On October 5, 2015, the Company, Tyngsborough Commons, the Plaintiffs and certain other parties named therein entered into the Settlement Agreement providing for, among other things: (i) the filing of a motion to stay the Tyngsborough Litigation upon the parties’ entry into the Settlement Agreement; and (ii) in connection with the closing of the sale of the Tyngsborough Land to Tyngsborough Commons (or its permitted assigns), (A) the filing of a stipulation of dismissal, with prejudice, of the Tyngsborough Litigation, upon the payment by the Company and Tyngsborough Commons to the Plaintiffs of an aggregate amount of $125,000 (the Company and Tyngsborough Commons separately agreed that the Company is only required to pay $50,000 of such settlement amount), (B) the termination of the Reciprocal Easement Agreement, dated as of November 23, 1998, by and between predecessors-in-title of the Plaintiffs and the Company as owners of certain real property (including, in the case of the Company and its predecessor-in-title, several lots constituting the Tyngsborough Land) and (C) the entry into a new easement agreement between the Company and the Plaintiffs pursuant to which each party granted the other certain rights of use and access with respect to the Tyngsborough Land. The executed stipulation of dismissal and termination of and new easement agreement have been, and the settlement funds will be, deposited with an escrow agent for filing with the registry of deeds and payment to the Plaintiffs, as applicable, in connection with the closing of the sale of the Tyngsborough Land. The Settlement Agreement also provides that if the closing does not occur on or before December 31, 2015 (or such later date as the parties to the Settlement Agreement agree in writing), the parties will not have any further obligations under the Settlement Agreement, the escrowed documents will be returned to the appropriate parties and the Plaintiffs may re-start the Tyngsborough Litigation.

On September 15, 2015 and September 30, 2015, the Company entered into amendments to the Purchase Agreement to extend the time period for closing. On October 9, 2015, in connection with the entry into the Settlement Agreement, the Company and Tyngsborough Commons entered into a Seventh Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement providing for, among other things: (i) an extension of the closing date to December 4, 2015; (ii) acceleration of the expiration of the Company’s representations and warranties and obligations under the Purchase Agreement to February 29, 2016; and (iii) the ability of Tyngsborough Commons to assign its rights under the Purchase Agreement to a third party buyer of a portion of the Tyngsborough Land with the Company’s consent, provided that certain conditions are met. The terms of the Purchase Agreement, as amended, provide that in the event that Tyngsborough Commons defaults on its obligation to complete the transaction, the Company will retain the entire amount of the deposits, which totaled $350,000 as of October 9, 2015.
