In no event shall Purchaser perform any test borings or other intrusive testing, with respect to the Property, including without limitation, any Phase II environmental testing without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be withheld in Seller’s sole discretion.
3.2.1.Insurance. Prior to entry upon the Real Property, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller evidence reasonably satisfactory to Seller that Purchaser (and/or applicable consultant or contractor) has obtained commercial general liability insurance in an amount of not less than $2,000,000 and written on such forms as are reasonably acceptable to Seller, naming Seller as an additional insured, with respect to the Property and any entry onto or activities on or about the Real Property by Purchaser and all of Purchaser’s agents, employees and contractors (and any others entering onto the Real Property for or at the request of Purchaser).
3.2.2.Limitation on Inspections. In connection with the right to enter upon the Real Property set forth in this Section 3, Purchaser agrees (i) to comply with all applicable laws, (ii) not to interfere with the operation of the Property, and (iii) to restore the Property to its prior condition after the performance of any such inspection. In addition, and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.1, Purchaser and its agents, employees and contractors (and any others entering onto the Real Property for or at the request of Purchaser) shall and do hereby agree to, indemnify, defend and hold Seller, its affiliates, its property manager and asset manager, the direct and indirect members, managers, partners, trustees, shareholders, beneficiaries, directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents of each of them, and their respective heirs, successors, personal representatives and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Related Parties”), harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, obligations, payments, damages, losses, penalties, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees) caused, directly or indirectly, by the actions of Purchaser and any and all of Purchaser’s agents, employees and contractors (and any others entering onto the Real Property for or at the request of Purchaser) taken or occurring in, on or about the Real Property in the exercise of the inspection right granted pursuant to this Section 3.1, including, without limitation, Purchaser’s obligations pursuant to this Section 3.2.2; provided, however, such indemnity shall not extend to protect Seller from any pre-existing liabilities for matters merely discovered by Purchaser (e.g., latent environmental contamination) so long as Purchaser’s
3



actions do not aggravate any pre-existing condition. The provisions of this Section 3.1.2 shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement.

Seller has made or within five (5) business days following the Effective Date shall make available for Purchaser’s inspection and copying those items, if any, set forth on Exhibit G attached hereto (excluding proprietary or confidential materials) to the extent in Seller’s possession and readily available. In the event Seller fails to timely deliver any of such items to Purchaser, the Inspection Period shall be automatically extended on a day-for-day basis until Purchaser’s receipt of all such items.
3.3.Zoning Approval Period. Purchaser shall have a period of six (6) months from the Effective Date (the “Zoning Approval Period”) to pursue the necessary unappealable approvals that will enable Purchaser to use the Property primarily for warehouse space, which may be achieved via modification to the Town of Middletown Zoning Ordinance uses for Office Business (OB) zone to allow for warehouse use via a special permit, and obtaining said special permit, or a zoning variance and any other approvals as necessary (collectively, “Approvals”). Seller shall provide access to the Property to Purchaser and Purchaser’s agents, employees, consultants, architects, surveyors and market analysts, upon reasonable notice to Seller (which shall not be less than 48 hours advance written or electronic notice), for the purpose of conducting such investigations, tests, assessments, inquiries or feasibility studies related to the Approvals, that Purchaser shall deem necessary in its discretion, provided Seller shall have the right to be present during any such investigations. Seller shall, promptly upon Purchaser’s request, give Purchaser the support necessary for obtaining the Approvals, including but not limited to, signing or authorizing Purchaser to sign, all applications, plats and other required documents. All costs associated with the Zoning Approval Period shall be borne by the Purchaser. Purchaser shall use best efforts to obtain the Approvals and shall at all times during the Zoning Approval Period (as may be extended) proceed with good faith and diligence to obtain such Approvals. If, despite Purchaser’s good faith efforts, Purchaser is unable to obtain all of the Approvals by the expiration of the Zoning Approval Period, Purchaser and Seller shall agree that Purchaser shall have the right to extend the Zoning Approval Period for up to three (3) thirty-day periods (each an “Extension Period”) in order for Purchaser to obtain the Approvals. In connection with each Extension Period, Purchaser must deliver an additional deposit of $15,000.00 to the Escrow Agent for each 30 day extension granted. Any such $15,000 extension deposits shall be included in the definition of Deposit and creditable against the Purchase Price, shall be held in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, and shall be non-refundable (except in the event of a Seller default or casualty/condemnation resulting in a termination of this Agreement) but credited towards the Purchase Price at closing. At the end of the third such Extension Period, if the municipality has not completed its re-zoning process and issued the Approvals, provided Purchaser is continue to pursue such Approvals in good faith and with diligence, Purchase shall have the right to additional thirty-day Extension Periods on the same terms and conditions as the initial Extension Periods.
3.4.Termination Option. Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement if it has determined in its sole discretion, for any reason or no reason at all, not to proceed with this transaction by giving written notice of such election to terminate to Seller by email only to ffeingold@kvh.com no later than 5:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time on the last day of the Inspection Period, in which event (a) the Initial Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and (b) except as expressly provided for in this Agreement, neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further liability or obligation to the other under this Agreement (the “Inspection Period Termination Option”). In the absence of such timely notice, the Inspection Period Termination Option provided for in this Section 3.2 shall automatically expire and be of no further force or effect, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, and Purchaser shall deliver the Additional Deposit to the Escrow Agent. In the event that the Approvals are denied by the municipality, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice
4



of such election to terminate to Seller by email only to ffeingold@kvh.com no later than 5:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time on the last day of the Zoning Approval Period, as may be extended, in which event (a) the Deposit, including any extension deposits made in accordance with Section 3.3,shall be returned to Purchaser and (b) except as expressly provided for in this Agreement, neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further liability or obligation to the other under this Agreement (the “Zoning Approval Termination Option”). Following the expiration of the Inspection Period, the Deposit shall be nonrefundable to Purchaser, except only if this Agreement is terminated solely due to Purchaser’s Zoning Approval Termination Option, a default by Seller or as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, if Purchaser terminates the Agreement during the Zoning Approval Period, as may be extended, prior to the municipality having rendered a decision denying or approving the Approvals, the Deposit, including all extension option payments, shall be non-refundable to Purchaser.
3.5.Pursuit of Licenses and Permits. For so long as this Agreement is in force and effect, Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser by joining in, signing and/or consenting to any documents, submissions, plans, permits and/or applications to any governmental entity in connection with the Property; provided that Seller incurs no liability, unreimbursed cost, or obligation by doing so. Purchaser shall keep Seller updated as to the status and progress of the Approvals throughout the Zoning Approval Period, as may be extended, no less than monthly.
3.6.Title and Survey. Within five (5) business days following the execution of this Agreement by Purchaser and Seller, Purchaser shall order a title commitment (the “Title Commitment”) for a title policy from a nationally recognized Title Insurance Company (the “Title Company”). Purchaser may, at its election, obtain an updated ALTA/ACSM survey of the Real Property (the “Survey”).
3.6.1.Title and Survey Objections. Purchaser shall have the right to object, in its reasonable discretion, to any exceptions to the Title Commitment or matters shown on the Survey that constitute title defects by giving written notice to Seller no later than the date which is ten (10) days prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, stating the matters to which Purchaser objects. Seller’s sole obligation relating to the standard pre-printed exceptions to title appearing in the Title Commitment shall be the provision to the Title Company at Closing of an affidavit (the “Seller’s Affidavit”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H (or otherwise as reasonably approved by the Title Company) and the provision of any other reasonable documentation or reasonable action required by the Title Company as may be described in the Requirements section of the Title Commitment. In addition, Purchaser agrees that it shall not object to any of the following matters:
(A)liens for unpaid real estate or personal property taxes or assessments and water rates, water meter charges, sewer taxes, rents and charges, if any, provided that such items are paid in full by Seller at or prior to Closing (or in due course pursuant to the Lease, as hereinafter defined unless required by the Title Company to deliver Purchaser’s owner’s policy of title insurance) and released of record to the satisfaction of the Title Company, or apportioned as provided in this Agreement;
(B)zoning laws and regulations and ordinances, proffers and similar conditions of municipal and other governmental authorities affecting the Property (but not violations thereof);
(C)any liens, encumbrances or other defects or exceptions to title insurance coverage caused by Purchaser, by any of its affiliates, by any of their respective agents, employees, contractors or other representatives or by Seller, by its affiliates, or by any of their agents, employees or other representatives at Purchaser’s request or with Purchaser’s consent.

If Purchaser timely objects to any matter affecting title or the Survey, then Seller shall, within five (5) days after receipt of such written notice, notify Purchaser in writing of its election to Cure or not Cure Purchaser’s objections and, if Seller elects to Cure, Seller shall use reasonable efforts to the extent provided for in Seller’s election to Cure such objections and shall provide Purchaser with a reasonably detailed description of the Cure to be undertaken, together with a description of the time frame in which such Cure is to be effected, provided that Seller shall use reasonable efforts to Cure such objections prior to the Closing, provided that “reasonable efforts” shall not require Seller to expend more than $25,000 in pursuit of such Cure, provided that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to or include any amounts necessary to pay in full any outstanding real estate taxes, water, sewer or other municipal charges, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens placed on Seller’s interest in the Property or any items constituting a mandatory Cure item under Section 3.6.3 below. Seller’s failure to timely notify Purchaser as set forth above shall be deemed an election not to Cure. If Seller elects not to Cure any such objections, or is deemed to have elected not to Cure any such objections, Purchaser’s sole recourse shall be to exercise its right to terminate this Agreement during the Inspection Period as provided in Section 3.2 of this Agreement. In the event Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement during the Inspection Period, such objections Seller has elected, or is deemed to have elected, not to Cure shall become Permitted Exceptions (as hereinafter defined) hereunder. In the event Seller elects to Cure any objections and Seller is unable to so Cure prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall have the options as described in Section 3.6.2 below.
After the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall have the right to object to any new title matters (i) that were not caused by Purchaser, and (ii) that first appear in the land records of the Middleton, Rhode Island after the expiration of the Inspection Period (a “New Title Matter”), by giving written notice to Seller no later than the date which is two (2) business days after Purchaser obtains knowledge of such New Title Matter. Within two (2) Business Days after Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s objection to any New Title Matter, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing of its election to Cure or not Cure Purchaser’s objections, and, if Seller elects not to Cure, is deemed to have elected not to Cure, or fails to so Cure prior to the Closing, then Purchaser will have the same options as set forth above (i.e., to terminate this Agreement or to waive its objections and proceed to Closing). If Seller receives a timely objection to a New Title Matter less than two Business Days prior to Closing, then the Closing Date will be extended to allow Seller a full two (2) Business Days to notify Purchaser of Seller’s election whether or not to Cure. If Seller elects to Cure, then the Closing Date will be extended as provided in Section 3.6.2 to allow Seller the opportunity to effect such Cure.
For purposes of this Section 3, the term “Cure” shall mean, at Seller’s election (i) the removal of such matter of record, (ii) the provision of information to the Title Company sufficient to remove such matter as a title exception in the Title Commitment, or (iii) the provision of a bond sufficient to cause the Title Company to remove such matter from the Title Commitment. The term “Permitted Exceptions” shall mean (w) the items set forth in subparagraphs (A) through (C) above, (x) all matters reasonably discoverable by an accurate survey or that appear on the public record which are not timely objected to by Purchaser as provided above or which are timely objected to but such objection is thereafter waived by Purchaser, (y) all documents, easements, encumbrances and other matters permitted or
6



contemplated to be recorded pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and (z) any matters which become Permitted Exceptions pursuant to Section 3.6.2 below.
3.6.2.Seller’s Opportunity to Cure. If Seller elects to Cure any title or survey objection, Seller shall have a reasonable period of time, not to exceed thirty (30) days, to do so and the Closing Date shall be extended, if necessary, to the date such items are Cured. If such objections are not Cured within the foregoing time period, then Purchaser may either: (a) terminate this Agreement, in which event (i) the Deposit, including any extension deposits, shall be returned to Purchaser, and (ii) except as expressly provided for in this Agreement, neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further liability or obligation to the other under this Agreement, or (b) proceed to Closing under this Agreement and take title to the Property subject to such uncured objections without any reduction in the Purchase Price, in which case such uncured objections shall become Permitted Exceptions.
3.6.3.Mandatory Cure Items. (i) All mortgages, and other monetary liens, (ii) all judgment liens affecting the Property; (iii) all mechanic’s and materialmen’s liens (but excluding all liens caused by either the failure of any tenant to satisfy any mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens or liens caused by acts of Purchaser or its agents, employees, contractors or representatives); and (iv) all encumbrances and title matters placed upon the Property by or permitted by Seller in violation of this Agreement, are deemed to be objections that Seller shall be obligated to Cure at or prior to Closing notwithstanding any provision above to the contrary.

12.2.1.If the Cost of Repair and Restoration (as hereinafter defined) of such destruction or damage shall be One Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) (the “Repair Threshold”) or less the obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall not be affected by such destruction or damage, and Purchaser shall accept title to the Property in its destroyed or damaged condition.

16



12.2.2.If the Cost of Repair and Restoration of such destruction or damage shall exceed the Repair Threshold, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by notice from Purchaser to Seller given on or before the date that is the earlier to occur of (a) ten (10) days after the date of the Cost Notice (as hereinafter defined) or (b) the Closing.

13.DEFAULT AND REMEDIES.
13.1.Seller’s Remedies. If Purchaser defaults in its obligation to close under this Agreement when required (and Purchaser’s default was not caused by Seller’s default under this Agreement), and Seller is otherwise ready, willing and able to perform its obligations on the Closing Date, Seller shall be entitled to receive the entire Deposit as agreed liquidated damages (and not as a penalty) and as Seller’s sole remedy, in lieu of, and as full compensation for, all other rights or claims of Seller against Purchaser by reason of such default. Upon such payment to Seller of the Deposit, this Agreement shall terminate and, except as expressly provided for in this Agreement, neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further liability or obligation under this Agreement. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that the damages to Seller resulting from Purchaser’s breach would be difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain with any accuracy, and that the liquidated damage amount set forth in this Section 13.1 represents both parties’ reasonable efforts to approximate such potential damages.
13.2.Purchaser’s Remedies. If Seller defaults in its obligations under this Agreement or fails to close under this Agreement, Purchaser’s sole remedy therefor shall be to either (a) bring an action for specific performance of Seller’s obligation under this Agreement to deliver the documents required under Section 10.1 above, provided that any action for specific performance must be initiated no later than ninety (90) days after the date that Closing is otherwise required to occur under this Agreement, and if Purchaser prevails thereunder, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for all reasonable legal fees, court costs and all other reasonable costs of such action; or (b) cure Seller’s breach and/or default, proceed with the Closing as provided for herein, and deduct the cost of said cure from the Purchase Price; or (c) terminate this Agreement and receive the entire Deposit, and recover from Seller all costs and expenses suffered or incurred by Purchaser in connection with Purchaser’s intended acquisition of the Property, not to exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). Such reimbursed costs shall be paid by Seller within ten (10) days following written request to Seller, accompanied by evidence of such costs incurred by Purchaser.
13.3.Remedies. In no event, shall either party to this Agreement be liable for any consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages. In addition, in no event shall the provisions contained in this Section 13 limit the right of Purchaser to terminate this Agreement by reason of a failure of a condition precedent to Closing under Section 9.3 above.
13.4.Professional Fees and Costs. If a lawsuit, arbitration or other proceedings are instituted by any party to enforce any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement against any other party hereto, the prevailing party in such litigation, arbitration or proceedings shall be entitled, as an additional item of damages, to such reasonable attorneys’ and other professional
17



fees and costs (including, but not limited to, witness fees), court costs, arbitrators’ fees, arbitration administrative fees, travel expenses, and other reasonable, actual, out-of-pocket expenses or costs of such other proceedings, which amount shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction, arbitrator or other judicial or quasi-judicial body having jurisdiction thereof, whether or not such litigation or proceedings proceed to a final judgment or award. For the purposes of this section, any party receiving an arbitration award or a judgment for damages or other amounts shall be deemed to be the prevailing party, regardless of amount of the damage awarded or whether the award or judgment was based on all or some of such party’s claims or causes of action, and any party against whom a lawsuit, arbitration or other proceeding is instituted and later voluntarily dismissed by the instituting party shall be deemed to be the prevailing party.
14.FURTHER ASSURANCES.
After the Closing, Seller and Purchaser agree to perform such other acts, and to execute, acknowledge and deliver, such other instruments, documents and other materials as the other may reasonably request (at no cost or liability to the performing party) and as shall be necessary in order to effect the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or to provide further assurances of any transfer, conveyance or assignment made pursuant to this Agreement. The provision of this Section 14 shall survive the Closing for a period of one year.

Purchaser and Seller each represent to the other that it has not dealt with any broker or agent in connection with this transaction other than Hayes & Sherry (the “Broker”).

Each of Purchaser and Seller hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the other from all loss, cost and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising out of a breach of its representation or undertaking set forth in this Section 16. The provisions of this Section 16 shall survive Closing or the termination of this Agreement.
17.MISCELLANEOUS.

Purchaser may not assign or transfer all or any portion of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any other individual, entity or person without the prior written consent thereto by Seller. However, Purchaser may, without the consent of Seller but after written notice to Seller, (i) direct that the deed be granted to an entity under common control with Purchaser or controlled by Purchaser or any of its principals or controlling Purchaser by notice to Seller or (ii) assign its rights under this Agreement to an entity under common control with or controlled by Purchaser or any of its principals, or controlling Purchaser. No assignment or transfer by Purchaser will release Purchaser of its obligations under this Agreement.

17.4.Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of each and every provision of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, specific time periods for performance by any party or the occurrence of any specified event set forth in this Agreement shall be extended for a period of time equal to any period of prevention, delay or stoppage due to the occurrence of force majeure events or conditions that materially adversely affect the performance by a party of its obligations under this Agreement or the occurrence of such event (other than the obligation to pay the Purchase Price at Closing); provided, however, that (i) the suspension of performance is of no greater scope and no longer duration than is reasonably required by the force majeure event, (ii) no obligations of the party which arose before the occurrence causing the suspension of performance are excused as a result of the occurrence, and (iii) the party uses commercially reasonable efforts to overcome or mitigate the effects of the occurrence.

17.7.Exhibits. All Exhibits which are referred to in this Agreement and which are attached to this Agreement are expressly made and constitute a part of this Agreement.
17.8.Merger. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, the acceptance of the Deed by the recordation thereof shall be deemed to be a full and complete performance and discharge of every agreement and obligation of Seller contained in this Agreement.
17.9.Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the Exhibits to this Agreement set forth all of the covenants, representations, warranties, agreements, conditions and undertakings between the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, inducements or conditions, express or implied, oral or written. This Agreement may not be changed orally but only by an agreement in writing, duly executed by or on behalf of the party or parties against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification, consent or discharge is sought.
17.10.Jury Trial Waiver. Each party hereby waives trial by jury in any action, proceeding, claim or counterclaim brought by either party in connection with any matter arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement and the relationship of Purchaser and Seller under this Agreement.

17.14.Severability. If any one or more of the provisions hereof shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
17.15.Lease. The parties acknowledge that upon Closing of the transaction, it is the intention that the Seller shall remain in possession of the Property as a tenant pursuant to a written lease agreement with Purchaser as Landlord in a form substantially as set forth on Exhibit I attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Lease”). The Lease shall be an absolute net lease which shall commence on the Closing Date and expire on the date which is six (6) months from the Closing Date (the “Lease Expiration Date”), with base rent at $4.00 per rentable square foot per year ($299,704), provided that, in the event that the Lease Expiration Date occurs prior to March 31, 2026, Seller shall have a one-time option to extend the term through and including March 31, 2026 with base rent for the period between the Lease Expiration Date and March 31, 2026 at $7.00 per rentable square foot per year ($524,482.00) upon the terms and conditions to be set forth in the Lease.
