Tufts intends to use a portion of the Farm shown as Parcel F1 on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof (the Property ) in connection with the New Entry Sustainable Farming Project ( New Entry ) and desires to continue to do so, and DLTI has agreed to grant a license to Tufts for such purposes, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. AGREEMENT NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 1. LICENSE. DLTI licenses to Tufts the right to use the Property for agricultural and related purposes only by New Entry. 2. TERM. The term of this agreement shall commence on the date this agreement is executed by the parties and shall end on December 31, 2012, with extensions by mutual agreement of the parties, and this agreement shall terminate upon the expiration thereof, unless sooner terminated as provided herein. DLTI agrees that all of the rights granted to Tufts under this agreement are irrevocable until termination as provided herein. If, at any time during this License, Tufts no longer administers New Entry, or determines that it no longer has any need to use the Property as provided hereunder for this University program, then, in either such case, Tufts may terminate this License early by giving written notice to DLTI within thirty (30) days of such determination. Termination under this Paragraph shall be effective thirty (30) days after it is mailed by Tufts to DLTI. 3. LICENSE FEE. Tufts shall pay an annual License Fee of $300 during the term of this Agreement. DLTI shall pay all taxes (including real estate taxes) assessments (special, betterment or otherwise), levies, fees, and charges, and all other governmental levies, impositions and charges, general and special relating to the Property. 1

2 4. INSURANCE. At all times during the term, Tufts, at its expense, shall maintain worker s compensation insurance with statutory limits covering all of Tufts employees accessing the Property, and shall maintain general liability insurance covering other claims for damage to property or for personal injury, including death, to anyone directly or indirectly engaged or employed by Tufts at the property. DLTI shall also carry similar general liability insurance coverage. General liability limits included as part of such insurance shall be $2,000,000 combined single limit per occurrence with aggregate coverage of $3,000,000 (including excess liability). All policies of insurance required to be carried by Tufts hereunder shall (a) be written by United States Fidelity and Guaranty or such other company reasonably acceptable to DLTI, and (b) not be subject to cancellation or material modification without at least twenty (20) days prior written notice to DLTI. All insurance which is carried by either party with respect to the Property or to any improvements or equipment therein or alterations or improvements thereto, whether or not required, shall include provisions which either designate the other party as one of the insured or deny to the insurer acquisition by subrogation of rights of recovery against the other party to the extent such rights have been waived by the insured party prior to occurrence of loss or injury, insofar as, and to the extent that such provisions may be effective without making it impossible to obtain insurance coverage from responsible companies qualified to do business in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (even though extra premium may result therefrom) and without voiding the insurance coverage in force between the insurer and the insured party. On reasonable request, each party shall be entitled to have duplicates or certificates of policies containing such provisions. Each party, on behalf of itself and its insurers, hereby waives all rights of recovery and subrogation against the other for loss or injury against which the waiving party is protected by insurance containing said provisions (including for negligence, to the extent permitted by M.G.L. Chapter 186, Section 15), reserving, however, any rights with respect to any excess of loss or injury over the amount recovered under such insurance. Tufts will, as often as DLTI may reasonably request, furnish DLTI with insurance company certificates of such insurance. Tufts will not do or permit to be done anything in or about the Property which shall make void or voidable any insurance required to be carried by Tufts hereunder. 5.
