(a) The Purchase Price shall be allocated to the Assets as set forth in Schedule 2.3-1 hereto, subject to adjustment as set forth in this Section 2.3. Property Taxes, water/sewer charges, gas, electric, telephone and other utilities, and other operating expenses relating to the Facilities are the responsibility of the Tenants under the Tenant Leases and shall not be prorated. Rents payable under the Tenant Leases, rent payable under the Greensville Lease, and payments due under the Mortgage Loans shall be prorated as of the Applicable Closing Date therefor; provided, however, that (i) Rents and payments due under the Mortgage Loans that are, as of the Applicable Closing Date, in arrears by not more than one (1) month shall be purchased by Purchaser and credited to the applicable Seller, (ii) Sellers shall retain sole and exclusive

ownership of any other delinquent Rents and payments due under the Mortgage Loans and all right, title, power and authority to enforce payment thereof after the Applicable Closing, and (iii) Purchaser shall, at the applicable Sellers reasonable cost and expense, assist such Seller by all reasonable means (without any obligation to incur any costs or to file or become a party to any litigation) in such Sellers collection of such delinquent Rents and payments due under the Mortgage Loans. If, after the Applicable Closing for an Asset, Purchaser, or its designee, shall receive any delinquent Rents or payments under the Mortgage Loans, such Rents or payments shall be applied first to the most recently accrued obligations. In the event that the balance of any such Rents or payments are to be applied to any Rents or payments to which a Seller retained ownership and did not receive a proration credit at the Applicable Closing, Purchaser covenants and agrees, on its behalf and on behalf of its designee, to immediately remit such amounts to the applicable Seller. Sellers shall retain all security deposits and other similar deposits relating to the Tenant Leases, and Purchaser shall receive a credit for such deposits at the Applicable Closing.
(b) In addition to any adjustments to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.3(a) hereof, the Purchase Price shall be subject to further adjustment as set forth below:
(i) the Purchase Price shall be adjusted to reflect any expense paid by one Party that the other Party has agreed to pay or share pursuant to Section 11.1 hereof or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement; and
(ii) for any Facility that is not purchased by Purchaser pursuant to Sections 10.1 or 10.2 hereof, the Purchase Price shall be decreased by an amount determined in accordance with Sections 10.1 or 10.2 hereof, as the case may be.
(c) After taking into account any adjustments to the Purchase Price as set forth above, the Purchase Price shall be paid by Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Sellers as follows: (i) on the First Closing Date, the portion of the Purchase Price allocated as set forth in Schedule 2.3-1 hereto to the Assets identified in Schedule 2.3-2 hereto; (ii) on the Second Closing Date, the portion of the Purchase Price allocated as set forth in Schedule 2.3-1 hereto to the Assets identified in Schedule 2.3-3 hereto; and (iii) on the Interim Closing Date, the portion of the Purchase Price allocated as set forth in Schedule 2.3-1 hereto to the Assets identified in Schedule 2.3-4 hereto. As soon as possible after each Closing Date (but not later than thirty (30) days after such Closing Date), the Parties shall reconcile the actual amount of any prorations that were estimated as of such Closing Date. To the extent that a Party subsequently verifies that the actual amounts differ from the amounts estimated and so prorated, the Parties agree to remit the correct amount of such items to the appropriate Party as and when they are determined.

(a) In the event of any claim by a Person not a Party to this Agreement with respect to any matter to which Sections 8.1 or 8.2 hereof relates, the indemnified party, after not less than thirty (30) days written notice to the indemnifying party containing the terms of the proposed settlement, may make settlement of such claim, and such settlement shall be binding on the Parties hereto for the purposes of this Section 8.3; provided, however, that, if within such thirty (30) day period, the indemnifying party shall have requested the indemnified party to contest any such claim at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnified party shall promptly comply, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to direct the defense of such claim or any litigation based thereon at its own expense through counsel of its own choosing. The indemnified party also shall have the right to participate in the settlement of any such claim or in any such litigation so long as its participation is at its own expense and with the understanding that the indemnifying party may settle in its own discretion at its sole expense so long as any such settlement provides for a complete release and discharge of the indemnified party and does not impose any liabilities or obligations on the indemnified party. Any payment or settlement made by the indemnifying party in such contest, together with the total expense thereof, shall be binding on the indemnified party and the indemnifying party for the purposes of this Section 8.3.
(b) In the event that any litigation, proceeding, controversy, claim or other matter is initiated by a third party against Purchaser or a Seller, and Purchaser or Sellers, as the case may be, are obligated or potentially obligated to indemnify, defend and hold the other harmless under this Article VIII, the indemnified or potentially indemnified party will reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying or potentially indemnifying party with respect to the investigation and defense of such litigation, proceeding, controversy or claim or other matter.

8.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

(i) the representations and warranties of Sellers contained in Section 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8 and 3.10 hereof shall continue in force and effect with respect to an Asset for a period of eighteen (18) months after the Applicable Closing Date for such Asset;
(ii) the representations and warranties of Sellers contained in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 hereof shall continue in force and effect for a period of eighteen (18) months after the earlier of (A) the last Closing to occur or (B) the prior termination of this Agreement; and

(b) The representations and warranties of Purchaser contained in this Agreement or any certificate delivered by or on behalf of Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated herein shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and shall continue in full force and effect for a period of eighteen (18) months after the earlier of the (i) the last Closing to occur or (ii) the prior termination of this Agreement.
(c) Purchaser may not assert any claim against Sellers for breach of any covenant contained in Article IV hereof and all such claims shall be deemed to be waived with respect to an Asset on the Applicable Closing Date for such Asset.
ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION
9.1 Termination.
(a) This Agreement may be terminated as follows:
(i) At any time by the mutual consent of Sellers and Purchaser;
(ii) By Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof because of the failure of any condition set forth in Section 7.2 hereof;
(iii) By Purchaser if Sellers fails to comply with their obligations under this Agreement;
26
(iv) By Sellers pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof because of the failure of any condition set forth in Sections 7.3(c) or (d) hereof;
(v) By Sellers pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof because of the failure of any condition set forth in Sections 7.3(a), (b) or (e) hereof;
(vi) By Sellers if Purchaser fails to comply with its obligations under this Agreement; and
(vii) By either Sellers or Purchaser, at its sole election, at any time after the Termination Date if all Closings shall not have occurred on or prior to the Termination Date and if the Party electing to so terminate this Agreement is not in default or breach of its obligations hereunder.
(b) In the event of the termination of this Agreement by Purchaser pursuant to Section 9.1(a) hereof because a Seller shall have failed to perform its obligations hereunder, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by notifying Sellers thereof, in which case Sellers shall reimburse Purchaser for the actual transaction costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser in negotiating this Agreement and conducting Purchasers due diligence investigation of the Assets in an amount not to exceed One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) if such termination is prior to the First Closing Date or in an amount not to exceed Two Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($200,000.00) if such termination is subsequent to the First Closing Date, whereupon neither Party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder. In the event of the termination of this Agreement by Sellers pursuant to Section 9.1(a) hereof because Purchaser shall have failed to perform its obligations hereunder, Sellers shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by notifying Purchaser thereof, in which Escrow Holder shall promptly pay the Earnest Money to Sellers, whereupon neither Party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder. Sellers and Purchaser hereby acknowledge and agree they have included the provisions for the payment of liquidated damages in this Section 9.1(b) because, in the event of a breach by a Party hereunder, the actual damages incurred by the other Parties can reasonably be expected to approximate the amount of liquidated damages called for, and because the actual amount of such damages would be difficult if not impossible accurately to measure.
(c) Section 2.3, Section 6.2, Article VIII and Sections 11.1, 11.12, 11.15 and 11.16 hereof shall survive each Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE X
CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION
10.1 Casualty Before Applicable Closing. In the event of damage to or destruction of all or any portion of a Facility or Encumbered Property by fire or other casualty prior to the Applicable Closing for such Facility or the applicable Mortgage Loan, Sellers shall promptly notify Purchaser. If the Tenant of such damaged Facility (or borrower, with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan) does not have the right to terminate the Tenant Lease or Mortgage Loan Documents for such affected Asset as a result of such damage or destruction, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as to such affected Asset and the applicable Seller shall (i) proceed to enforce the provisions of the Tenant Lease or Mortgage Loan
27
Documents for such affected Asset, and (ii) if such damage or destruction has not been repaired prior to the Applicable Closing Date for such affected Asset, require Purchaser to take title to such damaged Facility or the applicable Mortgage Loan and the applicable Seller shall assign to Purchaser at the Applicable Closing for such affected Asset all available casualty insurance proceeds to which such Seller is entitled under existing insurance coverages. If the Tenant of such damaged Facility (or borrower, with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan) has the right to terminate the Tenant Lease or repay the Mortgage Loan as a result of such damage or destruction, Purchaser shall have, as its sole and exclusive remedy, the option to exclude and eliminate such affected Asset from the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Seller and Purchaser shall reasonably determine an equitable adjustment to the Purchase Price to reflect the exclusion of such affected Asset from the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that this Agreement otherwise shall remain in full force and effect. If Purchaser elects to proceed with the acquisition of a damaged Facility or the applicable Mortgage Loan that Purchaser may eliminate and exclude from the terms of this Agreement pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the applicable Seller shall assign to Purchaser at the Applicable Closing for such affected Asset all available casualty insurance proceeds to which such Seller is entitled under existing insurance coverages. If Purchaser proceeds with the acquisition of such affected Asset, the Purchase Price shall not be adjusted.
10.2 Condemnation Before Applicable Closing. In the event of a condemnation or other exercise of the power of eminent domain with respect to all or any portion of a Facility or Encumbered Property prior to the Applicable Closing for such Facility or the applicable Mortgage Loan, Sellers shall promptly notify Purchaser, and, in the event such condemnation or other exercise of the power of eminent domain shall permit the Tenant of such affected Facility (or borrower, with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan) to terminate the Tenant Lease or repay the Mortgage Loan for such affected Asset, Purchaser shall have, as its sole and exclusive remedy, the option to exclude and eliminate such affected Facility or Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Seller and Purchaser shall reasonably determine an equitable adjustment to the Purchase Price to reflect the exclusion of such affected Asset from the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that this Agreement otherwise shall remain in full force and effect. As to any such affected Asset sold and transferred to Purchaser, the applicable Seller shall assign to Purchaser at the Applicable Closing for such affected Asset its right to any award resulting from such condemnation or other exercise of the power of eminent domain. If Purchaser proceeds with the acquisition of such affected Asset, the Purchase Price shall not be adjusted.
