     SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of November 17, 2009, by and among CapitalSource Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CapitalSource”), CHR HUD Borrower LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“CHR HUD Borrower”), CSE Mortgage LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“CSE Mortgage”), CSE SLB LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“CSE SLB”), CSE SNF Holding LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SNF Holding”) and Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Buyer”). Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in Section 13 hereof. CapitalSource, CHR HUD Borrower, CSE Mortgage, CSE SLB, and SNF Holding are collectively referred to herein as the “Sellers.”
R E C I T A L S:
     WHEREAS, CSE Mortgage, CSE SLB and SNF Holding beneficially own 100% of the issued and outstanding equity, membership and similar interests (the “Acquired Company Securities”) of the entities listed on Schedule I hereto (the “Acquired Companies”);
     WHEREAS, each Acquired Company owns, directly or indirectly, the healthcare property or properties identified by the physical address set forth immediately opposite such Acquired Company’s name on Schedule I hereto (the “Acquired Properties”);

     WHEREAS, each HUD Company owns, directly or indirectly, the healthcare property or properties identified by the physical address set forth immediately opposite such HUD Company’s name on Schedule II hereto (the “HUD Properties”);
     WHEREAS, CSE SLB owns 100% of the membership interests (the “Casablanca Units”) of CSE Casablanca Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Casablanca Holdings”), which in turn owns, through various direct and indirect subsidiaries (the “Casablanca Subsidiaries”), the various healthcare properties identified by the physical addresses listed on Schedule III hereto (each a “Casablanca Property” and collectively, the “Casablanca Properties”); and
     WHEREAS, at the Core Portfolio Closing, each of the Sellers, as applicable, desires to sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer desires to purchase from each Seller, as applicable, the Acquired Company Securities owned by such Seller, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement;
     WHEREAS, at the Core Portfolio Closing, CSE SLB desires to sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer desires to purchase from CSE SLB, an option (the “Casablanca Option”) to acquire 100% of the Casablanca Units on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the option agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (“Casablanca Option Agreement”); and

 


 

     WHEREAS, at the HUD Portfolio Closing, each of the Sellers, as applicable, desires to sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer desires to purchase from each Seller, as applicable, the HUD Company Securities owned by such Seller, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, each intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
     SECTION 1. ACQUISITION OF ACQUIRED COMPANY SECURITIES, CASABLANCA OPTION AND HUD COMPANY SECURITIES
     Subject to the terms and conditions of, and on the basis of and in reliance upon the covenants, agreements and representations and warranties set forth in, this Agreement, (i) at the Core Portfolio Closing, Sellers, as applicable, shall sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to the Buyer, and the Buyer shall purchase and acquire from such Sellers, free and clear of all Encumbrances except for Permitted Securities Encumbrances, the Acquired Company Securities and the Casablanca Option, and (ii) at the HUD Portfolio Closing, Sellers, as applicable, shall sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to the Buyer, and the Buyer shall purchase and acquire from such Sellers, free and clear of all Encumbrances except for Permitted Securities Encumbrances, the HUD Company Securities.
     SECTION 2. PURCHASE AND SALE OF ACQUIRED COMPANY SECURITIES AND CASABLANCA OPTION
     2.1 Purchase Price.
          (a) The aggregate purchase price for the Acquired Company Securities and the Casablanca Option payable by the Buyer to Sellers shall be $294,392,470 (the “Base Purchase Price”), consisting of:
               (i) an amount in cash equal to $161,440,791 (the “Cash Consideration”);
               (ii) $50,820,000 (the “Initial Stock Value”), increased or decreased in accordance with Sections 2.1 and 2.2 (such adjusted Initial Stock Value, the “Adjusted Stock Value,” and such adjustments, the “Closing Adjustments”), in the form of a number of shares of Buyer Common Stock (such shares, the “Stock Consideration”) calculated pursuant to Section 2.1(b), of which $25,000,000 of the Stock Consideration shall constitute the consideration for the Casablanca Option;
               (iii) $59,353,561 of Indebtedness of Sellers or the Acquired Companies assumed by the Buyer, which such Indebtedness shall be designated in a certificate delivered from Sellers no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Core Portfolio Closing Date (the “Assumed Indebtedness”); and

2


 

               (iv) a promissory note made by the Buyer to Sellers in the principal amount of $22,778,117 in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-1 (the “Note”).
The Base Purchase Price as adjusted pursuant to this Agreement is referred to as the “Final Purchase Price.” The allocation of the Final Purchase Price among the Acquired Companies agreed to by the Buyer and Sellers is set forth on Schedule 2.1(a) hereto. The Cash Consideration, Stock Consideration and the Note shall be paid to Sellers or their Affiliates as directed by Sellers in a notice delivered no less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Core Portfolio Closing.
          (b) The number of shares of Buyer Common Stock that comprise the Stock Consideration shall equal the Adjusted Stock Value divided by the average VWAP for the five Trading Day period ending with the Trading Day immediately prior to the Core Portfolio Closing Date (the “Core Portfolio Closing Date VWAP”); provided, however, that the Core Portfolio Closing Date VWAP (i) shall equal 110% of the Initial VWAP if the Core Portfolio Closing Date VWAP is greater than 110% of the Initial VWAP and (ii) shall equal 90% of the Initial VWAP if the Core Portfolio Closing Date VWAP is less than 90% of the Initial VWAP. The “Initial VWAP” shall equal $16.93.
          (c) On the Core Portfolio Closing Date, the Initial Stock Value shall be (i) increased, dollar-for-dollar, to the extent the aggregate principal amount of Assumed Indebtedness is less than $59,353,561, or (ii) decreased, dollar-for-dollar, to the extent the aggregate principal amount of Assumed Indebtedness is greater than $59,353,561.
          (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if CapitalSource notifies Buyer at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Core Portfolio Closing Date that CapitalSource reasonably anticipates that, following the various adjustments required pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.2 hereof, the aggregate dollar value of the Stock Consideration (the “Closing Stock Value Amount”) valued at the VWAP as of the day prior to the date such notice is delivered (the “Closing Stock Value”) may be greater than 25% of the sum of (A) the Cash Consideration, plus (B) the Closing Stock Value Amount, plus (C) the amount of the Assumed Indebtedness, plus (D) the principal amount of the Note (the dollar amount of such excess, the “Excess Stock Value”), then the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock comprising the Stock Consideration shall be reduced by an amount that equals the Excess Stock Value divided by the Closing Stock Value, and the Excess Stock Value shall be paid by the Buyer to Sellers in the form of a new promissory note made by the Buyer to Sellers in the principal amount of such Excess Stock Value (the “Adjustment Note”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-2.
          (e) Tax Treatment of the Purchase and Sale of Acquired Company Securities. Solely for U.S. federal Income Tax purposes, the Buyer and each Seller, as applicable, shall treat the purchase and sale of the Acquired Company Securities as a purchase and sale of each of the Acquired Properties and other assets owned by the Acquired Companies. The purchase price for Income Tax purposes of the Acquired Properties and other assets shall equal the Final Purchase Price (plus any other items constituting consideration for purposes of Section 1060 of the Code), minus the value of the Stock Consideration issued in respect of the Casablanca Option. The allocation of such purchase price to the Acquired Properties and other assets of the Acquired Companies shall be agreed to by the Buyer and Sellers within ninety (90) days after the Core

3


 

Portfolio Closing Date for such Acquired Company Securities. The Buyer and Sellers and each of their respective Affiliates shall take all actions and properly and timely file all Tax Returns (including, but not limited to, IRS Form 8594 (Asset Acquisition Statement) consistent with such allocation). None of the Sellers or the Buyer shall take any position for U.S. federal Income Tax purposes (whether in audits, Tax Returns or otherwise) that is inconsistent with the allocation unless required to do so by applicable Law. In the event that any Tax authority disputes such allocation, Sellers or the Buyer, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the other party of the nature of such dispute.
     2.2 Additional Adjustments and Apportionments.
          (a) Sellers and the Buyer hereby acknowledge and agree that, as of the Core Portfolio Closing Date: (i) certain costs and expenses, including any Taxes (franchise, income or other), relating to the Acquired Companies and the Acquired Properties, (A) may have accrued during and be applicable for the period ending at 12:01 a.m. (New York time) on the Core Portfolio Closing Date (such period, the “Pre-Closing Period”) but will not have been paid by Sellers or the applicable Acquired Company prior to the end of the Pre-Closing Period (such accrued expenses, if any, that are unpaid as of the end of the Pre-Closing Period being hereinafter referred to as “Accrued Expenses”) or (B) will not accrue until, or may be applicable for, the period after 12:01 a.m. (New York time) on the Core Portfolio Closing Date (the “Post-Closing Period”) but will have been paid by Sellers or one or more of the applicable Acquired Companies prior to the beginning of the Post-Closing Period (such unaccrued expenses, if any, that have been prepaid as of the beginning of the Post-Closing Period being hereinafter referred to as “Prepaid Expenses”); and (ii) certain items of income and revenue relating to the Acquired Companies and the Acquired Properties, including, without limitation, rental income (excluding Past Due Rent), (A) may have accrued during or be applicable for the Pre-Closing Period but will not have been paid during the Pre-Closing Period (such accrued income, revenue and other amounts, if any, that are unpaid as of the end of the Pre-Closing Period, the “Accrued Income”) or (B) will not accrue until, or may be applicable for, the Post-Closing Period but will have been paid prior to the Post-Closing Period (such unaccrued income, revenue and other amounts, if any, that have been prepaid as of the beginning of the Post-Closing Period being hereinafter referred to as “Prepaid Income”). Subject to the other provisions herein contained, the Accrued Expenses, Prepaid Expenses, Accrued Income and Prepaid Income shall be apportioned (on the basis of a 365 day year) to Sellers with respect to the Pre-Closing Period and the Buyer with respect to the Post-Closing Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Accrued Income” shall exclude any rent as to which the Tenant is fifteen (15) days or more past due as of the Core Portfolio Closing Date (“Past Due Rent”), and “Accrued Expenses” shall exclude any accrued, but unpaid costs or expenses for which a Tenant is obligated to reimburse any of the Acquired Companies pursuant to the terms of a Property Lease; provided, however, that in the event a Tenant is, as of the Core Portfolio Closing Date, in default of (and all applicable cure periods have expired), or disputing any obligation to pay such costs or expenses, the amount thereof shall be payable by Sellers for purposes of establishing the apportionments contemplated by this Section 2.2(a). Subsequent to the Core Portfolio Closing Date, the Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the terms of the applicable Property Lease and shall remit to Sellers the amount of any such defaulted or disputed costs and expenses together with any Past Due Rent actually collected by the Buyer less all fees and expenses incurred by the Buyer in collecting such monies. In addition to the foregoing, any amounts held by Sellers or

4


 

any of the Acquired Companies as deposits as set forth on Section 4.6(e) of Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule, (excluding any amount set forth on Schedule 2.2(c)), will be paid (if not already held in an account of the Acquired Companies) over to the Buyer on the Core Portfolio Closing Date, or contributed to the Acquired Companies on or prior to the Core Portfolio Closing Date.
          (b) Not later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Core Portfolio Closing Date, Sellers shall prepare and deliver to the Buyer a written statement setting forth, as of the Core Portfolio Closing Date, a reasonably detailed good faith calculation of the Accrued Expenses, Prepaid Expenses, Accrued Income and Prepaid Income for each of the Acquired Companies and Acquired Properties. The Buyer shall have the right to review such written statement and shall notify Sellers of any objection thereto within three (3) Business Days after the receipt thereof. Sellers and the Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to attempt to resolve any objection made by the Buyer, provided that if the parties are unable to agree upon a reasonably detailed calculation of such amounts at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Core Portfolio Closing Date, the Buyer and Sellers shall promptly cause an independent accountant to be mutually agreed upon by the Buyer and Sellers (the “Accountant”), to review this Agreement and the disputed amounts for the purposes of calculating such disputed amounts (it being understood that in making such calculation, the Accountant shall be functioning as an expert and not as an arbitrator). In making such calculation, the Accountant shall consider only those amounts in the Sellers’ calculation of the Accrued Expenses, Prepaid Expenses, Accrued Income and Prepaid Income as to which Buyer has disagreed. The Accountant shall deliver to the Buyer and Sellers, as promptly as practicable, a report setting forth its estimation of each disputed amount. The fees and expenses of any such Accountant shall be shared equally between the Buyer and CapitalSource. If the Buyer does not notify Sellers of any objection within such three Business Day period, the Buyer shall be deemed to have agreed with the apportionments specified in Sellers’ written statement. If, after the Core Portfolio Closing, an error or omission in the calculation of the Accrued Expenses, Prepaid Expenses, Accrued Income or Prepaid Income is found by one of the parties hereto, such error or omission shall be promptly corrected, and the party hereto who received any over-payment as a result thereof shall pay the amount of such over-payment in cash to the party hereto entitled thereto; provided, however, that such obligation to correct apportionments shall only survive the Core Portfolio Closing for a period of 365 days; provided, further, that any disagreement with respect to such calculation shall be resolved pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Section 2.2(b).
          (c) The Initial Stock Value shall be (i) (A) reduced by the excess, if any, of the aggregate amount of Accrued Expenses over the aggregate amount of Prepaid Expenses and (B) increased by the excess, if any, of the aggregate amount of Prepaid Expenses over the aggregate amount of Accrued Expenses, and (ii) (A) reduced by the excess, if any, of the aggregate amount of Prepaid Income over the aggregate amount of Accrued Income and (B) increased by the excess, if any, of the aggregate amount of Accrued Income over the aggregate amount of Prepaid Income, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), as such amounts are mutually agreed or finally resolved in accordance with Section 2.2(b). In addition, the Initial Stock Value shall be increased by the amounts held by third parties as of the Core Portfolio Closing Date with respect to all amounts related to the matters set forth on Schedule 2.2(c) hereof as of the Core Portfolio Closing Date, as set forth in a certificate delivered by Sellers to the Buyer no less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Core Portfolio Closing Date.

     2.3 Payments and Computations.
     All payments to be made under this Agreement by any party hereto shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by the party receiving such payment. All computations of interest with respect to any amounts due from or to either party hereto pursuant to this Agreement will be made on the basis of a year of 365 days, in each case for the actual number of days (excluding the first day, but including the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. All calculations of shares of Buyer Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2 and Section 3 of this Agreement shall (i) be equitably adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reclassification, recombination or the like with respect to the entire class of Buyer Common Stock that occurs between the date of this Agreement and the applicable Closing Date, and (ii) rounded down to the largest whole number of shares.
     SECTION 3. PURCHASE AND SALE OF HUD COMPANY SECURITIES
     3.1 Purchase Price.
          (a) (i) If the New HUD Indebtedness has been obtained and closed on or prior to March 31, 2010, then the aggregate purchase price for the HUD Company Securities payable by the Buyer to Sellers at the HUD Portfolio Closing shall be $270,396,701 (the “Base HUD Portfolio Purchase Price”), consisting of:
          (A) an amount in cash equal to $65,102,704 (the “HUD Portfolio Cash Consideration”);
          (B) $0 (the “Initial HUD Portfolio Stock Value”), increased or decreased in accordance with Sections 3.1 and 3.2 (such adjusted Initial HUD Portfolio Stock Value, the “HUD Portfolio Adjusted Stock Value,” and such adjustments, the “HUD Portfolio Closing Adjustments”), in the form of a number of shares of Buyer Common Stock (such shares, the “HUD Portfolio Stock Consideration”) calculated pursuant to Section 3.1(b); and
          (C) up to $205,293,997 of Indebtedness of Sellers or the HUD Companies assumed by the Buyer, which such Indebtedness shall be designated in a certificate delivered by Sellers no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the HUD Portfolio Closing Date (the “Assumed HUD Portfolio Indebtedness”); and
                     (ii) If the New HUD Indebtedness has not been obtained and closed on or prior to March 31, 2010, then (x) the provisions of Section 3.1(a)(i) above shall not be applicable, (y) notwithstanding anything set forth in Section 3.1(a)(i) above, any terms that are defined both in this Section 3.1(a)(ii) and Section 3.1(a)(i) shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in this Section 3.1(a)(ii) for all purposes of this Agreement, and (z) the aggregate purchase price for the HUD Company Securities payable by the Buyer to Sellers shall be $260,396,701 (the “Base HUD Portfolio Purchase Price”), consisting of:

          (B) $65,099,175 (the “Initial HUD Portfolio Stock Value”), increased or decreased in accordance with Sections 3.1 and 3.2 (such adjusted Initial HUD Portfolio Stock Value, the “Adjusted HUD Portfolio Stock Value,” and such adjustments, the “HUD Portfolio Closing Adjustments”), in the form of a number of shares of Buyer Common Stock (such shares, the “HUD Portfolio Stock Consideration”) calculated pursuant to Section 3.1(b);
          (C) up to $75,687,797 of Indebtedness assumed by the Buyer, which such Indebtedness shall be designated in a certificate delivered by Sellers no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the HUD Portfolio Closing Date (the “Assumed HUD Portfolio Indebtedness”); and
          (D) either (1) a promissory note made by one or more of the HUD Companies (that are not obligated for any Assumed HUD Portfolio Indebtedness) determined pursuant to Section 6.20, to the Sellers in a principal amount of $31,050,520 in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-2 (the “HUD Portfolio Note”), which HUD Portfolio Note shall be guaranteed by the Buyer, or (2) at the election of Sellers upon notice delivered no less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the HUD Portfolio Closing Date, an increase in the Initial HUD Portfolio Stock Value pursuant to (B) above in an amount specified in such notice up to $31,050,520 with a corresponding reduction in the principal amount of the HUD Portfolio Note; provided, however that Sellers may not elect to increase the Initial HUD Portfolio Stock Value in excess of the amount which would result in the issuance of Buyer Common Stock in an amount that when added to the Buyer Common Stock beneficially owned by Sellers as reported on the most recent Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G filed by Sellers or their Affiliates, would result in Sellers or any of their Affiliates beneficially owning more than 9.89% of the Buyer Common Stock upon the HUD Portfolio Closing Date.
The Base HUD Portfolio Purchase Price as adjusted pursuant to this Agreement is referred to as the “HUD Portfolio Final Purchase Price.” The HUD Portfolio Cash Consideration, HUD Portfolio Stock Consideration and the HUD Portfolio Note shall be paid to Sellers or their Affiliates as directed by Sellers in a notice delivered no less than three (3) Business Days prior to the HUD Portfolio Closing.
          (b) The number of shares of Buyer Common Stock that comprise the HUD Portfolio Stock Consideration shall equal the HUD Portfolio Adjusted Stock Value divided by the average VWAP for the five Trading Day period ending with the Trading Day immediately prior to the HUD Portfolio Closing Date (the “HUD Portfolio Closing Date VWAP”); provided, however, that the HUD Portfolio Closing Date VWAP (i) shall equal 110% of the Initial VWAP if the HUD Portfolio Closing Date VWAP is greater than 110% of the Initial VWAP and (ii) shall equal 90% of the Initial VWAP if the HUD Portfolio Closing Date VWAP is less than 90% of the Initial VWAP.
          (c) (i) If the New HUD Indebtedness has been obtained and closed on or prior to March 31, 2010, then on the HUD Portfolio Closing Date, the Initial HUD Portfolio Stock Value shall be (i) increased, dollar-for-dollar, to the extent the aggregate principal amount

7


 

of Assumed HUD Portfolio Indebtedness is less than $205,293,997 or (ii) decreased, dollar-for-dollar, to the extent the aggregate principal amount of Assumed HUD Portfolio Indebtedness is greater than $205,293,997.
               (ii) If the New HUD Indebtedness has not been obtained and closed on or prior to March 31, 2010, then on the HUD Portfolio Closing Date, the Initial HUD Portfolio Stock Value shall be (i) increased, dollar-for-dollar, to the extent the aggregate principal amount of Assumed HUD Portfolio Indebtedness is less than $75,687,797 or (ii) decreased, dollar-for-dollar, to the extent the aggregate principal amount of Assumed HUD Portfolio Indebtedness is greater than $75,687,797.
          (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if CapitalSource notifies Buyer at least two (2) Business Days prior to the HUD Portfolio Closing Date that CapitalSource reasonably anticipates that, following the various adjustments required pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.2 hereof, the aggregate dollar value of the HUD Portfolio Stock Consideration (the “Closing HUD Portfolio Stock Value Amount”) valued at the VWAP as of the day prior to the date such notice is delivered (the “Closing HUD Portfolio Stock Value”) may be greater than 25% of the sum of (A) the HUD Portfolio Cash Consideration, plus (B) the Closing HUD Portfolio Stock Value Amount, plus (C) the amount of the Assumed HUD Portfolio Indebtedness, plus (D) the principal amount of the HUD Portfolio Note (the dollar amount of such excess, the “HUD Portfolio Excess Stock Value”), then the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock comprising the HUD Portfolio Stock Consideration shall be reduced by an amount that equals the Excess Stock Value divided by the Closing HUD Portfolio Stock Value, and the HUD Portfolio Excess Stock Value shall be paid by the Buyer to Sellers in the form of a new promissory note made by the Buyer to Sellers in the principal amount of the HUD Portfolio Excess Stock Value (the “HUD Portfolio Adjustment Note”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-2.
          (e) Tax Treatment of the Purchase and Sale of HUD Company Securities. Solely for U.S. federal Income Tax purposes, the Buyer and each Seller, as applicable, shall treat the purchase and sale of the HUD Company Securities as a purchase and sale of each of the HUD Properties. The purchase price for Income Tax purposes of the HUD Properties and other assets shall equal the HUD Portfolio Final Purchase Price (plus any other items constituting consideration for purposes of Section 1060 of the Code). The allocation of such purchase price to the HUD Properties and other assets of the HUD Companies shall be agreed to by the Buyer and the Sellers within ninety (90) days after the HUD Portfolio Closing Date. The Buyer and Sellers and each of their respective Affiliates shall take all actions and properly and timely file all Tax Returns (including, but not limited to, IRS Form 8594 (Asset Acquisition Statement)) consistent with such allocation. None of the Sellers or the Buyer shall take any position for Income Tax purposes (whether in audits, Tax Returns or otherwise) that is inconsistent with such allocation unless required to do so by applicable Law. In the event that any Tax authority disputes such allocation, Sellers or the Buyer, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the other party of the nature of such dispute.
          (f) If, as of March 31, 2010, Sellers have obtained the New HUD Indebtedness but the various requirements that are conditions precedent to the Buyer’s assumption of such indebtedness (including, without limitation, the Seller Consents) have not been fulfilled, the HUD Portfolio Closing Date shall be automatically extended; provided, that

8


 

such extension shall not effect the rights of the parties to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(a)(i).
     3.2 Additional Adjustments and Apportionments.
          (a) Sellers and the Buyer hereby acknowledge and agree that, as of the HUD Portfolio Closing Date: (i) certain costs and expenses, including any Taxes (franchise, income or other), relating to the HUD Companies and the HUD Properties, (A) may have accrued during and be applicable for the period ending at 12:01 a.m. (New York time) on the HUD Portfolio Closing Date (such period, the “Pre-HUD Portfolio Closing Period”) but will not have been paid by Sellers or the applicable HUD Company prior to the end of the Pre-HUD Portfolio Closing Period (such accrued expenses, if any, that are unpaid as of the end of the Pre-HUD Portfolio Closing Period being hereinafter referred to as “Accrued HUD Portfolio Expenses”) or (B) will not accrue until, or may be applicable for, the period after 12:01 a.m. (New York time) on the HUD Portfolio Closing Date (the “Post-HUD Portfolio Closing Period”) but will have been paid by Sellers or one or more of the applicable HUD Companies prior to the beginning of the Post-HUD Portfolio Closing Period (such unaccrued expenses, if any, that have been prepaid as of the beginning of the Post-HUD Portfolio Closing Period being hereinafter referred to as “Prepaid HUD Portfolio Expenses”); and (ii) certain items of income and revenue relating to the HUD Companies and the HUD Properties, including, without limitation, rental income (excluding Past Due Rent), (A) may have accrued during or be applicable for the Pre-HUD Portfolio Closing Period but will not have been paid during the Pre-HUD Portfolio Closing Period (such accrued income, revenue and other amounts, if any, that are unpaid as of the end of the Pre-HUD Portfolio Closing Period, the “Accrued HUD Portfolio Income”) or (B) will not accrue until, or may be applicable for, the Post-HUD Portfolio Closing Period but will have been paid prior to the Post-HUD Portfolio Closing Period (such unaccrued income, revenue and other amounts, if any, that has been prepaid as of the beginning of the Post-HUD Portfolio Closing Period being hereinafter referred to as “Prepaid HUD Portfolio Income”). Subject to the other provisions herein contained, the Accrued HUD Portfolio Expenses, Prepaid HUD Portfolio Expenses, Accrued HUD Portfolio Income and Prepaid HUD Portfolio Income shall be apportioned (on the basis of a 365 day year) to Sellers with respect to the Pre-HUD Portfolio Closing Period and the Buyer with respect to the Post-HUD Portfolio Closing Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Accrued HUD Portfolio Income” shall exclude any Past Due Rent, and “Accrued HUD Portfolio Expenses” shall exclude any accrued, but unpaid costs or expenses for which a Tenant is obligated to reimburse any of the HUD Companies pursuant to the terms of a Property Lease; provided, however, that in the event a Tenant is, as of the HUD Portfolio Closing Date, in default of (and all applicable cure periods have expired), or disputing any obligation to pay such costs or expenses, the amount thereof shall be payable by Sellers for purposes of establishing the apportionments contemplated by this Section 3.2(a). Subsequent to the HUD Portfolio Closing Date, the Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the terms of the applicable Property Lease and shall remit to Sellers the amount of any such defaulted or disputed costs together with any Past Due Rent actually collected by the Buyer less any fees and expenses incurred by the Buyer in collecting such monies. In addition to the foregoing, any amounts held by Sellers or any of the HUD Companies as deposits as set forth on Section 4.6(e) of Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule (excluding any amount set forth on Schedule 2.2(c)), will be paid (if not already held in an account of the HUD Companies) over to the Buyer on the HUD Portfolio

Closing Date, or contributed to the HUD Companies on or prior to the HUD Portfolio Closing Date.
          (b) Not later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the HUD Portfolio Closing Date, Sellers shall prepare and deliver to the Buyer a written statement setting forth, as of the HUD Portfolio Closing Date, a reasonably detailed good faith calculation of the Accrued HUD Portfolio Expenses, Prepaid HUD Portfolio Expenses, Accrued HUD Portfolio Income and Prepaid HUD Portfolio Income for each of the HUD Companies and HUD Properties. The Buyer shall have the right to review such written statement and shall notify Sellers of any objection thereto within three (3) Business Days after the receipt thereof. Sellers and the Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to attempt to resolve any objection made by the Buyer, provided that if the parties are unable to agree upon a reasonably detailed calculation of such amounts at least five (5) Business Days prior to the HUD Portfolio Closing Date, the Buyer and Sellers shall promptly cause the Accountant to review this Agreement and the disputed amounts for the purposes of calculating such disputed amounts (it being understood that in making such calculation, the Accountant shall be functioning as an expert and not as an arbitrator). In making such calculation, the Accountant shall consider only those amounts in the Sellers’ calculation of the Accrued HUD Portfolio Expenses, Prepaid HUD Portfolio Expenses, Accrued HUD Portfolio Income and Prepaid HUD Portfolio Income as to which Buyer has disagreed. The Accountant shall deliver to the Buyer and Sellers, as promptly as practicable, a report setting forth its estimation of each disputed amount. The fees and expenses of any such Accountant shall be shared equally between the Buyer and CapitalSource. If the Buyer does not notify Sellers of any objection within such three Business Day period, the Buyer shall be deemed to have agreed with the apportionments specified in Sellers’ written statement. If, after the HUD Portfolio Closing, an error or omission in the calculation of the Accrued HUD Portfolio Expenses, Prepaid HUD Portfolio Expenses, Accrued HUD Portfolio Income or Prepaid HUD Portfolio Income is found by one of the parties hereto, such error or omission shall be promptly corrected, and the party hereto who received any over-payment as a result thereof shall pay the amount of such over-payment in cash to the party hereto entitled thereto; provided, however, that such obligation to correct apportionments shall survive only the HUD Portfolio Closing for a period of 365 days; provided, further, that any disagreement with respect to such calculation shall be resolved pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Section 3.2(b).
          (c) The Initial HUD Portfolio Stock Value shall be (i) (A) reduced by the excess, if any, of the aggregate amount of Accrued HUD Portfolio Expenses over the aggregate amount of Prepaid HUD Portfolio Expenses and (B) increased by the excess, if any, of the aggregate amount of Prepaid HUD Portfolio Expenses over the aggregate amount of Accrued HUD Portfolio Expenses, and (ii) (A) reduced by the excess, if any, of the aggregate amount of Prepaid HUD Portfolio Income over the aggregate amount of Accrued HUD Portfolio Income and (B) increased by the excess, if any, of the aggregate amount of Accrued HUD Portfolio Income over the aggregate amount of Prepaid HUD Portfolio Income, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), as such amounts are mutually agreed or finally resolved in accordance with Section 3.2(b). In addition, the Initial HUD Portfolio Stock Value shall be increased by the amounts held by third parties as of the HUD Portfolio Closing Date with respect to all amounts related to the matters set forth on Schedule 2.2(c) hereof as of the HUD Portfolio Closing Date, as set forth in a certificate delivered by Sellers to the Buyer no less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the HUD Portfolio Closing Date.

     3.3 Delta Notes.
     Pursuant to those eleven Property Leases listed on Section 4.6(e) of Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule, where the Tenant is either Delta Health Group, Inc. or Pensacola Health Trust, Inc. (the “Delta Leases”), the Tenant thereunder is obligated to pay percentage rent to the applicable HUD Portfolio Company. It is anticipated that prior to the HUD Portfolio Closing Date, each of the Delta Leases will be amended to remove the requirement that the Tenant pay percentage rent. In the event such lease amendments have not been entered into prior to the HUD Portfolio Closing Date, the Buyer shall collect and remit to the Sellers under the Delta Purchase Agreement all payments required to be made to such Sellers by CHR HUD Borrower, as successor by merger to CSE SNF Holding II LLC, pursuant to Section 2.9 of the Delta Purchase Agreement (as in effect on November 16, 2009, and a true and correct copy of which agreement has been provided by CHR HUD Borrower to the Buyer) and shall indemnify CHR HUD Borrower in the event it fails to remit any such payments; provided, however, that in no event shall Buyer be obligated to make any such payments (or to indemnify CHR HUD Borrower, or otherwise be liable, for failing to make such payments) except to the extent of collected funds actually received from Tenants under the Delta Leases as payments of percentage rent thereunder. At the HUD Portfolio Closing, the Buyer and CHR HUD Borrower shall enter into an agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to each with respect to the foregoing. For avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that the Buyer has not agreed to assume any obligations under the Delta Purchase Agreement, including but not limited to those set forth in Section 2.9 thereof.
     SECTION 4. SELLERS’ REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
     As a material inducement to the Buyer to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, Sellers hereby jointly and severally represent and warrant, except as set forth in Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule, to the Buyer as of the date hereof and as of the Core Portfolio Closing Date (except as otherwise herein indicated) as follows. For purposes of this Section 4, any reference to “Acquired Company” shall include in addition to the Acquired Companies, the HUD Companies, Casablanca Holdings and the Casablanca Subsidiaries and each Subsidiary of the foregoing, and any reference to “Acquired Property” shall include each HUD Property and each Casablanca Property and any reference to “Acquired Company Securities” shall include the HUD Company Securities and the Casablanca Units, in each case unless the context specifically provides otherwise.
     4.1 Organization and Good Standing.

Each Seller and each Acquired Company is qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the nature or

11


 

character of the property owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of the business transacted by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Acquired Companies either individually or in the aggregate. Section 4.1 of Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule sets forth all jurisdictions in which each Seller and each Acquired Company is qualified to do business, in each case identifying the entity or entities so qualified to do business in such jurisdictions.
     4.2 Power and Authorization.
     Each Seller has all requisite organizational power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and under the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. The execution, delivery and performance by each Seller of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other action. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by each Seller and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Seller, enforceable against each of them in accordance with its terms and, when executed and delivered as contemplated herein, each Transaction Document to which each Seller is a party will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Seller, enforceable against each Seller in accordance with its terms, in each case subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting the enforceability of creditors’ rights generally, general equitable principles, the discretion of courts in granting equitable remedies and matters of public policy.
     4.3 Capitalization.

          (b) The Acquired Company Securities and the HUD Company Securities represent all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the Acquired Companies and the HUD Companies, respectively, and the Casablanca Units represent all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Casablanca Holdings, and in each case, are owned, beneficially, by Sellers as set forth in Section 4.3(b) of Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule. Casablanca Holdings or its direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries own 100% of the issued and outstanding equity, partnership, membership and similar interests of each of the Casablanca Subsidiaries. Except as set forth on Section 4.3(b) of Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule, there are no outstanding offers, options, warrants, rights, agreements or commitments of any kind (contingent or otherwise), including rights of first refusal, first offer or employee benefit arrangements, relating to the issuance, conversion, registration, voting, sale, repurchase or transfer of any equity interests or

12


 

other securities of any Acquired Company or obligating Sellers or any Acquired Company to purchase or redeem any such equity interests or other securities. All of the Acquired Company Securities, the HUD Company Securities, Casablanca Units and equity interests in the Casablanca Subsidiaries have been duly authorized, are validly issued and outstanding, are fully paid and nonassessable and have been issued and are held in compliance with all applicable securities and other Laws. No securities (including, without limitation, the Acquired Company Securities, the HUD Company Securities and Casablanca Units) issued by any Acquired Company since the date of its formation were, and as of the Core Portfolio Closing Date (or, in the case of the HUD Companies or Casablanca Holdings or the Casablanca Subsidiaries, as of the HUD Portfolio Closing Date or the Casablanca Option Closing Date, respectively) will have been, issued in violation of any, contractual, statutory or common law preemptive rights. Except as set forth on Section 4.3(b) of Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule, there are no dividends or distributions which have accrued or been declared but are unpaid on the Casablanca Units, any Acquired Company Securities, HUD Company Securities or any equity interests in the Casablanca Subsidiaries.

Other than the Seller Consents, no consent, authorization, waiver by or filing with any Governmental Entity or other Person is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents (as applicable) by Sellers or any Acquired Company or the consummation by Sellers or any Acquired Company of the transactions contemplated thereby.
     4.5 Limited Operations, Assets and Liabilities; Financial Statements.
          (a) Each Acquired Company was formed or organized solely for the purpose of engaging in, and has since its formation or organization engaged solely in, the business of investing in, owning and/or leasing the Acquired Properties. Except as set forth on Section 4.5(a) of Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule, no Acquired Company owns, or has owned since its date of formation or organization, any assets or properties (whether real, personal, tangible, intangible or mixed) other than the Acquired Properties and, as of immediately prior to the Core Portfolio Closing Date, none of the Acquired Companies will own any assets or properties other than the Acquired Properties.
          (b) Except for obligations secured by Permitted Encumbrances, liabilities reflected on the Financial Statements, the Indebtedness, and liabilities or obligations of the Acquired Companies specifically set forth in Section 4.5(b) of Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule, as of the Core Portfolio Closing, none of the Acquired Companies will have any material liabilities or obligations (including, without limitation, any Excluded Liabilities), whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise.
          (c) Set forth in Section 4.5(c) of Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule are (i) the audited combined balance sheet and statements of income of the carve-out of CapitalSource as of and at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and for the three years ended December 31, 2008 (the “Annual Audited Carve-out Financials”) and (ii) the unaudited combined balance sheet and statements of income of the Carve-out of CapitalSource as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 (together with the Annual Audited Carve-out Financials, the “Carve-out Financial Statements”). The Carve-out Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP as applicable to the carve-out of CapitalSource (except, in the case of interim statements, for the absence of notes thereto and subject to normal year-end adjustments) and present fairly the consolidated financial position of the carve-out of CapitalSource as of and at the dates indicated and the results of operations for the periods specified.
     4.6 Real Property.

          (b) Each Acquired Company (as applicable) has or will have as of immediately prior to the Core Portfolio Closing, insurable title in fee simple or leasehold, as set forth on Section 4.6(b) of Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule, to all of its Acquired Properties, free and

14


 

clear of any Encumbrance except for any Permitted Encumbrances. Except as set forth on Section 4.6(b) of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule, each Acquired Company (as applicable) is the named insured under an owner’s policy of title insurance in the amount set forth on Section 4.6(b) of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule insuring fee simple title to the applicable Acquired Property subject only to Permitted Encumbrances. None of the Permitted Encumbrances constitute a default by an Acquired Company, as landlord, under any of the Property Leases. Sellers have provided to the Buyer true, accurate and complete copies of all existing surveys and title insurance policies, to the extent in the possession of or otherwise available to Sellers. Except as set forth in Section 4.6(b) of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule, no Seller or any Acquired Company (during the period of ownership of the Acquired Companies by Sellers) has received written notice that (i) any building or structure, to the extent of the premises owned or leased by any Acquired Company, or (ii) any appurtenance thereto or equipment therein, or (iii) the ownership, operation or maintenance thereof violates in any material respect any restrictive covenant or any rule adopted by any national, state or local association or board of insurance underwriters. No Seller or any Acquired Company (during the period of ownership of the Acquired Companies by Sellers) has received written notice of any pending or threatened condemnation proceeding, special assessment (other than a special assessment that is the obligation of a Tenant under the terms of a Property Lease), tax certiorari (other than a tax certiorari that is the obligation of a Tenant under the terms of a Property Lease) or similar proceeding with respect to any Acquired Property. To the Knowledge of Sellers, the applicable covenants, easements or rights-of-way affecting any Acquired Property do not in any material respect impair any Acquired Company’s ability to use such Acquired Property in the operation of its business as conducted presently and as of immediately prior to the Core Portfolio Closing. Each Acquired Company (as applicable) has, in all material respects, sufficient access to public roads, streets or the like or valid perpetual easements over private streets, roads or other private property for such ingress to and egress from the Acquired Properties to use them in the operation of the business of the applicable Acquired Company as conducted presently and as of immediately prior to the Core Portfolio Closing. For the purposes of this Section 4.6(b), “insurable title” is deemed to be such title as a nationally reputable title company will insure at standard rates.
          (c) No Seller or any Acquired Company (during the period of ownership of the Acquired Companies by Sellers) has received any unresolved written notice (i) of any pending or contemplated rezoning proceeding directly affecting any Acquired Property, or (ii) from any utility company or municipality of any fact or condition that would be reasonably likely to result in the discontinuation of presently available sewer, water, electric, gas, telephone or other utilities or services for any Acquired Property, or that assert the current use of any of the Acquired Properties violate any applicable zoning ordinances or interfere with any such utility company’s or municipality’s easement rights with respect to any such Acquired Property.
          (d) No Seller or any Acquired Company is or, other than as entered into in accordance with Section 6.1(b), as of immediately prior to the Closing will be, party to any lease or license with respect to any Acquired Property other than: (i) the Property Leases, (ii) immaterial leases entered into in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice and (iii) leases terminable with 30 days notice without any penalty or premium.

A true copy of each Property Lease has been delivered to the Buyer. Except as set forth on Section 4.6(e) of Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule, each Property Lease is in full force and effect and has not been modified, supplemented or amended in any way. Neither any Seller nor any Acquired Company has received any written notice from any Tenant that such Tenant desires to terminate or amend a Property Lease. The Acquired Companies are the sole landlord parties under the Property Leases. Except as set forth on Section 4.6(e) of Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule, neither any Seller nor any Acquired Company (during the period of ownership of the Acquired Companies by Sellers) has received any written notification from any Tenant that an Acquired Company is in default under any Property Lease. No Acquired Company is in default under any Property Lease. Except as set forth on Section 4.6(e) of Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule, no Acquired Company (during the period of ownership of the Acquired Companies by Sellers) has given notice to any Tenant that such Tenant or any of its Affiliates are in default under any Property Lease.

          (b) The Buyer and its Subsidiaries have timely paid all Taxes (including all federal and state Income Taxes) required to be paid by them (whether or not shown on such filed

29

          (c) Neither the Buyer nor any of its Subsidiaries is the subject of any audit, examination, or similar Proceeding or claim in respect of any Taxes or assessment, and to the Knowledge of the Buyer, no audit, examination or other Proceeding or claim in respect of any additional Taxes or assessment against the Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries is pending.
          (d) Commencing with the Buyer’s first taxable year ended December 31, 1992, (i) the Buyer has been subject to taxation as a real estate investment trust within the meaning of Section 856 of the Code (a “REIT”) and has satisfied all requirements to qualify as a REIT, and has so qualified, for each of its taxable years, (ii) has operated in a manner that will permit it to qualify as a REIT for the taxable year or years that include the date hereof and the Core Portfolio Closing Date, HUD Portfolio Closing Date and Casablanca Option Closing Date, and (iii) intends to continue to operate in such a manner as to permit it to continue to qualify as a REIT for the taxable year or years that includes the Core Portfolio Closing Date, HUD Portfolio Closing Date and Casablanca Option Closing Date.
          (e) Each of the Buyer’s Subsidiaries (or other entity in which the Buyer owns, directly or indirectly, greater than 10% of such entity’s outstanding securities) that is a corporation or has elected to be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal Tax purposes qualifies as a “qualified REIT subsidiary”, within the meaning of Section 856(i) of the Code, or as a “taxable REIT subsidiary”, within the meaning of Section 856(l) of the Code.

          (g) Neither the Buyer nor its Subsidiaries holds any asset (or interest in an asset) the disposition of which would be subject, under Treasury Regulation Section 1.337(d)-6 or Treasury Regulation Section 1.337(d)-7, to rules similar to Section 1374 of the Code, other than assets the dispositions of which would result in a Tax liability that would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Buyer or its Subsidiaries.
          (h) Neither the Buyer nor its Subsidiaries has engaged in any action or transaction that likely would result in, or has otherwise incurred, any liability for Taxes under Sections 856(c)(7), 857(b), 857(f), 860(c) or 4981 of the Code that have not previously been paid, other than Taxes that would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Buyer or its Subsidiaries. Neither the Buyer nor its Subsidiaries (other than a “taxable REIT subsidiary” or any Subsidiary of a “taxable REIT subsidiary”) has engaged at any time in any “prohibited transactions” within the meaning of Section 857(b)(6) of the Code, other than transactions the Tax liability with respect to which would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Buyer or its

30


 

Subsidiaries. Neither the Buyer nor its Subsidiaries has engaged in any transaction that would give rise to “redetermined rents, redetermined deductions and excess interest” described in Section 857(b)(7) of the Code.

     6.3 Consents and Cooperation.
     Prior to the Core Portfolio Closing, HUD Portfolio Closing or the Casablanca Option Closing Date, as applicable, Sellers and Buyers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all Seller Consents and Buyer Consents, respectively. Without limiting, and in furtherance of, the foregoing, prior to the appropriate closing, the Buyer will submit applicable licensure applications for a change of ownership for the Acquired Companies with the appropriate state licensure authorities (the “License Authorities”) and provide notice of any such submissions to the Sellers concurrently with the making of such submissions. Each of Sellers and the Buyer shall reasonably assist and cooperate with the other in preparing and filing all documents required to be submitted by the Buyer or the Sellers to any Governmental Entity in connection with such transactions and in obtaining any relevant Buyer Consents and Seller Consents (which assistance and cooperation shall include, without limitation, the timely furnishing to the Buyer or Sellers, as applicable, of all information concerning Buyer or Sellers or any Acquired Company that counsel to the Buyer determines is required to be included in such documents or would be helpful in obtaining any such Buyer Consents and Seller Consents). Each of the parties hereto shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such objections, if any, as may be asserted by any Governmental Entity with respect to the transactions contemplated by the

34


 

Transaction Documents. In connection therewith, if any administrative or judicial action or proceeding is instituted challenging the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents as violative of any applicable Law, each of the parties hereto shall cooperate and use all commercially reasonable efforts to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed, or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent (each an “Order”), that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents, or restricts consummation of such transactions, unless by mutual agreement the Buyer and Sellers decide that litigation is not in their respective best interests. The Buyer and Sellers shall each use all commercially reasonable efforts to take such action as may be required to cause the expiration of the notice periods under the applicable Laws with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents as promptly as possible after the execution of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) none of the Buyer, any of its Subsidiaries or any Affiliate thereof shall (a) be required to divest any of its or its Subsidiaries’ or Affiliates’ businesses or assets, or (b) to take or agree to take any other action or agree to any limitation that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or a material adverse effect on the Buyer, any of its Subsidiaries or any Affiliates thereof or the Acquired Companies (or any of them) from and after the Core Portfolio Closing Date and (ii) none of Sellers or any Affiliate thereof shall (x) be required to divest any of their respective businesses, or assets, or (y) to take or agree to take any other action or agree to any limitation that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Acquired Companies or a material adverse effect on any of its Subsidiaries or any Affiliates thereof or any Seller or any of their respective Affiliates from and after the Core Portfolio Closing Date. Without limiting, and in furtherance of, the foregoing, Sellers shall, and shall cause each Acquired Company to, fully cooperate with the Buyer in connection with the Buyer obtaining title policies (and customary endorsements thereto), surveys, zoning reports or certificates and any other property-level inquiries or undertakings sought by the Buyer with respect to the Acquired Properties, and Sellers shall, and shall cause each Acquired Company to, subject to the last sentence of Section 6.2(a), grant access to the Acquired Properties and execute and deliver any certificates or affidavits reasonably requested in connection therewith (including any title affidavit and indemnity relating to customary non-imputation endorsements) at or prior to Closing.
     6.4 No Solicitation.
     During the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the Termination Date, except for the matters set forth on Schedule 6.1(b):
          (a) Neither any Seller, any Acquired Company nor any of its or their respective Affiliates shall, and each of the foregoing shall not allow any Person acting on its behalf to, directly or indirectly, continue, initiate, encourage, solicit or participate in discussions or negotiations with, or provide any nonpublic information to, any Person (other than the Buyer and its representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents) concerning (i) any sale of assets of any Acquired Company (other than in the ordinary course of its business and consistent with past practice), (ii) any sale of any securities of any Acquired Company including, without limitation, the Acquired Company Securities, the HUD Company Securities or the Casablanca Units, (iii) any other transaction including, without limitation, a merger, consolidation, recapitalization, liquidation or similar transaction, directly involving any Acquired Company (collectively, an “Acquisition

35


 

Transaction”) or (iv) enter into any agreement, understanding or arrangement with respect to an Acquisition Transaction. In addition to the foregoing, no Seller shall agree to engage in any Acquisition Transaction unless the terms thereof expressly exclude the Acquired Companies and the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Sellers shall advise their financial advisors of Sellers’ obligations pursuant to this Section 6.4 and instruct such advisors not to take any action in contravention hereof.
               (b) Sellers shall, and each of them, shall cause each Acquired Company to, promptly communicate to the Buyer within three (3) Business Days following receipt the terms of any proposal that any of its officers, directors or Persons serving in similar capacities may receive after the date of this Agreement in respect of an Acquisition Transaction. Any notification under this Section 6.4(b) shall include the identity of each Person making such proposal, the terms of such proposal and any other information with respect thereto as the Buyer may reasonably request.
               (c) Sellers hereby agree that a monetary remedy for a breach of the agreements set forth in this Section 6.4 will be inadequate and impracticable, and that any such breach would cause the Buyer and its Affiliates irreparable harm. In the event of a breach of this Section 6.4, in addition to any other remedies available to the Buyer, without the requirement of posting any bond or other security, the Buyer shall be entitled to seek equitable remedies in a court of competent jurisdiction regarding this Section 6.4, including, without limitation, the equitable remedy of specific performance with respect to the provisions of this Section 6.4, and shall be entitled to such injunctive relief, including temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions, as a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine with respect to any such breach of the agreements set forth in this Section 6.4; provided; however, that, in the event that the Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(a)(iii), the Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy in respect of such termination (including any breach by Sellers, any Acquired Company or any of their respective Affiliates of the agreements set forth in this Section 6.4) shall be to pursue an action against Sellers for Damages as provided in Section 10.2, and neither any Seller, any Acquired Company nor any of their respective Affiliates shall have any further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement except as otherwise provided in Section 10.2.
               (d) For the avoidance of doubt, any breach by a Seller, any Acquired Company or any of their respective Affiliates of any provision of Section 6.4(a) that is not cured within five (5) Business Days shall be deemed to be a material breach of this Agreement and, for purposes of the exercise by the Buyer of its termination rights pursuant to Section 10.1(a)(iii), after such cure period such breach shall be deemed incapable of being cured prior to the Termination Date.
     6.5 Disclosure Schedule.
     Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Sellers delivered to the Buyer a disclosure schedule (the “Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule”), and the Buyer delivered to Sellers, a disclosure schedule (the “Buyer’s Disclosure Schedule,” the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule and the Buyer’s Disclosure Schedule collectively referred to as the “Disclosure Schedule”) containing exceptions to the representations and warranties of Sellers and the Buyer,

36


 

as applicable, set forth in this Agreement and disclosures and responses relating to certain covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement. Subject to the provisions set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, each exception set forth in the Disclosure Schedule and each other disclosure and response to this Agreement set forth in the Disclosure Schedule shall be in reasonable detail and identified by reference to, or shall be grouped under a heading referring to, a specific individual section or subsection (as applicable) of this Agreement. The inclusion of any information in the Disclosure Schedule shall not be deemed an admission or acknowledgement, in and of itself or solely by virtue of the inclusion of such information in the Disclosure Schedule, that such information is required to be set forth therein or that such information is material to Sellers, any Acquired Company, the Buyer or their respective business, assets or liabilities. Any item disclosed on any section in the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be disclosed with respect to all other sections under which such item may be relevant to the extent that such section is reasonably cross-referenced or the relevance to such other section is readily apparent on the face of the disclosure. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in the Disclosure Schedule shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in this Agreement.

     11.2 Indemnification.
          (a) Sellers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold the Buyer and its Affiliates and their respective directors (or Persons in similar positions), officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any Damages arising from or in connection with or otherwise with respect to (i) any inaccuracy in any representation or the breach of any warranty of any Seller under this Agreement or any certificate or other instrument delivered by any Seller at the relevant Closing pursuant to the provisions of Section 7, (ii) the failure of any Seller to duly perform or observe any term, provision, covenant or agreement to be performed or observed by it pursuant to this Agreement, or (iii) any Excluded Liability.
          (b) The Buyer shall indemnify and hold each Seller and its Affiliates and its respective directors (or Persons in similar positions), officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties” and, together with the Buyer Indemnified Parties, the “Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any Damages arising from or in connection with or otherwise with respect to (i) any inaccuracy in any representation or the breach of any warranty of the Buyer under this Agreement or any certificate or other instrument delivered by the Buyer at the relevant Closing pursuant to the provisions of Section 8, (ii) the failure of the Buyer to duly perform or observe any term, provision, covenant or agreement to be performed or observed by it pursuant to this Agreement, or (iii) any Assumed Indebtedness or Assumed HUD Portfolio Indebtedness.
          (c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, other than with respect to any Excluded Liability, (i) no indemnification shall be available to any Buyer Indemnified Party under Section 11.2(a) if the Damages to which the Buyer Indemnified Parties would otherwise be entitled to indemnification with respect to any single breach or inaccuracy are less than $100,000; and (ii) no indemnification shall be available to any Buyer Indemnified Party under Section 11.2(a) unless and until the aggregate amount of the Damages for which the Buyer Indemnified Parties (as applicable) seeks indemnification (excluding Damages not available as a result of clause (i) above) exceeds a one-time deductible amount of $1,000,000 (the “Deductible”), in which case the relevant Buyer Indemnified Parties entitled to such indemnification shall be entitled to recover all such Damages to which such Buyer Indemnified Parties are entitled in excess of such Damages constituting the Deductible. Other than with respect to any Assumed Indebtedness, Assumed HUD Portfolio Indebtedness or a Limit Violation, (A) no indemnification shall be available to any Seller Indemnified Party under

65


 

Section 11.2(b) if the Damages to which the Seller Indemnified Parties would otherwise be entitled to indemnification with respect to any single breach or inaccuracy are less than $100,000, and (B) no indemnification shall be available to any Seller Indemnified Parties under Section 11.2(b) unless and until the aggregate amount of the Damages for which the Seller Indemnified Parties (as applicable) seeks indemnification (excluding Damages not available as a result of Section 11.2(c)(i) above) exceeds the one time Deductible, in which case the relevant Seller Indemnified Parties entitled to such indemnification shall be entitled to recover such Damages to which such Seller Indemnified Parties are entitled in excess of that portion of such Damages constituting the Deductible. The obligations of Sellers pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 11.2, and recourse against the Sellers pursuant to this Section 11.2, shall be limited such that the aggregate liability of Sellers under this Section 11.2 shall not exceed 10% of the Final Purchase Price (in the case of the indemnification obligations arising on the Core Portfolio Closing Date) and 10% of the HUD Portfolio Final Purchase Price (in the case of the indemnification obligations arising on the HUD Portfolio Closing Date (the “General Core Portfolio Indemnification Cap” and the “General HUD Portfolio Indemnification Cap”) in the aggregate). The obligations of the Buyer pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 11.2, and recourse against the Buyer pursuant to this Section 11.2, shall be limited such that the aggregate liability of the Buyer under this Section 11.2 shall not exceed in the aggregate the General Core Portfolio Indemnification Cap in the case of Buyer’s indemnification obligations that arise on the Core Portfolio Closing Date and the General HUD Portfolio Indemnification Cap in the case of Buyer’s indemnification obligations that arise on the HUD Portfolio Closing Date; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing limitations set forth in this Section 11.2(c), including, without limitation, the Deductible, the General Core Portfolio Indemnification Cap and the General HUD Portfolio Indemnification Cap, shall not apply to (X) any Excluded Liability, and (pursuant to Section 11.2(a)) Sellers shall indemnify and hold the Buyer Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any Damages arising from or in connection with or otherwise with respect to any Excluded Liability from the first dollar of any Excluded Liability and without any cap with respect to the amount thereof and (Y) any Assumed Indebtedness, Assumed HUD Portfolio Indebtedness or Limit Violation, and (pursuant to Section 11.2(b)) Buyer shall indemnify and hold the Seller Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any Damages arising from or in connection with or otherwise with respect to any Assumed Indebtedness, Assumed HUD Portfolio Indebtedness or Limit Violation from the first dollar of any Damages incurred without any cap with respect to the amount thereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for purposes of determining the amount of Damages to which an Indemnified Party is entitled under Section 11.2, but not for determining whether or not any inaccuracy or breach has occurred, all of the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Agreement that are qualified by “material,” “materiality,” “material respects,” or words of similar import shall be deemed to have been made without any such qualification for purposes of determining the amount of Damages resulting from, arising out of or relating to any such breach or violation of representation, warranty or covenant.
          (d) Each Indemnified Party, upon it or (as applicable) its directors (or Persons in similar positions) or officers becoming aware of any event which gives rise to any indemnification rights such Indemnified Party has or may have under this Section 11.2, shall take reasonable steps to mitigate any Damages in respect of which such indemnification may be sought, including (i) using its commercially reasonable efforts to secure payment from available

66


 

insurance arrangements, including insurance arrangements maintained by any Tenant with respect to any Acquired Company or Acquired Property that are to provide coverage with respect to such Damages (an “Insurance Payment”) and (ii) using its commercially reasonable efforts to secure reimbursement, indemnity or other payment from any third Person obligated by Contract or otherwise to reimburse, indemnify or pay the Indemnified Party with respect to such Damages (a “Third Party Payment” and, together with an Insurance Payment, a “Mitigation Payment”) ; provided, however, that no such Indemnified Party shall be required to pursue any potential source of a Mitigation Payment prior to seeking indemnification hereunder or incur any material costs or expenses (unless the Indemnifying Party agrees to reimburse such costs and expenses) or take any action materially adverse to such Indemnified Party in complying with its obligation to mitigate under this Section 11.2(d) and in no event may any Indemnifying Party assert any failure to mitigate by an Indemnified Party as a defense to a claim for indemnification hereunder.
          (e) Any calculation of Damages for purposes of this Section 11.2 shall be net of (i) any Mitigation Payment actually received; provided, however that the Mitigation Payment received or recovered shall be reduced by the amount of any out-of-pocket costs incurred in pursuing such Mitigation Payment; and (ii) Tax benefits actually realized under applicable Law in respect of such Damages, in each case net of all reasonable costs and expenses of recovering any such Tax benefits, whether realized in the year in which payments of Damages are made or thereafter. In the event a payment is made to an Indemnified Party with respect to any Damages and thereafter the Indemnified Party receives a Mitigation Payment with respect to such Damages, the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Parties an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the Mitigation Payment and (y) the amount so paid by the Indemnifying Parties.
          (f) Upon receipt by any Indemnified Party of written notice from any third party of any action, suit, proceedings, claim, demand or assessment by such third party against such Indemnified Party which would reasonably be expected to give rise to a claim for Damages hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall as promptly as practicable give written notice thereof to the Buyer or Sellers (as applicable, the “Indemnifying Party”), if indemnification shall be sought therefrom, indicating the nature of such claim and the basis therefor; provided, however, that failure to give such notice shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its option and expense (and by its own counsel), to assume the defense of any such matter involving the liability of the Indemnified Party asserted by a third party as to which the Indemnifying Party shall have acknowledged its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder. If any Indemnifying Party shall undertake to compromise or defend any such asserted liability, it shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party will cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the compromise of, or defense against, any such asserted liability; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such asserted liability without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless such settlement (x) includes only the payment of monetary damages, (y) does not impose any injunctive or equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party and (z) includes a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party and does not include any admission of wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding any such election to assume the defense of such action or proceeding, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the

67


 

defense of such action or proceeding, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel (and shall pay such fees, costs and expenses at least quarterly), if the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that (i) there may be a conflict of interest (including one or more legal defenses or counterclaims available to it or to other Indemnified Parties which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party) that would make it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of such Indemnified Party for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, (ii) the claim seeks non-monetary relief which, if granted, could materially and adversely affect such Indemnified Party or its Affiliates (in which case, notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action or proceeding on behalf of such Indemnified Party), (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party to represent such Indemnified Party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or proceeding (for the avoidance of doubt, Bryan Cave LLP and Hogan & Hartson LLP shall each be deemed satisfactory counsel) or (iv) the Indemnifying Party shall authorize in writing such Indemnified Party to employ separate counsel at the Indemnifying Party’s expense.
          (g) Sellers, in their sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right to deliver shares of Buyer Common Stock received as Stock Consideration or payment on or conversion of any other consideration received hereunder or under the Casablanca Option Agreement to Buyer Indemnified Parties to satisfy indemnity obligations under this Section 11.2. Such shares shall be valued at the VWAP on the date immediately preceding the date of delivery to Buyer Indemnified Parties (the “Payment Shares”); provided, however, in no event shall Buyer Indemnified Parties be required to accept Payment Shares in settlement of an indemnity claim under this Section 11.2 in an amount greater than 50% of the total Damages incurred and the aggregate value of the Payment Shares then being delivered to the Buyer shall be reduced by the amount of any dividends paid thereon.
          (h) Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, the parties hereto agree to treat any payment made pursuant to this Section 11.2 as an adjustment to the consideration paid pursuant to this Agreement for all Tax purposes.
          (i) Sellers and the Buyer hereby acknowledge and agree that, from and after the Core Portfolio Closing Date or the HUD Portfolio Closing Date, as applicable, the foregoing indemnification provisions in this Section 11.2 shall be the sole and exclusive rights and remedy of any Indemnified Party with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, with respect to (a) any misrepresentation, breach or default of or under any of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement or (b) any failure duly to perform or observe any term, provision, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing set forth herein shall be deemed to limit any party’s rights or remedies in the event that the other party has committed fraud in connection herewith.
          (j) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Sellers shall have no obligation to indemnify, defend, or hold harmless Buyer Indemnified Parties with respect to Damages related to Remediation of Hazardous Materials if such Damages arise solely from

68


 

environmental sampling performed by Buyer indiscriminately and for the sole purpose of discovering conditions which would require Remediation under Applicable law.
     11.3 Environmental Remediation.
          (a) Any Remediation for which an Indemnified Party seeks indemnification from Sellers under this Section 11 shall be governed by this Section 11.3.
          (b) Buyer Indemnified Parties shall have the right to perform Remediation and seek indemnification from Sellers for related costs or shall, at their sole option, elect to have Sellers perform all or a portion of such Remediation.
          (c) Any Party performing a Remediation the cost of which is the responsibility of Sellers pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement (“Performing Party”) shall: (i) provide written notification to the other Party (“Other Party”) that it intends to perform Remediation prior to commencing any such Remediation; (ii) shall select a qualified consultant to oversee the Remediation, subject to the approval of the Other Party, whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; (iii) provide the Other Party with a reasonable opportunity to comment in advance upon any material written communications, filings, reports, correspondence or other writings given to any Governmental Entity in connection with such Remediation and consider timely provided comments in good faith; (iv) to the extent practical, provide the Other Party with a reasonable opportunity to participate in any meetings with any Governmental Authority regarding the Remediation at such Other Party’s sole cost and expense; (v) comply with applicable Laws; (vi) minimize costs in conducting any Remediation and employ cost-effective Remediation methods that are commercially reasonable under the circumstances; (vii) use risk based clean-up standards and employ deed restrictions and institutional and engineering controls to the extent commercially reasonable; (viii) allow the Other Party or their agents reasonable access to the Acquired Properties and Casablanca Properties for purposes of observing the Remediation so long as such Other Party and its agents do not interfere with the Remediation or the operation of the business conducted thereon; (ix) keep the Other Party reasonably informed of the progress of any such Remediation and the schedule for completing such Remediation; (x) within five (5) Business Days of receipt, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to the Other Party copies of all material written communications, filings, reports, correspondence or other writings, photographs or materials received from any Person (including any Governmental Authority) in connection with the performance of any such Remediation; and (xi) use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve any rights the Other Party may have against insurers or other third parties.
          (d) Buyer shall permit Sellers and their representatives and consultants access to the applicable real property (i) for purpose of performing the Remediation, to the extent Sellers are performing the Remediation, so long as Sellers use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with the business conducted thereon and (ii) for observing and monitoring the Remediation if Buyer is performing the Remediation, so long as Sellers uses commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Buyer’s Remediation or the business conducted thereon. Following completion of any Remediation performed by Sellers, Sellers shall promptly return the real property to substantially the same condition in which it existed prior to the commencement of the Remediation (other than with respect to the presence of Hazardous

69


 

Materials). Buyer Indemnified Parties shall reasonably cooperate with Sellers with respect to any Remediation performed by Sellers in accordance with this Section 11.3.
     SECTION 12. CERTAIN ADDITIONAL COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS
     12.1 Casualty.
          (a) Sellers shall notify the Buyer as soon as reasonably practicable after obtaining Knowledge of the occurrence of any Force Majeure Event with respect to any Acquired Property and of any material damage or destruction (a “Casualty Event”) by fire or other casualty that is suffered by any Acquired Property on or before the Core Portfolio Closing Date or the HUD Portfolio Closing Date, as applicable, which notice shall include a reasonably detailed description of the extent of such damage or destruction and of the relevant Casualty Event. If, on or prior to the relevant Closing Date, any Acquired Property or HUD Property shall have been damaged or destroyed by a Casualty Event or a Force Majeure Event, then the Buyer shall proceed to effect the relevant Closing in which such Acquired Property or HUD Property is included, in which event the provisions of Sections 12.1(b) shall apply.
          (b) With respect to any Acquired Company or HUD Company that owns an Acquired Property or HUD Property that has been damaged by a Casualty Event or a Force Majeure Event (collectively, the “Damaged Companies”):
     (i) Sellers shall not (A) adjust and settle any insurance claims with respect to such damaged Acquired Property or HUD Property, or (B) enter into any construction or other contract for the repair or restoration of such damaged Acquired Property or HUD Property, in each case, without the Buyer’s prior written consent (except no such consent shall be necessary to repair or restore any emergency or hazardous condition at such damaged Acquired Property or HUD Property), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed;
     (ii) at the relevant Closing, Sellers shall (A) pay over to the Buyer the amount of any insurance or other proceeds, to the extent collected by Sellers or any Acquired Company or HUD Company, as applicable in connection with such Casualty Event or Force Majeure Event, less the amount of the actual and reasonable unreimbursed expenses incurred by Sellers or any Acquired Company or HUD Company, as applicable in connection with collecting such proceeds and making any repairs to the applicable Acquired Property or HUD Property occasioned by such Casualty Event or Force Majeure Event pursuant to any contract (provided that such contract was reasonably approved by the Buyer as required by this Section 12.1) and (B) assign to the Buyer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer all of Sellers’ right, title and interest in and to (or provide written confirmation from Sellers of an Acquired Company’s or HUD Company’s right to) any insurance proceeds that are uncollected at the time of the subject Closing and that may be paid in respect of such Casualty Event or Force Majeure Event. Sellers shall cooperate with the Buyer in the collection of such proceeds, which obligation shall survive the subject Closing; and

70


 

     (iii) The Final Purchase Price or the final HUD Portfolio Purchase Price, as applicable, shall be reduced by the amount by which:
     (1) the reasonably estimated post-closing cost of repair and restoration of all of the Damaged Companies,
          exceeds
     (2) the remaining balance of the insurance proceeds assigned pursuant to (ii)(A) above plus the uncollected insurance proceeds or tenant contributions to the cure reasonably expected to be collected after the relevant Closing by the Acquired Company or HUD Company and described in (ii)(B) above;
provided, however, that (x) if such amount in the aggregate is less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), then (a) no reduction shall be made to the Final Purchase Price or the HUD Portfolio Final Purchase Price, as applicable, and (b) such amount shall count against the Deductible for purposes of indemnification claims under Section 11.2 without regard to the limitations imposed by Section 11.2(c)(i); provided, further, that if the Deductible has otherwise been reached, then such reduction (or a reduction to the extent of the excess over the Deductible) shall be made to the Final Purchase Price or the final HUD Portfolio Purchase Price, as applicable.
     12.2 Condemnation Pending Closing.
     If, prior to the Closing Date, condemnation or eminent domain proceedings shall be commenced by any competent public authority against any Acquired Property or any portion thereof, Sellers shall promptly (but in no event more than two (2) Business Days after obtaining Knowledge of such proceedings) notify the Buyer thereof, which notice shall include a reasonably detailed description of the nature and extent of such proceedings and of each Acquired Property affected thereby. After notice of the commencement of any such proceedings, the Buyer shall accept title to such Acquired Property subject to such proceedings, whereupon any award payable to Sellers shall be paid to the Buyer and Sellers shall deliver to the Buyer at the Closing all assignments and other documents reasonably requested by the Buyer to vest such award in the Buyer.
     12.3 Additional Covenants.
     Prior to the Core Portfolio Closing Date, Sellers shall be permitted to cause the Acquired Companies that are borrowers under CSE Mortgage Loans to execute, with respect to such CSE Mortgage Loan, the CSE Mortgage Loan Documentation with respect to such CSE Mortgage Loans to the extent the terms and conditions thereof are reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer.
