PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

 

This Purchase and Sale Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of __________, 2012, by and between NANTUCKET ACQUISITION LLC, a Delaware limited liability company authorized to transact business in Massachusetts under the name "Nantucket Senior Housing Acquisition” (“Seller”), and NORTHBRIDGE COMMUNITIES, LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company (“Buyer”).

 

RECITALS

 

A.           Seller owns the Property which includes the Senior Housing Facility described on Exhibit B attached hereto; and

 

B.           Seller desires to sell and Buyer desires to purchase the Property upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

AGREEMENT

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Seller hereby agrees to sell and Buyer hereby agrees to purchase the Property upon and subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

ARTICLE 1: DEFINITIONS

 

1.1.         Definitions. Initially capitalized terms which are used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

 

ARTICLE 2: CONSIDERATION, DEPOSIT AND ESCROW PROVISIONS

 

2.1.         Purchase Price. The Purchase Price, subject to the prorations and adjustments set forth herein, shall be paid as follows:

 

(a)          Buyer shall pay a deposit to Escrow Agent in the amount of One Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) (such amount, together with any Additional Deposit paid under Article 5 hereof, collectively, the “Deposit”) on or before the date which is two (2) business days after the execution and delivery of this Agreement by both Seller and Buyer; and

 

(b)          The balance of the Purchase Price shall be paid in cash at the time of Closing.

 

The Deposit shall be applied to the Purchase Price at Closing, notwithstanding any provision hereof as to the non-refundability of the Deposit or any portion thereof.

 

2.2.         Deposit; Escrow Agent.

 

(a)          Upon receipt from Buyer of the Deposit, Escrow Agent shall invest the Deposit in an interest-bearing account or money market fund mutually acceptable to Seller and Buyer. Escrow Agent shall agree to hold and dispose of the Deposit in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. If the Closing occurs, any interest on the Deposit shall be credited to Buyer and applied to the Purchase Price. If the Closing does not occur, any interest earned on the Deposit shall follow the Deposit.

 

(b)          The parties hereto do hereby certify that they are aware that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) coverages may apply only to a cumulative maximum amount of $250,000 for each individual deposit for all of depositor’s accounts at the same or related institution. The parties hereto further understand that certain banking instruments such as, but not limited to, repurchase agreements and letters of credit are not covered at all by FDIC insurance. Further the parties hereto understand that Escrow Agent assumes no responsibility for, nor will the parties hereto hold Escrow Agent liable for, any loss occurring which arises from the fact that the amount of the above account may cause the aggregate amount of any individual depositor’s accounts to exceed $250,000 and that the excess amount is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or that FDIC insurance is not available on certain types of bank instruments.

2.3.          Escrow Provisions. Escrow Agent agrees to hold, keep and deliver the Deposit and all other sums delivered to it pursuant hereto in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Escrow Agent shall not be entitled to any fees or compensation for its services hereunder other than its customary one-time escrow fee. Escrow Agent shall be liable only to hold said sums and deliver the same to the parties named herein in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, it being expressly understood that by acceptance of this Agreement Escrow Agent is acting in the capacity of a depository only and shall not be liable or responsible to anyone for any damages, losses or expenses unless same shall have been caused by the gross negligence or willful malfeasance of Escrow Agent. In the event of any disagreement between Buyer and Seller resulting in any adverse claims and demands being made in connection with or for the monies involved herein or affected hereby, Escrow Agent shall be entitled to refuse to comply with any such claims or demands so long as such disagreement may continue; and in so refusing Escrow Agent shall make no delivery or other disposition of any of the monies then held by it under the terms of this Agreement, and in so doing Escrow Agent shall not become liable to anyone for such refusal; and Escrow Agent shall be entitled to continue to refrain from acting until (a) the rights of the adverse claimants shall have been finally adjudicated in a court of competent jurisdiction of the monies involved herein or affected hereby, or (b) all differences shall have been adjusted by agreement between Seller and Buyer, and Escrow Agent shall have been notified in writing of such agreement signed by the parties hereto. Escrow Agent shall not be required to disburse any of the monies held by it under this Agreement unless in accordance with either a joint written instruction of Buyer and Seller or an Escrow Demand from either Buyer or Seller in accordance with the provisions hereinafter. Upon receipt by Escrow Agent from either Buyer or Seller (the “Notifying Party”) of any notice or request (an “Escrow Demand”) to perform any act or disburse any portion of the monies held by Escrow Agent under the terms of this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall give written notice to the other party (the “Notified Party”). If within five (5) days after the giving of such notice, Escrow Agent does not receive any written objection to the Escrow Demand from the Notified Party, Escrow Agent shall comply with the Escrow Demand. If Escrow Agent does receive written objection from the Notified Party in a timely manner, Escrow Agent shall take no further action until the dispute between the parties has been resolved pursuant to either clause (a) or (b) above. Further Escrow Agent shall have the right at all times to pay all sums held by it (i) to the appropriate party under the terms hereof, or (ii) into any court of competent jurisdiction after a dispute between or among the parties hereto has arisen, whereupon Escrow Agent's obligations hereunder shall terminate. Seller and Buyer, jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless said Escrow Agent from any and all costs, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, that said Escrow Agent may incur in compliance with and in good faith in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, this indemnity shall not extend to any act of gross negligence or willful malfeasance on the part of the Escrow Agent.

 

2.4.          Payment of Monies. Any monies payable under this Agreement, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, shall be paid by wire transfer or certified or cashier’s check.

ARTICLE 3: ACCESS; INSPECTIONS

 

3.1.          Seller’s Delivery of Specified Documents. On or before the date hereof, Seller has delivered to Buyer true, correct and complete originals or copies of each item described in Exhibit C attached hereto (the "Seller Deliverables") in Seller's possession or control.

 

3.2.          Access and Inspection Rights. Buyer and its agents, employees and representatives, contractors and consultants shall at any time, and from time to time, between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, have reasonable access during normal business hours to the Facility and all books and records for the Facility that are in Seller’s or the Existing Manager’s possession or control for the purpose of conducting surveys, inspections, tests and studies, including, without limitation, engineering, geotechnical and environmental inspections and tests; provided, however, that Buyer will work directly with the Existing Manager to conduct any and all investigations necessary of all books and records for the Facility that are in the possession or control of the Existing Manager. In the course of its investigation of the Property, Buyer may make inquiries to third parties, including, without limitation, lenders, contractors, Existing Manager (including, without limitation, employees thereof), parties to any service contracts affecting the Facility, and municipal, local and other government officials and representatives. Seller shall cooperate with Buyer's due diligence during normal business hours so long as Buyer gives at least forty-eight (48) hours' notice to Seller and the Existing Manager, conducts such due diligence during normal business hours and is not disruptive to the operation of the business at the Facility or the quiet enjoyment thereof by its residents, and shall be paid for by Buyer as and when due. Buyer shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold Seller harmless from any and all claims, liabilities, losses, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), damages, including those for injury to person or to the Property, arising out of or relating to Buyer's due diligence activities (except for any pre-existing conditions). If Buyer is not satisfied in its sole discretion with any of survey, inspection, test or study or with any other matter concerning the Property, then Buyer may terminate this Agreement by written notice given to Seller on before the date of expiration of the Due Diligence Period, whereupon the Deposit plus accrued interest shall be refunded to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations pursuant to this Agreement, except those that survive the termination of this Agreement as expressly stated herein. If the written notice of termination is not given to Seller and the Escrow Holder prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then (a) any due diligence contingency, and any and all objections with respect to the review and inspection of the Property, shall be deemed to have been waived by Buyer for all purposes hereof; provided, however, that Buyer's closing contingencies set forth in Section 5.2(a) below shall remain; and (b) the Deposit shall be nonrefundable to Buyer except in the event of the failure of any of Buyer's closing contingencies set forth in Section 5.2(a) below, or a breach of this Agreement by Seller. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 3.2, the cost for cancellation of Escrow and all title company costs shall be borne by Buyer

3.3.         Title and Survey Review.

 

(a)          Buyer shall have the right to obtain a title commitment for owner's title insurance policy (the "Title Commitment") and survey of the Real Property (the "Survey"). No later than ten (10) business days prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall give notice to Seller of any objection to any exception or other matter shown in the Title Commitment or Survey on or before the date of expiration of the Due Diligence Period. Within five (5) business days of Seller's receipt of Buyer's notice of objection(s), Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of Seller's election to either (i) remove such exceptions (in which case Buyer's objections shall be deemed waived), or (ii) terminate this Agreement. Seller's failure to make an election shall be deemed an election to terminate. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller shall be obligated to fully discharge on or before Closing all mortgages, security interests and other monetary liens and encumbrances of a definite and ascertainable amount (each a "Monetary Lien"). In the event that any additional title exceptions are discovered after the reports are issued, then if Buyer is not willing to accept such exceptions as-is, then Seller shall elect in writing to either eliminate such exceptions (in which case this Agreement shall remain in effect) or terminate this Agreement (in which case the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer). If Buyer fails to give written notice to Seller of any objection to title or survey within the Due Diligence Period, then Buyer shall be deemed to have approved the state of title and survey as of the date of such title and survey reports are issued, except for Monetary Liens.

 

(b)          If Seller fails to cure an objection to title or survey in the manner set forth above, then Buyer may elect, on or prior to the Closing Date, to (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit and all interest earned thereon shall be returned to Buyer and no party shall have any further obligations hereunder, except as specifically set forth herein, or (ii) accept the Property subject to such objections and proceed to Closing, with the further right to deduct from the Purchase Price amounts secured by any Monetary Lien which Seller has failed to remove as provided herein. If Buyer makes no such election, then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to waive its right to terminate this Agreement as provided above in this Section 3.3(b).

 

3.4.         Condition of Property; AS-IS SALE. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES AND REPRESENTS THAT THEY HAVE CONDUCTED OR WILL CONDUCT THEIR OWN INSPECTION AND INVESTIGATION OF THE PROPERTY, AND OF PUBLIC RECORDS PERTAINING TO SELLER AND THE FACILITY AND AGREES TO ACCEPT AT CLOSING, SUBJECT TO THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES CONTAINED IN SECTION 7.1, THE PROPERTY IN ITS "AS IS, WHERE IS" CONDITION AS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE, AND "WITH ALL FAULTS"; AND FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER HAS NOT MADE AND DOES NOT MAKE, AND SELLER HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS, ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND OR CHARACTER WHATSOEVER, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO (A) THE COMPLIANCE OF THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING ITS USE OR OPERATION, WITH THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT, ANY OTHER DISCRIMINATION LAW, OR ANY FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL LAW, RULE OR REGULATION RELATING TO THE LICENSING AND CERTIFICATION OF THE PROPERTY AS A SENIOR HOUSING FACILITY OR PARTICIPATION IN THE MEDICARE AND MEDICAID PROGRAMS, (B) THE ASSIGNMENT OR TRANSFERABILITY OF ANY OF THE GOVERNMENTAL LICENSES, CERTIFICATES OR PERMITS TO OPERATE THE PROPERTY AS A SENIOR HOUSING FACILITY, AND (C) THE EFFECT ON THE PROPERTY, CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY (FINANCIAL OR OTHERWISE), OR THE RESULTS OF ANY ENACTED, PUBLISHED OR REPORTED LAWS, RULES, REGULATIONS OR JUDICIAL OR ADMINISTRATIVE DECISIONS OR ACTIONS OF ANY GOVERNMENTAL OR QUASI-GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY HAVING REGULATORY OR OTHER AUTHORITY (WHETHER HAVING RETROACTIVE OR PROSPECTIVE EFFECT) RESPECTING MATTERS OF LICENSURE, SURVEY, OR REIMBURSEMENT. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING.

Seller shall continue to own the Property and shall not terminate the Existing Management Agreement with the Existing Manager; provided, however, that the parties hereto acknowledge that they might enter into future discussions relating to the replacement of the Existing Manager with an Affiliate of Buyer, but any definitive arrangement relating thereto will be subject to the mutual written agreement of the parties. Seller shall not make (or suffer or permit to be made) any renovations, alterations, or capital expenditures to the Facility or any portion thereof costing more than $10,000, individually or in the aggregate, or enter into any contracts or agreements (whether binding or not) regarding any such renovations, alterations, or capital expenditures. Seller will perform all of the obligations of Seller under the Ground Lease and the Existing Management Agreement.

 

(b)          Ground Lease. Seller shall comply in all material respects with the terms and conditions of the Ground Lease and shall not do or permit anything to be done, the doing of which, or refrain from doing anything, the omission of which, will be grounds for declaring a default or forfeiture of the Ground Lease. Seller shall not modify, cancel, change, waive, supplement, alter or amend the Ground Lease in any respect.

 

(c)          Listings and Other Offers. Seller will not list the Property with any broker or otherwise solicit or make or accept any offers to sell all or any part of the Property or any direct or indirect interest therein, engage in any discussions or negotiations with any third party with respect to the sale or other disposition of the Property or any direct or indirect interest therein, or enter into any contracts or agreements (whether binding or not) regarding any disposition of all or any part of the Property or any direct or indirect interest therein, except as provided in Section 4.1(a) above.

 

(d)          Removal and Replacement of Tangible Personal Property; Transfer or Conveyance of Other Property. Seller will not remove or suffer or permit to be removed on Seller's behalf any Personal Property from the Facility except as may be required for necessary repair or replacement in the ordinary course of business. Without limiting the foregoing, all repairs and replacements shall be of equivalent quality and quantity as existed as of the time of removal of the applicable Personal Property. Except as permitted by the preceding sentence, Seller shall not make (or suffer or permit to be made on Seller's behalf) any transfers or conveyances of the Property.

(f)          Incurrence of Indebtedness. Seller shall not incur any indebtedness or other liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices or enter into any contracts or agreements (whether binding or not) regarding the incurrence of any such indebtedness or other liabilities.

4.2.         Damage. Risk of loss with respect to the Real Property up to and including the Closing Date shall be borne by Seller.  Seller shall promptly give Buyer written notice of any damage to the Facility, describing such damage, stating whether such damage and loss of rents is covered by insurance and the estimated cost of repairing such damage. In the event of any material damage (described below) to or destruction of the Facility or any portion thereof, Buyer may, at its option, by notice to Seller given within ten (10) business days after Seller has provided the above described notice to Buyer together with all relevant information concerning the nature and extent of such damage (and if necessary the Closing Date shall be extended to give Buyer the full ten (10) business day period to make such election): (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit and all interest earned thereon shall be returned to Buyer and no party shall have any further obligations hereunder, except as expressly set forth herein, or (ii) proceed under this Agreement as to all of the Property, receive any insurance proceeds (including any rent loss insurance applicable to any period on and after the Closing Date) due Seller as a result of such damage or destruction and assume responsibility for such repair. If Buyer fails to timely make such election, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to proceed under clause (ii) above. If the Facility is not materially damaged, then (A) Buyer shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement, (B) Seller shall, to the extent requested and directed by Buyer, repair the damage before the Closing in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Buyer utilizing any available insurance proceeds, and (C) at Closing, Buyer shall receive any insurance proceeds (including any rent loss insurance applicable to any period on and after the Closing Date) due Seller as a result of such damage or destruction. To the extent Seller has incurred reasonable costs in effecting the repairs requested and directed in writing by Buyer (which costs have not been assumed by Buyer), Seller shall be paid a portion of such insurance proceeds in an amount equal to such costs. “Material damage” and “materially damaged” means, with respect to the Facility, damage (x) which, in Buyer’s reasonable estimation, exceeds $150,000 to repair, or (y) which, in Buyer’s reasonable estimation, will take longer than ninety (90) days to repair or restore.

 

6
 

 

4.3.          Condemnation. In the event any proceedings in eminent domain are contemplated, threatened or instituted by any body having the power of eminent domain with respect to the Real Property or any portion thereof, Buyer may, at its option, by notice to Seller given within ten (10) business days after Seller provides written notice to Buyer of such proceedings together with all relevant information concerning such proceedings (and if necessary the Closing Date shall be extended to give Buyer the full ten (10) business day period to make such election): (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit and all interest earned thereon shall be returned to Buyer and no party shall have any further obligations thereunder, except as expressly set forth herein, or (ii) proceed under this Agreement as to all of the Property, in which event Seller shall, at the Closing, assign to Buyer its entire right, title and interest in and to any condemnation award, and Buyer shall have the sole right during the pendency of this Agreement to negotiate and otherwise deal with the condemning authority in respect of such matter. If Buyer fails to timely make such election, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to proceed under clause (ii) above.

 

4.4.          Operations Transfer Agreement. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Operations Transfer Agreement (in the form approved as of the date hereof by Buyer) to be executed (with all schedules and exhibits thereto completed) by the parties thereto (other than Buyer, who agrees to execute the Operations Transfer Agreement promptly following its execution by the other parties thereto). The execution and delivery of the Operations Transfer Agreement by the other parties thereto shall be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to close on its purchase of the Property.

 

ARTICLE 5: CLOSING

 

5.1.          Closing. The consummation of the transactions contemplated herein (the “Closing”) shall occur on the date that is the forty-fifth (45th) day after the Town Lease Amendment Approval Date. The date of Closing shall be referred to herein as the “Closing Date.” Closing shall be effectuated through an escrow with the Escrow Agent. Buyer and Seller shall execute such supplemental escrow instructions as may be reasonably requested by either party or Escrow Agent to comply with the terms of this Agreement, so long as such instructions are not in conflict with this Agreement. Buyer shall have the right to accelerate the Closing Date to such earlier date as may be selected by Buyer on ten (10) days’ written notice to Seller. In addition, Buyer shall have the right to extend the Closing Date for up to thirty (30) days if necessary in connection with financing of the acquisition of the Property (it being acknowledged and agreed that Buyer does not have any contingency for financing). Within two (2) business days of Buyer's exercise of its extension option, Buyer shall deposit an additional sum of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) ("Additional Deposit") with Title Company, which Additional Deposit shall be non-refundable except in the event that the Closing does not occur due to Seller's default or the failure of one or more of Buyer's closing conditions set forth in Section 5.2(a) below, in which case the Additional Deposit and Deposit plus interest accrued thereon shall be returned to Buyer

7.3.         Indemnity.

 

(a)          Seller hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Buyer harmless from any liability, claim, demand, loss, expense or damage, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and costs (collectively, "Claims") arising out of (i) any breach of any representation or warranty of Seller set forth herein; (ii) any act or omission of Seller or any of its agents, employees or contractors; (iii) the ownership of the Property accruing prior to the Closing Date, including, without limitation, any Claims made under or relating to the Ground Lease; (iv) any breach by Seller, Principal or any of their respective Affiliates of the covenants set forth in Section 9.1 and Section 9.2 hereof; (v) any breach of any representation or warranty of any party to the Operations Transfer Agreement (other than Buyer); and (vi) any default with respect to any material obligation of any party to the Operations Transfer Agreement (other than Buyer) which such party has not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice from Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to any Claims arising under the foregoing subsections (v) and (vi), Buyer hereby agrees that (i) Buyer will first pursue its remedies and indemnification rights under the Operations Transfer Agreement prior to any indemnification rights it is entitled to under this Agreement, and (ii) the aggregate liability of Seller shall not exceed the Holdback Deposit set forth in Section 7.4(c) below.

(c)          The following provisions govern all actions for indemnity under this Section 7.3 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 thereof. After such notice, the indemnitor shall 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 same unless the named parties to such action or proceeding include both the indemnitor and the indemnitee and the indemnitee has been advised in writing by counsel that there exists a bona fide and recognized ethical conflict which would require that such counsel obtain a waiver or similar consent from each of the indemnitor and the indemnitee to undertake such joint defense, in which event the indemnitor shall be entitled, at the indemnitor’s cost, risk and expense, to separate counsel of its own choosing only if it reasonably determines in good faith that such waiver or consent cannot be given, and (iii) to compromise or settle such claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made only with the written consent of the indemnitee, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. If the indemnitor fails to assume the defense of such claim within thirty (30) calendar 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 such defense, compromise or settlement. The indemnitor shall be liable for any settlement of any action effected pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 7.3 subject to the written consent of the indemnitor and for any final judgment (subject to any right of appeal), and the indemnitor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless an indemnitee from and against any losses by reason of such settlement or judgment; provided, however, that if an indemnitee settles a claim without the prior written consent of the indemnitor, then the indemnitor shall be released from liability with respect to such claim unless the indemnitor has unreasonably withheld such consent. The failure of indemnitee to deliver written notice to the indemnitor within a reasonable time after indemnitee receives notice of any such claim shall relieve such indemnitor of any liability to the indemnitee under this indemnity only if and to the extent that such failure is prejudicial to the indemnitor’s ability to defend such action, and the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnitor will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnitee other than under this indemnity.

 

7.4.         Survival of Representations, Warranties and Indemnity; Holdback Deposit.

 

(a)          The representations and warranties set forth in this Article 7 are made as of the Effective Date, and each party shall be deemed to have remade all of their respective representations and warranties as of the Closing Date.

(c)          At the Closing Seller shall deposit with Escrow Agent the sum of $100,000 (the “Holdback Deposit”) to serve as a source of payment of any Claims that may become due or owing from Seller under Section 7.3(a) above. Upon receipt of the Holdback Deposit, Escrow Agent shall invest the Holdback Deposit in an interest-bearing account or money market fund mutually acceptable to Seller and Buyer. Escrow Agent shall agree to hold and dispose of the Holdback Deposit in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 2.3 hereof and this Section 7.4. Any interest earned on the Holdback Deposit shall follow the Holdback Deposit. In the event of any Claim, Buyer shall be entitled to make an Escrow Demand for the payment of such Claim under Section 2.3 above. Any insufficiency in the amount of the Holdback Deposit shall not limit or release Seller’s obligations under Section 7.3(a) above. Subject to the other terms in this Section 7.5 or Section 2.3 above, and if not sooner exhausted through the payment of Escrow Demands, the escrow of the Holdback Deposit shall terminate six (6) months after the Closing Date, whereupon Escrow Agent shall pay and distribute the then available amount of the Holdback Deposit to Seller, unless any Escrow Demands are then unresolved or pending, in which case an amount equal to the aggregate dollar amount of such Escrow Demands shall be retained by Escrow Agent and the balance (if any) paid to Seller. Any amount so retained by Escrow Agent shall continue to be held by Escrow Agent until the dispute between the parties has been resolved pursuant to either clause (a) or (b) of Section 2.3 above.

The parties hereto recognize and acknowledge that a breach by Seller of this Article 9 will cause irreparable and material loss and damage to Buyer as to which Buyer will not have an adequate remedy at law or in damages.

Form of Ground Lease Amendment

 

AMENDMENT TO SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED GROUND LEASE

 

This AMENDMENT TO SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED GROUND LEASE (this “Amendment”) is dated as of ___________, 2012 and is made by and between THE TOWN OF NANTUCKET, MASSACHUSETTS, acting by and through its Board of Selection (the “Landlord”) and NANTUCKET ACQUISITION, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Ground Tenant”).

 

RECITALS

 

A.           WHEREAS, by Second Amended and Restated Ground Lease dated as of December 9, 2009 (the “Lease”), Landlord leased to Ground Tenant certain property located at 21 South Shore Road, Nantucket, Massachusetts as such property is further described therein (the “Property”).

 

B.           WHEREAS, Ground Tenant desires to market for sale all of its right, title and interest in the Lease and, in connection with such marketing, has requested that the Landlord enter into this amendment of the Lease; and

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, the obligations, rights and benefits contained herein, and for other valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Ground Tenant (collectively, the “Parties”) hereby agree as follows:

 

1.          Side Letter re: Adult Community Day Care and Skilled Nursing. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the undertakings set forth in Paragraph 4(p) of the Lease have been satisfied and that said Paragraph 4(p) is hereby deleted from the Lease.

 

2.          Assignments and Transfers. The Lease is hereby amended by adding the following as a new sentence at the end of the fourth full paragraph of Paragraph 12 of the Lease:

 

“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary contained in this Amended Ground Lease, the Ground Tenant shall be permitted, without the Landlord’s prior written consent, to: (i) mortgage, collaterally assign, or grant security interests in its leasehold estate and other interests in the Property and this Amended Ground Lease pursuant to Paragraph 23 hereof and (ii) to enter into leases, subleases, and occupancy agreements with commercial tenants or service providers for less than 500 square feet of space or with tenants or occupants of any residential units.”

 

 
 

 

3.          Condemnation. If title to, or the permanent or temporary use of, all or a part of the Property is taken under the exercise of the power of eminent domain to such extent that in the Ground Tenant’s reasonable determination, (i) the Property and the improvements thereon cannot reasonably be expected to be restored, within a period of six months from the commencement of restoration, to a condition of usefulness comparable to that existing prior to the taking, or (ii) as a result of the taking, normal use and operation of the Project is reasonably expected to be prevented for a period of six consecutive months or more, then, within 90 days following the date of entry of a final order in any eminent domain proceeding, the Ground Tenant may elect to terminate this Amended Ground Lease by giving at least 30 days written notice to Landlord. In the event of such termination, the net proceeds or award of such eminent domain shall be applied as follows: first, to payment of the outstanding principal balance, unpaid interest and other amounts due under any Leasehold Mortgages; second, to reimburse the Ground Tenant in an amount equal to the Ground Tenant's unamortized cost of acquiring, constructing, installing and/or equipping any buildings and other improvements on the Property; and the balance to the Landlord and Ground Tenant to be apportioned between them based on their respective interests in the Property as encumbered by this Amended Ground Lease. If the Ground Tenant does not elect to terminate this Amended Ground Lease, the net proceeds or award of such eminent domain shall be paid to the Ground Tenant and/or its Leasehold Mortgagee and used to repair and replace the Property and the buildings and other improvements thereon as nearly as practicable to the condition and character thereof existing immediately prior to such taking, with such changes or alterations, however, as the Ground Tenant may reasonably deem necessary for proper operation of the Property.

 

4.          Skilled Nursing Facility. The parties hereto agree that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 13 of the Lease regarding the footprint for any skilled nursing facility, the location of such footprint and the portion of Ground Tenant’s leasehold interest that may be taken back by Landlord shall be located in and limited to the area designated as “Possible Future Skilled Nursing Facility” on the map attached hereto as Exhibit A and made a part hereof. If Ground Tenant does not exercise its right to develop such skilled nursing facility, the following costs incurred by Ground Tenant and necessitated by the development, construction or operation of such skilled nursing facility shall be paid for or reimbursed by Landlord and the developer and operator of such facility: (a) architectural, engineering, construction and legal services or work; (b) utilities, access, parking, landscaping, or other site work; and (c) redevelopment, replacement and reconstruction of any buildings, improvements or appurtenances used or owned by Ground Tenant and located within the footprint of such skilled nursing facility or affected by its development, construction or operation.

 

5.          Leasehold Mortgages. The Lease is hereby amended by adding the following as a new Paragraph 23 of the Lease:

 

2
 

 

23.        Leasehold Mortgages.

 

Ground Tenant shall have the right to mortgage any or all of its interest in this Amended Ground Lease. If Ground Tenant shall mortgage its leasehold interest hereunder pursuant to any leasehold mortgage or similar security instrument (each, a “Leasehold Mortgage”), and if the holder of any such Leasehold Mortgage (together with its successors and/or assigns, a “Leasehold Mortgagee”) shall forward written notice setting forth the name and address of said Leasehold Mortgagee, then, until the time that said mortgage has been irrevocably satisfied:

 

(a)          This Lease shall not be amended, amended, modified, subordinated, cancelled, or surrendered without the prior written consent of Leasehold Mortgagee.

 

(b)          If Landlord shall give any notice, demand, election or other communication (hereafter in this Paragraph (only) collectively referred to as “Notices”, and individually, as a “Notice”) to Ground Tenant hereunder, Landlord shall at the same time give a copy of each such Notice to said Leasehold Mortgagee at the address theretofore designated by said Leasehold Mortgagee. Such copies of Notices shall be given in the same manner and subject to the same terms and conditions as other notices given under this Amended and Restated Lease. No Notice given by Landlord to Ground Tenant shall be binding upon or affect said Leasehold Mortgagee unless a copy of said Notice shall be given to said Leasehold Mortgagee pursuant to this Paragraph.

 

(c)          Until such time as any leasehold mortgage has been irrevocably satisfied in full, Leasehold Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform any term, covenant, condition or agreement, to exercise any and all of Ground Tenant’s rights under this Amended Ground Lease (specifically including, but not limited to, the option to extend the term as provided for in this Amended and Restated Lease), and to remedy any default by Ground Tenant hereunder. Landlord shall accept such performance by said Leasehold Mortgagee with the same force and effect as if performed, exercised and/or remedied by Ground Tenant.

 

(d)          In case of a default by Ground Tenant in the performance or observance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement on Ground Tenant’s part to be performed under this Amended and Restated Lease, then Landlord shall not serve a notice of election to terminate this Amended and Restated Lease pursuant to this Amended and Restated Lease, or otherwise terminate the leasehold estate of Ground Tenant hereunder by reason of such default, if and so long as:

 

3
 

 

(i)          in the case of a default in the payment of basic rent, said Leasehold Mortgagee shall make such payment, together with any late fee or penalty, if any (collectively, the “Rent”) within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by Landlord;

 

(ii)         in the case of a default which can be practicably cured by said Leasehold Mortgagee without taking possession of the Property, said Leasehold Mortgagee shall cure such default within ninety (90) days after written notice thereof by Landlord or if such default is not reasonably susceptible of being cured within such ninety (90) day period, such longer period of time as is necessary to cure such default so long as Leasehold Mortgagee has commenced and is diligently pursuing said cure;

 

(iii)        in the case of a default which cannot practicably be cured by said Leasehold Mortgagee without taking possession of the Property, said Leasehold Mortgagee shall proceed diligently to obtain possession of the Property as mortgagee (including possession by a receiver), and, upon obtaining such possession, shall proceed diligently to cure such default; and

 

(iv)        in the case of default which is not susceptible of being cured by said Leasehold Mortgagee, said Leasehold Mortgagee shall institute foreclosure proceedings and diligently prosecute the same to completion (unless in the meantime said Leasehold Mortgagee shall acquire Ground Tenant’s estate hereunder, either in its own name or through a nominee, by assignment in lieu of foreclosure).

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Leasehold Mortgagee shall not be required to continue to proceed to obtain possession, or to continue in possession as mortgagee, of the Property pursuant to Paragraph 23(d)(iii) above, or to continue to prosecute foreclosure proceedings pursuant to Paragraph 23(d)(iv) above, if and when such default shall be cured. If said Leasehold Mortgagee, or its nominee, or a purchaser at a foreclosure sale, shall acquire title to Ground Tenant’s leasehold estate hereunder, and shall cure all defaults of Ground Tenant hereunder which are susceptible of being cured by said Leasehold Mortgagee, or by said purchaser, as the case may be, then the defaults of any prior holder of Ground Tenant’s leasehold estate hereunder which are not susceptible of being cured by said Leasehold Mortgagee (or by said purchaser) shall no longer be deemed to be defaults hereunder. Leasehold Mortgagee shall have no liability under this Amended Ground Lease unless it forecloses and actually operates the Property after such foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure.

 

4
 

 

(e)          If Ground Tenant shall reject or disaffirm this Amended and Restated Lease pursuant to any bankruptcy law, Landlord shall give to Leasehold Mortgagee written notice of such rejection or disaffirmance, together with a statement of all Rent then due and payable by Ground Tenant under this Amended and Restated Lease (without giving effect to any acceleration of the due date of any such payment of Rent), and of all other defaults under this Amended and Restated Lease. Leasehold Mortgagee shall have the right (but not the obligation), to give to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt by such Leasehold Mortgagee of such notice from Landlord, a notice that such Leasehold Mortgagee elects to (a) assume this Amended and Restated Lease, and (b) cure all then-existing outstanding balance of Rent concurrently with such assumption of all non-monetary defaults (except for defaults of the type specified in Section 365(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or which are impossible for Leasehold Mortgagee to cure) with reasonable diligence. In the event of such election, (i) Ground Tenant’s rejection or disaffirmance of this Amended and Restated Lease shall not constitute a termination of this Amended and Restated Lease, (ii) Ground Tenant and such Leasehold Mortgagee’s interest in the Facility shall remain in effect (except to the extent Ground Tenant’s interest therein shall have terminated or been transferred in connection with any enforcement of any Leasehold Mortgage) and shall not be terminated or subjected to any divestiture or defeasance as a result of such rejection or disaffirmance, (iii) such Leasehold Mortgagee may assume the obligations of Ground Tenant without any instrument of assignment or transfer from Ground Tenant, (iv) such Leasehold Mortgagee’s rights under this Amended and Restated Lease shall be free and clear of all rights, claims and encumbrances of or in respect of Ground Tenant, (v) such Leasehold Mortgagee shall consummate the assumption of this Amended and Restated Lease and the payment of the amounts payable by it to Landlord as provided above at a closing to be held at the office of such Leasehold Mortgagee on the thirtieth (30th) business day after such Leasehold Mortgagee shall have given to Landlord the notice hereinabove provided for, and (vi) upon an assignment of this Amended and Restated Lease by such Leasehold Mortgagee, such Leasehold Mortgagee shall be relieved of all obligations and liabilities arising from and after the date of such assignment.

 

(f)          If Landlord (whether as debtor in possession or otherwise) or any trustee of Landlord shall reject or disaffirm this Amended and Restated Lease pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, (i) Ground Tenant, without further act or deed, shall be deemed to have elected to remain in possession of the Property for the balance of the term hereof (including any extension or renewal terms) (unless Leasehold Mortgagee shall otherwise consent in writing), and (ii) this Amended and Restated Lease shall not be terminated, or be deemed to have terminated, unless Ground Tenant (with the written consent of Leasehold Mortgagee) shall elect to treat this Amended and Restated Lease as terminated under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. Any exercise or attempted exercise by Ground Tenant of any right to treat this Amended and Restated Lease as terminated after any rejection or disaffirmance of this Amended and Restated Lease by Landlord (whether as debtor in possession or otherwise) or any trustee of Landlord shall be void unless consented to in writing by Leasehold Mortgagee. In the absence of such election with such consent, this Amended and Restated Lease shall not be treated as terminated under any provision of the Bankruptcy Code, and this Amended and Restated Lease shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms (except that Ground Tenant shall have the rights conferred under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code), and the rights of any Leasehold Mortgagee shall not be affected or impaired by such rejection or disaffirmance.

 

5
 

 

(g)          If this Amended and Restated Lease shall terminate pursuant to the terms hereof, or shall otherwise terminate by reason of a default of Ground Tenant hereunder, and if within thirty (30) days after such termination said Leasehold Mortgagee, by written notice to Landlord, shall request Landlord to enter into a new lease pursuant to this Paragraph, then Landlord shall enter into a new lease of the Property and all improvements thereon with said Leasehold Mortgagee (or its nominee which is approved by Landlord), within thirty (30) days after the giving of said written notice by said Leasehold Mortgagee, if said Leasehold Mortgagee shall comply with the following provisions of this Paragraph. Leasehold Mortgagee shall agree to cure all of the defaults of the Ground Tenant under this Amended and Restated Lease which are susceptible of being cured by said Leasehold Mortgagee. Said new lease shall commence, and rent and all obligations of the Ground Tenant under the new lease shall accrue, as of the date of termination of this Amended and Restated Lease. The term of said new lease shall continue for the period which would have constituted the remainder of the term of this Amended and Restated Lease had this Amended and Restated Lease not been terminated, and shall be upon all of the terms, covenants, conditions, conditional limitations and agreements contained herein which were in force and effect on the date of termination of this Amended and Restated Lease, but excluding such terms, covenants, agreements and conditions which have been fully performed prior to that time or which are not reasonably susceptible to being kept, observed or performed by such Leasehold Mortgagee or which are otherwise inapplicable. Said new lease, and this covenant, shall be superior to all rights, liens and interests intervening between the date of this Amended and Restated Lease and the granting of said new lease, and shall be free of any and all rights of Ground Tenant hereunder. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall be self-executing, and Landlord shall have no obligation to do anything, other than to execute said new lease as herein provided, to assure to said Leasehold Mortgagee or to the Ground Tenant under the new lease good title to the leasehold estate granted thereby. Each subtenant of space in the Property, if any, whose sublease was in force and effect immediately prior to the delivery of said new lease shall attorn to the Ground Tenant under the new lease, unless said Ground Tenant shall, at its option, elect to dispossess said subtenant or otherwise terminate the sublease held by said subtenant. Each subtenant who hereafter subleases space within the Property shall be deemed to have agreed to the provisions of this paragraph. The foregoing shall not be deemed to obligate Landlord to keep any sublease in force and effect after the termination of this Amended and Restated Lease, nor shall Landlord have any obligation to terminate any sublease simultaneously with the termination of this Amended and Restated Lease. Said Leasehold Mortgagee shall, simultaneously with the delivery of the new lease by Landlord, pay to Landlord all Rent due under this Amended and Restated Lease on the date of termination of this Amended and Restated Lease and then remaining unpaid. Simultaneously therewith, Landlord shall pay or credit to said Leasehold Mortgagee any rentals, less costs and expenses of collection, received by Landlord between the date of termination of this Amended and Restated Lease and the date of execution of said new lease, from subtenants or other occupants of the Property, if any, which shall not theretofore have been applied by Landlord towards the payment of rent or any other sum of money payable by Ground Tenant hereunder or towards the cost of operating the Property and all buildings and improvements thereon or performing the obligations of Ground Tenant hereunder.

 

6
 

 

(h)          Except as provided in the foregoing Paragraph 23(g) no mortgage now or hereafter a lien upon this Amended and Restated Lease shall extend to or affect in any manner whatsoever the reversionary interest and estate of Landlord in and to the Property or in any manner attach to or affect the Property from and after any expiration or termination of this Amended and Restated Lease.

 

(i)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event of any foreclosure proceeding or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transaction: (A) Landlord’s consent shall not be required for the sale, purchase, conveyance, transfer or acquisition of the Property or any interest in this Amended Ground Lease pursuant to any such proceeding or transaction; (B) Leasehold Mortgagee, or any other party who purchases or acquires the Property or any interest in this Amended Ground Lease in such proceeding or transaction shall not be obligated to pay to Landlord the fee specified in Paragraph 12 hereof and payment of such fee is hereby waived by Landlord; and (C) the ROFR set forth in Paragraph 12 hereof shall not apply to such proceeding or transaction and is hereby waived by Landlord.

 

(j)          There shall be no merger of Ground Tenant’s leasehold estate under this Amended and Restated Lease with the fee estate in the Property by reason of the fact that Ground Tenant’s leasehold estate may be held directly or indirectly by or for the account of any person who shall also hold directly or indirectly the fee estate, or any interest in such fee estate, no shall there be any such merger by reason of the fact that all or any part of Ground Tenant’s leasehold estate may be conveyed or mortgaged to a Leasehold Mortgagee who shall also hold directly or indirectly the fee estate, or any part thereof, in the Property or any interest of Landlord under this Amended and Restated Lease.

 

7
 

 

(k)          Landlord waives and relinquishes any landlord’s lien, all rights of levy, distress or distraint and all claims and demands of every kind against any of the Ground Tenant’s property now or hereafter located at the Property, including, without limitation, Ground Tenant’s present and future inventory, equipment and all tangible property now owned or hereafter acquired by the Ground Tenant (collectively, the “Goods”, which term, as used herein, shall not include any property owned by the Landlord or required to support the structure of, or to heat or cool as a whole, the building located on the Property or which would cause material structural damage or constitute a material adverse alteration to the structure of the Property if removed). Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph, Leasehold Mortgagee or its receiver or any officer or other representative of Leasehold Mortgagee, may, at its option, from time to time enter the Property for the purpose of inspecting, possessing, removing, selling (by way of public or private auction), advertising for sale or otherwise dealing with the Goods, and such license shall be irrevocable and shall continue from the date the Leasehold Mortgagee enters the Property for as long as it deems necessary but not to exceed a period of ninety (90) days after the receipt by the Leasehold Mortgagee of written notice by the Landlord directing removal of the Goods.

 

(l)          Landlord hereby represents and warrants that there are no fee mortgages encumbering the Property as of the date hereof. Landlord shall not grant any fee mortgage after the date hereof unless and until the Landlord’s mortgagee shall have entered into a satisfactory non-disturbance agreement with Leasehold Mortgagee providing, among other things, that the Landlord’s mortgagee shall not take any action to terminate this Amended Ground Lease as a result of a default thereunder unless and until Leasehold Mortgagee shall have first been given notice and opportunity to cure such default as is required herein.

 

(m)          In the case of any casualty or similar event, any proceeds from the policies of insurance maintained by Ground Tenant or otherwise for the benefit of said Leasehold Mortgagee shall be applied to pay the costs of repair and restoration resulting from such casualty or similar event, provided that any and all conditions contained in the Leasehold Mortgage and the loan documents related thereto regarding the disposition of insurance proceeds have been satisfied; otherwise, such insurance proceeds shall be applied and used as provided for in the Leasehold Mortgage and the loan documents related thereto. In the case of any condemnation, any awards for a total taking received by Ground Tenant shall be paid to the Leasehold Mortgagee and any awards for a partial taking shall be payable to the Leasehold Mortgagee or an insurance trustee for restoration with the excess, if any, to be payable to the Leasehold Mortgagee, provided that any and all conditions contained in the Leasehold Mortgage and the loan documents related thereto regarding the disposition of condemnation awards have been satisfied; otherwise, such condemnation awards shall be applied and used as provided for in the Leasehold Mortgage and the loan documents related thereto.

 

8
 

 

(n)          Leasehold Mortgagee shall be named as an additional insured on each and every hazard-type insurance policy required hereunder.

 

(o)          Landlord and Ground Tenant will from time to time upon not less than twenty (20) days’ prior written request deliver an estoppel certificate in favor of the other party to this Amended Ground Lease or any proposed mortgagee or purchaser certifying (i) whether this Amended Ground Lease is in full force and effect, (ii) whether this Amended Ground Lease has been modified or amended and, if so, describing any such modification or amendment, (iii) the date to which rent and other charges have been paid and the amounts and due dates of the remaining installments of rent due under the Lease, (iv) whether the party furnishing such certificate knows of any default on the part of the other party or has any claim against such party and, if so, specifying the nature of such default or claim, (v) if applicable, Landlord’s receipt of the name and address of any Leasehold Mortgagee and that the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall exist for the benefit of said Leasehold Mortgagee, and (v) any other matters reasonably requested concerning the Lease.”

 

6.            Condominium.

 

(a)          Subparagraph d. of Paragraph 4 of the Lease is hereby deleted and replaced with the following: “d. Intentionally Omitted.”

 

(b)          The Lease is hereby amended by adding the following as a new Paragraph 24 of the Lease:

 

24.        Condominimum. Ground Tenant shall have the right to adopt one or more condominium, co-operative, tenancy in common, or other similar forms of multiple owner ownership of the Facility or units therein and to market, sell or lease parts of the Facility or units therein or other rights; provided, however, that in each case: (a) this Amended Ground Lease shall be superior to any such condominiums, co-operatives, tenancies in common, and other forms of ownership, which shall remain subject and subordinate to the terms and conditions of this Amended Ground Lease; (b) Ground Tenant shall be liable for the payment of any remaining amounts due to “EF Current Residents” to the extent required under Section 4.7 of the Liquidating Trust Agreement dated as of December __, 2009 entered in the Chapter 11 Case No. 08-18026-WCH of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Massachusetts as a result of re-sales of the residential units of such “EF Current Residents”; and (c) any and all documents and actions executed and taken by Ground Tenant in connection with such condominiums, co-operatives, tenancies in common, and other forms of ownership shall be done in compliance with all applicable statutes, regulations, and other legal requirements.”

 

9
 

 

7.          On or after the date hereof, each reference in the Lease to this “Lease”, “this Amended and Restated Lease”, “hereunder”, “herein”, “hereof” or words of similar meaning shall mean and be a reference to the Lease as amended hereby.

 

8.          Except as specifically set forth herein, the Lease shall remain in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed.

 

9.          If any term or provision of this Agreement is to any extent held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms of this Agreement will not be affected thereby, but each term and provision of this Agreement will be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of each party hereto.
