Section 13.2     Disclosure Schedules.

(a)    Each schedule to this Agreement (as may be amended from time to time by a Schedule Supplement, the “Schedules”) shall be considered a part hereof as if set forth herein in full. From the date hereof until the Closing Date, each of the Parties may update their respective Schedules (but only to reflect events occurring after the date hereof), subject to the other Party’s approval rights described below (any such update, a “Schedule Supplement”). If a Party, after having a period of five (5) Business Days to review any such Schedule Supplement proposed by another Party, determines in its reasonable discretion that it should not consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement because such Schedule Supplement discloses facts or circumstances having, as applicable, an MPT Material Adverse Effect or a Steward Material Adverse Effect (individually or in the aggregate with facts or circumstances disclosed in the original Schedules or any amended or modified Schedule), then such Party may terminate this Agreement on or before the Closing by giving a written notice to the other Party (a “Termination Notice”), whereupon the other Parties shall be entitled, for a period of ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of the Termination Notice, to cure the matter that has triggered such Termination Notice.

(b)    Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any such Schedule Supplement after the date of this Agreement (i) shall be disregarded in all respects for purposes of determining whether any Losses exist or is indemnifiable under this Agreement and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, shall not prejudice or otherwise affect any Party’s right to seek relief for another Party’s breach of a representation or warranty or affect the Party’s right to indemnification under Section 10.1, Section 11.1, or Section 11.2 hereof.

(c)     In the event that IASIS shall make any amendment, modification or supplement to any representation, warranty, covenant or related disclosure schedule in the Merger Agreement relating, directly or indirectly, to any of the Real Property or if Steward shall otherwise have Knowledge that any of the representations and warranties of the IASIS Parties contained in the Realty Agreement (without giving effect to any limitation as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect”, or similar terms set forth therein) do not remain true and correct for any reason, then Steward shall immediately notify the MPT Parties of the same and make any necessary updates to the disclosure schedules to the Realty Agreement (any such update, a “Realty Agreement Supplement”). If the MPT Parties, after having a period of five (5) Business Days to review any such Realty Agreement Supplement proposed by Steward, determines in the MPT Parties’ reasonable discretion that the MPT Parties should not consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement because such Realty Agreement Supplement discloses facts or circumstances having, as applicable, a “Steward Material Adverse Effect” (individually or in the aggregate with facts or circumstances disclosed in the original schedules to the Realty Agreement or any amended or modified schedule to the Realty Agreement), then such Party may terminate this Agreement on or before the Closing by giving a Termination Notice, whereupon the other Parties shall be entitled, for a period of ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of the Termination Notice, to cure the matter that has triggered such Termination Notice.

(d)     In the event that IASIS shall make any amendment, modification or supplement to any representation, warranty, covenant or related disclosure schedule in the Purchase Agreement relating, directly or indirectly, to any of the Real Property or if the MPT Parties shall otherwise have Knowledge that any of the representations and warranties of the IASIS Parties contained in the Purchase Agreement (without giving effect to any limitation as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect”, or similar terms set forth therein) do not remain true and correct for any reason, then the MPT Parties shall immediately notify Steward of the same and make any necessary updates to the disclosure schedules to the Purchase Agreement (any such update, a “Purchase Agreement Supplement”). If Steward, after having a period of five (5) Business Days to review any such Purchase Agreement Supplement proposed by the MPT Parties, determines in Steward’s reasonable discretion that Steward should not consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement because such Purchase Agreement Supplement discloses facts or circumstances having, as applicable, an “MPT Material Adverse Effect” (individually or in the aggregate with facts or circumstances disclosed in the original schedules to the Purchase Agreement or any amended or modified schedule to the Purchase Agreement), then such Party may terminate this Agreement on or before the Closing by giving a Termination Notice, whereupon the other Parties shall be entitled, for a period of ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of the Termination Notice, to cure the matter that has triggered such Termination Notice.

Section 13.3     Assignment. This Agreement is not assignable by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the MPT Parties may at any time and without the consent of Steward assign all of the MPT Parties’ rights and obligations hereunder to any Affiliate of the MPT Parties; provided, however, that no such assignment shall relieve or release the MPT Parties from their obligations hereunder.

Section 13.4    Severability. The Parties agree that each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement or any application of this Agreement (as to any Party or otherwise) is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision or application shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement or any other applications of this Agreement.

Section 13.9    Specific Performance and Remedies.

(a)    The Parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by them in accordance with the terms hereof or were

The Parties hereto agree not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches of this Agreement by Steward, on the one hand, and to prevent or restrain breaches of this Agreement by the MPT Parties, on the other hand, and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement. Each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding relating to this Section 13.9, for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Section 13.9 in any court other than the aforesaid courts. For purposes of this Section 13.9, each of the Parties hereto hereby consents to service of process in accordance with the terms of Section 13.7 of this Agreement.

(b)    If the Closing shall not have occurred because of a breach by any of the Parties of their respective obligations under this Agreement and all of the conditions to such Parties’ obligations as set forth in Article 7 have either been satisfied or previously waived (or would have been satisfied or are capable of being satisfied but for such breach of such Parties’ respective obligations under this Agreement), subject to Sections 13.9(d) and (e) below then the non-breaching Parties shall have the right to a court order specifically enforcing the provisions of this Agreement to which such breach applies and, in any event, to specifically force the Closing to occur.

(c)    In no event shall either party be entitled to both specific performance and damages. Neither party shall be entitled to special, punitive or consequential damages.

(e)    For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.9, the MPT Parties acknowledge that the MPT Parties shall not be entitled to an injunction or injunctions or otherwise to enforce specifically the provisions of this Agreement unless IASIS is entitled to seek specific performance to cause Steward and Merger Sub to consummate the Merger pursuant to Section 10.12 of the Merger Agreement.
