obligation to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser from liability
arising from Seller’s use of said roads). To the extent that
the survey work described in Section 1.1(a) reveals that water

(h) Assignment of Leases. In
the event that Seller enters into any leases of the Property prior
to Closing as described in Section 2.2(a), Seller shall assign

(i) Licenses. If and to the

ownership or operation of the Property, including, without
limitation, any permits issued by
2
the Maine
Department of Environmental Protection or the City of
Belfast.
1.2 Lease. At the time of
Closing (as defined in Section 6.1), Bank of America, N.A., as
Tenant, and Purchaser, as Landlord, shall enter into, execute and
deliver a Lease of the daycare facility upon the terms and
conditions and in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto and
incorporated by reference herein (hereinafter called the
“Lease”).
1.3 Subdivision. Seller hereby
advises Purchaser that the Land is part of a larger parcel of land.
If it is determined that Seller is required to obtain subdivision
approval from any state, regional, local or other governmental,
administrative or quasi-governmental body or agency before it can
convey the Land to Purchaser, then this Agreement shall be
contingent upon Seller’s receipt of said subdivision
approval. In such event, Seller shall submit the necessary
application and other documents required for the subdivision
approval promptly following such determination, and Seller shall
diligently prosecute said application; all costs and expense shall
be borne by Seller. Said contingency shall be deemed satisfied on
the date on which (i) the subdivision approval has been
granted to Seller on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory
to Seller and Purchaser and (ii) all applicable appeal periods
have expired without the filing of an appeal; if such subdivision
approval imposes obligations or conditions that affect either
Purchaser’s proposed use of the Property or Purchaser’s
ability to construct additional buildings on the Land, said
obligations or conditions shall be deemed unsatisfactory. The Date
of Closing shall be postponed to the fifteenth (15 th ) day after
said contingency is deemed satisfied; provided, however, if such
contingency is not deemed satisfied on or before the one hundred
eightieth (180 th ) day after the
effective date of this Agreement, then Purchaser shall have the
right, at any time thereafter, to cancel this Agreement, in which
case the Earnest Money (as defined in Section 3.1) and the
accrued interest (less the Independent Consideration, as defined in
Section 3.2) shall be returned to Purchaser and the parties
shall be released from all liability hereunder. The Independent
Consideration shall be paid to Seller.
1.4 Easements. Within
forty-five (45) days after the effective date of this
Agreement, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser, for its review and
approval, a draft of each of the easements described in
Section 1.1(d). The parties agree to negotiate such easements
in good faith. If the parties have not agreed upon the terms and
conditions of all such easements on or before the Inspection
Completion Date for any reason, then Purchaser shall have the
right, at its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement pursuant
to the provisions of Section 4.6.
2.
PURCHASE PRICE
2.1 Purchase Price . Unless
adjusted as provided in Section 2.2, the purchase price (the
“Purchase Price”) for the Property shall be SIX MILLION
ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($6,100,000.00) U.S Dollars and shall
be paid by wire transfer by Purchaser to Seller at the closing (as
defined in Section 6.1 ).
2.2 Price Adjustments.
(a) Prior to the tenth (10
th )
day preceding the Date of Closing, Seller shall seek
3
to
obtain tenants for only the following buildings: the facilities
office building; and the warehouse building. As and when Seller
identifies a prospective tenant for said buildings, Seller agrees
to promptly notify Purchaser of the prospect’s name and the
prospect’s proposed use. Before consummating any lease with a
prospective tenant, Seller shall disclose to Purchaser the identity
of the tenant (to the extent not previously disclosed), the area
proposed for leasing, the terms and conditions of the proposed
lease, and such other information as Purchaser may reasonable
request (including, without limitation, financial information).
Seller shall not grant and execute any such lease without the prior
written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Seller hereby agrees that Purchaser may
withhold its consent, and such action shall be deemed reasonable,
if (i) the proposed tenant does not have sufficient financial
worth (taking into consideration its obligations under the proposed
lease), or (ii) the rent under the proposed lease is below the
current fair market rent for comparable space, or (iii) the
term of the proposed lease is for more than five (5) years, or
(iv) the proposed tenant is a competitor; or (v) the
proposed tenant intents to use the space for manufacturing, light
manufacturing, distribution facility, or any other use or purpose
incompatible with the anticipated uses of the Property by
Purchaser, or any use that is not then permitted by the applicable
zoning ordinances; provided, however, Seller acknowledges that the
foregoing list is not intended to be a complete list and that there
are other reasons why Purchaser may withhold its consent that are
reasonable. In the event that any leases are granted by Seller
prior to the tenth (10 th ) 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.
(b) From and after the tenth (10
th )
day preceding the Date of Closing, Seller shall have no right to
seek tenants for any building on the Land.
3.

3.1 Earnest Money . Purchaser
shall deliver to the PARAGON COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE (“Escrow

Escrow Agent in an interest-bearing escrow account as Purchaser and
Seller shall direct in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement, including, without limitation the supplemental escrow
instructions set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto
and incorporated herein by reference. In the event there is a

4
Seller
shall have the option of terminating this Agreement if the Earnest
Money is not delivered to the Escrow Agent within either such
times. If the sale of the Property is consummated pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, the Earnest Money and any accrued interest
(less the Independent Consideration as defined in Section 3.2)
shall be paid to Seller and applied to the payment of the Purchase
Price. If Purchaser terminates this Agreement in accordance with
any right to terminate granted by this Agreement, the Earnest Money
and any accrued interest (less the Independent Consideration) shall
be promptly returned to Purchaser, and no party hereto shall have
any further obligations under this Agreement. If Purchaser breaches
this Agreement after Purchaser has approved the matters set forth
in Section 4 of this Agreement, and the sale of the Property
is not consummated as a result of such breach, all Earnest Money
deposited hereunder, together with all accrued interest, shall be
delivered by the Escrow Agent to Seller, and no party shall have
any further obligations under this Agreement.
3.2 Independent Consideration
. The sum of ONE HUNDRED AND NO ONE-HUNDREDTHS DOLLARS ($100.00)

other provision of this Agreement.

appraisals, engineering studies, underwriting analyses,
determinations of compliance with zoning, permitting, subdivision,
environmental and other land use laws and regulations and

the Seller, and Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller
harmless from any and all claims, damages, liabilities and costs
incurred by Seller as a result of Purchaser’s access to the
Property for the purpose of conducting any such inspections and
investigations, provided that Purchaser shall have no liability for

(c) As set forth in
Section 4.5(b) above, Purchaser shall have the right, at its
option, to cause a reputable, licensed architect or engineer to
measure the square footage of the buildings identified in
Section 1.1(b) prior to the Inspection Completion Date. If it
is determined that the aggregate square footage of such buildings
is 167,358 square feet or less or 204,549 square feet or more, then
Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a true and complete photocopy of
the measurement, and the Purchase Price shall be reduced (if the
square footage is 167,358 or less) or increased (if the square
footage is 204,549 or more) by an amount equal to the product of
$32.80 multiplied by difference between 185,954 and the actual
square footage. If Seller disputes said determination, then Seller
shall cause a reputable, licensed architect or engineer to
re-measure said buildings within ten (10) days after
Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s determination and to
deliver Purchaser a true and complete photocopy of such
re-measurement within five (5) days after said ten
(10) day period. In the event Seller fails to timely exercise
such re-measurement right or to timely notify Purchaser of such
re-measurement, then, in either case, the square footage determined
by Purchaser’s architect or engineer shall be deemed to be
the square footage of the buildings. In the event Seller timely
exercises such re-measurement right
8
and
timely notifies Purchaser of such re-measurement, the parties agree
to promptly meet to negotiate in good faith their
differences.
(d) Supplementing the foregoing,
upon receipt of Purchaser’s written request, Seller agrees to
make available to Purchaser, and its agents and representatives,
for inspection during normal business hours, copies of all other
documents and records in its possession, as determined after
reasonable investigation and/or inquiry, relating to the operation,

for information and documents relating to the Property shall be
sent to either Mark Blair or Stephen Christie of CB Richard Ellis,
and all responses from Seller to such requests shall come from
either Mark Blair or Stephen Christie of CB Richard Ellis. Seller
hereby represents to Purchaser that Mark Blair and Stephen Christie
of CB Richard Ellis are duly authorized to act for and on behalf of
Seller in connection with all due diligence requests, and Purchaser
may rely on said responses. Seller agrees to cause the foregoing
individuals to promptly response to Purchaser’s requests and
to otherwise cooperate in a commercially reasonable manner.

Seller. Purchaser shall make a good faith effort and attempt to
collect any such rents, other amounts and other income not

Purchaser set forth in this Section 6.5 shall survive the
Closing.

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

Purchaser in accordance with Maine law. Fees, if any, charged by
the Closing Attorney/Title Company shall be allocated and paid

RISK OF LOSS
7.1 Casualty . 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.
7.2 Condemnation . 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 this Section 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
8.1 Breach 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.
8.2 Breach 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.

Agreement to the Date of Closing, Seller covenants and agrees to

to the

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.

releases concerning the existence of this Agreement, the terms of

indirectly, to any person or entity any information in respect of
the Property which is obtained pursuant to this Agreement or
