(e)    Remedies.  If any of the conditions of Paragraphs 7(a)-(d) are not met, or Seller cannot satisfy any representation in Paragraph 14, Buyer, at Buyer’s sole option, may (i) waive any and all of these conditions or objections and proceed to the closings, (ii) extend the closing dates another sixty (60) days or for such reasonable periods of time as may be necessary for Seller to satisfy the conditions or objections, (iii) negotiate in good faith with Seller to establish an equitable adjustment of the purchase price based on the deficiency or defect or (iv) terminate this Agreement, whether or not extended, in which event the obligations of the parties to one another shall cease.

(c)    Nonforeign Person Affidavit.  If applicable, such affidavits and certificates, in form reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, as Buyer shall deem necessary to relieve Buyer of any obligation to deduct and withhold any portion of the purchase price pursuant to § 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code;


(d)    Maine Resident Affidavit.  If applicable, such affidavits and certificates, in form reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, as Buyer shall deem necessary to relieve Buyer of any obligation to deduct and withhold any portion of the purchase price pursuant to 36 M.R.S.A. § 5250-A;

(a)    Contemporaneously with the Ragged Mountain-Mirror Lake Conservation Easement Closing, Seller shall donate, as a charitable gift, Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00) to Buyer to be used for costs associated with the construction, maintenance, repair and stewardship of the “Round The Mountain” trail, so-called.


(b)    Seller intends to claim a charitable contribution deduction for any excess of the then-current fair market value of the Grassy Pond South Conservation Easement over the purchase price.  Seller shall be solely responsible for compliance with the gift value substantiation requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, including for obtaining an appraisal that is a “qualified appraisal” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.170A-13.  Buyer shall require that Seller share its completed appraisal with Buyer before Buyer can sign any Form 8283, and Buyer shall review reported valuations for gifts it accepts, and may refuse to sign the Form 8283 if the subject property has not been accurately described or if the purported fair market value is clearly fraudulent.

11.    RISK OF LOSS.  Until delivery of the Conservation Easements from Seller to Buyer, risk or loss or damage to the Premises by fire or otherwise shall be on Seller.


12.    BROKERAGE.

This agreement to indemnify and hold harmless shall survive the Closings.


13.    DEFAULT/DAMAGES.   Should Seller fail to fulfill Seller’s obligations hereunder, Buyer may elect to receive a refund of the Ragged Mountain-Mirror Lake CE Deposit and/or the Grassy Pond CE Deposit, as the case may be, or to pursue an action for specific performance and reasonable attorney’s fees.  Should Buyer fail to fulfill Buyer’s obligations hereunder, Seller shall retain the Ragged Mountain-Mirror Lake CE Deposit and/or the Grassy Pond CE Deposit, as the case may be, as liquidated damages and the parties shall have no further obligations under this Agreement except for those obligations that expressly survive the termination of the Agreement.

6

(f)    To the best of Seller’s knowledge and belief, the Premises currently comply with all state and local land use laws, including without limitation zoning and building laws, with respect to Seller’s use thereof, and there has been no illegal division of land which requires or which will require municipal subdivision approval, and Seller shall take no action prior to the Closings to render the above statements untrue;
