Buyer's failure to deliver the Title and Survey Notice as aforesaid shall be deemed Buyer's approval and acceptance of the Title Commitments and the Surveys, and all matters shown and referenced thereon and therein shall be deemed Permitted Title Exceptions. Additionally, Buyer's failure to object to any matters disclosed by the Title Commitments and/or the Surveys in a Title and Survey Notice shall be deemed Buyer's acceptance of such matters, and such matters shall be deemed Permitted Title Exceptions. If Buyer shall deliver the Title and Survey Notice to Seller as aforesaid, Seller shall, within five (5) days after receipt of the same, notify Buyer in writing whether Seller intends to either (a) cause any Title/Survey Objection to be removed, (b) have the Title Insurer issue a title endorsement insuring against damage and loss caused by any Title/Survey Objection (which endorsement shall be subject to the review and reasonable approval of Buyer), or (c) take no further action regarding such Title/Survey Objection in which event, subject to the immediately following sentence, such Title/Survey Objection shall become a Permitted Title Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall, at its expense, remove (or cause to be removed) or cause the Title Company to insure over any Title/Survey Objection appearing on the Title Commitments that is any of the following: (1) judgments against Seller, and/or (2) mortgages or monetary liens, defects, obligations or exceptions of a definite and ascertainable amount that can be satisfied solely by the payment of money (items (1) and (2) above to be hereinafter referred to collectively as "MONETARY EXCEPTIONS"). If Seller elects, or is deemed to have elected, item (c) above with respect to any or all of the Title/Survey Objections, then Buyer shall have the right, by delivering notice to Seller 7 within three (3) business days after the expiration of the aforementioned five (5) day period to either (i) terminate this Agreement in which event the Deposit shall be immediately returned to Buyer and thereupon neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any further rights, duties or obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) waive its objection and accept title to the applicable Parcel subject to such Title/Survey Objection, in which event this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Seller's failure to notify Buyer within the aforementioned five (5) day period of which foregoing course of action Seller elects to take with respect to a Title/Survey Objection shall be deemed Seller's election of item (c) above. With respect to any Title/Survey Objection that Seller has elected or is deemed to have elected not to take any further action, Buyer's failure to terminate this Agreement on or before the expiration of the aforementioned three (3) business day period as aforesaid shall be deemed Buyer's waiver of its objection as provided in (ii) above. If the Title Commitments disclose judgments, bankruptcies or other matters against other persons having names the same as or similar to that of Seller, Seller, on the Title Insurer's request, shall deliver to the Title Insurer affidavits or other evidence reasonably acceptable to the Title Insurer showing and/or confirming that such judgments, bankruptcies or other matters are not against Seller, or any affiliates. If Seller has elected or, with respect to Monetary Defects, is required, to cure any Title/Survey Objection as provided above (whether by removal of, or obtaining title insurance over, the same), but failed to cure any such matters prior to the Closing Date, then Buyer may elect to either (i) terminate this Agreement in which event the Deposit shall be immediately returned to Buyer and thereupon neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any further rights, duties or obligations under this Agreement, (ii) waive its objection and accept the Property subject to such Title/Survey Objection, in which event this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect; provided, however, that if the Title/Survey Objection is a Monetary Exception, then Buyer shall have the right to deduct from the Purchase Price the amount of such Monetary Exception, and any amount so deducted from the Purchase Price shall be paid to the appropriate party in exchange for the removal of such Monetary Exception; or (iii) sue Seller for specific performance. At Closing, Escrow Agent shall deliver to Buyer an ALTA 1992 owner's (and with respect to the Second Parcel, an owner's fee and leasehold) title insurance policies for each of the Parcels (the "TITLE POLICIES") issued by the Title Insurer, or the unconditional commitment of Title Insurer to issue such policies (which commitment shall be deemed made upon the recordation of the Deeds by Escrow Agent as agent for Title Insurer), in the amount of the Price allocated to each Parcel as set forth on Exhibit L attached hereto, insuring fee simple (and, with respect to the Second Parcel, fee and leasehold) title to the applicable Parcel of the Real Property (including any easements and rights appurtenant to such Parcel) in Buyer (or Buyer's nominee or assignee, as the case may be), subject only to the Permitted Title Exceptions applicable to the particular Parcel, and containing the Special Endorsements (as defined in Schedule 1 hereto) and any other title endorsements providing insurance coverage over any Title/Survey Objection. Buyer shall be responsible for payment of the premium of the Title Policies and any Special Endorsements. Seller shall be responsible for payment of the premium/cost of removing any Title/Survey Objection and/or any endorsement providing title insurance over any Title/Survey Objection. 7. INSPECTION OF REAL PROPERTY. Buyer's obligation to close the transaction contemplated by this Agreement hereby is subject, at Buyer's sole option, to Buyer's review and approval of (i) any and all financial data and information relating to the Property, (ii) the physical, structural and environmental condition of the Property, (iii) the Leases and the Hutt Lease, (iv) any other documents and materials delivered or made available to Buyer, and (v) any and all other aspects and elements of the 8 Property (collectively, "INSPECTIONS").

Seller shall make all books, records and files relating to the Property (including, without limitation, all tenant files and correspondence) available to Buyer for its review. Buyer shall have the right to interview any and all tenants of the Property. Buyer shall maintain a casualty and liability insurance policy with a combined single limit of $1,000,000 naming Seller as an additional insured and issued by a reputable national insurance company. In connection with the Inspections, Buyer shall, prior to any entry onto the Real Property, provide Seller with reasonable evidence of the existence of such insurance coverage such as a certificate as to such insurance coverage. Buyer shall promptly restore the Real Property after any such entry to substantially the condition that existed immediately prior to such entry. In connection with such entry by Buyer upon the Real Property, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any disturbance of business operations conducted upon the Real Property by Tenant, and Buyer shall indemnify, defend, and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, liability, and/or expense arising from Buyer's entry onto the Real Property. Such indemnity shall survive the cancellation, termination, or Closing of this Agreement. 8. INSPECTION PERIOD. If, by no later than thirty (30) days after the date of this Agreement (the "INSPECTION PERIOD"), Buyer determines, in its sole and absolute discretion and for any or no reason whatsoever, that the Property is not suitable for Buyer's contemplated purposes, then the Buyer shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement by written notice delivered to Seller and Escrow Agent on or before the expiration of the Inspection Period. If Buyer fails to notify Seller or Escrow Agent in writing on or prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period that Buyer has approved or disapproved the Real Property then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to waive its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8, and be deemed to have elected to continue this Agreement to Closing pursuant and subject to the terms hereof. If Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 8, then the Deposit shall be immediately returned to Buyer, and neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement. 9.

Seller covenants that it shall not interfere with, frustrate or otherwise affect the ability of the tenants to continue maintaining their stores in the same manner as heretofore maintained and otherwise in compliance with the terms and provisions of the Leases. Seller, at Seller's sole cost and expense, shall maintain or cause to be maintained the Property (other than the tenant's store thereon) free from waste and neglect and in as good order and repair as of the date hereof and 13 shall keep and perform or cause to be performed all obligations of the lessor under the Leases and all obligations of the Property owner or its agents required under any Legal Requirements, to and including the Closing Date or termination of this Agreement, whichever shall occur. Subject to closing and Section 15 below, on the Closing Date, Seller shall tender possession of the Property to Buyer in the same condition the Property was in when last inspected by Buyer, except for ordinary wear and tear, casualty loss and condemnation.

Buyer hereby represents and warrants to Seller that: (a) Buyer is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its organization and has the legal right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform all of its obligations hereunder, and this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Buyer, enforceable in accordance with its terms. (b) The execution by Buyer and delivery of this Agreement, and the performance by Buyer of its obligations hereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary action by and on behalf of Buyer and will not conflict with or result in a breach of, any of the terms, covenants and provisions of the organizational documents of Buyer as any of the same may have been amended. (c) The representations and warranties set forth in Sections 10.2 (a) and (b) hereinabove shall be true and correct on and as of the Closing Date with the same force and effect as if made at that time. 11. COMMISSIONS. If and only if this Agreement actually closes in accordance with the terms hereof, then Seller shall be solely responsible to pay all real estate brokerage commissions to Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. ("HFF"), as Seller's broker ("SELLER'S BROKER"). Buyer represents that no person or entity has served as Buyer's broker. Each party hereto represents and warrants to the other that it has not employed any other broker or finder in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Each party shall indemnify, defend and hold the other harmless from all liability and expense including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs and expert witness fees and costs arising from any claim by any broker, agent or finder (other than Broker) for commissions, finder's fees or similar charges, because of any act of such party. Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold Buyer harmless from all liability and expense including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and costs and expert witness fees and costs arising from any claim by Seller's Broker. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the obligations of the parties pursuant to this Section shall survive the Closing and any termination hereof. Such commissions due from Seller to Seller's broker shall be paid to Seller's broker pursuant to a separate agreement between Seller and such broker. 12. RISK OF LOSS. Subject to the terms hereof regarding Buyer's entry upon the Real Property, and subject to Section 15 hereinbelow, risk of loss of the Real Property until the Closing shall be borne by Seller. 13. PRORATIONS; CLOSING COSTS. 13.1 PRORATIONS. 15 (a) The items set forth below in this subsection (a) shall be prorated and apportioned, without duplication, as of 11:59 p.m. of the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, with Seller bearing all expenses with respect to the Property and receiving the benefit of all income with respect to the Property through and including the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, and Buyer receiving the benefit of all income from the Property and being charged with all expenses with respect to the Property on and after the Closing Date. If, at Closing, Buyer is entitled to a net credit as a consequence of prorations or adjustments pursuant to this subsection (a), then the net credit shall be offset against the Purchase Price. The items to be prorated and, in certain instances, the method for determining such prorations are as follows: (i) All rent and other amounts payable under the Leases (whether or not paid as of the Closing Date) for the calendar month in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated, on a per diem basis, as of 11:59 p.m. of the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, with Buyer receiving a credit in an amount equal to the product of (1) the per diem amount of such rent and other charges, and (2) the number of days from and including the Closing Date until the last day of the month in which Closing occurs. Rents and other sums in arrears as of the Closing Date will be paid to Seller by Buyer if, as and when collected by Buyer; provided, however, that Buyer shall have no affirmative obligation to collect such delinquent rent or other sums in arrears for the benefit of Seller but shall reasonably cooperate with Seller (at Seller's cost and expense) in its efforts to collect such sums, provided, further, however, that Buyer shall have no obligation to sue or file suit against (or participate in any suit against) any tenant for delinquent rent. The first monies received after Closing by Buyer from each tenant of the Property who is in arrears at Closing as to rent or other charges shall be applied (1) first to current rent and other charges and obligations of such tenant arising from and after the Closing Date, and (2) then to rent or other charges which were in arrears on the Closing Date. Buyer shall promptly remit to Seller, and Seller shall promptly remit to Buyer, all sums received after Closing from tenants to which the other party is entitled pursuant to the provisions hereof. Seller shall have no right to seek eviction of any tenant or the termination of any tenant's Lease on account of such delinquency. (ii) Percentage rent, if any, payable under each Lease for the percentage rent year, or other applicable time period, in which the Closing occurs, shall be prorated as of 11:59 p.m. of the day immediately preceding the Closing Date on a per diem basis as and when such percentage rent is collected. (iii) Certain of the Leases may contain tenant obligations to pay for taxes, common area expenses, operating expenses and/or additional charges of any other nature relating to the Property and/or certain portions thereof (collectively, the "CAM CHARGES"). Tenants that are obligated to reimburse for CAM Charges pay one-twelfth (1/12) of an annually budgeted amount per month (each a "MONTHLY CAM REIMBURSEMENT PAYMENT") during each calendar year. In the month in which the Closing occurs, any of the Monthly CAM Reimbursement Payments payable to Seller from such tenants for CAM Charges (whether or not paid as of the Closing Date) shall be pro-rated between Seller and Buyer, on a per diem basis, with Seller providing a credit to Buyer at Closing for its share of those Monthly CAM Reimbursement Payments based on the number of days from and including the Closing Date to the end of the month. (iv) With respect to the period from January 1, 2003 to the Closing Date, Seller and Buyer shall work together in good faith after Closing to compare on a tenant-by-tenant basis the actual CAM Charges incurred by Seller from such tenant and the actual Monthly CAM Reimbursement Payments received by Seller up to the Closing Date. By no later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Seller and Buyer shall mutually agree upon and sign a schedule that sets forth on a tenant-by-tenant basis a reconciliation based upon those actual 16 expenses incurred by Seller and reimbursements received by Seller (each a "RECONCILIATION"). If a Reconciliation with respect to a tenant shows that Seller has received more Monthly CAM Reimbursement Payments than CAM Charges have been incurred over such time period, then Seller shall pay to Buyer any such overage within ten (10) days after Seller and Buyer have signed the Reconciliation schedule, at which time Buyer shall then be responsible for reimbursing any tenant for any overages for their Monthly CAM Reimbursement Payments incurred for the entire 2003 calendar year, if any. In the event that the Reconciliation schedule shows any cases where Seller has incurred a greater amount in CAM Charges than Monthly CAM Reimbursement Payments received for any tenant, then Buyer agrees to promptly pay to Seller such overpayment within ten (10) days after Buyer shall receive such amount from the applicable tenants. Seller and Buyer agree to cooperate with each other in connection with the reconciliation of percentage rent, CAM Charges and other charges passed through to tenants under the Leases for calendar year 2003. (v) Real estate taxes (including personal property taxes on personal property included in this sale), stormwater charges, water charges and sewer rents (including, without limitation, any and all real estate taxes (including personal property taxes on personal property included in this sale), stormwater charges, water charges and sewer rents attributable to the premises demised by the Hutt Lease and payable by the tenant/ground lessee), if any, shall be apportioned on a per diem basis, with Buyer receiving a credit at Closing for any such amounts levied or assessed during, or attributable to, any period of time prior to the Closing Date that have not been paid as of the Closing Date, and Seller receiving a credit for any such amounts attributable to any period of time from and after the Closing Date that have been paid as of the Closing Date. Any apportionment of real estate taxes and/or stormwater charges to be made with respect to a tax or other applicable year for which either the tax rate or assessed valuation or both or stormwater rate have not yet been fixed, shall be estimated based upon one hundred ten percent (110%) of the most recent tax bill or stormwater rate relating to the Property. Any unfixed gas, electrical, water meter charges, if any, sewer rent and other utility charges in connection therewith, shall be estimated on the basis of the last meter reading to occur on or as close in time as possible to the Closing Date. Seller agrees to use its best efforts to have all such utilities meters read as of the Closing Date and the utilities transferred to Buyer. (vi) Notwithstanding anything contained in subsections (iii), (iv) and/or (v) above, any and all charges, costs, expenses, taxes or other amounts that are either (1) payable by a tenant directly (and not to the landlord under its Lease as a so-called "pass-through" item or as so-called "additional rent"), or (2) related to any repair, maintenance, replacement or service obligations that are the sole responsibility of a tenant under its Lease (and the landlord under such Lease has no obligation to perform any such obligations), shall not be apportioned or prorated hereunder, and Buyer shall accept title to the Property subject to any of such charges unpaid and Buyer shall look solely to the tenant responsible therefor for the payment of the same. (vii) All special assessments applicable to the Real Property for any period of time prior to the Closing Date shall be prorated at Closing such that Buyer receives a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of such special assessment applicable to the period of time prior to the Closing Date. (viii) All alterations, installations, decorations and other tenant improvement work required to be performed prior to the Closing Date by the landlord under the Leases and all tenant improvement allowances and other concessions which the landlord under the Leases is obligated to pay to tenants of the Property prior to the Closing Date, including, without limitation, the allowances, matters and costs described on Exhibit M attached hereto, have been, or by the Closing Date will be, completed and are, or by the Closing Date will be, 17 paid in full by Seller. At Closing, Seller shall give Buyer a credit against the Purchase Price for the aggregate amount of all alterations, installations, decorations and other tenant improvement work required to be performed by the landlord under the Leases after the Closing Date and all tenant improvement allowances and other concessions which the landlord under the Leases is obligated to pay to tenants after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, those costs described on Exhibit M attached hereto. (ix) Other items customarily prorated. (b) The Deposit shall be paid to Seller and Buyer shall receive a credit against the Price in the amount of the Deposit. 13.2 CLOSING COSTS. Seller shall pay for all of the following costs and expenses relating to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement: (i) one-half of the closing escrow fee of the Escrow Agent (provided that Seller's total liability for such closing escrow fee shall not exceed $3,000); (ii) costs to remove any and all Title/Survey Objections and all premiums for any title endorsements providing insurance over any Title/Survey Objection, (iii) all state, county and local transfer taxes/transfer stamps; and (iv) any other charges customarily attributable to sellers of property in the Bristol and New Britain, Connecticut area. Buyer shall pay (a) all lender's title insurance and money lender's escrow charges incurred in connection with any mortgage loans obtained by Buyer, (b) one-half of the closing escrow fee of the Escrow Agent (and any amounts in excess of Seller's $3,000 escrow fee cap), (c) the costs of the Title Commitments, title examination and Surveys, (d) the premiums for the Title Policies and Special Endorsements, (e) the costs to record the Deeds, and (f) all other charges customarily attributable to Buyers of property in the Bristol and New Britain, Connecticut area. Each party shall bear its own legal expenses subject, however, to the terms of Section 14.3 hereinbelow. 13.3 POSSESSION. Subject to the rights of the tenants under the Leases, the Permitted Title Exceptions and the CCRs, Seller shall deliver exclusive possession of the Real Property (including the ground lessee's right, title and interest in, to and under the Hutt Lease) to Buyer (or Buyer's assignee or nominee, as the case may be) upon the Closing Date. 13.4 CLOSING STATEMENT. Seller and Buyer shall jointly prepare a preliminary closing statement (the "PRELIMINARY CLOSING STATEMENT") on the basis of the Leases, real estate taxes and other sources of income and expense for the month in which the Closing occurs (including CAM Charges), and shall deliver such Preliminary Closing Statement to the Escrow Agent on or prior to the Closing Date. The Preliminary Closing Statement and the apportionments and/or prorations reflected therein shall be based upon actual figures to the extent available. If any of the apportionments and/or prorations cannot be calculated accurately based on actual figures on the Closing Date, then (other than with respect to determination of real estate taxes that shall be computed as set forth in subsection (a) (v) above) the same shall be calculated based on Seller's and Buyer's good faith estimates thereof, subject to reconciliation as hereinafter provided. If there is an error on the Preliminary Closing Statement discovered within one (1) year after the Closing Date, or, if after the actual figures are available as to any items that were estimated on the Preliminary Closing Statement (including, without limitation, real estate taxes that were computed in accordance with subsection (a)(v) above), it is determined that any actual proration or apportionment varies from the amount thereof reflected on the Preliminary Closing Statement, then the proration or apportionment shall be adjusted based on the actual figures within sixty (60) days after discovery of such error or determination of such actual figures, as the case may be. Either party owing the other party a sum of money based on such subsequent proration(s) shall promptly pay said sum to the other party. The provisions of Section 13.1 above shall survive Closing and delivery of the Deed. 18 14. REMEDIES. 14.1 DEFAULT BY BUYER. If Buyer fails to perform when due any obligation required by this Agreement and/or defaults under this Agreement, Seller's sole and exclusive remedy under this Agreement, at law and in equity shall be to cancel this Agreement and the Escrow, such cancellation to be effective immediately upon Seller giving written notice of cancellation to Buyer and Escrow Agent. Upon such cancellation, Escrow Agent shall deliver to Seller the Deposit as liquidated damages, as consideration for acceptance of this Agreement and for taking the Real Property off the market, and not as a penalty, the parties agreeing and hereby stipulating that the exact amount of damages would be extremely difficult to ascertain and that the Deposit constitutes a reasonable and fair approximation of such damages. Nothing herein shall limit, in any way, Seller's rights and remedies under Section 7 hereinabove regarding Buyer's inspection of the Real Property, or the indemnity provisions relating to Brokers set forth under Section 11 above. 14.2 DEFAULT BY SELLER. If Seller fails to perform when due any obligation required by this Agreement and/or defaults under this Agreement, or if Seller shall violate any covenant or breach any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, then Buyer shall have the right to either (i) terminate this Agreement and the Escrow, such termination to be effective immediately upon Buyer giving written notice thereof to Escrow Agent, and upon such termination and without further instructions from Seller, Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit immediately to Buyer, or (ii) sue Seller for specific performance of the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Seller's default, failure to comply or breach shall be due to or on account of any intentional act of Seller or any of its employees, agents, representatives, shareholders, members or partners, or if Seller makes any intentional misrepresentation under this Agreement, then, in addition to the other rights and remedies available to Buyer (including the right to pursue specific performance which shall not be limited or restricted by this grammatical sentence), Seller shall, immediately upon demand, reimburse Buyer for any and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (not to exceed Twenty-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($25,000.00)) suffered or incurred by Buyer in connection with the transaction contemplated under this Agreement, including without limitation, all costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with its due diligence review of the Property. Nothing herein shall limit Buyer's rights with respect to the indemnity provisions relating to brokers set forth under Section 11 above. 14.3 ATTORNEYS FEES AND COSTS. If either party hereto institutes an action to enforce this Agreement the prevailing party shall be entitled to receive its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs and expert witness fees and costs from the non-prevailing party, the amount to be set by a court and not a jury. 14.4 WAIVER. Excuse or waiver of the performance by the other party of any obligation under this Agreement shall only be effective if evidenced by a written statement signed by the party so excusing. No delay in exercising any right or remedy shall constitute a waiver thereof, and no waiver by Seller or Buyer of the breach of any covenant of this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other covenant or condition of this Agreement. 14.5 NOTICE. No event or action shall be deemed a default hereunder until ten (10) days after receipt by the other party of written notice of such alleged default from the party alleging such default and failure to cure such alleged default within such time period. 19 15. CONDEMNATION AND/OR CASUALTY. 15.1 NOTICE. Seller shall notify Buyer and Escrow Agent in the event Seller becomes aware of condemnation, taking or other similar proceeding, or notice of condemnation taking or other similar proceeding, of any portion of the Real Property (individually, a "TAKING" and collectively, "Takings") or any damage, destruction or casualty (including without limitation, vandalism or fire) of or to any portion of the Real Property (individually, a "CASUALTY" and collectively, "Casualties") prior to Closing. 15.2 ELECTION. In the event that either (a) any Takings affecting any portion of the Real Property (or any right of access to the Real Property), or (b) any Casualties to the Real Property or any portion thereof prior to Closing and such Takings and/or Casualties (in the aggregate) affect a "substantial portion" (as hereinafter described) of the Property, then Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice delivered to Seller and Escrow Agent not later than ten (10) business days after the date Seller notifies Buyer of such Takings and/or Casualties (except that if the Closing Date is less than ten (10) business days following Buyer's receipt of such notice, Closing shall be delayed until Buyer makes such election). Takings and/or Casualties shall be deemed to affect a "substantial portion" of the Property if any of the following are true: (A) In the event of Casualties, (i) the estimated cost (as determined by Buyer's contractor, architect or engineer in good faith) to repair or restore any damage resulting from such Casualties exceeds $250,000 (in the aggregate), (ii) any tenant of the Property shall have the right to abate, offset or reduce any portion of the amount of rent payable under its lease, or (iii) any tenant of the Property shall have the right to terminate its lease in whole or in part, and (B) In the event of Takings, (i) such Takings relate to the taking or closing of any right of access to any portion of the Real Property, (ii) such Takings involve more than the equivalent of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) in value (in the aggregate), (iii) such Takings give any tenant of the Property the right to cause the termination of its Lease in whole or in part, (iv) such Takings involve the relocation of utility facilities serving any portion of the Real Property, or (v) such Takings give any tenant of the Property the right to abate, offset or reduce any portion of the amount of rent payable under its Lease. 15.3 TERMINATION.

(b) In calculating the annual rent during the second year of this Lease, the "CPI" in effect during the month of January of the first year of this Lease shall be used as a denominator; the "CPI" in effect during the month of December of the first year of this Lease shall be used a numerator; this fraction shall be multiplied by the sum $1,800.00. The resulting amount shall be the annual rent during the second year of this Lease except that it shall not be less than the annual rent during the first year. Said annual rent shall be payable on or before the first day of March of the second lease year in advance, at the office of the Landlord or at such other place designated by Landlord. (c) In calculating the annual rent during the third year of this Lease, and during each of the subsequent lease years, the "CPI" in effect during the month of January of the prior year of this Lease shall be used as a denominator; the "CPI" in effect during the month of December of the prior year of this Lease shall be used as a numerator; this fraction shall be multiplied by the sum representing the annual rent in effect during the prior year of this Lease. The resulting amount shall be the annual rent during the lease year in question except that it shall not be less than the annual rent in effect during the prior year of this Lease. The annual rent for each lease year shall be payable on the first day of March of each lease year, in 12 advance, at the office of the Landlord or at such other place designated by Landlord. ARTICLE XV. SECURITY FOR TENANT'S OBLIGATIONS. ACCOUNTING & WHOLE LIFE INSURANCE 15.01 CONDITIONAL ASSIGNMENT OF RENTALS. Tenant hereby conditionally assigns and pledges the rents, income and profits of all and every part of the premises within which the Leased Premises are a part, to the payment of the rental and performance of the obligations on the Tenant's part to be performed hereunder, by Tenant. If Tenant shall default in the payment of rental or in any of its obligations to be performed (and fail to cure such default after notice thereof as hereinabove provided), Landlord shall have the right forthwith and without further notice to enter upon the premises within which the Leased Premises are a part, and collect said rents, income and profits with or without the appointment of a receiver. All such net income after payment of the reasonable costs of collection thereof and attorneys' fees, shall be applied toward the costs incurred due to the default of Tenant including payment of rental due hereunder, and the remainder of such net income, if any, shall be paid over to Tenant. 15.02 WHOLE LIFE INSURANCE. To secure the payment of rental and the performance of the Tenant's obligations hereunder, and as a condition to and in consideration of Landlord's entering into this Lease and Agreement, Tenant shall purchase from the CNA Insurance Company (or other insurer acceptable to Landlord), a $45,000.00 whole life insurance policy on the life of John D. Scarritt, with a death benefit of $250,000.00. The Landlord, Stephen Hutt, shall irrevocably, be the owner of the policy and the beneficiary thereunder. The policy shall be delivered to Landlord upon the execution of this Lease 13 and Agreement, and shall be fully paid for at such time. The income or dividends of the policy will serve to pay directly, the rental due from the twenty-first year through ninety-ninth year of the Lease. To assure adequate security, the income or dividends generated by the policy will be assessed on the first day of the fifteenth year of the Lease. If the income or dividends shall be insufficient to fund the rental due, Tenant shall forthwith, pay monies into the policy to achieve a policy value sufficient to fund the required lease payments. If the policy provides income greater than the rental due in any lease year after the twenty-first year, then, in such event, this excess, if any, shall be credited to the rental to be due in succeeding lease years. The rental payments shall be made directly by Tenant and not from the policy during the first twenty lease years. Provided, however, there shall be no credit due Tenant for any such accumulated excess at the end of this Lease. In the event of the death of John D. Scarritt at any time during the term of the Lease, it will be assumed that the $250,000.00 death benefit (or actual death benefit) paid to the Landlord, Stephen Hutt, will earn interest at the "prime lending rate" that the United States Federal Reserve Board charges its member institutions. These assumed earnings will be applied toward the rent and any earnings in excess of the rental due shall be credited to the rental due in succeeding lease years. If these assumed earnings shall be insufficient to cover the actual lease rental payments due, than Tenant's successor or successors shall directly pay the amounts above the assumed earnings of the death benefit to meet the required rental payments. Tenant's heirs and successors shall have no claim or receive credit for any assumed earnings above the rental due at the end of the lease 14 or against or for any part of the death benefit paid to Stephen Hutt. Tenant acknowledges that Stephen Hutt shall be the irrevocable owner and beneficiary of the whole life insurance policy purchased. Upon a business failure or insolvency of the CNA Insurance Company, which renders the policy worthless, the policy shall be replaced forthwith by Tenant at an insurance company acceptable to Landlord. 15.03 TENANT'S LIABILITY. Notwithstanding any provision of this Article, Tenant and Tenant's heirs and successors shall be personally liable for the rental due hereunder whether the rental is paid directly by them, from the value of the insurance policy or by the assumed earnings of the death benefit in the event of the death of John D. Scarritt. 15.04 CALCULATIONS AND ACCOUNTING. All rental calculations under Article XIV and calculations and accounting required under Article XV shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant's expense. Tenant shall furnish written notice of and an explanation of these calculations and accounting to Landlord by the first day of March of each lease year, as applicable. 15.05 BORROWING AGAINST WHOLE LIFE POLICY. In the event Landlord takes loans against the Life insurance policy referred to hereinabove and/or cashes in the policy, then any rent payments due from Tenant shall immediately cease and Landlord's use of the life insurance policy shall be deemed as sufficient consideration for the balance of the Lease. Provided, however, the Landlord may exercise other rights of ownership including the use of the policy as collateral which the parties agree and acknowledge shall not affect the Tenant's obligation to pay rental hereunder. 15 ARTICLE XVI.

("BUYER") pertaining to real property commonly known as 1045 West Main Street, New Britain, Connecticut and 325 Oakland Street, Bristol, Connecticut (collectively the "PROPERTY"), which sum has been deposited in Escrow Number ____________ (the "ESCROW") with Chicago Title Insurance Company ("CTIC") in accordance with the Agreement. We, the undersigned, do hereby jointly and severally agree that except as expressly provided herein, CTIC ("ESCROW AGENT") shall incur no liability in connection with its good faith performance under the Agreement, and do hereby jointly and severally release and waive any claims we may have against CTIC which may result from its performance in good faith of its function as Escrow Agent, including but not limited to a delay in the transfer of funds. CTIC shall be liable only for the loss or damage caused directly by its acts of gross negligence or willfull misconduct while performing as Escrow Agent under this Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the authenticity of any signature and upon the genuineness and validity of any writing (including writings received by facsimile or electronic mail) received by Escrow Agent relating to this Supplement. Escrow Agent may rely upon any oral identification of a party notifying Escrow Agent orally as to matters relating to the Agreement and/or this Supplement if such oral notification is permitted thereunder. Escrow Agent is not responsible for the nature, content, validity, or enforceability of any of the escrow documents not produced by Escrow Agent. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THE AGREEMENT, CTIC, BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT ESCROW AGENT SHALL HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO AND SHALL NOT RELEASE ANY FUNDS IN THE ESCROW UNLESS AND UNTIL WRITTEN NOTICE HAS BEEN RECEIVED BY ESCROW AGENT AND EXECUTED BY BOTH BUYER AND SELLER, AUTHORIZING THE RELEASE OF THE FUNDS, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT BUYER SHALL HAVE THE UNILATERAL RIGHT TO DIRECT ESCROW AGENT TO RETURN (AND ESCROW AGENT SHALL RETURN) THE DEPOSIT TO BUYER AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE INSPECTION PERIOD (AS DEFINED IN THE AGREEMENT), SUBJECT, HOWEVER, TO THE CONDITION THAT, AT THE TIME BUYER DIRECTS DISBURSEMENT, BUYER NOTIFIES CTIC THAT BUYER HAS TERMINATED THE AGREEMENT. SAID NOTICE TO ESCROW AGENT SHALL SET FORTH THE AMOUNT TO BE RELEASED AND THE PARTY TO WHOM PAYMENT IS TO BE MADE. In the event of any disagreement between the parties hereto resulting in conflicting instructions to, or adverse claims or demands upon the Escrow Agent with respect to the release of the Deposit, other funds in Escrow or documents delivered into Escrow, the Escrow Agent may refuse to comply with any such instruction, claim or demand so long as such disagreement shall continue, and in so refusing the Escrow Agent shall not further release such funds or documents. The Escrow Agent shall not be, or become liable in any way for its failure or refusal to comply with any such conflicting instructions or adverse claims or demands, and it shall be entitled to continue to refrain from acting until such conflicting instructions or adverse claims or demands (a) shall have been reconciled by agreement and Escrow Agent shall have been notified in writing thereof by the Seller and Buyer; or (b) shall have finally been determined in a court of competent jurisdiction. The Escrow Agent may, at its sole discretion, resign by giving (30) days written notice hereof to the parties hereto. The parties shall furnish to the Escrow Agent written instructions for the release of such funds and documents in Escrow. If the Escrow Agent shall not have received such written instructions within the thirty (30) days, the Escrow Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Escrow Agent and upon such appointment deliver such funds and documents to such successor. Costs and fees incurred by the Escrow Agent may, at the option of the Escrow Agent, be deducted from any funds held pursuant hereto. None of the provisions of this Supplement shall prohibit Escrow Agent from bringing an interpleader action or from exercising any rights that might be afforded by statutory or common law to resolve any disagreements, uncertainties, conflicts, or disputes as to the administration by Escrow Agent of its duties and obligations hereunder.

The term "Leasehold Mortgage" as used in this Section 6.02 shall include a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt, or other security instrument by which the Leasehold Estate is mortgaged, conveyed, assigned or otherwise transferred to secure indebtedness for borrowed money. The term "Leasehold Mortgage", whenever used herein, shall further include whatever security instruments are or may hereafter be used in the locale of the Leased Premises, such as, without limitation, deeds of trust, security deeds and conditional deeds, as well as financing statements, security agreements and other documentation required pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law. The term "Leasehold Mortgage" whenever used herein shall also include any instruments required in connection with a sale-leaseback transaction with a Leasehold Mortgage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no more than two (2) Leasehold Mortgages at any time. c. The term "Leasehold Mortgagee" as used in this Lease shall mean a holder or beneficiary of a Leasehold Mortgage. (ii) Tenant shall notify Landlord of the identity and notice address for any Leasehold Mortgagee promptly after the closing of any loan secured by Tenant's Leasehold Estate. No surrender, termination, amendment or modification of this Lease by Tenant shall be effective as to any Leasehold Mortgagee unless consented to in writing by such Leasehold Mortgagee of which Landlord has been notified in writing. This provision shall not apply with respect to Tenant's surrender of this Lease, or the termination of this Lease, upon the expiration of the term set forth in Section 1.03 hereof. (iii) Upon providing Tenant any notice of: (1) default under this Lease, (2) a termination of this Lease, or (3) any matter on which Landlord may predicate or claim a default, Landlord shall at the same time provide a copy of such notice to every Leasehold Mortgagee. A Leasehold Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation, after its receipt of such notice, to cure any such default and such Leasehold Mortgagee shall be afforded (a) sixty (60) days to cure any such default or (b) if any such default is not curable within sixty (60) days, such longer period as may be required to complete such cure, including, without limitation, such time as may be required by such Leasehold Mortgagee to gain possession of Tenant's interest under this Lease, provided that such Leasehold Mortgagee notifies Landlord of its intention to cure such default and such Leasehold Mortgagee promptly commences and diligently pursues such cure to completion.

(iv) If a Leasehold Mortgagee remedies, or causes to be remedied, the default or act or omissions specified in a default notice, then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as if Tenant had not defaulted under this Lease. If such default, act or omission is not remedied prior to the expiration of any applicable cure period set forth in this Lease, then Landlord shall have all rights and remedies available to it under this Lease, at law and in equity. (v) For the purposes of this Lease, the making of a Leasehold Mortgage shall not be deemed to constitute an assignment or transfer of this Lease or of the Leasehold Estate hereby created, nor shall any Leasehold Mortgagee, as such, be deemed to be an assignee or transferee of this Lease or of the Leasehold Estate hereby created so as to require such Leasehold Mortgagee, as such, to assume the performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions on the part of the Tenant to be performed hereunder, but the purchaser at any sale of this Lease and of the Leasehold Mortgage, or the assignee or transferee of this Lease and of the Leasehold Estate hereby created in any proceedings for the Leasehold Mortgage shall be deemed to be an assignee or transferee of this Lease, and such party shall be deemed to have agreed to perform all of the terms, covenants and conditions on the part of the Tenant to be performed hereunder from and after the date of such purchase and assignment, but only for so long as such purchaser or assignee is the owner of the Leasehold Estate. (vi) Any Leasehold Mortgagee or other acquirer of the Leasehold Estate of Tenant pursuant to foreclosure, assignment in lieu of foreclosure or other proceedings may, upon acquiring Tenant's Leasehold Estate, sell and assign the Leasehold Estate on such terms and to such persons and organizations as are acceptable to such Leasehold Mortgagee or acquirer and thereafter be relieved of all obligations under this Lease. (vii) In the event of the termination of this Lease as a result of Tenant's default or the rejection hereof by a trustee in bankruptcy for or by Tenant pursuant to any state or federal bankruptcy or similar law or code, Landlord shall, in addition to providing the notices of default and termination as required by subsection (ii) above of this Section 6.02, provide each Leasehold Mortgagee with written notice that the Lease has been terminated (the "Notice of Termination"), together with a statement of all sums which would at that time be due under this Lease but for such termination, and of all other defaults, if any, then known to Landlord. Landlord agrees to enter into a new lease ("New Lease") of the Leased Premises with such Leasehold Mortgagee or its designee for the remainder of the term of this Lease, effective as of the date of termination, at the rent and additional rent, and upon the terms, covenants and conditions (including all options to renew but excluding requirements which are not applicable or which have already been fulfilled) of this Lease, provided that the following requirements are satisfied: a. Such Leasehold Mortgagee shall make written request upon Landlord for such New Lease within sixty (60) days after the date such Leasehold Mortgagee receives the Notice of Termination of this Lease; and Leasehold Mortgagee's failure to so notify Landlord shall be deemed Leasehold Mortgagee's waiver of its rights under this subsection (vii). 3 b. Such Leasehold Mortgagee or its designee shall pay or cause to be paid to Landlord at the time of the execution and delivery of such New Lease, any and all sums which would at the time of execution and delivery thereof be due pursuant to this Lease but for such termination and, in addition thereto, all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, which Landlord shall have incurred by reason of such termination and the execution and delivery of the New Lease and which have not otherwise been received by Landlord from Tenant or other party in interest under Tenant. Upon the execution of such New Lease, Landlord shall allow to the tenant named therein as an offset against the sums otherwise due under this subsection (vii) or under the New Lease, an amount equal to the net income, if any, derived by Landlord from the Leased Premises during the period from the date of termination of this Lease to the date of the beginning of the term of such New Lease. In the event of a controversy as to the amount to be paid to Landlord pursuant to this subsection (vii), the payment obligation shall be satisfied if Landlord shall be paid the amount not in controversy, and the Leasehold Mortgagee or its designee shall agree to pay any additional sum ultimately determined to be due. c. Such Leasehold Mortgagee or its designee shall agree to attempt to remedy any of Tenant's defaults of which said Leasehold Mortgagee was notified. d. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement from the holder of any mortgage, deed of trust or other security instrument encumbering fee title to the Leased Premises. (viii) A standard clause naming Leasehold Mortgagee may be added to any and all insurance policies required to be carried by Tenant under this Lease. (ix) So long as any Leasehold Mortgage is in existence, unless all Leasehold Mortgagees shall otherwise expressly consent in writing, fee title to the Leased Premises and the Leasehold Estate of Tenant therein created by this Lease shall not merge but shall remain separate and distinct, notwithstanding the acquisition of said fee title and said Leasehold Estate by Landlord or by Tenant or by a third party, by purchase or otherwise. (x) Notices from Landlord to the Leasehold Mortgagee shall be mailed to the address furnished Landlord pursuant to subsection (ii) of this Section 6.02, and those from the Leasehold Mortgagee to Landlord shall be mailed to the address designated in Section 13.06 below. Such notices, demands and requests shall be given by the means set forth in, and shall be deemed delivered at the times provided in, Section 13.06 below. No notice of default, alleged default or potential default delivered by Landlord to Tenant shall be effective unless and until a copy thereof shall be delivered to all Leasehold Mortgagees of which Landlord has been notified. (xi) No payment made to Landlord by a Leasehold Mortgagee shall constitute agreement that such payment was, in fact, due under the terms of this Lease; and a Leasehold Mortgagee having made any payment to Landlord pursuant to Landlord's wrongful, improper or mistaken notice or demand shall be entitled to the return of any such payment or portion thereof provided he shall have made demand therefor not later than six (6) months after the date of its payment. 4 (xii) Landlord covenants and agrees that Tenant alone shall be entitled to all proceeds of, from and under any Leasehold Mortgage at any time and from time to time effected pursuant to this Lease, and Landlord shall not be entitled to, and shall not receive or have an interest in, such proceeds or any part thereof, and hereby directs lender under such Leasehold Mortgage to pay the aforesaid proceeds directly to Tenant and hereby covenants to execute any further documents which may be required by the aforesaid Leasehold Mortgagee for such purpose. If, nevertheless, the aforesaid Leasehold Mortgagee shall refuse to pay the proceeds of such Leasehold Mortgage to a party other than Landlord, or Landlord and Tenant jointly, then Landlord agrees to hold all checks (or other orders for the payment of money) or cash proceeds received by it from the said Leasehold Mortgagee, in trust, and to forthwith endorse (if necessary, but without recourse or warranty) and turn same over to Tenant." 4. CERTIFICATIONS AND ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES AND AGREEMENTS. The following is hereby inserted as Section 16.06 of the Lease: "16.06 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Landlord shall, from time to time, within fifteen (15) days after written request from Tenant, execute and deliver to Tenant or any proposed assignee, grantee, mortgagee, trustee or lender of Tenant, as applicable, the Form of Ground Lessor Estoppel Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit B and made a part hereof. Additionally, Landlord shall, within fifteen (15) days after written request from Tenant, execute and deliver to Tenant and any proposed mortgagee, trustee or lender of Tenant, as applicable, the Form of Ground Lessor Estoppel and Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C and made a part hereof." 5. CONDITIONAL ASSIGNMENT OF RENTALS. Landlord hereby confirms, acknowledges and agrees that the conditional assignment of rents, income and profits contained in Section 15.01 of the Lease (a) relates only to rents, income and/or profits received by Tenant exclusively in connection with the operation and rental of the Leased Premises (and not of any other portion of the shopping center of which the Leased Premises may be a part, including, without limitation, the portion of the shopping center currently leased by Shaw's Supermarkets, Inc.), and (b) does not constitute an assignment or pledge of any rents, income or profits relating to Tenant's ownership, operation, management, leasing or rental of any property other than the Leased Premises. 6. BROKERS. Landlord and Tenant each represent and warrant to the other that they have not dealt with any brokers in connection with this First Amendment. Landlord and Tenant each agree to defend, indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any and all claims by any broker or for fees, commissions or other compensation to the extent such broker alleges to have been retained by the indemnifying party in connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery of this First Amendment. The provisions of this Section 6 shall survive the expiration or other termination of the Amended Lease. 7. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this First Amendment or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is or shall be deemed illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this First Amendment shall remain in full force and effect and this First Amendment shall be interpreted as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision did not exist. 8. FULL FORCE AND EFFECT; BINDING EFFECT. Except to the extent expressly stated or modified in this First Amendment, all other terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of the Lease 5 shall remain and continue in full force and effect as originally written and shall apply to this First Amendment as if set forth in their entirety herein. Each provision of the Amended Lease, including this First Amendment, shall extend to and shall bind and inure to the benefit of Landlord and Tenant and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns. 9. TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence of this First Amendment. 10. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This First Amendment and the Lease contain the entire agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to Tenant's leasing of the Leased Premises. 11. COUNTERPARTS. This First Amendment may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original copy hereof, but all of which shall constitute but one and the same agreement.

Accordingly, Purchaser and its respective lenders, successors, assigns and successor owners of the Property may rely on such statements for that purpose. The undersigned ("Ground Lessor"), being the legal successor in interest to the original lessor under the Lease covering the Property, hereby certifies, represents, warrants, covenants and agrees as follows: 1. Ground Lessor is the lessor under a lease with _____________("Lessee") dated August 15, 1994 (the "Lease"). The Lease demises to Lessee the exclusive use of the Property. The initial term of the Lease commenced on or about January 1, 1995, and will expire on December 31, 2093. There have been no amendments, modifications, revisions or supplements to the Lease, and there are no other agreements of any kind between Ground Lessor and Lessee regarding the Property. Ground Lessor has not assigned or transferred its right, title and interest in, to and under the Lease or the Property. 2. The Lease has been duly authorized and executed by Ground Lessor's predecessor-in-interest, is binding upon and enforceable against Ground Lessor, and is in good standing and in full force and effect. Attached is a true, correct and complete copy of the Lease. 3. Ground Lessor hereby consents to the assignment of Lessee's interest in, to and under the Lease to Purchaser. Ground Lessor, for itself, its successors and assigns, hereby confirms that (a) it has no right to consent to or approve of, or to require any third party to consent to or approve of, the renovation, remodelling, rebuilding, maintenance and repair of any of the improvements and other structures located upon the Property, and (b) until the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Ground Lessor has no right, title or interest in or to any improvements or other structures located on the Property. 4. Lessee is currently obligated to pay rent under the Lease in the annual amount of _____________ Dollars ($_______), payable, in advance, on the first day of March of each calendar year. All rent has been paid under the Lease through ______________. No rent under the Lease has been paid more than (1) year in advance, and no other sums have been deposited with Landlord as security under the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lease provides for the assignment of a whole life insurance policy on the life of John D. Scarritt, with a death benefit of $250,000.00, which policy was heretofore delivered from Lessee to Ground Lessor and the income or dividends of the policy will serve to pay directly, all or as the case may be, a portion of the rental due from the twenty-first year through the ninety-ninth year of the Lease, all as provided in the Lease. Ground Lessor has no claims or defenses to the enforcement of the Lease by Lessee. Ground Lessor has not rebated, reduced or waived any amounts due from Lessee under the Lease. Ground Lessor confirms that Ground Lessor, and not Lessee, is responsible for the payment of any and all general and/or special real estate, ad valorem and other taxes and assessments attributable to or levied or assessed against the Property. 5. Neither Ground Lessor nor Lessee is in default under the Lease beyond any applicable cure period and no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, could result in such default. As of the date of this estoppel certificate, there is no dispute between Ground Lessor and Lessee, and there is no litigation between Ground Lessor and Lessee with respect to the Lease or the Property. Ground Lessor has not received any notice of any present violation of any federal, state, county or municipal laws, regulations, ordinances, order or directives relating to use, operation or condition of the Property. The Property is assessed as a separate parcel for real estate tax purposes. 6. All obligations and conditions under the Lease to be performed to date by Ground Lessor and Lessee have been satisfied, free of defenses and set-offs, including all construction work at the Property. 7. If so requested by Purchaser, Ground Lessor shall send to any lender of Purchaser copies of all notices sent by Ground Lessor under and pursuant to the Lease. 8. Ground Lessor has not received any notice of a prior sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or other hypothecation of Lessee's interest in the Lease. Ground Lessor has not (a) applied for the appointment of, or the taking of possession by, a receiver, custodian, trustee or liquidator of itself or of all or a substantial part of the Property, (b) admitted in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due, (c) made a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, (d) filed a voluntary petition or commenced a voluntary case or proceeding under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, (e) been adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, (f) filed a petition seeking to take advantage of any other law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, winding-up or composition or adjustment of debts, (g) received any notice of any petition filed against it in an involuntary case or proceeding under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, or (h) taken any corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing. 12 EXECUTED as of the _____ day of __________________, 20__.
