Purchaser shall order a title insurance commitment for a title insurance policy (the “Title Commitment”) from the Title Company no later than five (5) business days after the Execution Date. In addition, Purchaser shall have the right to order a new or updated survey for the Property (the “Survey”) and a new zoning report for the Property (the “Zoning Report”), which order shall be placed within ten (10) business days after Seller delivers an existing survey and zoning report for the Property to Purchaser (to the extent in Seller’s possession). Prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (the “Title Objection Date”), Purchaser shall have the right to notify Seller of any matters shown on the Title Commitment, Survey and/or Zoning Report that are not acceptable to Purchaser other than the Permitted Exceptions (such exceptions referred to herein as the “Title Defects”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser’s lender identifies Title Defects, then the Title Objection Date shall, be extended until twenty (20) days prior to Closing. If any updates to the Title Commitment, Survey and/or Zoning Report after the Title Objection Date shall disclose any additional matters, Purchaser shall have seven (7) business days from the receipt of such updates within which to notify Seller thereof, in which case any such matters for which Purchaser provides notice shall also be treated as “Title Defects” hereunder. Seller shall have no obligation to cure any Title Defect (other than Seller’s Monetary Liens as defined below).
(b) If Seller shall receive written notice of any Title Defect in accordance with Section 8(a), Seller may elect in its sole discretion, by written notice to Purchaser, to either (i) undertake at its expense to cure such Title Defects on or before the Closing, or (ii) not cure such Title Defects. In the event Seller does not respond to Purchaser’s written notice of a Title Defect within ten (10) days, Seller shall be deemed to have elected to cure such Title Defect (except for Seller’s Monetary Liens). In the event that Seller does not elect to cure such Title Defects pursuant to this Section 8(b), Purchaser may, by notice to Seller delivered within ten (10) days after such election or deemed election by Seller, terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further obligations under this Agreement except for obligations that expressly survive termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should (i) Purchaser notify Seller of any Title Defects disclosed by any update to the Title Commitment, Survey and/or Zoning Report after the Title Objection Date and the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, and (ii) Seller does not elect to cure such Title Defects, Purchaser may, by notice to Seller delivered within two (2) business days after such election or deemed election by Seller, terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further obligations under this Agreement except for obligations that expressly survive termination of this Agreement. In the event Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the preceding sentence, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived such Title Defects and such Title Defects, as well as any matters shown in the Title Commitment, Survey or Zoning Report to which Purchaser does not object as permitted herein, shall be deemed as “Permitted Exceptions” hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not be required to object to any financing obtained or assumed by Seller and secured by a mortgage, an assignments of leases and rents, subordination agreements, UCC financing or other liens covering the Property arising out of the actions or at the direction of Seller and Seller shall pay off all such obligations or cause the Title Company to insure or endorse over any mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens for work or materials undertaken or acquired by or on behalf of Seller or Existing Operator, or any tax or judgment lien against Seller (provided, however, Seller shall be entitled to utilize the Purchase Price proceeds to effectuate any or all of the foregoing; all of the foregoing shall be referred to herein as “Seller’s Monetary Liens”).

If this Agreement is terminated by Seller pursuant to Section 14(a)(iii) above, the Seller shall be entitled to retain the Deposit as liquidated damages which shall be paid to Seller by the Title Company and upon such payment this Agreement shall be terminated and of no further force and effect.

- 23 - |
(i) The Claims Notice shall describe the Claim and the specific facts and circumstances in reasonable detail, shall include copies of any notices received by Indemnified Party relating to such Claim, and shall indicate the amount, if known, or an estimate, if possible, of Losses that have been or may be incurred or suffered.
(ii) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in or assume the defense of, and may compromise (subject to the limitations set forth below), any claim by a third party (“Third Party Claim”), at its own expense and by its own counsel, who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense. The Indemnified Party may participate, at its own expense, in the defense of any Third Party Claim assumed by the Indemnifying Party. Without the approval of the Indemnified Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, the Indemnifying Party shall not compromise a Third Party Claim defended by the Indemnifying Party which would require the Indemnified Party to perform or take any action or to refrain from performing or taking any action, pay any amount not paid upon settlement by the Indemnifying Party or admit to any wrongdoing or violation of applicable law.
(iii) If, within ten (10) Business Days of the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of a claim notice involving a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party has not notified the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will assume the defense or, following such notification, Indemnifying Party fails to actively and diligently defend such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may assume control of the defense or compromise of such Claim, and the costs and expenses of such defense, including costs of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall be added to the Losses associated with the Claim. The Indemnified Party shall not compromise such Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(iv) The Party assuming the defense of any Claim shall keep the other Party reasonably informed at all times of the progress and development of the Party’s defense of and compromise efforts related to such Claim and shall furnish the other Party with copies of all relevant pleadings, correspondence and other papers. In addition, the Parties shall cooperate with each other, and make available to each other and their representatives all available relevant records or other materials required by them for their use in defending, compromising or contesting any Claim.
(d) Survival; Limitations on Indemnity.
(i) The indemnification obligations of each of the parties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing for a period of nine (9) months, provided that any indemnification claims related to Medicare or Medicaid shall survive for thirty-six (36) months (the “Survival Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claims asserted in good faith with reasonable specificity (to the extent known at such time) and in writing by notice from the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party prior to the expiration date of such survival period shall not thereafter be barred by the expiration of the survival period and such claims shall survive until finally resolved. For the avoidance of doubt, no individual officer, director, member, managing member, shareholder, equity holder, partner, employee, agent, or representative of either party shall have any liability for any claims of the other Party related to this Agreement, or any agreements, certificates or instruments delivered in connection herewith, in any way. The survival provisions of this Section 15(d)(i) shall not apply to nor modify, change or amend in any way the survival provisions contained in Article IX of the OTA, which are separate and apart from the survival provisions in this Article 15. In no event shall Purchaser and New Operator be entitled to duplication of recovery under this Agreement and this OTA for Losses arising out of, related to, or in connection with, the same events. In no event shall Seller and Existing Operator be entitled to duplication of recovery under the OTA and this Agreement for Losses arising out of, related to, or in connection with, the same events.
- 24 - |
(ii) The rights of indemnity provided by this Agreement, including this Section 15, shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties notwithstanding any other rights and claims, whether created by law or otherwise, the Parties may have relating in any way to the subject matter of this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 15(d)(ii) shall limit any right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which a party shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of any party’s fraudulent misconduct.
(iii) Each Indemnified Party shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, all reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise thereto; provided, however, that any failure to mitigate shall not affect the obligations of the Indemnifying Party hereunder, except to the extent such failure to mitigate has increased Indemnifying Party’s costs or otherwise prejudiced or harmed Indemnifying Party’s position.
(iv) Seller and Existing Operator shall not be liable to the Purchaser or New Operator, as the case may be, for indemnification under Section 15(a)(ii) of this Agreement or under Section 9.3(i) of the OTA until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under this Agreement and the OTA exceeds fifty thousand dollars ($50,000)(the “Deductible”), in which event the Seller or Existing Operator, as applicable, shall only be required to pay or be liable for Losses in excess of the Deductible. The aggregate amount of all Losses for which Seller and Existing Operator shall be liable pursuant to this Section 15 of this Agreement and Article IX of the OTA shall not exceed three million dollars ($3,000,000) (the “Cap”). The Cap shall not apply to any Losses solely related to a Recapture Claim (as defined in the OTA), under the terms of the OTA. Seller shall jointly and severally guaranty payment of Existing Operator’s indemnification obligations to New Operator under the OTA.
(v) Payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 16(a) or Section 16(b) in respect of any Loss shall be limited to the amount of any liability or damage that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment received or reasonably expected to be received by the Indemnified Party in respect of any such claim. The Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover under insurance policies or indemnity, contribution or other similar agreements for any Losses prior to seeking indemnification under this Agreement.
(vi) Payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 16(a) or Section 16(b) in respect of any Loss shall be reduced by an amount equal to any Tax benefit realized or reasonably expected to be realized as a result of such Loss by the Indemnified Party.
- 25 - |
(e) All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable law.
16. Confidentiality.
(a) Each of the Parties hereto recognizes and acknowledges that, during the course of negotiations in connection with this Agreement and in preparation for the Closing hereunder, each Party has disclosed and will disclose to the other Party and its representatives, confidential and proprietary information, including, without limitation, books and records, documents and information concerning its and its Affiliates’ business activities, owners, finances, plans, and practices (collectively, the “Confidential Information”), all of which constitute and will constitute valuable, special and unique assets of the disclosing Party. Each Party agrees not to disclose any Confidential Information of the other to any third party, except as provided herein or as required by law. In addition, each Party agrees to disclose Confidential Information of the other only to its agents, consultants and representatives who have a legitimate need to know such information and who shall: (i) be advised of the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement; and (ii) agree to be bound by the confidentiality provisions hereof.
(b) Each Party hereby acknowledges that if any breach of this section occurs, the other Party would be irreparably and immediately harmed and could not be made whole by monetary damages. Accordingly, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled in law or in equity, each Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and/or to compel specific performance of this Section, and the other Party shall not oppose the granting of such relief on the basis that monetary damages are adequate. Each Party also agrees to reimburse the other Party for all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by such Party in enforcing obligations under this Section.
(c) Confidential Information does not include all or any portion of information which (i) becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a breach of this Section by the receiving Party or such Party’s representatives, or (ii) was or becomes rightfully available to the receiving Party a non-confidential basis from a source other than the disclosing Party or its representatives; provided, that such source is not prohibited from disclosing such information to the receiving Party by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation to the disclosing Party or its representatives, or by subpoena, writ, order or judgment of any governmental or judicial authority.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the terms of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
17. Drafting. The Parties hereto have carefully reviewed and negotiated the terms of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, and Seller and Purchaser hereby acknowledge and agree that they have had a full and fair opportunity to review and negotiate the Agreement and the Transaction Documents with the advice of its sophisticated healthcare counsel. Therefore, there shall be no presumption in favor of the non-drafting party.
- 26 - |
18. Costs and Expenses.
(a) Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
(b) Seller shall be responsible for and shall pay (i) all applicable conveyance fees, state and county deed and transfer taxes, recordation taxes and all other similar taxes in connection with the conveyance of the Property to Purchaser as contemplated hereby; (ii) the cost to issue the Title Commitment and exam fees and the owner’s title policy premiums; and (iii) any Seller broker fee. Purchaser shall be responsible for and shall pay: (x) any due diligence costs including the cost of any environmental reports, surveys, zoning reports, or any other reports that Purchaser orders, (y) any extended coverage and endorsements to the owner’s policy of title insurance, (z) any lender’s policy of title insurance, including the premium and extended coverage and endorsements thereto, (xx) the Closing escrow fee; (yy) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the transfer of electronic medical records that constitute Property; and (zz) any Purchaser broker fee. Except as set forth in this Section 18(b), Purchaser and Seller shall each pay its own costs incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated herein, including all attorneys’ fees and due diligence expenses.
(c) If less than all of the Purchase Price is allocated to Real Property and if required by the Title Company, Seller agrees to deposit with the Title Company in escrow at the Closing an amount sufficient to cover any additional transfer or conveyance taxes relating to the conveyance of the Property to Purchaser that the applicable governmental authority may require in connection with the recording of the Deed, provided that such escrow shall not exceed the amount of transfer or conveyance taxes due when computed on the entire Purchase Price less the amount paid to the Title Company at the Closing for the payment of such transfer or conveyance taxes. Any remaining escrow fund will be released to Seller upon the recording of the Deed.
19. Benefit and Assignment. This Agreement binds and inures to the benefit of each Party and its successors and proper assigns. Neither Party shall be permitted to assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior consent of the other Party; provided, however, that effective as of Closing, Purchaser may collaterally assign this Agreement and/or Purchaser’s rights hereunder to its lender, and Purchaser may assign all of its rights, obligations and interests hereunder to any of its Affiliates, but in such event, (i) Purchaser shall be required to remain obligated hereunder in the same manner as if such assignment or delegation had not been effected, and (ii) Purchaser provides written notice to Seller of any proposed assignment no later than ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date, together with reasonable evidence confirming that the requirements of this Section 19 have been satisfied.
20. Effect and Construction of this Agreement. The captions used herein are for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of the provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument. Copies of original signatures sent by electronic transmission shall be deemed to be originals for all purposes of this Agreement.

21. Waiver, Discharge, etc. This Agreement shall not be released, discharged, abandoned, changed or modified in any manner, except by an instrument in writing executed by or on behalf of each of the Parties hereto by their duly authorized officer or representative. The delay or failure of any Party to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of nor impair any such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any Party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.
22. Rights of Persons Not Parties. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to create rights in persons not Parties hereto, other than the successors and proper assigns of the Parties hereto.
23. Governing Law; Disputes. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard any contrary rules relating to the choice or conflict of laws.

25. Legal Fees. The prevailing party in any suit or arbitration brought to enforce any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses in any such action or proceeding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the term “attorney’s fees” or any similar term shall mean attorney’s fees which are actually incurred or paid by a party, and not any statutory presumption regarding attorney’s fees found at O.C.G.A. § 13-1-11 or otherwise.
26. Severability. Any provision, or distinguishable portion of any provision, of the Agreement which is determined in any judicial or administrative proceeding to be prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Parties waive any provision of law which renders a provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.
27. Entire Agreement. This Agreement including the schedules, exhibits and the other Transaction Documents, constitute the entire agreement between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no agreements, understandings, restrictions, warranties, or representations between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof other than as set forth herein or therein.

Purchaser or Seller may consummate the purchase or sale of the Real Property as part of a so-called like kind exchange (the “Exchange”) pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), provided that: (a) the Closing shall not be delayed or affected by reason of the Exchange nor shall the consummation or accomplishment of the Exchange be a condition precedent or condition subsequent to Purchaser’s or Seller’s obligations under this Agreement; (b) Seller shall not be required to take an assignment of the purchase agreement for the relinquished property or be required to acquire or hold title to any real property for purposes of consummating the Exchange; (c) a party performing an Exchange shall pay any additional costs that would not otherwise have been incurred had such party not consummated an Exchange; and (d) neither party’s acquiescence to an Exchange shall affect or diminish in any manner its rights hereunder nor shall the party not performing an Exchange be responsible for compliance with or be deemed to have warranted to the other party that the Exchange in fact complies with Section 1031 of the Code.
31. Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage may occur in the event that certain of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached. Accordingly, each Party agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by any other Party of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement, then as provided consistent with Section 14, the non-breaching Party shall be entitled to seek and obtain (a) a decree or other order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant or obligation and (b) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach.
32. Individual Liability Disclaimed.
