shall have no duty to remove or comply with or repair any Violations (and shall have no duty to remove or close any open building permits); provided that, as set forth in Section 5.2(e) above, it shall be a condition to Buyer’s obligation to close hereunder that the Property be free of all Material Violations as of the Closing.

Section 8.4 Title Policy.

At Closing, Buyer may arrange for the Title Company to issue, or irrevocably commit to issue, to Buyer, an extended coverage ALTA owner’s form title policy (the “Title Policy”) with respect to the Property, which shall be in the form of the Title Commitment, in the amount of the Purchase Price with respect to the Property, and insure that fee simple title to the Property is vested in Buyer subject only to the Permitted Exceptions. In such case, Buyer shall be entitled to request that the Title Company provide such endorsements (or amendments) to any Title Policy as Buyer may reasonably require, provided that (a) such endorsements (or amendments) shall be at no cost to, and shall impose no additional liability on, Seller (unless the same effect the cure of a title objection made by Buyer hereunder which Seller has agreed to cure by causing the issuance of any such endorsements), (b) Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement shall not be conditioned upon Buyer’s ability to obtain such endorsements and, if Buyer is unable to obtain such endorsements, Buyer shall nevertheless be obligated to proceed to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without reduction of or set off against the Purchase Price (provided that, if Buyer determines prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period that the same shall not be issued, Buyer shall, nonetheless, still have the right to terminate this Agreement prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period and receive a prompt refund of the Xxxxxxx Money), and (c) the Closing shall not be delayed as a result of Buyer’s request.

Section 8.5 Cooperation. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate with the Title Company in connection with obtaining title insurance insuring title to the Property subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.

Section 10.1 Rents; Parking Fees and Charges.

All minimum rent, percentage rent, additional rent and any other fees, costs and charges paid under the Space Leases by Tenants in connection with their occupancy of the Property shall be adjusted and prorated, with Seller entitled to all such rent and other amounts attributable to the period prior to the Closing Date, and Buyer entitled to all such rent and other amounts attributable to the period after the Closing Date.

Section 10.2 Taxes and Assessments.

Real estate (ad valorem) and personal property taxes are to be adjusted and prorated between Seller and Buyer as the Cut-Off Time based upon the most current official real property and personal property tax information available from the county assessor’s office where the Property is located or other assessing authorities. If such real property tax and personal property tax and assessment figures are not available, real property taxes and personal property taxes shall be prorated based on the most recent assessment and the maximum discount allowed by Applicable Law, subject to further and final adjustment (based upon the maximum discount allowed by Applicable Law) when the amount of such taxes for the Property is fixed.

With respect to any special assessments that are not payable in installments, Seller shall pay any such special assessments related to any improvement which has been Completed (as defined below) prior to the Cut-Off Time, and Buyer shall pay any such special assessments related to any improvement which has not been Completed prior to the Cut-Off Time.

With respect to electricity, telephone, television, gas, fuel, water and sewer services which are metered, trash removal and other utilities, Seller shall use reasonable efforts to have the respective companies providing such utilities read the meters on or immediately prior to the Cut-Off Time. Seller shall be responsible for all charges incurred prior to the Cut-Off Time based on such final meter readings and Buyer shall be responsible for all charges thereafter. To the extent such meters are not read at the Property and final bills are not rendered as of the Cut-Off Time, such charges with respect to the Property shall be prorated effective as of the Cut-Off Time utilizing an estimate of such charges reasonably approved by both Buyer and Seller based on prior utility bills, and any deposits or credits with respect to the foregoing services will be credited to Seller. Upon the taking of a subsequent actual reading, such apportionment shall be adjusted to reflect the actual rate for the billing period in which the Closing Date occurs, and Seller, or Buyer, as the case may be, shall promptly deliver to the other the amount determined to be due upon such adjustment.

Section 10.4 Contracts. Charges and payments under all Contracts shall be adjusted and prorated between Seller and Buyer as of the Cut-Off Time.

Section 10.5 Miscellaneous Revenues. Revenues, if any, arising out of telephone booths, vending machines, parking, or other income producing agreements shall be adjusted and prorated between Seller and Buyer as of the Cut-Off Time.

At Closing, Seller shall receive a credit in an amount equal to: (a) all amounts charged to the Guest Ledger for all room nights up to and including the night during which the Cut-Off Time occurs, less (b) one half (½) of all amounts charged to the Guest Ledger for the room night during which the Cut-Off Time occurs. In the event that an amount less than the total amount due from a guest is collected and such guest continued in occupancy after the Cut-Off Time, such amount shall be applied first to any amount owing by such Person to Seller and thereafter to such Person’s amounts accruing to Buyer. The provisions of this Section 10.7 will survive the Closing for 180 days.

Section 10.8 Consumables.

There shall be no proration for the cost of any Consumables located at the Property as of the Cut-Off Time, as the price for the same shall be deemed included in the Purchase Price.

Section 10.9 Accounts Payable.

Seller shall be responsible for all Accounts Payable (as shown on the books and records of the Properties as of the Cut-Off Time) to the extent attributable to the period preceding the Cut-Off Time. Buyer shall be charged with any prepaid Accounts Payable to the extent those Accounts Payable are attributable to the period after the Cut-Off Time. From and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall be responsible for paying when due all other accounts payable arising out of the operation of the Property from and after the Cut-Off Time.

Section 10.10 Bookings; Booking Deposits.

At the Closing, Buyer shall assume all of the obligations of Seller under the Bookings as of the Cut-Off Time, including obligations with respect to any prepaid amounts and deposits under the Booking Deposits not earned as of the Cut-Off Time, and Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price at the Closing in an amount equal to all such amounts (and, therefore, Seller shall have the right to retain any amounts relating to such items on deposit in Seller’s accounts). All prepaid amounts under the Booking Deposits for which Buyer has received credit as of the Cut-Off Time shall be the obligation of Buyer after the Closing.

Section 10.11 Sales, General Excise, Room and Occupancy Taxes. Seller shall pay all sales taxes, general excise taxes and room occupancy, hotel, resort, and use taxes due and payable with respect to the Property for the period prior to the Cut-Off Time, and Buyer shall pay all sales taxes, general excise taxes, room occupancy, hotel, resort, and use taxes due and payable with respect to the Property for the periods on and after the Cut-Off Time. Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall each pay fifty percent (50%) of all sales taxes, general excise taxes, room occupancy and use taxes due and payable with respect to the Property for the night commencing prior to and ending on the day on which the Cut-Off Time occurs. Seller shall be entitled to receive any rebates or refunds on such taxes paid by Seller prior to Closing.

Section 10.12 Retail Merchandise. There shall be no proration of the cost of the Retail Merchandise as of the Closing, the price for the same being deemed included in the Purchase Price.

Section 10.13 Cash On Hand. As reflected in Section 2.1(c)(i) below, at Closing Seller shall receive a credit in the face amount of all Cash on Hand as of the Closing.

Section 10.14 Other Adjustments.

Section 10.16 Gift Certificates.

At the Closing, Buyer shall receive a credit equal to the product of (x) 15 and (y) the average daily room rate at the Property for the 12 month period ending on the Closing Date.

If any items to be adjusted pursuant to this Article X are not determinable at the Closing, the adjustment shall be made subsequent to the Closing when the charge is determined. Any errors or omissions in computing adjustments or readjustments at the Closing or thereafter

shall be promptly corrected, and any corrective payments shall be promptly made, provided that the party seeking to correct such error or omission or to make such readjustment shall have notified the other party of such error or omission or readjustment on or prior to the date that is following the Closing. The provisions of this Section will survive the Closing without limitation and will not be deemed merged into any instrument of conveyance delivered at the Closing.

Section 10.18 Post-Closing Statement. Not earlier than ninety (90) days following the Closing and not later than one-hundred twenty (120) days following the Closing, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a post-closing statement reflecting an accounting and substantiation covering all of the prorations and other adjustments set forth in this Article X in a form and substance satisfactory to Seller (in its commercially reasonable discretion), including any year-end or similar reconciliations and a “true-up” of estimated Employee bonuses that were prorated as of the Closing. The provisions of this Article X and the obligations of Seller and Buyer hereunder shall survive the Closing until 180 days after the Closing Date.

ARTICLE XI

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 11.1 Indemnification by Seller. Following the Closing and subject to Sections 11.3, 11.4 and 11.5, Seller shall indemnify and hold Buyer and its Affiliates and its officers, directors, trustees, employees, representatives and agents (collectively, “Buyer-Related Entities”) harmless from and against any and all costs, fees, expenses, damages, deficiencies, interest and penalties (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) suffered or incurred by any such indemnified party in connection with any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses (“Losses”), arising out of or resulting from (a) any breach of any representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement or in any Closing Document and (b) any breach of any covenant of Seller contained in this Agreement or in any Closing Document which expressly survives the Closing.

Section 11.2 Indemnification by Buyer.

From and after the Closing and subject to Sections 11.3, 11.4 and 11.5, Buyer shall indemnify and hold Seller and its Affiliates, members and partners, and the members, partners, officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents of each of the foregoing (collectively, “Seller-Related Entities”) harmless from any and all Losses arising out of or resulting from (a) any breach of any representation or warranty by Buyer contained in this Agreement or in any Closing Document and (b) any breach of any covenant of Buyer contained in this Agreement or in any Closing Document, which expressly survives the Closing.

Section 11.3 Limitations on Indemnification.

Seller shall not be required to indemnify Buyer or any Buyer-Related Entities under Section 11.1, unless the aggregate of all amounts for which an indemnity would otherwise be payable by Seller under Section 11.1 exceeds the Basket Limitation. In no event shall the liability of Seller with respect to the indemnification provided for in Section 11.1 exceed in the aggregate the Cap Limitation; provided that the Basket Limitation and Cap Limitation shall not apply to Seller’s obligations under Article X or Section 15.23. If, prior to the Closing, Buyer is aware of any inaccuracy or breach of any representation, warranty or pre-closing covenant of Seller contained in this Agreement (a “Buyer-Waived Breach”) and nonetheless proceeds with and consummates the Closing, then Buyer and any Buyer-Related Entities shall be deemed to have waived and forever renounced any right to assert a claim for indemnification under this Article XI for, or any other claim or cause of action under this Agreement, whether at law or in equity, on account of any such Buyer-Waived Breach.

Section 11.4 Survival. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the representations, warranties and covenants of Seller set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement, shall survive the Closing Date for a period of 270 days (unless, with respect to any covenants that survive the Closing, a longer or shorter survival period is expressly provided for in this Agreement) and shall not be deemed merged into any instrument of conveyance delivered at the Closing. No action or proceeding thereon shall be valid or enforceable, at law or in equity, if a legal proceeding is not commenced on or before the date which is 270 days following the Closing Date (unless, with respect to any covenants that survive the Closing, a longer or shorter survival period is expressly provided for in this Agreement).

Section 11.5 Indemnification as Sole Remedy. If the Closing has occurred, the sole and exclusive remedy available to a party in the event of a breach by the other party to this Agreement or any representation, warranty, covenant or other provision of this Agreement or any Closing Document which survives the Closing shall be the indemnifications provided for under this Article XI. Neither party shall have any liability to the other party for consequential, indirect, exemplary or punitive damages resulting from any breach of any representation or warranty.

ARTICLE XII

TAX CERTIORARI PROCEEDINGS

Section 12.1 Prosecution and Settlement of Proceedings. If any tax reduction proceedings (including, but not limited to, administrative and/or judicial proceedings or appeals) in respect of the Property, relating to any fiscal years ending prior to the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs, are pending at the time of the Closing, Seller reserves and shall have the right to continue to prosecute and/or settle the same. If any tax reduction proceedings in respect of the Property, relating to the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs, are pending at the time of Closing, then Seller reserves and shall have the right to continue to prosecute and/or settle the same; provided, however, that Seller shall not settle any such proceeding without Buyer’s prior

written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Seller in connection with the prosecution of any such tax reduction proceedings.

Section 12.2 Application of Refunds or Savings. Any refunds or savings in the payment of taxes resulting from such tax reduction proceedings on account of taxes allocable to the period prior to the date of the Closing shall belong to and be the property of Seller, and any refunds or savings in the payment of taxes on account of taxes allocable to the period from and after the date of the Closing shall belong to and be the property of Buyer; provided, however, that if any such refund creates an obligation to reimburse any Tenants under Space Leases for any rents or additional rents paid or to be paid, that portion of such refund equal to the amount of such required reimbursement (after deduction of allocable expenses as may be provided in the Space Lease to such tenant) shall, at Seller’s election, either (a) be paid to Buyer and Buyer shall disburse the same to such tenants or (b) be paid by Seller directly to the Tenants entitled thereto. All attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred in obtaining such refunds or savings shall be apportioned between Seller and Buyer in proportion to the gross amount of such refunds or savings payable to Seller and Buyer, respectively (without regard to any amounts reimbursable to Tenants); provided, however, that neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any liability for any such fees or expenses in excess of the refund or savings paid to such party unless such party initiated such proceeding.

Section 12.3 Survival. The provisions of this Article XII shall survive the Closing.

ARTICLE XIII

DEFAULT

Section 13.1 Buyer Default.

(a) This Agreement may be terminated by Seller prior to the Closing if (i) any of the conditions precedent to Seller’s obligations set forth in Section 5.1 have not been satisfied or waived by Seller on or prior to the Closing Date or (ii) there is a material breach or default by Buyer in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement which breach continues beyond the earlier of (x) the Closing Date and (y) ten days after Buyer’s receipt of notice of such default.

(b) In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 13.1(a), this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect and neither party shall have any rights or obligations against or to the other except (i) for those provisions hereof which by their terms expressly survive the termination of this Agreement and (ii) as set forth in Section 13.1(c). In addition, unless Section 13.1(c) applies, Escrow Agent shall promptly refund the Xxxxxxx Money to Buyer.

(c) In the event Seller terminates this Agreement, as a result of a material breach or default by Buyer in any of its obligations under this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall immediately disburse the Xxxxxxx Money to Seller as liquidated damages and as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy therefor, and upon such disbursement Seller and Buyer shall have no further obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive such termination. Buyer and Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that it would be impractical and/or extremely difficult to fix or establish the actual damage sustained by Seller as a result of such default by Buyer, and agree that the Xxxxxxx Money is a reasonable approximation thereof and a reasonable liquidated damage to Seller upon such default by Buyer. Accordingly, in the event that Buyer breaches this Agreement by materially defaulting in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement, the Xxxxxxx Money, shall constitute and be deemed to be the agreed and liquidated damages of Seller, and shall be paid by the Escrow Agent to Seller as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy hereunder.

Section 13.2 Seller Default.

(a) This Agreement may be terminated by Buyer prior to the Closing if (i) any of the conditions precedent to Buyer’s obligations set forth in Section 5.2 have not been satisfied or waived by Buyer on or prior to the Closing Date or (ii) there is a material breach or default by Seller in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement to cause the sale of the Assets on the Closing Date which breach continues beyond the earlier of (x) the Closing Date and (y) ten days after Buyer’s receipt of notice of such default.

(b) In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 13.2(a), this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect and neither party shall have any rights or obligations against or to the other except (i) for those provisions hereof which by their terms expressly survive the termination of this Agreement and (ii) as set forth in Section 13.2(c). In addition, unless Section 13.2(c) applies, Escrow Agent shall promptly refund the Xxxxxxx Money to Buyer.

(c) If Seller shall materially default in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement to cause the sale of the Assets on the Closing Date, Buyer, at its option, as its sole and exclusive remedy, shall be entitled to (i) terminate this Agreement, direct the Escrow Agent to return the Xxxxxxx Money to Buyer and retain the Xxxxxxx Money, at which time this Agreement shall be terminated and of no further force and effect except for the provisions which explicitly survive such termination or (ii) specific performance of Seller’s duties and obligation under this Agreement; provided that such specific enforcement action must be initiated no later than 120 days following such default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event specific performance shall not be available to Buyer on account of the nature of the breach or default by Seller, then, Buyer shall be entitled to recover from Seller all third party, out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby, provided the same shall not exceed $350,000.00 in the aggregate, and Buyer may maintain an action in a court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the same and recover such costs and expenses.

ARTICLE XIV

OTHER AGREEMENTS; EMPLOYEE MATTERS

Section 14.1 Employee Matters.

(a) Employees. Buyer acknowledges that the Employees are currently employed by the Manager.

(b) Hiring of Employees. The parties intend that there will be continuity of employment with respect to certain of the Employees, as set forth below. Effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer (or its manager or Affiliate) shall offer employment at the Property to a sufficient number of Employees, including those on vacation, leave of absence, disability or layoff, who were employed by Manager at the Property on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date such that no liability under the WARN Act will be triggered in connection with the sale of the Property. Such offer of employment shall be on substantially similar terms (including compensation, salary, fringe benefits, job responsibility and location) as those provided to such Employees on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date. Those Employees who accept Buyer’s (or its manager’s or Affiliate’s) offer of employment and commence employment with Buyer (or its manager or Affiliate) on the Closing Date shall hereafter be referred to as “Transferred Employees”.

(c) Indemnity. Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller and Seller-Related Entities harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, suits, demands, proceedings, losses, expenses, damages, obligations and liabilities (including costs of collection, attorney’s fees and other costs of defense) arising out of or otherwise in respect of (i) the failure of Buyer to comply with its obligations (including, but not limited to, any statutory or contractual obligations) with respect to the Transferred Employees; and (ii) any liability relating to the Transferred Employees that is incurred on or after the Closing Date. Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold Buyer and Buyer-Related Entities harmless from and against any and all claims, suits, charges, complaints, demands, grievances, proceedings, losses, expenses, damages, obligations and liabilities (including costs of collection, attorney fees and other defense costs or disbursements) arising out of or otherwise in respect of any failure of Seller or Manager to comply with their obligations (including, but not limited to, any statutory or contractual obligations) with respect to the Employees prior to the Closing Date.

(d) WARN Act. Buyer shall not, at the Property at any time within the 90 days after the Closing Date, effectuate a “plant closing” or “mass layoff,” as those terms are defined in the WARN Act, except in conformity with the notification procedures (and related exceptions) under the WARN Act. In addition, Buyer shall provide a full defense to, and indemnify Seller and the Manager for any claims, suits, charges, complaints, demands, grievances, proceedings, losses, expenses, damages, obligations and liabilities (including costs of collection, attorney fees and other defense costs or disbursements) which Seller or Manager may

incur in connection with any suit or claim of violation brought against or affecting Seller or the Manager under the WARN Act for any actions taken by Buyer (or its manager) in such 90 day period following the Closing Date.

(e) No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Article XIV shall create any third-party beneficiary rights for the benefit of any Employee, Transferred Employee or other employees of the Property or the Manager. Buyer and Seller acknowledge that all provisions contained in Article XIV with respect to employees are included for the sole benefit of Buyer (and Buyer’s Affiliates, as applicable) and Seller (and Seller’s Affiliates, as applicable) and shall not be deemed to constitute an amendment to any employee benefit plan or create any right (i) in any other person, including any employees, former employees, or any beneficiary thereof, (ii) to continued employment with Buyer or any of its Affiliates, Manager, or any other managers or contractors following the Closing Date, or (iii) to the continuation of any employee benefit plan, employment, severance, fringe benefit, bonus, equity or equity type, or other similar benefit plan, program, arrangement or agreement.

(f) Survival. The provisions of this Section 14.4 shall survive the Closing without limitation.

(a) Buyer and Seller shall hold as confidential all information disclosed in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby and concerning each other, the Assets, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not release any such information to third parties without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, except (i) any information which was previously or is hereafter publicly disclosed (other than in violation of this Agreement or other confidentiality agreements to which Affiliates of Buyer are parties), (ii) to their partners, advisers, underwriters, analysts, employees, Affiliates, officers, directors, trustees, consultants, lenders, accountants, legal counsel, title companies or other advisors of any of the foregoing, provided that they are advised as to the confidential nature of such information and are instructed to maintain such confidentiality, (iii) to comply with any Applicable Law and the interpretation thereof by counsel to Buyer or Seller, as applicable, and (iv) in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, the parties hereto (and their employees, representatives and agents) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. federal income tax treatment and tax structure of transactions effected pursuant to this Agreement, provided, however, (y) the parties hereto (and their employees, representatives and agents) shall keep confidential any such information to the extent necessary to comply with any applicable federal or state securities law, and (z) the parties hereto agree that the tax treatment and tax structure do not include, and the parties hereto (and their employees, representatives and agents) shall keep confidential, the name of, and other identifying information regarding, any such party or transactions, including the specific economic terms of such transactions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood and acknowledged that, at any time after the Effective Date, Buyer shall have the right to make such filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the transaction

The Escrow Agent hereby acknowledges and accepts such designation and appointment and agrees to fully comply with any IRS Reporting Requirements that are or may become applicable as a result of or in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the responsibility and obligations of the Escrow Agent as the Reporting Person, Seller and Buyer hereby agree to comply with any provisions of the IRS Reporting Requirements that are not identified therein as the responsibility of the Reporting Person.

(a) The Escrow Agent shall hold the Xxxxxxx Money in escrow in an interest-bearing bank account (the “Escrow Account”).

(b) The Escrow Agent shall hold the Xxxxxxx Money in escrow in the Escrow Account until the Closing or sooner termination of this Agreement and shall hold or apply such proceeds in accordance with the terms of this Section 15.4(b).

At Closing, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be paid by the Escrow Agent to, or at the direction of, Seller. If for any reason the Closing does not occur and either party makes a written demand upon the Escrow Agent for payment of such amount, the Escrow Agent shall, within twenty-four (24) hours give written notice to the other party of such demand. If the Escrow Agent does not receive a written objection within five (5) Business Days after the giving of such notice, the Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make such payment. If the Escrow Agent does receive such written objection within such five (5) Business Day period or if for any other reason the Escrow Agent in good faith shall elect not to make such payment, the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such amount until otherwise directed by joint written instructions from the parties to this Agreement or a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. However, the Escrow Agent shall have the right at any time to interplead the Xxxxxxx Money with the clerk of the court of Suffolk County, Massachusetts. The Escrow Agent shall give written notice of such interpleader to Seller and Buyer. Upon such interpleader, the Escrow Agent shall be relieved and discharged of all further obligations and responsibilities hereunder.

(c) The parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that the Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the parties, and the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to either of the parties for any act or omission on its part, other than for its gross negligence or willful misconduct. Seller and Buyer shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against all costs, claims and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with the performance of the Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder.

(d) The Escrow Agent has acknowledged its agreement to these provisions by signing this Agreement in the place indicated following the signatures of Seller and Buyer.

Section 15.5 Successors and Assigns; No Third-Party Beneficiaries.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may assign its rights under this Agreement and/or some but less than all of its rights herein to any Affiliate without Seller’s consent, provided such Affiliate shall assume in writing all of the obligations of Buyer assigned to it thereby (it is acknowledged that Buyer is a real estate investment trust and as such, it shall be assigning the right to accept conveyance of certain of the assets to be conveyed pursuant hereto to an affiliated taxable REIT subsidiary). No assignment of this Agreement by Buyer shall relieve Buyer of its obligations hereunder.

From time to time, as and when requested by any party hereto, the other party shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as such other party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Seller shall also, upon request, supply to Buyer letters of representation to such accountants, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer and Seller. This Section shall survive Closing.

Section 15.25 Shadow Management.

Tax Claims

As part of the routine rotation of tax audits typically conducted by taxing authorities, the Massachusetts Department of Revenue is currently conducting a sales and use tax audit on Seller. Essentially all businesses operating within the state undergo these audits as a normal course of business on a rotating schedule. Historically, business can expect to be audited on a three to five year cycle. Once the audit has been concluded, should any liability exist for additional use tax or for any disallowed exemptions for periods prior to the Closing, that liability would be borne by Seller.
