PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

AND JOINT ESCROW INSTRUCTIONS

THIS PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT AND JOINT ESCROW INSTRUCTIONS (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of May 13, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), by and between the entities listed as “Seller” on Schedule 1A and Schedule 1B attached hereto (each referred to herein individually and collectively as “Seller”), on one hand, and CTR PARTNERSHIP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Buyer”), on the other hand.

RECITALS

A. Reference is hereby made to those certain parcels of real property more particularly described in Exhibit A-1 (the “Fee Land”) and Exhibit A-2 (the “Leasehold Land”), attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (collectively, the “Land”).

B. The Land is improved with the skilled nursing facilities listed on Schedule 1A and Schedule 1B attached hereto and other related improvements (collectively, the “Improvements”). Each facility and the underlying Land on which such facility rests, along with all other Property (as defined below) related to such facility, shall at times be referred to herein as a “Facility” and collectively as the “Facilities,” with those Facilities identified on Schedule 1A referred to herein collectively as the “Fee Facilities” and those Facilities identified on Schedule 1B referred to herein collectively as the “Leasehold Facilities.”

C. Seller owns the fee interest in that certain real property identified on Schedule 1A and more particularly described in Exhibit A-1.

D. Pursuant to that certain Lease Agreement dated as of January 29, 2002 (as amended by that certain First Amendment to Lease Agreement dated as of April, 2002, and as further amended by that certain Second Amendment to Lease Agreement dated as of March 6, 2012, the “Fremont Lease”), Seller, as tenant, leases from the Board of County Commissioners, Sandusky County, Ohio, a governmental body (“Fremont Landlord”), as landlord, certain real property located at 1865 Countryside Drive, Fremont, Ohio 43420 as identified on Schedule 1B and more particularly described in Exhibit A-2 (the “Fremont Land”) and the Facility located on the Fremont Land (the “Fremont Facility”).

E. Pursuant to that certain Nursing Home Lease dated September 10, 2003 (as amended by that certain First Amendment to Nursing Home Lease dated as of August 16, 2013, the “Mansfield Lease”), Seller, as tenant, leases from Lynnhaven XII, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (“Mansfield Landlord”), as landlord, certain real property located at 535 Lexington Avenue, Mansfield, Ohio 44907 as identified on Schedule 1B and more particularly described in Exhibit A-2 (the “Mansfield Land”) and the Facility located on the Mansfield Land (the “Mansfield Facility”).

F. The term “Property” as used herein, means (i) all of Seller’s right, title and interest, if any, in and to the following: (a) the Land, together with all rights, privileges, easements, rights of way, mineral and water rights and other appurtenances to the Land, including parking rights appurtenant thereto; (b) all Improvements thereon; (c) all fixtures of a permanent nature currently affixed to the Land or the Improvements (“Fixtures”); (d) to the extent transferable, all outstanding Warranties, Owner Licenses, and Plans and Reports (each, as defined below) pertaining to the Land or the Improvements; and (e) all fixtures (other than the Fixtures), equipment and personal property and intangible property owned by Seller and used or intended to be used in connection with the operation of the Facilities (the matters referred to in this clause (e) being collectively referred to herein as, the “Seller

 

1


Personal Property”), and (ii) all of Current Operator’s (as defined below) right, title and interest, if any, in and to the equipment and tangible personal property owned by Current Operator and used or intended to be used in connection with the operation of the Facilities (the matters referred to in this clause (ii) being collectively referred to herein as, the “Current Operator Personal Property,” and collectively with the Seller Personal Property, the “Personal Property”). As used in this Agreement, “Current Operator” shall refer to the current, licensed operator of a Facility, if other than Seller, operating such Facility pursuant to an existing lease between Seller and such Current Operator; provided, however, that if Seller is the licensed operator of the Facilities then all references in this Agreement to “Current Operator” shall be deemed to refer to Seller. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, the following (the “Operator Property”) are not part of the Property but Seller hereby agrees to transfer such Operator Property (or to cause Current Operator, if applicable, to transfer such Operator Property) to New Operator (as hereinafter defined) at Closing and at no additional cost pursuant to the Operations Transfer Agreement (as hereinafter defined) or otherwise: (a) all vehicles, machinery, tools, spare and replacement parts and similar property used in connection with the operation of the Facilities; (b) all rights to all ongoing or outstanding Contracts; (c) all office supplies, medical supplies, food supplies, housekeeping supplies, laundry supplies and inventories and supplies physically on hand at the Facilities as of the Close of Escrow (as defined below); (d) all customer lists, resident files and records related to current residents and all books and records with respect to the operation of the Facilities existing and physically located at the Facilities as of the Close of Escrow; (e) all employee time recording devices, computers, computer software, hardware and discs used in connection with the operation of the Facilities, all telephone numbers, brochures, pamphlets, flyers, mailers and all other promotional materials related to the marketing and advertising of the business conducted at the Facilities, all marketing studies, analysis and similar materials related to the business conducted at the Facilities and the market or potential market therefor; and (f) to the extent transferable, all Licenses other than the Owner Licenses. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the following shall be expressly excluded from the Property and the Operator Property and shall be retained by Seller and/or Current Operator as applicable: (1) all refunds, settlements, suits and causes of action related to the Property and Operator Property together with all contingent and unliquidated claims, counterclaims and rights to setoff claims related to the Property and Operator Property; (2) the accounts receivable, notes receivable, investments, and cash and cash equivalents; (3) the operating rights to fifteen (15) licensed nursing home beds from the Oxford Facility; (4) the domain name www.libertynursingcenters.com; (5) except as provided in Section 3(d) below, all deposits and bonds relating to the Facilities (except security deposits of any resident at any Facility); (6) personal property owned by residents of the Facilities and not by Seller or Current Operator; (7) any prepaid expenses pertaining to items such as, without limitation, utilities, supplies and equipment, insurance and workers’ compensation premiums, taxes, employee benefits, and professional services; (8) the items listed on Schedule 5 attached hereto, and (9) the general corporate record books (excluding financial reports and books), trademarks, service marks, logos and insignia of Seller or Current Operator (including the names “Liberty Nursing Center,” “Liberty Nursing Centers of Beavercreek,” “Liberty Nursing Center of Oxford,” “Liberty Nursing Center of Willard,” “Liberty West Nursing Center of Toledo,” “Liberty Nursing Center of Mansfield,” “Liberty Nursing Center of Fremont,” and “Liberty Nursing Center of Riverside,” “Liberty Nursing Center of Riverview,” “Liberty Nursing and Rehabilitation Center of Three Rivers,” “Liberty Retirement Community of Washington Township,” “Liberty Nursing Center of Englewood,” “Liberty Nursing Center of Portsmouth,” “Liberty Nursing Centers of Bellbrook,” “Liberty Retirement Community of Middletown,” “Liberty Nursing Center of Xenia” and “Liberty Nursing Center of Jamestown”); provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at Closing Buyer and New Operator shall automatically, without the need for any further action by the parties, be granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license from Seller to use the existing trade names of the Facilities for a transitional period of three (3) months after the Close of Escrow, so long as any such licensee so using the Facilities trade names maintains CMS star ratings at “3-Star” or above (or at such lower star rating if a Facility does not have a “3-Star” rating or above at Closing). If any such licensee so using the Facilities trade names does not maintain a CMS star rating at “3-Star” or above, the limited license with respect to such Facility shall be automatically revoked and terminated.

G. As more particularly set forth on Schedule 2, the Land and the Facilities are subject to certain financing (collectively the “Debt”) evidenced by promissory notes (the “Notes”) in favor of certain lenders (collectively the “Lenders”). The Notes are secured by mortgages or deeds of trust executed by Seller as “mortgagor” or “trustor” or the like, for the benefit of the Lenders and are recorded in the Official Records of the counties in which the Facilities are located (the “Mortgages”). The outstanding principal balances of the Notes as of December 31, 2014 are set forth on Schedule 2. In addition, Schedule 2 also identifies both (1) Debt pursuant to which the following banks are the Lenders (collectively, the “Bank Debt”): PNC Bank, Fifth Third Bank and Huntington Bank (individually, “Bank”; collectively, “Banks”) in the aggregate outstanding principal amount of approximately Fifty-Eight Million Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars ($58,900,000) and (2) Debt pursuant to which HUD is the Lender (collectively, “Agency Debt”). Upon the Close of Escrow (as defined below), and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, all Bank Debt shall be paid in full from Purchase Price proceeds through Escrow, and the Agency Debt shall, at Buyer’s option, be either assumed by Buyer or paid in full from Purchase Price proceeds through Escrow, on the terms and conditions set forth herein. Any Debt assumed as of Close of Escrow by Buyer shall be referred to herein collectively as the “Assumption Debt;” and any Debt paid in full through Escrow at Closing shall be referred to herein collectively as the “Paid Debt.”

H. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the fee simple interest in the Mansfield Land and the Mansfield Facility are subject to certain financing (collectively the “Existing Mansfield Debt”) evidenced by a promissory note (the “Existing Mansfield Note”) in favor of Berkadia Commercial Mortgage, LLC (the “Existing Mansfield Lender”). The Existing Mansfield Note is secured by a mortgage recorded in the Official Records of the county in which the Mansfield Facility is located (the “Existing Mansfield Mortgage”).

I. Seller desires to sell the Property to Buyer, and Buyer desires to buy the Property from Seller, all pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth below.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, taking into account the foregoing Recitals, and in consideration of the mutual covenants, agreements and conditions set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Buyer and Seller agree as follows:

1. Agreement to Purchase and Sale. Seller hereby agrees to sell, convey and assign the Property to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to buy and accept the Property from Seller, under the terms and conditions and for the purchase price hereinafter set forth.

2. Purchase Price. The purchase price to be paid for the Property (the “Purchase Price”) at the Close of Escrow is One Hundred Seventy-Five Million Dollars ($175,000,000), subject to credits and adjustments as set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at Closing Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of (1) the outstanding principal indebtedness of the Assumption Debt assumed by Buyer at Closing, and (2) pre-payment penalties and fees payable in connection with the pay-off of the Paid Debt (“Prepay Fees”) at Closing to the extent said Prepay Fees are in excess of Two Million One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,100,000) in the aggregate, and are actually paid by Buyer.

 

3


(a) Buyer and Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that funds are on deposit in those certain escrow accounts (collectively, the “HUD Escrows”) established for all replacement reserves, mortgage escrow funds, residual receipts, premiums, deposits and similar funds held in connection with the (i) the Agency Debt and (ii) to the extent the Mansfield Landlord confirms in the Mansfield Lease Assignment (as defined below) its willingness to cooperate and allow release of such funds to New Operator from time to time as permitted by applicable U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) regulations, the Existing Mansfield Debt, up to and including the amounts set forth on Schedule 3 attached hereto. In addition to payment of the Purchase Price, Buyer shall reimburse Seller, dollar-for-dollar, at Closing through Escrow, the amount of the HUD Escrows assigned and transferred to Buyer at Closing. Any difference (increase or decrease) between the amount of the HUD Escrows set forth on Schedule 3 and the actual amount thereof at the Close of Escrow (or, with respect to the Existing Mansfield Debt, the actual amount, if any, permitted by HUD to be used by New Operator from time to time) shall be reflected as a dollar-for-dollar adjustment in the foregoing reimbursement amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the HUD Escrows shall be assigned to Buyer at the Close of Escrow.

(b) The Purchase Price shall be paid in the following increments at the following times:

(i) Initial Deposit. Buyer shall make a cash deposit of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) into Escrow (as defined below) within two (2) business days of the Opening of Escrow (as defined below).

(ii) Additional Deposit. In the event Buyer delivers an Approval Notice (as defined in Section 3(b) below) to Seller on or before the Due Diligence Expiration Date, Buyer shall make an additional cash deposit of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) into Escrow within two (2) business days of the Due Diligence Expiration Date.

(iii) Balance of Purchase Price. The balance of the Purchase Price as well as all sums necessary to pay Buyer’s costs, expenses and prorations (including without limitation any payments required by Section 2(a) and 3(d) of this Agreement) in connection with this transaction shall be deposited by Buyer into Escrow in immediately available funds prior to the Close of Escrow (as defined below).

(iv) Application of Deposit. So much of the cash sums as have been actually deposited into Escrow at any given time pursuant to Sections 2(b)(i) and 2(b)(ii) above, together with all interest earned thereon, shall sometimes collectively be referred to herein as the “Deposit.” If this Agreement is terminated after the Due Diligence Expiration Date (i) as a result of Buyer’s timely disapproval (or deemed disapproval) of any of the contingencies set forth in Section 3 below, (ii) by reason of the failure of any condition precedent in favor of Buyer as set forth in this Agreement, or (iii) for any other reason except for a default under this Agreement solely on the part of Buyer, then the Deposit shall be released by Escrow Holder (as hereinafter defined) to Buyer immediately upon written instructions signed by Buyer and Seller; provided, however, that Seller shall not unreasonably withhold, condition, or delay its approval of such release. If this Agreement is terminated on or prior to the Due Diligence Expiration Date (i) as a result of Buyer’s timely disapproval (or deemed disapproval) of any of the contingencies set forth in Section 3 below, (ii) by reason of the failure of any condition precedent in favor of Buyer as set forth in this Agreement, or (iii) for any other reason except for a default under this Agreement solely on the part of Buyer, then the Deposit shall be released by Escrow Holder to Buyer immediately upon written instructions signed by Buyer. If the purchase and sale of the Property is consummated as contemplated hereunder, the Deposit shall be applied against the Purchase

Price at the Close of Escrow. All Deposits made by Buyer pursuant to this Section 2 shall be placed in a federally insured interest-bearing account by Escrow Holder upon terms acceptable to Buyer to be held by Escrow Holder in trust for the benefit of Buyer. If this Agreement is: (i) terminated by Seller (to the extent Seller is permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to its terms) because of a default under this Agreement on the part of Buyer, or (ii) if the purchase and sale of the Property is not consummated because of a default under this Agreement solely on the part of Buyer, then the Deposit shall be non-refundable to Buyer and shall be released by Escrow Holder to Seller and shall constitute the liquidated damages due to Seller pursuant to Section 16(m) below. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer and Seller agree that a portion of the Deposit equal to One Hundred Dollars ($100) (the “Independent Consideration”) shall be earned by Seller upon full execution and delivery of this Agreement. Buyer and Seller hereby mutually acknowledge and agree that the Independent Consideration represents adequate bargained for consideration for Seller’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and Buyer’s right to have inspected the Property pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Upon the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement, the Independent Consideration shall be paid to Seller. Accordingly, any provision of this Agreement contemplating a return of the Deposit to Buyer, shall mean and refer to the Deposit less the Independent Consideration.

(v) Allocation of Purchase Price. Buyer and Seller shall have the right to allocate a portion of the Purchase Price to the Personal Property for purposes of determining transfer tax and sales tax with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. Buyer and Seller hereby acknowledge that such allocations will have been approved by Buyer and Seller as of the Due Diligence Expiration Date.

3. Buyer Contingencies. Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Property and proceed to the Close of Escrow shall be subject to its approval of each contingency set forth below (collectively, the “Buyer Contingencies”) within the time periods indicated below. The Buyer Contingencies are for the sole benefit of Buyer. The satisfaction of each Buyer Contingency is a condition precedent to the Close of Escrow. Buyer may approve or disapprove any or all of the documents, materials, items and matters identified in this Section 3 in its sole and absolute discretion, except as otherwise specifically provided below. This Agreement may be terminated upon written notice by Buyer: (i) as a result of Buyer’s disapproval of any of the contingencies set forth in this Section 3 within the time periods provided for herein, or (ii) by reason of the failure of any condition precedent in favor of Buyer as set forth in this Agreement and, following any such termination, neither party shall have any further liability or obligations under this Agreement, except for those liabilities and obligations that expressly survive a termination of this Agreement. Upon written approval or written waiver of all of the Buyer Contingencies by Buyer, the Deposit (to the extent then held in Escrow), shall be nonrefundable to Buyer and shall be considered liquidated damages in Escrow pursuant to Section 16(m) below.

(a) Title and Survey.

(i) Within five (5) business days of the Opening of Escrow, (A) Buyer shall order from Commonwealth Land Title (the “Title Company”) an extended coverage preliminary title report or commitment for each Facility (collectively, the “PTR”), together with legible copies of all documents (“Exception Documents”) relating to the title exceptions referred to in the PTR, and (B) Seller shall deliver to Title Company copies of all of its policies of title insurance for the Facilities in its possession. Buyer and Seller shall cause the Title Company to deliver to Buyer and Seller copies of the PTR and Exception Documents.

(ii) Within five (5) business days of the Opening of Escrow, Buyer shall order, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, a survey of each Facility, which surveys are to be prepared in accordance with the “Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys,” jointly established and adopted by the American Land Title Association and National Society for Professional Surveyors, Inc., in 2011 (the “Surveys”), sufficient to enable the Title Company to issue the Title Policies (as defined below) with the blanket exceptions thereof limited only to shortages in area. The Surveys shall be certified as true and correct by the surveyor for the benefit of Buyer and the Title Company. Buyer and Seller shall cause the surveyor to deliver to Buyer and Seller copies of the Surveys.

(iii) At least fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Expiration Date, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of any disapproved title exceptions (the “Disapproved PTR Matters”) and any disapproved matters relating to the Surveys (the “Disapproved Survey Matters” and collectively with the Disapproved PTR Matters, the “Disapproved Title Matters”) (each such writing, a “Title Objection Letter”). All title exceptions set forth in the PTR other than the Disapproved PTR Matters, together with all survey matters set forth in the Surveys other than the Disapproved Survey Matters, shall collectively constitute the “Permitted Exceptions.”

(iv) If Buyer delivers one or more Title Objection Letters, then Seller shall have ten (10) calendar days after its receipt of a Title Objection Letter to notify Buyer in writing whether Seller is willing to remove, or cause to be removed, the Disapproved Title Matters set forth in such Title Objection Letter, or, in the alternative, obtain the necessary title endorsements (the “Disapproved Title Matter Endorsements”), in a form satisfactory to Buyer, to insure against the effects of such Disapproved Title Matters. If Seller notifies Buyer that Seller is willing to cure a Disapproved Title Matter (whether by removal or endorsement), Seller shall be unconditionally obligated to so cure such Disapproved Title Matter prior to or concurrently with the Close of Escrow at its sole cost and expense. Seller’s failure to notify Buyer that Seller is willing to cure a Disapproved Title Matter within the required ten (10) calendar day period shall be deemed a notice of Seller’s election not to cure such Disapproved Title Matter. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Buyer shall not be required to object to any (A) lien securing a mortgage, deed of trust or trust deed; (B) judgment lien against Seller or any party claiming under Seller; (C) tax lien or real estate taxes that are due and payable; (D) broker’s lien; or (E) any mechanics’ lien, materialman’s lien or other statutory lien, and Seller shall be obligated to cure and discharge each of the foregoing (other than (i) the Existing Mansfield Debt, which will remain following the Closing, and (ii) the Assumption Debt, which Buyer shall assume at the Close of Escrow, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement) on or prior to the Close of Escrow.

(v) If Seller notifies Buyer in writing (or is deemed to have notified Buyer) that Seller is not willing to cure a Disapproved Title Matter, Buyer shall then, within five (5) days after its receipt of such written notice (or deemed notice), elect in its sole and absolute discretion, by giving written notice to Seller and Escrow Holder, (A) to terminate this Agreement, or (B) to waive its disapproval of such Disapproved Title Matter (and such Disapproved Title Matter shall then be deemed to be a Permitted Exception). Buyer’s failure to give such notice shall be deemed an election to terminate this Agreement. Upon Buyer’s election, or deemed election, to terminate this Agreement under this Section 3(a), this Agreement shall be deemed cancelled, the Deposit shall be released by Escrow Holder to Buyer immediately upon written demand by Buyer, after which neither party shall have any further obligations to the other under this Agreement, except those that are specifically stated to survive the termination of this Agreement.

(vi) If the Title Company, prior to Close of Escrow, discloses to Buyer or Seller a new exception (other than a new exception created by Buyer), or materially amends any exception previously approved by Buyer, or materially amends the terms under which the Title Company is willing to issue the Title Policy, or if the Surveys are materially amended, then Buyer shall have ten (10) calendar days from its receipt of notice of such disclosure, together with legible copies of all documents mentioned in such disclosure (and if necessary, the Close of Escrow shall be extended to provide for such ten (10) calendar day period), to disapprove of the same by delivering a Title Objection Letter related thereto. Such disapproved disclosures shall be treated as Disapproved Title Matters pursuant to Sections 3(a)(iii) through 3(a)(v) above.

(vii) As a condition precedent to the Close of Escrow in favor of Buyer, the Title Company shall be irrevocably and unconditionally committed to issue the Title Policies in the form required by this Agreement.

(b) Buyer’s Due Diligence. On or before July 30, 2015 (the “Due Diligence Expiration Date”), Buyer shall have completed its due diligence investigation of the Property and shall have approved or disapproved such matters as Buyer deems appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion with respect to the Property, including without limitation any items related to the physical condition of the Property or the Property’s suitability for Buyer’s intended purpose. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer shall have the right until 6:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the Due Diligence Expiration Date, to elect in its sole and absolute discretion, by giving written notice to Seller and Escrow Holder, (A) to terminate this Agreement, or (B) to confirm its satisfaction with the Property and intent to close the transaction pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (the “Approval Notice”). Buyer’s failure to give the Approval Notice shall be deemed an election to terminate this Agreement. Upon Buyer’s election, or deemed election, to terminate this Agreement under this Section 3(b), this Agreement shall be deemed cancelled, the Deposit shall be released by Escrow Holder to Buyer immediately upon written demand by Buyer, after which neither party shall have any further obligations to the other under this Agreement, except those that are specifically stated to survive the termination of this Agreement. Concurrently with delivering the Approval Notice, if at all, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing whether Buyer desires to assume any of the Bank Debt or pay off any of the Agency Debt. If Buyer delivers the Approval Notice but does not notify Seller in writing whether Buyer desires to assume any of the Bank Debt or pay off any of the Agency Debt, then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to pay off all of the Bank Debt and the Agency Debt.

(c) Documents to be Provided by Seller. Within five (5) calendar days following the Opening of Escrow, Seller shall cause to be delivered to Buyer a legible copy of all material information which Seller possesses, or that Seller may obtain from Current Operator , with respect to the Property, including without limitation the following (the “Property Documents”):

(i) an occupancy report for each Facility dated no earlier than thirty (30) days prior to the Opening of Escrow;

(iii) all of Seller’s and Current Operator’s books, records, income and expense statements, year-end financial and monthly operating statements relating to each Facility for the three most recent fiscal years prior to the Close of the Escrow and, to the extent available,

(iv) all plans and specifications, soil, engineering, environmental or architectural notices, studies, reports or plans, and all other reports concerning the Facilities that relate to the physical condition or operation of each Facility or recommended improvements thereto, including, without limitation, any information that relates to the Facilities’ compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (collectively, the “Plans and Reports”);

(v) all permits, licenses, approvals, entitlements and other governmental, utility service provider and other quasi-governmental authorizations, including any bed rights, certificates of need or other similar certificate and any certificates of occupancy that Seller or Current Operator now holds in connection with the ownership, planning, development, construction, use, operation or maintenance of the Property, and all amendments, modifications, supplements, general conditions and addenda thereto (collectively, the “Licenses”);

(vi) all appraisals of the Property prepared in the last eighteen (18) months;

(vii) all guarantees, representations and warranties made to or inuring to the benefit of Seller regarding the Property or its operation or the construction of the Improvements (“Warranties”). Seller shall also cause to be delivered to Buyer all contracts, leases and other binding agreements currently in effect relating to the Property and/or the use thereof together with any and all amendments, modifications or supplements thereto (collectively the “Contracts”);

(viii) Seller’s current certificates of insurance with respect to each Facility and the operations conducted therein, together with the loss history relating to the less of: (A) the period during which Seller or any affiliate of Seller has owned or operated such Facility, or (B) five (5) years;

(ix) the most recent tax bills for the Property including, but not limited to, bills for real estate taxes and personal property taxes, if any; and all notices received by Seller within the two (2) years immediately preceding the date hereof and pertaining to real estate taxes or assessments applicable to the Property. Seller shall promptly deliver to Buyer a copy of any such bills or notices received by Seller after the date hereof (even if received by Seller after the Close of Escrow);

(x) to the extent not included on the State of Ohio on-line Enhanced Information Dissemination & Collection (“EIDC”) website (http://publicapps.odh.ohio.gov/eid/default.aspx), copies of any and all written notices received by Seller or Current Operator within the last two (2) years from any governmental or quasi-governmental authorities with respect to (A) violations or alleged violations of any License, law, code or regulation, including, without limitation, any health and sanitation, fire or building codes; (B) complaints by any resident of any Facility (“Residents”) or his or her family; (C) defects or other deficiencies in the Facilities, and (D) results of all inspections of the Facilities. On or before the date that is two (2) Business Days following the Effective Date, Seller shall provide Buyer with all user names, passwords, and any other information required to access the EIDC website with respect to the Facilities. To the extent that, despite Buyer’s reasonable attempts, it is unable to access the EIDC website with respect to the Facilities, Seller shall promptly provide Buyer with copies of or access to the information described in this clause (x);

(xi) a true, correct, and complete copy of the Fremont Lease and the Mansfield Lease, together with any and all amendments, modifications or supplements thereto, as well as the current notice address for the landlord under the Fremont Lease and the Mansfield Lease and the contact information (including phone, fax and email) of Seller’s principal contact at each such landlord; and

(xii) such other documents or items as Buyer may reasonably request in writing in connection with its due diligence investigation of the Property or the operation thereof.

(d) Agency Debt. Prior to the Close of Escrow, Buyer shall receive from each of the Agency Lenders from which consent is required pursuant to the terms of the Agency Debt Documents, written approval (which shall not include any conditions that imposed material obligations on Buyer not usually and customarily included in such approvals) for (i) the assumption of the Assumption Debt, and (ii) full prepayment of the applicable Paid Debt at the Close of Escrow, to the extent Buyer has elected to have the same paid at Closing, all of which approvals shall be on terms acceptable to Buyer in its reasonable discretion. Seller agrees that it shall take all actions reasonably necessary to permit Buyer to assume the Assumption Debt, to facilitate, and deliver the required prepayment notices in connection with, prepayment of the applicable Paid Debt at the Close of Escrow, and to permit Buyer (or its assignee or nominee, including, without limitation, New Operator) to assume Seller’s leasehold interest in the Mansfield Lease, including providing such information concerning Seller and the operation of the Property and executing and delivering such documents as required by the Agency Lenders. In connection with the assumption of the Assumption Debt, Seller agrees to transfer its regulatory agreements and other related documentation related to such Assumption Debt and to cooperate in any so-called “Transfer of Physical Assets”, A7, or other similar procedure or process of HUD. Prior to the Close of Escrow, Seller and the applicable Agency Lenders shall execute all necessary instruments to effectuate the foregoing consents, assumptions, and assignment of all applicable HUD Escrows. With respect to the Mansfield Facility, Buyer shall cause New Operator, promptly following the Due Diligence Expiration Date, to apply for a Modified Transfer of Physical Assets with respect to the Mansfield Facility (the “Mansfield MTPA”) in order to secure Existing Mansfield Lender’s approval of New Operator’s occupancy of the Mansfield Facility and the transfer of any applicable regulatory agreements in connection therewith. HUD’s approval of such Mansfield MTPA, including, without limitation, HUD’s willingness to permit New Operator’s use of any HUD Escrows applicable to the Mansfield Facility, shall be a condition precedent to the Close of Escrow in favor of Buyer; provided, however, if the Mansfield MTPA is not received at least five (5) business days prior to the Closing, then the Buyer shall proceed to Closing with respect to the remaining Facilities, and shall postpone the Closing for the Mansfield Facility as more particularly provided in Section 5(h) of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, whereas all Bank Debt is to be paid at Close of Escrow, Buyer hereby expressly reserves the right to elect, by written notice to Seller, that certain Agency Debt to be paid in full at Close of Escrow (with Purchase Price proceeds) in lieu of Buyer assuming such Agency Debt (and being entitled to a credit against the Purchase Price for the same), in which event Seller agrees that it shall take all actions reasonably necessary to facilitate prepayment of such Agency Debt at the Close of Escrow; provided, however, (i) Buyer shall be responsible for and shall pay applicable Prepay Fees therefor, (ii) Buyer’s obligation pursuant to clause (i) shall be limited to the amount of Two Million One Hundred Thousand Dollars (the “Prepay Cap”) in the aggregate (including Prepay Fees payable in connection with the payoff of Bank Debt), and (iii) Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price for any Prepay Fees paid by Buyer in excess of the Prepay Cap. As used in this Section 3(d) and elsewhere in this Agreement where applicable, the terms “Oxford Lender,” “Riverside Lender,” “Existing Mansfield Lender,” “Willard Lender,” “Agency Lender,” Agency Lenders,” Assumption Lender,” and “Assumption Lenders” shall be

 

9


deemed to include HUD. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the contingency described in this clause (d) must occur prior to the Close of Escrow but is not tied to any specific date and, therefore, other than the outside closing date referred to in Section 4(b) (i.e. December 31, 2015), Buyer may not terminate this Agreement for failure of the contingency described in this clause (d) to occur on or before a certain date.

(e) Documents to be Provided by Escrow Holder. At least two (2) business days prior to the scheduled Close of Escrow, but no more than seven (7) business days prior to the scheduled Close of Escrow, Escrow Holder shall prepare and deliver to Buyer and Seller a pro forma closing statement (the “Closing Statement”) relating to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which statement shall include, without limitation, line items relating to amounts due under the Master Lease (as defined below) as of the Close of Escrow. Buyer’s written approval of the Closing Statement, which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, shall be a condition precedent to the Close of Escrow. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the contingency described in this clause (e) must occur prior to the Close of Escrow but is not tied to any specific date and, therefore, other than the outside closing date referred to in Section 4(b) (i.e. December 31, 2015), Buyer may not terminate this Agreement for failure of the contingency described in this clause (e) to occur on or before a certain date.

(f) Date Down of Representations; No Breach of Covenants. All of the representations and warranties of Seller pursuant to Section 9 below shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Close of Escrow and, prior to the Close of Escrow, there shall be no material breach of Seller’s covenants or obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, those covenants set forth in Section 10 below.

(g) Concurrent Lease Transaction.

(i) Prior to the Due Diligence Expiration Date, and as a condition precedent in favor of Buyer, Buyer, or one (1) or more of its affiliates or nominees, as landlord (in such capacity, collectively, “Master Landlord”), and such operator(s) as Buyer may designate in its sole and absolute discretion (in such capacity, collectively, “New Operator”), shall enter into, in Buyer’s sole discretion, one or more acceptable lease agreements (other than the Mansfield Facility and the Fremont Facility) (collectively (if applicable), the “Master Lease”), whereby Master Landlord shall lease the Facilities (excluding the Mansfield Facility and the Fremont Facility) to New Operator. Notwithstanding anything herein which may be construed to the contrary, Buyer and Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that there may be more than one Master Lease and more than one New Operator and that, as used in this Agreement, the terms Master Lease and New Operator shall refer to any and all such Master Leases and New Operators. If Buyer elects to change the identity of the New Operators that have been disclosed to Seller as of the Effective Date, and if any such New Operator currently operates (or within the past five (5) years has operated) a licensing nursing home in the State of Ohio, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of the identify of any such New Operator on or before the date that is five (5) days prior to the Due Diligence Expiration Date for Seller’s prior approval, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Seller’s failure to deliver written notice to Buyer of Seller’s approval or disapproval of any such New Operator within three (3) days of receipt of Buyer’s written notice shall be deemed to constitute Seller’s approval of any such New Operator. If Seller disapproves of any such New Operator, then Buyer shall have a period of fifteen (15) days (with the Due Diligence Expiration Date being extended as necessary to accommodate said fifteen (15) day period) to find a replacement New Operator, which replacement New Operator shall be subject to Seller’s prior approval to the extent otherwise required, and pursuant to the procedure provided for, in this Section. Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of the identity of any such New Operator.

 

10


(ii) In connection with Buyer’s assumption of the Assumption Debt, (A) the form of the Master Lease shall be modified as necessary to (1) incorporate the provisions and requirements generally imposed by HUD in connection with a facility lease relating to a skilled nursing facility encumbered with a HUD insured mortgage, including, without limitation, requirements that (x) New Operator comply with the operational requirements set forth in the applicable Assumption Debt Documents (including the obligations under the fee owner’s regulatory agreement), and (y) New Operator enter into a tenant regulatory agreement with respect to each applicable Facility; and (2) obligate New Operator to fund reserves with the Agency Lender for taxes, insurance and/or capital improvement and repair obligations as may be required under the applicable Assumption Debt Documents; and (B) Seller shall deliver to Agency Lender such other instruments and documents as may be required by the Agency Lender as a condition to granting its consent to the assumption of the Assumption Debt by Buyer.

(iii) As of the Close of Escrow, any lease agreement (the “Existing Leases”) then existing with respect to the operation of a Facility between Seller and a Current Operator, if any, shall be terminated. For the avoidance of doubt, the Existing Leases do not include the Mansfield Lease and the Fremont Lease.

(h) Fremont Lease and Mansfield Lease. Except as set forth in this Section 3(h), Buyer’s obligation to proceed to the Close of Escrow is conditioned on its receipt, at least five (5) business days prior to the Closing, of an estoppel certificate and consent to assignment (to New Operator) of each of the Fremont Lease and the Mansfield Lease duly executed by Fremont Landlord and Mansfield Landlord, respectively. Each such estoppel certificate and consent to assignment shall be in form and substance acceptable to Buyer (each, a “Lease Estoppel and Consent” and, collectively, the “Lease Estoppels and Consents”). Each Lease Estoppel and Consent must: (i) be dated no earlier than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing, (ii) be consistent with the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in this Agreement pertaining to the Fremont Lease and the Mansfield Lease, as applicable, and (iii) provide for Fremont Landlord’s and Mansfield Landlord’s, as applicable, express and unconditional (with respect to New Operator) consent to the assignment of the Fremont Lease or Mansfield Lease, as applicable, to New Operator. Seller shall provide Buyer with a copy of each Lease Estoppel and Consent for Buyer’s review and approval before delivering the same to the Fremont Landlord and Mansfield Landlord, as applicable. Seller hereby agrees to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Lease Estoppels and Consents to be approved and duly executed by Fremont Landlord and Mansfield Landlord, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Section 3(h) and, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer and New Operator in seeking an extension to the term of the Fremont Lease and the Mansfield Lease, respectively, to the date that is fifteen (15) years from the then scheduled Close of Escrow. If either or both Lease Estoppels and Consents are not delivered to Buyer on or before the date that is forty-five (45) days before the scheduled Close of Escrow, or if either or both do not meet the foregoing requirements (other than the requirement for a fifteen (15) year extension, which is not a condition to proceed to Closing), or disclose any facts objectionable to Buyer in its reasonable discretion, then (A) Buyer shall proceed to Closing with respect to the remaining Facilities (postponing the Closing for Fremont Facility and/or Mansfield Facility as more particularly provided herein) with a Purchase Price reduction of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) for each of Fremont Facility and/or Mansfield Facility excluded from such Closing, and (B) Seller shall continue in good faith to satisfy all such contingencies. In the event Seller thereafter obtains the requisite Lease Estoppels and Consents for either or both previously excluded Leasehold Facilities within one hundred eighty (180) days after the Close of Escrow, then (1) within five (5) business days of Buyer’s receipt of such Lease Estoppel and Consent, New Operator shall submit the requisite applications to

 

11


obtain the Operator Approvals and Mansfield MTPA, as applicable, and (2) provided such Lease Estoppel and Consent does not disclose any facts objectionable to Buyer in its reasonable discretion, closing for such Leasehold Facility(ies) will occur, subject to the satisfaction of any applicable conditions precedent in favor of Buyer, on the first day of the month following New Operator’s receipt of the MTPA, if applicable, and further provided that the New Operator shall not have received any indication from the State of Ohio that the Operator Approvals will not be received or will not be dated as of the Closing, and Closing shall occur on substantially the same terms and provisions set forth for the Closing otherwise set forth herein, but with a Purchase Price of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) per Leasehold Facility then closing. If Seller fails to obtain the foregoing Lease Estoppel(s) and Consent(s) within such one hundred eighty (180) day period, then neither party shall have any further obligation to the other with respect to the unacquired Leasehold Facility(ies). Buyer and Seller hereby agree and acknowledge that the Seller’s rights and obligations as tenant pursuant to both the Fremont Lease and the Mansfield Lease are to be assigned by Seller to New Operator and that Buyer shall have no obligations with respect to the Fremont Lease or the Mansfield Lease but that all such obligations, following the assignment thereof, shall be obligations of New Operator to Seller, Fremont Landlord, and Mansfield Landlord, as applicable.

(i) Third Party Consents. Prior to the Close of Escrow, (A) Buyer shall have received all third party consents necessary to effectuate the transfer of the Property to Buyer pursuant to the terms hereof, including, without limitation, all consents required by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority with respect to the acquisition by Buyer of the Facilities and the assignment to Buyer of the Owner Licenses, and (B) New Operator shall have received all Operator Approvals (as defined below). As used in this Agreement, “Operator Approvals” shall mean all third-party consents, approvals, permits, licenses (including, without limitation, nursing home licenses issued by the Department of Health of the State of Ohio), provider agreements, certifications, accreditations, certificates of exemption, waivers, variances or other governmental or “quasi-governmental” authorizations or comparable consents or items from any governmental authority that are (i) a condition of the transfer of operations at the Facilities to New Operator and/or (ii) necessary or advisable in connection with the transfer of operations at the Facilities to New Operator and/or the use and operation of the Facilities by New Operator, and the receipt of regular reimbursement under Medicaid or other third party payor programs by New Operator after the Close of Escrow in the manner in which they are currently being operated; provided, however, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Ohio Department of Health does not issue nursing home licenses prior to or simultaneously with a change of operator, and the Ohio Department of Medicaid does not issue Medicaid provider agreements prior to or simultaneously with a change of operator.

(j) Operations Transfer Agreement. Prior to the Due Diligence Expiration Date, Seller and New Operator shall enter into an Operations Transfer Agreement in form and substance acceptable to Seller, New Operator and Buyer (the “Operations Transfer Agreement”) providing for the transfer of the Operator Property and providing terms and conditions governing the transfer of the operations of the Facilities to New Operator as of the Close of Escrow and the allocation of liabilities in connection therewith as between Seller and New Operator. Seller shall cooperate, and shall cause Current Operator to cooperate, to the extent commercially reasonable, with New Operator’s efforts to have issued to it any and all Operator Approvals, which cooperation efforts shall include, but not be limited to, providing New Operator with any information that is necessary or required in order to submit any change of operator or change of ownership applications for the Facilities in connection with obtaining the Operator Approvals.

(k) Financial Condition; Material Adverse Change. None of the following shall have been done by, against or with respect to Seller or any of its affiliates prior to the Close of Escrow: (i) the commencement of a case under Title 11 of the U.S. Code (as now constituted or hereafter amended) or under any other applicable bankruptcy or other similar law; (ii) the appointment of a trustee

 

12


or receiver of any property interest; (iii) an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (iv) an attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of a substantial property interest; (v) the taking of, failure to take or submission to any action indicating an inability to meet its financial obligations as they accrue; or (vi) a dissolution or liquidation. As used in this Agreement, “affiliate” means any individual or legally recognized entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Seller. As used herein, “control” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct the management and policies of an entity, whether through ownership, voting control, contract or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, prior the Close of Escrow, there shall not have occurred any material deterioration of the operations of any of the Facilities, which is defined as (A) a final and non-appealable loss of licensure or certification status, (B) a material diminution in the insurability of any Facility, (C) operating under a denial of payment for new admissions, (D) any proceeding to revoke or materially limit any license or certification, (E) any ongoing or accruing civil monetary penalty, (F) operating under an immediate jeopardy or Special Focus; or (G) receipt of any notice of an investigation by the Department of Justice, state attorney general’s office, or other similar governmental authority that could lead to any such investigation; provided, however, if at the Close of Escrow, one or more events described in clauses C through F, inclusive, shall have occurred and is continuing with respect to one or more affected Facilities (each, an “Affected Facility”), then, at Buyer’s option (to be exercised by delivery of written notice), the Closing shall proceed as to all Facilities that are not Affected Facilities (each, an “Unaffected Facility”), and, (I) a portion of the Purchase Price applicable to the Affected Facilities (in an amount determined below) (the “Holdback”) shall be held back by Escrow Holder pending cure and subsequent closing of the sale of the Affected Facilities to Buyer, and (II) Seller shall diligently operate the Affected Facilities and cure the disqualifying condition to Buyer’s sole satisfaction. If Seller cures to completion to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction, then the closing of the sale of the Affected Facilities shall occur promptly thereafter substantially in conformity with the terms and provisions set forth herein for the Close of Escrow, and the Holdback shall be released to Seller at such closing. If, however, Seller fails to cure to completion to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction within one hundred eighty (180) days of the initial Close of Escrow, then the Holdback shall be released to Buyer and the parties shall have no further obligation to each other with respect to the Affected Facilities. The Holdback shall be an amount equal to (aa) the Affected Facility’s(ies’) trailing twelve (12) month EBITDAR divided by (bb) 0.95. As used herein, “EBITDAR” shall mean earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, calculated on an accrual basis, and exclusive of any “one-time” or other non-continuing revenue credit or expense deduction.

(l) Insurance. On or prior to the Close of Escrow, and as a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to proceed to the Close of Escrow, Seller shall have delivered to Buyer, and Buyer shall have approved in its commercially reasonable discretion either of the following: (i) the terms of two year tail coverage insurance policies for Seller’s professional and general liability insurance coverage, with fresh coverage limits and deductibles reasonably acceptable to Buyer and naming Buyer and Buyer’s permitted assignees and designees (and such other entities as Buyer may reasonably request) as additional insureds, which Seller shall purchase at Seller’s sole cost and expense to be effective as of the Closing Date (“Seller’s Commercial Tail Coverage”), or (ii) continued insurance coverage under Seller’s existing (as of the Effective Date) professional and general liability insurance coverage plan for a period of not less than two (2) years, including the same coverage limits and deductibles and other provisions reasonably acceptable to Buyer and naming Buyer and Buyer’s permitted assignees and designees (and such other entities as Buyer may reasonably request) as additional insureds (“Seller’s Captive Tail Coverage”). If Seller’s Commercial Tail Coverage is provided: (A) the insurer thereof must be reasonably acceptable to Buyer, and (B) concurrently with the Close of Escrow, Seller shall pay all premiums for Seller’s Commercial Tail Coverage and such coverage shall commence to be in full force and effect as of the Closing Date. If Seller’s Captive Tail Coverage is provided: (1) Seller shall provide to Buyer, effective as of the Closing Date, certificates of insurance meeting the requirements of this Section, (2) Seller shall make, when due, any and all payments for any premiums required to maintain

 

13


Seller’s Captive Tail Coverage through the date that is two (2) years from the Closing Date, (3) Seller’s Captive Tail Coverage shall be in full force and effect through the date that is two (2) years from the Closing Date, and (4) Seller’s Captive Tail Coverage shall be in full force and effect, pursuant to the requirements set forth in this Section, as of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller’s obligations pursuant to this Section 3(l) shall survive the Close of Escrow for a period of two (2) years from the Closing Date.

(m) Committee Approval. On or prior to the Due Diligence Expiration Date, the investment committee of Buyer’s ultimate parent company, CareTrust REIT, Inc., shall have approved the consummation of the transactions that are the subject of this Agreement on the terms and conditions described herein and in the Master Lease.

(n) Indemnity Guaranty. At the Close of Escrow, Seller shall cause to be delivered to Buyer, an Indemnity Guaranty in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Indemnity Guaranty”), duly executed by the Linda Black-Kurek, an individual, and Liberty Nursing Centers Holding Company, Inc., an Ohio corporation (individually, a “Guarantor”; together, “Guarantors”).

(o) Successor Liability Agreement. Prior to the Close of Escrow, Seller shall have provided to Buyer a copy of the fully executed and delivered “Successor Liability Agreement” (as defined in the Operations Transfer Agreement).

3A. Seller Contingencies. Seller’s obligation to sell the Property shall be subject to its approval of each contingency set forth below (collectively, the “Seller Contingencies”) within the time periods indicated below. The Seller Contingencies are for the sole benefit of Seller. The satisfaction of each Seller Contingency is a condition precedent to the Close of Escrow. Seller may approve or disapprove any or all of the documents, materials, items and matters identified in this Section 3A in its sole and absolute discretion, except as otherwise specifically provided below. This Agreement may be terminated upon written notice by Seller: (i) as a result of Seller’s disapproval of any of the contingencies set forth in this Section 3A within the time periods provided for herein, or (ii) by reason of the failure of any condition precedent in favor of Seller as set forth in this Agreement and, following any such termination, the Deposit shall be returned by Escrow Holder to Buyer (unless such failure is caused due to the default of Buyer), and Seller shall deliver any written instructions required by Escrow Holder in connection therewith, and neither party shall have any further liability or obligations under this Agreement, except for those liabilities and obligations that expressly survive a termination of this Agreement.

(a) Agency Debt. Prior to the Close of Escrow, Seller shall receive from each of the Agency Lenders from which consent is required pursuant to the terms of the Agency Debt Documents, written approval for the assignment of the Assumption Debt to Buyer or its assignee or designee, which approval shall not include any conditions not usually and customarily included therein. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Seller Contingency described in this clause (a) must occur prior to the Close of Escrow but is not tied to any specific date and, therefore, other than the outside closing date referred to in Section 4(b) (i.e. December 31, 2015), Seller may not terminate this Agreement for failure of the contingency described in this clause (a) to occur on or before a certain date.

(b) Documents to be Provided by Escrow Holder. At least two (2) business days prior to the scheduled Close of Escrow, but no more than seven (7) business days prior to the scheduled Close of Escrow, Escrow Holder shall prepare and deliver to Buyer and Seller the Closing Statement as of the Close of Escrow.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Seller Contingency described in this clause (b) must occur prior to the Close of Escrow but is not tied to any specific date and, therefore, other than the outside closing date referred to in Section 4(b) (i.e. December 31, 2015), Seller may not terminate this Agreement for failure of the contingency described in this clause (b) to occur on or before a certain date.

3B. Seller Contingencies. Fremont Lease and Mansfield Lease.

In the event Seller thereafter obtains the requisite Lease Estoppels and Consents for either or both previously excluded Leasehold Facilities within one hundred eighty (180) days after the Close of Escrow, then (1) within five (5) business days of Buyer’s receipt of such Lease Estoppel and Consent, New Operator shall submit the requisite applications to obtain the Operator Approvals and Mansfield MTPA, as applicable, and (2) provided such Lease Estoppel and Consent does not disclose any facts objectionable to Buyer in its reasonable discretion, closing for such Leasehold Facility(ies) will occur, subject to the satisfaction of any applicable conditions precedent in favor of Buyer, on the first day of the month following New Operator’s receipt of the MTPA, if applicable, and further provided that the New Operator shall not have received any indication from the State of Ohio that the Operator Approvals will not be received or will not be dated as of the Closing, and Closing shall occur on substantially the same terms and provisions set forth for the Closing otherwise set forth herein, but with a Purchase Price of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) per Leasehold Facility then closing. If Seller fails to obtain the foregoing Lease Estoppel(s) and Consent(s) within such one hundred eighty (180) day period, then neither party shall have any further obligation to the other with respect to the unacquired Leasehold Facility(ies). Buyer and Seller hereby agree and acknowledge that the Seller’s rights and obligations as tenant pursuant to both the Fremont Lease and the Mansfield Lease are to be assigned by Seller to New Operator and that Buyer shall have no obligations with respect to the Fremont Lease or the Mansfield Lease but that all such obligations, following the assignment thereof, shall be obligations of New Operator to Seller, Fremont Landlord, and Mansfield Landlord, as applicable.

(a) Operating Expenses; Taxes. As the Master Lease is a triple net lease and the New Operator is entitled thereunder to all revenue of the Facilities and is liable for all expenses of the Facilities from and after the Close of Escrow, including the payment of real property taxes, there shall be no credits or prorations at the Close of Escrow between Buyer and Seller with respect to the revenues or costs associated with owning or operating the Facilities. As applicable, all such credits and prorations shall be made between Seller and New Operator under terms outside of this Agreement, including, without limitation, in the Operations Transfer Agreement; provided, however, that any credits that are due at Closing from Seller pursuant to the prorations or other provisions of the Operations Transfer Agreement, shall be funded out of Escrow to New Operator from Seller’s proceeds at Closing. With respect to the Fremont Lease and the Mansfield Lease, because Buyer will not be a party to either such lease following the assignment thereof to New Operator, there shall be no prorations as between Buyer and Seller with respect thereto.

The Title Policy shall include the endorsements required by Buyer and shall exclude any stipulation for arbitration. Seller shall execute an affidavit and/or certified resolutions on the Title Company’s standard form so that the Title Company can delete or modify the standard printed exceptions as to Seller’s constituent documents, parties in possession, and unrecorded liens to the extent such liens may be removed by affidavit.

(r) Knowledge. As used in this Agreement, the terms “to Seller’s Knowledge”, “to the Knowledge of Seller”, “known to Seller” or any similar phrase, shall mean the knowledge of Linda Black-Kurek. Seller hereby represents and warrants that the foregoing individual is the representative of Seller most likely to have actual knowledge of the accuracy of the representations and warranties contained in this Section 9.

 

25


(s) Survival. No representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement shall merge into any instrument of conveyance delivered at the Close of Escrow but shall survive the Close of Escrow for a period of one (1) year, with the exception of the representations and warranties made in Sections 9(a), 9(b), 9(g), and 9(m) above, which shall survive the Close of Escrow for a period of two (2) years (as applicable, the “Seller Rep Survival Termination Date”); provided, however, that if Buyer notifies Seller, on or before the sixtieth (60th) day following the Rep Survival Termination Date, of any alleged breach of a representation or warranty occurring prior to the Seller Rep Survival Termination Date (a “Notice of Breach of Seller Rep”), and Buyer thereafter files a lawsuit in connection therewith against Seller within thirty (30) days following the furnishing of said Notice of Breach of Seller Rep, then the applicable Seller Rep Survival Termination Date shall be extended with respect to said representation and warranty until the date on which a final judgment is obtained in said lawsuit, beyond any possibility of appeal. The effect of the representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall not be diminished or deemed to be waived by any inspections, tests or investigations made by Buyer or its agents. Moreover, the provisions of this Section 9 with respect to Hazardous Materials and Environmental Enactments are not intended as, nor shall the same be construed to be, a waiver or release by Buyer of any rights which Buyer may have after the Close of Escrow as to the Property or Seller under any Environmental Enactments.

10. Seller’s Covenants. Seller hereby covenants with Buyer as follows:

(a) Agency Debt; Bank Debt. During the period between Seller’s and Buyer’s execution of this Agreement and the Close of Escrow or termination of this Agreement, Seller shall perform all of its obligations under the Agency Debt Documents and shall not amend any of the Agency Debt Documents without Buyer’s prior written consent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed prior to the Due Diligence Expiration Date, and which consent may be withheld in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion from and after the Due Diligence Expiration Date). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any amendment to the Agency Debt Documents is required by law or by the Agency Lender (a “Required HUD Amendment”), Buyer’s prior written consent thereto shall not be required and the execution of such amendment shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. For an amendment to the Agency Debt Documents to be deemed required by the Agency Lender, the Agency Lender must have the legal right to require Seller to execute such amendment whether or not Seller consents to the same. Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of any Required HUD Amendment and shall provide Buyer with a copy thereof within five (5) days of the mutual execution thereof. If Buyer receives a copy of a Required HUD Amendment, Buyer shall have ten (10) business days (and if necessary, the Close of Escrow shall be extended to provide for such ten (10) business day period) to elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in which case, neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder (other than those obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement) and any money or documents in Escrow shall be returned to the party depositing the same, except that Buyer and Seller shall each be responsible for one-half of any title or Escrow cancellation fee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may only elect to terminate this Agreement following its receipt of a Required HUD Amendment if, in Buyer’s commercially reasonable judgment, the same (x) affects the underlying economics of the Agency Debt, including, without limitation, the interest rate, the principal amortization, prepayment terms or maturity date, (y) imposes any new, or augments any existing, non-monetary obligations under the Agency Debt Documents and the same cannot be wholly assumed by New Operator under the Master Lease, or (z) materially and adversely affects the marketability, salability or value of the Property or any portion thereof. During the period between Seller’s and Buyer’s execution of this Agreement and the Close of Escrow or termination of this Agreement, Seller shall perform all of its obligations under the Bank Debt Documents and shall not amend any of the Bank Debt Documents without Buyer’s prior written consent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed prior to the Due Diligence Expiration Date, and which consent may be withheld in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion from and after the Due Diligence

 

26


Expiration Date); provided, however, that if the Close of Escrow or termination of this Agreement has not occurred at least three (3) months prior to the maturity date of all or a portion of the Bank Debt (the “Maturing Bank Debt”), then Buyer may amend or extend the Bank Debt Documents relating to the Maturing Bank Debt, or may enter into new financing arrangements with respect to the Maturing Bank Debt, upon prior written notice to, but without the prior written consent of, Buyer; provided further, however, that any such amendment or extension shall not include any requirement that the underlying loan require the payment of any pre-payment penalties or premiums in connection with the prepayment thereof.

(b) Mansfield and Fremont Leases. During the period between Seller’s and Buyer’s execution of this Agreement and the Close of Escrow or termination of this Agreement, Seller shall perform all of its obligations under the Mansfield Lease and the Fremont Lease and shall not amend the same without Buyer’s prior written consent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed prior to the Due Diligence Expiration Date, and which consent may be withheld in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion from and after the Due Diligence Expiration Date).

(c) Contracts. During the period between Seller’s execution of this Agreement and the Close of Escrow or termination of this Agreement, Seller shall not, without the prior written consent of Buyer (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed prior to the Due Diligence Expiration Date, and which consent may be withheld in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion from and after the Due Diligence Expiration Date), enter into any Contract that will survive the Close of Escrow or will otherwise affect the use, operation or enjoyment of the Property after the Close of Escrow.

(d) Operation of Property. At all times prior to the Close of Escrow, Seller shall or shall cause Current Operator to (i) operate and manage the Facilities in the ordinary course of its business and consistent with Current Operator’s existing management policies and procedures; (ii) maintain the Facilities in good repair and working order, reasonable wear and tear excepted; and (iii) perform when due all of Seller’s obligations under any deed of trust, mortgage or other lien encumbering the Property, the Contracts, the Licenses and other agreements relating to the Facilities, all in accordance with applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations affecting the Facilities. Except as otherwise provided herein, Seller shall deliver the Facilities at the Close of Escrow in substantially the same condition as they were on the date hereof, reasonable wear and tear excepted. None of the Personal Property shall be removed from the Land or the Improvements, unless replaced by personal property of equal or greater utility and value.

(e) Records. Upon Buyer’s request, and upon reasonable notice by Buyer, for a period of one (1) year after the Close of Escrow, Seller shall make all of its records with respect to the Facilities available during normal business hours to Buyer for inspection and copying at Buyer’s expense by Buyer’s designated representatives.

(f) Post-Closing Audited Financials. Seller hereby agrees that if required by any Agency Lender, Seller shall (at its sole cost and expense) timely provide its audited financials for the calendar year in which the Close of Escrow occurs to Buyer and such Agency Lender, which audited financials shall conform to the then applicable requirements of HUD.

(g) Exclusivity. During the pendency of the Escrow and until the Escrow and this Agreement are terminated as provided herein, Seller shall not market (or permit to be marketed) the Property to any person other than Buyer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, during such period of time Seller shall not offer (or permit to be offered) the Property for sale, discuss the terms of any possible sale of the Property with any person, accept or discuss back-up offers or list the Property with any brokers. As used in the foregoing, a “sale” shall include any long term lease or joint venture or equity participating loan.

 

27


(h) Review Right. During the period prior to the Close of Escrow, upon reasonable notice to Seller, Buyer shall have the right to review Seller’s records during normal business hours to verify any information provided by Seller to Buyer or to confirm Seller’s compliance with its representations, warranties and covenants as contained herein. Unless otherwise agreed by Seller in writing, such review shall not take place at the Facilities, and shall take place off-site.

(i) Survival. The liability of Seller for a breach of any covenant shall not be merged into any instrument of conveyance delivered at the Close of Escrow and shall survive the Close of Escrow for a period of one (1) year (the “Covenant Survival Termination Date”); provided, however, that if Buyer notifies Seller, on or before the sixtieth (60th) day following the Covenant Survival Termination Date, of any alleged breach of a covenant occurring prior to the Covenant Survival Termination Date (a “Notice of Breach of Covenant”), and Buyer thereafter files a lawsuit in connection therewith against Seller within ninety (90) days following the furnishing of said Notice of Breach of Covenant, then the applicable Covenant Survival Termination Date shall be extended with respect to said covenant until the date on which a final judgment is obtained in said lawsuit, beyond any possibility of appeal. The covenants and survival periods set forth herein shall not be deemed or construed as limiting, waiving or relinquishing any statutory or common law right or remedy, and the effect of the covenants made in this Agreement shall not be diminished or deemed to be satisfied by any inspections, tests or investigations made by Buyer or its agents.

10A. Buyer’s Covenants. Buyer hereby covenants with Seller as follows:

(a) TPA Application. Within forty-five (45) days after the Opening of Escrow, and subject to Seller’s cooperation obligations set forth in this Agreement, Buyer and New Operator shall promptly apply and shall diligently pursue to receive from each of the Agency Lenders from which consent is required pursuant to the terms of the Agency Debt Documents, written approval for the assumption of the Assumption Debt and the obtaining of the Mansfield MTPA (collectively, the “HUD Approvals”). For the avoidance of doubt, obtaining the Mansfield MTPA is a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligations with respect to the Mansfield Facility. Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate, and to cause Current Operator to cooperate, with Buyer and New Operator in connection with the foregoing. Buyer shall provide Seller with regular updates of the status of the HUD Approvals process.

(b) Notice Regarding Representations. Buyer shall promptly advise Sellers in writing whenever Buyer obtains actual knowledge that any of Buyer’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement becomes materially untrue.

(c) Records. Upon Seller’s request, and upon reasonable notice by Seller, for a period of one (1) year after the Close of Escrow, Buyer shall make all records with respect to the Facilities for the period prior to the Close of Escrow available during normal business hours to Seller for inspection and copying by Seller’s designated representatives.

(d) Survival. The liability of Buyer for a breach of any covenant shall not be merged into any instrument of conveyance delivered at the Close of Escrow and shall survive the Close of Escrow for the Covenant Survival Termination Date; provided, however, that if Seller notifies Buyer, on or before the sixtieth (60th) day following the Covenant Survival Termination Date, of any Notice of Breach of Covenant, and Seller thereafter files a lawsuit in connection therewith against Buyer within ninety (90) days following the furnishing of said Notice of Breach of Covenant, then the applicable

 

28


Covenant Survival Termination Date shall be extended with respect to said covenant until the date on which a final judgment is obtained in said lawsuit, beyond any possibility of appeal. The covenants and survival periods set forth herein shall not be deemed or construed as limiting, waiving or relinquishing any statutory or common law right or remedy.

11. Right to Enter Property. Commencing on the Opening of Escrow, and continuing thereafter until the Due Diligence Expiration Period, Buyer and its agents and contractors shall have the right, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, to enter onto the Facilities at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner for the purpose of making the following tests and inspections: the Surveys; phase I environmental inspections; appraisals; and physical plant inspections (collectively, the “Permitted Inspections”). If the Permitted Inspections reveal one or more conditions that necessitate additional tests and inspections, then the parties shall mutually agree upon the frequency and timing of such additional tests and inspections, which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned. All site visits will be scheduled with Ms. Black-Kurek (via email at ***@***) with no less than forty-eight (48) hours prior notice. Seller shall at no cost to Seller assist Buyer in arranging such tests and inspections. Buyer shall not unreasonably disturb or annoy any Residents in the course of making such tests and inspections and/or interviews. After making such tests and inspections, Buyer shall restore the Facilities to their respective conditions prior to such tests and inspections. Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller from any loss, damage, costs or expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) incurred by Seller by reason of any actual physical damage to the Facilities or injury to persons caused by Buyer or its agents or contractors in exercising its rights hereunder. Such indemnity shall in no event extend to any costs or damages with respect to any claims of diminution in the value of the Facilities. Such indemnity shall survive the Close of Escrow or earlier termination of this Agreement for a period of one (1) year. As a condition to the Close of Escrow (solely for the benefit of Buyer), Buyer and its agents and contractors shall have the right to enter (subject to the terms and provisions of this Section 0) onto the Facilities to determine that the condition of the Facilities, with respect to the contingencies set forth in Section 3, has not materially and adversely changed from the date of the approval of such contingencies. Neither Buyer nor any of Buyer’s agents and contractors shall contact any Facility or Facility employee without the prior written consent of Ms. Black-Kurek, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Buyer and New Operator will have contact with each Facility’s administrator during the Permitted Inspections and visits permitted under this Section 11; provided, however, that neither Buyer nor New Operator shall disclose the transaction contemplated by this Agreement during such Permitted Inspections and visits.

12. Loss by Fire, Other Casualty or Condemnation. If prior to the Close of Escrow, the Facilities, or any material part thereof, are destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty, or is subject to a taking by a public authority, then Buyer shall have the right, exercisable by giving notice to Seller within fifteen (15) days after receiving written notice of such damage or destruction or taking (and if necessary, the Close of Escrow shall be postponed to provide for such 15-day period) to do either of the following: (a) terminate this Agreement, in which case neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder (other than those obligations that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement) and any money or documents in Escrow shall be returned to the party depositing the same, except that Buyer and Seller shall each be responsible for one-half of any title or Escrow cancellation fee; (b) accept the Property in its then condition and proceed to close this transaction with an abatement or reduction in the Purchase Price in the amount of the deductible for the applicable insurance coverage, if any, and to receive an assignment of all of Seller’s rights to any insurance proceeds payable by reason of such damage or destruction or condemnation awards payable by reason of such taking; or (c) exclude the destroyed, damaged or condemned Facility(ies) from the definition of “Property” and proceed to close this transaction with respect to the remainder of the Property and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the removed Facility’s trailing twelve (12) month EBITDAR divided by 0.95. If Buyer elects to proceed under clause (b) above, Seller shall not compromise, settle or adjust any claims to

 

29


such proceeds or awards without Buyer’s prior written consent. For the purposes hereof, a “material” destruction, damage, or taking shall mean, with respect to any Facility, any destruction, damage, or taking the effect of which would be to require more than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) to repair or restore the Facility. If a destruction, damage, or taking is not “material”, then Buyer shall elect to proceed under clause (b) above, and Seller shall not compromise, settle or adjust any claims to such proceeds or awards without Buyer’s prior written consent. Seller agrees to give Buyer prompt notice of any taking, damage or destruction of the Property.

13. Indemnification. Subject to Sections 8(f), 9(s), 10(i), and 10A(d), Seller and Buyer hereby agree to indemnify and hold free and harmless the other (including such other party’s officers, directors, employees, advisors, accountants, attorneys, partners, shareholders and any other person having a direct or indirect ownership interest in such other party) from and against any losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Losses”)) resulting from any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of the indemnifying party or any breach or default by such indemnifying party under any of such indemnifying party’s covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement. Seller’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement shall also include, without limitation, the costs of defense and any Losses incurred by Buyer (or its officers, directors, employees, advisors, accountants, attorneys, or shareholders) in connection with any claims brought against Buyer by any prior potential purchaser of the Property (or any portion thereof) for interference with contractual relations or any similar claim (a “Prior Party Claim”); provided, however, subject to the rights of or duties to any insurer or other third person having liability therefor, Seller shall have the right promptly after receipt of notice of a Prior Party Claim to, at Seller’s cost, assume the control of the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim, including, at Seller’s own expense, employment of counsel to jointly represent Seller and Buyer, which such counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to both Seller and Buyer. If Buyer desires to retain separate counsel to represent Buyer with respect to a Prior Party Claim, Buyer may do so at Buyer’s own expense. Seller shall deliver, or caused to be delivered, to Buyer through Escrow, at Close of Escrow, the Indemnity Guaranty, duly executed by the Guarantors. Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Indemnity Guaranty, the Guarantors shall guaranty the payment and performance by Seller of its indemnification obligations set forth in this Section 13. No party hereto shall have any liability under this Agreement for any punitive damages relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the aggregate amount of liability of Seller and Current Operator pursuant to this Agreement and the Operations Transfer Agreement shall not exceed $17,500,000 (the “Indemnity Cap”); provided, however, that Buyer’s (or New Operator’s) recovery for losses with respect to the following claims (or types of claims) shall not be limited by, or subject to, the Indemnity Cap: (i) a breach by Seller or Current Operator under the Successor Liability Agreement, and (ii) Seller’s or Current Operator’s failure to comply with its obligations under Section 6.2.1 of the Operations Transfer Agreement. Similarly, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the aggregate amount of liability of Buyer pursuant to this Agreement shall not exceed $17,500,000. Furthermore, following the Close of Escrow (but subject to the provisions of the following sentence), the sole and exclusive remedy of either party for any Losses resulting from any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of the indemnifying party or any breach or default by such indemnifying party under any of such indemnifying party’s covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement shall be strictly limited to the indemnities contained in this Section 13, and, subject to the occurrence of the Close of Escrow, each party hereby waives, releases and agrees not to assert any other claim, whether arising by statute, common law or otherwise, in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Buyer or Seller may, without reference to or otherwise being bound by the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, (a) bring an action for intentional fraud against the other; and/or (b) seek any equitable remedies to which it may be entitled under this Agreement.

 

30


14. Broker’s Commission. Buyer and Seller each represent to the other that, except with respect to the services of CBRE, Inc. engaged by Seller (for which Seller shall be responsible to pay), they have not entered into any agreement or incurred any obligation which might result in the obligation to pay a sales or brokerage commission or finder’s fee with respect to this transaction. Buyer and Seller each agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) which the other may incur as a result of any claim made by any person to a right to a sales or brokerage commission or finder’s fee in connection with this transaction to the extent such claim is based, or purportedly based, on the acts or omissions of Seller or Buyer, as the case may be. The obligations of Buyer and Seller under this Section 14 shall survive the Close of Escrow.

15. Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals or other communications (any of the foregoing, a “Notice”) required, permitted or desired to be given hereunder shall be in writing and sent by (a) confirmed facsimile transmission, (b) registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, (c) delivered by hand or (d) reputable overnight courier, addressed to the party to be so notified at its address hereinafter set forth, or to such other address as such party may hereafter specify in accordance with the provisions of this Section 15. Any Notice sent via method (a) shall be deemed delivered upon receipt by sender of a confirmation of transmission, provided such Notice was transmitted on or prior to 6:00 PM sender’s local time and a copy is concurrently (or as soon thereafter as possible) sent by another method provided herein. Any notice delivered by method (b), (c) or (d) shall be deemed to have been received on the date of delivery if delivered on or prior to 6:00 PM recipient’s local time on a business day (otherwise on the next business day), in each case addressed to the parties as follows:

16. Miscellaneous Provisions.

(a) Incorporation of Prior Agreements. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of Buyer and Seller with respect to the subject matter hereof, and no prior or contemporaneous written or oral agreement or understanding pertaining to any such matter shall be effective for any purpose. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or added to except by an agreement in writing, expressly stating that such agreement is an amendment of this Agreement, signed by the parties to this Agreement or their respective successors in interest.

(b) Buyer’s Right to Assign. Except as otherwise set forth herein, neither party shall have the right to assign its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following delivery of written notice to Seller, Buyer may, at least three (3) days prior to the Close of Escrow, assign all or any of its right, title and interest under this Agreement to CareTrust REIT, Inc., a Maryland Corporation (“CareTrust”) or to any corporate or partnership entity affiliated with, or related to, CareTrust (any such entity, an “Affiliate”), or to any corporate or partnership entity in which CareTrust or an Affiliate is a partner, co-venturer, shareholder or member No such assignee shall accrue any obligations or liabilities hereunder until the effective date of such assignment. In the event of an assignment of this Agreement by Buyer, its assignee shall be deemed to be the Buyer hereunder for all purposes hereof, and shall have all rights of Buyer hereunder (including, but not limited to, the right of further assignment consistent with the terms of this Section 16(b)), provided the assignor shall not be released from all liability hereunder. At Closing, Buyer may also elect to cause all or any part of the Property to be directly assigned or conveyed by Seller to, or all or any of the liabilities to be assumed hereunder to be directly assumed by, as applicable, one or more designee or assignee of Buyer, including, but not limited to, New Operator.

(c) [Intentionally Omitted.]

(d) Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence for this Agreement.

(e) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto and to their respective transferees, successors and permitted assigns.

(f) No Personal Liability or Third Party Beneficiaries. In addition to any limitation on liability provided by law or any other agreement or instrument, no advisor, trustee, director, officer, employee, accountant, attorney, beneficiary, shareholder, partner, participant or agent of or in Buyer or Seller shall have any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with this Agreement or the transaction contemplated hereunder. The parties, their respective successors and assigns and all third parties shall look solely to the applicable party’s assets for the payment of any claim or any performance, and the parties hereby waive all such personal liability. This Agreement is made and entered into solely for the protection and benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. No other person shall have any right of action hereunder.

(g) Governing Law; Choice of Forum. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of Ohio without giving effect to any “conflict of law” rules of such state. Buyer and Seller each acknowledge and agree that the state and associated federal courts in and for Montgomery County, Ohio, shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and decide any dispute, controversy or litigation regarding the enforceability or validity of this Agreement or any portion thereof.

 

32


(h) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument. Executed copies hereof may be delivered by facsimile, email or other electronic means and upon receipt will be deemed originals and binding upon the parties hereto, regardless of whether originals are delivered thereafter.

(i) Interpretation; Construction. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be valid under applicable law, but, if any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or prohibited thereunder, such invalidity or prohibition shall be construed as if such invalid or prohibited provision had not been inserted herein and shall not affect the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. The language in all parts of this Agreement shall be in all cases construed simply according to its fair meaning and not strictly against the party that drafted such language. Section and paragraph headings of this Agreement are solely for convenience of reference and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

(j) Exhibits; Schedule; Recitals Verified. All Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto are incorporated herein by reference. The Recitals to this Agreement are hereby stated to be true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference.

(k) Waiver by a Party. The waiver of any contingency, representation, warranty, covenant, or other matter or provision hereof may only be made by the party benefited by the same, and the waiver must be in writing, must be signed by the benefited party and must specifically state which matter is being waived.

(l) Further Assurances. In addition to the actions recited herein and contemplated to be performed, executed and/or delivered hereunder, Buyer and Seller agree to perform, execute and/or deliver or cause to be performed, executed and/or delivered any and all such further acts, instruments and assurances as may be reasonably required to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

(m) Injunctive and Equitable Relief; Liquidated Damages. Seller and Buyer hereby agree that the Property is of a special and unique character which gives it a peculiar value, and that Buyer cannot reasonably or adequately be compensated in damages in an action at law if Seller breaches its obligation to sell the Property to Buyer. Therefore, Seller expressly agrees that Buyer shall be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief (including, without limitation, the right to specifically enforce Seller’s obligation to sell the Property to Buyer) in the event of such breach in addition to any other rights or remedies which may be available to Buyer. If the Closing fails to occur due to the breach of this Agreement by Buyer and such breach is not cured within ten (10) days after notice to Buyer, then Seller’s sole remedy in such event shall be to terminate this Agreement and to receive the Deposit as liquidated damages, Seller waiving all other rights or remedies in the event of such default by Buyer. The parties acknowledge that Seller’s actual damages in the event of a breach by Buyer under this Agreement will be difficult to ascertain, and that such liquidated damages represent the parties’ best estimate of such damages.

(n) Business Days. As used in this Agreement, a “business day” shall mean a day other than Saturday, Sunday or any day on which banking institutions in Los Angeles, California are authorized by law or other governmental action to close. All other references to “days” or “calendar days” in this Agreement shall refer to calendar days. If any period expires or delivery date falls on a date that is not a business day under this Agreement, such period shall be deemed to expire and such delivery date shall be deemed to fall on the immediately succeeding business day.

 

33


(o) Survival. Any covenants, representations or indemnities set forth in Sections 8, 9, 10, 10A, 13, 14 and 16(p) of this Agreement shall survive the Close of Escrow or any termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that the respective period of survival of each of such covenants, representations or indemnities shall be solely as provided in the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

(p) Confidentiality. Neither Buyer, Seller, nor any broker employed or engaged by any of them shall issue (or cause to be issued) any press releases or other publicly-available disclosures or otherwise make disclosures to any unrelated third parties concerning the subject matter hereof, structure of the transactions or the status of negotiations conducted hereunder except as may be jointly agreed to by Seller and Buyer or as any of them may reasonably consider necessary in order to satisfy the requirements of applicable law; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer may, free from the restrictions of this Section 16(p), report on the transaction completed by this Agreement in connection with: (i) any investor call concerning Buyer’s earnings or financial performance, (ii) any filings or disclosures or releases required to be made to the Securities and Exchange Commission or state securities’ commission in accordance with applicable law or customarily made in connection therewith, or (iii) any meetings or conference calls with, or disclosures made to, Buyer’s consultants, contractors, investors, principals, employees, agents, attorneys, accountants and other advisors who need to know such information. Seller may, free from the restrictions of this Section 16(p), report on the subject matter of this Agreement or the structure of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement in connection with any meetings or conference calls with, or disclosures made to, Seller’s consultants, contractors, investors, principals, employees, agents, attorneys, accountants and other advisors who need to know such information. The foregoing restrictions shall survive the Close of Escrow for twelve (12) months. Following the Closing, Buyer may make a press release regarding the transaction with the prior written approval of Seller, which such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided, however, that Seller’s failure to deliver to Buyer written approval or rejection of a proposed press release within twenty-four (24) hours of receipt from Buyer shall be deemed to be Seller’s approval of any such press release.

(q) Joint and Several. The obligations of Seller hereunder shall be joint and several in every respect. If Buyer delivers notice to one Seller hereunder, such notice shall be deemed delivered to each Seller. The actions of any one Seller shall be binding on each other Seller and Buyer shall be entitled to rely on any such action, even if not specifically unanimous.
