If, prior to Closing, either Purchaser or Seller discovers a fact or circumstance which would render a representation or warranty by a Seller or Facility Owner inaccurate in any material respect as of the Effective Date or the Closing Date, it shall promptly advise the other party thereof in writing. If Purchaser is so advised of such a fact or circumstance prior to Closing, it shall have the option, exercisable within five (5) business days thereafter to either (i) elect to terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Deposit and, if such inaccuracy was known to Seller’s Representative as of the Effective Date, reimbursement by Seller of Purchaser’s Expenses up to a maximum of $250,000 or (ii) to waive such inaccuracy, in which event Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived all rights, claims and causes of action against Seller or any of them related thereto and the representation or warranty shall be deemed amended to reflect such fact or circumstance disclosed by Seller to Purchaser in writing prior to Closing.

(b)    No Conflict. Neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement by Purchaser, nor performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement, nor consummation of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, will conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, the terms and conditions of the organizational documents under which Purchaser was organized, or any agreement to which Purchaser is a party or by which it is bound, or any order of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over Purchaser.

(c)    Affiliates. Purchaser is an Affiliate of Existing Tenant. Purchaser is familiar with the Existing Leases and understands that, except as otherwise provided in the Existing Leases, Existing Tenant has the sole responsibility and obligation for the management, operation, use, maintenance, repair, placement of insurance and payment of insurance premiums, payment of taxes, employees, care of residents, and all other operational aspects of the Facilities as more particularly set forth in the Existing Leases.

12.    Closing.

Subject to this Section 12(a) and to the satisfaction of the conditions to closing set forth in this Agreement, Closing will occur through an escrow with the Seattle office of Escrow Agent, whereby Seller, Purchaser and their attorneys need not be physically present and may deliver documents by overnight air courier or other means, on the date (the “Closing

Date”) that is thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Inspection Period (“Closing”). The Closing shall occur and delivery of all Closing documents shall occur in Seattle, Washington.

(b)    Closing Deliveries and Costs. Prior to Closing, Seller will deposit (or will cause each Facility Owner to deposit, as applicable) in escrow three (3) originals of each of the Conveyance Documents, each duly executed by Seller; a duly executed non-foreign affidavit in accordance with Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code; a duly executed certified Operating Contract List dated no more than five (5) business days prior to Closing; a duly executed officer’s certificate certifying that the representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement are true, correct and complete in all material respects and that the covenants and other agreements of Seller required by this Agreement to be complied with, performed or satisfied have been complied with, performed or satisfied in all material respects; instruments of title to the vehicles, if any, comprising part of the Personal Property owned by Property Sellers and such duly executed transfer documents as are required under law of the State in which the Real Property relating to each Facility is located to effectively transfer ownership to Purchaser of such vehicles; such applicable sales tax or real property transfer tax forms or declarations or similar forms executed by Seller and Purchaser as required by Law; such reasonable and customary affidavits, gap indemnities, no change affidavits for the Surveys (to the extent applicable), non-imputation endorsements (with respect to any transfer of Facility Owner Interests) and other customary agreements as reasonably requested by the Title Company to cause the Title Company to issue the Title Policy for each Facility, all as reasonably requested by Purchaser, the Title Company or the Escrow Agent, any and all conveyance, assignment and all other instruments and documents as may be reasonably necessary in order to complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement.

Purchaser shall be responsible for the following closing costs: the title insurance premium for the Title Policy for each Facility attributable to extended coverage or any endorsements requested by Purchaser; one-half (1/2) of the basic escrow fee and all title and escrow fees and all charges allocable to Purchaser’s financing or assumption or prepayment of the Existing Loans for this transaction including, without limitation, prepayment fees or premiums, assumption fees, title endorsements, and related expenses (if any). Seller will pay the title insurance premium for a standard coverage policy of title insurance for each Facility (provided, if Purchaser does not elect to obtain title insurance from First American Title Insurance Company, Purchaser shall pay any portion of such premium charged by the Title Company which exceeds the bid amount obtained by Seller from First American Title Insurance Company for such title insurance), the recording fee on the Deeds; one-half (1/2) of the escrow fee, other than any portion thereof allocable to Purchaser’s financing for this transaction; and any transfer taxes on the Real Property. Each party will pay its own attorneys’ fees. Any other costs and fees, such as sales tax on personal property or personal

property tax due and payable in any jurisdiction will be paid by the party that customarily pays those costs and fees in transactions in such jurisdiction.

(c)    Contracts and Records. Seller’s Representative will deliver or cause each Facility Owner to deliver to Purchaser, outside of escrow at Closing, and will make available for copying by Purchaser, at Purchaser’s expense, all other records of Seller relating to the Property (but not Property Seller) and all other records of each Facility Owner, in each case which have not previously been copied by Purchaser, except those which Seller was excused from delivering under terms of Section 8 above. Except as prohibited by any Law, Purchaser will make such documentation reasonably available to Seller at each Facility for copying by Seller, upon Seller’s written request, if Seller needs such in connection with claims or litigation related to periods prior to Closing, subject to Seller’s agreement to pay for the cost of such copying. At Purchaser’s request, to the extent required by applicable law, Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser in the preparation and delivery of a resident notification letter, duly executed by Seller if requested by Purchaser, notifying each Resident under a Resident Agreement that the Facility has been conveyed to Purchaser, in form reasonably acceptable to Seller and Purchaser.

Real and personal property taxes and assessments will be prorated on the basis of the most recent tax statements available as of Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) any Operating Expenses or other income and expense of operating and managing the Facilities paid or payable by the Existing Tenant pursuant to the Existing Leases shall not be prorated between Purchaser and Seller but shall be prorated between Purchaser and Existing Tenant as contemplated by the Landlord Direction and Operating Transfer Agreement; (b) in addition to the purchase price, Purchaser shall pay the applicable Seller for the full amount of any escrows or other amounts on deposit in connection with the Existing Loans assumed at Closing which escrows or other amounts will be held for the benefit of Purchaser or the Facility Owners following the Closing; and (c) except as provided in the foregoing subsection (b), all cash in all accounts of Property Sellers and Facility Owners as of midnight of the day before the Closing Date shall not be prorated, shall remain the property of the applicable Property Sellers and Facility Owners and shall be distributed to the Property Sellers and Facility Owners before or after Closing.

(b)    Calculation of Prorations. For purposes of calculating prorations, Seller will be in title to the Real Property, and therefore entitled to the income therefrom and responsible for the expenses thereof (subject to the terms of clause (a) above and of the Existing Leases), through midnight of the day before the Closing Date. All prorations will be made on the basis of the actual number of days of the year and month which have elapsed as of the Closing Date. The amount of

prorations will be adjusted in cash after the Closing, as and when complete and accurate information becomes available. By no later than (i) ninety (90) days after Closing, Purchaser will provide Seller with a final accounting of Operating Expenses for periods prior to Closing, if any, and (ii) thirty (30) days after Purchaser receives the final bill for Taxes of the Facilities for the applicable period in which the Closing occurs, Purchaser will provide Seller with a final account of such Taxes. Purchaser will reimburse Seller for overpayments of Taxes and Operating Expenses by Seller or payments made by Seller relating to periods after Closing, if any. Seller will reimburse Purchaser for payments made by Purchaser relating to periods prior to Closing, if any.

up to a maximum of $250,000, and Seller shall pay for all of the cancellation charges, if any, of Escrow Agent and Title Company.`

18.    Remedies.

(a)    IF THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT OCCUR BY REASON OF ANY DEFAULT BY PURCHASER AFTER NOTICE FROM SELLER TO PURCHASER SPECIFYING SUCH BREACH AND FAILURE TO CURE THE SAME WITHIN A PERIOD OF TEN (10) DAYS FROM AND AFTER DELIVERY OF SUCH NOTICE, PURCHASER AND SELLER AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE THE DAMAGES THAT SELLER MAY SUFFER. THEREFORE, PURCHASER AND SELLER AGREE THAT A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE TOTAL NET DETRIMENT THAT SELLER WOULD SUFFER IN THE EVENT THAT PURCHASER DEFAULTS AND FAILS TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE OF THE ASSETS IS AND WILL BE, AND SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY (WHETHER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY), AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE DEPOSIT. THIS AMOUNT WILL BE THE FULL, AGREED AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT BY PURCHASER. THE PAYMENT OF THIS AMOUNT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY, BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER. UPON ANY DEFAULT BY PURCHASER, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE TERMINATED AND NEITHER PARTY WILL HAVE ANY FURTHER RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS UNDER IT, EXCEPT FOR THE RIGHT OF SELLER TO COLLECT SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FROM PURCHASER AND THE OBLIGATIONS OF PURCHASER UNDER SECTION 7 ABOVE.

(b)    If the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement does not occur by reason of any default by Seller after notice from Purchaser to Seller specifying such breach and failure to cure the same within a period of ten (10) days from and after delivery of such notice (provided, however, Seller shall be in immediate default without the necessity of notice or any opportunity to cure if it breaches (or any Facility Owner intentionally causes a breach of) Seller’s obligation to Close and convey title to the Assets on the Closing Date or intentionally breaches any representation, warranty or covenant made by Seller under this Agreement), Purchaser will have the right, as its sole remedy under this Agreement, to either (i) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of termination to Seller, whereupon the Escrow Agent shall promptly return the entire Deposit to Purchaser, Seller shall promptly reimburse Purchaser for Purchaser’s Expenses up to a maximum of $250,000, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, both Purchaser and Seller shall be relieved of any further obligations or liabilities hereunder except for Surviving Obligations, or (ii) seek specific performance. In no event will Seller be liable to Purchaser for consequential or incidental damages, including, but not limited to, lost profits.

19.    Casualty; Condemnation. If any Facility or other portion of the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty or becomes the subject of a condemnation proceeding affecting any Facility prior to Closing and the damage is in excess of or the portion of the Facility (or other Property) taken has a fair market value in excess of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) (the “Floor”), Purchaser will have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Facility and the related Property (and, as applicable, the relevant Facility Owner Interests) and, in such event the Purchase Price shall be reduced by that portion of the Purchase Price allocated to such Facility and the related Property, if it so notifies Seller in writing not later than the first to occur of (a) ten (10) days after it is advised of the casualty or condemnation proceeding or (b) Closing; provided, however, Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement if Existing Tenant is obligated under the Existing Leases to restore such casualty or condemnation. Seller will notify Purchaser in writing of a casualty or condemnation affecting any Facility or any other portion of the Property within the earlier of (i) Closing or (ii) five (5) days of Seller’s receipt of notice thereof and, if the casualty or condemnation is less than or equal to the Floor, will assign to Purchaser at Closing Seller’s rights with respect to all insurance or condemnation proceeds related thereto and pay to Purchaser the amount of any insurance deductible. If the casualty is in excess of or the portion of the Facility and related Property taken has a fair market value in excess of the Floor, and Purchaser elects not to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Facility as contemplated above, then Seller will assign to Purchaser at Closing Seller’s rights with respect to all insurance or condemnation proceeds related thereto and, if Seller has not already paid the deductible, Purchaser shall be entitled to a credit toward the Purchase Price in the amount of any deductible.

20.    Confidentiality; Post Closing Obligations.

(a)    From the execution of this Agreement through the termination of this Agreement, or the Closing, and thereafter, each Party shall use all information that it obtains from the other pursuant to this Agreement solely for the effectuation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or for other reasonable purposes consistent with the intent of this Agreement (the “Approved Purpose”) and shall not use any of such information for any other purpose, including, without limitation, the competitive detriment of the other Parties. Each Party may disclose such

information to its respective affiliates, counsel, accountants, tax advisors and consultants. Additionally, each Party agrees that it shall not make any announcement, press release or disclosure regarding the nature or existence of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior consent of the other Party, provided any Party may disclose this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereto as may be required pursuant to, or to be included in, any filing, report, statement or testimony required to be submitted to any stock exchange, Governmental Authority, or any municipal, state or national regulatory body having jurisdiction over such Party or its Affiliates. This provision shall not prohibit the use or disclosure of confidential information provided by one Party pursuant to court order or Applicable Law or which has otherwise become publicly available through no fault of the other Party.

(b)    Non-Solicitation. For a period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, none of Seller, Seller’s Affiliates and/or Seller’s Representative shall, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, take, hire, solicit or entice any employee of Purchaser (or any employee of any Affiliate of Purchaser) or any manager, operator or independent contractor that is engaged by Purchaser (or any Affiliate of Purchaser) to operate, manage or otherwise conduct the business of any of the Facilities (or relating to the Facilities or the other Property) to leave the employment of, or terminate the engagement by, Purchaser or its Affiliate.

(c)    Non-Compete. Subject to the exceptions set forth in the Disclosure Letter, for a period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, none of Seller, Seller’s Affiliates and/or Seller’s Representative shall, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, directly or indirectly (or through any Person in which it directly or indirectly holds an interest) develop, own any interest in, manage, lease, operate, participate in, receive revenues from, construct, acquire or render services to senior housing facility located within ten (10) miles of any Facility.

Purchaser acknowledges that the lenders for the Existing Loans may require replacement guaranties, environmental indemnities and/or other agreements from Purchaser, its members and/or other guarantors.

(iii)    Upon receipt of Purchaser’s reasonable written request at any time and from time to time from and after the Effective Date and until the date that is three (3) years after the Closing, Seller shall, at Seller’s principal place of business maintain and, during normal business hours, make all books, records, files and financial statements of the Facility Owners and the Property Sellers available to Purchaser for inspection and copying (at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense).

respect to such financial statements (including the consent of the Accounting Firm to the inclusion of such opinion in one or more reports or registration statements that may be filed by Purchaser or its Affiliates with the Securities and Exchange Commission), (C) causing the Accounting Firm to issue one or more customary comfort letters with respect to the financial information of the Purchaser and its Affiliates, and (D) causing the Accounting Firm to perform a review of any interim financial periods in accordance with AU 722 as promulgated by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in order to be able to provide customary comfort with respect to such periods.

In making such determination, Seller and Purchaser each did not and will not rely upon any written or oral statement, representation or warranty made by or on behalf of another party, whether or not contained in this Agreement, as to the applicability of the HSR Act to the transactions contemplated under this Agreement.

23.    Transfer. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties to this Agreement and their heirs, successors and assigns; provided, however, Purchaser may not assign its rights under this Agreement without Seller’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in Seller’s sole discretion; provided further, Purchaser may assign all or any portion of this Agreement or its rights hereunder, or delegate all or any portion of its duties or obligations hereunder, to an Affiliate without written consent from Seller, provided that Purchaser gives Seller notice of the assignment or delegation and that such assignment or delegation does not relieve Purchaser of

No waiver by any party of any breach under this Agreement will be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

32.    Facsimile Signatures. Each party (i) has agreed to permit the use, from time to time and where appropriate, of telecopied signatures in order to expedite the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) intends to be bound by its respective telecopied signature, (iii) is aware that the other will rely on the telecopied signature, and (iv) acknowledges such reliance and waives any defenses to the enforcement of the documents effecting the transaction contemplated by this Agreement based on the fact that a signature was sent by telecopy.

35.    Indemnification.

(a)    Indemnity by Seller. Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Purchaser and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, managers, agents and representatives (the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) harmless from any liability, claim, demand, loss, expense or damage, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and costs (collectively, “Claims”) arising out of any material breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Seller set forth in this Agreement first discovered by Purchaser after the Closing (except with respect to representations, warranties or covenants that are by their terms qualified by “materiality”, any breach of such representation, warranty or covenant).

(b)    Indemnity by Purchaser. Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, managers, members, agents and representatives harmless from any Claim arising out of (i) any material breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Purchaser set forth in this Agreement (except with respect to representations, warranties or covenants that are by their terms qualified by “materiality”, any breach of such representation, warranty or covenant), (ii) any breach or default by Purchaser, its agents, employees or contractors under the Conveyance Documents, and (iii) the ownership and operation of the Facilities on and after the Closing.

(c)    Indemnity Procedure. The following provisions govern all actions for indemnity under this Section 35 and any other provision of this Agreement. Promptly after receipt by an indemnitee of notice of any Claim, such indemnitee will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnitor, deliver to the indemnitor written notice of the Claim. After such notice, the indemnitor will be entitled, if it so elects at its own cost, risk and expense, (i) to take control of the defense and investigation of such lawsuit or action, (ii) to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice to handle and defend the Claim, and (iii) to compromise or settle the Claim, which compromise or settlement may be made only with the written consent of the indemnitee, which will not unreasonably withhold its consent. If the indemnitor fails to assume the defense of the Claim within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Claim notice, the indemnitee against which such Claim has been asserted will (upon delivering notice to such effect to the indemnitor) have the right to undertake, at the indemnitor’s sole cost and expense (to be reimbursed as accrued), the defense, compromise or settlement of such Claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the indemnitor. In the event the indemnitee assumes the defense of the Claim, the indemnitee will keep the indemnitor reasonably informed of the progress of any defense, compromise or settlement. The indemnitor will be liable for any settlement of any action effected under this Section 35 subject to the written consent of the indemnitor and for any final judgment (subject to any right of appeal). The indemnitor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless an indemnitee from and against any losses by reason of such a settlement or judgment; provided, however, that if an indemnitee settles a Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnitor, then the indemnitor will be released from liability with respect to that Claim unless the indemnitor has unreasonably withheld its consent. The failure of indemnitee to deliver written notice to the indemnitor within a reasonable time after indemnitee receives notice of any Claim will relieve the indemnitor of any liability to the indemnitee under this indemnity only if and to the extent that the failure is prejudicial to the indemnitor’s ability to defend that action.

(d)    Indemnification Limits. The aggregate liability of Seller for all Claims of indemnification under Section 35(a) of this Agreement will be limited as provided in Section 10.

(e)    Limitations. Hawthorne Development LLC, a Washington limited liability company, shall be liable for Seller’s indemnification obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the individual members or partners of the Entity Selling Group shall not be liable for Seller’s indemnification obligations hereunder except for the representations and warranties made at Closing in the Assignment of Facility Owner Interest attached hereto as Exhibit 8.

(f)    Survival. The terms of this Section 35 will survive the Closing; provided, however, that the indemnity by Seller of any breach of its representations and warranties will survive

only for a period of thirty six (36) months after Closing and be subject to the conditions in Section 10 and the indemnity by Purchaser will survive only for a period of thirty six (36) months after Closing.
