All defects, encumbrances, encroachments, or other objections to title that are shown in the Title Commitment or the Surveys and which Seller has not in this Agreement or in a separate writing expressly agreed to remove, shall be deemed “Permitted Exceptions.” If, prior to Closing, any update to the Title Commitment or the Surveys shows any new defects, encumbrances, encroachments or other objections to title that are not Permitted Exceptions (the “New Defects”), Purchaser shall notify Seller within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of any such update (the “Updated Title Notice”). Any New Defects that are not timely objected to in an Updated Title Notice shall be deemed “Permitted Exceptions.” Any New Defects which are timely objected to by Purchaser in the Updated Title Notice shall be deemed “Non-Permitted Title Objections” and subject to Section 4(c) below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller will not voluntarily create any additional title encumbrances without the Purchaser’s prior written consent as set forth in Section 7(a) hereof.

(b)      Status of Title. Seller shall deliver, and Purchaser shall accept, title to the Property and consummate the Transactions subject to Permitted Exceptions.

(c)      Non-Permitted Title Objections.

(i)      If, on the Closing Date, any Real Property is affected by any monetary lien of an ascertainable amount, encumbrance, defect, encroachment or other objection to title which is not a Permitted Exception (collectively, “Non-Permitted Title Objections”), then, in such event, upon the mutual agreement of Seller and Purchaser, Seller shall be entitled to extend the Closing Date for up to thirty (30) days if Seller, at Seller’s election, chooses to remove or satisfy one or more Non-Permitted Title Objections (an “Objection Extension”).

(ii)     Seller shall not be required to bring any action or proceeding, or to otherwise incur any expense, to remove or discharge a Non-Permitted Title Objection unless Seller elects to remove or satisfy it, whether pursuant to the Title Notice or other written communication delivered to Purchaser. If there shall be any Non-Permitted Title Objections that Seller elects not to remove or discharge, Seller must notify Purchaser in writing (the “Seller’s Notice”) of Seller’s election within five (5) Business Days of Seller’s discovery or receipt of notification of such Non-Permitted Title Objections (“Seller’s Notice Period”). If Seller fails to provide the Seller’s Notice to Purchaser during the Seller’s Notice Period, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to remove or discharge the Non-Permitted Title Objections.

 

-12-


(iii)      If Seller elects not to cure a Non-Permitted Title Objection, Purchaser may elect either: (1) to terminate this Agreement by giving notice to Seller within five (5) Business Days after receipt of Seller’s Notice; or (2) to take title subject to the Non-Permitted Title Objection with no abatement or reduction of the Purchase Price. If Purchaser fails to timely elect one of these options after receiving Seller’s Notice, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate the Agreement pursuant to option (1) herein.

(iv)      If Seller elects to cure a Non-Permitted Title Objection, Seller shall do so at its sole cost and expense. If Seller fails to cure such a Non-Permitted Objection by the Closing Date (as may be extended pursuant to this Agreement), Purchaser may elect either: (1) to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to Seller, in which event Purchaser shall receive a return of the Deposit and, if the Non-Permitted Title Objection is a monetary lien of an ascertainable amount or a Non-Permitted Title Objection that Seller has expressly agreed in writing to remove and Seller has failed to use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause such removal, then Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for all reasonable, actual, third party, out of pocket costs incurred by Purchaser in connection with the Transactions and the Related Agreements, which amount shall not exceed the Purchaser’s Out of Pocket Cost Cap unless such failure is the result of a wrongful failure to cure such Non-Permitted Title Objection by the Seller, in which event no cap shall apply; or (2) to take title subject to the Non-Permitted Title Objection with no abatement or reduction of the Purchase Price (in which event, such formerly Non-Permitted Title Objection shall be deemed to be a Permitted Exception for all purposes hereunder). Anything in this Section 4(c) to the contrary notwithstanding, an attempt by Seller to remove or discharge any Non-Permitted Title Objection shall not be deemed to be, or to create, an obligation of Seller to remove or discharge the same unless Seller has otherwise expressly agreed to do so in writing.

(v)      The foregoing provisions of this Section 4(c) to the contrary notwithstanding, Seller agrees to remove or discharge (x) any voluntary monetary liens, including without limitation, the existing mortgage financing documents, and (y) any Non-Permitted Title Objections voluntarily created by or through Seller after the Due Diligence Deadline.

(d)      Tests and Inspections.

(i)      From the Effective Date and continuing until the Closing, Purchaser or Purchaser’s Designees shall have the right to enter, upon reasonable prior notice to Seller (not less than two (2) Business Days) and during normal business hours, each Real Property, while this Agreement remains in full force and effect, for the purpose of conducting such inspections, measurements, surveys, studies, investigations, analyses and other tests, relating to all aspects of the Property, including, without limitation, a close review and analysis of the Diligence Materials, as Purchaser deems appropriate (collectively, the “Tests”).

(ii)     Purchaser’s access to the Property shall be subject to the following: (A) Seller shall have the option to have an agent or employee accompany Purchaser at all times during its investigation or inspection of the Property; (B) Purchaser shall have the right to meet and interview upon two (2) Business Days’ notice, with Seller present if Seller so elects, any managers or employees of Seller to discuss the Facilities and the Business, including the revenues, expenses, operation, and physical condition of the Facilities and the Business; (C) Purchaser shall conduct the Tests in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the operations of the Facilities and Purchaser shall coordinate all visits to the Facilities in order to minimize the number of visits required insofar as it is reasonably possible to

 

-13-


do so; (D) Purchaser shall not conduct any invasive testing without the Seller’s prior written consent, which consent shall be granted or withheld in Sellers’ sole and absolute discretion; (E) Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller (and Seller’s manager) from and against all costs, claims, damages, or liabilities incurred by Seller (or Seller’s manager) in connection with or by reason of any damage, death, or injury to any person or property occurring in connection with the Tests (other than any Liability incurred in connection with or by reason of Seller’s actions or Purchaser’s mere discovery of any existing condition, including, without limitation, any Hazardous Materials, except to the extent that Purchaser’s actions or omissions exacerbate any such condition and then Purchaser shall only be liable to the extent such condition is exacerbated by the Purchaser’s acts or omissions), which indemnity shall survive the expiration or any earlier termination of this Agreement; and (F) Purchaser’s delivering to Seller evidence of commercial general liability insurance in the amount of Three Million and No/100 Dollars ($3,000,000.00), in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Seller, and naming Seller as an additional insured thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser obtains a Phase I environmental report with respect to the Property that recommends that Phase II environmental testing be performed, then Purchaser shall have the right to perform such testing subject to Seller’s reasonable approval of the scope, means and location of such testing. Without limiting the generality of the indemnity obligation in subsection (E) of this Section 4(d)(ii), Purchaser shall (i) remove any mechanics’ or other lien which may be recorded against the Property (or any part thereof) by any party providing labor, materials, or services at the request of Purchaser, and (ii) not file or cause to be filed any application or make any request (other than general inquiries regarding the Property and inquiries of the public records) with any governmental or quasi-governmental agency prior to Closing which would or could lead to an investigation or hearing before any governmental or quasi-governmental agency, or which would or could lead to a violation of applicable law or any change in zoning, parcelization, licenses, permits, or other entitlements, or to any investigation or restriction on the use of the Property or any part thereof; provided, however, that Purchaser shall be entitled to submit applications to the applicable governmental and quasi-governmental agencies for the Required Governmental Approvals. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Purchaser may contact governmental and quasi-governmental authorities in regard to land use and licensing matters to extent: required pursuant to customary due diligence practices; involving licensing of the new operators for any part of the Property; or involving the operation of any part of the Property, the Facilities, or the Business. If Purchaser discovers that further communications with governmental or quasi-governmental authorities are required that go beyond customary due diligence practices and inquiries, Purchaser will provide Seller with two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice before commencing such communications, with Seller present for such communications if Seller so elects.

(iii)      Purchaser shall have the right to cancel this Agreement in its sole and absolute discretion, for any reason (including any title or survey concerns) or no reason (with respect to the entire Property), on or before the Due Diligence Deadline by written notice given to Seller on or before Due Diligence Deadline. If Purchaser duly cancels this Agreement in accordance herewith, this Agreement shall be deemed terminated and of no further force or effect, except for the provisions expressly stated to survive termination, and the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser. If Purchaser does not duly cancel this Agreement in accordance with this subparagraph or if Purchaser waives its right to cancel this Agreement pursuant to written notice thereof given to Seller, (i) this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and Purchaser shall have no further right to cancel this Agreement under this Section and (ii) Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived any liability of Seller and any right to refuse to consummate the Closing by reason of any condition known to Purchaser as of the Due Diligence Deadline with respect to the Property, the Facility or the Business, including, without limitation, a misrepresentation known to Purchaser, Non-Permitted Title Objection (other than those which Seller has agreed or is otherwise obligated to cure) or any other condition.

 

-14-


(iv)      All information obtained by Purchaser or its representatives relating to the Property, the Business or the Transactions contemplated hereby shall be treated as confidential information. Purchaser shall not disclose any information obtained by Purchaser, including, without limitation, the results of environmental inspections or analysis, to any party (other than the Seller) without obtaining Seller’s prior written consent, except that Purchaser may disclose such information to its consultants, attorneys, prospective manager of the Property, and prospective lenders engaged in the review of same. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have the right to disclose confidential information to third parties if such disclosure is required by an order of a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise required by any applicable law (including, but not limited to, regulations and any other requirements promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission), provided that Purchaser delivers reasonable advance notice thereof to Seller. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 4(d)(iii), then, upon Seller’s request, Purchaser shall promptly thereafter deliver to Seller copies of all Purchaser Commissioned Reports which Seller requests, without representation or warranty whatsoever as to the completeness or accuracy thereof or liability for any amounts which may be due in connection therewith, all at no additional cost to the Seller. Purchaser shall not be required to deliver any Purchaser Commissioned Reports in Purchaser’s possession or under its control relating to the Property unless Seller has sent to Purchaser a written request for such information.

(e)      Management Agreement.  This Agreement is contingent, subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 4(e), upon Purchaser and an affiliate of Capital Health Group Management, LLC (“CHG Management”) entering into and delivering to the Escrow Agent a Management Agreement in form and substance agreed upon by Purchaser and CHG Management (“Management Agreement”) prior to the Due Diligence Deadline. If Purchaser and CHG Management have not executed and delivered the Management Agreement to Escrow Agent as provided in the preceding sentence, each of Seller and Purchaser shall have the right to cancel this Agreement on or before the Due Diligence Deadline by written notice given to the other on or before Due Diligence Deadline. If either party duly cancels this Agreement in accordance with this Section 4(e), this Agreement shall be deemed terminated and of no further force or effect, except for the provisions expressly stated to survive termination, and the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser. If Purchaser or Seller does not timely cancel this Agreement in accordance with this Section 4(e) or if Purchaser and CHG Management execute and deliver the Management Agreement to the Escrow Agent on or prior to the Due Diligence Deadline, (i) this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and Purchaser shall have no further right to cancel this Agreement under this Section 4(e), and (ii) Purchaser and Seller shall be deemed to have waived any right to refuse to consummate the Closing or any liability of Seller arising out of or in connection with the Management Agreement.

(f)      Option Agreement.  This Agreement is contingent, subject to, and in accordance with the terms of this Section 4(f), upon Purchaser and the Option Property Owners entering into and delivering to Escrow Agent an Option Agreement in form and substance agreed upon by Purchaser and the Option Property Owners with respect to the Option Properties (the “Option Agreement”) prior to the Due Diligence Deadline. If Purchaser and the Option Property Owners have not executed and delivered the Option Agreement to Escrow Agent as provided in the preceding sentence, Purchaser shall have the right to cancel this Agreement on or before the Due Diligence Deadline by written notice given to Seller on or before Due Diligence Deadline. If Purchaser duly cancels this Agreement in accordance with

 

-15-


this Section 4(f), this Agreement shall be deemed terminated and of no further force or effect, except for the provisions expressly stated to survive termination, and the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser. If Purchaser does not duly cancel this Agreement in accordance herewith, or if Purchaser and the Option Property Owners execute and deliver the Option Agreement to the Escrow Agent on or prior to the Due Diligence Deadline, (i) this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and Purchaser shall have no further right to cancel this Agreement under this Section 4(f), and (ii) Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived any right to refuse to consummate the Closing or any liability of Seller arising out of or in connection with the Option Agreement. Purchaser shall, and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Option Property Owners to, negotiate the terms and provisions of the Option Agreement in good-faith, and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Option Properties Owners to enter into the Option Agreement prior to the Due Diligence Deadline.

(g)      On the Closing Date, the applicable Service Contracts approved (or deemed approved) by Purchaser during the Due Diligence Period, together with the Commercial Leases and Residency Agreements, shall be assigned by Seller and assumed by Purchaser as of the Closing Date pursuant to documents set forth in Sections 10(a)(viii) and (ix) below, with Purchaser being responsible for the payment of any fee or other charge imposed by any party in connection with such transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on or before the date which is five (5) Business Days prior to the Due Diligence Deadline, Purchaser shall identify in writing to Seller which of the Service Contracts set forth on Schedule 2 that Purchaser agrees to assume; provided, however, that Seller shall not be obligated to terminate any, and Purchaser shall assume all, Service Contracts that are not terminable by their terms or which require the payment of a penalty upon termination, each of which Service Contracts the Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved. Seller shall terminate disapproved items at its sole cost and expense as of the Closing Date. For avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall not be responsible for the obligations under any Service Contracts that are not assigned to Purchaser pursuant to the documents set forth in Sections 10(a)(viii) and (ix) below.

5.      Conditions to Closing.

(a)      Seller shall not be obligated to proceed with Closing unless and until each of the following conditions (the “Seller’s Closing Conditions”) have been fulfilled:

(i)       Seller’s reasonable satisfaction that there is no material pending or threatened litigation from any third party regarding the parties’ ability to consummate the Transactions;

(ii)      Purchaser shall have (1) paid to Seller, or (2) deposited with Escrow Agent with irrevocable written direction to disburse, the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement, subject to the allocations, adjustments, and pro-rations contemplated by this Agreement.

(iv)     The other covenants and obligations of Purchaser in this Agreement shall have been performed in all material respects.

 

-16-


(v)      Concurrently with the Closing, Purchaser (and/or its Affiliates), and the Related Property Sellers shall consummate the closings set forth in the Related Agreements.

If any applicable Seller’s Closing Condition is not satisfied at Closing (a “Seller’s Closing Condition Failure”), and, as applicable, Purchaser fails to cure such condition failure within fifteen (15) days after written notice is delivered to Purchaser by Seller (excepting a failure to deliver the Purchase Price at Closing for which there shall be no cure period), then Seller shall have the right, in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion (unless such Seller’s Closing Condition Failure was caused by or was otherwise within the reasonable discretion or control of Seller), either: (i) to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to Purchaser, in which case the Deposit shall be disbursed to Seller in accordance with Section 2(c) (unless such termination is as a result of Seller’s Closing Condition under Section 5(a)(i), in which case the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser), and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive termination; or (ii) to complete the Transactions.

(b)      Purchaser shall not be obligated to proceed with Closing unless and until each of the following conditions (the “Purchaser’s Closing Conditions”) have been fulfilled:

(i)      The Title Company shall have irrevocably committed to issue (1) an ALTA standard form owner’s policy (the “Owner’s Policy”), in accordance with the Title Commitment and at the prevailing promulgated rates (as applicable) insuring fee title for each Real Property in the amount of the Purchase Price for the Property, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions and otherwise in accordance with Section 4(b) hereof.

(ii)      All Service Contracts not assumed by Purchaser, and all management agreements affecting the Property (other than the Management Agreement), shall be terminated effective as of the Closing Date.

(iii)      At Closing, Seller shall update the representations made in Section 6 below as the facts then exist; provided, however, that Purchaser may terminate this Contract and receive a return of the Deposit in the event there is a change in the representations made by Seller as of the date of this Contract in Sections 6(a) through (e), and Sections 6(g) through (y), which (i) has a material and adverse impact on the Property, Facility, Business or the Purchaser, (ii) is not known to Purchaser as of the Due Diligence Deadline, (iii) is not due to Purchaser’s acts or omissions, and (iv) is not permitted or contemplated in this Agreement. Any change in the representations made in Section 6(f) shall be governed by the terms and conditions of Section 16 below. If Seller’s update delivered at Closing notifies Purchaser of any change in Seller’s representations and warranties and Purchaser does not terminate this Contract but instead elects to close the Transaction, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Contract, Seller shall have no liability to Purchaser in connection with such changed representations and warranties as long as the change is not the result of Seller’s acts or omissions.

(iv)      Purchaser shall have obtained the Required Governmental Approvals by the Closing Date (provided that Purchaser, at its sole cost and expense, shall have timely filed for the Required Governmental Approvals and shall have diligently prosecuted such Required Governmental Approval applications (Seller hereby agreeing to cooperate with Purchaser, at no unreimbursed out of pocket cost to Seller, to obtain the Required Governmental Approvals) and shall have copied Seller on such filings and all related

 

-17-


correspondence); provided, however, that if Purchaser shall not have obtained the Required Governmental Approvals by the Closing Date (after compliance with its obligations under the first sentence of this subparagraph), then Purchaser shall, to the extent allowed under the laws of Maryland and other applicable laws, enter into interim licensure arrangements with Seller with respect to the Facility in a form to be agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser prior to the Due Diligence Deadline (the “Interim Licensure Arrangements”), which Interim Licensure Arrangements shall satisfy this condition. The term of the Interim Licensure Arrangements shall commence on the Closing Date and shall not exceed a period of fourteen (14) months (the “Interim Licensure Period”); provided, however, that Purchaser shall have the right to extend the Interim Licensure Period for up to six (6) additional periods of one (1) month each, by written notice to Seller given prior to the expiration of the then-current term, together with the payment of a non-refundable $5,000.00 fee to Seller (and not in escrow) for each one (1) month extension exercised by Purchaser. During any Interim Licensure Period, Purchaser shall pay all costs incurred by Seller to maintain any Required Governmental Approvals that are required to operate the Facility and the Business. Purchaser shall be entitled to receive all revenues and shall be obligated to pay all operating costs during any Interim Licensure Period. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller (and its Affiliates) harmless from any claims, demands, costs, damages, losses or causes of action that may arise in relation to Purchaser’s (or its designees) operation of the Facility and the Business during any Interim Licensure Period, and Purchaser’s indemnification obligation shall be guaranteed by an Affiliate of Purchaser reasonably acceptable to Seller. Seller shall continue to cooperate reasonably with, and use commercially reasonable efforts to assist, Purchaser, Purchaser’s Affiliates, and/or Purchaser’s or Purchaser’s Affiliate’s manager to promptly obtain the Required Government Approvals during the Interim Licensure Period, if any. This Section 5(b)(iv) shall survive the Closing until the earlier to occur of: (A) such time as the Required Government Approvals have been obtained by Purchaser, Purchaser’s Affiliate, or Purchaser or Purchaser’s Affiliate’s manager; and (B) the conclusion of the Interim Licensure Period, if any.

(v)      The other covenants and obligations of Seller in this Agreement shall have been performed in all material respects.

(vi)      No event shall have occurred following the Effective Date and prior to the Closing Date which results in a violation of any Environmental Laws, except to the extent caused by or in the reasonable control of the Purchaser, its employees, agents, representatives, consultants or contractors; provided, however, that Seller shall have the right to cure such violation prior to the Closing Date in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser. For the avoidance of doubt, if an environmental violation is caused by the acts or omissions of Purchaser, its employees, agents, representatives, consultants or contractor, the Purchaser shall not have the right to fail to proceed to Closing (or otherwise terminate or modify this Agreement) as a result thereof, and Seller reserves any and all rights and remedies as a result thereof.

(vii)      Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction that there is no material pending or threatened litigation from any third party regarding the parties’ ability to consummate the Transactions.

(viii)      No applicable law shall have been enacted that would make illegal or invalid to consummate, or otherwise prevent the consummation of, the Transactions.

 

-18-


(ix)      Concurrently with the Closing, Purchaser (and/or its Affiliates), and the Related Property Sellers shall consummate the closings set forth in the Related Agreements.

If any applicable Purchaser’s Closing Conditions is not satisfied at Closing (a “Purchaser’s Closing Condition Failure”), and, as applicable, Seller fails to cure such condition failure within fifteen (15) days after written notice is delivered by Purchaser to Seller (excepting a failure to deliver Seller’s Closing Deliveries at Closing for which there shall be no cure period), then Purchaser shall have the right (unless such Purchaser’s Closing Condition Failure was caused by or was otherwise within the discretion or control of Purchaser), in Purchaser’s absolute discretion, either: (i) to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to Seller, in which case the Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser in accordance with Section 2(c), and the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except as set forth herein below and except with respect to those which expressly survive such termination; or (ii) to waive such failure and complete the Transactions. If Purchaser terminates this Agreement pursuant to clause (i) above and if such termination is by reason of a Purchaser’s Closing Condition Failure (other than Section 5(b)(vii) and Section 5(b)(viii) (provided Seller shall have used commercially reasonable efforts to cause the satisfaction of such Purchaser’s Closing Condition)) which was within the control or discretion of Seller, then Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for all reasonable, actual, third-party, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with the Transactions, but in no event to exceed the Purchaser’s Out Of Pocket Cost Cap.

6.      Certain Representations and Warranties by Seller.  To induce Purchaser to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the Transactions, each Seller hereby makes the following representations and warranties to Purchaser, upon which each Seller acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser is entitled to rely, and as of Closing shall provide a certificate reconfirming that all such representations and warranties remain true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date (except to the extent such representation is already subject to a materiality standard, in which event such representations and warranties remain true and correct as of the Closing Date):

(a)      Seller is a limited liability company duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and is qualified to do business in the jurisdictions in which the Property which it owns is located and has all requisite power and authority to own the Property and conduct the Businesses as currently owned and conducted.

Except for a certificate of continuing occupancy, any notice to or consent or approval required by any governmental agency regulating the issuance of Required Governmental Approvals to operate senior housing facilities, Seller is not required to give any notice to, make any filing with, or obtain any authorization, consent, or approval of any governmental agency, in order for the parties to consummate the Transactions and for Seller to deliver all documents required to be delivered by Seller under this Agreement.

Seller and Purchaser shall, at the Closing, and from time to time thereafter, upon request, execute such additional documents as are reasonably necessary in order to convey, assign and transfer the Property pursuant to this Agreement and otherwise complete the Transactions, provided that such documents are consistent with the terms of this Agreement, and do not increase Seller’s or Purchaser’s obligations hereunder or subject Seller or Purchaser to additional liability not otherwise contemplated by this Agreement.

With respect to wages and benefits of employees, Seller shall be solely responsible for all wages, salaries, bonuses, employment taxes, withholding taxes, and all accrued vacation days, sick days and personal days accruing prior to the Closing Date.

-33-


defend, pay, insure and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any loss, cost, damage, claims, expense or Liability arising out of or relating to any Seller’s failure to pay (a) any employee of the Business’ wages, salary, bonuses, employment taxes, accrued vacation pay, sick days and personal days, and withholding taxes, (b) benefits, whenever due, provided under plans in which Employees of the Businesses participate, and (c) liability under Section 4980B, Part 6 of Title I of ERISA or Title IV of ERISA.

11.    Prorations and Adjustments.

 (a)      The following items shall be prorated and adjusted between Seller and Purchaser as of 11:59:59 p.m. (New York time) on the day of the Closing (the “Cut-Off Time”), except as otherwise specified:

(i)      all income and revenue from the Facility including, without limitation, all resident payments and prepaid amounts relating to Residency Agreements and Commercial Leases (uncollected rents and other uncollected revenue shall not be adjusted at Closing and shall be subject to the provisions of Section 11(b) below). Purchaser shall receive a credit for all security deposits which are not transferred by Seller to Purchaser. Purchaser shall not receive a credit for any security deposits held by Seller which are transferred to Purchaser at Closing;

(ii)      water, electricity, gas, sewer, and other utility charges (excluding telephone) and deposits with utility companies to the extent such deposits are assignable and are assigned to Purchaser. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain readings for all utilities as of the Cut-Off Time. If readings cannot be obtained as of the Cut-Off Time, the cost of such utilities shall be prorated between Sellers and Purchaser by estimating such cost on the basis of the most recent bill for such services, with a post-closing reconciliation of amounts owed promptly after final amounts are determined. Sellers shall receive a credit for all deposits transferred to Purchaser or which remain on deposit for the benefit of Purchaser with respect to such utility contracts;

(iii)     real estate taxes for the Property for the fiscal year in which Closing occurs based on the most recently ascertainable taxes for the Real Property with a post-closing reconciliation of amounts owed promptly after final tax amounts are determined;

(iv)      amounts payable under the Service Contracts and the equipment and automobile leases to be assumed by the Purchaser, and any deposits made by Seller under Licenses and Permits; and

(v)      any other expenses normal to the operation and maintenance of the Property, and all installments of special assessments payable after the Closing, shall be paid exclusively by Purchaser.

 (b)      On the date of the Closing, the amount of prorations and adjustments as aforesaid shall be determined or estimated to the extent practicable, and monetary adjustment shall be made between Seller and Purchaser. If any prorations or adjustments are based on estimates as of Closing, when the amount of such costs, expenses, charges or amounts upon which such prorations or adjustments are finally known, Seller and Purchaser shall make a recalculation of the apportionment of the same, and Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall make an appropriate payment to the other based on such recalculation, provided such adjustment is claimed by such party within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date. Subject to

 

-34-


the prorations to be made pursuant to this Section 11(b), if any resident sends payments to Seller after the Closing, Seller shall promptly deliver such payment to Purchaser. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, but not more than ten (10) days following the Closing Date, Seller shall provide Purchaser with a schedule of all unpaid accounts receivable relating to the period prior to the Closing Date. Seller shall have the right to pursue such delinquent amounts following the Closing; provided that Seller shall not have the right to cause any eviction or to terminate any Residency Agreement or Commercial Lease following the Closing on account of any such delinquent amounts and with respect to private payment amounts due, such collection efforts shall cease after the date that is six (6) months after the Closing Date (but there shall be no prohibition with respect to Seller’s rights to pursue government receivables and reimbursements). Purchaser shall invoice residents for such unpaid accounts receivable in the ordinary course of business. Other than invoicing such past due amounts in accordance with Purchaser’s customary practice, Purchaser shall have no obligation to pursue any such delinquent amounts. To the extent such delinquent rents and other amounts are collected by Purchaser, Purchaser may deduct from the amount owed to Seller an amount equal to the attorneys’ fees and other reasonable costs of collection and out of pocket costs actually incurred by Purchaser in collecting such rents, as well as any other amounts due to Purchaser. Subject to the foregoing sentence, any rent or other payment collected after the Closing from any resident which owed a payment that was delinquent as of the Closing Date shall be applied first to Purchaser’s unpaid monetary obligations with respect to any periods from and after the Closing Date through the end of the month in which such payment is made, in such order as Purchaser may elect, until such monetary obligations have been paid in full; any remaining amount of such payment shall be paid over to Seller, for application against Seller’s delinquent monetary obligations with respect to any periods before the Closing Date, in such order as Seller may elect, until such delinquent monetary obligations have been paid in full, and any remaining amount of such payment shall be retained by Purchaser for application against Purchaser’s future obligations. In addition, in calculating the prorations pursuant to this Section 11(b), Seller shall receive a credit in the amount of any utility, municipality or other deposits relating to the Property made by Seller and which are assigned to Purchaser at the Closing. Seller shall be entitled to a refund from the utility or the municipality of any such deposits not assigned to Purchaser.

(c)      If any refund of real property taxes regarding any of the Property is made after the date of the Closing for a period prior to the Closing, after deducting Purchaser’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs, if any, in obtaining such refund, the amount of such refund that is on account of the period prior to Closing shall be paid to Seller or as Seller directs. The balance, if any, of such refund that is on account of the period following Closing shall be paid to Purchaser. In addition, to the extent any income relating to the period prior to the Closing Date is paid to Purchaser, Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller and remit such amount as directed by Seller, to the extent Seller is entitled to the same pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(d)      At Closing, Seller shall transfer the following sums or give Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of all (i) Accrued Employee Benefits for any Hired Employees accruing prior to the Closing Date (which amounts may be assigned to Seller’s property manager); (ii) security deposits (together with any interest earned thereon or otherwise due to the residents under the terms of any residency agreement or applicable law); and (iii) last months’ rents, and other prepaid rent or fees (together with any interest earned thereon or otherwise due to the residents under the terms of any residency agreements or applicable law).

(e)      Any party hereto shall be entitled to a post-Closing adjustment for any incorrect proration or adjustment or if information was not available prior to or on the Closing Date to finalize any proration, provided such adjustment is claimed by such party within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date. The provisions of this Section 11(e) shall survive Closing or termination of this Agreement.

12.    Closing Costs.

 (a)      Seller shall be responsible for the payment of: (i) the fees and costs of Seller’s counsel and investment advisors representing it in connection with the Transactions, (ii) all fees, costs and expenses in connection with the prepayment and discharge of the financing documents that encumber the Property; (iii) fifty percent (50%) of the fees payable to, and incurred by, Escrow Agent hereunder; and (iv) all recording fees for documents recorded to remove encumbrances on or prior to Closing; and

 (b)      Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of (i) the fees and costs of Purchaser’s counsel and investment advisors representing it in connection with the Transactions; (ii) the base premium and search fees for the Title Insurance Policies, together with the entire cost of any endorsements and extended coverage title insurance that Purchaser elects or is required to purchase; (iii) survey costs, environmental inspection costs and all due diligence costs and expenses; (iv) all recording fees (except with respect to documents recorded to remove encumbrances on or prior to Closing); (v) all intangibles taxes on the mortgages to be placed upon the Property by Purchaser’s lender and all other fees, costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with the Transactions, not specifically provided for herein; (vi) sales taxes relating to the transfer of vehicles and other Personalty; and (vii) fifty percent (50%) of the fees payable to, and incurred by, Escrow Agent hereunder.

 (c)      Notwithstanding Sections 12(a) and (b), Seller and Purchaser shall each pay one-half (1/2) of all real property transfer and/or recordation taxes imposed by the applicable governmental authorities by reason of the transfer of the Facility (“Transfer Taxes”).

13.    Default; Remedies.

 (a)      Purchaser Default. If, at any time prior to Closing, Purchaser fails to perform in any material respect any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement which breach or default is not caused in whole or in part by a Seller’s Default (and, if such failure is other than a failure to deliver Purchaser’s Closing Deliveries, Purchaser fails to cure such condition failure within fifteen (15) days after written notice of such failure is delivered by Seller to Purchaser) (a “Purchaser’s Default”), and no material Seller’s Default has occurred which remains uncured, then Seller may elect, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to (a) terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to Purchaser and Escrow Agent, or (b) waive such Purchaser’s Default and proceed to Closing without any reduction in or setoff against the Purchase Price. The parties hereto agree that the damages that Seller will sustain as a result of such default will be substantial but will be difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, the parties agree that in the event that Seller shall elect to terminate this Agreement as a result of such default, Escrow Agent is hereby directed to pay the Deposit to Seller, who shall retain the Deposit as and for its liquidated damages and sole remedy hereunder, in which event this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect except for those provisions expressly stated to survive the termination of this Agreement. Seller hereby waives all other rights and remedies that it might have, including but not limited to, the right to sue for damages in the event of a Purchaser’s Default; provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit the Seller’s rights under any surviving indemnities set forth in this Agreement.

 

-36-


(b)      Seller Default.  If, at or any time prior to Closing, Seller fails to perform in any material respect any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement, which breach or default is not caused in whole or in part by a Purchaser’s Default under this Agreement (and, if such failure is other than a failure to deliver Seller’s Closing Deliveries, Seller fails to cure such condition failure within fifteen (15) days, after written notice of such failure is delivered by Purchaser to Seller) (a “Seller’s Default”), and no material Purchaser’s Default has occurred which remains uncured, then Purchaser may elect, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to (a) terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to Seller, in which case the Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser, and Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for all reasonable, actual, third party out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Agreements, but in no event to exceed the Purchaser’s Out Of Pocket Cost Cap, and the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive such termination, or (b) waive such default and proceed to Closing without any reduction in or setoff against the Purchase Price, or (c) obtain a court order for specific performance, provided that such action for specific performance is commenced within thirty (30) days after the then scheduled Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that the reasonable, actual, third party out-of-pocket expenses and costs that Purchaser has incurred in connection with the Transactions or the Related Agreements are paid by one or more Related Property Sellers, Purchaser shall have no entitlement under this Agreement to additional reimbursement from Seller for such expenses.

14.    Survival; Indemnification.

 (a)      Survival.  None of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement unless otherwise expressly set forth herein.

 (b)      Indemnification.

(i)      Indemnification by Seller.  Subject to the Cap Amount and Survival Period set forth in Section 6, in this Section 14, and any other express provision of this Agreement, Seller shall indemnify, save, insure, pay, defend and hold harmless Purchaser’s Indemnitees from and against any Indemnification Loss incurred by any Purchaser’s Indemnitee to the extent resulting from any breach of any representation or warranty of Seller in Section 6 this Agreement.

(ii)      Indemnification by Purchaser.  Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 14 and any other express provision of this Agreement, Purchaser shall indemnify, save, pay, insure, defend and hold harmless Seller’s Indemnitees from and against any Indemnification Loss incurred by Seller’s Indemnitees to the extent resulting from any breach of any representation or warranty of Purchaser in Section 8 of this Agreement.

(iii)      Indemnification Procedure. Notice of Indemnification Claim.  If any of Seller’s Indemnitees or Purchaser’s Indemnitees (as the case may be) (each, an “Indemnitee”) is entitled to defense or indemnification under any other provision in this Agreement (each, an “Indemnification Claim”), the Party required to provide defense indemnification to such Indemnitee (the “Indemnitor”) shall not be obligated to save, pay, insure, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless such Indemnitee unless and until such Indemnitee provides written notice to such Indemnitor promptly after such Indemnitee has actual knowledge of any facts or circumstances on which such Indemnification Claim is based or a Third-Party Claim is made on which such Indemnification Claim is based, describing in reasonable detail such facts and circumstances or Third-Party Claim with respect to such Indemnification Claim.

 

-37-


(iv)      Resolution of Indemnification Claim Not Involving Third-Party Claim.  If the Indemnification Claim does not involve a Third-Party Claim and is disputed by the Indemnitor, the dispute shall be resolved by litigation or other means of alternative dispute resolution as the Parties may agree in writing.

(v)      Resolution of Indemnification Claim Involving Third-Party Claim.  If the Indemnification Claim involves a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall have the right (but not the obligation) to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, at its cost and expense, and shall use good faith efforts consistent with prudent business judgment to defend such Third-Party Claim, provided that (i) the counsel for the Indemnitor who shall conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee (unless selected by Indemnitor’s insurance company, in which case Indemnitee shall have no such approval rights), (ii) the Indemnitee, at its cost and expense, may participate in, but shall not control, the defense of such Third-Party Claim, and (iii) the Indemnitor shall not enter into any settlement or other agreement which requires any performance by the Indemnitee, other than the payment of money which shall be paid by the Indemnitor. The Indemnitee shall not enter into any settlement agreement with respect to the Indemnification Claim, without the Indemnitor’s prior written consent. If the Indemnitor elects not to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall have the right to retain the defense of such Third-Party Claim and shall use good faith efforts consistent with prudent business judgment to defend such Third-Party Claim in an effective and cost-efficient manner.

(vi)      Accrual of Indemnification Obligation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall have no right to indemnification against the Indemnitor for any Indemnification Claim if the claim for breach of a representation (i) does not involve a Third-Party Claim but is disputed by Indemnitor, until such time as such dispute is resolved by written agreement or by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) which involves a Third-Party Claim, until such time as such Third-Party Claim is concluded, including any appeals with respect thereto in the case of a claim in litigation.

(vii)     Exclusive Remedy for Indemnification Loss.  The indemnification provisions in this Section 14(b) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of any Indemnitee with respect to any claim for Indemnification Loss arising from or in connection with this Agreement.

(viii)    Fee Title Representation Matters.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Purchaser shall have no right to indemnification with respect to the Fee Title Representation unless Purchaser has used commercially reasonable efforts to recover any amounts that Purchaser may be entitled to under its owner’s policy of title insurance as a result of the inaccuracy of the Fee Title Representation. In the event that Purchaser notifies Seller of any potential claim relating to any breach of the Fee Title Representation prior to the expiration of the Survival Period, the failure of Purchaser to file any claim against Seller prior to the expiration of the Survival Period shall not relieve Seller of any liability hereunder, provided that Purchaser uses (i) commercially reasonable efforts to diligently pursue its claims under its owner’s policy of title insurance, and (ii) files any claim relating to the Fee Title Representation within three (3) months of its cessation of use of commercially reasonable efforts to diligently pursue its claims under its owner’s policy of title insurance.

 

-38-


(ix)      Escrow Hold-Back.  An amount equal to the sum of the Cap Amount shall be withheld from the Purchase Price by Escrow Agent at Closing pursuant to an escrow holdback agreement, the form of which shall be negotiated by Seller and Purchaser during the first ten (10) Business Days of the Due Diligence Period (the “Escrow Holdback Amount”). Such escrow holdback agreement shall specifically provide that applicable portions of the Escrow Holdback Amount shall be released to Seller from time to time as and when the Cap Amount is reduced pursuant to Section 6 hereof, so that the amount held in escrow shall always be equal to, but not greater than, the Cap Amount at any given time. The Escrow Holdback Amount shall serve as security for Seller’s indemnification obligations hereunder.

15.      Broker.  Seller and Purchaser represent to each other that neither party has dealt with any broker or real estate consultant in connection with the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that Seller has engaged Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (“SN”) as its investment advisor and the Seller shall pay the fees due to SN in accordance with a separate agreement between Seller and SN. Seller and Purchaser shall indemnify and hold the other free and harmless from and against any liabilities, damages, costs or expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) suffered by the indemnified party arising from a misrepresentation or a breach of any covenant made by the indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 15. The provisions of this Section 15 shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement.

16.      Risk of Loss.

(a)     Condemnation.

(i)      If, at any time prior to the Closing Date, all or a Substantial Portion of one or more of the Property or a Related Property shall be taken in the exercise of the power of condemnation or eminent domain by any sovereign, municipality or other public or private authority or shall be the subject of a duly noticed hearing held by any such authority relating to a pending taking in the exercise of the power of condemnation or eminent domain (a “Taking”), then Purchaser may cancel this Agreement by written notice given to Seller within ten (10) days after receipt of notice from Seller of such Taking, in which event this Agreement shall be deemed cancelled and of no force and effect, Purchaser shall be entitled to recover the Deposit, and neither party shall have any further obligations or liabilities against or to the other except for those provisions expressly stated to survive the termination of this Agreement. In the case of a Taking of less than a Substantial Portion of each Property or a Related Property, or if Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement in the case of a Taking of all or a Substantial Portion of a Property or a Related Property, as provided for above, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and on the Closing either (A) Purchaser shall be entitled to any condemnation award to be granted and Seller shall assign all of its right, title and interest to such award to Purchaser, less such sums, if any, actually and reasonably expended by Seller to prosecute such claim and restore the Property, or (B) if such award shall have been paid to Seller, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount thereof, less such sums, if any, actually and reasonably expended by Seller to prosecute such claim and restore the Property. Seller agrees to deliver promptly after receipt thereof any and all written notices of a Taking received by Seller after the date hereof.

(ii)      As used herein, a Taking of a “Substantial Portion” of the Property or a Related Property shall mean a Taking which impairs the Property or any of the Related Properties by an amount greater than One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) with respect to such Property or Related Property.

 

-39-


 (b)      Destruction or Damage.    In the event that one or more of the Property or a Related Property, or any part thereof, shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or any other casualty (“Casualty”) prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall give Purchaser prompt written notice of such event together with an estimate of the cost and time to restore prepared by an independent insurance examiner or engineer selected by Seller and reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser. If the Casualty will require more than One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) to repair or restore a Property or Related Property (a “Casualty Termination Event”), Purchaser may cancel this Agreement by notice to Seller within ten (10) days after receipt of notice from Seller specifying the Casualty Termination Event, in which event this Agreement shall be deemed terminated and of no force and effect, Purchaser shall be entitled to recover the Deposit, and neither party shall have any further rights or liabilities against or to the other except for those provisions expressly stated to survive the termination of this Agreement. If there is no Casualty Termination Event or if Purchaser does not timely elect to cancel the Agreement in the event of a Casualty Termination Event, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and Purchaser shall be entitled to any insurance proceeds payable to Seller on account of such Casualty as well as the amount of any policy deductibles applicable to Seller’s insurance, less such sums, if any, as shall have been actually and reasonably incurred by Seller or expended by Seller in connection with the repair or restoration of such Casualty or the prosecution of such claim.

(c)      Waivers.    No waiver of any provision or condition of, or default under, this Agreement by any party shall be valid unless in writing signed by such party. No such waiver shall be taken as a waiver of any other or similar provision or of any future event, act, or default.

A direct or indirect transfer, sale or assignment of the majority stock interest in a corporate purchaser or the majority membership interest in a limited liability company purchaser or the majority or any general partnership interest of a partnership purchaser shall constitute an assignment of this Agreement, which assignment or attempted assignment shall be void if made without the written consent of Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may assign its rights under this Agreement, without the consent of Seller, to an Affiliate, including Purchaser’s Designee, provided the assignee assumes in writing all of the obligations of Purchaser to be performed under this Agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Seller, and a draft of the proposed assignment and assumption agreement is delivered to Seller at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing which shall contain the proper name, jurisdiction and address of the assignee. Purchaser shall not assign this Agreement to an entity or individual which would make any of the statements, representations or warranties set forth in Section 8 of this Agreement untrue or incorrect in any material respect and any such assignment shall be null and void and without force and effect. No assignment of this Agreement shall relieve Purchaser from any of its obligations set forth herein arising prior to or after the effective date of the assignment.

(f)      Notices.    Any notices or other communications permitted or required to be given hereunder shall be in writing, shall be delivered (i) personally, in which case notice shall be deemed delivered upon receipt or refusal of delivery, (ii) by reputable overnight delivery service, in which case notice shall be deemed delivered on the date of deposit with such courier, or (iii) by fax, in which case notice shall be deemed delivered upon the mechanical confirmation of delivery, and shall be addressed to the respective party as set forth in this subsection (f). Notices on behalf of the respective parties may be given by their attorneys and such notices shall have the same effect as if in fact subscribed by the party on whose behalf it is given.

(g)      Governing Law.    This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of New York without regard to the laws regarding conflicts of laws.

(h)      Counterparts.    This Agreement may be executed in any number of identical counterparts, any or all of which may contain the signatures of less than all of the parties, and all of which shall be construed together as a single instrument.

(i)      Construction.    Seller and Purchaser agree that each party and its counsel have reviewed and approved this Agreement, and that any rules of construction that provide that ambiguities be resolved against the drafting party shall not be used in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments or exhibits hereto. The words “include”, “including”, “includes” and any other derivation of “include” means “including, but not limited to” unless specifically set forth to the contrary. As used in this Agreement, the neuter shall include the feminine and masculine, the singular shall include the plural, and the plural shall include the singular, except where expressly provided to the contrary. The words “herein”, “hereof” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular Section, subsection or other subdivision. Headings of sections herein are for convenience of reference only, and shall not be construed as a part of this Agreement. Except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, references to “sections” or “subsections” in this Agreement shall refer to sections and subsections of this Agreement, and references to “exhibits” in this Agreement shall mean exhibits attached to this Agreement.

 

-43-


(j)      No Recording.    Purchaser shall not, and shall not cause any other person to, record this Agreement or any memorandum or other evidence thereof in any public records. If Purchaser violates the terms of this Subsection (j), then this Agreement shall be deemed to be breached by Purchaser and, in Seller’s sole discretion, ipso facto terminated. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent Purchaser from filing a Notice of Settlement.

(k)      Public Announcement.    Seller and Purchaser agree to cooperate with each other to make an initial joint and/or coordinated public announcement following the Closing Date disclosing this Agreement and the Transactions contemplated hereby. Neither party shall make any public announcements during the pendency of this Agreement until the Closing Date or earlier termination thereof.

19.      Radon.    Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when it has accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may present health risks to persons who are exposed to it over time. Levels of radon that exceed federal and state guidelines may have been found in buildings in the states in which the Property is located. Additional information regarding radon and radon testing may be obtained from public health units of the county in which the Property is located.

20.      Diligence Materials.    Seller has delivered, or will deliver or make available within three (3) Business Days following the Effective Date, to Purchaser all plans, maps, descriptions, permits, certifications, licenses, approvals, environmental audits, and other diligence materials (the “Diligence Materials”) respecting the Property in Seller’s possession or control, which material shall be returned to Seller by Purchaser if Closing is not completed and Purchaser will not retain any copies. For purposes of this Agreement, Diligence Materials shall be deemed to include all Title Commitments, Surveys and results of Tests, including Phase 1 environmental reports and engineering reports relating to the physical condition of the Property. Purchaser shall make no claim under this Agreement, for breach of representation or warranty, indemnification or otherwise, in respect of a fact, circumstance or condition that is disclosed in the Diligence Materials or in the Purchaser Commissioned Reports except that the foregoing shall not prevent Purchaser from raising an objection as to any fact, circumstance or condition disclosed in the Title Commitment, Survey, the Diligence Materials or in the Purchaser Commissioned Reports and shall not prevent Purchaser from exercising any right to terminate this Agreement as provided herein on account of any such fact, circumstance or condition disclosed in the Diligence Materials or in the Purchaser Commissioned Reports whether or not such fact, circumstance or condition is contrary to a representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 20 shall survive the closing of title.

21.      Facsimile and PDF Signatures.    The execution of this Agreement and all notices given hereunder and all amendments hereto, may be effected by facsimile signatures or signatures in portable document format (pdf) delivered by electronic mail, all of which shall be treated as originals; provided, however, that the party receiving a document with a facsimile or pdf signature may, by notice to the other, require the prompt delivery of an original signature to evidence and confirm the delivery of the facsimile or pdf signature. Purchaser and Seller each intend to be bound by its respective facsimile transmitted or pdf signature, and is aware that the other party will rely thereon, and each party waives any defenses to the enforcement of the Agreement, and documents, and any Notices delivered by facsimile transmission or transmission by electronic mail of pdf signatures.

22.      Severability.     If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the

 

-44-


remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each such term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

23.      Like-Kind Exchange.    Purchaser acknowledges that Seller may, at Seller’s option, include Seller’s sale of the Property in a like-kind exchange under the Code. Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with Seller and shall execute any documents reasonably required to permit Seller to effect such a like-kind exchange pursuant to the Code, provided that such like-kind exchange shall not delay the Closing or cause Purchaser to incur any additional liability or expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller chooses to include the sale of the Property in a like-kind exchange under the Code, Seller shall inform Purchaser of that fact prior to the Due Diligence Deadline.
