All of Seller’s right, title and interest, if any, in and to the following: (i) the MOB Lot (as approved in accordance with the Final Project Approvals), together with (ii) the Seller Land Improvements located thereon, if any (the “Improvements”), (iii) all and singular the rights, benefits, privileges, easements, tenements, hereditaments, and appurtenances thereon or in anywise appertaining to thereto, and (iv) all strips and gores and any land lying in the bed of any street, road or alley, open or proposed, adjoining the MOB Lot, if any (collectively, the “Real Property”).

2.2 Conceptual Plan. A conceptual plan showing the overall boundaries of the combined Seller Land and Municipal Parcels, the proposed Residential Lot, the proposed MOB Lot and the proposed Recreation Lot is annexed hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit I (the “Conceptual Plan”). As more particularly described in Article 12, during the [****] period following the Inspection Period, the parties will, among other things, reasonably cooperate to mutually agree on the boundaries of the Residential Lot, the MOB Lot and the Recreation Lot, which shall be substantially consistent with the Conceptual Plan. [****]. If the parties are unable to agree on the boundaries of the Residential Lot, the MOB Lot and the Recreation Lot as above provided by the end of the [****] period following the Inspection Period, this Agreement shall automatically terminate as more particularly set forth in Article 12. The parties agree to cooperate reasonably following Purchaser’s submission of Purchaser’s Approvals (defined in Section 12.1.2) to make such non-material modifications to the boundaries of the Residential Lot, the MOB Lot and the Recreation Lot as may be reasonably recommended by the engineering firm employed by Purchaser to process Purchaser’s Approvals (“Purchaser’s Engineer”), as confirmed to Seller by Cameron (defined in Section 12.7) if Cameron is not Purchaser’s Engineer, [****]. [****].
2.3 Conveyance Description. The parties agree that the Deed (defined in Section 7.3.1) to be delivered at the Closing (defined in Section 7.1) conveying the Real Property to Purchaser will describe the Real Property either: (i) if the subdivision of the Seller Land is accomplished by filing a subdivision plat, by reference to the MOB Lot on the filed subdivision plat; or (ii) if the subdivision of the Seller Land is accomplished administratively, by metes and bounds pursuant to a description prepared by Purchaser’s surveyor, at Purchaser’s expense, in accordance with the Survey and certified by said surveyor to Seller in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller.
ARTICLE 3 - Earnest Money
3.1 Deposit and Investment of Earnest Money. [****]. Each of the Initial Earnest Money and the Additional Earnest Money is collectively referred to as the “Earnest Money”. Escrow Agent shall invest the Earnest Money in government insured interest-bearing accounts satisfactory to Seller and Purchaser, shall not commingle the Earnest Money with any funds of Escrow Agent or others, and shall promptly provide Purchaser and Seller with confirmation of the investments made. Such account shall have no penalty for early withdrawal. The interest thereon shall accrue to the benefit of the party receiving the Earnest Money pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and Purchaser agrees to provide its Federal Tax Identification Number to Escrow Agent upon the opening of escrow.
3.2 Form; Failure to Deposit. The Earnest Money shall be in the form of a wire transfer to Escrow Agent of immediately available U.S. federal funds. If Purchaser fails to timely deposit any portion of the Initial Earnest Money within the time period required, Seller may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Purchaser, and thereafter the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except for rights and obligations which, by their terms, survive the termination hereof.
3.3 Disposition of Earnest Money. [****].
3.3.1 By executing the joinder annexed to this Agreement, Escrow Agent accepts its designation as Escrow Agent under this Agreement and agrees to hold and disburse the Earnest Money as provided in this Agreement. The provisions hereof will constitute joint instructions to Escrow Agent to consummate the purchase in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof; provided, however, that the parties shall execute such additional escrow instructions, not inconsistent with the provisions hereof, as may be deemed reasonably necessary to carry out the intentions of the parties as expressed herein.
3.3.2 Upon delivery of the Earnest Money to either Seller, Purchaser or a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall be relieved of all liability hereunder. Escrow Agent shall deliver the Earnest Money at the election of the party entitled to receive the same by a bank wire transfer to an account designated by such party.
3.3.3 Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that Escrow Agent is serving solely as an accommodation to the parties hereto, and except for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Escrow Agent, Escrow Agent shall have no liability of any kind whatsoever arising out of or in connection with its activity as Escrow Agent. Seller and Purchaser jointly and severally agree to and do hereby indemnify and hold harmless Escrow Agent from all suits, actions, loss, costs, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) which may be incurred by reason of its acting as Escrow Agent, in each case, except in the case of Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, and such indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
3.3.4 In its capacity as Escrow Agent, Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for the genuineness or validity of any instrument, document or item deposited with it, and shall have no responsibility other than to faithfully follow the instructions contained herein. The parties hereto agree that Escrow Agent is fully protected in acting in accordance with any written instrument given to it hereunder by any of the parties hereto believed by Escrow Agent to have been signed by the proper person. Escrow Agent may assume that any person purporting to give any notice hereunder has been duly authorized to do so. Escrow Agent shall have no obligation to review or confirm that actions taken pursuant to such notice in accordance with this Agreement comply with any other agreement or document. Escrow Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those set forth herein. Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any modification of this Agreement unless the same is in writing and signed by Purchaser and Seller, and, if Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder are affected, Escrow Agent.
3.3.5 Escrow Agent hereunder may resign at any time on giving five (5) business days prior notice to that effect to each of Seller and Purchaser. In such event, a successor Escrow Agent shall be selected by Seller and Purchaser. Escrow Agent shall then deliver to the successor Escrow Agent the Earnest Money to be held by the successor Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. If no successor Escrow Agent is designated and qualified within five (5) business days after Escrow Agent’s resignation is effective, Escrow Agent may apply to a qualified court for the appointment of a successor Escrow Agent. The expenses thereof shall be equally borne by Seller and Purchaser.
3.3.6 Escrow Agent shall have no duty to enforce any obligation of any person to make any payment or delivery or to enforce any obligation of any person to perform any other act. Escrow Agent shall have no liability to the other parties hereto or to anyone else by reason of any failure on the part of any party hereto or any maker, guarantor, endorser or other signatory of any document or any other person to perform such person’s obligations under such document.
3.3.7 Escrow Agent shall have fulfilled its duties with regard to safeguarding of the Earnest Money upon depositing the funds into an FDIC-insured (to the maximum extent available) interest-bearing escrow account of Escrow Agent at First American Trust (the “Bank”). In no event shall Escrow Agent be responsible for the failure of the banking institution or the failure of the insurance, including, but not limited to, the failure of the FDIC protecting the Earnest Money. The parties further acknowledge that should a party have an account with the Bank, it may impact the FDIC coverage protecting the Earnest Money.

4.5 [Intentionally deleted.]
4.6 Proprietary Information; Confidentiality.

Purchaser shall not use the Property Documents for any purpose other than as set forth in the preceding sentence. Purchaser shall not disclose the contents to any person other than to those persons who are responsible for determining the feasibility of Purchaser’s acquisition of the Property; provided, however, it is understood and agreed that Purchaser may disclose such data and information to its employees, consultants, lenders, potential lenders, accountants, investors, potential investors, members, agents and attorneys of Purchaser who have a need to know so that they can assist Purchaser with its due diligence and acquisition of the Property provided that such persons have agreed to preserve the confidentiality of such information as required hereby (collectively, “Permitted Outside Parties”). At any time and from time to time, within two (2) business days after Seller’s request, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a list of all parties to whom Purchaser has provided any Property Documents or any information taken from the Property Documents.

4.7 No Representation or Warranty by Seller. Purchaser acknowledges that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Seller has not made and does not make any warranty or representation regarding the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Property Documents or the source(s) thereof. Purchaser further acknowledges that some if not all of the Property Documents were prepared by third parties other than Seller. Seller expressly disclaims any and all liability for representations or warranties, express or implied, statements of fact and other matters contained in such information, or for omissions from the Property Documents, or in any other written or oral communications transmitted or made available to Purchaser. Except for Seller’s representations as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser shall rely solely upon its own investigation with respect to the Property and the Rec Lot Portion, including, without limitation, the Property’s and the Rec Lot Portion’s physical, environmental or economic condition, compliance or lack of compliance with any ordinance, order, permit or regulation or any other attribute or matter relating thereto. Seller has not undertaken any independent investigation as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Property Documents and is providing the Property Documents solely as an accommodation to Purchaser. The provisions of this Section 4.7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall survive the Closing.
4.8 Purchaser’s Responsibilities. In conducting any inspections, investigations or tests of the Property, the Rec Lot Portion and/or Property Documents, Purchaser and its agents and representatives shall: (i) not disturb the tenants or materially interfere with their use of the Property or the Rec Lot Portion; (ii) not materially interfere with the operation and maintenance of the Property or the Rec Lot Portion; (iii) not damage any part of the Property or the Rec Lot Portion or any personal property owned or held by any tenant or any third party; (iv) not injure or otherwise cause bodily harm to Seller, its agents, guests, invitees, contractors and employees or any tenants or their guests or invitees; (v) comply with all applicable laws; (vi) promptly pay when due the cost of all tests, investigations, and examinations done with regard to the Property and the Rec Lot Portion; (vii) not permit any liens to attach to the Real Property or the Rec Lot Portion by reason of the exercise of its rights hereunder; (viii) immediately repair any damage to the Real Property and the Rec Lot Portion resulting directly or indirectly from any such inspection or tests; and (ix) not reveal or disclose prior to Closing any information obtained during the Inspection Period concerning the Property, the Rec Lot Portion and the Property Documents to anyone other than the Permitted Outside Parties, in accordance with the confidentiality standards set forth in Section 4.6 above, or except as may be otherwise required by law. The provisions of this Section 4.8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall survive the Closing.
4.9 Purchaser’s Agreement to Indemnify. Purchaser indemnifies and holds Seller harmless from and against any and all losses, obligations, liens, claims, causes of action, damages, judgments, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) arising out of Purchaser’s inspections or tests permitted under this Agreement or any violation of the provisions of Sections 4.2 and 4.8 or the action or inaction of Purchaser or its contractors, agents, employees or representatives while on the Property or the Rec Lot Portion or any other portion of the Seller Land; provided, however, the indemnity shall not extend to protect Seller from (i) the negligence or willful misconduct of Seller or its officers, directors, agents, contractors or employees; and/or (ii) any pre-existing liabilities for matters merely discovered by Purchaser (e.g., latent environmental contamination) so long as Purchaser makes reasonable effort not to aggravate any such pre-existing liability of Seller once discovered by Purchaser. Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 4.9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall survive the Closing.
4.10 Environmental Studies. As additional consideration for the transaction contemplated in this Agreement, Purchaser must provide to Seller, at no cost to Seller, immediately following the receipt of a final, approved version (or in the event that the report is not finalized or approved prior to the termination of this Agreement by Purchaser, the most recent version) of same by Purchaser, copies of any and all reports, tests or studies involving contamination of or other environmental concerns relating to the Property or the Rec Lot Portion; provided, however, Purchaser shall have no obligation to cause any such tests or studies to be performed on the Property or the Rec Lot Portion. Seller acknowledges that Purchaser has not made and does not make any warranty or representation regarding the truth or accuracy of any such studies or reports. Notwithstanding Section 4.9 above, Purchaser shall have no liability or culpability of any nature as a result of having provided such information to Seller or as a result of Seller’s reliance thereon or arising out of the fact that Purchaser merely conducted such tests or studies, so long as Purchaser makes reasonable effort not to aggravate any pre-existing liability of Seller once discovered by Purchaser.
ARTICLE 5 - Title and Survey
5.1 Title Commitment. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser its existing title policy or commitment in accordance with Section 4.1 hereof. Purchaser shall have the right during the Inspection Period to order from the Title Company: (i) a current commitment for title insurance or preliminary title report for the Real Property and the Rec Lot Portion (the “Title Commitment”), and (ii) copies of all documents of record referred to in the Title Commitment as exceptions to title to the Property and/or the Rec Lot Portion, and Purchaser shall deliver such Title Commitment to Seller within five (5) business days following the date on which Purchaser receives the Title Commitment.
5.2 New or Updated Survey. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser its existing survey in accordance with Section 4.1 hereof (the “Existing Survey”). If Purchaser desires to have the Existing Survey updated or re-certified, Purchaser will coordinate such revisions and/or recertification with the surveyor directly or Purchaser may have a new survey of the Property and the Rec Lot Portion (or portion thereof) completed, in any case with the costs of said revised or re-certified survey or new survey (such revised and/or recertified Existing Survey new survey, the “Survey”) to be allocated as set forth in Section 1.2 hereof. Purchaser agrees to cause the Survey to be certified to, among others, Seller.
5.3 Title Review. [****]. The failure of Purchaser to provide such Purchaser’s Initial Title Objection Notice to Seller prior to the expiration of the Initial Title Objections Period shall constitute a waiver of all of Purchaser’s rights under this Section 5.3, except with respect to Subsequent Title Objections (defined below). Within five (5) days after receipt of any updates or revisions to the Title Commitment or Survey, as the case may be, but in no event later than the Closing Date, Purchaser shall furnish copies thereof to Seller’s counsel, together with Purchaser’s notice (“Purchaser’s Subsequent Title Objection Notice”; and, together with Purchaser’s Initial Title Objection Notice, a “Title Objection Notice”) setting forth any further Title Objections based on the updated Title Commitment or Survey, excepting, however, matters that are Permitted Exceptions (“Subsequent Title Objections”). Seller shall have [****], to advise Purchaser in writing whether or not Seller will remedy any Title Objection set forth in a Title Objection Notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller shall be required to remove all Mandatory Cure Items at or prior to Closing. If Seller fails to respond within the Seller Response Period, Seller shall be deemed to have timely notified Purchaser as of the last day of the Seller Response Period that Seller will not remedy the Title Objection at issue. In the event Seller notifies (or is deemed to have notified) Purchaser it does not intend to remedy any Title Objection, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of Purchaser’s election to so terminate (in which case the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser, and Seller and Purchaser shall have no further obligations under this Agreement except for obligations that expressly survive such termination) not later than the earlier of: (x) five (5) business days following Seller’s notice (or deemed notice) that it will not remedy the Title Objection at issue; and (y) the Closing Date, time being of the essence, failing which the Title Objection at issue shall be and be deemed to be a Permitted Exception. If Seller is unable by the Closing Date to arrange for the Title Company to agree to omit from Purchaser’s Title Commitment any Title Objection that Seller agreed in writing to remedy, then Seller may adjourn the Closing from time to time for a reasonable period of time (the “adjournment period”) not in excess of [****] in the aggregate in order to attempt to arrange for omission of any Title Objection. If the Title Company shall not agree during the adjournment period to omit any Title Objection that Seller agreed in writing to remedy and shall not agree to provide affirmative insurance without additional premium, Seller will be in default of this Agreement. The term “Permitted Exceptions” shall mean: the matters set forth on Exhibit J annexed hereto and made a part hereof; matters set forth in the Title Commitment as of the effective date thereof; matters created by, through or under Purchaser; items shown on the Survey which have not been removed as of the end of the Inspection Period; the Declaration (defined in Section 12.10); any documents required to be recorded as a condition of Final Project Approvals and any subdivision plat required to be recorded to create the Residential Lot, the MOB Lot and the Recreation Lot; and real estate taxes not yet due and payable (or for which Purchaser is otherwise responsible in accordance with Section 8.1). For avoidance of doubt, it is acknowledged and agreed that nothing in this Section 5.3 shall affect Purchaser’s rights under Section 4.3.
5.4 Mandatory Cure Items. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall take, without notice by Purchaser to Seller objecting to the same, such actions as may be required so that the Title Company is willing to issue a standard form title policy to Purchaser without exception for (collectively, “Mandatory Cure Items”): (i) exceptions relating to Seller’s authority to enter into and consummate the transaction; (ii) standard printed exceptions relating to parties in possession; (iii) any unpaid real estate taxes and assessments for any fiscal year or period prior to the fiscal year or period in which occurs the Closing; (iv) mechanic’s and materialmen’s liens first arising after the Effective Date for work performed (or alleged to have been performed) by or on behalf of Seller; (v) any exception related to any existing mortgage encumbering the Property or the Rec Lot Portion created by Seller including related financing instruments; (vi) any encumbrances created, consented to or affirmatively permitted by Seller after the Effective Date that are not Permitted Exceptions; and (vii) any other monetary lien or judgment entered against Seller (and not caused by Purchaser) that can be discharged of record by the payment of a liquidated sum of money not to exceed [****]. Should Seller so elect, Mandatory Cure Items shall be deemed “removed from title” upon the deposit by Seller (which may be from proceeds of the Purchase Price) with the Title Company at Closing of funds sufficient to pay the underlying obligation relating to such Mandatory Cure Items, provided that the Title Company is willing to omit the title encumbrance relating thereto without any additional cost or premium to Purchaser. Seller shall have the right, at Closing, to use the balance of the Purchase Price to be paid at Closing to cure any Mandatory Cure Item to be cured pursuant to this Section 5.4.
ARTICLE 6 - Operations and Risk of Loss
6.1 Ongoing Operations. From the Effective Date through Closing:
6.1.1 [Intentionally deleted.]
6.1.2 Contracts. Seller will not enter into any contract that will be an obligation affecting the Property or the Rec Lot Portion subsequent to the Closing.
6.1.3 Maintenance of Improvements. Purchaser agrees that Seller shall have no obligation to maintain the Property in any particular condition or state of repair, except that Seller agrees to maintain the Property in such condition and state of repair as is consistent with Seller’s past practices, but without any obligation to make capital repairs, replacements or improvements, shall have no obligation to cure and/or remedy any open permits or violations that may exist as of the Effective Date or arise thereafter or to make any improvements to the Property, and that the Property shall be conveyed to and accepted by Purchaser in such condition and state of repair as may exist on the Effective Date, subject to such reasonable wear, tear and deterioration as may occur between the Effective Date and the Closing Date. Seller agrees to keep in place until the Closing its existing policies of insurance with respect to the Property and the Rec Lot Portion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.1.3, Seller agrees to cure and/or remedy on or prior to the Closing any violations arising in respect of the Property and/or the Rec Lot Portion after the Effective Date so long as the aggregate cost to cure all such violations does not exceed [****] (the “Violations Cap”). In the event the aggregate cost to cure all such violations exceeds the Violations Cap and Seller does not agree to cure and/or remedy the same within ten (10) days following Purchaser’s written request, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving Seller written notice of such election not later than five (5) days after the end of said ten (10) day period, whereupon Escrow Agent shall deliver the Earnest Money and accrued interest thereon, if any, to Purchaser (less any portion thereof that has become non-refundable in accordance with Section 12.8) and this Agreement shall terminate and cease to be of further force and effect and neither party shall have any further obligation or liability hereunder to the other, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement to the contrary. If Purchaser fails to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 6.1.3, Purchaser will be deemed to have waived its right to terminate under this Section 6.1.3 and shall accept the Property subject to all violations, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without modification whatsoever, except that, at Closing, Seller shall credit against the balance of the Purchase Price then due the sum of [****], less any sums theretofore incurred or paid by Seller to cure and/or remedy violations in accordance with this Section 6.1.3. If there occurs any violation that Seller is otherwise required to cure and/or remedy under this Section 6.1.3 the existence of which causes any Governmental Authority (defined below) to decline to process Purchaser’s applications for Purchaser’s Approvals (defined below) (an “Impeding Violation”), Seller agrees to spend, in advance of the Closing, such sums not in excess of the Violations Cap to promptly cure the Impeding Violation.
6.1.4 [****].
6.1.5 Notices. Seller shall promptly furnish to Purchaser copies of any material notices that it receives from any governmental agency with respect to the Property and/or the Rec Lot Portion.

6.2 Damage. The provisions of the Uniform Vendor and Purchaser Risk Act (§5-1311 of the General Obligations Law) shall not apply to this Agreement. If, prior to the Closing, the Property, or any part thereof, is damaged as the result of fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), then Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser thereof, but Purchaser shall nevertheless purchase the Property in its “as is” condition and close the transaction as provided herein without any deduction from the Purchase Price. The parties agree that in the event of any casualty, Seller shall retain the right to receive any and all insurance proceeds that may be payable as a result of such casualty and the same shall not be assigned to Purchaser at Closing, nor shall Purchaser receive any credit therefor.
6.3 Condemnation. The provisions of the Uniform Vendor and Purchaser Risk Act (§5-1311 of the General Obligations Law) shall not apply to this Agreement. If, prior to the Closing, the Property, the Rec Lot Portion or any part thereof (other than an immaterial portion of the Property or the Rec Lot Portion determined as hereinafter provided), is taken by condemnation or similar proceeding or action (or is the subject of a pending or contemplated condemnation or similar proceeding or action which has not been consummated) (a “Taking”), then Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser thereof, and Purchaser shall have the right, in its sole determination, to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller given not later than thirty (30) days after the date Seller notifies Purchaser of the Taking. If Seller shall fail to give such notice, Purchaser shall nevertheless have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller given not later than thirty (30) days after Purchaser shall have learned of such Taking. If, prior to the Closing Date, a Taking occurs in respect of an immaterial portion of the Property or the Rec Lot Portion or, if a Taking occurs in respect of a material portion of the Property but Purchaser does not exercise Purchaser’s right to cancel as aforesaid, then, in either case, Purchaser shall purchase the Property in its “as is” condition and close the transaction as provided herein without any deduction from the Purchase Price, and Seller shall assign to Purchaser at Closing Seller’s interest, if any, in any condemnation award in respect of such Taking. So long as this Agreement has not been terminated and Purchaser is not in default of this Agreement beyond any cure period set forth in Section 10.2, Seller shall not settle or compromise any claim for such award without the prior written consent of Purchaser, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. So long as this Agreement has not been terminated and Purchaser is not in default of this Agreement beyond any cure period set forth in Section 10.2, Purchaser shall have the right to participate in any condemnation proceeding. For purposes of this Section 6.3 an “immaterial” portion of the Property or the Rec Lot Portion shall mean any portion of the Property or the Rec Lot Portion the taking of which does not materially and adversely affect Purchaser’s ability to develop the Property for the Project (defined in Section 12.1.1). In the event Purchaser shall elect to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 6.3, this Agreement shall terminate, the Earnest Money and accrued interest thereon, if any, promptly shall be returned to Purchaser, and neither party shall have any further obligations to the other hereunder except any obligations expressly provided in this Agreement to survive termination. Purchaser acknowledges that the Bus Stop Taking (defined in Section 9.1.4) and/or any similar takings are takings in respect of an immaterial portion of the Property.
6.4 Tax Grievances. Seller shall not withdraw, settle or otherwise compromise any protest or reduction proceeding (each, herein referred as a “Tax Proceeding”) affecting real estate taxes assessed against the Property and/or the Rec Lot Portion for any fiscal period in which the Closing is to occur or any subsequent fiscal period without the prior written consent of Purchaser in Purchaser’s reasonable discretion. Real estate tax refunds and credits received after the Closing Date, which are attributable to the fiscal tax year during which the Closing Date occurs shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser, after deducting the expenses of collection thereof, which obligation shall survive the Closing. Real estate tax refunds and credits which are attributable to fiscal tax years prior to the fiscal tax year during which the Closing Date occurs shall be received and retained solely by Seller. Upon the Closing, Seller shall remain solely responsible for the continued prosecution of any protest or reduction proceeding filed for the fiscal year(s) in which the Closing occurs. The obligations in this Section 6.4 shall survive the Closing.

9.2.5 [****].
The foregoing representations shall be automatically remade by any assignee of this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.1.
9.3 Survival of Representations and Warranties; Limitation of Liability. The representations and warranties set forth in this Article 9 are made as of the date of this Agreement and, except where expressly made as of the Effective Date, are remade as of the Closing Date and shall not be deemed to be merged into or waived by the instruments of Closing, but shall survive the Closing for a period of six (6) months (the “Survival Period”). If any representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement is not true and correct in all material respects as a result of a matter, event or circumstance beyond Seller’s reasonable control, Purchaser may not consider same as an event of default or breach hereunder; but rather, in such case, and following written notice from Seller of such materially untrue or incorrect representation or warranty, which notice Seller shall give to Purchaser not later than five (5) days after Seller learns of the same, Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s option and as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy, not later than five (5) days after Seller’s notice as above provided, proceed as set forth in the last grammatical paragraph of Section 7.2. Terms such as “to Seller’s knowledge,” “to the best of Seller’s knowledge” or like phrases mean the actual present and conscious awareness or knowledge of Peter Pitsiokos (“Seller’s Employee”), without any duty of inquiry or investigation; provided that so qualifying Seller’s knowledge shall in no event give rise to any personal liability on the part of Seller’s Employee or any other officer or employee of Seller, on account of any breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller herein. Said terms do not include constructive knowledge, imputed knowledge, or knowledge Seller or such persons do not have but could have obtained through further investigation or inquiry. No broker, agent, or party other than Seller is authorized to make any representation or warranty for or on behalf of Seller. Each party shall have the right to bring an action against the other on the breach of a representation or warranty hereunder, but only on the following conditions: (i) the party bringing the action for breach first learns of the breach after Closing and files such action within the Survival Period, and (ii) neither party shall have the right to bring a cause of action for a breach of a representation or warranty unless the damage to such party on account of such breach (individually or when combined with damages from other breaches) equals or exceeds [****]. Neither party shall have any liability after Closing for the breach of a representation or warranty hereunder of which the other party hereto had knowledge as of Closing or that was contained in the Property Documents. Furthermore, Purchaser agrees that the aggregate maximum liability of Seller for the alleged breach of any or all representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement is limited to Purchaser’s actual damages incurred as a direct result of Seller’s breach of any or all representations or warranties under this Agreement, up to, but not to exceed, [****]. In no event shall Seller or Purchaser be liable to the other for incidental, consequential, or punitive damages as a result of the breach of any or all representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 9.3 shall survive the Closing. Any breach of a representation or warranty that occurs prior to Closing shall be governed by Article 10.
ARTICLE 10 - Default and Remedies
10.1 Seller’s Remedies. If (i) Purchaser fails to perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement at or prior to Closing for any reason except failure by Seller to perform hereunder, or (ii) if prior to Closing any one or more of Purchaser’s representations or warranties are breached in any material respect, and in either case are not cured [****] from receipt of notice (which written notice shall describe all defaults and breaches with reasonable specificity) from Seller of such breach, provided the Closing Date shall in no way be delayed as a result of any cure period, then Seller shall be entitled, as its sole remedy (except as provided in Sections 4.9, 10.3, 10.4 and 12.4 hereof), to terminate this Agreement and recover the Earnest Money as liquidated damages and not as penalty, in full satisfaction of claims against Purchaser hereunder. Seller and Purchaser agree that Seller’s damages resulting from Purchaser’s default are difficult, if not impossible, to determine and the Earnest Money is a fair estimate of those damages which has been agreed to in an effort to cause the amount of such damages to be certain. If Closing is consummated, Seller shall have all remedies available at law or in equity in the event Purchaser fails to perform any obligation of Purchaser under this Agreement that survives the Closing. Purchaser agrees to give Seller written notice of any breach of a Purchaser representation not later than five (5) days following Purchaser becoming aware of the breach.
10.2 Purchaser’s Remedies. [****].
10.3 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event either party hereto employs an attorney in connection with claims by one party against the other arising from the operation of this Agreement, the non-prevailing party shall pay the prevailing party all reasonable fees and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with such transaction.
10.4 Other Expenses. If this Agreement is terminated due to the default of a party, then the defaulting party shall pay any fees or charges due to Escrow Agent for holding the Earnest Money as well as any escrow cancellation fees or charges and any fees or charges due to the Title Company for preparation and/or cancellation of the Title Commitment.
ARTICLE 11 – Disclaimers and Release
11.1 Disclaimers By Seller. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and in any document executed by Seller and delivered to Purchaser at Closing, it is understood and agreed that Seller has not at any time made and is not now making, and it specifically disclaims, any warranties or representations of any kind or character, express or implied, with respect to the Property or the portion of the Seller Land that will comprise a portion of the Recreation Lot (the “Rec Lot Portion”), including, but not limited to, warranties or representations as to (i) matters of title, (ii) environmental matters relating to the Property, the Rec Lot Portion or any portion thereof, including, without limitation, the presence of Hazardous Materials in, on, under or in the vicinity of the Property or the Rec Lot Portion, (iii) geological conditions, including, without limitation, subsidence, subsurface conditions, water table, underground water reservoirs, limitations regarding the withdrawal of water, and geologic faults and the resulting damage of past and/or future faulting, (iv) whether, and to the extent to which the Property, the Rec Lot Portion or any portion thereof is affected by any stream (surface or underground), body of water, wetlands, flood prone area, flood plain, floodway or special flood hazard, (v) drainage, (vi) soil conditions, including the existence of instability, past soil repairs, soil additions or conditions of soil fill, or susceptibility to landslides, or the sufficiency of any undershoring, (vii) the presence of endangered species or any environmentally sensitive or protected areas, (viii) zoning or building entitlements to which the Property, the Rec Lot Portion or any portion thereof may be subject, (ix) the availability of any utilities to the Property, the Rec Lot Portion or any portion thereof including, without limitation, water, sewage, gas and electric, (x) usages of adjoining property, (xi) access to the Property, the Rec Lot Portion or any portion thereof, (xii) the value, compliance with the plans and specifications, size, location, age, use, design, quality, description, suitability, structural integrity, operation, title to, or physical or financial condition of the Property, the Rec Lot Portion or any portion thereof, or any income, expenses, charges, liens, encumbrances, rights or claims on or affecting or pertaining to the Property, the Rec Lot Portion or any part thereof, (xiii) the condition or use of the Property or the Rec Lot Portion or compliance of the Property or the Rec Lot Portion with any or all past, present or future federal, state or local ordinances, rules, regulations or laws, building, fire or zoning ordinances, codes or other similar laws, (xiv) the existence or non-existence of underground storage tanks, surface impoundments, or landfills, (xv) the merchantability of the Property or the Rec Lot Portion or fitness of the Property or the Rec Lot Portion for any particular purpose, (xvi) the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Property Documents, (xvii) tax consequences, or (xviii) any other matter or thing with respect to the Property or the Rec Lot Portion.
11.2 Sale “As Is, Where Is.” Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that upon Closing, Seller shall sell and convey to Purchaser and Purchaser shall accept the Property “AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS,” except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement and any document executed by Seller and delivered to Purchaser at Closing. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and in any document executed by Seller and delivered to Purchaser at Closing, Purchaser has not relied and will not rely on, and Seller has not made and is not liable for or bound by, any express or implied warranties, guarantees, statements, representations or information pertaining to the Property or the Rec Lot Portion or relating thereto (including specifically, without limitation, information packages distributed with respect to the Property and/or the Rec Lot Portion) made or furnished by Seller, or any real estate broker, agent or third party representing or purporting to represent Seller, to whomever made or given, directly or indirectly, orally or in writing. Purchaser represents that it is a knowledgeable, experienced and sophisticated purchaser of real estate and that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, it is relying solely on its own expertise and that of Purchaser’s consultants in purchasing the Property and becoming a member in the Association (defined below) and shall make an independent verification of the accuracy of any documents and information provided by Seller. Purchaser will conduct such inspections and investigations of the Property and the Rec Lot Portion as Purchaser deems necessary, including, but not limited to, the physical and environmental conditions thereof, and shall rely upon same. By failing to terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser acknowledges that Seller has afforded Purchaser a full opportunity to conduct such investigations of the Property and the Rec Lot Portion as Purchaser deemed necessary to satisfy itself as to the condition of the Property and the Rec Lot Portion and the existence or non-existence or curative action to be taken with respect to any Hazardous Materials on or discharged from the Property or the Rec Lot Portion, and will rely solely upon same and not upon any information provided by or on behalf of Seller or its agents or employees with respect thereto, other than such representations, warranties and covenants of Seller as are expressly set forth in this Agreement. Upon Closing, Purchaser shall assume the risk that adverse matters, including, but not limited to, adverse physical or construction defects or adverse environmental, health or safety conditions, may not have been revealed by Purchaser’s inspections and investigations.
11.3 Seller Released from Liability. Purchaser acknowledges that it will have the opportunity to inspect the Property and the Rec Lot Portion during the Inspection Period, and during such period, observe its physical characteristics and existing conditions and the opportunity to conduct such investigation and study on and of the Property and the Rec Lot Portion and adjacent areas as Purchaser deems necessary, and upon the occurrence of the Closing Purchaser hereby FOREVER RELEASES AND DISCHARGES Seller from all responsibility, obligations, claims, demands and liability whatsoever regarding the physical condition, valuation, salability or utility of the Property and the Rec Lot Portion, or its suitability for any purpose whatsoever, past, present and future, including, but not limited to, with respect to the presence in the soil, air, structures and surface and subsurface waters, of Hazardous Materials or other materials or substances that have been or may in the future be determined to be toxic, hazardous, undesirable or subject to regulation and that may need to be specially treated, handled and/or removed from the Property or the Rec Lot Portion under current or future federal, state and local laws, regulations or guidelines, and any structural and geologic conditions, subsurface soil and water conditions and solid and hazardous waste and Hazardous Materials on, under, adjacent to or otherwise affecting the Property, and further including, but not limited to, liabilities under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act Of 1980 (42 U.S.C. Sections 9601 et seq.), as amended (“CERCLA”). Further, by Closing this transaction Purchaser will be deemed to have WAIVED any and all objections and complaints (including, but not limited to, federal, state and local statutory and common law based actions, and any private right of action under any federal, state or local laws, regulations or guidelines to which the Property or the Rec Lot Portion is or may be subject, including, but not limited to, CERCLA) concerning the physical characteristics and any existing conditions of the Property or the Rec Lot Portion. Upon the occurrence of the Closing, Purchaser further assumes the risk of changes in applicable laws and regulations relating to past, present and future environmental conditions on the Property and the Rec Lot Portion and the risk that adverse physical characteristics and conditions, including, without limitation, the presence of Hazardous Materials or other contaminants, may not have been revealed by its investigation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the foregoing release and waiver is not intended and shall not be construed as affecting or impairing any rights or remedies that Purchaser may have against Seller with respect to (i) a breach of any of Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, but subject to any limitation on survival after the Closing set forth in this Agreement, (ii) any of the obligations of Seller under this Agreement that expressly survive Closing, but subject to any limitation on survival after the Closing set forth in this Agreement, or (iii) any acts constituting fraud by Seller, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a non-appealable decision.
11.4 “Hazardous Materials” Defined. For purposes hereof, “Hazardous Materials” means “Hazardous Material,” “Hazardous Substance,” “Pollutant or Contaminant,” and “Petroleum” and “Natural Gas Liquids,” as those terms are defined or used in Section 101 of CERCLA, and any other substances regulated because of their effect or potential effect on public health and the environment, including, without limitation, PCBs, lead paint, asbestos, urea formaldehyde, radioactive materials, putrescible materials, and infectious materials.
11.5 Survival. The terms and conditions of this Article 11 shall expressly survive the Closing and shall not merge with the provisions of any closing documents.

ARTICLE 12 – Permitting Contingency
12.1 Purchaser’s Project.
12.1.1 [****].
12.1.2 For purposes of this Agreement, “Final Project Approvals” shall mean: (A) the obtainment by Purchaser of: (i) all approvals from Governmental Authorities (defined below) as Purchaser reasonably requires to develop, use and operate the Project including, without limitation: (1) Town site plan approval for the Project, together with any deviations, exceptions, design waivers, bulk variances or the like (collectively, a “Variance”), provided, however, Purchaser shall not request a Variance without Seller’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (“Site Plan Approval”); (2) Town approval of a zoning amendment to incorporate the Property into the MOD permitting the Project; (3) Town subdivision approval or internal property subdivision (“Subdivision Approval”) as permitted in the MOD zoning regulations as and to the extent necessary to allow for: (x) the conveyance of the MOB Lot to Purchaser; and (y) the conveyance of the Recreation Lot to the Association; and (4) Town approval to convey to the Association for consideration of not more than [****] ([****]), as part of the creation of the Recreation Lot above mentioned, the following lots identified on the Town Tax Map: Section 33.11, Block 3, Lots 6, 7 and 8 (herein, the “Municipal Parcels”) as and to the extent and subject to and in accordance with said Town approval (the “Municipal Parcels Approval”), but as to the approvals described in this Section 12.1.2(A)(i), expressly excluding any zoning amendment (other than as described in clause (2) of Section 12.1.2(A)(i) or building permit; and (ii) [****]; and (B) the expiration of any applicable appeals period with respect to the approvals described in Section 12.1.2(A) without any appeals or legal challenges having been made or, if made, such appeals or legal challenges have resulted in a final determination in favor of the issuance of same; provided, however, the parties agree that the appeals period for the zoning amendment described in clause (2) of Section 12.1.2(A)(i) shall not exceed one hundred twenty (120) days (the approvals described in Section 12.1.2(A)(i) and (ii) herein referred to collectively as “Purchaser’s Approvals”). In addition, for purposes of this Agreement, “Governmental Authority” and “Governmental Authorities” means each and every federal, state, county and/or local governmental or quasi-governmental authority, agency, bureau, board, commission and body having jurisdiction over the Project.
12.1.3 The parties agree that Purchaser’s Permitting Contingency shall not be deemed to have been satisfied if the conditions of Final Project Approvals would require the aggregate expenditure of more than [****] for on-site improvements (including improvements to the Residential Lot, the MOB Lot and the Recreation Lot) not included in or contemplated by Purchaser’s Proposed Approval and/or the Residential Lot Approvals (and expressly excluding sums that are the subject of Section 12.9) and/or require the performance of work or are subject to conditions not typical of: (x) the Project to be undertaken by Purchaser; or (y) the Town for projects similar to the Project including as to use, size, density, traffic and environmental impacts, parking, landscaping, and infrastructure irrespective of the cost thereof including, without limitation, impact fees, below market rate fees, recreation fees and the like. For avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that any condition of Final Project Approvals that conditions the: (i) development of the MOB Lot on the prior or simultaneous commencement, continuation or completion of the development of the Residential Lot; or (ii) issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the Project on the commencement or completion of the development of the Residential Lot shall, at Purchaser’s election, render Purchaser’s Permitting Contingency not to have been satisfied.
12.2 Purchaser’s Proposed Approval.
12.2.1 Purchaser, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than [****] after the expiration of the Inspection Period, shall, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, apply for Purchaser’s Approvals, other than those of Purchaser’s Approvals for which Site Plan Approval is required in order to process an application, which may be deferred until after Site Plan Approval (all of which shall be materially consistent with Purchaser’s Proposed Approvals (defined below)) from applicable Governmental Authorities including, without limitation, the Town, and Purchaser shall thereafter diligently, in good faith and using commercially reasonable efforts, pursue such application(s) to completion. Purchaser agrees that the Existing Site Plan and the Conceptual Plan are generally acceptable to Purchaser and that Purchaser’s Approvals shall be substantially in accordance with the Existing Site Plan and the Conceptual Plan, subject to such modifications as Purchaser may reasonably require to allow for the Project as contemplated by this Agreement, taking into account nevertheless the unified nature of the Existing Site Plan. Purchaser shall, promptly following the end of the Inspection Period, submit to Seller draft applications for Site Plan Approval, Subdivision Approval and the Municipal Parcels Approval (including, without limitation, all drawings, studies, reports and maps (collectively, “Purchaser’s Proposed Approval”) for Seller’s reasonable approval (the revision/submission, review, approval/disapproval and request for revisions process described in this Section 12.2 herein referred to as the “Review Process”).
12.2.2 Purchaser agrees that Purchaser’s Approvals and Purchaser’s Proposed Approval shall be in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance and the MOD zoning regulations, each as then in effect or, as to the MOD zoning regulations, if not yet adopted, as then proposed, subject to Purchaser’s right to seek a Variance in accordance with Section 12.1.2. [****]. Seller shall have twenty (20) days after receipt of any request of Purchaser for approval of Purchaser’s Proposed Approvals to approve or disapprove the same and, if Seller fails to approve Purchaser’s Proposed Approvals, it shall provide a reasonably detailed description of the reasons therefor (herein referred to as “Seller’s Request for Revisions”). Seller agrees it would be unreasonable for Seller to raise objection to any portion of Purchaser’s Proposed Approvals that is substantially consistent with the Conceptual Plan. Purchaser shall thereupon have ten (10) days to revise Purchaser’s Proposed Approvals to address the issues raised in Seller’s Request for Revisions and resubmit the revised Purchaser’s Proposed Approvals to Seller for approval. Seller shall have seven (7) days after receipt of any request of Purchaser for approval of Purchaser’s revised Purchaser’s Proposed Approvals to approve or disapprove the same and, if Seller fails to approve Purchaser’s revised Purchaser’s Proposed Approvals, it shall provide Purchaser with a Seller’s Request for Revisions. The Review Process shall continue, with each party having seven (7) days to revise/resubmit, review and approve/disapprove, until Seller approves Purchaser’s Proposed Approvals. If Seller has not approved Purchaser’s Proposed Approvals by the end of the [****] period following the Inspection Period, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and, following Escrow Agent’s return of the Earnest Money to Purchaser, neither party shall have any further obligation hereunder, except for such obligations as are herein expressly stated to survive termination.
12.2.3 Purchaser shall provide Seller with a copy of Purchaser’s applications for Purchaser’s Approvals and copies of any and all material submissions and/or material written communications with Governmental Authorities, in all cases promptly following Purchaser’s submission thereof to each Governmental Authority. Seller agrees, upon request of Purchaser, at Purchaser’s expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees), to cooperate with Purchaser in all reasonable ways regarding the processing of Purchaser’s Approvals including, without limitation, the timely execution of applications for Purchaser’s Approvals upon Purchaser’s reasonable request. Purchaser shall keep Seller reasonably informed as to the status of Purchaser’s applications for Purchaser’s Approvals and further shall provide Seller with copies of all material communications received by Purchaser from each Governmental Authority promptly following receipt thereof by Purchaser. Seller [****] shall have the right to attend all public and private meetings with Governmental Authorities concerning Purchaser’s Approvals and Purchaser shall provide Seller with notice of each such meeting. Purchaser shall promptly provide Seller with a copy of Purchaser’s Approvals promptly following receipt by Purchaser thereof.
12.3 Purchaser’s Right to Extend/Terminate.
12.3.1 [****].
12.3.2 In the event Purchaser shall have duly elected to extend the Outside Date for the Outside Date Extension Period and Purchaser’s Permitting Contingency shall not have been satisfied or waived by the Outside Date as extended (i.e., by the last day of the Outside Date Extension Period), then, in that event, Purchaser shall only have the right, by written notice to Seller given not later than the Outside Date (as previously extended for the Outside Date Extension Period), TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE, to cancel this Agreement, whereupon Escrow Agent shall deliver the Earnest Money and accrued interest thereon, if any, to Purchaser (less any portion thereof that has become non-refundable in accordance with Section 12.8) and this Agreement shall terminate and cease to be of further force and effect and neither party shall have any further obligation or liability hereunder to the other, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement to the contrary. In the event Purchaser fails to notify Seller of Purchaser’s election to cancel this Agreement in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected not to cancel this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.3.2 and Purchaser’s Permitting Contingency shall be deemed satisfied.
12.3.3 [****].
12.4 Purchaser’s Project Contracts and Documents. If this Agreement terminates for any reason other than Seller’s default hereunder (but including in the case of Seller’s default where Seller has complied with its obligations under Section 10.2), anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Purchaser shall, not later than ten (10) days after any such termination, deliver to Seller: (i) legible copies of all Purchaser Project Documents and Purchaser Project Contracts (each as defined below); and (ii) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Seller that all Purchaser Project Documents and Purchaser Project Contracts have been paid for in full or that all sums owing for work and or services performed to date have been paid in full. Purchaser, in such event, agrees that all rights it may have with respect to such Purchaser Project Documents and Purchaser Project Contracts are released in favor of Seller and that, in so far as Purchaser is concerned, Seller shall have the right to the use thereof without obligation to Purchaser. Seller shall have the right to provide a copy of this Agreement (redacted to omit financial or economic information as reasonably agreed to by the parties) to any party to a Purchaser Project Contract as evidence of the foregoing release. For purposes of this Section 12.4: (x) “Purchaser Project Contracts” means, as of any date, all contracts and agreements of every kind and nature entered into at any time by Purchaser and pertaining in any way to the planning, design and/or construction of the Project, whether executory, in whole or in part, or completed; and (y) “Purchaser Project Documents” means, as of any date, the most recent draft of the following: plans, drawings, specifications, third party reports, studies and/or assessments, title reports, surveys, proposals, undertakings and other documents of every kind and nature commissioned or created at any time and in any fashion by Purchaser or by others for Purchaser and pertaining in any way to the Property and/or the Project. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller acknowledges and agrees that all Purchaser Project Contracts and all Purchaser Project Documents shall be provided to Seller on an “as is,” “where is,” “with all faults” basis, and without representation or warranty. Any reliance on or use of such materials, data or information by Seller shall be at the sole risk of Seller. The obligations of the parties set forth in this Section 12.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
12.5 [****].
12.6 [****].
12.7 Project Engineer. Purchaser understands that Seller is presently using Cameron Engineering & Associates, LLP (“Cameron”) to process the Existing Site Plan Application and will continue to use Cameron for such purpose until the end of the Inspection Period. Upon the expiration of the Inspection Period, Seller will cease all efforts to process the Existing Site Plan including efforts by Cameron on behalf of Seller with respect to the same. Seller will be responsible for all costs and expenses of Cameron for work Cameron performed or performs at Seller’s request pursuant to Seller’s agreement with Cameron and until Closing Seller shall retain all rights to Cameron’s work product prepared for Seller (and after Closing Seller shall retain such rights on a non-exclusive basis with [****]). Seller agrees that Purchaser shall have the non-exclusive right to use Cameron, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense and pursuant to Purchaser’s separate agreement with Cameron, to process Purchaser’s Approvals and if Purchaser does so Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Seller may nevertheless retain Cameron as a consultant for Seller with respect to Purchaser’s Approvals and/or the Residential Lot Approvals and/or [****]. Purchaser further understands, acknowledges and agrees that any use it may make of the Existing Site Plan, the materials comprising the Existing Site Plan Application and/or any other materials, plans, information and/or documents prepared by Cameron or any other third-party shall be at Purchaser’s sole risk and that Seller expressly disclaims any representations or warranties with respect thereto. In the event Seller continues to process the Residential Lot Approvals, the parties agree to reasonably cooperate with each other and, if either uses a consultant other than Cameron, to cause their respective consultants processing Final Project Approvals and the Residential Lot Approvals, to coordinate their efforts and likewise reasonably cooperate to obtain said Approvals. [****]. [****].
12.8 Earnest Money Non-Refundable. Purchaser agrees that: (i) upon the later of: (a) the expiration of the Inspection Period; and (b) the date the Final Project Approval described in Section 12.1.2(A)(i)(2) is obtained, [****]; and (ii) at such time as the Final Project Approval described in Section 12.1.2(A)(i)(1) is obtained, [****], shall, in case of either clause (i) and/or (ii) of this Section 12.8, be deemed fully earned and non-refundable in all cases whatsoever, except in the event this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 10.2 due to Seller’s uncured default.
12.9 [****].
12.10 Declaration. Promptly following the Effective Date, Seller and Purchaser shall jointly begin drafting a form of Declaration of Covenants, Restrictions, Easements and Agreements (the “Declaration”), the final approved form of which, to the extent not theretofore executed and recorded by Seller, shall be executed and delivered by Seller at Closing and thereafter recorded at Purchaser’s expense in the Westchester County Clerk’s Office prior to the recording of the Deed. Among other things, the Declaration will address the relative responsibilities of the owners of the Residential Lot and the MOB Lot for compliance with the conditions of Final Project Approvals and the Residential Lot Approvals including, without limitation, bonding obligations, construction, landscaping and maintenance of shared infrastructure and cost responsibility therefor as well as cross-easements required by each of said Lot owners to allow for the development, construction, use and occupancy of the Residential Lot and the MOB Lot and required access, utilities and drainage. The Declaration will also provide for the creation of an owners’ association (the “Association”) to take title to the Recreation Lot, perpetual, non-transferable membership of each of the Residential Lot and the MOB Lot in the Association as the sole members, and the development, use, maintenance, management, repair and operation of the Recreation Lot, as well as allocation of the costs associated therewith between the members [****]. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, and for avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the Declaration will be subject to and incorporate by reference conditions of the Final Project Approvals and the Residential Lot Approvals that the parties reasonably agree are required to be included in the Declaration and the parties agree to incorporate such other reasonable changes to the Declaration as may be required due to the Final Project Approvals and the Residential Lot Approvals including, without limitation, conditions of the Final Project Approvals and the Residential Lot Approvals that affect the joint development of the Property, the Residential Lot and/or the Recreation Lot. To the extent the Association requires approval by the New York State Attorney General, Purchaser shall be obligated to obtain such approval at its sole cost and expense and as a condition to Seller’s obligation to convey its interest in the Seller Land to the Association as herein set forth.
