AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, taking into account the foregoing Recitals, and in consideration of the mutual covenants, agreements and conditions set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Buyer and Sellers agree as follows:
1. Agreement to Purchase and Sale. Sellers hereby agree to sell, convey and assign the Property to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to buy and accept the Property from Sellers, under the terms and conditions and for the purchase price hereinafter set forth.
2. Purchase Price. The purchase price to be paid for the Property (the Purchase Price) at the Close of Escrow is Ninety-Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($97,500,000) and shall be paid in the following increments at the following times:
(a) Deposit. Buyer shall make a cash deposit of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) into Escrow (as hereinafter defined) within five (5) business days of the Opening of Escrow (as hereinafter defined).
(b) Balance of Purchase Price. The balance of the Purchase Price as well as all sums necessary to pay Buyers costs and expenses in connection with this transaction shall be deposited by Buyer into Escrow in immediately available funds prior to the Close of Escrow. Buyer has no financing contingency under this Agreement.
(c) Application of Deposit. So much of the cash sums as have been actually deposited into Escrow at any given time pursuant to paragraph (a) above, together with all interest earned thereon, shall be referred to herein as the Deposit. Buyer, upon written notice, may terminate this Agreement: (i) as a result of Buyers timely disapproval of any of the contingencies set forth in Section 3 below, (ii) by reason of the failure of any condition precedent in favor of Buyer as set forth in this Agreement (excluding, however, those conditions precedent the satisfaction of which are within Buyers sole control, or regarding which, if partly within the control of Buyer and Sellers, Sellers have discharged their responsibility and Buyer remains
2
solely responsible for satisfaction of same under the terms of this Agreement), (iii) as the result of a casualty or condemnation as more particularly set forth in Section 14, or (iv) as a result of a default under this Agreement on the part of any Seller. In the event Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to one of the enumerated reasons set forth in the previous sentence, then the Deposit shall be released by Escrow Holder (as hereinafter defined) to Buyer upon demand by Buyer, after which, neither Sellers nor Buyer shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except as otherwise expressly provided under, and subject to any limitations set forth, in Sections 3(c)(x), 6(f), 12, 16 and 18(r) of this Agreement. If the purchase and sale of the Property is consummated as contemplated hereunder, the Deposit shall be applied against the Purchase Price at the Close of Escrow and shall be paid to Sellers or disbursed to the order of Sellers at the Close of Escrow. All Deposits made by Buyer pursuant to this Section 2 or Section 4 below shall be placed in one or more federally insured interest-bearing account(s) by Escrow Holder upon terms acceptable to Buyer to be held by Escrow Holder in trust for the benefit of Buyer (Federal Tax ID Number for this purpose is ###-###-#### but for application in accordance with this Agreement. If the purchase and sale of the Property is not consummated due to a default under this Agreement solely on the part of Buyer, the Deposit shall be non-refundable to Buyer and shall constitute the liquidated damages due to Sellers pursuant to Section 15 below; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer hereby agrees that in the event Sellers deliver notice to Buyer terminating this Agreement due to Buyers default, Buyer shall be estopped from negating the effect of such notice (as it pertains to the release of the Deposit to Sellers as liquidated damages) by claiming the existence of a default on the part of Sellers based on a matter which Buyer has previously waived, approved or satisfied in writing or which is otherwise under this Agreement deemed to have been waived, approved or satisfied as elsewhere provided in this Agreement.
3. Buyer Contingencies. Buyers obligation to purchase the Property and the remainder of Buyers obligations under this Agreement shall be subject to its satisfaction or waiver of each contingency set forth below (collectively, the Buyer Contingencies) within the applicable time periods indicated below. The Buyer Contingencies are for the sole benefit of Buyer. The satisfaction or waiver of each Buyer Contingency is a condition precedent to the Close of Escrow. Buyer may approve or disapprove any or all of the documents, materials, items and matters identified in this Section 3 in its sole and absolute discretion within the applicable time period therefor. Upon the actual or deemed (as provided in this Agreement) approval, waiver or satisfaction of all of the Buyer Contingencies by Buyer, the Deposit (to the extent then held in Escrow), shall be nonrefundable to Buyer and shall be considered liquidated damages in Escrow pursuant to Section 15 hereof. Nothing in the foregoing shall require Buyer to deposit into Escrow any additional sums, documents or deposits if it has timely disapproved any of the Buyer Contingencies until such disapproved Buyer Contingencies have been waived or satisfied or otherwise approved by Buyer. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyers failure to deliver a termination notice to Sellers by the Due Diligence Expiration Date shall be deemed an approval, satisfaction, or waiver of the Buyer Contingencies, except for those Buyer Contingencies that, by the terms of this Agreement, expressly survive the Due Diligence Expiration Date, all of which shall survive only until the Close of Escrow.

(a) Title and Survey.
(i) As soon as practical following the Opening of Escrow, Sellers shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Buyer an extended coverage preliminary title report or commitment on each Facility (the PTRs) prepared by First American Title Insurance Company (the Title Company), together with legible copies of all documents (Exception Documents) relating to the title exceptions referred to in the PTRs.
(ii) As soon as practical following the Opening of Escrow, Buyer shall obtain, at Buyers sole cost and expense, a survey of each Facility prepared in accordance with the Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys, jointly established and adopted by the American Land Title Association and National Society for Professional Surveyors, Inc., in 2005 (the Surveys), sufficient to enable the Title Company to issue the Title Policies (as hereinafter defined). The Surveys shall be certified as true and correct by the surveyor for the benefit of Buyer, Sellers, and the Title Company.
(iii) Within fifteen (15) calendar days after the later of (A) the Opening of Escrow or (B) Buyers receipt of the PTRs, the Exception Documents and the Surveys, Buyer shall notify Sellers in writing of any disapproved title exceptions (the Disapproved PTR Matters) and any disapproved Survey matters (the Disapproved Survey Matters). The Disapproved PTR Matters and the Disapproved Survey Matters are hereinafter collectively referred to as the Disapproved Title Matters. Any written notice from Buyer to Sellers identifying the Disapproved Title Matters shall identify such Disapproved Title Matters and describe the cure thereof that will be acceptable to Buyer (including, without limitation, the removal of any such Disapproved Title Matter or the issuance of any title insurance endorsements (the Disapproved Title Matter Endorsements) reasonably acceptable to Buyer to insure against the effects of any such Disapproved Title Matter (which Disapproved Title Matter, upon issuance of the Disapproved Title Matter Endorsement, shall be deemed a Permitted Exception (as defined below)). Subject to the Title Companys issuance of the title endorsements reasonably requested and specified in writing by Buyer, all title exceptions set forth in the PTRs other than the Disapproved PTR Matters, together with all survey matters set forth in the Surveys other than the Disapproved Survey Matters, shall collectively constitute the Permitted Exceptions. Sellers shall have ten (10) calendar days after receipt of Buyers disapproval notice to elect to cure (by Disapproved Title Matter Endorsement or otherwise) at Sellers sole cost and expense any of the Disapproved Title Matters and to deliver written notice of its election to Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other language to the contrary in this Agreement, Sellers shall have no obligation to cure any Disapproved Title Matters, and Sellers failure to deliver any such election notice shall be deemed an election not to cure any of the Disapproved Title Matters. Buyer shall then, within five (5) business days thereafter, elect, by giving written notice to Sellers and Escrow Holder, (x) to terminate this Agreement, or (y) to waive its disapproval of any such Disapproved Title Matters (and such Disapproved Title Matters shall then be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions). Buyers failure to give such notice shall be deemed an election to terminate this Agreement.
4
(iv) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Buyer Contingency set forth in this Section 3(a) shall survive the Due Diligence Expiration Date only to the extent that any or all of the foregoing time periods described in this Section 3(a) continue beyond the Due Diligence Expiration Date, but in no event beyond August 15, 2011.
(v) If the Title Company, prior to Close of Escrow, discloses to Buyer or any Seller a new exception not directly attributable to Buyer, or materially amends any exception previously approved by Buyer, or materially amends the terms under which the Title Company is willing to issue the Title Policies (as hereinafter defined), or if a Survey is materially amended, then Buyer shall have ten (10) calendar days from its receipt of notice of such disclosure, together with legible copies of all documents mentioned in such disclosure (and if necessary, the Close of Escrow shall be postponed to provide for such 10-day period), to disapprove the same by written notice to Seller. Such disapproved disclosures shall be treated as Disapproved Title Matters pursuant to Section 3(a)(iii) above and, if Sellers elect to cure such Disapproved Title Matters, the Close of Escrow shall be extended appropriately (but in no event beyond August 15, 2011) in a mutually acceptable writing signed by Buyer and Sellers. The condition precedent set forth in this subsection (v) for new disclosures or material amendments shall survive the Due Diligence Expiration Date.
(b) Buyers Due Diligence. On or before July 27, 2011 (the Due Diligence Expiration Date), Buyer shall have completed its due diligence investigation of the Property in all respects. On or prior to the Due Diligence Expiration Date, Buyer shall have approved or disapproved such matters as Buyer deems appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion with respect to the Property, including without limitation any items related to the physical condition of the Property or the Propertys suitability for Buyers intended purpose. Except if and to the extent reported to Seller and described in writing by Buyer prior to the Due Diligence Expiration Date, all matters that Buyer has or could have investigated prior to the Due Diligence Expiration Date shall be deemed approved, subject to the provisions in Sections 10, 11 and 12. In consideration for Sellers granting to Buyer the right to inspect the Property and allowing Buyer (subject to the terms set forth in Section 13) access to the Property for purposes of its due diligence, Buyer has paid to Sellers concurrently with the execution of this Agreement the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100), cash-in-hand, which amount constitutes independent consideration, separate and apart from the Purchase Price.

(viii) the most recent tax bills for the Property including, but not limited to, bills for real estate taxes and personal property taxes, if any; and all notices received by Sellers within the two years immediately preceding the date hereof and pertaining to real estate taxes or assessments applicable to the Property. Sellers shall promptly deliver to Buyer a copy of any such bills or notices received by Sellers after the date hereof (even if received by Sellers after the Due Diligence Expiration Date) and as to such later received bills and notices the condition precedent set forth in this sentence shall survive the Due Diligence Expiration Date;
(ix) Copies of any and all written notices received by Seller within the last two (2) years from any governmental or quasi-governmental authorities with respect to (A) violations or alleged violations of any License, law, code or regulation, including, without limitation, any health and sanitation, fire or building codes; (B) complaints by any residents of the Property (Residents) or their families; (C) defects or other deficiencies in the Property, and (D) results of all inspections of the Property; and

Sellers shall not be required to provide original acquisition or construction costs, personal financial information of members (whether or not related to financing of any Property), or any advice of legal counsel in the preparation of this Agreement, the Master Lease or other agreements with Buyer, or otherwise not bearing directly on the Property. Sellers shall have no responsibility for the contents of or conclusions set forth in any third party reports or materials provided by Sellers or their employees to Buyer, its agents or advisors, or examined by Buyer, its agents or advisors, during the course of its due diligence, other than disclosure to Buyer if and to the extent that such contents or conclusions are to Sellers actual knowledge inaccurate or erroneous.

Each Seller, to its actual knowledge, (i) is the sole owner of its respective Facility and (ii) has good, valid and marketable title to such Facility free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, rights, reservations, easements and other exceptions other than of record.

(i) CC&Rs. To Sellers knowledge, there are no material violations of any covenants, conditions or restrictions applicable to any Facility, and Sellers have received no actual written or oral notice or complaint with respect to any violation of any covenants, conditions or restrictions applicable to any Facility.

(i) (A) Sellers do not now, to their actual knowledge, use any Facility nor permit any Facility to be used in a manner which violates any federal, state or local law, regulation or ordinance or any judicial decisions, rules, regulations or publications promulgated thereunder regarding the environment or materials which are or could be hazardous to persons or property (collectively Environmental Enactments), nor to their actual knowledge have Sellers ever done so in the past; (B) Sellers have no actual knowledge of any violation of an Environmental Enactment on any Facility by any other prior owner of the Facilities, (C) Sellers have no actual knowledge of any discharge, seepage or release of Hazardous Materials (as hereinafter defined) onto any Facility from adjoining property; and (D) neither Sellers, nor (to Sellers actual knowledge) any prior owner, have used any Facility or allowed any Facility to be used in a way which would require notice or reporting to a governmental agency of such use under any Environmental Enactment. Without limiting the foregoing and except in de minimis quantities or for uses customary and usual in connection with the operation of a business similar to that being conducted at the Facilities, to Sellers actual knowledge: (1) no asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls, petroleum products, radon, urea or formaldehyde are contained in or stored on or under any Facility or have been released in violation of any applicable Environmental Enactments so as to require remediation under any applicable Environmental Enactments; (2) there are no Hazardous Materials on or under any Facility in violation of any Environmental Enactments; and (3) except for any propane tanks and oxygen tanks used in the ordinary course of business at the Facility in compliance with the Environmental Enactments, there are no storage tanks containing or previously containing Hazardous Materials located in or under any Facility in violation of any Environmental Enactments or which require remediation in order to comply with applicable Environmental Enactments.

Except as disclosed to Buyer in writing, or as hereafter learned by Buyer prior to the Close of Escrow and not otherwise now known by Seller, to Sellers actual knowledge, there is no growth or existence of mold or mildew in such condition, location or quantity as would, individually or in the aggregate, have any material adverse effect on (i) the value or condition of the applicable Facility; or (ii) the use of such Facility for its current or intended use.
20
(l) Third Party Consents. Subject to Sellers Contingencies, Sellers have the full right and authority to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, entering into the Master Lease and assigning to Buyer, pursuant to the terms and conditions contained herein and in the Assignment and Assumption, the General Intangibles in accordance with law and subject to their terms. To Sellers actual knowledge, no consents from third parties are required in connection therewith that have not already been obtained, or that cannot readily be obtained by the Close of Escrow, except as otherwise disclosed to Buyer in writing.
(m) Licensure. To their actual knowledge, Sellers have obtained all consents, approvals, Licenses and other permissions required to use and operate each Facility for its current and intended use under all Laws. Either a certificate of need or similar certificate required to operate the Facilities for their intended use is in full force and effect or no such certificate is so required. Sellers have no knowledge that (i) the transactions contemplated herein will in any way jeopardize or threaten the validity of any such certificate, (ii) any government agency or representative thereof has commenced or is contemplating an investigation of whether, or considers that, the operation or use of any Facility for its current and intended use has failed or will fail to comply with any Law, or (iii) there are any unsatisfied requests from any lender, insurance carrier, or government authority for repairs, restorations or alterations with regard to any Facility.
(n) Foreign Person. No Seller is a foreign person within the meaning of Section 1445(f)(3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Neither Sellers nor any of their respective investors, affiliates or, to their actual knowledge, advisor or other agents (if any), acting or benefiting in any capacity in connection with this Agreement is a Prohibited Person.
(o) Government Program Participation. Sellers, Master Tenant, and, to Sellers actual knowledge, their respective employees and agents (i) are not currently excluded, suspended, debarred or otherwise ineligible to participate in any Federal health care program as defined in 42 U.S.C. section 1320a-7b(f) or in any other government payment program; (ii) are not bound to be excluded, suspended, debarred or otherwise declared ineligible to participate in any Federal health care program or other government payment program; and (iii) have not received any written notice of any federal, state or local government investigation, and Sellers otherwise have no knowledge of any circumstances that may result in any Seller or in Master Tenant or their respective employees or agents being excluded from participation in any Federal health care program or other government payment program.

21
11. Sellers Covenants. Sellers hereby covenant with Buyer as follows:
(a) Operation of Property. At all times prior to the Close of Escrow, Sellers shall (i) operate and manage the Facilities in the ordinary course of its business and consistent with Sellers existing management policies and procedures; (ii) maintain the Facilities in good repair and working order in accordance with Sellers standard maintenance and repair program; and (iii) perform when due all of Sellers obligations under any deed of trust, mortgage or other lien encumbering the Property, the Contracts, the Licenses and other agreements relating to the Facilities, all in accordance with applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations affecting the Facilities. Except as otherwise provided herein, Sellers shall deliver each Facility at the Close of Escrow in substantially the same condition as it was on the date hereof, reasonable wear and tear, harm by Buyer or its agents, and casualty loss excepted. None of the Personal Property shall be removed from the Land or the Improvements, unless replaced by personal property of equal or greater utility and value.
(b) Exclusivity. During the pendency of the Escrow and until the Escrow and this Agreement are terminated as provided herein, Sellers shall not market the Property to any person other than Buyer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, during such period of time Sellers shall not offer the Property for sale, discuss the terms of any possible sale of the Property with any person, accept or discuss back-up offers or list the Property with any brokers. As used in the foregoing, a sale shall include any long term lease or any joint venture or equity participating loan.
(c) Review Right. During the period prior to the Close of Escrow, upon reasonable notice to Sellers (not less than twenty-four (24) hours), Buyer shall have the right to review in confidence Sellers records during normal business hours to verify any information provided by Sellers to Buyer or to confirm Sellers compliance with their representations, warranties and covenants as contained herein.
(d) Books and Records; Securities Laws. Upon Buyers request, and upon reasonable notice by Buyer, for a period of two (2) years after the Close of Escrow, Sellers shall and shall cause Master Tenant to make all of Sellers records with respect to the Property then in its possession (subject to patient privacy rights and attorney-client privileged material) available during normal business hours to Buyer for inspection and copying by Buyers designated representatives. Sellers shall (and shall cause Master Tenant to) provide Buyer, but without third-party expense to Sellers, with copies of, or access to, such factual information as may be reasonably requested by Buyer, and in the possession or control of Sellers (or Master Tenant), to enable Buyer to include such information to the extent necessary in any reporting requirements under applicable federal and state laws, including those of any successor to Buyer or any of its subsidiaries. Buyer shall exercise its rights hereunder so as not unreasonably to interfere with Master Tenants and Sellers operations, and shall reimburse Master Tenant and Sellers for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred to comply herewith. Without limitation of the foregoing, Buyer or its designated independent or other accountants may audit the financial statements and operating statements provided to Buyer as part of the Property Documents or subsequently reviewed under this Section 11(d), and Sellers shall (and shall cause Master Tenant to) supply such documentation in its possession or control as Buyer or its accountants may reasonably request in order to complete such audit. Subject to Buyers compliance with any applicable Securities or other laws and regulations, all records and information made available hereunder shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement.
22
12. Limitations on Sellers Liability.
(a) Sellers Right to Cure. If Sellers have breached any representation, warranty or covenant or default in their obligation to close the purchase of the Property for any reason other than Buyers default, Sellers disapproval of any Seller contingency, or the failure of a condition precedent in favor of Sellers, then Sellers shall have the right (but not the obligation) to undertake to cure such default (provided such default is reasonably susceptible to cure) to Buyers reasonable satisfaction within fifteen (15) days after receiving written notice of such default from Buyer, or shall notify Buyer that it does not intend to undertake such cure, before Buyer exercises any right or remedy by reason of such default.
(b) Breach of Covenants. Except as provided in Sections 6(f), 11(d), 12, 16, and 18(m), or otherwise stated in any documents delivered at the Close of Escrow pursuant to this Agreement, no covenants set forth in this Agreement are intended for the parties performance after the Close of Escrow. The liability of Sellers for a breach of any covenant that was to be performed prior to or at the Close of Escrow shall not be merged into any instrument of conveyance delivered at the Close of Escrow and shall survive the Close of Escrow for a period of one (1) year (the Covenant Survival Termination Date); provided, however, that if Buyer notifies Sellers, on or before the sixtieth (60th) day following the Covenant Survival Termination Date, of any alleged breach of a covenant occurring prior to the Covenant Survival Termination Date (a Notice of Breach of Covenant), and Buyer thereafter files a lawsuit in connection therewith against Sellers within ninety (90) days following the furnishing of said Notice of Breach of Covenant, then the applicable Covenant Survival Termination Date shall be extended with respect, and only with respect, to said alleged breach until the date on which a final judgment is obtained in said lawsuit, beyond any possibility of appeal, or such lawsuit is withdrawn or dismissed by Buyer. Except as expressly stated elsewhere in this Agreement, the effect of the covenants made in this Agreement shall not be diminished or deemed to be satisfied by any inspections, tests or investigations made by Buyer or its agents.
(c) Breach of Representations and Warranties. No representation or warranty made by Sellers in this Agreement shall merge into any instrument of conveyance delivered at the Close of Escrow but shall survive the Close of Escrow for a period of one (1) year, with the exception of the representations and warranties made in Sections 10(a), 10(b), and 10(n) above, which shall survive the Close of Escrow for a period of five (5) years (as applicable, the Rep Survival Termination Date); provided, however, that if Buyer notifies Sellers, on or before the sixtieth (60th) day following the Rep Survival Termination Date, of any alleged breach of a representation or warranty discovered by Buyer after the Close of Escrow but prior to the Rep Survival Termination Date (a Notice of Breach of Rep), and Buyer thereafter files a lawsuit in connection therewith against Sellers within ninety (90) days following the furnishing of said Notice of Breach of Rep, then the applicable Rep Survival Termination Date shall be extended solely with respect to said alleged breach until the date on which a final judgment is obtained in said lawsuit, beyond any possibility of appeal, or the date when Buyer withdraws or dismisses such lawsuit. Since the Property is being sold As-Is, the representations and warranties set forth herein are in lieu of all other representations and
23
warranties, express or implied, whether at common law, under statute or in equity, except the implied warranty resulting from the statutory form of the Deeds. Except as expressly stated elsewhere in this Agreement, the effect of the representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall not be diminished or deemed to be waived by any inspections, tests or investigations made by Buyer or its agents.
(d) Known Breaches. Notwithstanding any language in this Agreement to the contrary, should Sellers breach any representation, warranty or covenant under this Agreement prior to the Close of Escrow (other than Sellers obligation to execute documents in order to consummate the transaction, in which event Buyer may seek specific performance as set forth below) which remains uncured by the date for Close of Escrow, then (i) if Sellers have disclosed such breach to Buyer in writing prior to the Close of Escrow, or (ii) if Buyer otherwise has actual knowledge of such breach prior to the Close of Escrow, whether as a result of inspections, tests, investigations, other due diligence review made by Buyer or its agents, or by reason of information otherwise acquired by Buyer, the sole recourse available to Buyer for such breach (each such breach being referred to herein as a Known Breach) shall be either (A) to terminate this Agreement and cancel the Escrow, in which case Buyer shall receive a reimbursement of the Deposit plus, if but only if such Known Breach was caused by a Knowing Misrepresentation (as defined in Section 12(g)), its actual, out-of-pocket costs incurred with respect to the proposed transaction subject to the Reimbursement Cap and Reimbursement Floor set forth in Section 12(f)(i) below, whereupon (in either case) neither Sellers nor Buyer will have any further liability or obligations under this Agreement (except for those confidentiality and indemnity obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement); or (B) to proceed to the Close of Escrow, without reservation, in which case Buyer shall be deemed to have waived all Known Claims against Sellers and to have released Sellers thereform.
(e) Unknown Breaches. Notwithstanding any language in this Agreement to the contrary, should it become known to Buyer after the Close of Escrow that Sellers breached any surviving representation, warranty or covenant under this Agreement, and provided such breach is not the continuation of a Known Breach (all Known Breaches that continue after the Close of Escrow being subject exclusively to Section 12(d) above) the sole recourse available to Buyer for all such breaches (each such breach being referred to herein as a Unknown Breach) shall be to seek recovery of Buyers actual damages, subject to the Reimbursement Cap unless the Unknown Breach was caused by a Knowing Misrepresentation, in which case Buyers recovery shall be subject to and shall not exceed the Liability Cap set forth in Section 12(f)(ii) below. Buyer shall not in any case seek to recover consequential or exemplary damages, which are here by waived.
(f) Liability Caps and Floors.
(i) Sellers total liability in the aggregate for all Known Breaches shall be the amount of Buyers actual, out-of-pocket costs incurred with respect to the proposed transaction up to but not exceeding Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) (the Reimbursement Cap), which shall apply to any and all claims made by Buyer to recover its costs resulting from any and all uncured Known Breaches by Sellers, including any and all alleged rights of recovery and damages which Buyer may assert against Sellers, its affiliates and their respective principals, officers, managers, members,
24
employees, agents, advisors, accountants, attorneys and contractors (collectively Sellers for purposes of this Section 12) based on this Agreement, common law, equity, statute or any other theory, basis or grounds whatsoever (provided, however, the breadth of this clause shall not by implication establish that Buyer may rightfully assert any such theory, basis or grounds). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Buyers total damages proven against Sellers for all Known Breaches is less than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) (the Reimbursement Floor), then all such damages and claims shall be deemed waived and Buyer shall have no recovery against Seller based thereon.
(ii) Sellers total liability in the aggregate for all Unknown Breaches (unless an independent basis for asserting same exists under the Master Lease, in which case the provisions of the Master Lease shall govern; provided, however, the foregoing shall in no event be interpreted as requiring Buyer to pursue a claim under the Master Lease rather than under this Agreement if claims are available under both) shall be to compensate Buyer for its actual damages up to but not exceeding Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) (the Liability Cap), which shall apply to any and all claims made by Buyer arising out of or resulting from any and all uncured Unknown Breaches, including any and all alleged rights of recovery and damages which Buyer may assert against Sellers (as above defined for purposes of this Section 12) based on this Agreement, common law, equity, statute or any other theory, basis or grounds whatsoever (provided, however, the breadth of this clause shall not by implication establish that Buyer may rightfully assert any such theory, basis or grounds). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, including, without limitation, Section 18(q), the Liability Cap shall not be apportioned or otherwise allocated in any manner amongst Sellers and each Seller shall, to the extent the Liability Cap has not yet been reached, shall be liable up to (but without exceeding in the aggregate for all Sellers) the full amount of the Liability Cap for any damages or other amounts for which such Seller is liable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement with respect to Unknown Breaches.
(g) Knowing Misrepresentations and Innocent Misrepresentations. The making by Sellers of any representation or warranty knowing that the same is untrue or deceptive shall constitute a Knowing Misrepresentation. Any falsity or inaccuracy in any of the underlying facts that are the subject of any representation and/or warranty made in good faith by Sellers to their knowledge or actual knowledge shall, except to the extent constituting a Knowing Misrepresentation, constitute an Innocent Misrepresentation. For the elimination of doubt, Buyers sole recourse with respect to any Innocent Misrepresentation discovered prior to the Close of Escrow shall be to terminate this Agreement and recover the Deposit; otherwise it shall proceed to the Close of Escrow without reservation with respect to such Innocent Misrepresentation and shall assert no claim, offset or defense based thereon. Should any Innocent Misrepresentation be discovered after the Close of Escrow, Buyers recourse against Sellers (as above defined for purposes of this Section 12) with respect thereto (without in any way lessening or in any way affecting the recourse Buyer, as Master Landlord, may have under the Master Lease) shall be limited to recovering its actual damages up to but not exceeding (and subject to) the Reimbursement Cap of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00), inclusive of all other claims that are subject to the same Reimbursement Cap.
25
(h) Remedies Under Master Lease. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Reimbursement Cap nor the Liability Cap shall apply to any rights, remedies, or recoveries to which Buyer may be entitled under the Master Lease, but in no event shall Buyer be entitled to recover twice (once under this Agreement and again under the Master Lease) for the same loss or damage; provided, however, if after proceeding under either this Agreement or under the Master Lease, Buyer is only able to partially recover its actual damages then nothing in this Agreement shall preclude (or be deemed to preclude) Buyer from proceeding under the other agreement (e.g. this Agreement or the Master Lease, as applicable) in an effort to fully recover its damages.
(i) Specific Performance. If Buyer asserts a right to specific performance by reason of Sellers wrongful failure to close, Buyer shall so notify Sellers within thirty (30) days of such alleged failure and shall commence action seeking specific performance within thirty (30) days of giving such notice.
13. Right to Enter Property. Commencing on the Opening of Escrow, and continuing thereafter until the Close of Escrow or termination of this Agreement, Buyer and its agents and contractors shall have the right, at Buyers sole cost and expense, and upon at least twenty-four (24) hours prior notice to the Seller whose Facility will be affected, to enter onto the Facilities at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner for the purpose of making such tests and inspections as Buyer deems necessary in connection with this Agreement. Sellers shall assist Buyer in arranging such tests and inspections. Buyer shall not unreasonably disturb or annoy any Residents in the course of making such tests and inspections and/or interviews. Buyer understands that the Residents are receiving medical care, have contractual and statutory rights to privacy and non-disturbance, are in various states of health, and therefore are not subject to ordinary or uniformly applied standards of reasonable disturbance. Buyer shall maintain or cause its consultants to maintain liability insurance coverage applicable to such tests and inspections with coverage in an amount equal to $1,000,000 per occurrence, naming Sellers as an additional insured as their interests may appear. After making such tests and inspections, Buyer shall restore the Facilities to their respective conditions prior to such tests and inspections. Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sellers from any loss, damage, costs or expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys fees) incurred by Sellers by reason of Buyer or its agents or contractors in exercising its rights hereunder or otherwise going upon any of the Facilities prior to the Close of Escrow. The foregoing indemnity obligations shall survive the Close of Escrow or earlier termination of this Agreement. Such indemnity shall in no event extend to any costs or damages with respect to any claims of diminution in the value of any Facility, and such indemnity shall be in addition to Sellers right to the Deposit as liquidated damages for breach of this Agreement. As a condition to the Close of Escrow (solely for the benefit of Buyer), Buyer and its agents and contractors shall have the right, subject to the provisions herein, to enter onto the Facilities to determine that the condition of the Facilities, with respect to the contingencies set forth in Section 3, has not materially and adversely changed from the date of the approval of such contingencies. The foregoing condition precedent shall survive the Due Diligence Expiration Date.
14. Loss by Fire, Other Casualty or Condemnation. If prior to the Close of Escrow, any Facility, or any part thereof, is destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty, or is subject to a taking by a public authority, then Buyer shall have the right, exercisable by giving
26
notice to Sellers within fifteen (15) days after receiving written notice of such damage or destruction or taking (and if necessary, the Close of Escrow shall be postponed to provide for such 15-day period) to do one of the following: (a) terminate this Agreement, in which case neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder and any money or documents in Escrow shall be returned to the party depositing the same, except that Buyer and Sellers shall each be responsible for one-half of any title or Escrow cancellation fee; (b) accept the Property (including the destroyed, damaged or condemned Facility(ies)) in its then condition and proceed to close this transaction with an abatement or reduction in the Purchase Price in the amount of the deductible for the applicable insurance coverage, if any, and to receive an assignment of all of Sellers rights to any insurance proceeds payable by reason of such damage or destruction or condemnation awards payable by reason of such taking; or (c) exclude the destroyed, damaged or condemned Facility(ies) from the definition of Property and proceed to close this transaction with respect to the remainder of the Property and the Purchase Price shall be equitably abated. If Buyer elects to proceed under clause (b) above, Sellers shall not compromise, settle or adjust any claims to such proceeds or awards without Buyers prior written consent. Sellers agree to give Buyer prompt notice of any taking, damage or destruction of the Property. The foregoing condition shall survive the Due Diligence Expiration Date.
15. Liquidated Damages. IF BUYER DEFAULTS IN ITS OBLIGATIONS TO CLOSE THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN SELLERS DEFAULT, BUYERS DISAPPROVAL OF ANY CONTINGENCY, THE FAILURE OF A CONDITION PRECEDENT IN FAVOR OF BUYER, OR BUYERS EXERCISE OF ITS RIGHT TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND BUYER FAILS TO CURE SUCH DEFAULT WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) DAYS AFTER RECEIVING WRITTEN NOTICE OF SUCH DEFAULT FROM SELLERS, OR, IF SUCH DEFAULT IS NOT REASONABLY SUSCEPTIBLE OF BEING CURED WITHIN SUCH FIFTEEN (15) DAY PERIOD, IF BUYER FAILS TO COMMENCE TO CURE SUCH DEFAULT WITHIN SUCH FIFTEEN (15) DAY PERIOD, THEN, UPON DEMAND BY SELLERS, THE DEPOSIT SHALL BE PAID TO AND RETAINED BY SELLERS AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT BUYERS RIGHT TO TERMINATE FOR SELLERS DEFAULT SHALL BE SUBJECT TO AND EXERCISED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SELLERS CURE PERIOD AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 11. THE PARTIES HERETO EXPRESSLY AGREE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SELLERS ACTUAL DAMAGES IN THE EVENT OF A DEFAULT BY BUYER WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT OR IMPRACTICABLE TO ASCERTAIN AND THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT REPRESENTS THE PARTIES REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN ANY AND ALL ACTIONS BROUGHT PURSUANT TO OR TO ENFORCE BUYERS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, IT SHALL BE CONCLUSIVELY PRESUMED THAT THE ABOVE-DESCRIBED LIQUIDATED DAMAGES SHALL BE THE SOLE REMEDY OF SELLER IN THE EVENT OF BUYERS DEFAULT HEREUNDER AND IT SHALL NOT BE PROPER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES THAT BUYERS OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY BE SPECIFICALLY ENFORCED.
27
16. Financial Advisory Fee. In connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, at the Close of Escrow, Sellers shall pay a financial advisory fee of $750,000.00 plus reimbursable expenses to Signal Hill Capital Group LLC (the Advisory Fee). The Advisory Fee shall be paid through Escrow at the close thereof. With the exception of such Advisory Fee, Buyer and Sellers each represent to the other that they have not entered into any agreement or incurred any obligation which might result in the obligation to pay an advisory fee, sales or brokerage commission, finders fee or similar remittance (collectively, Commission) with respect to this transaction. Buyer and Sellers each agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, costs or expenses (including attorneys fees) which the other may incur as a result of any claim made by any person to a right to a Commission in connection with this transaction to the extent such claim is based, or purportedly based, on the acts or omissions of Sellers or Buyer, as the case may be. The obligations of Buyer and Sellers under this Section 16 shall survive the Close of Escrow or any termination of this Agreement.
17. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to be made hereunder to the parties hereto shall be made in writing to the addresses set forth below and shall be given by any of the following means: (a) personal service; (b) electronic communication, including e-mail or facsimile transmission (provided, however, that notice is also given by one of the other means set forth in Section 17(a), (c), or (d)); (c) certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested; or (d) nationally recognized courier or delivery service. Such addresses may be changed by notice to the other parties given in the same manner as provided above. Any notice, demand or request sent pursuant to either Section 17(a), (b) or (d) hereof shall be deemed received upon the actual delivery thereof during business hours on a business day (or, if not delivered during business hours on a business day, then during the next business day), and, if sent pursuant to Section 17(c) shall be deemed received five (5) business days following deposit in the mail. Refusal to accept delivery of any notice, request or demand shall be deemed to be delivery thereof. If any party hereto is not an individual, notice may be made on any officer, general partner or principal thereof. Notice to any one co-party shall be deemed notice to all co-parties.

FORM OF PRE-APPROVED PRESS RELEASE
Sabra Health Care REIT Announces Agreement for Sale and Leaseback of Four Skilled Nursing Facilities and Closing of Oak Brook Health Care Center Acquisition
IRVINE, CA, July 11, 2011 Sabra Health Care REIT, Inc. (Sabra) (NASDAQ: SBRA) announced today that it has entered into an agreement to acquire four skilled nursing facilities with a combined total of 500 beds in the Mid-Atlantic Region for $97.5 million. The facilities will be operated under a long-term lease, which is expected to provide an initial yield on cash rent of 8.75%. Three of the facilities are relatively new, built between 2005 and 2009, and the fourth, built in 1996, is currently under renovation.
The purchase agreement is subject to customary conditions, including the satisfactory completion of Sabras due diligence investigation. Sabra expects that the transaction will close during the third quarter of 2011. Signal Hill Capital Group LLC is acting as exclusive financial advisor to the sellers in connection with this transaction.
Commenting on the transaction, Rick Matros, CEO and Chairman of Sabra, said, These assets are premier rehabilitation, skilled nursing and long-term care facilities in the Mid-Atlantic Region, with an excellent management team. Operating out of modern, purpose-built facilities, these facilities are able to care for medically complex patients as well as those requiring rehabilitation after a hospital stay. These are quality assets that clearly enhance the Sabra portfolio. This acquisition is also significant in that it accelerates our diversification from Sun Healthcare Group and adds new markets to our geographic footprint, which should help us lower our cost of capital. Our purchase agreement took into careful consideration the current Medicare reimbursement environment, which resulted in a purchase price that we believe provides a fair valuation for these assets, while taking into consideration the uncertainty around this issue.
Sabra also announced today that it closed its previously announced acquisition of Oak Brook Health Care Center in Whitehouse, Texas on June 30, 2011.
