9.1                               Real Property Apportionments.

(a)                                  Prorations.  The following items for the Facilities shall be apportioned at the Closing as of 11:59 p.m. on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date:

(i)                       fixed charges or other amounts paid or payable by or on behalf of residents under the Resident Agreements;

(v)                   rents due under the Leases;

(vi)                management fees receivable under the Management Agreements; and

If any of the foregoing cannot be apportioned at the Closing because of the unavailability of the amounts which are to be apportioned, such items shall be apportioned on the basis of a good faith estimate by the parties and reconciled as soon as practicable after the Closing Date but, in any event, no later than forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date.

(b)                                 Utilities.  Sellers shall endeavor to obtain readings of any water, gas, electric or other utility meters located at the Facilities as of the Closing Date, so that all such utilities are transferred over to Purchaser’s own accounts as of the Closing Date, and either Sellers or Purchaser, as applicable, shall pay all such invoices related to such party’s period of ownership directly to the applicable utility provider.  If all such readings cannot be obtained as of the Closing Date, then, at the Closing, the charges for any unread utilities shall be prorated based upon the per diem charges using the most recent period for which such readings are available.  Sellers and Purchaser agree to make such final recalculations within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date.

(c)                                  Tax Refunds.  If any refunds of real property taxes or assessments, water rates and charges or sewer taxes and rents shall be made after the Closing Date, the same shall be held in trust by the applicable Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, and shall first be applied to the unreimbursed costs incurred in obtaining the same and the balance, if any, shall be paid to the applicable Seller (for the period prior to the Closing Date) and to Purchaser (for the period commencing with the Closing Date).

(d)                                 Insurance Policies.  No insurance policies of Sellers are to be transferred to Purchaser, and no apportionment of the premiums therefor shall be made.

(e)                                  Net Adjustments.  If a net amount is owed by Sellers to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 9.1, such amount shall be credited against the Purchase Price.  If a net amount is owed by Purchaser to Sellers pursuant to this Section 9.1, such amount shall be added to the Purchase Price.

9.4                               Deposits.    At the Closing, in addition to the payment of the cash portion of the Purchase Price, Purchaser shall also pay to Seller in cash a sum equal to the aggregate of all pre-paid expenses, utility deposit and security deposits under any of the Leases; provided, however, to the extent any such Lease security deposit or other deposit is a letter of credit, Purchaser shall be obligated to deliver to the applicable Landlord or other party a replacement letter of credit (or such other collateral sufficient to allow the release to Sellers of such letter of credit).

ARTICLE 10
DAMAGE TO OR CONDEMNATION OF PROPERTY

10.1                        Casualty.  If, prior to the Closing, all or any material part of any Facility (taken as a whole) is destroyed or materially damaged by fire or other casualty, Sellers shall promptly notify Purchaser of such fact.  In such event, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement (in whole but not in part) by giving notice thereof to Sellers not later than ten (10) days after receiving Sellers’ notice (and, if necessary, the Closing Date shall be extended until the second Business Day after the expiration of such ten-day period).  If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, the Deposit shall be paid to Purchaser, whereupon, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect and no party shall have any rights or obligations hereunder except for the Surviving Obligations.  If less than a material part of the Facilities (taken as a whole) shall be affected or if Purchaser shall not elect to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, there shall be no abatement of the Purchase Price and the applicable Sellers shall assign to Purchaser at the Closing all of such Sellers’ right, title and interest in and to the proceeds, if any, under such Sellers’ insurance policies covering such Property with respect to such damage or destruction and there shall be credited against the Purchase Price the amount of any applicable deductible.

Such notice shall be accompanied by copies of any claim, process, legal pleading or other document received by the Indemnified Party from any Person (other than the Indemnified Party’s legal counsel) relating to any such claim, suit, action or

26

proceeding.

The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable under Section 11.1 or Section 11.2 for any loss, in respect of which indemnity may be sought if any claim, suit, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnity is sought under this Agreement with respect to such loss is settled or compromised without the prior consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

11.4                        Exclusivity.  After the Closing, this Article 11 shall provide the exclusive remedies for the incorrectness or breach of any representation, warranty or set forth in this Agreement or in any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with this Agreement.

(c)                                  by any party if there shall be any applicable law, rule, regulation or ordinance that makes the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement illegal or otherwise prohibited or if consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement would violate any non-appealable final order, decree or judgment of any court or governmental or regulatory body having competent jurisdiction (in which case the Deposit shall be delivered by Escrow Agent to Purchaser);

(d)                                 by the Sellers if any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Article 5 shall not have been fulfilled or waived (in which case, absent Sellers’ default, the Deposit shall be delivered to Sellers; provided, however, if the sole unsatisfied condition to Closing is as set forth in Sections 4.2 and 5.7, then in such event, the Escrow Agent shall disburse 50% of the Deposit to Sellers and 50% to Purchaser);

27

(f)                                    by either the Purchaser or the Sellers on or after September 1, 2011, if the parties have not obtained all required consents by each Landlord, each Robinson Operator and Mosca.  Then in such event Escrow Agent shall disburse the Deposit to Purchaser.

12.2                        Effect of Termination.  If this Agreement is terminated as permitted by Section 12.1, then, except as otherwise provided in Section 12.3, such termination shall be without liability of either party to this Agreement (or any Affiliate of such party) to the other party to this Agreement such termination or other failure to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be without further liability of either the Sellers or the Purchaser.  If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 12.1, Escrow Agent shall refund the Deposit as set forth in Section 12.1 and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder (except for the Surviving Obligations); provided, if this Agreement is terminated following a default by either party, Escrow Agent shall disburse the Deposit pursuant to Section 12.3.  Following such termination, Purchaser shall have no further claim or right against Sellers and/or to the Properties.

13.8                        Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one (1) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  Any such counterparts or signatures may be delivered by facsimile or e-mail (in .pdf format), and any counterparts or signatures so delivered shall be deemed an original counterpart or signature for all purposes related to this Agreement.

13.14                 Performance on Business Days.  In the event the date on which performance or payment of any obligation of a party required hereunder is other than a Business Day, the time for payment or performance shall automatically be extended to the first Business Day following such date.
