On the Closing Date of the Facility pursuant to the terms of the Venture Agreement or as otherwise agreed to by the parties, Montecito shall cause the Montecito Partner to fund the Montecito Capital Commitment, subject to the provisions of Section 2.2(d) below with respect to the Montecito Deposit as defined therein. Montecito Partner’s initial equity contribution related to the Facility may be comprised of cash and the contribution of certain due diligence and pre-acquisition costs incurred by Montecito or its Affiliates in connection with due diligence relating to the acquisition of the Facility and with the preparation and execution of the Real Estate Contract for the Facility.

(b) CHP Capital Commitment. Except as otherwise agreed by Montecito and CHP pursuant to the Venture Agreement, the aggregate commitment of CHP Partner to the Venture is anticipated to be approximately Six Million Five Hundred Fifty-Eight Thousand Seven Hundred Fifty Dollars ($6,558,750) based on CHP Partner’s pro rata share of the anticipated purchase price for the Facility, taking into consideration anticipating financing, plus CHP’s share of anticipated acquisition costs and initial working capital reserves (the “CHP Capital Commitment” and, together with the Montecito Capital Commitment, the “Capital Commitments”).

The parties understand and acknowledge that only a portion of the Capital Commitments of the Montecito Partner and the CHP Partner may be due on the Closing Date of the Facility or if the parties agree the Capital Commitments of Montecito Partner and CHP Partner may instead be advanced only when the funds are needed for the Facility.

(d) Deposit on Real Estate Contract. Each of Montecito and CHP acknowledge that the Facility Seller has required a deposit in the aggregate amount of Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000) (“Deposit”) payable under the terms of the Real Estate Contract, such Deposit having already been deposited by Montecito and an Affiliate of Montecito with the Escrow Holder (as defined in the Real Estate Contract) in accordance with the Real Estate Contract. At the option of Montecito, at Closing, CHP shall reimburse Montecito for CHP’s pro rata share of the Deposit (“CHP Deposit Share”), in which event, such reimbursement by CHP shall be considered part of the CHP Capital Commitment, or the entire Deposit shall be deemed part of the Montecito Capital Commitment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following Approval by CHP, CHP shall reimburse Montecito for that portion of the CHP Deposit Share that is non-refundable by Seller if the Venture is not formed and does not acquire the Facility because CHP does not enter into the Venture other than due to (i) breach by the Facility Seller, (ii) the failure of the Venture to obtain CHP approved financing for the acquisition of the Facility other than due to breach by CHP or (iii) breach by Montecito or MMIC, in any of which events Montecito shall bear the entire risk of loss of any portion of the Deposit that is non-refundable by Seller. Other than as set forth above, Montecito acknowledges and agrees that as between Montecito and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and CHP, on the other hand, Montecito and its Affiliates shall bear the entire risk of loss of any non-refundable portion of the Deposit.
