line items: (i) the Contractor’s Statement showing the Remaining GMP Amount with respect to the
Linbeck Contract, (ii) the Architect’s Statement showing the Remaining Contract Amount with respect
to the Arrowstreet Agreement, (iii) either (a) the estoppel certificates required under Section
6.1(c) with respect to any Lease under which a tenant improvement allowance is provided (as
such

 

 

tenant improvement allowances are described in any such Lease) stating the amount of such
allowances that have been funded under such Leases as of the respective dates of such estoppel
certificates or (b) in the event that such estoppel certificates do not provide the amount of such
allowances that have been funded, then a Seller’s Estoppel Certificate setting forth such amounts
as of the date of such certificate (and Seller shall provide reasonable back-up materials with
respect to any such amounts if a Seller’s Estoppel Certificate is given), (iv) either (a) the
Turnkey Estoppel Certificate stating the amount of the Turnkey Space Agreement Remaining Amount
that remains to be paid or (b) in the event that the Turnkey Estoppel Certificate does not provide
the amount of the Turnkey Space Agreement Remaining Amount that remains to be paid, then a Seller’s
Estoppel Certificate setting forth such amount as of the date of such certificate (and Seller shall
provide reasonable back-up materials with respect to such amount if a Seller’s Estoppel Certificate
is given) and (v) either (a) the Twining Estoppel Certificate stating the amount of the Remaining
Site Work Payment that remains to be paid or (b) in the event that the Twining Estoppel Certificate
does not provide the amount of the Remaining Site Work Payment that remains to be paid, then a
Seller’s Estoppel Certificate setting forth such amount as of the date of such certificate (and
Seller shall provide reasonable back-up materials with respect to such amount if a Seller’s
Estoppel Certificate is given). Such Statements, estoppel certificates, statements or receipts
respectively shall be the “Actual Remaining Cost” of the item in question.

     (c) The “Reconciliation Amount” shall be arrived at as follows:

	 	1.	 	If the Remaining GMP Amount is greater than the corresponding line item
in Schedule 2.2(b), then the Purchase Price shall be decreased by the
difference; and if such Amount is less than such line item, then the Purchase Price
shall be increased by the difference;
	 
	 	2.	 	If the Remaining Contract Amount is greater than the corresponding line
item in Schedule 2.2(b), then the Purchase Price shall be decreased by the
difference; and if such Amount is less than such line item, then the Purchase Price
shall be increased by the difference;
	 
	 	3.	 	If the amount of any tenant improvement allowances remaining to be
funded under the Leases is greater than the corresponding line item in Schedule
2.2(b), then the Purchase Price shall be decreased by the difference; and if
such amount is less than such line item the Purchase Price shall be increased by
the difference;
	 
	 	4.	 	If the amount of the Turnkey Space Agreement Remaining Amount that
remains to be paid is greater than the corresponding line item set forth in
Schedule 2.2(b), then the Purchase Price shall be decreased by the
difference; and if the Turnkey Space Agreement Remaining Amount that remains to be
paid is less than such line item, then the Purchase Price shall be increased by the
difference; and
	 
	 	5.	 	If the amount of the Remaining Site Work Payment that remains to be
paid is greater than the corresponding line item in Schedule 2.2(b), then
the Purchase Price shall be increased by the difference; and if such amount is less
than such line item the Purchase Price shall be decreased by the difference.

     (d) If Seller expends any funds with respect to any Major Line Items listed as (1) through (4)
above following the applicable date of the document used to determine the Actual

 

 

Remaining Cost with respect to such Major Line Item, then reasonable evidence of such
expenditures shall be provided to Purchaser and the Purchase Price shall be increased by the amount
of such expenditures as part of the Reconciliation Amount.

ARTICLE 3

Deposit

     Section 3.1. Deposit. Purchaser shall deposit with Escrow Agent no later
than the following events the following amounts: (i) on the third (3rd) Business Day after the
Effective Date, Nine Million Dollars ($9,000,000.00), (ii) on the third (3rd) Business Day after
the date of the expiration of the Study Period, if Purchaser fails to terminate this Agreement in
accordance with Section 5.2, Nine Million Dollars ($9,000,000) (individually or
collectively, as the case may be at any time, the “Deposit”), such that the total Deposit
at such time shall be Eighteen Million Dollars ($18,000,000). Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) of
the Deposit shall be the “Non-Refundable Deposit”, which shall be payable to Seller
pursuant to this Agreement. The Deposit shall be held by Escrow Agent in a segregated “money
market” interest bearing account pursuant to an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”)
in the form attached hereto as Schedule 3.1. Escrow Agent shall invest the Deposit in an
interest-bearing savings account or short-term U.S. Treasury Bills or similar cash-equivalent
securities, as directed by Purchaser and Seller. Any and all interest earned on the Deposit shall
be reported to Purchaser’s federal tax identification number and shall become part of the Deposit.
The Deposit shall be applied to the Purchase Price if the Closing occurs. If Purchaser fails to
deliver any installments of the Deposit to Escrow Agent within the time required under this
Section 3.1, then this Agreement shall, at Seller’s election, terminate (other than the
Surviving Obligations), and any Deposit then held by Escrow Agent shall be promptly paid or
delivered to Seller following such termination. At Purchaser’s election all or any portion of the
Deposit may be made by delivering to the Escrow Agent a letter of credit, which shall mean an
irrevocable, unconditional, transferable, clean sight draft letter of credit in a form reasonably
approved by Seller issued or confirmed for direct payment by a financial institution acceptable to
Seller that will accept draws upon such letter of credit in either Boston, Massachusetts or New
York, New York, that expires no earlier than one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date,
in favor of Seller entitling Seller to draw thereon based solely on a statement purportedly
executed by an officer of Seller stating that it has the right to draw thereon. Purchaser shall
remain fully liable for the amount of the Deposit, without duplication, if any such letter of
credit evidencing the Deposit expires, is terminated or is otherwise not payable to or drawable by
Seller in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 4

Survey and Title Commitment

     Section 4.1. Title and Survey. Purchaser may: (a) order an “as built”
survey for any of the respective Real Property (the “Surveys”) by a licensed surveyor or
registered professional engineer reasonably acceptable to Purchaser; and (b) cause the Title
Company to prepare and furnish Title Commitments to Purchaser and Seller for the Real Property
together with copies of all instruments referred to thereon as exceptions to title. Purchaser
shall deliver an original of

 

 

any Survey and a copy of the Title Commitments (and such instruments) to Seller within three
(3) Business Days of receipt thereof by Purchaser. In the event that Purchaser fails to obtain any
Title Commitments or Surveys prior to the expiration of the Study Period, in each case with
respect to any part of the Real Property, then Purchaser shall waive any right to object to any
matter set forth in the Title Commitments or Surveys, as the case may be (but such waiver shall
apply only with respect to such parts of the Real Property for which a Title Commitment or Survey
was not obtained), following the expiration of the Study Period.

     Not later than the expiration of the Study Period, Purchaser shall give Seller a written
notice (the “Title Objection Notice”) that sets forth in reasonable detail an explanation
of any objections that Purchaser has to title or survey matters affecting the Real Property (the
“Purchaser Title Objections”); provided, however, that Purchaser shall have no right to
object to any Permitted Exceptions. Seller shall have until 5:00 p.m. Boston time on the third
(3rd) Business Day from its receipt of the Title Objection Notice (“Seller’s Title Election
Period”) to give Purchaser notice as to whether Seller elects to use reasonable efforts to cure
the Purchaser Title Objections by the Closing Date. If Seller fails to give Purchaser written
notice of such election before the end of Seller’s Title Election Period, Seller shall be deemed to
have elected not to attempt to cure the Purchaser Title Objections. If Seller elects not to or is
deemed to have elected not to attempt to cure any one or more of the Purchaser Title Objections,
such Purchaser Title Objections shall constitute Permitted Exceptions and Purchaser shall have
until 5:00 p.m. Boston time on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the end of the Study Period to
elect whether to take title to the Property subject to such matters or to terminate this Agreement
by giving written notice to Seller of such termination on or before such time on such fifth (5th)
Business Day, and failure of Purchaser to so terminate this Agreement shall be deemed an election
to take title to the Property subject to such matters. If (x) Seller elects to use reasonable
efforts to cure any one or more of the Purchaser Title Objections, or (y) the Real Property becomes
subject to any defect in title arising after the date of any Title Commitment or Survey obtained
prior to the expiration of the Study Period, as the case may be, Purchaser shall notify Seller
within three (3) Business Days of becoming aware of such defect (or at the Closing if less than
three (3) Business Days remain until the Closing Date) and Seller shall have until the Closing
Date, which Seller may in its sole discretion, exercisable by written notice to Purchaser on or
before the Closing Date, extend for one or more periods of up to sixty (60) days in total to
provide additional time to complete such cure. If at the Closing Date, as so extended, Seller has
not completed such cure then Purchaser shall have the option of either accepting the title as it
then is or receiving a refund of the Deposit, which shall promptly be returned to Purchaser and
thereupon except for Surviving Obligations Purchaser and Seller shall have no further obligations
or liabilities under this Agreement. If Seller elects to use reasonable efforts to cure any one or
more of Purchaser Title Objections, Seller shall in no event be required to bring or settle a
lawsuit to clear any title defects and, except for Seller Mortgages, Seller shall never be required
to expend more than the amount of the Title Cure Cap to cure all Purchaser Title Objections. All
Seller Mortgages will be satisfied by Seller at or prior to the Closing or, if not so satisfied,
shall be satisfied at Closing by reserving proceeds otherwise payable to Seller in a manner
reasonably satisfactory to the Title Company.

     Section 4.2. Discharge of Title Objections Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, Seller shall be deemed to have removed or corrected each matter or condition that
is not a Permitted Exception if, in Seller’s discretion and at its sole cost, Seller either (a)
causes the

 

 

Title Company to remove such matter or condition as an exception to title in the applicable
Title Commitment issued at Closing or affirmatively insures against the same in a manner reasonably
acceptable to Purchaser, in each case without any additional cost to Purchaser, whether such
insurance is made available in consideration of payment, bonding, indemnity of Seller or otherwise,
or (b) delivers (i) its own funds (or directs that a portion of the Purchase Price be delivered) in
an amount needed to fully discharge any such matter or condition to the Title Company with
instructions for the Title Company to apply such funds to fully discharge any such matter or
condition, and (ii) if required by the Title Company, such instruments in recordable form as are
necessary to enable the Title Company to discharge such matter or condition of record.

ARTICLE 5

Inspection

     Section 5.1. Access During the pendency of this Agreement, Purchaser,
personally or through its authorized agents, shall be entitled upon reasonable advance notice to
the applicable Seller Party to enter upon the Real Property during normal business hours and shall
have the right to make such investigations, studies and analyses as Purchaser deems necessary or
advisable, subject to the following limitations: (a) such access shall not violate any law or, so
long as the same has been delivered to Purchaser, any agreement to which Seller is a party; (b) a
representative of the applicable Seller Party shall have the right to be present when Purchaser or
its representatives conducts its or their investigations on the Real Property or communicates with
any Tenants, (c) neither Purchaser nor its representatives shall interfere with any construction
activities taking place on the Real Property (except to a de minimis extent); (d) neither Purchaser
nor its agents shall damage the Real Property or any portion thereof (except to a de minimis
extent); (e) before Purchaser or its agents enter onto the Real Property, Purchaser shall deliver
to the applicable Seller Party a certificate of insurance naming the applicable Seller Party as an
additional insured, evidencing commercial general liability insurance (including property damage,
bodily injury and death) issued by an insurance company having a rating of at least “A-VII” by A.M.
Best Company, with limits of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence for bodily or personal injury or
death and $2,000,000 aggregate per location; (f) Purchaser shall: (i) use reasonable efforts to
perform all on-site due diligence reviews on an expeditious and efficient basis; and (ii)
indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Seller and the Seller Parties against, and hold each of
them harmless from, all loss, liability, claims, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees),
liens and damages resulting from or relating to the activities of Purchaser or its agents;
provided, however, that Purchaser shall not indemnify, hold harmless or defend Seller or any of the
Seller Parties against any loss, liability, claims, costs (including reasonable attorney’s fees),
liens or damages caused by any Seller Party’s negligence or willful misconduct, or which arise out
of the mere discovery of conditions that were present before Purchaser entered onto the Real
Property, and (g) without Seller’s prior written consent, which Seller may give or withhold in its
absolute discretion, Purchaser shall not conduct any Phase II investigations, soil borings or other
invasive tests on or around the Real Property. The foregoing indemnification obligation shall
survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement.

 

 

     Section 5.2. Study Period (a) Purchaser shall have the Study Period to (i)
physically inspect the Property, ascertain that the Property has sufficient characteristics for its
purposes, conduct appraisals, examine construction documents, perform examinations of the physical
condition of the Property and any improvements located thereon, and examine the Property for the
presence of Hazardous Materials, in each case as provided for in Section 5.1, and (ii)
review any materials delivered and/or made available to Purchaser and/or Purchaser’s
representatives (including, without limitation, the Reports and those items contained in that
certain data room website located at https://extranet.piperrudnick.com/eRoom/lyme/ (such website
being the “eRoom”) and have access to such other records relating to any improvements
located on the Real Property as are in Seller’s possession or control (collectively, the “Due
Diligence Materials”) and to otherwise conduct such due diligence review of the Property and
the Major Line Item Project as Purchaser, in its absolute discretion, deems appropriate all at its
sole cost. Where this Agreement uses words such as “made available to Purchaser”, “provided to
Purchaser”, “disclosed to Purchaser” and the like, the presence of any information in the eRoom
prior to the commencement of the Restricted Period shall mean that such information was made
available, provided, delivered and disclosed to Purchaser.

     (b) Prior to the conclusion of the Study Period, Purchaser shall notify Seller as to which
Miscellaneous Consultant Agreements Purchaser will assume and which Miscellaneous Consultant
Agreements shall be terminated by Seller in Purchaser’s sole discretion, and in the absence of any
such notice, Purchaser shall be deemed to elect to assume all of the Miscellaneous Consultant
Agreements. Purchaser will assume the obligations coming due after the Closing Date under those
Miscellaneous Consultant Agreements which Purchaser has elected (or is deemed elected) to assume,
to the extent that the parties to such agreements agree to such assumption. Seller shall terminate
at Closing all Miscellaneous Consultant Agreements that are not so assumed.

     (c) If before the end of the Study Period Purchaser shall for any reason in Purchaser’s sole
discretion, determine that it does not wish to purchase the Property then Purchaser shall be
entitled to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Seller prior to the
expiration of the Study Period, or if before the end of the Study Period this Agreement is
terminated on account of Section 6.5(e) hereof, then in either such event the
Non-Refundable Deposit shall promptly be paid to the Seller and the remainder of the Deposit shall
promptly be returned to Purchaser and, except for the Surviving Obligations, Seller and Purchaser
shall have no further obligations or liabilities to each other hereunder. If Purchaser fails to
give such notice prior to the expiration of the Study Period, it shall conclusively be deemed to
have elected to waive its right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 5.2 and
shall be obligated to purchase the Property in accordance with the terms hereof. If Purchaser
terminates this Agreement under this Section 5.2 or under any other provision of this
Agreement, Purchaser shall promptly deliver to Seller copies of all reports, studies and
investigations relating to the Property in Purchaser’s possession or under its control, the same to
be without warranty or representation by Purchaser or cost to Seller; provided, however, that
Purchaser shall have no obligation to deliver copies of any of the following to Seller: (i) any
information or documents related to the transaction of which this Agreement is a part, (ii)
any projections and other internal memoranda or materials, (iii) financial statements of
Purchaser, appraisals, budgets, strategic plans for the Property prepared by or on behalf of
Purchaser, internal analyses and submissions

 

 

relating to Purchaser’s obtaining of internal authorizations and the like and (iv) any
attorney and accountant work product or any other materials subject to any legal privilege in favor
of Purchaser.

     Section 5.3. Confidentiality (a) Subject to Section 5.3(b) and
5.3(c), Purchaser shall hold all Confidential Information in confidence and shall not at any
time disclose or permit the disclosure of the Confidential Information to any Person without
Seller’s prior written consent. Purchaser further agrees to use the Confidential Information only
for purposes of evaluating the Property in connection with its purchase thereof in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Purchaser may disclose the
Confidential Information to its affiliates, legal counsel, consultants, engineers, accountants,
lenders and similar third parties for their review of the Confidential Information in connection
with Purchaser’s purchase of the Property subject to the terms of this Section 5.3, and
(ii) Purchaser may disclose the Confidential Information to the extent that such disclosure is
required by law (including any securities law) or court order, provided that Purchaser first shall
provide written notice thereof to Seller. If this Agreement is terminated before the Closing,
Purchaser promptly shall return the Confidential Information to Seller and shall not retain copies
thereof.

     (b) Following the Effective Date, Seller and Purchaser shall make a public announcement
concerning the sale of the Property pursuant to this Agreement. Seller and Purchaser shall provide
drafts of such public announcement to, and confer with, the other party before such public
announcement is made.

     (c) From and after the Closing, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, any party to this transaction (and each employee, agent or representative of the
foregoing) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment
and tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax
analyses) that are provided to them relating to such tax treatment and tax structure except to the
extent that maintaining confidentiality with respect thereto is necessary to comply with any
applicable federal or state securities laws. The authorization in the preceding sentence is not
intended to permit disclosure of any other information unrelated to the tax treatment and tax
structure of the transaction including (without limitation) (i) any portion of the transaction
documents or related materials to the extent not related to the tax treatment or tax structure of
the transaction, (ii) the existence or status of any negotiations unrelated to the tax issues, or
(iii) any other term or detail not relevant to the tax treatment or the tax structure of the
transaction.

     (d) The provisions of this Section 5.3 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement.

     Section 5.4. Reporting. In the event that Purchaser’s due diligence reveals
any condition of the Property that in Purchaser’s judgment requires disclosure to any governmental
agency or authority, Purchaser shall immediately notify Seller thereof. In such event, Seller, and
not Purchaser nor anyone acting on Purchaser’s behalf, shall make such disclosures as Seller deems
appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may disclose matters concerning the Property
to a governmental authority if, (a) in the written opinion of Purchaser’s outside legal counsel (a
copy of which is furnished to Seller), Purchaser is, or more likely than not is, required by law to
make such disclosure, and (b) to the extent permitted by law, Purchaser gives Seller

 

 

not less than ten (10) Business Days prior written notice of the proposed disclosure, together
with a copy of such legal opinion.

     Section 5.5. Other Documents. Seller shall use commercially reasonable
efforts (as defined below) to obtain the following prior to the commencement of the Restricted
Period: a Miscellaneous Consultant Consent from each party to the Miscellaneous Consultant
Agreements (other than the Seller or any predecessor-in-interest of Seller thereunder). Seller’s
sole obligation with respect to the Miscellaneous Consultant Consents shall be to use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain the same (which, for purposes of this Section 5.5, shall mean
requesting the applicable document from the intended signatory thereto, and in no event shall
include the expenditure of any funds, the amendment of any Miscellaneous Consultant Agreement or
the commencement, settlement or other resolution of any litigation, arbitration or similar
proceeding), and Purchaser’s sole remedy with respect to Seller’s failure to obtain any such
document (or any issue disclosed in any such document) shall be to terminate this Agreement in
accordance with Section 5.2.

ARTICLE 6

Conditions Precedent, Condemnation

     Section 6.1. Conditions Precedent Favoring Purchaser. Purchaser’s
obligations under this Agreement are subject to the fulfillment of the conditions set forth in this
Section 6.1 on or before the Closing Date. Each condition may be waived in whole or in
part only by written notice of such waiver from Purchaser to Seller or by Purchaser consummating
the transactions described in this Agreement at the Closing.

     (a) Seller shall have performed and complied in all material respects with all of the terms of
this Agreement to be performed and complied with by such Seller, as the case may be, prior to or at
the Closing.

     (b) Subject to Section 7.3, on the Closing Date, the representations of the
respective parties within the term Seller set forth in Section 7.2 (as the same have been
updated pursuant to Section 7.3(c)) shall be true, complete and accurate in all material
respects, subject to: (1) changes that: (y) are caused by the acts or omissions of Purchaser or
Persons acting under Purchaser; or (z) are a result of the operation of the Property in the normal
course of business since the date hereof and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and do
not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the value of the Property
the Purchaser’s ability to use the Property for its intended uses; and (2) casualty or condemnation
(which shall be governed by Section 6.3).

     (c) Purchaser shall have received estoppel certificates (each, a “Tenant Estoppel
Certificate”) from the following Tenants of the Rogers Street Real Property: Schering Plough
Research Institute and Microbia, Inc. or shall have been provided with a Seller’s Estoppel
Certificate as permitted by the following sentence, in each case dated no earlier than the
Effective Date (the “Estoppel Requirement”). If Rogers Street, LLC is unable to obtain an

 

 

estoppel certificate from Microbia, Inc., in order to meet the Estoppel Requirement, Rogers
Street, LLC shall provide to the Purchaser substitute a Seller’s Estoppel Certificate with respect
to such Lease. With respect to any Tenant for whom Rogers Street, LLC delivers a Seller’s Estoppel
Certificate, Rogers Street, LLC’s statements therein shall be deemed to be representations and
warranties as though set forth under and subject to Article 7 of this Agreement. Rogers Street,
LLC shall be entitled to continue to deal with such Tenant after Closing to attempt to obtain a
Tenant Estoppel Certificate from such Tenant. If Purchaser subsequently receives a Tenant Estoppel
Certificate from any Tenant for whom Rogers Street, LLC has delivered a Seller’s Estoppel
Certificate, Rogers Street, LLC shall thereupon be released from liability with respect to the
Seller’s Estoppel Certificate given with respect to such Tenant to the extent that the information
contained in the Tenant Estoppel Certificate obtained from the Tenant is materially consistent with
the information contained in Seller’s Estoppel Certificate. All Tenant Estoppel Certificates
required hereby shall be substantially in the form of the Seller’s Estoppel Certificate or, if the
applicable Lease provides a form tenant estoppel certificate that includes all of the material
provisions of the Seller’s Estoppel Certificate, then in the form so provided in such Lease, as the
case may be; but such form may contain modifications and additions so long as it sets forth the
material provisions of the form attached hereto. Except as provided in Section 6.1(k)
below with respect to any Certificate delivered to Purchaser before the commencement of the
Restricted Period, no Tenant Estoppel Certificate (or Seller’s Estoppel Certificate delivered
hereunder) shall count towards the Estoppel Requirement if it (A) discloses any material default by
Rogers Street, LLC or the respective Tenant that was not disclosed to Purchaser before the
commencement of the Restricted Period or (B) contains information that is materially inconsistent
with the information set forth in the Leases as made available to Purchaser before the commencement
of the Restricted Period or (C) sets forth claims or disputes not disclosed to Purchaser before the
commencement of the Restricted Period, and in each case has a material adverse effect on the value
of the Rogers Street Real Property following the Closing; or (D) discloses any information that
would make any Seller Representation untrue in any material respect. Tenant Estoppel Certificates
or Seller’s Estoppel Certificates that set forth claims, disputes or landlord defaults with respect
to construction or other matters having an individual value of not more than Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($500,000) and an aggregate value (with respect to all Tenant Estoppel Certificates and
Seller’s Estoppel Certificates) of not more than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) and that would
not entitle the Tenant under the applicable Lease to terminate such Lease pursuant to the terms
thereof as of the date of such Certificates shall conclusively be deemed not to have a material
adverse effect on the value of the Rogers Street Real Property following the Closing; but Tenant
Estoppel Certificates or Seller’s Estoppel Certificates that set forth claims, disputes or landlord
defaults with respect to construction or other matters having an individual value greater than Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) or an aggregate value (with respect to all Tenant Estoppel
Certificates and Seller’s Estoppel Certificates) greater than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) or
that would entitle the Tenant under the applicable Lease to terminate such Lease pursuant to the
terms thereof as of the date of such Certificates shall conclusively be deemed to have a material
adverse effect on the value of the Rogers Street Real Property following the Closing. The
foregoing deemed material adverse effect shall apply to all Tenant Estoppel Certificates and
Seller’s Estoppel Certificates, whether the same are delivered to Purchaser before or following the
commencement of the Restricted Period (notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.1(k)
below). If any Tenant Estoppel Certificate or Seller’s Estoppel Certificate provided to Purchaser

 

 

prior to the Closing contains any information that is inconsistent with any Seller
Representation, the Seller Representation shall be deemed modified by the information contained in
such Certificate, and for the avoidance of doubt, each such Certificate shall be treated as an
Update. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary but subject to the provisions set forth in
Section 6.1(k) below with respect to any Certificate delivered to Purchaser before the
commencement of the Restricted Period, an estoppel certificate that would otherwise satisfy the
requirements for an acceptable estoppel certificate above, except for an alleged “landlord default”
or any Tenant claims or disputes in excess of the foregoing amounts set forth in such certificate
shall be deemed acceptable and shall count toward the Estoppel Requirement if (x) Rogers Street,
LLC cures such asserted landlord default at or prior to the Closing, or (y) Rogers Street, LLC is
disputing such landlord default in good faith, such alleged default reasonably could not result in
a termination of the respective Lease, and Rogers Street, LLC at its sole discretion deposits with
the Escrow Agent at the Closing funds reasonably adequate to effect the cure of such landlord
default post-Closing and pay Tenant all amounts due under the Lease or that otherwise may be due to
the Tenant under applicable law, if any, as a result thereof, such funds to be held in escrow by
the Escrow Agent until such dispute is resolved in landlord’s favor or such landlord default is
cured, and if such dispute is not resolved in landlord’s favor within ninety (90) days after the
Closing, Purchaser may use and apply so much of the escrow funds as shall be necessary to cure the
applicable default and pay Tenant all amounts due under the Lease or that may otherwise be due to
such person under applicable law, if any, as a result thereof, and any remaining balance shall be
promptly remitted to Rogers Street, LLC. Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with Rogers Street,
LLC’s efforts to effect such cure after the Closing at no material cost to Purchaser (unless such
cost is reimbursed to Purchaser).

     (d) Purchaser shall have received a statement from the Contractor dated no earlier than the
Effective Date substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule 6.1(d) (the
“Contractor’s Statement”) setting forth therein the Remaining GMP Amount with respect to
the Linbeck Contract (as such terms are defined in Schedule 6.1(d)). Such form may contain
modifications and additions so long as it in substance sets forth the Remaining GMP Amount, and the
other material provisions of the form attached hereto. Except as provided in Section
6.1(k) below with respect to any Certificate delivered to Purchaser before the commencement of
the Restricted Period, no Contractor’s Statement shall satisfy this condition if it (A) discloses
any material default by Rogers Street, LLC or the Contractor that was not disclosed to Purchaser
before the commencement of the Restricted Period or (B) contains information that is materially
inconsistent with the information set forth in the Linbeck Contract as made available to Purchaser
before the commencement of the Restricted Period or (C) sets forth Disputed Contractor Claims
(including Disputed Contractor Claims for an increase in the contract amount or an extension of any
deadline) not disclosed to Purchaser before the commencement of the Restricted Period that would
either (i) have a material adverse effect on the value of the Rogers Street Real Property with an
aggregate value of more than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) or (ii) increase the Purchaser’s cost
to complete the Major Line Item Project after the Closing by more than One Million Dollars
($1,000,000) or (iii) cause the Contract Substantial Completion Date to occur more than one (1)
month past August 31, 2007 or (D) discloses any information that would make any Seller
Representation untrue in any material respect.

 

 

     (e) Purchaser shall have received a statement from the Architect dated no earlier than the
Effective Date substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule 6.1(e) (the
“Architect’s Statement”) setting forth therein the Remaining Contract Amount with respect
to the Arrowstreet Agreement (as such terms are defined in Schedule 6.1(e)). Such form may
contain modifications and additions so long as it in substance sets forth the Remaining Contract
Amount, and the other material provisions of the form attached hereto. Except as provided in
Section 6.1(k) below with respect to any Certificate delivered to Purchaser before the
commencement of the Restricted Period, no Architect’s Statement shall satisfy this condition if it
(A) discloses any material default by Rogers Street, LLC or the Architect that was not disclosed to
Purchaser before the commencement of the Restricted Period or (B) contains information that is
materially inconsistent with the information set forth in the Arrowstreet Agreement as made
available to Purchaser before the commencement of the Restricted Period or (C) sets forth Disputed
Architect Claims not disclosed to Purchaser before the commencement of the Restricted Period that
would either (i) have a material adverse effect on the value of the Rogers Street Real Property
with an aggregate value of more than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) or (ii) increase the
Purchaser’s cost to complete the Major Line Item Project after the Closing by more than One Million
Dollars ($1,000,000) or (iii) delay the completion of the Major Line Item Project by more than
three (3) months or (D) discloses any information that would make any Seller Representation untrue
in any material respect.

     (f) Purchaser shall have received from the Rogers Street Ground Landlord the “Rogers
Street Ground Landlord’s Consent to Assignment” substantially in the form of Schedule
6.1(f), which includes therein the “Rogers Street Ground Landlord Estoppel Provisions”,
dated no earlier than the Effective Date. The Rogers Street Ground Landlord Estoppel Provisions
required hereby shall be substantially in the form set forth in the Rogers Street Ground Landlord’s
Consent to Assignment; but such form may contain modifications and additions so long as it sets
forth the material provisions of the form attached hereto. Except as provided in Section
6.1(k) below with respect to any Certificate delivered to Purchaser before the commencement of
the Restricted Period, no Rogers Street Ground Landlord Estoppel Provisions shall satisfy this
condition to Closing if the same (A) discloses any material default by Rogers Street, LLC that was
not disclosed to Purchaser before the commencement of the Restricted Period or (B) contains
information that is materially inconsistent with the information set forth in the Rogers Street
Ground Lease as made available to Purchaser before the commencement of the Restricted Period or (C)
sets forth claims or disputes not disclosed to Purchaser before the commencement of the Restricted
Period, and in each case has a material adverse effect on the value of the Rogers Street Real
Property following the Closing; or (D) discloses any information that would make any Seller
Representation untrue in any material respect. Rogers Street Ground Landlord Estoppel provisions
that set forth other claims, disputes or defaults by Rogers Street, LLC not disclosed to Purchaser
with respect to construction or other matters having a value of not more than Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($500,000) and that would not entitle the landlord under the Rogers Street Ground Lease to
terminate the Rogers Street Ground Lease pursuant to the terms thereof as of the date of such
Certificate shall conclusively be deemed not to have a material adverse effect on the value of the
Rogers Street Property following the Closing; but Rogers Street Ground Landlord Estoppel Provisions
that set forth other claims, disputes or defaults by Rogers Street, LLC not disclosed to Purchaser
with respect to construction or other matters having a value greater than Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($500,000) or that would

 

 

entitle the landlord under the Rogers Street Ground Lease to terminate the Rogers Street
Ground Lease pursuant to the terms thereof as of the date of such Certificates shall conclusively
be deemed to have a material adverse effect on the value of the Rogers Street Real Property
following the Closing. The foregoing deemed material adverse effect shall apply to the Rogers
Street Ground Lease Landlord Provisions, whether the same are delivered to Purchaser before or
following the commencement of the Restricted Period (notwithstanding the provisions of Section
6.1(k) below). If any Rogers Street Ground Landlord’s Consent to Assignment (including the
Rogers Street Ground Landlord Estoppel Provisions contained therein) provided to Purchaser contains
any information that is inconsistent with any Seller Representation, the Seller Representation
shall be deemed modified by the information contained in such Certificate, and for the avoidance of
doubt, each such Certificate shall be treated as an Update. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary but subject to the provisions set forth in Section 6.1(k) below with respect to
any Certificate delivered to Purchaser before the commencement of the Restricted Period, an
estoppel certificate that would otherwise satisfy the requirements for an acceptable estoppel
certificate above, except for an alleged tenant default under the Rogers Street Ground Lease or any
landlord claim or disputes under such Rogers Street Ground Lease in excess of the foregoing amounts
set forth in such certificate shall be deemed acceptable and shall satisfy this condition to
Closing if (x) Rogers Street, LLC cures such asserted tenant default at or prior to the Closing, or
(y) Rogers Street, LLC is disputing such tenant default in good faith, such alleged undisclosed
default reasonably could not result in a termination of the Rogers Street Ground Lease, and Rogers
Street, LLC at its sole discretion deposits with the Escrow Agent at the Closing funds reasonably
adequate to effect the cure of such tenant default post-Closing and pay the Rogers Street Ground
Landlord all amounts due under the Rogers Street Ground Lease or that otherwise may be due to the
Rogers Street Ground Landlord under applicable law, if any, as a result thereof, such funds to be
held in escrow by the Escrow Agent until such dispute is resolved in favor of Rogers Street, LLC,
or such tenant default is cured, and if such dispute is not resolved in Rogers Street, LLC’s favor
within nine (9) months after the Closing, Purchaser may use and apply so much of the escrow funds
as shall be necessary to cure the applicable default and pay the Rogers Street Ground Landlord all
amounts due under the Rogers Street Ground Lease or that may otherwise be due to such landlord
under applicable law, if any, as a result thereof, and any remaining balance shall be promptly
remitted to Rogers Street, LLC. Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with Rogers Street, LLC’s
efforts to effect such cure after the Closing at no material cost to Purchaser (unless such cost is
reimbursed to Purchaser). Without limiting the generality of the provisions of this Agreement,
Purchaser acknowledges the matters disclosed by Seller on the attached Schedule 7.2(b) with
respect to the Thypin Rent Dispute and the Thypin Environmental Arbitration. Notwithstanding
anything set forth in this Section 6.1(f), in no event shall any Rogers Street Ground
Landlord Estoppel Provisions be deemed to not satisfy the requirements for an acceptable estoppel
certificate under this Section 6.1(f) due to the Rogers Street Ground Landlords’s statement
of any such matters with respect to the Thypin Rent Dispute and/or the Thypin Environmental
Arbitration (or any reservation of rights by the Rogers Street Ground Landlord on account thereof)
that are expressly disclosed on the attached Schedule 7.2(b) or in the eRoom in the folder
titled “Thypin Issues”.

     (g) Purchaser shall have received a statement from each Property Manager dated no earlier than
the Effective Date, substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule 6.1(g) (the
“Property Manager’s Statement”) with respect to each Property Management Agreement to

 

 

which it is a party. Such form may contain modifications and additions so long as it in
substance sets forth the material provisions of the form attached hereto. Except as provided in
Section 6.1(k) below with respect to any Certificate delivered to Purchaser before the
commencement of the Restricted Period, no Property Manager’s Statement shall satisfy this condition
if it (A) discloses any material default by Seller or such Property Manager that was not disclosed
to Purchaser before the commencement of the Restricted Period or (B) contains information that is
materially inconsistent with the information set forth in the applicable Property Management
Agreement as made available to Purchaser before the commencement of the Restricted Period or (C)
sets forth Disputed Manager Claims not disclosed to Purchaser before the commencement of the
Restricted Period having an individual value greater than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000)
or an aggregate value (with respect to all Property Manager’s Statements) greater than Three
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) or (D) discloses any information that would make any Seller
Representation untrue in any material respect.

     (h) Purchaser shall have received the following, each dated no earlier than the Effective
Date, a statement from each grantee of rights under the Master Deed substantially in the form
attached hereto as Schedule 6.1(h)-1 (the “KS South Primary Condominium Estoppel
Certificate”) with respect to the Master Deed and the by-laws associated therewith, a statement
from Twining with respect to the Twining Ground Lease and the Assignment of Reserved Development
Rights substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule 6.1(h)-2 (the “Twining
Estoppel Certificate”) and a statement from Twining with respect to the Turnkey Space
Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule 6.1(h)-3 (the “Turnkey
Estoppel Certificate”). Such forms may contain modifications and additions (including, without
limitation, modifications and additions on account of the matters set forth in Section 6.10
below) so long as they in substance set forth the material provisions of the applicable form
attached hereto. Except as provided in Section 6.1(k) below with respect to any
Certificate delivered to Purchaser before the commencement of the Restricted Period, no Certificate
delivered under this Section 6.1(h) (nor any Seller’s Estoppel Certificate delivered
hereunder) shall satisfy this condition if it (A) discloses any material default by Seller that was
not disclosed to Purchaser before the commencement of the Restricted Period or (B) contains
information that is materially inconsistent with the information set forth in, as applicable, the
Master Deed, such by-laws, the Turnkey Space Agreement, the Twining Ground Lease or the Assignment
of Reserved Development Rights as made available to Purchaser before the commencement of the
Restricted Period or (C) sets forth Disputed Claims not disclosed to Purchaser before the
commencement of the Restricted Period having an individual value greater than Two Hundred Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($250,000) or an aggregate value (with respect to all Certificates delivered under
this Section 6.1(h)) greater than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) or (D) discloses
any information that would make any Seller Representation untrue in any material respect. If one
or more such Certificates required under this Section 6.1(h) is not obtained by the
Closing, at its election Seller shall either give a Seller’s Estoppel Certificate with respect
thereto or adjourn the Closing for up to sixty (60) days in order to obtain such Certificate(s)
(and if Seller does not so obtain such Certificate(s) during such sixty (60) day period, then
Seller shall provide a Seller’s Estoppel Certificate on account thereof). If Seller elects to give
a Seller’s Estoppel Certificate, such Seller’s Estoppel Certificate shall be substantially in the
form of Schedule 6.1(h)-1, Schedule 6.1(h)-2, or Schedule 6.1(h)-3, as
applicable, but shall also contain the following provisions: “This Estoppel is delivered by Seller
to Purchaser pursuant to a Real Estate Purchase

 

 

and Sale Agreement between Seller and Purchaser dated___, ___, 2007 (the “Purchase
Agreement”) which provides for a Seller Estoppel Certificate, and Seller’s liability hereunder
shall be subject to all time, dollar and other limitations on Seller’s liability set forth in the
Purchase Agreement and to the other provisions of the Purchase Agreement that apply to a Seller
Estoppel Certificate. Whenever a representation herein is qualified by the phrase “to Seller’s
knowledge”, or by words of similar import, such knowledge shall be limited as provided in the
Purchase Agreement. No officer, director, owner, manager, trustee, or agent of Seller shall have
any liability hereunder. As used herein, knowledge means the actual knowledge possessed by Seller
as of the date hereof without having any duty to make, or having made, any inquiry.” Seller shall
be entitled to continue to deal with any applicable party thereunder after Closing to attempt to
obtain a Certificate. If Purchaser subsequently receives a Certificate from any Person for whom
Seller has delivered a Seller’s Estoppel Certificate, Seller shall thereupon be released from
liability with respect to the Seller’s Estoppel Certificate given with respect to such Person to
the extent that the information contained in the Certificate so obtained is materially consistent
with the information contained in the Seller’s Estoppel Certificate.

     (i) Purchaser shall have received a statement from each parcel owner under the CER Declaration
(other than with respect to Parcel A and Parcel D of Kendall Square, which are owned by affiliates
of Purchaser) dated no earlier than the Effective Date, substantially in the form attached hereto
as Schedule 6.1(i) (the “CER Declaration Estoppel Certificate”) with respect to the
CER Declaration. Such form may contain modifications and additions so long as it in substance sets
forth the material provisions of the form attached hereto. Except as provided in Section
6.1(k) below with respect to any Certificate delivered to Purchaser before the commencement of
the Restricted Period, no CER Declaration Estoppel Certificate (nor any Seller’s Estoppel
Certificate delivered hereunder) shall satisfy this condition if it (A) discloses any material
default by Seller that was not disclosed to Purchaser before the commencement of the Restricted
Period or (B) contains information that is materially inconsistent with the information set forth
in the CER Declaration as made available to Purchaser before the commencement of the Restricted
Period or (C) sets forth Disputed Claims not disclosed to Purchaser before the commencement of the
Restricted Period having an individual value greater than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($250,000) or an aggregate value (with respect to all CER Declaration Estoppel Certificates)
greater than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) or (D) discloses any information that would
make any Seller Representation untrue in any material respect. If one or more such CER Declaration
Estoppel Certificates is not obtained by the Closing, at its election Seller shall either give a
Seller’s Estoppel Certificate with respect thereto or adjourn the Closing for up to sixty (60) days
in order to obtain such CER Declaration Estoppel Certificate(s) (and if Seller does not so obtain
such CER Declaration Estoppel Certificate(s) during such sixty (60) day period, then Seller shall
provide a Seller’s Estoppel Certificate on account thereof). If Seller elects to give a Seller’s
Estoppel Certificate, such Seller’s Estoppel Certificate shall be substantially in the form of
Schedule 6.1(i) but shall also contain the following provisions: “This Estoppel is
delivered by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to a Real Estate Purchase and Sale Agreement between
Seller and Purchaser dated ___, ___, 2007 (the “Purchase Agreement”) which provides for
a Seller Estoppel Certificate, and Seller’s liability hereunder shall be subject to all time,
dollar and other limitations on Seller’s liability set forth in the Purchase Agreement and to the
other provisions of the Purchase Agreement that apply to a Seller Estoppel Certificate. Whenever a
representation herein is qualified by the

 

 

phrase “to Seller’s knowledge”, or by words of similar import, such knowledge shall be limited
as provided in the Purchase Agreement. No officer, director, owner, manager, trustee, or agent of
Seller shall have any liability hereunder. As used herein, knowledge means the actual knowledge
possessed by Seller as of the date hereof without having any duty to make, or having made, any
inquiry.” Seller shall be entitled to continue to deal with any applicable parcel owner(s) under
the CER Declaration after Closing to attempt to obtain a CER Declaration Estoppel Certificate. If
Purchaser subsequently receives a CER Declaration Estoppel Certificate from any Person for whom
Seller has delivered a Seller’s Estoppel Certificate, Seller shall thereupon be released from
liability with respect to the Seller’s Estoppel Certificate given with respect to such Person to
the extent that the information contained in the CER Declaration Estoppel Certificate so obtained
is materially consistent with the information contained in the Seller’s Estoppel Certificate.

     (j) Purchaser shall have received a statement from CES dated no earlier than the Effective
Date, substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule 6.1(j) (the “CES
Estoppel”) with respect to the CES Documents. Such form may contain modifications and
additions so long as it in substance sets forth the material provisions of the form attached
hereto. Except as provided in Section 6.1(k) below with respect to any Certificate
delivered to Purchaser before the commencement of the Restricted Period, no CES Estoppel (nor any
Seller’s Estoppel Certificate Delivered hereunder) shall satisfy this condition if it (A) discloses
any material default by Seller that was not disclosed to Purchaser before the commencement of the
Restricted Period or (B) contains information that is materially inconsistent with the information
set forth in the CES Documents as made available to Purchaser before the commencement of the
Restricted Period or (C) sets forth Disputed Claims not disclosed to Purchaser before the
commencement of the Restricted Period having a value greater than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($500,000) or (D) discloses any information that would make any Seller Representation untrue in any
material respect. If the CES Estoppel is not obtained by the Closing, at its election Seller shall
either give a Seller’s Estoppel Certificate with respect thereto or adjourn the Closing for up to
sixty (60) days in order to obtain the CES Estoppel (and if Seller does not so obtain such CES
Estoppel during such sixty (60) day period, then Seller shall provide a Seller’s Estoppel
Certificate on account thereof). If Seller elects to give a Seller’s Estoppel Certificate, such
Seller’s Estoppel Certificate shall be substantially in the form of Schedule 6.1(j) but
shall also contain the following provisions: “This Estoppel is delivered by Seller to Purchaser
pursuant to a Real Estate Purchase and Sale Agreement between Seller and Purchaser dated ___,
___, 200___(the “Purchase Agreement”) which provides for a Seller Estoppel Certificate, and
Seller’s liability hereunder shall be subject to all time, dollar and other limitations on Seller’s
liability set forth in the Purchase Agreement and to the other provisions of the Purchase Agreement
that apply to a Seller Estoppel Certificate. Whenever a representation herein is qualified by the
phrase “to Seller’s knowledge”, or by words of similar import, such knowledge shall be limited as
provided in the Purchase Agreement. No officer, director, owner, manager, trustee, or agent of
Seller shall have any liability hereunder. As used herein, knowledge means the actual knowledge
possessed by Seller as of the date hereof without having any duty to make, or having made, any
inquiry.” Seller shall be entitled to continue to deal with CES after Closing to attempt to obtain
a CES Estoppel. If Purchaser subsequently receives a CES Estoppel, Seller shall thereupon be
released from liability with respect to the Seller’s Estoppel Certificate given with

 

 

respect to CES to the extent that the information contained in the CES Estoppel so obtained is
materially consistent with the information contained in the Seller’s Estoppel Certificate.

     (k) If Seller is unable to obtain any of the documents described in Section 6.1 (c)
through (j) above (each of the foregoing, a “Certificate”) or otherwise to meet any
condition to Purchaser’s obligation to perform, Seller shall have the option, by written notice to
Purchaser, to extend the Closing Date from time to time for not more than sixty (60) days in the
aggregate from the original Closing Date. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section
6.1(c) above, in the event that any Certificate is delivered to Purchaser before the
commencement of the Restricted Period, and thereafter Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement
pursuant to Section 5.2, then notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement to the
contrary, any such Certificate shall be deemed to satisfy any requirement applicable thereto set
forth in this Agreement, and Purchaser shall have no right to object to the form, content or
substance of such Certificate or any matter disclosed therein as not meeting the conditions for
Closing and any such nonconformity shall be deemed waived. Seller shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain each of the Certificates.

     (l) Seller shall have the option to obtain updates to any of the Certificates (any such update
being an “Updated Certificate”). In the event that any Updated Certificate (x) discloses
information other than differing Remaining GMP Amounts and Remaining Contract Amounts under the
Linbeck Contract or the Arrowstreet Agreement (with respect to the Statements) or increased funding
of an applicable tenant improvement allowance (with respect to any Lease) and (y) such additional
disclosure would cause such Updated Certificate not to comply with Section 6.1(c),
(d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i) or (j) (as
applicable), then such Updated Certificate shall be treated as an Update in accordance with
Section 7.3(c), and Purchaser’s only remedy with respect thereto shall be to terminate this
Agreement pursuant to the terms of Section 7.3(c) prior to the expiration of the Update
Termination Period applicable thereto.

     (m) Subject to (x) all applicable provisions, limitations and exclusions set forth in this
Agreement with respect to the Certificates and (y) any other matters that have been otherwise
disclosed to Purchaser by Seller (which matters (x) and (y) shall not apply to the Five Million
Dollar ($5,000,000) threshold amount set forth in this Section 6.1(m)), the aggregate
amount of all adverse matters disclosed in the Certificates to which a dollar amount is applicable
in each such Certificate shall not exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000).

     (n) Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Title Commitment, the Title Company
is irrevocably committed to issue the Title Policy to Purchaser.

     (o) The physical condition of the Property shall be substantially the same on the Closing Date
as on the Effective Date (except as a result of construction activities that are substantially in
conformity with the Plans and Specifications made available to Purchaser during the Study Period),
unless the alteration of said physical condition is the result of condemnation or fire or other
casualty, in which case the provisions of Section 6.3 shall govern.

     (p) No proceeding shall have been commenced against any party included within Seller under the
federal Bankruptcy Code or any state law for relief of debtors.

 

 

     (q) As of the Closing Date, the Leases shall be in full force and effect and no default shall
exist under any Lease.

     (r) Each applicable party included within the term Seller shall have obtained all consents and
approvals set forth in Schedule 6.1(r), if any, except for such items as Purchaser
reasonably determines Seller need not obtain consent.

     Section 6.2. Conditions Precedent Favoring Seller. Seller’s obligations under
this Agreement are subject to the fulfillment of the conditions set forth in this Section
6.2 on or before the Closing Date, or such earlier date as is set forth below. Each condition
may be waived in whole or part only by written notice of such waiver from Seller to Purchaser, or
by Seller consummating the transactions described in this Agreement at the Closing.

     (a) Purchaser shall have performed and complied in all material respects with all of the terms
of this Agreement to be performed and complied with by Purchaser prior to or at the Closing.

     (b) On the Closing Date, the representations of Purchaser set forth in Section 7.1
shall be true, accurate and complete in all material respects.

Section 6.3. Casualty or Condemnation

     (a) If after the date hereof and prior to Closing, the Real Property or any part thereof shall
be (x) subject to a taking by any public or quasi-public authority through condemnation, eminent
domain or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation
of the exercise of such taking) (collectively, “Condemnation”) or (y) destroyed or damaged
by fire or other casualty and in either case the parties reasonably estimate the proceeds from such
Condemnation or the cost to repair the damage or destruction to be in excess of fifteen percent
(15%) of the Purchase Price allocable to the Real Property (a “Major Event”), Purchaser
shall have the option exercisable within ten (10) Business Days after Purchaser and Seller make a
determination or agree on such estimate either (a) to terminate this Agreement by written notice to
Seller, whereupon all rights and obligations hereunder of each party shall cease and terminate and
be of no further force or effect except for the return of the Deposit to Purchaser and the
Surviving Obligations, or (b) to elect to take title to the Real Property without any reduction in,
abatement of, or credit against the Purchase Price (except as expressly set forth in Section
6.3(b) below), notwithstanding such Condemnation, destruction or damage; if Purchaser
fails to make either such election within such period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected
option (b). If the parties fail to agree to the reasonable estimate of the proceeds from such
Condemnation or the cost to repair the damage or destruction within thirty (30) days after the
date of the applicable Condemnation or casualty, then Seller and Purchaser may submit the dispute
to the American Arbitration Association in Boston pursuant to the Expedited Procedures of the
Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures thereof (and the Closing will be adjourned pending the
resolution of such arbitration). If, despite the occurrence of a Major Event, Purchaser elects to
consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, at the Closing Seller shall assign to
Purchaser (without recourse) (x) the rights of Seller in and to the

 

 

Condemnation proceeds or all insurance proceeds with respect to such Major Event, net of the
amount of the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Seller (including, but not limited to,
reasonable legal fees and closing costs under a sale in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise
of a taking) in collecting same (“Net Proceeds”), and give Purchaser, without duplication,
a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of the Net Proceeds already received by Seller
prior to Closing (provided, however, Seller shall receive, without duplication, a credit against
such Purchaser credit for any such costs and expenses not recovered prior to Closing) and (y) the
rights to settle any Condemnation proceeding or the loss under all policies of insurance applicable
to the Major Event, and Seller shall at Closing and thereafter execute and deliver to Purchaser all
required proofs of loss, assignments of claims and other similar items.

     (b) If after the date hereof and prior to Closing, the Real Property or any part thereof shall
be (x) subject to a Condemnation or (y) destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty and, in
either case, it is not a Major Event, then the transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall be
consummated, without any reduction in, abatement of, or credit against the Purchase Price (except
as expressly set forth in this Section 6.3(b)) and Seller shall, at its option, either (i)
repair such damage prior to Closing and Seller shall keep any insurance or Condemnation proceeds,
(ii) allow Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the reasonably
estimated cost of repair and Seller shall keep any insurance or Condemnation proceeds, or (iii)
assign to Purchaser (without recourse) the rights of Seller to the Net Proceeds, and, without
duplication, give Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of the Net Proceeds
already received by Seller prior to Closing (provided, however, Seller shall receive without
duplication a credit against such Purchaser credit for any such costs and expenses not recovered
prior to Closing) and the rights to settle any Condemnation proceeding or the loss under all
policies of insurance applicable to the Condemnation, destruction or damage, and Seller shall at
Closing and thereafter execute and deliver to Purchaser all required proofs of loss, assignments of
claims and other similar items.

     (c) In the event that (i) a casualty occurs at the Real Property prior to the Closing, (ii) a
deductible is payable in connection with obtaining insurance proceeds with respect to such casualty
and (iii) Purchaser consummates the transaction notwithstanding such casualty and receives an
assignment of the Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.3(a) or Section 6.3(b), Seller
shall pay such deductible or shall give Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing
for such deductible and such deductible shall not be considered in determining Net Proceeds.

Section 6.4. Leasing & Other Activities Prior to Closing.

     (a) After the Effective Date, except as set forth below with respect to the Microbia
Documents, Seller shall not enter into any new lease or any material modification of any Lease or
lease (including the Rogers Street Ground Lease and the Twining Ground Lease) that would be binding
on Purchaser after Closing or grant any material consent or approval under any Lease or lease
(including the Rogers Street Ground Lease and the Twining Ground Lease) which consent or approval
must be requested in writing and delivered in writing in order to be effective without Purchaser’s
prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed;
provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be required to obtain
Purchaser’s consent to enter into any modification, renewal or extension of

 

 

any Lease or lease, or to grant any consent under any Lease or lease, to the extent that the
same is required pursuant to the applicable terms of the Lease or lease; provided, further, that
Purchaser may withhold its consent in its sole discretion if, assuming the Closing were to occur,
any action could jeopardize BioMed Realty Trust, Inc.’s, a Maryland corporation (“Purchaser’s
REIT Entity”), status as a real estate investment trust within the meaning of Sections 856
through 860 of the Code or cause the Purchaser’s REIT Entity to be in receipt of income that does
not constitute “rent from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code. When
seeking such consent from Purchaser, Seller shall provide Purchaser with a description of the
proposed transaction and, if Purchaser does not notify Seller in writing of its disapproval within
two (2) Business Days, Purchaser shall be deemed to have consented to the transaction described in
such notice. If Purchaser disapproves such request, then Purchaser’s written notice shall specify
in reasonable detail the reasons for such disapproval. If the Closing occurs, Purchaser shall
reimburse Seller at Closing for all Lease Expenses related to any new Lease or material
modification of an existing Lease. Purchaser acknowledges receipt of a draft Fourth Amendment to
Lease for Microbia, Inc. dated as of January 7, 2007 for space at 320 Bent Street, Cambridge,
Massachusetts and a draft Lease for Microbia, Inc. dated as of January 12, 2007 for space at 301
Binney Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts (such amendment and lease collectively being the
“Microbia Documents”). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.4(a),
Purchaser has approved such drafts of the Microbia Documents and Purchaser’s consent shall not be
necessary in connection with the execution thereof by Rogers Street, LLC so long as the final forms
of such documents contain no material adverse changes to any terms set forth in the drafts of the
Microbia Documents that have been provided to the Purchaser.

     (b) After the Effective Date, Seller shall not enter into any new agreements or contracts with
respect to the Property that would be binding on Purchaser or material modifications of any such
agreements or contracts, or any existing Major Line Item Contracts, Miscellaneous Consultant
Agreements, Property Management Agreements, the Master Deed, the CER Declaration, the Environmental
Insurance Policies, or Other Matters that would be binding on Purchaser after the Closing, or grant
any material consent or approval under any of the Major Line Item Contracts which consent or
approval must be requested in writing and delivered in writing in order to be effective that would
be binding on Purchaser after Closing, without the written consent of Purchaser, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that Purchaser’s
consent shall not be required with respect to any contract that is not binding on Purchaser or that
can be terminated without penalty on not more than thirty (30) days prior written notice; provided,
further, that Purchaser may withhold its consent in its sole discretion if, assuming the Closing
were to occur, any action could jeopardize Purchaser’s REIT Entity’s status as a real estate
investment trust within the meaning of Sections 856 through 860 of the Code or cause the
Purchaser’s REIT Entity to be in receipt of income that does not constitute “rent from real
property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code. If Purchaser does not notify Seller in
writing of its disapproval within two (2) Business Days after notice thereof from Seller, Purchaser
shall be deemed to have consented to such requested action. If Purchaser disapproves any such
request, then Purchaser’s written notice shall specify in reasonable detail the reasons for such
disapproval. Without limitation of the foregoing, change orders and/or approvals for additional
architectural and engineering services approved under the Major Line Item Contracts (including
those to implement Tenant improvements Seller as Landlord has agreed to implement under any Lease)
shall be deemed non-material

 

 

modifications of such contracts that do not require the approval of Purchaser to the extent
the same are (x) reimbursable by Tenants under the Leases, (y) to be paid for out of a tenant
improvement allowance for which a balance remains under a Lease or (z) not reimbursable by Tenants,
but have a value of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) or less in each instance and One
Million Dollars ($1,000,000) or less in the aggregate.

     (c) At all times prior to Closing, Seller shall (i) continue to conduct business with respect
to the Property substantially in the same manner in which said business has been heretofore
conducted, (ii) perform its obligations under the Leases and any contracts or other agreements
affecting the Property (including, without limitation, the Major Line Item Contracts, the
Miscellaneous Consultant Agreements, the Property Management Agreements, the Master Deed, the CER
Declaration, the Environmental Insurance Policies and the Other Matters), (iii) continue to insure
the Property substantially as it is currently insured, (iv) continue to pursue the development and
construction of the Major Line Item Project in a diligent and prudent manner consistent with the
Major Line Item Contracts, the Miscellaneous Consultant Agreements and the Other Matters, (v) not
transfer any development rights under the Master Deed or the CER Declaration, and (vi) not take any
action that would cause any of the Seller Representations to become inaccurate in any material
respect or any of the covenants of Seller to be materially breached. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Seller shall pay all accounts payable, and any debts or obligations
owed by Seller relating to the Property when due (“when due,” “coming due” or like
words means the time for payment set forth in any contract, or if no time is set forth then within
thirty days (30) of the date when an invoice for payment is received by Seller).

     (d) Seller shall not remove from the Real Property any Construction Personal Property or other
Personal Property used in connection with the operation of the Real Property (other than as is
prudent in the ordinary course of operating the Property) unless it is replaced with a comparable
item of equal quality and quantity as existed as of the time of such removal (but nothing herein
shall be deemed to make Seller responsible for the acts of others at the Real Property).

     (e) Seller shall provide Purchaser with copies of all notices of default given under the Major
Line Item Contracts.

     (f) No later than the Effective Date, Seller (i) shall remove the Property from the market and
(ii) shall not actively solicit or negotiate with any other prospective purchasers of the Property;
provided, however, that nothing herein shall in any way affect or apply to any dealings that Seller

     (g) Seller shall provide Purchaser with copies of all written notices under the Linbeck
Contact or the Arrowstreet Agreement from, respectively, the Contractor and the Architect for the

     (h) Seller shall provide Purchaser with copies of all written notices under any agreement,
contract or other document with respect to which a Certificate is required to be delivered pursuant

     Section 6.5. Science Park Agreement. Purchaser and Seller hereby
acknowledge and agree that (a) Purchaser and certain affiliates of Seller have this day entered
into the Science Park Purchase and Sale Agreement with respect to the Science Park Property, (b) it
shall be a condition precedent to the Closing hereunder that Purchaser and Seller close the
purchase and sale of the Science Park Property pursuant to the Science Park Purchase and Sale
Agreement concurrently herewith, (c) it shall be a condition precedent to the closing of the
purchase and sale of the Science Park Property under the Science Park Purchase and Sale Agreement
that the Closing hereunder shall have occurred concurrently therewith, (d) in the event that either
the Closing or the Closing Date hereunder or the closing or the closing date under the Science Park
Purchase and Sale Agreement is adjourned or extended, the other automatically shall be so adjourned
or extended, (e) in the event that this Agreement or the Science Park Purchase and Sale Agreement
is terminated, the other automatically shall be terminated (and if both agreements are so
terminated due to a termination by Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.2 of either such
agreement, then the Non-Refundable Deposit shall promptly be paid to Seller pursuant to Section
5.2(c) of this Agreement), (f) a default by Purchaser under this Agreement or the Science Park
Purchase and Sale Agreement shall be considered a default by Purchaser under both such agreements
(subject to all applicable remedies under each such agreement) and (g) a default by Seller under
this Agreement or such affiliates of Seller under the Science Park Agreement shall be considered a
default by Seller and such affiliates of Seller (as applicable) under both such agreements (subject
to all applicable remedies under each such agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller, in
Seller’s sole and absolute discretion, may elect to waive the conditions set forth in clause (b)
above by providing written notice of such election to Purchaser, such that the Closing may occur
hereunder without the closing of the purchase and sale of the Science Park Property pursuant to the
Science Park Purchase and Sale Agreement, but in no event shall this Section 6.5 ever be
construed to allow Seller to waive any closing condition in its favor such that Purchaser is
required to close under the Science Park Purchase and Sale Agreement but is not permitted to close
under this Agreement.

     Section 6.6. Twining Notice. If not previously delivered, promptly after
the Effective Date Seller shall deliver an offer substantially in the form attached as Schedule
6.6 (the “Twining Notice”) pursuant to the Notice of Right of First Offer between
Seller and TP/P Kendall Square LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Twining”),
including proposing parking and other matters set forth therein, to trigger Twining’s right of
first offer under such Notice of Right of First Offer with respect to the Parcel E East Development
Rights, and in connection with the Twining Notice Seller may also request that Twining make an
offer to purchase Parcel E-1H (notwithstanding the fact that Twining has no right thereto under
such Notice of Right of First Offer). In the event that Twining elects to purchase the Parcel E
East Development Rights and/or Parcel E-1H and closes its purchase thereof prior to Closing, then
such parcel(s) or development rights shall not be conveyed to Purchaser hereunder and the Purchase
Price shall be decreased in accordance with the allocation(s) set forth with respect to such
parcel(s) or development rights in Section 2.2(a). In the event that (a) Twining does not
elect to purchase the Parcel E East Development Rights and/or Parcel E-1H or (b) does elect to
purchase the Parcel E

 

 

East Development Rights and/or Parcel E-1H but does not close its purchase thereof prior to
Closing, Purchaser (as successor-in-interest of Kendall Square LLC) shall perform such transaction
and upon the closing, if any, thereunder shall be entitled to payment from Twining on account of
Twining’s exercise thereof (and if Twining duly exercises its rights to so purchase the Parcel E
East Development Rights and/or Parcel E-1H, its deposit in connection therewith shall be assigned
to and assumed by Purchaser at the Closing under this Agreement, and if Twining relinquishes such
deposit, then Purchaser shall also be entitled to such deposit). In the event that Twining waives
or elects, or is deemed to have elected, not to exercise its rights to purchase any such parcel(s)
or development rights, then Purchaser shall assume and perform the same following such waiver or
election by Twining. The provisions of this Section 6.6 shall survive the Closing.

     Section 6.7. Thypin Rent Dispute and Environmental Arbitration. Purchaser
shall assume responsibility for the Thypin Rent Dispute and the Thypin Environmental Arbitration
from and after the Closing. Upon the Closing, Purchaser and Seller shall reasonably cooperate in
promptly transferring to Purchaser, and thereafter reasonably cooperating with each other, in
Purchaser’s assumption of responsibility for the Thypin Rent Dispute and the Thypin Environmental
Arbiration. Such cooperation shall include, without limitation, cooperation by Seller’s counsel
that is currently representing Seller in connection with such matters and Seller’s continuing
cooperation with Purchaser and Purchaser’s counsel with respect to furnishing responses to
discovery requests, assisting Purchaser with responses to interrogatories, furnishing testimony at
depositions and at trial and generally being available to Purchaser and its counsel to provide
information with respect to such matters, all of the foregoing to be furnished without charge to
Purchaser. By assuming the Thypin Environmental Arbitration, Purchaser shall only assume such
arbitration proceeding and matters related thereto, but shall not assume any additional obligation
or liability with respect to environmental matters other than those obligations and liabilities
that Purchaser has either expressly assumed under this Agreement or assumes under applicable law on
account of its ownership of the Property.

     Section 6.8. Twining Documents. Twining is entitled to an amendment to the
Master Deed and a unit deed in accordance with the Assignment of Development Rights. Without
limiting the generality of any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that Seller
executes, delivers and records prior to Closing any such documents that are required to be
executed, delivered and recorded under the Assignment of Development Rights, such actions shall not
(x) constitute a default under this Agreement by Seller, (y) affect the Purchase Price or (z)
affect any other obligation of Purchaser under this Agreement. Seller is entitled to a unit deed
conveying Parcel E-1H in accordance with the Turnkey Space Agreement. In the event that such
conveyance occurs prior to Closing, subject to the provisions of Section 6.6 above, then
the units constituting Parcel E-1H shall be a portion of the Property and, at Closing Seller shall
provide Purchaser with a unit deed for Parcel E-1H conveying such parcel to Purchaser in accordance
with this Agreement.

under the laws of the State of Maryland. The Person(s) executing this Agreement on behalf of
Purchaser has been duly authorized to do so and this Agreement constitutes the valid and legally
binding obligation of Purchaser, enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with its terms;

     (c) There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Purchaser,
threatened in writing, against or affecting Purchaser which, if determined adversely to Purchaser,
would adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations hereunder;

     (d) Purchaser has full right, power and authority and is duly authorized to enter into this
Agreement, to perform each of the covenants on its part to be performed hereunder and to execute
and deliver, and to perform its obligations under all documents required to be executed and
delivered by it pursuant to this Agreement;

     (e) Neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement nor compliance herewith
(a) conflicts or will conflict with or results or will result in a breach of or constitutes or will
constitute a default under (1) the charter documents or by-laws of Purchaser, (2) to Purchaser’s
knowledge, any law or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority,
or (3) any agreement or instrument to which Purchaser is a party or by which it is bound or (b)
results in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon its property pursuant
to any such agreement or instrument; and

 

 

     (f) No authorization, consent or approval of any governmental authority (including courts) is

have inspected and to have knowledge of) all of the documents referred to in this Agreement
(including those made available through the Due Diligence Materials) and any others delivered, or

deemed not to have discovered any matter which would form the basis for a claim by Purchaser that
Seller has breached any representation, warranty or covenant of Seller made in this Agreement;
provided that the provisions of this sentence shall not apply to the representations or warranties
set forth in clauses (b)(i), (b)(ii), (b)(iii), (b)(iv)(a), (b)(vi), (b)(vii) or (c)(v) of

any of Seller’s representations or warranties set forth in Section 7.2 are untrue in any
respect, and Purchaser nevertheless proceeds with the Closing despite such knowledge or deemed
knowledge (as opposed to exercising its rights, to the extent applicable, under Section
10.3), then such knowledge shall be attributed to Purchaser and the breach by Seller of the
representations and warranties as to which Purchaser shall have such knowledge shall be waived by
Purchaser, such representations and warranties shall be deemed modified to conform them to the

     (b) As used in this Agreement the phrase “deemed to know” (or words of similar import) shall
have the following meaning: Purchaser shall be “deemed to know” that a representation or warranty
of Seller (other than the representations or warranties set forth in clauses (b)(i), (b)(ii),
(b)(iii), (b)(iv)(a), (b)(vi), (b)(vii) or (c)(v) of Section 7.2) is untrue, inaccurate or
incorrect to the extent that this Agreement, the Reports, Due Diligence Materials, documents,
studies, reports and other information made available by Seller to Purchaser or its agents prior to
the commencement of the Restricted Period, or any Certificate contains information which is
inconsistent with such representation or warranty.

     (c) Seller shall have the right to amend and otherwise modify the Certificates and the
Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto and amend and otherwise modify the representations and
warranties made by Seller prior to the commencement of the Restricted Period by written notice
thereof to Purchaser, and if Purchaser fails to terminate this Agreement as provided in Section
5.2, this Agreement shall conclusively be deemed amended to incorporate all such amendments and
modifications. Following the commencement of the Restricted Period and prior to the Closing,
Seller shall have the right to amend and otherwise modify the Certificates and the Schedules and
Exhibits attached hereto and amend and otherwise modify the representations and warranties made by
Seller by written notice thereof to Purchaser (an “Update”). With respect to any Update,
Purchaser shall have five (5) Business Days (the “Update Termination Period”) commencing
upon Purchaser’s receipt of written notice of such Update, during which Purchaser may terminate
this Agreement (except for the Surviving Obligations), but only on account of such Update, by
written notice to Seller and receive a refund of the Deposit. In the event that any Update
Termination Period commences less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, then the
Closing may be adjourned by Purchaser for a period of up to five (5) Business Days such that
Purchaser may review such Update and the Closing shall be adjourned until the next Business Day

Agreement during an applicable Update Termination Period, then Purchaser shall have no right to
terminate this Agreement on account of such Update, and this Agreement shall conclusively be deemed
amended to incorporate such Update.

     (d) Seller and Purchaser agree that, each shall, subject always to Article 10 and the
limitations set forth therein, be liable for the direct, but not consequential or punitive, damages
resulting from any breach of its representations and warranties expressly set forth in Article 7
hereof or in any document or certificate delivered in connection herewith; provided, however, that:
(i) such representations and warranties are personal to Seller and Purchaser and, notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, may not be assigned to or enforced by any other Person;
provided, however, that Purchaser may assign the Seller Representations and Purchaser’s rights
under this Article 7 to any Permitted Assignee; and (ii) the representations and warranties of
Seller set forth in this Agreement or expressly set forth as such in any document or certificate
delivered by Seller in connection herewith shall survive the Closing for a period of time expiring
on the earlier of (x) nine (9) months following the Closing or (y) December 31, 2007 (such period
of time being the “Claim Period”), and no action or proceeding thereon shall be valid or
enforceable, at law or in equity, unless (x) Purchaser provides written notice of any potential
claim to Seller within the Claim Period, which notice shall describe such potential claim in
reasonable detail based upon the information available to Purchaser at such time and (y) a legal
proceeding is commenced within forty-five (45) days after Seller’s receipt of such notice.

 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall have no liability for any such breach: (a)
regarding which Purchaser or its attorneys, agents or consultants are deemed to know the facts or
circumstances prior to Closing; or (b) that was disclosed in this Agreement or any exhibit hereto,
in the Due Diligence Materials, or in any other document, study or report delivered or made
available by Seller to Purchaser or its attorneys, consultants or agents at or before the Closing
(provided that the provisions of this clause (b) shall not apply to the representations or
warranties set forth in clauses (b)(i), (b)(ii), (b)(iii), (b)(iv)(a), (b)(vi), (b)(vii) or (c)(v)
of Section 7.2). Purchaser further agrees that no claim may or shall be made for any
alleged breach of any representations or warranties made by Seller under or relating to this
Agreement unless the amount of such claim or claims, individually or in the aggregate, exceeds the
Threshold Amount, and such claim or claims shall never, individually or in the aggregate shall
never exceed the Damage Cap.

     Section 7.4 Status of Reports. Purchaser understands and acknowledges that
any Reports or other information provided to Purchaser is without any representation or warranty,
express or implied, as to the completeness or accuracy of the facts, presumptions, conclusions or
other matters contained therein. Purchaser has been expressly advised by Seller to conduct an
independent investigation and inspection of the Property utilizing experts as Purchaser deems to be
necessary for an independent assessment of all liability and risk with respect to the Property.
Except for Seller’s Representations, Purchaser shall rely only upon Purchaser’s own investigations
and inquiries with respect to all such liability and risk, including all liability and risk with
respect to the presence of hazardous materials in, on or around the Property.

     Section 8.4. Costs and Prorations.

     (a) General. The following listed items allocable to the Property will be adjusted to
the payment period that includes the date of Closing and shall be prorated between Seller and
Purchaser as of the Closing Date in accordance with this Section 8.4. All such items
attributable

 

 

to the period prior to the Closing Date shall be credited or charged to Seller, and all such items
attributable to the period commencing on the Closing Date shall be credited or charged to
Purchaser. The provisions of this Section 8.4 shall survive the Closing. No prorations shall be
made with respect to the Major Line Items, as such matters are treated in accordance with
Section 2.2 of this Agreement.

     (b) Rents: Rents and other charges payable by tenants under the Leases
(“Rents”) shall be apportioned as and when collected. Any Rents collected by Purchaser
(which shall include Rents collected by any agent acting for Purchaser) subsequent to the Closing
(whether due and payable prior to or subsequent to the Closing Date) shall be adjusted as of the
11:59 p.m. on the Closing Date (the “Adjustment Point”), and any portion thereof properly
allocable to periods prior to the Adjustment Point, net of costs of collection properly allocable
thereto, if any, shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller (or such parties as may be directed by
Seller) promptly after the collection thereof by Purchaser, but subject to the further provisions
of this Section in the case of Rents due prior to the Adjustment Point. If prior to the Closing
any entity within the term Seller have collected any Rents (which shall include Rents collected by
any agent acting for such parties) which are properly allocable in whole or in part to periods
subsequent to the Adjustment Point, the portion thereof so allocable to periods subsequent to the
Adjustment Point, net of costs of collection properly allocable thereto, if any, shall be credited
to Purchaser by Seller at the Closing. As used in this Section the term “costs of
collection” shall mean and include reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred by
Purchaser or Seller in collecting any Rents, but shall not include the regular fees payable to any
property manager for the Property, the payroll costs of any of Seller’s employees or any other
internal costs or overhead of Seller or Purchaser.

	 	1.	 	Ten (10) business days prior to the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser
a list of all tenants which are delinquent in payment of Rents, which list shall set
forth the amount of each such delinquency, the period to which each such delinquency
relates and the nature of the amount due itemizing separately, as applicable, fixed
monthly rent, tax reimbursements, common area maintenance, operating expense
escalations, electric charges, charges for tenant services, charges for overtime
services, percentage rent and other charges, if any. Any amount collected by Purchaser
after the Closing Date, from tenants who owe Rents for periods prior to the Closing
Date, shall be applied (i) first, in payment of Rents for the month in which the
Closing Date occurs (the “Closing Month”), and in payment of Rents for the
periods following the Closing Month and (ii) second, in payment of Rents for the
periods preceding the Closing Month. Each such amount, less any costs of collection
(including reasonable counsel fees) reasonably allocable thereto, shall be adjusted and
prorated as provided above, and the party who receives such amount shall promptly pay
over to the other party the portion thereof to which it is so entitled.
	 
	 	2.	 	Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to bill and collect any
delinquencies set forth on the list delivered by Seller pursuant to this Section for a
period of six (6) months after the Closing and the amount thereof, as, when and to the
extent collected by Purchaser, shall, if due to Seller pursuant to the provisions of
this Section, be paid by Purchaser to Seller (or such parties as directed by

 

 

	 	 	 	Seller), less any costs of collection (including reasonable counsel fees) reasonably
allocable thereto, promptly after the collection thereof by Purchaser. In no event
shall Purchaser be obligated to institute any actions or proceedings or to seek the
eviction of any tenant in order to collect any such delinquencies. Thereafter,
Seller shall have the right to sue tenants to collect such delinquencies and
Purchaser shall cooperate (but shall not be obligated to spend any money unless
Seller have agreed to reimburse Purchaser therefor) with Seller to the extent
reasonably necessary, provided, however, Seller shall have no right to cause any
such tenant to be evicted or to exercise any other “landlord” remedy (as set forth
in the Lease) against such tenant other than to sue for collection.
	 
	 	3.	 	Following the Closing and upon the written request of Seller, as applicable,
Purchaser shall submit or cause to be submitted to Seller, within thirty (30) days
after the end of each calendar quarter up to and including the calendar quarter which
includes the date that is six (6) months after the Closing Date, but only so long as
any delinquencies shall be owed to Seller, a statement which sets forth all collections
made by Purchaser from the tenants which owe such delinquencies through the end of such
calendar quarter. Seller shall have the right from time to time following the Closing
until ninety (90) days after receipt by Seller of the last quarterly statement required
hereunder, at Seller’s expense, to examine and audit so much of the books and records
of Purchaser as relate to such delinquencies in order to verify the collections
reported by Purchaser in such quarterly statements.
	 
	 	4.	 	Purchaser agrees not to waive or settle any delinquency owed in whole or in
part to Seller without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be
granted or withheld in Seller’s reasonable discretion.
	 
	 	5.	 	With respect to that portion of Rents which are payable on an annual,
semiannual or other non-monthly basis, all such payments which become due after the
Closing, to the extent allocable to periods prior to the Adjustment Point, shall be
paid by Purchaser to Seller (or such parties as may be directed by Seller) promptly
after receipt thereof, subject to costs of collection, if any, properly allocable
thereto. With respect to that portion of Rents that are attributable to payments of
expenses such as common area maintenance charges, association charges or advertising
and promotional charges, such Rents shall be apportioned based on which party paid or
will pay the correlating expenses for the relevant period. With respect to that
portion of Rents which are billed on an index-based formula or on an estimated basis
during the fiscal or other period for which paid, at the end of such fiscal or other
period Purchaser shall determine whether the items in question have been over billed or
under billed (or over- or under-estimated, as applicable). If there has been an over
billing or over-estimation and an over billed/estimated amount has been received,
Seller shall, promptly after request by Purchaser, pay to Purchaser the portion of such
over billed/estimated amount which is properly allocable to the period prior to the
Adjustment Point (to the extent such amount was actually received), and promptly
thereafter Purchaser shall reimburse the entire over billed/estimated amount to the
tenants which paid the same. If there has been an under billing or under-estimation,
the additional

 

 

	 	 	 	amount shall be billed by Purchaser to the tenants and any amount received by
Purchaser, net of costs of collection, if any, to the extent properly allocable to
periods prior to the Adjustment Point shall promptly be paid by Purchaser to Seller
(or such parties as may be directed by Seller). In the event that a tenant requires
an audit with respect to an over-billing or under-billing that relates to the time
period prior to the Adjustment Point, Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller and
Seller may either (i) conduct such audit at its sole cost and expense, in which case
Seller shall consult with Purchaser in the conduct of same and Purchaser shall
reasonably cooperate with Seller and provide Seller with reasonable access to any
books and records reasonably necessary to conduct such audit or (ii) decline to
conduct such audit, in which case Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for the
reasonable costs incurred by Purchaser to conduct such audit relating to the time
period prior to the Adjustment Point. Seller shall maintain all books and records
that may be relevant to any audit for the time period required by the respective
Lease, and provide Purchaser and the respective Tenant access thereto in connection
with any audit that is permitted by such Lease.
	 
	 	6.	 	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section, Seller (or
such parties as may be directed by Seller) shall be entitled to receive, and Purchaser
shall pay to Seller (or such parties as may be directed by Seller) promptly after
receipt thereof, net of costs of collection and reasonable attorneys’ fees, if any,
properly allocable thereto, (i) all amounts payable by tenants on account of all real
estate and personal property taxes, general and special assessments, water and sewer
charges, license fees and other fees and charges assessed or imposed by governmental
authorities upon the Properties (the “Impositions”) which, pursuant to the
terms of this Section, it is Seller’s obligation to pay and discharge (to the extent
Seller either paid such amounts or Purchaser received a credit therefor pursuant to
this Section), which amounts shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser in the
same manner as the Impositions to which they relate and (ii) all amounts payable by
tenants on account of utilities which, pursuant to the terms of this Section, it is
Seller’s obligation to pay and discharge (to the extent Seller either paid such amounts
or Purchaser received a credit therefor pursuant to this Section), which amounts shall
be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser in the same manner as the utilities to
which they relate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section,
Purchaser shall be entitled to receive, and Seller shall pay to Purchaser promptly
after receipt thereof, net of costs of collection and reasonable attorneys’ fees, if
any, properly allocable thereto, (i) all amounts payable by tenants on account of
Impositions which, pursuant to the terms of this Section, it is Purchaser’s obligation
to pay and discharge (to the extent Purchaser either paid such amounts or Seller
received a credit therefor pursuant to this Section), which amounts shall be
apportioned between Seller and Purchaser in the same manner as the Impositions to which
they relate and (ii) all amounts payable by tenants on account of utilities which,
pursuant to the terms of this Section, it is Purchaser’s obligation to pay and
discharge (to the extent Purchaser either paid such amounts or Seller (or a party
designated by Seller) received a credit therefor pursuant to this Section), which
amounts shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser in the same manner as the
utilities to which they relate.

 

 

	 	7.	 	Any advance rental deposits or payments held by Seller on the Closing Date and
applicable to periods of time subsequent to the Adjustment Point, and any security
deposits held by Seller on the Closing Date, together with any interest thereon, if
any, which, under the terms of the applicable Leases, is payable to the tenants
thereunder, shall be paid or credited to Purchaser at the Closing.

     (c) Cash Security Deposits/Letters of Credit. Purchaser shall be credited at Closing
with: (i) all cash security or other deposits held by or on behalf of Seller with respect to the
Property (other than any security deposits held in the form of a letter of credit or other non-cash
security); (ii) any rent prepaid beyond the Closing Date; and (iii) any interest earned as of the
Closing on cash security deposits or prepaid rent held by or on behalf of Seller, to the extent
that such interest is refundable to Tenants under the terms of the applicable Lease or applicable
law. The cost of transferring any letter of credit security deposits and the letter of credit
described in the following sentence shall be divided evenly between Seller and Purchaser.
Reference is made to that certain letter of credit in the amount of One Million Dollars
($1,000,000) with respect to CES matters which Kendall Square LLC has provided and which is secured
by One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) of cash held as collateral by the issuing bank. Such cash
collateral on account of such letter of credit shall be conveyed to Purchaser along with the other
property of Kendall Square LLC at Closing. On account of such cash collateral transfer a credit of
One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) shall be provided to Seller at Closing. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if Purchaser can effectuate an arrangement with the beneficiary of such letter of credit
prior to Closing such that (x) Purchaser provides replacement security to such Person and (y) the
Seller’s letter of credit is returned to Seller at Closing, then no such cash collateral transfer
or credit to Seller shall be required at Closing. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser
in Purchaser’s efforts to provide such replacement security to such Person.

     (d) Taxes. All real estate taxes assessed against the Real Property shall be prorated
between Seller and Purchaser on an accrual basis based upon the actual current tax bill. If the
most recent tax bill received by Seller before the Closing is not the actual current tax bill, then
Seller and Purchaser shall initially prorate the taxes at the Closing by applying 100% of the tax
rate for the period covered by the most current available tax bill to the latest assessed
valuation, and shall reprorate the taxes retroactively when the actual current tax bill is then
available. All real estate taxes accruing before the Closing shall be charged to Seller and all
such taxes accruing on and after the Closing shall be charged to Purchaser. Any refunds of real
estate taxes made after the Closing shall first be applied to the unreimbursed third-party costs
incurred by Seller or Purchaser in obtaining the refund, then shall be paid to Seller (for the
period prior to the Closing) and to Purchaser (for the period commencing on and after the Closing).
If any proceeding to determine the assessed value of the Real Property or the real estate taxes
payable with respect to the Real Property has been commenced before the Effective Date and shall be
continuing as of the Closing, Seller shall be authorized to continue to prosecute such proceeding
and Purchaser agrees to cooperate as reasonably requested with Seller and to execute any and all
documents reasonably requested by Seller in furtherance of the foregoing. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, Seller shall be liable for any “rollback” or similar taxes on the Houston
Real Property resulting from any exemption claimed by Seller with respect to the Houston Real
Property at any time during which such Houston Real Property was owned by Seller.

 

 

     (f) Lease Expenses. Seller shall pay all Seller Lease Expenses and Purchaser shall
pay all Purchaser Lease Expenses. At Closing, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for any and all
Purchaser Lease Expenses to the extent the same have been paid by Seller prior to Closing. In
addition, at Closing, Purchaser shall assume Seller’s obligations to pay, when due (whether on a
stated due date or by acceleration) any Lease Expenses unpaid as of the Closing including without
limitation the commissions listed on the attached Schedule 7.2(b)(iv)-4 to become due as
therein provided, and Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from
and against any and all claims for such Lease Expenses which remain unpaid for any reason at the
time of Closing, which obligations of Purchaser shall survive the Closing. Each party shall make
available to the other all records, bills, vouchers and other data in such party’s control
verifying Lease Expenses and the payment thereof. With respect to any construction management fees
due to Seller as the landlord under the Leases, all such fees shall be prorated between Seller and
Purchaser as of the Closing based upon the information available to the parties at such time, with
the actual amount thereof subsequently determined (based on the actual expenditures made during the
month in which the Closing occurs on which such fees are based divided by 30 and then multiplied by
the number of days in the month prior to and including the date of Closing) and appropriate
adjustment made pursuant to Section 8.4(n) below.

     (g) Utilities. Utilities and fuel charges, including water, telephone, sewer, steam,
electricity, gas, oil charges and any assignable deposits with utility companies will be adjusted
on the basis of current bills and readings obtained by Seller prior to the Closing, with
appropriate adjustments pursuant to Section 8.4(n) below made based on actual readings and
invoices closer to the Closing and reasonably extrapolated to be as of the Closing.

     (h) License and Permit Fees. Assignable license and permit fees.

     (i) Expenses of Operation. Other expenses of operation and similar items, including
without limitation, advertising and marketing expenses.

     (j) Customary Apportionments. Any other operating expenses and any other items
relating to the Real Property which, in accordance with customary business practice, customarily
would be apportioned between sellers and buyers of real estate. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Seller shall pay all costs of procuring and recording all instruments necessary to be delivered or
recorded in order to place title to the Real Property in the condition required hereunder at the
Closing.

     (k) CER Declaration. Any common area maintenance charges with respect to the Kendall
Square Real Property which are payable under the CER Declaration described in Schedule 4.1.

     (l) Rogers Street Ground Lease. Any amounts payable by Rogers Street, LLC as the
tenant under the Rogers Street Ground Lease (based on amounts Rogers Street, LLC claims are due
without regard to the Thypin Rent Dispute).

     (m) Bills and Invoices. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement
or in any other written agreement that may be entered into between Seller and Purchaser, Seller

 

 

has paid or will pay in full, prior to Closing (but subject to apportionment hereunder), all
bills and invoices for labor, goods, material and services of any kind relating to the Real
Property and utility charges (except if and to the extent such utility charges are billed directly
to tenants), that are due and payable on or prior to the Closing, and Purchaser will pay in full,
after the Closing (but subject to apportionment hereunder), all bills and invoices for labor,
goods, material and services of any kind relating to the Real Property and utility charges (except
if and to the extent such utility charges are billed directly to tenants), that are due and payable
after Closing.

     (n) Closing Statement. Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate to produce prior to the
Closing Date a schedule of prorations and closing costs that is as complete and accurate as
reasonably possible (the “Closing Statement”). If any of the aforesaid prorations cannot
be calculated accurately on the Closing Date, then they shall be estimated to the extent possible
as of the Closing and calculated as soon after the Closing Date as is feasible. All adjustments to
initial estimated prorations shall be made by the parties with due diligence and cooperation within
sixty (60) days following the Closing, or such later time as may be required to obtain necessary
information for proration, by prompt cash payment to the party yielding a net credit from such
prorations from the other party. So long as the parties have reasonably cooperated with respect to
such adjustments, the provisions of this Section 8.4 shall survive the Closing through the
final day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Closing occurs, and after
such period neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further rights or obligations under this
Section 8.4.

     (o) Closing Costs. Purchaser and Seller shall each pay their own legal fees related
to the preparation of this Agreement and all documents required to settle the transaction
contemplated hereby. Purchaser shall pay (i) all costs associated with its due diligence,
including the cost of appraisals, architectural, engineering, credit and environmental reports,
(ii) all title insurance premiums and charges and all title examination costs, and (iii) all survey
costs. Seller shall pay (i) all documentary stamp taxes owing with respect to the Deeds and the
Assignment and Assumption of Ground Lease, and (ii) the cost of recording the Deeds and, if any,
the Assignment and Assumption of Ground Lease. Purchaser and Seller shall each pay one-half of the
Escrow Agent’s fees for acting as escrow agent. All other customary real property purchase and
sale closing costs shall be paid by Seller or Purchaser in accordance with the custom in the
jurisdiction where the Real Property is located.

ARTICLE 9

Real Estate Commission

     Section 9.1. Commissions. If and when, but only if and when, the Closing is
completed and the Purchase Price is paid in full, Seller shall be obligated to pay a real estate
commission and/or brokerage fee to Seller’s Broker(s) in accordance with a separate agreement
between Seller and Seller’s Broker(s). Seller’s Broker(s) shall indemnify Seller and Purchaser
against all claims, costs and liability relating to any broker or other Person claiming by, through
or under Seller’s Broker(s). By execution of this Agreement, Seller’s Broker(s) agrees to the
foregoing matters. Seller and Purchaser respectively shall indemnify and hold harmless the other
on account of all claims of any other brokers or finders claiming by, through, under or on account
of dealings with them in any way related to this purchase and sale, including, without limitation,

 

 

reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred by the indemnified party. The
provisions of this paragraph shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 10

Termination and Default

     Section 10.1. Failure to Perform by Seller. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, if Seller fails to perform in any material respect any
covenant of Seller, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or if any of
Seller’s Representations shall not be true, correct and complete in any material respect upon
Closing, except (a) for changes due to the operation of the Real Property occurring prior to
Closing which are not prohibited by this Agreement (therefore there is no breach), (b) if the
dollar amount of the damages resulting from any breach of representation or failure to perform any
covenant together with all dollar amounts of all other damages resulting from any breach of
representation or failure to perform any other covenant is less than Two Hundred Thousand Dollars
($200,000) (in which case the breach is deemed waived by Purchaser, the “Threshold Amount”)
or (c) if otherwise waived by Purchaser, then Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be
either: (i) if and only if the breach by Seller is a breach of any of Seller’s covenants hereunder,
sue for specific performance with respect to the performance of same, subject to any limitations
expressly set forth in this Agreement; (ii) terminate this Agreement at the Closing (as it may be
adjourned under this Agreement) in which event this Agreement, without further action of the
parties, shall become null and void and no party shall have any further rights or obligations under
this Agreement, except for the return of the Deposit to the Purchaser and the Surviving
Obligations; or (iii) waive such default and proceed to Closing without any reduction in, abatement
of, or credit against the Purchase Price; if Purchaser fails to make any such election, Purchaser
shall be deemed to have elected the remedy set forth in Section 10.1(iii).

     Section 10.2. Notice to Seller. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, Purchaser shall give Seller written notice specifying any failure to perform by Seller of
any of Seller’s covenants hereunder or breach of any Seller Representation hereunder, which notice
shall be given within five (5) Business Days of the date Purchaser obtains actual knowledge of such
breach or failure to perform (or on or prior to the Closing Date, if the date Purchaser obtains
such actual knowledge is within 5 Business Days of the Closing Date); if Purchaser fails to deliver
such notice within such five-day period (or by Closing, if earlier), such failure or breach shall
be deemed waived by Purchaser. Upon receipt of such notice, Seller shall have until Closing (and
may adjourn the Closing for up to sixty (60) days if such adjournment is reasonably necessary to
cure such breach or failure to perform) to cure such breach or failure to perform. At the option
of Seller, Seller may cure such breach or failure to perform by giving Purchaser a credit against
the Purchase Price at the Closing for a reasonable estimate of the dollar amount to cure same if
quantifiable in excess of the Threshold Amount, but such credit shall only be that amount that
exceeds the Threshold Amount.

 

 

     Section 10.3. Failure to Perform by Purchaser.

     (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if Purchaser fails
to perform in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or materially breaches its
representations or warranties (such failure or breach shall also be deemed a failure of a condition
precedent to Seller’s obligations to consummate their respective obligations under this Agreement),
the Deposit shall be forfeited to Seller as liquidated damages (which shall be Seller’s sole and
exclusive remedy against Purchaser), at which time this Agreement shall be null and void and no
party shall have any rights or obligations under this Agreement, except for the Surviving
Obligations. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that (i) the Deposit is a reasonable
estimate of and bears a reasonable relationship to the damages that would be suffered and costs
incurred by Seller as a result of having withdrawn the Property from sale and the failure of
Closing to occur due to a default of Purchaser under this Agreement; (ii) the actual damages
suffered and costs incurred by Seller as a result of such withdrawal and failure to close due to a
default of Purchaser under this Agreement would be extremely difficult and impractical to
determine; (iii) Purchaser seeks to limit its liability under this Agreement to the amount of the
Deposit in the event this Agreement is terminated and the transaction contemplated by this
Agreement does not close due to a default of Purchaser under this Agreement; and (iv) the Deposit
shall be and constitutes valid liquidated damages; provided, however, Purchaser and Seller agree
that the liquidated damages do not apply to any indemnity obligation of the Purchaser under this
Agreement.

     (b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller shall give Purchaser written
notice specifying any failure to perform by Purchaser of any of Purchaser’s covenants hereunder or
breach of any of Purchaser’s representations and warranties hereunder, which notice shall be given
within five (5) Business Days of the date Seller obtains actual knowledge of such breach or failure
to perform (or on or prior to the Closing Date, if the date Seller obtains such actual knowledge is
within five (5) Business Days of the Closing Date); if Seller fails to deliver such notice within
such five-day period (or by Closing, if earlier), such failure or breach shall be deemed waived by
Seller. Upon receipt of such notice, Purchaser shall have until Closing (and may adjourn the
Closing for up to five (5) Business Days if such adjournment is reasonably necessary to cure such
breach or failure to perform) to cure such breach or failure to perform. The provisions of this
Section 10.3(b) shall not apply to any failure of Purchaser to perform at Closing, which
shall be a default under this Agreement for which no notice and cure period is provided.

     Section 10.4. Damage Cap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Agreement, and subject to the limitation of Purchaser’s remedies set forth in Section
10.1, the maximum aggregate liability of the Seller in the aggregate for any and all damages or
Claims hereunder or in connection herewith, including without limitation, any Claims for
indemnification hereunder and Claims under any documents delivered in connection herewith, shall be
Five Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($5,500,000) (the “Damage Cap”); provided,
however, that Seller shall not have any liability for any such damages or Claims until the
aggregate amount of same is in excess of the Threshold Amount (in which case the amount of said
damages or Claims up to the Threshold Amount are deemed waived by Purchaser); and provided further,
that Seller shall not be liable for any consequential, special, punitive or indirect damages. The
provisions of this Section 10.4 shall survive Closing or earlier termination of this
Agreement.

 

 

     Section 10.5. Post-Closing Escrow. As security for Seller’s obligations, if
any, during the Claim Period, at the Closing Seller shall either (i) deposit in an account
designated by the Escrow Agent an amount equal to the Damage Cap in immediately available funds, or
(ii) deliver to the Escrow Agent a letter of credit in a form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser in
the stated amount of the Damage Cap (such funds, together with any interest earned thereon, net of
investment costs, or such Letter of Credit, the “Post-Closing Escrow Funds”). Such
Post-Closing Escrow Funds shall be held by Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Instructions in the
form attached hereto as Schedule 10.5 (the “Post-Closing Escrow Agreement”) until
the expiration of the Claim Period (unless, prior to the expiration of the Claim Period, a claim
for such Post-Closing Escrow Funds is made by Purchaser, in which event the Post-Closing Escrow
Funds shall continue to be held in accordance with the terms of the Post-Closing Escrow Agreement)
and disbursed in accordance with the terms of such Post-Closing Escrow Agreement.

     SECTION 10.6. RELEASE. WITHOUT LIMITING ANY PROVISION IN THIS AGREEMENT,
SELLER AND PURCHASER, FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS AND THEIR AFFILIATES, HEREBY
RELEASE AND FOREVER DISCHARGE EACH OTHER AND EACH OTHER’S DIRECT AND INDIRECT OWNERS, AND THE
MANAGERS, MEMBERS, PARTNERS, BENEFICIAL OWNERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS AND
AGENTS, RESPECTIVELY, OF THE FOREGOING, FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, ACTS, DEBTS, DEMANDS, ACTIONS,
CAUSES OF ACTION, SUITS, SUMS OF MONEY, GUARANTIES, BONDS, COVENANTS, CONTRACTS, ACCOUNTS,
AGREEMENTS, PROMISES, REPRESENTATIONS, RESTITUTIONS, OMISSIONS, VARIANCES, DAMAGES, OBLIGATIONS,
COSTS, ENVIRONMENTAL RELEASES, RESPONSE ACTIONS, FEES AND LIABILITIES OF EVERY NAME AND NATURE
WHATSOEVER, BOTH AT LAW AND IN EQUITY, KNOWN AND UNKNOWN (ANY OF THE FOREGOING, A “CLAIM”),
WHICH THEY AND THEIR SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE WITH RESPECT TO MATTERS
EXISTING AS OF THE CLOSING DATE AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY AND EACH OTHER’S DIRECT OR INDIRECT OWNERS,
OR THE MANAGERS, MEMBERS, PARTNERS, BENEFICIAL OWNERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS OR
AGENTS, RESPECTIVELY, OF THE FOREGOING, ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH OR IN ANY MANNER RELATED TO THIS
AGREEMENT, THE PROPERTY, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, EXCEPTING SOLELY THE SURVIVING
OBLIGATIONS AND OBLIGATIONS ARISING UNDER THE ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT AND ANY OTHER
INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED IN CONNECTION WITH THE CLOSING.

     SECTION 10.7. SURVIVAL. The provisions of this Article 10 shall survive the
Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.

 

 

ARTICLE 11

Miscellaneous

     Section 11.1. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated herein, and it
supersedes all prior discussions, understandings or agreements between the parties. All Exhibits
and Schedules attached hereto are a part of this Agreement and are incorporated herein by
reference.

     Section 11.2. Binding On Successors and Assigns. Subject to Section
11.3, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective successors and assigns.

     Section 11.3. No Assignment . Neither this Agreement nor any interest
hereunder shall be assigned or transferred by Seller or Purchaser; provided, however, that
Purchaser may assign its rights hereunder at Closing to any Permitted Assignee, and Purchaser may
designate one or more Related Entities or Joint Venture Entities to take title to all or any
portion of the Property and to execute and deliver the documents to be executed and delivered by
Purchaser hereunder in connection with the Closing. For purposes of clarity, Purchaser shall have
the right to assign its right to take title to all or any portion of the Property under this
Agreement to one or more Related Entities or Joint Venture Entities solely for the purposes of such
entity taking title to all or any portion of the Property and executing such documents, but the
Purchaser named herein (i.e., BioMed Realty, L.P.) shall not be released hereunder and shall
continue to be liable for all covenants and obligations of “Purchaser” hereunder and shall execute
and deliver at Closing any required instruments and documents that “Purchaser” (as opposed to such
Related Entities or Joint Venture Entities) may be required to deliver hereunder. The parties
acknowledge that this will result in the execution of additional conveyancing documents. As used
in this Agreement, the term “Purchaser” shall be deemed to include the initial Purchaser
and any permitted designee of the initial Purchaser and all such Purchaser entities shall be
jointly and severally liable under this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon Seller and Purchaser and their respective
successors and assigns.

     Section 11.4. Waiver. The excuse or waiver of the performance by a party of
any obligation of the other party under this Agreement shall only be effective if evidenced by a
written statement signed by the party so excusing or waiving. No delay in exercising any right or
remedy shall constitute a waiver thereof, and no waiver by Seller or Purchaser of the breach of any
covenant of this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of
the same or any other covenant or condition of this Agreement.

     Section 11.5. Governing Law.

     This Agreement shall be governed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof.
EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW,
ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING

 

 

TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. Any legal action or proceeding
with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated herein may be brought in the
courts of the State of Massachusetts located in the County of Suffolk or of the United States of
America for the District of Massachusetts, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each
of the parties hereto hereby accepts generally and unconditionally, the exclusive jurisdiction of
the aforesaid courts. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, in connection with any
such action or proceeding, any objection, including, without limitation, any objection to the
laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, which it may now or hereafter have
to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in such respective jurisdictions.

     Section 11.6. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed, including
executed by facsimile or electronic signature, in any number of counterparts and it shall be
sufficient that the signature of each party appear on one or more such counterparts. All
counterparts shall collectively constitute a single agreement. A facsimile or electronic signature
to this Agreement shall be sufficient to prove the execution hereof by any Person.

     Section 11.7. Notices. All notices or other communications required or
provided to be sent by either party shall be in writing and shall be: (i) sent by United States
Postal Service, certified mail, return receipt requested, (ii) sent by any nationally known
overnight delivery service for next day delivery, (iii) delivered in person or (iv) sent by
facsimile (with a copy delivered by any of the methods set forth in the foregoing (i), (ii) and

     Any address or name specified above may be changed by notice given to the addressee by the
other party in accordance with this Section 11.7. The inability to deliver notice because
of a changed address of which no notice was given as provided above, or because of rejection or
other refusal to accept any notice, shall be deemed to be the receipt of the notice as of the date
of such inability to deliver or rejection or refusal to accept. Any notice to be given by any
party hereto may be given by the counsel for such party.

     Section 11.8. Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of a proceeding or action by one
party against the other party with respect to the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement,
the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable costs and expenses including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, whether at the investigative, pretrial, trial or appellate
level. The prevailing party shall be determined by the court based upon an assessment of which
party’s major arguments or position prevailed.

     Section 11.9. IRS Real Estate Sales Reporting. Purchaser and Seller hereby
agree that the Escrow Agent shall act as “the person responsible for closing” the transaction which
is the subject of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6045(e) of the Code and shall prepare and file
all informational returns, including IRS Form 1099-S, and shall otherwise comply with the
provisions of Section 6045(e) of the Code.

     Section 11.10. Time Periods. Any reference in this Agreement to the time for
the performance of obligations or elapsed time shall mean consecutive calendar days, months, or
years, as applicable. In the event the time for performance of any obligation hereunder expires on
a day that is not a Business Day, the time for performance shall be extended to the next Business
Day.

 

 

     Section 11.11. Modification of Agreement. No modification of this Agreement
shall be deemed effective unless expressly provided for herein or in writing expressly purporting
to modify or amend this Agreement and signed by both Seller and Purchaser.

     Section 11.12. Descriptive Headings; Word Meaning. The descriptive headings
of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not control or
affect the meaning or construction of any provisions of this Agreement. Words such as “herein”,
“hereinafter”, “hereof” and “hereunder” when used in reference to this Agreement, refer to this
Agreement as a whole and not merely to a subdivision in which such words appear, unless the context
otherwise requires. The singular shall include the plural and the masculine gender shall include
the feminine and neuter, and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The word
“including” shall not be restrictive and shall be interpreted as if followed by the words “without
limitation.”

     Section 11.13. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement
and all covenants and deadlines hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser and Seller
hereby confirm their intention and agreement that time shall be of the essence of each and every
provision of this Agreement, notwithstanding any subsequent modification or extension of any date
or time period that is provided for under this Agreement. The agreement of Purchaser and Seller
that time is of the essence of each and every provision of this Agreement shall not be waived or
modified by any conduct of the parties, and the agreement of Purchaser and Seller that time is of
the essence of each and every provision of this Agreement may only be modified or waived by the
express written agreement of Purchaser and Seller that time shall not be of the essence with
respect to a particular date or time period, or any modification or extension thereof, which is
provided under this Agreement.

     Section 11.14. Construction of Agreement. This Agreement shall not be
construed more strictly against one party than against another merely by virtue of the fact that it
may have been prepared primarily by counsel for one of the parties, it being recognized that each
of Purchaser and Seller have contributed substantially and materially to the preparation of this
Agreement. Other than contemporaneous instruments executed and delivered of even date, if any,
this Agreement contains all of the agreements between the parties relating in any way to the
premises and supersedes all prior agreements and dealings between them. There are no oral
agreements between the parties relating to this Agreement or the premises. The enumeration of
specific examples of a general provision shall not be construed as a limitation of the general
provision. Unless a party’s approval or consent is required by the express terms of this Agreement
not to be unreasonably withheld, such approval or consent may be withheld in the party’s sole
discretion. Nothing herein shall be construed as creating the relationship between the parties of
principal and agent, or of partners or joint venturers or any relationship other than seller and
buyer. This Agreement and all consents, notices, approvals and all other related documents may be
reproduced by any party by any electronic means or by facsimile, photographic, microfilm,
microfiche or other reproduction process and the originals may be destroyed; and each party agrees
that any reproductions shall be as admissible in evidence in any judicial or administrative
proceeding as the original itself (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not
reproduction was made in the regular course of business), and that any further reproduction of such
reproduction shall likewise be admissible. If any payment in

 

 

the nature of interest provided for in this Agreement shall exceed the maximum interest
permitted under controlling law, as established by final judgment of a court, then such interest
shall instead be at the maximum permitted interest rate as established by such judgment.

     Section 11.15. Limitations on Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, and subject always to any additional limitations on Seller’s liability
set forth elsewhere in this Agreement: (a) Purchaser’s recourse against any party included within
the term Seller under this Agreement or any agreement, document, certificate or instrument
delivered by such party hereunder, or under any law, rule or regulation relating to the Property,
shall be limited to such party’s interest in the Property (or, following the Closing, to the net
proceeds of the sale of the Property actually received by such party); (b) the liability of each
party that constitutes Seller shall not be joint and several but shall only relate to the property
that is being sold by each respective party that constitutes Seller; and (c) in no event shall any
of the Seller Parties have any personal liability hereunder or otherwise. The acceptance of the
Deeds, the Assignment and Assumption of Ground Lease, and all other performance of Seller at the
Closing shall constitute full performance of all of Seller’s obligations hereunder other than the
Surviving Obligations.

     Section 11.16. Severability The parties hereto intend and believe that each
provision in this Agreement comports with all applicable local, state and federal laws and judicial
decisions. If, however, any provision in this Agreement is found by a court of law to be in
violation of any applicable local, state, or federal law, statute, ordinance, administrative or
judicial decision, or public policy, or if in any other respect such a court declares any such
provision to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written, then it is the intent
of all parties hereto that, consistent with and with a view towards preserving the economic and
legal arrangements among the parties hereto as expressed in this Agreement, such provision shall be
given force and effect to the fullest possible extent, and that the remainder of this Agreement
shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful, void, or unenforceable provision were not
contained herein, and that the rights, obligations, and interests of the parties under the
remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

     Section 11.17. No Recording. The provisions hereof shall not constitute a
lien on the Property. Neither Purchaser nor its agents or representatives shall record or file
this Agreement or any notice or memorandum hereof in any registry of deeds or registry district of
the Land Court, including without limitation any lis pendens. If Purchaser breaches the foregoing
provision, this Agreement shall, at Seller’s election, terminate, and Seller shall retain the
Deposit in accordance with Section 10.2 in addition to such other remedies Seller may have
at law or in equity. Purchaser hereby irrevocably appoints Seller as its true and lawful
attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, for the purpose of executing and recording such
documents and performing such other acts as may be necessary to terminate any recording or filing
of this Agreement in violation of this provision.

     Section 11.18. No Implied Agreement. Neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have
any obligations in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement unless each of
Seller and Purchaser, each acting in its sole discretion, elects to execute and deliver this
Agreement to the other parties. No correspondence, course of dealing or submission of drafts or

 

 

final versions of this Agreement between Seller and Purchaser shall be deemed to create any
binding obligations in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby, and no contract or
obligation on the part of Seller or Purchaser shall arise unless and until this Agreement is fully
executed by each of Seller and Purchaser. Once executed and delivered by Seller and Purchaser,
this Agreement shall be binding upon them notwithstanding the failure of Escrow Agent or any broker
or other Person to execute this Agreement.

     Section 11.19. Environmental Release by Purchaser. Without limiting any
provision in this Agreement, Purchaser, for itself and any of its successors and assigns and their
affiliates, hereby irrevocably and absolutely waives its right to recover from, and forever
releases and discharges, and covenants not to file or otherwise pursue any legal action (whether
based on contract, statutory rights, common law or otherwise) against, any Seller Party with
respect to any and all suits, actions, proceedings, investigations, demands, claims, liabilities,
obligations, fines, penalties, liens, judgments, losses, injuries, damages, settlement expenses or
costs of whatever kind or nature, whether direct or indirect, known or unknown, contingent or
otherwise (including any action or proceeding brought or threatened or ordered by any governmental
authority), including, without limitation, attorneys’ and experts’ fees and expenses, and
investigation and remediation costs that may arise on account of or in any way be connected with
any Property or any portion thereof including, without limitation, the physical, environmental and
structural condition of the Property or any law or regulation applicable thereto, or any other
matter relating to the use, presence or discharge of Hazardous Materials on, under, in, above or
about the Property. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Hazardous Materials” means
any substance, chemical, compound, product, solid, gas, liquid, waste, byproduct, pollutant,
contaminant or other material that is hazardous, toxic, ignitable, corrosive, carcinogenic or
otherwise presents a risk of danger to human, plant or animal life or the environment or that is
defined, determined or identified as such in any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation
(whether now existing or hereafter enacted or promulgated) and any judicial or administrative order
or judgment, in each case relating to the protection of human health, safety and/or the
environment, including, but not limited to, any materials, wastes or substances that are included
within the definition of (A) “hazardous waste” in the federal Recourse Conservation and
Recovery Act; (B) “hazardous substances” in the federal Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act; (C) “pollutants” in the federal Clean Water Act;
(D) “toxic substances” in the federal Toxic Substances Control Act; (E) “oil or
hazardous materials” in the laws or regulations of any state or commonwealth, and (F) any
substance, material, waste, pollutant or contaminant listed or defined as hazardous or toxic under
any Environmental Law. The term “Environmental Laws” includes without limitation the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act and the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and
Liability Act and other federal laws governing the environment as in effect on the date of this
Agreement, together with their implementing regulations, guidelines, rules or orders as of the date
of this Agreement, and all state, regional, county, municipal and other local laws, regulations,
ordinances, rules or orders that are equivalent or similar to the federal laws recited above or
that purport to regulate Hazardous Materials. The provisions of this Section 11.19 shall
survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

     Section 11.20. Regulation S-X. Seller shall, and shall request that their
accountants, assist Purchaser, at Purchaser’s request and sole cost and expense (which costs and
expenses Purchaser covenants to pay promptly when due), by providing information relating to the

 

 

Property and its operation that may be reasonably necessary for Purchaser to produce the
financial statements required under Rule 3-14 of regulation S-X of the U.S. securities laws
(including providing a letter in the form attached hereto as Schedule 11.20). In addition
to the above, Seller shall otherwise reasonably cooperate with Purchaser concerning the foregoing.
Subject to Seller’s obligations with respect to its representations and warranties hereunder,
Purchaser agrees to indemnify the Seller Parties and hold them harmless from and against any and
all Claims arising out of the preparation or use by Purchaser of any such information provided by
Seller or Seller’s accountants pursuant to this Section 11.20 (but excluding any Claims
arising out of the mere discovery of information by Purchaser). The provisions of this Section
11.20 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

     Section 11.21. Indemnification Procedures.

     (a) For purposes of this Section 11.21 the term “Asserting Party” shall mean
the party against whom a Claim is asserted and who seeks indemnification under this Agreement, and
the term “Defending Party” shall mean the party from whom indemnification is sought under
this Agreement.

     (b) If a Claim is made against the Asserting Party which the Asserting Party believes to be
covered by the Defending Party’s indemnification obligation under this Agreement, the Asserting
Party shall promptly notify the Defending Party of the Claim and, in such notice, shall offer to
the Defending Party the opportunity to assume the defense of the Claim within ten (10) Business
Days after receipt of the notice (with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Asserting Party). If
the Defending Party timely elects to assume the defense of the Claim, the Defending Party shall do
so on behalf of both the Asserting Party and the Defending Party, unless both the Asserting Party
and the Defending Party are named in the same litigation and representation of both of them by the
same counsel would be inappropriate.

     (c) If the Defending Party timely elects to assume the defense of the Claim, the Defending
Party shall have the right to settle the Claim on any terms it considers reasonable as long as the
settlement shall not require the Asserting Party to render any performance or pay any consideration
without its consent and provides for an unconditional release from all liability with respect to
such Claim of the Asserting Party.

     (d) If the Defending Party fails timely to elect to assume the defense of the Claim, or if the
Defending Party timely elects to assume the defense of the Claim but thereafter fails to defend the
Claim with diligence and continuity, the Asserting Party shall have the right, after giving prior
written notice to the Defending Party, to take over the defense of the Claim and to settle the
Claim on any terms it considers reasonable. Any such settlement shall be valid as against the
Defending Party.

     (e) If the Defending Party assumes the defense of a Claim, the Asserting Party may employ its
own counsel but such employment shall be at the sole expense of the Asserting Party. If the
Defending Party assumes the defense of a Claim but the same counsel may not represent both the
Asserting Party and the Defending Party, or if the Defending Party fails timely to assume the
defense of the Claim or, after having elected to assume the defense fails to defend the

 

 

Claim with diligence and continuity, the Asserting Party may employ its own counsel and such
employment shall be at the sole expense of the Defending Party.

     (f) Whether or not the Defending Party elects to assume the defense of a Claim, the Defending
Party shall cooperate with the Asserting Party in the defense of the Claim. If the Defending Party
elects to assume the defense of a Claim, the Asserting Party will cooperate with the Defending
Party in such defense.

     (g) If the Asserting Party is obligated to pay amounts for which it is entitled to be
indemnified hereunder, then Defending Party shall be obligated, unless such amounts shall be
reimbursed to the Asserting Party within ten (10) days of demand therefor, to pay interest on such
amounts thereafter until paid at a per annum rate equal to 2% above the rate announced as its
“prime rate” by Citibank, N.A. (or any successor bank thereto).

     (h) If the Asserting Party is obligated to perform repairs or other work in connection with
any Claims for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder then, except in the case of any
emergency situation which involves immediate threat of damage or injury to persons or property (as
to which no such notice shall be required to be given until the earliest practicable opportunity),
the Asserting Party shall give a written notice to Defending Party setting forth the general nature
of such repairs or other work and, if the Defending Party fails to commence or, in the case of the
foregoing emergency situation assume the continuation of such repairs or other work within ten (10)
days after such written notice or, having commenced such repairs or other work, fails to diligently
prosecute such repairs or other work to completion, then such Asserting Party shall be entitled to
(and shall at all times) perform such repair or other work in a manner which a reasonable and
prudent owner of properties similar to the Property located where such Property is located would
cause such work to be performed.

     (i) The provisions of this Section 11.21 shall survive the Closing or termination of
this Agreement for so long as and be applicable to any indemnity herein that survives the Closing
or termination of this Agreement.

     Section 11.22. Existing Loans.

     Purchaser may elect to assume Seller’s existing mortgage financing with respect to the Kendall
Square South Garage, the Rogers Street Real Property and the Houston Real Property. Seller will
reasonably cooperate with Purchaser (at no cost to Seller) regarding such efforts. If Purchaser so
assumes such financing, then (a) Purchaser shall receive a credit for the principal amount of such
loan, interest accrued thereon and unpaid through the Closing Date and any other amounts due and
payable, but unpaid, on the Closing Date allocable to such loan and (b) Seller shall receive a
credit (and Purchaser shall be debited) for all amounts in reserve and/or impound accounts held by
the lender under such financing as of the Closing Date, to the extent that all of Seller’s rights
in such amounts are transferred to the Purchaser in connection with such assumption. In connection
with any such assumption, prior to Closing Seller shall be presented with evidence reasonably
acceptable to Seller that the obligations and liabilities of Seller and any guarantor of such loan
shall be discharged and released effective as of the Closing.

 

 

     Section 11.23. New Lender. Seller (at no cost or liability to Seller or any
Seller Parties) shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in Purchaser’s efforts to engage a New
Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The foregoing shall in no regard
constitute a financing contingency.

     Section 11.24. Further Assurances. In case at any time after the Closing
Date any reasonable further action is necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement,
including, without limitation, the transfer of the Property to Purchaser and obtaining all
customary post-closing consents, Seller and Purchaser will take or cause to be taken such further
action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) as the
other party reasonably may request, all without further consideration.

company and Lyme/Houston Development I, LP, a Delaware limited partnership and Kendall Square LLC,
a Delaware limited liability company (collectively, the “Seller”) and BioMed Realty, L.P.,

     The parties desire to make certain amendments to a certain Real Estate Purchase and Sale

     Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given such

     In consideration of the mutual promises hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agree
as follows:

     1. Section 1.1. Section 1.1 of the P&S is hereby amended by:

          (a) Deleting the definition of “Environmental Insurance Policies” in its entirety and
replacing it with the following:

          ““Environmental Insurance Policies” shall mean (i) the environmental insurance
policies listed on the attached Schedule 7.2(a) and (ii) Zurich Steadfast Insurance Co.
Environmental Response, Compensation & Liability Insurance Policy No. PLC3677154-00.”

          (b) Inserting the following definition immediately after the definition of “Microbia
Documents”:

          ““Microbia Letter of Credit” shall mean that certain irrevocable standby letter of
credit, No. SVB02IS4087, dated January 10, 2002, issued by Silicon Valley National Bank in favor of
Rogers Street LLC, as beneficiary, as amended and extended.”

 

 

          (c) Deleting the definition of “Parcel E East Development Rights” in its entirety and
replacing it with the following:

          ““Parcel E East Development Rights” shall mean the right to develop approximately
87,000 square feet (as defined in applicable Cambridge zoning ordinances) of space in accordance
with the Notice of Right of First Offer on so-called Parcel E East (as such term is defined in the
Special Permit).”

          (d) Deleting the definition of Principal Guaranty in its entirety and replacing it with the
following:

          ““Principal Guaranties” shall mean (i) that Guaranty of Payment, dated November 5,
2003, given by Principal Life Insurance Company to Kendall Square LLC and related to a certain Site
Work Payment and (ii) that Guaranty of Completion, dated November 5, 2003, given by Principal Life
Insurance Company to Kendall Square LLC and related to Parcel E-1H.”

          The P&S is hereby further amended by replacing the term “Principal Guaranty” wherever it occurs in
the P&S with the term “Principal Guaranties”.

          (e) Deleting the definition of “Title Company” in its entirety and replacing it with the
following:

          ““Title Company” shall mean the Boston, Massachusetts office of Stewart Title Guaranty
Company, having an address of 99 Summer Street, 2nd Floor, Boston, Massachusetts 02110, Attention:

and the Title Policy that will be provided, for the Houston Real Property, “Title Company” shall
mean Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company.”

     2. Section 2.2(a). Section 2.2(a) of the P&S is hereby deleted in its entirety and
replaced with the following:

          The purchase price for the Property shall be the sum of Four Hundred Eighty Nine Million
Dollars ($489,000,000), plus or minus the Reconciliation Amount described below (the “Purchase
Price”). Subject to the adjustments and apportionments set forth in this Agreement, the
Purchase Price shall be paid on the Closing Date by wire transfer of immediately available federal

Parcel E East Development Rights and the sum of Six Million Dollars

2

 

($6,000,000) has been allocated to Parcel E-1H. The foregoing allocation is not intended and
shall not be construed to allow Seller to sell or Purchaser to buy less than all of the Property.

          3. Section 6.1. Section 6.1 of the P&S is hereby amended by:

          (a) Deleting the first two sentences of Section 6.1(c) in their entirety and replacing them
with the following:

          “Purchaser shall have received estoppel certificates (each, a “Tenant Estoppel

Research Institute, as tenant at 320 Bent Street, Microbia, Inc., as tenant at 320 Bent Street, and
Microbia, Inc., as tenant at 301 Binney Street, or shall have been provided with a Seller’s
Estoppel Certificate as permitted by the following sentence, in each case dated no earlier than the
Effective Date (the “Estoppel Requirement”). If Rogers Street, LLC is unable to obtain an
estoppel certificate from Microbia, Inc., as tenant at 320 Bent Street or 301 Binney Street, in
order to meet the Estoppel Requirement, Rogers Street, LLC shall provide to the Purchaser a
Seller’s Estoppel Certificate with respect to either such Lease.”

          (b) Adding the following provisions to Section 6.1 as clauses (s), (t) and (u) thereof,

current articles of incorporation and bylaws of the corporation, and (v) a certificate of good
standing issued by the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts with respect to the
corporation.

          (t) Seller shall have caused the words “Rogers Street LLC” in paragraphs 2(A) and 2(B) of the
Microbia Letter of Credit to be replaced by the word “Beneficiary”.

          (u) If (i) any condition to closing favoring either Purchaser or Seller is not satisfied on
the Closing Date (as the same may be adjourned or extended under any express right herein), (ii)
such party does not waive such condition and (iii) the failure of such condition does not result
from the breach of this Agreement by such party, then such party may terminate this Agreement by
delivery of written notice to the other party. Upon any such termination, without further action
of the parties, this Agreement shall become null and void and no party shall have any further
rights or obligations under this Agreement, except the return of the Deposit to the Purchaser and
the Surviving Obligations.”
