Seller shall not grant and execute any such lease without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

In the event that any leases are granted by Seller prior to the tenth (10th) day preceding the Date of Closing, with prior approval of Purchaser, the Purchase Price shall be increased to reflect the increased value of the Property represented by such rental income; in calculating the increase in said value, the parties shall take into account the expenses related to such approved leases (including, without limitation, leasing commissions, tenant improvement expenses, free rent, and relocation expenses) and the party (Seller or Purchaser) financially responsible for such expenses. The parties shall negotiate in good faith to determine such price adjustments by mutual agreement.

(c) Purchaser shall pay Seller at Closing for all fuels located in tanks on the Property as of the Date of Closing at the market price per gallon paid by Seller to the company that delivered such fuel, as evidenced by a statement or receipt from such company relating to its most recent delivery.

Purchaser shall make a good faith effort and attempt to collect any such rents, other amounts and other income not apportioned at the Closing for the benefit of Seller.
This agreement of Seller and Purchaser set forth in this Section 6.5 shall survive the Closing.
6.6Possession. Possession of the Property shall be delivered to Purchaser at Closing, subject to the Permitted Exceptions, in a “broom-clean” condition, free all occupants, licensees, and tenants with the exception of (i) those tenants granted leases prior to closing as described in Section 2.2(a) and (ii) Bank of America, N.A., which shall be a tenant granted possession of the daycare facility pursuant to the Lease Agreement attached to this Agreement asExhibit “D”, and free of all personal property of Seller that is not included in this sale, and substantially in the same condition as at the effective date of this Agreement, excepting reasonable wear and tear. During the forty-eight hour period preceding the Date of Closing, Purchaser shall have the right to inspect the Property to confirm the foregoing.
6.7Closing Costs. Notwithstanding any local custom or practice, closing costs shall be allocated and paid as follows: Purchaser shall pay all of Purchaser’s costs and expenses, including but not limited to, its attorney’s fees, survey costs, fees for title examination and preparation of title abstract or certificate of title, the costs, if any, for title insurance in connection with the purchase of the Property by Purchaser, the cost for all due diligence inspections and investigations and the cost of preparation of the settlement statement. Seller shall pay all of its costs and expenses in connection with the sale of the Property to Purchaser, including but not limited to, the survey expense described in Section 1.1(a) and its attorney’s fees. Transfer taxes shall be allocated and paid one-half by Seller and one-half by Purchaser in accordance with Maine law. Fees, if any, charged by the Closing Attorney/Title Company shall be allocated and paid one-half by Seller and one-half by Purchaser.
7.RISK OF LOSS
7.1Casualty. All risk of loss to the Property prior to the Date of Closing shall be borne by Seller. In the event of any damage to or destruction to the Property or any part thereof due to fire or any other cause or hazard, Seller shall promptly give notice thereof to Purchaser describing such damage and setting forth the estimated cost of restoring the Property to the condition that existed prior to such occurrence (“Restoration”), as determined by a reputable, independent architect licensed in the State of Maine that is reasonably satisfactory to both parties. If the estimated cost of Restoration is equal to or
16
less than $100,000.00, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, Purchaser shall close title on the Date of Closing and shall pay the entire Purchase Price, but Purchaser shall be entitled to a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the estimated cost of Restoration. If the estimated cost of Restoration is more than $100,000.00, then Purchaser may either (a) terminate this Agreement or (b) consummate the Closing, in which latter event Purchaser shall be entitled to a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the estimated cost of Restoration. If Purchaser exercises its termination right, then the Earnest Money Deposit and accrued interest (less the Independent Consideration) shall be returned to Purchaser and the parties shall be released from all liability hereunder. The Independent Consideration shall be paid to Seller.
7.2Condemnation. If, prior to Closing, the Property or any part thereof is taken, or any action is initiated or threatened to take any of the Property, by eminent domain proceedings or by deed in lieu thereof, Purchaser shall have ten (10) business days from receipt of written notice of such event from Seller to advise Seller that it intends to (a) terminate this Agreement or (b) consummate the Closing, in which latter event the award of the condemning authority shall be assigned to Purchaser at the Closing. If Seller does not receive any such notice from Purchaser within such ten (10) day period, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected option (b) of thisSection 7.2. If Purchaser exercises its termination right, then the Earnest Money Deposit and accrued interest (less the Independent Consideration) shall be returned to Purchaser and the parties shall be released from all liability hereunder. The Independent Consideration shall be paid to Seller.
8.DEFAULT
8.1Breach by Seller. If Seller breaches this Agreement, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement and thereupon shall be entitled to the immediate return of the Earnest Money, together with all accrued interest thereon (less the Independent Consideration) or seek specific performance of this Agreement as its sole and exclusive remedy and relief hereunder. In no event shall Seller be liable to Purchaser for any actual, punitive, speculative, consequential or other damages.
8.2Breach by Purchaser. If Purchaser breaches this Agreement, Seller shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement and retain the Earnest Money and all interest accrued thereon, if any, as liquidated damages (and not as a penalty) as Seller’s sole remedy and relief hereunder. Seller and Purchaser have made this provision for liquidated damages because it would be difficult to calculate on the date hereof the amount of actual damages for such breach, and these sums represent reasonable compensation to Seller for such breach. . In no event shall Purchaser be liable to Seller for any actual, punitive, speculative, consequential or other damages.
9.OPERATING COVENANT
From the effective date of this Agreement to the Date of Closing, Seller covenants and agrees to (i) continue to operate, manage and maintain the Property in a manner consistent with its current management practices, (ii) perform when due all of Seller’s obligations under any service contracts, agreements, permits, and the like relating to the
17
Property, (iii) not enter into any extension or modification of any Service Contract that will extend the term thereof beyond the Date of Closing or enter into any new service contract, supply contract, maintenance agreement, management agreement, brokerage agreement or other such contract with respect to the Property, (iv) continue to cause Bank of America to self-insure the Improvements in the same manner as done on the effective date of this Agreement, and (v) deliver to Purchaser, within a reasonable period of time after receipt thereof, a true and complete photocopy of any and all notices, claims, demands, citations, lawsuits, correspondence and other communications relating to the Property received by Seller from any federal, state, regional, local or other governmental, administrative or quasi-governmental body or agency, or from any person or entity, if such document relates to a violation of any law, ordinance, rule, regulation or order affecting the Property or of any matters of record, or if such document alters any of the representations contained in this Section 5.2. On the Date of Closing, the roof of each building on the Land shall be water tight and otherwise free from all water leaks, and all heating, ventilation and air conditioning fixtures and equipment located in each building on the Land shall be in good working order.
10.CONFIDENTIALITY
10.1Non-Disclosure. From and after the Effective Date of this Agreement, unless with the prior written consent of the other party or otherwise required by law, neither Purchaser nor Seller shall prior to the Closing (i) make or permit to be made any announcements or press releases concerning the existence of this Agreement, the terms of the purchase of the Property or any other information concerning this Agreement or the transaction contemplated herein or (ii) disclose or permit to be disclosed, directly or indirectly, to any person or entity any information in respect of the Property which is obtained pursuant to this Agreement or through any inspection of the Property or records concerning the Property, except as provided in Section 10.2.
10.2Limited Disclosure to Advisors. Each party shall have the right to disclose information in respect of the Property to its attorneys, accountants, consultants, prospective lenders, directors, officers, and shareholders so long as they agree to be bound by the terms of this Section 10.
11.MISCELLANEOUS
11.1Notice. Whenever this Agreement requires or permits any delivery, consent, approval, notice, request, or demand from one party to the other (collectively “Notice”), such Notice must be in writing to be effective and shall be effective on the date of actual receipt of such Notice by the addressee or when the attempted initial delivery is refused or when it cannot be made because of a change of address of which the sending party has not been notified.

Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant as reasonably requested by Tenant in the conduct of the audit. Upon the completion of such audit, the Statement for the audited period shall be adjusted accordingly.

Supplementing the foregoing, any request for such certificate by either party shall be accompanied by a written certificate executed by the requesting party stating whether there are any then known defaults under this Lease by the other party then existing, and if so, describing said defaults.
Article 20 – Default
Section 20.01. If any of the following Events of Default shall occur, Tenant shall be deemed in default of this Lease: (a) if Tenant shall fail to pay any Rent or other sum when and as the same becomes due and payable and such failure shall continue for more than ten (10) days after Tenant’s receipt of written notice thereof; (b) if Tenant shall fail to perform any of Tenants other obligations under this Lease and such failure shall continue for more than thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof;provided,however, that if such cannot reasonably be performed within such thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall have such additional time (not to exceed 90 days) as is reasonably necessary to perform such obligation; or (c) if Tenant shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due, file a petition in bankruptcy, have an order of relief entered against it, or file or have filed against Tenant a petition seeking any reorganization, receivership, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation; provided that any such petition or order which is dismissed or lifted within 180 days of filing shall not be deemed an Event of Default.
Section 20.02. This Lease and the Term and estate hereby granted are subject to the limitation that whenever an Event of Default shall have happened and be continuing, Landlord shall have the right, at its election, then or thereafter while any such Event of Default shall continue, to exercise any remedies available to Landlord at law and equity, including without limitation, the remedy of forcible entry and detainer, and Landlord lawfully may, immediately or at any time thereafter, (i) without demand or notice, mail a notice of termination to Tenant, or (ii) upon ten (10) days prior written notice, enter into and upon the Premises or any part thereof in the name of the whole and repossess the same as of its former estate, and expel Tenant and those claiming through or under it and remove it or their effects without being deemed guilty of any manner of trespass, and without prejudice to any remedies which might otherwise by used for arrears of rent or preceding breach of covenant, and upon such mailing or entry as aforesaid, this Lease shall terminate; and Tenant covenants and agrees, notwithstanding any entry or re-entry by Landlord, whether by summary proceedings, termination, or otherwise, that Tenant shall, as of the date of such termination, immediately be liable for and pay to Landlord all Rent then due and payable and all Rent due for the remainder of the Term (discounted to present value). In addition, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, as damages for any above described breach, all reasonable costs of reletting the Premises including real estate commissions and cost of renovating the Premises to suit any new tenant.
46
In the event that Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease, Landlord may, at its sole discretion, and for so long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover all Rent and other payments as they become due hereunder. Additionally, Landllord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all reasonable costs of maintenance and preservation of the Premises, and all costs, including reasonable attorneys’ and receiver’s fees, incurred in connection with the appointment of or performance by a receiver to protect the Premises and Landlord’s interest under this Lease.
Section 20.03. Upon the termination of this Lease pursuant to Sections 20.01 and 20.02, Tenant shall nevertheless remain liable for all Rent then due and payable hereunder as of the date of the termination of this Lease, and all reasonable costs, fees and expenses incurred by Landlord in pursuit of, or in the collection of its remedies hereunder or under any law, (all such rent, costs, fees and expenses being referred to herein as the “Termination Damages”). Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate the Termination Damages.
Section 20.04. Other than its duty to mitigate damages, nothing contained in this Lease shall, however, limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove for and obtain in proceedings under any federal or state laws relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or reorganization or arrangement by reason of the termination of this Lease, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, the damages are to be proved, whether or not the amount be greater than the amount of the loss or damages referred to above.
Section 20.05. In the event of Landlord’s failure to pay any sum or sums which Landlord is obligated to pay and the non-payment of which may result in a charge or encumbrance upon or interfere with the conduct of Tenant’s business in the Premises, or in the event of Landlord’s failure to perform any agreement or obligation on its part to be performed hereunder, in addition to any other remedies in this Lease or at law, Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, (a) if no emergency exits, to make such payment or perform such obligation after giving thirty (30) days written notice to Landlord and Landlord has not cured the same within such thirty (30) day period; and (b) in any emergency situation to make such payment or perform such obligation immediately upon written or oral notice if prior notice is practicable – otherwise, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice thereof as soon thereafter as practicable. Landlord shall on demand reimburse Tenant for the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in making such payment or performing such obligation as aforesaid, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, failing which, Tenant shall have the right to deduct such sums from the next installments of Base Rent due hereunder (provided, however, such deduction shall not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the Base Rent). Nothing herein contained shall preclude Tenant from proceeding to collect the amount so paid by it without waiting for rental offsets to accrue. No deduction of rent hereunder shall constitute a default unless Tenant fails to pay such amount to the Landlord within thirty (30) days after final adjudication of a court of competent jurisdiction that such amount is owing to Landlord. In the event the Lease is rejected in connection with any bankruptcy
47
proceeding, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease effective upon written notice to Landlord.
Section 20.06. The waiver by either party of any default shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default under the same, or under any other term, covenant or condition of this Lease. The subsequent acceptance of any Rent by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding default by Tenant under any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding default at the time of acceptance of such Rent.
Section 20.07 Landlord hereby waives any lien for any rent it has against the Tenant or Tenant’s property in the Premises, except for any judgment lien that may hereafter arise in favor of Landlord.
Article 21 – Return of Premises; Holdover
Section 21.01. At the expiration or other termination of the Term, Tenant shall remove from the Premises its Personal Property and those Alterations to which Landlord has elected to relinquish its rights to, and will peaceably yield up to Landlord the Premises in as good condition in all respects as the same were at the commencement of this Lease, except for ordinary wear and tear, damage by the elements, by fire or other casualty, by any exercise of the right of eminent domain or by any public or other authority.
Section 21.02. If Tenant holds over possession of the Premises beyond the expiration of the Term, such holding over shall not be deemed to extend the Term or renew this Lease but such holding over shall continue upon the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease except that Tenant agrees that the charge for use and occupancy of the Premises for each calendar month or portion thereof that Tenant holds over (even if such part shall be one day) shall be a liquidated sum equal to the following: (i) during the period from the first (1st) day of such holding over to the thirtieth (30th) day of such holding over, inclusive, one-twelfth (1/12th) of one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent and Additional Rent required to be paid by Tenant during the final lease year of the Term; (ii) during the period from the thirty-first (31st) day of such holding over to the sixtieth (60th) day of such holding over, inclusive, one-twelfth (1/12th) of one hundred seventy-five percent (175%) of the Base Rent and Additional Rent required to be paid by Tenant during the final lease year of the Term; and (iii) from and after the sixty-first (61st) day of such holding over, one-twelfth (1/12th) of two hundred percent (200%) of the Base Rent and Additional Rent required to be paid by Tenant during the final lease year of the Term. Since the damage to Landlord resulting from any failure by Tenant to timely surrender possession of the Premises will be impossible to accurately measure and will likely exceed the amount of the monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent payable hereunder, the parties recognize and agree that the aforesaid liquidated sum is fair and just compensation for the period of such holdover, and it is not a penalty. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed as a consent by Landlord to the occupancy or possession by Tenant of the Premises beyond the expiration of the Term, and Landlord, upon said expiration, shall be entitled to the benefit of all legal remedies that now may be
48
in force or may be hereafter enacted relating to the immediate repossession of the Premises. The provisions of this Section 21.02 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.
