Acquiror shall have the right to review such written statement and shall notify Seller of any objection thereto within three (3) Business Days after the receipt thereof. Seller and Acquiror shall negotiate in good faith to attempt to resolve any such objection made by Acquiror, provided that if such parties are unable to agree upon a reasonably detailed calculation of such apportionments at least five (5) Business Days prior to the applicable Closing Date, such dispute shall be resolved by a nationally recognized accounting firm reasonably acceptable to each of Seller and Acquiror. If Acquiror does not notify Seller of any such objection within such three (3) Business Day period, Acquiror shall be deemed to have agreed with the apportionments specified in Seller's written statement. If, after the applicable Closing, an error or omission in the calculation of the apportionments set forth above is found by one of the parties, such error or omission shall be promptly corrected and the party receiving the over-payment shall pay the amount of the over-payment to the party 4 entitled thereto. The foregoing obligation to correct apportionments shall survive the applicable Closing for a period of one-hundred eighty (180) days.

(d) Acquiror shall purchase the Non-ALSF Shares subject to the obligations set forth in Schedule 2.04(d) hereof (the "Specified Liabilities"), which Specified Liabilities shall not be deemed Excluded Liabilities. At least three (3) Business Days prior to the First Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Acquiror payoff statements or other evidence satisfactory to Acquiror as to the amount of the Specified Liabilities at the First Closing (the aggregate amount of such Specified Liabilities being hereinafter referred to as the "Pay-off Amount"), provided, that for purposes of the last two sentences of Section 2.03, neither the Final Purchase Price, the Allocable Portion nor the initial Lease Basis (as defined in the form of Property Lease) shall be deemed reduced by any adjustments to the cash portion of the Non-ALSF Purchase Price made pursuant to this Section 2.04(d). Acquiror shall cause the applicable Company to pay the Specified Liabilities at the First Closing. Section 2.05. Due Diligence Deposit; Purchase Price Deposit. (a) Prior to the execution of the Original Purchase Agreement, Seller advanced to Acquiror a due diligence deposit in the amount of $125,000 (the "Due Diligence Deposit") to be used by Acquiror to pay any reasonable and documented costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred by Acquiror, its contractors and consultants in connection with Acquiror's due diligence review of the Real Property Assets, the Seller and the Companies (the "Due Diligence Review"). If the First Closing is not consummated for any reason other than Seller's failure to perform its respective obligations hereunder, then within ten (10) Business Days after the termination of this Agreement, Acquiror shall repay to Seller the Due Diligence Deposit, less any Transaction Costs incurred by Acquiror in connection with the Due Diligence Review. If Seller fails to perform its respective obligations hereunder, then Acquiror shall not be obligated to return to Seller any portion of the Due Diligence Deposit. If the First Closing is consummated, then Seller shall be entitled to set-off as of the First Closing Date the Due Diligence Deposit against the Transaction Costs for which Seller is responsible under this Agreement that have been incurred by Acquiror. (b) Upon the consummation of the Private Placement, Acquiror shall advance or cause to be advanced to Seller cash in an amount equal to $22,500,000 as a good faith, refundable deposit to be applied at the First Closing against the Non-ALSF Purchase Price (the "Purchase Price Deposit"). If, prior to the First Closing, Seller or its Affiliates sell or otherwise dispose of any Acquiror Securities acquired by Seller on the date of the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement (such shares so sold or disposed, "Disposed Securities"), then cash in the amount of the gross proceeds of such sale or disposition (but not exceeding the initial purchase price paid by Seller and its Affiliates for such Disposed Securities) shall be remitted to Acquiror 5 promptly after such sale or disposition and the Purchase Price Deposit shall be reduced by a corresponding amount. If the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are terminated for any reason prior to the First Closing, Seller shall concurrently with such termination refund to Acquiror the balance of the Purchase Price Deposit; provided, however, that Seller's obligation to refund the balance of the Purchase Price Deposit may (at Seller's option) be satisfied in full upon delivery to Acquiror of (x) any Acquiror Securities acquired by Seller on the date of the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement which are then held by Seller and its Affiliates and (y) cash equal to (A) the sum of (i) any gross proceeds not remitted to Acquiror as provided above in respect of Disposed Securities and (ii) the amount, if any, by which the aggregate initial purchase price paid by Seller and its Affiliates for Disposed Securities exceeds the aggregate gross proceeds received by Seller and its Affiliates for Disposed Securities, less (B) dividends or distributions, if any, declared on the Acquiror Securities delivered to Acquiror in accordance with clause (x) above, and Acquiror shall have no other recourse against Seller with respect to its obligation to refund the Purchase Price Deposit.

Section 2.08. Property Due Diligence. (a) Promptly following the execution of the Original Stock Purchase Agreement, Acquiror shall deliver to Seller a due diligence document request and checklist (which may be supplemented from time to time during the Review Period) identifying the materials requested to be reviewed by Acquiror in connection with the Due Diligence Review. Not later than fifteen (15) days after the date of the Original 7 Stock Purchase Agreement, Seller shall cause the Companies to make available to Acquiror, its attorneys, accountants and other professional and consultants, copies of all books, records, documents, reports, analyses, assessments and other written material relating to each of the Real Property Assets, including all title insurance policies, surveys, engineering and environmental reports, operating and capital statements, rent rolls and all other due diligence materials reasonably requested by Acquiror in connection with the Due Diligence Review. (b) Acquiror shall have a period (the "Review Period") of sixty (60) days from the date of the Original Stock Purchase Agreement (the expiration date of such period being hereinafter referred to as the "Due Diligence Expiration Date") to complete the Due Diligence Review (including obtaining and reviewing title commitments or title bring-downs and engineering reports, environmental reports and surveys relating to the Real Property Assets). If Acquiror, in its reasonable discretion, determines that any material matter relating to any of the Real Property Assets (including leases, historical and projected financial statements and information, operating and capital statements, title, real estate tax information, billings and collections, operating and real estate tax pass-through escalation calculations, survey, engineering, fitness and quality, physical condition, environmental condition, financial condition of one or more of the tenants, value and profitability, current or potential uses, current or future zoning or suitability for renovation or construction) is not acceptable to Acquiror and that it does not wish to proceed with its acquisition of such Real Property Asset, then Acquiror may, by written notice to Seller before 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Due Diligence Expiration Date (time being of the essence), terminate the Original Stock Purchase Agreement in its entirety, whereupon the Original Stock Purchase Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect as provided in Article VII. If Acquiror does not elect to terminate the Original Stock Purchase Agreement prior to the time set forth above, Acquiror's right to terminate the Original Stock Purchase Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.08(b) shall expire and be of no further force and effect. (c) Seller shall use reasonable commercial efforts during the Review Period to permit Acquiror and its Representatives, upon prior reasonable notice to Seller, and during normal business hours, to access each of the Real Property Assets for the purpose of inspecting the Real Property Assets. Seller agrees that any environmental investigation undertaken by Acquiror may include invasive sampling of soil, groundwater, or parts of buildings or structures, on any Real Property Asset occupied by or otherwise affiliated with the Companies without Seller's prior written consent; provided, however, that Acquiror shall give Seller not less than twenty-four (24) hours' prior notice thereof (which notice shall include the identity of the Representatives of Acquiror that will perform such inspections and the proposed scope thereof) and Seller or its respective Representatives shall have the right to be present during such inspections. Acquiror shall use reasonable commercial efforts not to interfere in any material respect with Seller's use or operation of the Real Property Assets during such inspections. If Acquiror takes, or causes to be taken, any sample from a Real Property Asset in connection with the foregoing, Acquiror shall, upon the request of Seller, provide to Seller a portion of such sample to allow Seller, if it so chooses, to perform its own testing. If Acquiror performs environmental sampling, Acquiror shall have Acquiror's environmental consultant carry and maintain in force, at its expense, at all times during the performance of such sampling, general liability insurance in the minimum amount of $1 million combined single limit for injury to or death of one or more persons per occurrence and for damage to property per occurrence. 8 Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, Acquiror shall not, and shall cause its environmental consultant not to, contact or communicate with any Governmental Authority regarding any Hazardous Materials on any Real Property Asset, or the environmental condition of any Real Property Asset, unless required by Law; provided, however, that such restriction shall not apply following each Closing. Section 2.09. Capital Expenditure Reserves. (a) The Base Purchase Price was agreed upon between Seller and Acquiror on the assumption that none of the Real Property Assets is in need of significant deferred maintenance expenditures, and that the annual capital expenditure requirement of $400 per unit, which will be set forth in and calculated pursuant to the Agreement Regarding Leases, is sufficient to provide for anticipated future capital expenditures to maintain each of the Real Property Assets in their current condition. If, during the course of the Due Diligence Review in respect of any Real Property Asset, Acquiror determines, pursuant to third party reports received by Acquiror (each, an "Acquiror Cap Ex Report"), that the anticipated costs to perform deferred maintenance and previously unidentified future capital expenditures reasonably necessary to be performed during the twelve (12) month period following each Closing Date will exceed the amount of the capital expenditure requirement for such period as set forth in and calculated pursuant to the form of Agreement Regarding Leases (the amount of such excess, with reference to any Real Property Asset, being hereinafter referred to as the "Cap Ex Reserve Shortfall"), then Acquiror shall provide to Seller not later than five (5) Business Days after the Due Diligence Expiration Date a written statement specifying the Cap Ex Reserve Shortfall, if any, for each of the Real Property Assets, including copies of all Acquiror Cap Ex Reports supporting such determination. Acquiror shall provide copies of each Acquiror Cap Ex Report as promptly as practicable after such report shall have been received by Acquiror. If Acquiror does not timely notify Seller of any Cap Ex Reserve Shortfall in respect of a Real Property Asset as provided above, Acquiror shall be deemed to have agreed that the amount of the Cap Ex Reserve Shortfall in respect of such Real Property Asset is zero. (b) For a period of ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of the statement delivered by Acquiror in accordance with Section 2.09(a), Seller shall have the right to review the statement and to obtain its own third party reports relating to any specified Cap Ex Reserve Shortfall (each such report, a "Seller Cap Ex Report"). Seller shall provide copies of each Seller Cap Ex Report as promptly as practicable after such report shall have been received by Seller. If Seller objects to any Cap Ex Reserve Shortfall specified in Acquiror's statement in respect of any Real Property Asset and determines, pursuant to a Seller Cap Ex Report, that the amount of such Cap Ex Reserve Shortfall is overstated by more than five percent (5%), then Seller shall provide to Acquiror not later than five (5) Business Days after the expiration of such review period a written statement specifying the amount of such overstatement for each of the Real Property Assets, including copies of all Seller Cap Ex Reports supporting such determination. If Seller does not notify Acquiror in writing of any objection within such review period, Seller shall be deemed to have agreed to the amount of each Cap Ex Reserve Shortfall specified in Acquiror's statement. (c) Seller and Acquiror shall negotiate in good faith to attempt to resolve any such objection that is timely made by Seller, provided that if such parties are unable to agree upon the amount of the Cap Ex Reserve Shortfall for any Real Property Asset within ten (10) 9 Business Days after the date of the written statement sent by Seller specifying an overstatement, Seller and Acquiror shall cause the preparers of the applicable Acquiror Cap Ex Report and the applicable Seller Cap Ex Report to select an independent third party to provide a capital expenditure report for such Real Property Asset and the amount of the Cap Ex Reserve Shortfall specified in such independent report shall be final and binding on Acquiror and Seller for the purposes of this Section 2.09. The fees and expenses of any such independent third party shall be a Transaction Cost. (d) Upon Seller and Acquiror having agreed or deemed to have agreed upon the amount of the Cap Ex Reserve Shortfall (or such amount having been determined in accordance with Section 2.09(c)), Seller may, at its sole option: (i) decrease the Base Purchase Price by the amount of the Cap Ex Reserve Shortfall so agreed or determined; (ii) deposit into escrow (with a third party mutually acceptable to Seller and Acquiror pursuant to escrow instructions in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Seller and Acquiror) on each Closing Date the amount of the Cap Ex Reserve Shortfall so agreed or determined for disbursement to Acquiror (and its Affiliates) from time to time after the applicable Closing Date to pay for the deferred maintenance and capital items specifically identified in the applicable third party reports; or (iii) direct Acquiror to perform (or to cause third parties to perform) the deferred maintenance work and the capital items specifically identified in the applicable third party reports, in which case the Allocable Portions of the applicable Acquired Real Property Assets shall be increased in the aggregate by the aggregate amount of the Cap Ex Reserve Shortfall so agreed or determined (such increase to be allocated by Acquiror among the applicable Acquired Real Property Assets in such manner as Acquiror shall reasonably determine). Section 2.10. New Title Policies; New Surveys. During the Review Period, Acquiror shall have the opportunity to review the existing owner's title insurance policies and surveys of the Real Property Assets. If, upon such review, Acquiror shall reasonably determine that the existing owner's title insurance policy for any Real Property Asset is insufficient to protect the interests of Acquiror with respect to such Real Property Asset and Acquiror delivers notice thereof to Seller on or before the Due Diligence Expiration Date specifying the applicable Real Property Asset and identifying the interests of Acquiror that are not protected, Seller shall, at its option and at its sole cost and expense, cause either (a) the title insurance company that issued the existing owner's title insurance policy for the applicable Real Property Asset to issue to Acquiror, on each Closing Date, relevant endorsements to such existing title insurance policies in order to adequately protect the interests of Acquiror, including a non-imputation endorsement, or (b) a title insurance company reasonably selected by Seller to provide to Acquiror on the applicable Closing Date an owner's title insurance policy (or in the case of a New York-style closing, a marked title insurance commitment representing such title insurance policy) covering title to the applicable Real Property Asset in an amount approximating the fair market value thereof (in either case, a "New Title Policy"). Similarly, if Acquiror shall reasonably determine that the existing survey for any Real Property Asset is insufficient to protect the interests of Acquiror with respect to such Real Property Asset and Acquiror delivers notice thereof to Seller on or before the Due Diligence Expiration Date specifying the applicable Real Property Asset and identifying the interests of Acquiror that are not protected, Seller shall, at its sole cost and expense, deliver to Acquiror, on or before each Closing Date, a survey of the applicable Real Property Asset performed by a surveyor licensed in the state in which such asset is located and certified to Acquiror as having been prepared in accordance with 1999 minimum standard details 10 for a land survey jointly adopted by ALTA/ACSM (a "New Survey"). If Acquiror shall fail to deliver any written notice to Seller contemplated by this Section 2.10 with respect to any Real Property Asset on or before the Due Diligence Expiration Date, Acquiror shall be deemed to have waived its right to request a New Title Policy or New Survey with respect to such Real Property Asset. Section 2.11. Real Property Matters to which Real Property May Be Subject. At the First Closing, the Companies shall each own good and valid insurable fee title to the Acquired Real Property Assets, free and clear of any and all Liens other than Permitted Liens. At the Second Closing, ALS Financing shall own good and valid insurable fee title to the ALSF Assets, free and clear of any and all Liens other than Permitted Liens Section 2.12.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, Acquiror shall not be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Seller Indemnified Party against, or reimburse any Seller Indemnified Party for, any Losses pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(i) (other than Losses arising out of, resulting from, relating to or in connection with the inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller in Section 4.01, 4.02, or 4.08, as to which this Section 8.02(b) shall not apply) (i) with respect to any claim (or series of related claims arising from the same underlying facts, events or circumstances), unless such claim (or series of related claims arising from the same underlying facts, events or circumstances) involves Losses in excess of $25,000 and (ii) until the aggregate amount of all Losses of the Seller Indemnified Parties exceeds $650,000, after which Acquiror shall be liable for all Losses of the Seller Indemnified Parties, including such $650,000. The cumulative aggregate indemnification obligation of the Acquiror under Sections 8.02(a)(i) and 8.02(a)(iii) shall in no event exceed $25,000,000 in the aggregate. (c) For purposes of this Article VIII and for purposes of determining whether Seller Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification from Acquiror pursuant to Sections 8.02(a)(i) and 8.02(b), any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty (other than any representation or warranty contained in the last sentence of Section 4.07 as to which this Section 8.02(c) shall not apply) of Acquiror shall be determined without regard to any materiality qualifications set forth in such representation or warranty, and all references to the terms "material," "materially," "materiality," or any similar terms shall be ignored for purposes of determining whether such representation or warranty was true and correct when made or deemed made. Section 8.03. Notification of Third Party Claims. (a) A Person that may be entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement (the "Indemnified Party"), shall promptly notify the party or parties liable for such indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") in writing of any pending or threatened claim or demand by a third party that the Indemnified Party has determined has given or could reasonably give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement (including a pending or threatened claim or demand asserted by a third party against the Indemnified Party, such claim being a "Third Party Claim"), describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim or demand; provided, 44 however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VIII except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure, it being understood that (i) notices for claims in respect of an inaccuracy or breach of a representation or warranty must be delivered prior to the expiration of any applicable survival period specified in Section 10.01 for such representation or warranty and (ii) notices for claims in respect of a breach or failure to perform any covenant or agreement must be delivered prior to the date that is six months after the last day of the effective period of such covenant or agreement; provided, further, that if, prior to such applicable date, a party hereto shall have notified the other party hereto in writing of a claim for indemnification under this Article VIII (whether or not formal legal action shall have been commenced based upon such claim), such claim shall continue to be subject to indemnification in accordance with this Article VIII notwithstanding the passing of such applicable date. (b) Upon receipt of a notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 8.03(a), and subject to Section 8.03(e), the Indemnifying Party may, by notice to the Indemnified Party delivered within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt of notice of such claim, assume the defense and control of any Third Party Claim but shall allow the Indemnified Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense. The Indemnified Party may take any actions reasonably necessary to defend such Third Party Claim prior to the time that it receives a notice from the Indemnifying Party as contemplated by the preceding sentence. The Indemnifying Party shall select counsel, contractors and consultants of recognized standing and competence. To the extent the principal remedy sought in any Third Party Claim is equitable relief, the Indemnifying Party shall consult with the Indemnified Party as to the selection of counsel to defend such Third Party Claim. Seller or Acquiror, as the case may be, shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates and Representatives to, cooperate in good faith with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall not be authorized to consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim, without the consent of any Indemnified Party, provided that the Indemnified Party shall not withhold its consent if such settlement or judgment involves solely the payment of money without any finding or admission of any violation of Law or admission of any wrongdoing and the Indemnifying Party shall (i) pay or cause to be paid all amounts arising out of such settlement or judgment concurrently with the effectiveness of such settlement and (ii) obtain, as a condition of any settlement or judgment, a complete and unconditional release of each relevant Indemnified Party from any and all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim. (c) If any Indemnifying Party receives a notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 8.03(a) that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days following its receipt of such notice, whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party under this Article VIII. If the Indemnifying Party does not so notify the Indemnified Party that it disputes such liability, the claim specified by the Indemnified Party in such notice shall be conclusively deemed to be a liability of the Indemnifying Party under this Article VIII, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.01(b), if applicable, the amount of such liability to the Indemnified Party on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the claim (or any portion of the claim) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such claim (or such portion of such claim) becomes finally determined. If the 45 Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such claim as provided above, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 10.11. (d) If an Indemnified Party determines in good faith that it is reasonably likely that a Third Party Claim would materially adversely affect it other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (including with respect to remediation of any environmental matters), the Indemnified Party may, by notice to the Indemnifying Party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense, provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party will not be bound by any determination of a Third Party Claim so defended or any compromise or settlement effected without its written consent. (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Indemnifying Party shall have any liability under this Article VIII for any Losses arising out of or relating to any Third Party Claim that is settled or compromised by an Indemnified Party without the consent of such Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Section 8.04. Payment; Interest on Payment. In the event an Action for indemnification under this Article VIII shall have been finally determined, the amount of such final determination shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, on demand in immediately available funds. An Action and the liability for and amount of Losses, shall be deemed to be "finally determined" for purposes of this Article VIII when the parties to such Action have so determined by mutual agreement or, if disputed, when a final non-appealable Governmental Order with respect thereto shall have been entered. Any amounts not paid when due pursuant to this Article VIII shall bear interest from the date thereof until the date paid at a rate equal to the rate publicly announced from time to time by Citibank, N.A. as its prime or base rate. Nothing in this Section 8.04 shall operate to bar an Indemnified Party from seeking and (where appropriate) obtaining interest on any claim to the extent ordered by a court adjudicating any Action brought by the Indemnified Party against an Indemnifying Party. Section 8.05. Exclusive Remedies. Each of Seller and Acquiror acknowledges and agrees that, (a) prior to the First Closing or the Second Closing, as applicable, other than in the case of actual fraud by the other, the sole and exclusive remedy of such party for any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement to be made at such Closing shall be refusal to close the purchase and sale of Shares to be acquired at such Closing and (b) following the First Closing or the Second Closing, as applicable, other than in the case of actual fraud by the other or any of its respective Affiliates or Representatives, the indemnification provisions of this Article VIII and, with respect to Taxes, the Tax Matters Agreement, shall be the sole and exclusive remedies for any inaccuracy of the representations or warranties contained in this Agreement to be made at such Closing and for any failure to perform or comply with any covenants or agreements that, by their terms, were to have been performed or complied with prior to such Closing. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Indemnifying Party shall have any liability under this Agreement for Losses related to Taxes, which Losses shall be governed exclusively by the Tax Matters Agreement. 46 Section 8.06. Additional Indemnification Provisions. (a) Seller and Acquiror agree, for themselves and on behalf of their respective Affiliates and Representatives, that, with respect to each indemnification obligation in this Agreement, (i) all Losses shall be net of any Eligible Insurance Proceeds (as set forth in subsection (e) below) and (ii) in no event shall the Indemnifying Party have liability to the Indemnified Party for any punitive, incidental, special, indirect or consequential damages, except to the extent that the Indemnified Party pays punitive, incidental, special, indirect or consequential damages to a third party in respect of a Third Party Claim. (b) Any amount payable by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article VIII shall be paid promptly and payment shall not be delayed pending any determination of Eligible Insurance Proceeds or Retained Insurance Proceeds. In any case where an Indemnified Party recovers from a third Person, any amount in respect of any Loss for which such Indemnified Party has actually been reimbursed by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article VIII (other than Retained Insurance Proceeds), such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Indemnifying Party the amount so recovered (after deducting therefrom the amount of expenses incurred by it in procuring such recovery), but not in excess of the sum of (i) any amount previously paid by the Indemnifying Party to or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in respect of such Loss and (ii) any amount expended by the Indemnifying Party in pursuing or defending any claim arising out of such matter. (c) Seller and Acquiror shall treat any indemnification payment made under this Agreement as an adjustment to the Final Purchase Price. (d) All payments required to be made by an Indemnifying Party under this Article VIII to any Indemnified Party shall be without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. (e) If any portion of Losses to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party may be covered, in whole or in part, by third-party insurance coverage (each, an "Insurance Policy"), the Indemnified Party shall promptly give notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (a "Notice of Insurance"). If the Indemnifying Party so requests within 30 days after receipt of a Notice of Insurance, the Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to collect the maximum amount of insurance proceeds thereunder, in which event (i) all such proceeds actually received, net of costs reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party in seeking such collection, shall be considered "Eligible Insurance Proceeds" and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all reasonable costs incurred in connection with such collection and the amount of any prospective or retroactive increase in premiums actually paid by the Indemnified Party under the Insurance Policy (as such increased premiums are incurred) directly related to the payment of Eligible Insurance Proceeds for such Loss for three years following the next renewal of such Insurance Policy. If the Indemnifying Party does not request that the Indemnified Party seek coverage of any portion of such Loss under the Insurance Policy within 30 days after receipt of a Notice of Insurance, (i) any proceeds that the Indemnified Party may receive thereunder shall be considered "Retained Insurance Proceeds" and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have no liability for any premium increases thereunder relating to the collection of such Retained Insurance Proceeds. 47 (f) If the indemnification provided for in Subsections 8.01(a)(i) and 8.02(a)(i) with respect to Losses relating to any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in Sections 3.26 and 4.09 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Acquiror Indemnified Parties, on the one hand, and the Seller Indemnified Parties, on the other hand, from the sale of the shares of common stock of Acquiror in the Private Placement and the use of the proceeds of the Private Placement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable Law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of Acquiror Indemnified Parties, on the one hand, and the Seller Indemnified Parties, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Companies, Seller or Acquiror and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VIII, to the extent that the Indemnified Party or an Affiliate realizes an actual Tax benefit as a result of the event giving rise to the indemnity payment hereunder (such as, by way of example but not limitation, a Tax savings resulting from the payment of an indemnified amount that is deductible by the Indemnified Party, in a case in which the indemnity payment itself does not give rise to gross income for Tax purposes), the Indemnified Party shall promptly rebate to the Indemnifying Party the amount of such Tax benefit. Section 8.07. Mitigation of Losses. Each of the parties agrees to take all reasonable steps to mitigate their respective Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition which would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses that are indemnifiable hereunder. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for Losses hereunder to the extent that such Losses resulted solely from the Indemnified Party's failure to mitigate its Losses in accordance with the preceding sentence. Section 8.08. No Recourse to Controlling Persons of Seller. Each of Acquiror and its respective existing and future Affiliates (collectively, the "Releasing Parties") does hereby absolutely release and discharge, effective as of each Closing, each of (i) FEBC-ALT Investors LLC, Emeritus Corporation, NW Select LLC, their respective existing and future Affiliates (other than Seller and its Subsidiaries) and their respective existing and future officers and directors and (ii) the existing and future officers and directors of Seller and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the "Releasees") from any and all Losses which any of the Releasing Parties ever had or now has or have or hereafter can, shall or may have, for, upon or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever to the extent arising from, in connection with, related to or as a result of (a) the matters addressed in this Agreement with respect to such Closing and the other Transaction Agreements applicable to such Closing, (b) the Private Placement and (c) any action or inaction of any of the Releasees relating to or associated with the foregoing, in each case, relating to any period from the beginning of the world to the end of time, regardless of when brought; provided, however, such release and discharge shall not release or discharge (i) any 48 Releasee from any Losses to the extent arising from, in connection with, related to or as a result of any fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct by or on behalf such Releasee and (ii) the Selling Parties and their respective successors and assigns from any of their respective obligations under the Transaction Agreements, including the obligations of Seller under this Article VIII. ARTICLE IX CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION OF THE REAL PROPERTY Section 9.01. Casualty. (a) If, on or prior to the Closing with respect to a Real Property Asset, all or a "material part" (as defined below) of such Real Property Asset shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty (a "casualty event"), then, in any such event, Acquiror may, at its option, either (i) elect to exclude such Real Property Asset from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whereupon such Real Property Asset shall be deemed to be an Excluded Real Property Asset, the Non-ALSF Purchase Price and the ALSF Purchase Price, as applicable, shall be reduced by the amount of net insurance proceeds actually received, or the amount of insurance proceeds Seller and Acquiror reasonably estimate should be received with respect to such Excluded Real Property Asset and Seller and Acquiror shall be released of all obligations and liabilities of whatsoever nature in connection with such Excluded Real Property Asset (other than Seller's obligations to cause such asset to be transferred or distributed in accordance with Section 5.08 and Seller's indemnification obligations hereunder in respect of Excluded Assets), or (ii) proceed to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in which event all of the provisions of Subsections 9.01(b)(i) and 9.01(b)(ii) below shall apply. If a Real Property Asset is elected to be treated as an Excluded Real Property Asset pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 9.01(a), then Seller shall use all reasonable commercial efforts to cause such Excluded Real Property Asset to be transferred from the applicable Company prior to the applicable Closing Date. If Acquiror shall fail to make an election pursuant to this Section 9.01(a) prior to the earlier of (A) thirty (30) days after Acquiror's receipt of written notice of the applicable casualty event from Seller and (B) the applicable Closing Date, then Acquiror shall be deemed to have made an election pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 9.01(a). (b) If, on or prior to the Closing with respect to a Real Property Asset, less than a material part of such Real Property Asset shall be damaged or destroyed by a casualty event, Acquiror shall nevertheless consummate the transactions contemplated herein pursuant to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement (without any adjustment to the Non-ALSF Purchase Price and the ALSF Purchase Price, as applicable, except as otherwise set forth herein) with respect to such damaged Real Property Asset, subject to the following: (i) Seller shall not (x) adjust and settle any insurance claims with respect to such damaged Real Property Asset, or (y) enter into any construction or other contract for the repair or restoration of such damaged Real Property Asset, in each case, without Acquiror's prior written consent (except no such consent shall be necessary to repair or restore any emergency or hazardous condition at such damaged Real Property Asset), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and (ii) at the applicable Closing, Seller shall (1) pay over to Acquiror the amount of any insurance proceeds, to the extent collected by Seller in connection with such casualty event, less the amount of the actual and reasonable unreimbursed expenses incurred by Seller in connection 49 with collecting such proceeds and making any repairs to the applicable Real Property Asset occasioned by such casualty event pursuant to any contract (provided that such contract was reasonably approved by Acquiror as required by this Section) and (2) assign to Acquiror in form reasonably satisfactory to Acquiror all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to any insurance proceeds that are uncollected at the time of the applicable Closing and that may be paid in respect of such casualty event. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Acquiror in the collection of such proceeds, which obligation shall survive the applicable Closing. To the extent that insurance proceeds are paid over to Acquiror with respect to any damage to an Acquired Real Property Asset pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 9.01(b), Acquiror shall use reasonable commercial efforts to cause such damage to be repaired; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not require Acquiror to expend any funds in excess of such insurance proceeds actually received by Acquiror in respect of such damage pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 9.01(b). For the purpose of this Section, the phrase a "material part" of a Real Property Asset shall mean a portion of such Real Property Asset the cost of repair or restoration of such portion is estimated by a reputable contractor selected by Seller and reasonably satisfactory to Acquiror, to be in excess of five percent (5%) of the Allocable Portion relating to such Real Property Asset. (c) If, prior to a Closing with respect to a Real Property Asset, such Real Property Asset or any portion thereof shall be damaged or destroyed by a casualty event, Seller shall promptly give Acquiror written notice of such event, including information in reasonable detail regarding the extent of the damage to such Real Property Asset or portion thereof. Section 9.02. Condemnation Pending Closing. If, prior to a Closing with respect to a Real Property Asset, condemnation or eminent domain proceedings shall be commenced by any competent public authority against such Real Property Asset or any portion thereof, Seller shall promptly give Acquiror written notice thereof. After notice of the commencement of any such proceedings (from Seller or otherwise) and in the event that the taking of such Real Property Asset pursuant to such proceedings would constitute a "Material Taking" (hereinafter defined), Acquiror shall have the right (i) to accept title to such Real Property Asset subject to such proceedings, whereupon any award payable to Seller shall be paid to Acquiror and Seller shall deliver to Acquiror at the applicable Closing all assignments and other documents reasonably requested by Acquiror to vest such award in Acquiror, or (ii) elect to exclude such Real Property Asset from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whereupon such Real Property Asset shall be deemed to be an Excluded Real Property Asset, the Non-ALSF Purchase Price and the ALSF Purchase Price, as applicable, shall be reduced by the amount of net condemnation awards actually received, or the amount of condemnation awards Seller and Acquiror reasonably estimate should be received with respect to such Excluded Real Property Asset and Seller and Acquiror shall be released of all obligations and liabilities of whatsoever nature in connection with such Excluded Real Property Asset (other than Seller's obligations to cause such asset to be transferred or distributed in accordance with Section 5.08 and Seller's indemnification obligations hereunder in respect of Excluded Assets). For the purposes of Section 9.01(a), a taking shall be deemed to be a "Material Taking" with respect to any Real Property Asset if such taking materially and adversely affects access to such Real Property Asset, or leaves a remaining balance of such Real Property Asset which may not be economically operated for the purpose for which the Real Property Asset was operated prior to 50 such taking, or if in the reasonable estimation of an appraiser selected by Seller, subject to Acquiror's reasonable approval, the taking would result in a claim for condemnation proceeds equal to or in excess of five percent (5%) of the Allocable Portion of the Non-ALSF Purchase Price and the ALSF Purchase Price, as applicable. If a Real Property Asset is elected to be treated as an Excluded Real Property Asset pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 9.01(a), then Seller shall use all reasonable commercial efforts to cause such Excluded Real Property Asset to be transferred from the Company prior to the applicable Closing Date. If Acquiror shall fail to make an election pursuant to this Section 9.02 prior to the earlier of (A) thirty (30) days after Acquiror's receipt of written notice of the applicable proceedings from Seller and (B) the applicable Closing Date or if a taking of any Real Property Asset in any proceedings would not constitute a Material Taking, then Acquiror shall be deemed to have made an election pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 9.02. ARTICLE X GENERAL PROVISIONS Section 10.01. Survival. Notwithstanding the First Closing or the ALSF Closing hereunder, (x) the representations and warranties of Seller and Acquiror contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement or in any certificate furnished pursuant to this Agreement shall survive in full force and effect until the date that is eighteen (18) months after the applicable Closing Date on which such representations and warranties were made, at which time such representations and warranties shall terminate and expire (and no claims shall be made for indemnification under Sections 8.01 or 8.02 after such termination and expiration); provided, however, that (i) the representations and warranties made in the sixth sentence of Section 3.03 shall survive the applicable Closing indefinitely, (ii) the representations and warranties made in Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 (other than the sixth sentence of Section 3.03), 3.13, 3.19, 3.20, 4.01 and 4.02 shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations and (y) the covenants and agreements of Seller and Acquiror contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall survive for the period provided in such covenants and agreements, if any, or until fully performed. Section 10.02. Expenses; Transaction Costs. Except as may be otherwise specified in this Agreement (including the $1,000,000 limitations on certain Transaction Costs as provided in Section 5.05(c)), all Transaction Costs shall be paid by Seller, except that all cost and expenses incurred by the Companies and payable to a third party (x) in connection with obtaining any third-party consent or approval required to be obtained as a condition to any party's obligations under this Agreement or (y) consisting of legal, accounting, consulting, actuarial or other professional fees or disbursements, shall be reimbursed by Seller to the Companies, as applicable, prior to the applicable Closing. No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the applicable Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Acquiror a written notice setting forth the amount of Transaction Costs to be included in the Non-ALSF Purchase Price and the ALSF Purchase Price, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.03, which amount shall increase the Allocable Portions, and be added to the Lease Basis (as defined in the form of Property Leases) under the Property Leases in the manner and amounts designated by Acquiror; provided, however, that the aggregate amount to be included in the Non-ALSF Purchase Price and the ALSF Purchase Price, and added to the Allocable Portions and Lease Basis under this 51 Section 10.02 shall in no event exceed $6,325,000 (the "Maximum Capitalized Amount"). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Seller and any of the Companies relating to Amendment No.1 (the "Amendment Costs") shall be paid by Acquiror in immediately available funds to the Seller at each Closing. No Amendment Costs are deemed to be included in the Non-ALSF Purchase Price, the ALSF Purchase Price or the Final Purchase Price. Section 10.03. Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given or made (and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made upon receipt) by delivery in person, by overnight courier service, by facsimile with receipt confirmed (followed by delivery of an original via overnight courier service) or by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) to the respective parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 10.03): (i) if to Seller: Alterra HealthCare Corporation c/o Fortress Investment Group LLC 1251 Avenue of the Americas, 16th Floor New York, New York 10020 Attention: Mr. Randal A.

Public Announcements. Except as may be required by Law or Applicable Securities Rules, neither of the parties to this Agreement, nor any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives, shall make any public announcements in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior consent of the other parties, and prior to any announcement the parties shall cooperate as to the timing and contents of any such announcement. Prior to each Closing, neither of the parties to this Agreement, nor any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives, shall make any disclosure concerning plans or intentions relating to the customers, agents or employees of, or other Persons with significant business relationships with, the Companies without first obtaining the prior written approval of the other party, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Acquiror is a newly-formed real estate investment trust which is in the process of preparing to implement the Private Placement and, subject to Sections 5.04(a), 5.11 and 5.12, may disclose the transactions contemplated hereunder in offering materials or governmental filings in connection with any securities offerings or as required under Applicable Securities Rules ("REIT Disclosure"), and any such REIT Disclosure shall be permitted to be made by Acquiror and its Representatives regardless of the provisions of this Section 10.04. Section 10.05. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced under any Law or as a matter of public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties to this Agreement shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in 53 order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible. Section 10.06. Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the this Agreement, or as otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the parties, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of Seller and Acquiror and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, between or on behalf of Seller and/or its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Acquiror and/or its Affiliates, on the other hand, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. Section 10.07. Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assigned by any party hereto, except that Acquiror may assign any or all of its rights (but not its obligations) hereunder to one or more Affiliates of Acquiror designated in a written notice delivered by Acquiror to Seller at least three (3) Business Days prior to the applicable Closing; provided, however, that no such assignment by Acquiror shall (x) release Acquiror from any liability or obligation under this Agreement or (y) be permissible if it could reasonably be expected to delay, hinder or jeopardize the consummation of any transactions contemplated by this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by Seller and Acquiror and their permitted successors and assigns. Section 10.08. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Article VIII with respect to Seller Indemnified Parties, Acquiror Indemnified Parties and the Releasees, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their successors and permitted assigns and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. Section 10.09. Amendment. No provision of this Agreement may be amended, waived or modified except by a written instrument signed by all the parties to such agreement. Section 10.10.
