               (a)     Sunrise has conducted (or has waived its right to conduct), and shall be entitled to continue to conduct, such due diligence as Sunrise has deemed or shall deem necessary or appropriate. Sunrise further acknowledges that Manager, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sunrise, has been managing the Facilities and Sunrise is, therefore, fully aware of the condition of the Facilities and of the status of all their operations. Sunrise has had and will continue to have, the right to conduct any inspections or investigations Sunrise desires with respect to the Facilities.

               (b)     Except with respect to Sellers’ representations and warranties in Article

- 9 -


 

IV, the Owned Assets shall be sold, and Purchaser shall accept the Owned Assets and the Assumed Liabilities on the Closing Date, “AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS”, with no right of setoff or reduction in the Purchase Price.

               (c)     Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Sellers advise Purchaser that certain of the Owned Assets may be subject to restrictions as to their free transferability to Purchaser (all such restrictions, the “Transfer Restrictions”), including without limitation:

  (i)   Certain contracts included among the Owned Assets may contain explicit prohibitions on assignment without the consent of the other party thereto, or may not be assignable by operation of law absent such consent;
 
  (ii)   To the extent the Owned Assets include any Licenses, filing or registration with, or consent from, the governmental authority issuing such Licenses may be required;
 
  (iii)   Certain of the Owned Assets may be subject to Liens other than those securing the indebtedness in respect of which the Payoff Amount is to be paid;
 
  (iv)   The Payoff Amount may not be sufficient to discharge all Liens in respect of the indebtedness in respect of which the Payoff Amount is to be paid;
 
  (v)   The release of any Liens intended to be discharged by the Payoff Amount may not occur simultaneously with the Closing Date if the Payoff Amount is paid as of such date; and
 
  (vi)   Certain of the Owned Assets may not be in the possession, custody or control of the Sellers.

Purchaser specifically confirms its understanding that (1) Sellers have made no investigation as to the existence of any Transfer Restrictions; (2) except as set forth in Section 5.4, Sellers shall have no responsibility to cause the Transfer Restrictions to be satisfied, cured or discharged; (3) the continuation of any Transfer Restrictions as of the Closing Date shall neither relieve Purchaser of its obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, nor give Purchaser any right of counterclaim or setoff against any Seller; and (4) the provisions of this paragraph (c) are an essential inducement to cause Sellers to enter into this Agreement.

               (d)     Except for Sellers’ representations and warranties in Article IV (“Sellers’ Warranties”), Sellers have not made, nor shall Sellers be deemed to have made, any oral or written representations, warranties, promises or guarantees (whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise) to Sunrise with respect to the Owned Assets (including the Facilities), their value, or any matter set forth, contained or addressed in the Documents (including, but not limited to,

- 10 -


 

the accuracy and completeness thereof).

               (e)      Notwithstanding the exclusion from the Assumed Liabilities of the liabilities and obligations of the Sellers arising pursuant to the Documents, any liabilities and obligations of any of the Sellers arising out of the Implied Covenants shall be included in the Assumed Liabilities and consequently any Loss in connection therewith will be the subject matter of the indemnity from the Purchaser provided in Section 9.2 of this Agreement. “Implied Covenants” as used in this Agreement means any covenants (including any releases), representations or warranties in or arising as a result of the execution and delivery of the deeds contemplated in Section 8.3(a) of this Agreement, including without limitation, as a result of any statutory provisions which may be applicable thereto.

               (f)      Sunrise shall independently confirm to its satisfaction all information that it considers material to its purchase of the Owned Assets (including the Facilities). In addition, Sunrise expressly understands and acknowledges that it is possible that unknown liabilities may exist with respect to the Facilities or be otherwise included among the Assumed Liabilities. Sunrise explicitly took that possibility into account in determining and agreeing to the Purchase Price, and a portion of such consideration, having been bargained for between parties with the knowledge of the possibility of such unknown liabilities, is given in exchange for a full accord and satisfaction and discharge of all such liabilities. Sunrise has also had all information necessary to evaluate the value of the Owned Assets (including the Facilities) and their marketability. Based on all such information and any other information Sunrise has desired to obtain and obtained, Sunrise acknowledges that the Purchase Price is a fair price for the Owned Assets (including the Facilities). Notwithstanding the foregoing, such acknowledgment is not intended to, and shall not be construed to, (i) effect any contractual assumption of liability as to matters which are not expressly assumed by Sunrise in this Agreement or the documents executed by the parties in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, or (ii) affect or impair any rights or remedies that Sunrise may have against Sellers as a result of a breach of any of Sellers’ Warranties.

               (g)      Purchaser hereby waives any right pursuant to Part 4 of the Environmental Management Act, SBC 2003, c.53 to receive or be provided with a site profile as contemplated therein.

     2.5      Beneficial Ownership.

               (a)      General Statement. It is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that, as of 12:00 a.m., September 1, 2004, Sunrise shall have accepted and assumed from Sellers all of the benefits and burdens of operation of the Facilities. To the extent not expressly inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the parties desire that all provisions of this Agreement be interpreted so as to give effect, wherever possible, to the foregoing statement. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Cut-Off Time” means 11:59 p.m., August 31, 2004.

               (b)      Expenditures; Capital Improvements. From the Cut-Off Time through the Closing Date, if and to the extent any funds are needed to pay any expense of operation, maintenance or repair, or to undertake any capital improvement, with respect to any Facility, or to satisfy any liability (whether accrued or accruing) that either (1) is a liability of one of the

- 11 -


 

Sellers or (2) would, as of the Closing Date, be an Assumed Liability, Sunrise will advance such funds to Sellers, in order to enable Sellers to pay such expense or capital cost or to satisfy such liability. The parties confirm and acknowledge that the Purchase Price has already been adjusted to give effect to Sellers’ obligations with regard to any such liabilities that accrued prior to the Cut-Off Time. The aggregate amount payable by Sunrise hereunder is referred to as “Sunrise’s Gross Pre-Closing Obligations” and the aggregate amount payable by Sunrise, net of any amounts received in respect of clauses (i) through (iii) of paragraph (c) below, is referred to as “Sunrise’s Net Pre-Closing Payments.”

               (c)      Revenues; Accounts Receivable; Proceeds. Sunrise will be entitled (i) to receive all proceeds of insurance received after the Cut-Off Time arising out of any casualty, for repair, replacement or rent loss; (ii) to collect and retain all accounts receivable arising from the Facilities; and (iii) to retain all gross revenues received after the Cut-Off Time, to the extent that the amounts set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) exceed the total amount of Sunrise’s Gross Pre-Closing Obligations. Any such excess is referred to herein as “Sunrise’s Net Pre-Closing Benefit”.

               (d)      Repayment.

               (i)      Sunrise’s Net Pre-Closing Payments will not be repayable by Sellers to Sunrise except in the event of termination of this Agreement by Purchaser due to Sellers’ default pursuant to Section 10.2(b)(i) hereof, in which event, and in addition to any other remedies Purchaser may have hereunder, the amount of Sunrise’s Net Pre-Closing Payments will be repaid to Sunrise on demand (after the date of termination) with interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum from the date of date of each such payment. If Closing occurs hereunder, any Sunrise’s Net Pre-Closing Payments will not be applied to the Purchase Price or otherwise reduce the sums due to Sellers hereunder.

               (ii)      Sunrise’s Net Pre-Closing Benefit will not be repayable by Sunrise to Sellers except in the event of termination of this Agreement by Sellers due to Purchaser’s default pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) hereof, in which event, and in addition to any other remedies Sellers may have hereunder, Sunrise’s Net Pre-Closing Benefit will be repaid to Sellers on demand (after the date of termination) with interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum from the date of accrual of each such benefit. If Closing occurs hereunder, any Sunrise Net Pre-Closing Benefit will not increase the Purchase Price or otherwise increase the sums due from Sunrise to Sellers hereunder.

               (e)     Rights and Obligations Personal to Sunrise. The rights and obligations of Sunrise under this Section 2.5 are and will remain personal to Sunrise. No assignee of Sunrise will have any liability to Sellers under this Section 2.5 nor be entitled to any benefit obtained by Sunrise under this Section 2.5.

- 14 -


 

in any material respect, any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by any of them under this Agreement.

     5.2     Publicity. The parties agree that no public release or announcement concerning the transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued by any party without the prior written consent of the other party, except as required by law or applicable regulations, and except as required by Sunrise REIT or Sunrise in connection with the IPO or Sunrise’s securities disclosures.

     5.3     Material Adverse Change. Sellers and Purchaser will promptly notify the other party of any event of which Sellers or Purchaser, as the case may be, obtains knowledge which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. It is specifically understood that the occurrence of any event which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect shall not, of itself, give rise to grounds for termination of this Agreement or otherwise result in the failure of a condition to Closing.

     5.4     Reasonable Best Efforts; Further Assurances.

               (a)      Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each party will use its reasonable best efforts to take all action and to do all things necessary, proper or advisable to satisfy any condition hereunder in its power to satisfy and to consummate and make effective as soon as practicable the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Sellers agree to use reasonable efforts to assist Purchaser in procuring any necessary consents, filings or other efforts to remove or satisfy any of the Transfer Restrictions, it being understood that Purchaser bears the responsibility for identifying any such Transfer Restrictions, shall be principally responsible for addressing the same and bears the risk that the same shall not have been removed or satisfied prior to Closing;

               (b)      From time to time before, at and after the Closing, each party, at its expense and without further consideration, will execute and deliver such documents as reasonably requested by the other party in order more effectively to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

               (c)      Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein: (1) Purchaser shall be responsible for paying any out-of-pocket expenditures, including legal fees, filing costs and similar expenses paid by Purchaser or Sellers (at Purchaser’s request) in the course of removing any Transfer Restrictions; (2) Sellers shall not be required to take any actions that would increase their liability resulting from this transaction beyond the scope of liability contemplated by this Agreement; and (3) Sellers shall not be required to take any actions inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement.

     5.5      No Recordation. Sellers and Purchaser each agree that neither this Agreement nor any memorandum or notice hereof shall be recorded and Purchaser agrees (a) not to file any notice of pendency or other instrument (other than a judgment) against the Facilities or any portion thereof in connection herewith and (b) to indemnify Sellers against all liabilities

- 15 -


 

(including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred by Sellers by reason of the filing by Purchaser of such notice of pendency or other instrument. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the same is permitted pursuant to applicable laws, Purchaser shall be entitled to record a notice of lis pendens or certificate of pending litigation if Purchaser is entitled to seek (and is actually seeking) specific performance of this Agreement by Sellers in accordance with the terms of Section 10.3 hereof.

     5.6      Personal Property Levels. From the date hereof until the Closing Date, Sunrise will cause to continue to manage and operate the Facilities consistent with prior practice, including maintaining levels of Personal Property on hand at the Facilities materially in keeping with the levels previously maintained.

     5.7       Taxes.

               (a)      Purchaser shall prepare and timely file all Tax Returns for calendar year 2004 of the Facility Owners and Facility Operators due on or after the date of this Agreement, subject to giving Sellers a period of not less than fifteen (15) days prior to their due date for review and comment (it being understood that the Tax Returns so delivered shall not be unreasonably rejected by Sellers). Except as set forth in the following sentence, Purchaser shall timely pay any Tax due with respect to such Tax Returns as well as any services or sales Taxes payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. SALH (or its equity holders) shall pay all income Taxes of the Facility Owners and Facility Operators due solely as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including any Canadian withholding taxes resulting from distributions of proceeds from the Facility Owners or Facility Operators (or their respective successors) to SALH) and any operating taxes of the Facility Owners and Facility Operators until August 31, 2004, except any Taxes arising as a result of a payment to a Seller under Section 2.5(b). Purchaser shall be entitled to any Tax refunds related to such Tax Returns, except for Taxes paid as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any operating taxes of the Facility Owners and Facility Operators until August 31, 2004, which shall be paid to Sellers.

               (b)      Sellers and Purchaser consent to, and shall provide cooperation with, SALH in timely filing Internal Revenue Service Forms 8832 (Entity Classification Election) on or immediately after the Closing Date to treat the Sellers as disregarded entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes under U.S. Treasury regulations under Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, with such election to be made effective (i) for the Facility Owners as of the date of execution of this Agreement by the parties hereto, (ii) for the Nova Scotia unlimited liability companies that will be the successors to the Facility Operators as of the Closing Date and (iii) for the British Virgin Islands companies that will be the successors to the Facility Owners as of their dates of formation. Sellers and Purchaser further consent to, and shall provide cooperation with, (1) SALH in causing each of the Facility Operators to continue as Nova Scotia corporations and to then be arranged to form Nova Scotia unlimited liability companies that are wholly-owned by SALH with such continuation and arrangement to be made effective within three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date, and (2) SALH in causing the Facility Owners to continue as one or more newly formed British Virgin Islands companies that are wholly-owned by SALH with such continuation to be made effective as soon as is practicable

- 16 -


 

following (x) the Closing Date and (y) the withdrawal of SSLII from SALH as described in Section 8.7. Purchaser acknowledges that Sellers need to be assured that the Closing will occur within the foregoing three-business-day period relating to the continuation and arrangement of the Facility Operators because the continuation and arrangement will be the taxable event for US tax purposes (i.e., a liquidation). The presently anticipated timetable for certain of the continuations, arrangements and elections described above, and for the approvals, release of proceeds, liquidations and dissolutions set forth in paragraphs (c) and (e) below, is attached hereto as Exhibit G. Such Exhibit may from time to time be modified or supplemented by consent of the parties, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Sellers agree that the responsibility for preparing the documents to effect such continuations, arrangements and elections, and the costs relating to the preparation and filing of such documents, shall be borne by SALH.

               (c)      Prior to Closing, Purchaser shall diligently work with Sellers to obtain, at Sellers’ expense, all tax clearance certificates necessary from any governmental authority to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement including but not limited to the distribution of the Net Proceeds, First Additional Purchase Price Amount and Second Additional Purchase Price Amount. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser and Sellers shall use their best efforts to obtain approval of the CRA for the transactions contemplated hereby such that no withholding will be required in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (the “CRA Clearance”) and that the sales proceeds distributed by the Facility Operators shall not be subject to a withholding Tax rate in excess of the applicable US/Canada treaty rate in effect for those ultimate indirect investors in SALH (as identified in a written notice to Sunrise by a majority in interest of the Class B Limited Partners in SALH on or prior to the Closing Date), it being understood and acknowledged that obtaining such approval shall not be a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the transactions. The Parties will co-operate to direct a portion of the Purchase Price to the CRA as of the Closing in an amount sufficient to satisfy the CRA’s estimate of Tax liabilities to become due, to permit the receipt of the CRA Clearance prior to the release of funds to Sellers at the Closing. Any sales proceeds withheld at Closing for payment of such Taxes but not required for the payment of such Taxes will be released as directed by SALH. In the event that the CRA Clearance shall not have been obtained by the Closing Date, Purchaser shall co-operate with Sellers to implement a suitable alternative structure (elected by Sellers) for payment of the Purchase Price; provided that no such alternative shall (1) be inconsistent with applicable law (including Canadian tax law) or (2) require Purchaser to expend any sums.

               (d)     Sellers and Purchaser shall timely provide the other with such cooperation and assistance as may reasonably be requested by the other in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return, any audit or other examination by any Taxing Authority, or any judicial or administrative proceedings relating to liability for Taxes including such reasonable cooperation (including the provision or filing of certificates) that would reduce any Tax payable as a result of the Closing.

               (e)      SALH shall be responsible for preparing any documents and taking any actions to cause SALH and the Sellers to be liquidated and dissolved. It is understood that the officers and directors of Purchaser and Sellers shall make themselves reasonably available to execute any documents required to be delivered in connection with such liquidations and

- 17 -


 

dissolutions. The parties will co-operate to determine the best time for each such liquidation and dissolution, subject to Section 5.7(g) below, but in no event prior to the time designated by SALH, and further, the Sellers shall not be liquidated prior to the expiration of the one-year period for survival of representations and warranties contemplated by Section 9.1 (assuming no claim for indemnity pursuant to Article IX shall then be pending). SALH shall be responsible for the costs required to maintain the Sellers in existence during this period, except as provided under Section 5.7(g) below. Until the earlier of (x) the liquidation of SALH or (y) December 31, 2006, Purchaser (or its Affiliate) will continue to provide accounting services to SALH consistent with past practice for the purposes of the maintenance, liquidation and dissolution of existing entities as contemplated by this Section 5.7(e). SALH will obtain an acknowledgement and release from its Class B Limited Partners and Thomas Moak (and will use reasonable efforts to obtain a similar acknowledgement and release from its Class A Limited Partners) in connection with the distribution of proceeds to such partners, to the effect that the amount so distributed represents payment in full of all amounts to which such partners are entitled.

               (f)      The Sellers and Purchaser will jointly execute an election under Section 167 of the Excise Tax Act (Canada) in the form prescribed by that Act and the Purchaser will file it with the CRA on or before the date required by that Act so that the Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) imposed under Part IX of that Act is not payable in respect of the purchase and sale of the Owned Assets contemplated by this Agreement. The Purchaser will indemnify the Sellers for any tax, penalty and interest that may be assessed against the Sellers as a result of a failure by the Purchaser to file the election on or before the date required by that Act or as a result of a determination that the election was not available for any reason other than the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement. The Purchaser confirms that it is registered for GST purposes, and will make its GST registration number available to the Sellers upon request. The Purchaser further confirms that it will self-assess and pay all GST, Ontario Retail Sales Tax and British Columbia Social Services Tax resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

               (g)      Subject to arriving at definitive agreements as contemplated by Exhibit I below, the Lynn Valley Owner and the Beacon Hill Owner (as the same may be continued or merged in accordance with Section 5.7(b) above) will not be dissolved in consequence of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and will continue to hold registered title to the Lynn Valley Facility and the Beacon Hill Facility, respectively, notwithstanding the transfer of beneficial ownership of such Facilities to Purchaser or its designee at the Closing. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for the costs of maintaining the corporate existence of the Lynn Valley Owner and the Beacon Hill Owner under this Section 5.7(g). Sellers and Purchaser shall cooperate in effecting the foregoing nominee arrangement, including without limitation the execution of customary agreements to effect the arrangements and transaction steps listed on Exhibit I.

INDEMNIFICATION

     9.1     Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement or any other Document will survive the Closing for a period of one (1) year, except that the covenants set forth in Section 5.7 will extend until sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. Except as expressly set forth in Article X, the rights to indemnification set forth in this Article IX shall be exclusive of all other rights to monetary damages that any party (or the party’s successors or assigns) would otherwise have by statute or common law in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Document.

     9.2     Indemnification by Sunrise.

- 22 -


 

     9.3     Indemnification by Sellers. Sellers shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, Affiliates, successors and assigns from and against, and pay or reimburse each of them for and with respect to any Loss relating to, arising out of or resulting from any breach by Sellers of any of their representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement or any other Document.

     9.4     Administration of Indemnification. For purposes of administering the indemnification provisions set forth in Sections 9.2 and 9.3 the following procedure shall apply:

               (a)     Whenever a claim shall arise for indemnification under this Article, the party entitled to indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall reasonably promptly give written notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) setting forth in reasonable detail, to the extent then available, the facts concerning the nature of such claim and the basis upon which the Indemnified Party believes that it is entitled to indemnification hereunder.

               (b)     In the event of any claim for indemnification resulting from or in connection with any claim by a third party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, at its sole expense, either (i) to participate in defending against such claim or (ii) to assume the entire defense with counsel which is selected by it and which is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party provided that (A) the Indemnifying Party agrees in writing that it does not and will not contest its responsibility for indemnifying the Indemnified Party in respect of such claim or proceeding and (B) no settlement shall be made and no judgment consented to without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If, however, (i) the claim, action, suit or proceeding would, if successful, result in the imposition of damages for which the Indemnifying Party would not be solely responsible, or (ii) representation of both parties by the same counsel would otherwise be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, then the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the entire defense and each party shall be entitled to retain counsel who shall cooperate with one another in defending against such claim. In the case of Clause (i) of the preceding sentence, the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to bear only that portion of the expense of the Indemnified Party’s counsel that is in proportion to the damages indemnifiable by the Indemnifying Party compared to the total amount of the third-party claim against the Indemnified Party.

               (c)     If the Indemnifying Party does not choose to defend against a claim by a third party, the Indemnified Party may defend in such manner as it deems appropriate or settle the claim (after giving notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party) on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate, and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to periodic reimbursement of defense expenses incurred and prompt indemnification from the Indemnifying Party in accordance with this Article.

               (d)     Failure or delay by an Indemnified Party to give a reasonably prompt notice of any claim (if given prior to expiration of any applicable survival period) shall not release, waive or otherwise affect an Indemnifying Party’s obligations with respect to the claim, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party can demonstrate actual loss or prejudice as a result of such failure or delay.

- 23 -


 

               (e)     The provisions of this Section 9 shall survive the Closing hereunder indefinitely (except to the extent a shorter period of time is expressly indicated above).

     10.2     Remedies upon Default.

               (a)     If, at any time prior to the Closing, Purchaser materially defaults on any of its obligations hereunder, and such default continues for ten (10) business days after written notice thereof specifying such default, Sellers may, by serving notice in writing to Sunrise in the manner provided in this Agreement, either:

  (i)   Terminate this Agreement and declare it null and void, in which event the Escrow Agent will promptly deliver the Deposit to Sellers in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, and Sellers will be entitled to pursue Purchaser for any monetary damages in excess of the Deposit; or
 
  (ii)   Consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in the same manner as if there had been no such defaults without any increase in the Purchase Price; provided that the foregoing shall not waive any right of the Sellers to indemnity for any such defaults pursuant to Article IX.

From and after the Closing, the provisions of this Section 10.2(a) shall be inapplicable and Sellers’ recourse shall be limited to the provisions of Article IX.

               (b)     If, at any time prior to the Closing, any Seller materially defaults on any of its obligations hereunder, and such default continues for ten (10) business days after written notice thereof specifying such default, Purchaser may, by serving notice in writing to Sellers in the manner provided in this Agreement, either:

  (i)   Terminate this Agreement and declare it null and void, in which event the Escrow Agent will promptly deliver the Deposit to Purchaser in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, and Purchaser will be entitled to pursue Seller for any monetary damages; or
 
  (ii)   Consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in the same manner as if there had been no such defaults without any reduction in the

- 24 -


 

      Purchase Price; provided that the foregoing shall not waive any right of Purchaser to indemnity for any such defaults pursuant to Article IX.

From and after the Closing, the provisions of this Section 10.2(b) shall be inapplicable and Purchaser’s recourse shall be limited to the provisions of Article IX.

     10.3     Specific Performance; Liquidated Damages.

               (a)     Sellers understand that, subject only to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article VII, the obligation to sell the Owned Assets (including the Facilities) to Purchaser on the Closing Date is unconditional, and that time is of the essence.

               (b)     If, notwithstanding the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article VII, Sellers fail to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as of the Closing Date, then, at Purchaser’s option, either:

  (i)   Sellers specifically agree that Purchaser will be entitled to enforcement of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance or injunctive relief requiring Sellers to fulfill their obligations under this Agreement to sell the Facilities to Purchaser or its designee; or
 
  (ii)   Purchaser may, by serving notice in writing to Sellers and Escrow Agent in the manner provided in this Agreement, cause the Escrow Agent to return the Deposit to Purchaser, and in addition recover liquidated damages from Sellers in the amount of Twenty Million US Dollars (US$20,000,000), Sellers and Purchaser hereby acknowledging and agreeing that the monetary damages which Purchaser would suffer as a result of such default and termination would be difficult, if not impossible, to determine and that the liquidated damages provided for herein are a fair and reasonable estimation of such damages.

     10.4     Obligations Upon Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement, each party shall thereafter remain liable for breach of this Agreement prior to such termination. If this Agreement is terminated by mutual consent without any breach by either party hereto, each of the parties shall be liable and responsible for any costs incurred by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

     10.5     Termination Notice. Each notice given by a party to terminate this Agreement shall specify the Section of Article X pursuant to which such notice is given. If at the time a party gives a termination notice, such party is entitled to give such notice pursuant to more than one Section of Article X, the Section pursuant to which such notice is given and termination is effected shall be deemed to be the section or sections specified in such notice provided that the party giving such notice is at such time entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the specified section.

- 25 -


 

     10.6     Notice of Breach; Sellers’ Right to Cure. If, prior to the Closing, Purchaser obtains actual knowledge that any of Sellers’ Warranties is untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect, Purchaser shall give Sellers written notice thereof within five (5) business days of obtaining such knowledge (but, in any event, prior to the Closing). If, prior to the Closing, Sellers obtains actual knowledge that any of Purchaser’s Warranties are untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect, Sellers shall give Purchaser written notice thereof within five (5) business days of obtaining such knowledge (but, in any event, prior to the Closing). In either such event, Sellers or Purchaser, as the case may be (the “Breaching Party”), shall have the right to cure such misrepresentation or breach and shall be entitled to an adjournment of the Closing (not to extend beyond the IPO Closing or December 31, 2004, whichever is earlier) for the purpose of such cure. If the Breaching Party is unable to so cure any misrepresentation or breach, then Purchaser or Sellers, as the case may be (the “Non-Breaching Party”), as its sole remedy for any and all such materially untrue, inaccurate or incorrect material representations or warranties, shall elect either (a) to waive such misrepresentations or breaches of representations and warranties by the Breaching Party and consummate the purchase and sale of the Owned Assets (including the Facilities), without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price, or (b) to terminate this Agreement by written notice given to the Breaching Party, whereupon (1) this Agreement shall be terminated and (2) the Non-Breaching Party shall be entitled to pursue the Breaching Party for any monetary damages.

     10.7     Limitation on Sellers’ Liability. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate liability of Sellers for breaches of Sellers’ Warranties shall be limited to Twenty Million US Dollars (US$20,000,000). Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if the Closing occurs, Purchaser hereby expressly waives, relinquishes and releases any right or remedy available to it at law, in equity, under this Agreement or otherwise to make a claim against Sellers for damages that Purchaser may incur, or to rescind this Agreement, as the result of any of Sellers’ Warranties being untrue, inaccurate or incorrect if: (a) Purchaser knew or is deemed to know that such representation or warranty was untrue, inaccurate or incorrect at the time of the Closing, or (b) Purchaser’s damages as a result of such representations or warranties being untrue, inaccurate or incorrect are reasonably estimated to aggregate less than US$500,000.00.

Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned by either party without the prior written consent of the other party, provided that Sunrise may assign all of its rights under this Agreement to an Affiliate or to Sunrise REIT or an entity controlled, directly or indirectly, by Sunrise REIT, provided that (i) the representations and warranties of Sunrise hereunder shall be true and correct in all material respects as applied to the assignee, (ii) Sunrise shall execute and deliver to Sellers a written instrument in form and substance satisfactory to Sellers within their reasonable judgment in which Sunrise agrees to continue to be liable for performance of all of Sunrise’s obligations so to be assigned under this Agreement, and (iii) Sunrise and the assignee shall deliver such other documents and instruments as reasonably requested by Sellers, including appropriate certified resolutions of the boards of directors of Sunrise and the assignee.

     11.6     Amendments and Waivers.

     11.9     Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by any party on separate counterparts, each of which shall be an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Each party agrees to promptly deliver an execution original to this Agreement with its actual signature to the other party, but a failure to do so shall not affect the enforceability of this Agreement, it being expressly agreed that each party to this Agreement shall be bound by its own telecopied signature and shall accept the telecopied signature of the other party to this Agreement.

Form of Purchaser’s As-Is Certificate and Agreement

PURCHASER’S AS-IS CERTIFICATE AND AGREEMENT

     THIS PURCHASER’S AS-IS CERTIFICATE AND AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is made as of                             , 2004 by Sunrise Senior Living, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Sunrise or Purchaser”) to and for the benefit of                                       (“Seller”).

RECITALS

     WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of                             , 2004, by and among Purchaser and certain Sellers specified therein, Sunrise Senior Living, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Sunrise”), (the “Purchase Agreement”), Sellers agreed to sell to Purchaser, inter alia, the Owned Assets, as more particularly described in the Purchase Agreement. Initially capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement; and

     WHEREAS, the Purchase Agreement requires, inter alia, that, as a condition precedent to Sellers’ obligations under the Purchase Agreement, Purchaser shall execute and deliver this Agreement to Seller at Closing.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of TEN AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Purchaser hereby certifies and agrees as follows:

     1. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

     “Purchaser’s Representatives” shall mean Purchaser and Sunrise REIT, as well as any direct or indirect owner of any beneficial interest in Purchaser or Sunrise REIT, and any officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and attorneys of Purchaser or Sunrise REIT, or any such direct or indirect owner of any beneficial interest (but only those officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and attorneys that are engaged in the Due Diligence for or other services in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement).

     “deemed to know” (or words of similar import) shall have the following meaning:

  (a)   Purchaser shall be “deemed to know” of the existence of a fact or circumstance to the extent that:

B-1


 

  (i)   any Purchaser’s Representative knows of such fact or circumstance, or
 
  (ii)   such fact or circumstance is disclosed by the Purchase Agreement, any documents executed by Seller for the benefit of Purchaser in connection with the Closing, or any Documents actually delivered to Purchaser.

  (b)   Purchaser shall be “deemed to know” that any Sellers’ Warranty is untrue, inaccurate or incorrect to the extent that:

  (i)   any Purchaser’s Representative has actual, conscious knowledge of information which is inconsistent with such Sellers’ Warranty, or
 
  (ii)   the Purchase Agreement, any documents executed by Sellers for the benefit of Purchaser in connection with the Closing, or any Documents actually delivered to Purchaser contains information which is inconsistent with such Sellers’ Warranty.

     “Documents” shall mean the documents and instruments applicable to the Facilities or any portion thereof that Seller or any of the other Seller Parties deliver or make available to Purchaser or Purchaser’ Representatives prior to Closing or which are in the possession of or otherwise obtained by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives prior to Closing.

     “Due Diligence” shall mean examinations, inspections, investigations, tests, studies, analyses, appraisals, evaluations and/or investigations with respect to the Owned Assets, the Documents, and other information and documents regarding the Owned Assets, including, without limitation, examination and review of title matters, applicable land use and zoning laws and other laws applicable to the Owned Assets, the physical condition of the Owned Assets, and the economic status of the Owned Assets.

     “Hazardous Materials” shall mean any substance, chemical, waste or material that is or becomes regulated by any federal, state or local governmental authority because of its toxicity, infectiousness, radioactivity, explosiveness, ignitability, corrosiveness or reactivity, including, without limitation, methane and other landfill gasses, asbestos or any substance containing more than 0.1 percent asbestos, the group of compounds known as polychlorinated biphenyls, flammable explosives, oil, petroleum or any refined petroleum product.

     “Liabilities” shall mean, collectively, any and all problems, conditions, losses, costs, damages, claims, liabilities, expenses, demands or obligations of any kind or nature whatsoever.

     “Property Documents” shall mean, collectively, (a) leases, (b) contracts, and (c) any other documents or instruments which constitute, evidence or create any portion of the Real Property.

     “Seller Parties” shall mean and include, collectively, (a) Sellers; (b) their counsel; (c) any direct or indirect owner of any beneficial interest in Sellers; (d) any officer, director, employee, or agent of Sellers, their counsel, or any direct or indirect owner of any beneficial interest in

Sellers; and (e) any other entity or individual affiliated or related in any way to any of the foregoing.

     “Sellers’ Warranties” shall mean Sellers’ representations and warranties set forth in (a) the Purchase Agreement and (b) any documents executed by Seller for the benefit of Purchaser in connection with the Closing, as the same may be deemed modified or waived by Purchaser pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

     2. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, prior to the date hereof (the date of Closing under the Purchase Agreement): (a) without limiting any rights or remedies that Purchaser may have against Sellers as a result of a breach of any of Sellers’ Warranties, Purchaser had access to, the Facilities and all books, records and files of the Manager of the Facilities; (b) Purchaser has conducted (or has waived its right to conduct) all Due Diligence (including Due Diligence with respect to Hazardous Materials) as Purchaser considered necessary or appropriate; (c) Purchaser has reviewed, examined, evaluated and verified the results of its Due Diligence to the extent it deems necessary or appropriate with the assistance of such experts as Purchaser deemed appropriate; (d) Purchaser has determined to its satisfaction the assignability of any Documents to be assigned as part of the transactions contemplated in the Purchase Agreement; and (e) except for, and only to the extent of, Sellers’ Warranties, is acquiring the Interests based exclusively upon its own Due Diligence and its awareness of the conditions of the Owned Assets and of the status of all of the operations of the Facilities.

     (e)      Except as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, Sellers are under no duty to make any affirmative disclosures or inquiry regarding any matter which may or may not be known to either Seller or any of the other Seller Parties, and Purchaser, for itself and for its successors and assigns, hereby specifically waives and releases Sellers and each of the other Seller Parties from any such duty that otherwise might exist.

     4.      Without limiting any rights or remedies that Purchaser may have against Sellers as a result of a breach of any of Sellers’ Warranties, any repairs or work required by Purchaser are the sole responsibility of Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees that there is no obligation on the part of Seller to make any changes, alterations or repairs to the Real Property or the Facilities, including, without limitation, to cure any violations of Law, comply with the requirements of any insurer or otherwise. Purchaser is solely responsible for obtaining any certificate of occupancy or any other approval or permit necessary for the transfer or occupancy of the Real Property and the Facilities and for any repairs or alterations necessary to obtain the same, all at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense.

     5.      Without limiting any rights or remedies that Purchaser may have against Seller as a result of a breach of any of Sellers’ Warranties and except as expressly provided hereinbelow in this Section 5, Purchaser, for Purchaser and Purchaser’s successors and assigns, hereby releases Sellers and each of the other Seller Parties from, and waives any and all Liabilities against Sellers and each of the other Seller Parties for or attributable to or in connection with the Owned Assets, whether arising or accruing before, on or after the date hereof and whether attributable to events or circumstances which have heretofore or may hereafter occur, including, without limitation, the following:

               (a)      any and all statements or opinions heretofore or hereafter made, or information furnished, by the Seller Parties to Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s Representatives;

               (b)      any and all Liabilities with respect to the structural, physical, or environmental condition of the Real Property or the Facilities;

               (c)      any and all Liabilities relating to the release of or the presence, discovery or removal of any Hazardous Materials in, at, about or under the Real Property, or for, connected with or arising out of any and all claims or causes of action based upon CERCLA (Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, 42 U.S.C. §§9601 et seq., as amended by SARA (Superfund Amendment and Reauthorization Act of 1986) and as may be further amended from time to time), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, 42 U.S.C. §§6901 et seq., or any related claims or causes of action or any other federal, state or municipal based statutory or regulatory causes of action for environmental contamination at, in, about or under the Real Property;

               (d)      any and all tort claims made or brought with respect to the Real Property, the Facilities or the use or operation thereof;

B-5


 

               (e)      any implied or statutory warranties or guaranties of fitness, merchantability or any other statutory or implied warranty or guaranty of any kind or nature regarding or relating to any portion of the Owned Assets; and

               (f)      any and all Liabilities relating to the condition or status of the Facility Owners’ title to the Facilities.

Nothing contained in the covenants of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the release and waiver set forth in this Section 5 is intended or shall be construed to affect or impair any rights or remedies that Purchaser may have against Sellers as a result of a breach of any of Sellers’ Warranties; nor is such release and waiver intended to, and such release and waiver shall not be construed to, effect any contractual assumption of liability as to matters which were are not expressly assumed by Purchaser in the documents executed by Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.

     6.      Purchaser expressly understands and acknowledges that it is possible that unknown Liabilities may exist with respect to the Facilities or be otherwise included among the Assumed Liabilities and that Purchaser explicitly took that possibility into account in determining and agreeing to buy the Owned Assets and pay the Purchase Price, and that a portion of such consideration, having been bargained for between parties with the knowledge of the possibility of such unknown Liabilities has been given in exchange for a full accord and satisfaction and discharge of all such Liabilities. Purchaser has also had all information necessary to evaluate the value of the Owned Assets and their respective marketability. Based on all such information and any other information Purchaser has desired to obtain, Purchaser acknowledges that the Purchase Price is a fair price for the Owned Assets.

     7.      Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Agreement were a material factor in Sellers’ agreement to sell the Owned Assets and to accept the Purchase Price and, while Sellers have made the Documents available to Purchaser and cooperated with Purchaser, Sellers are unwilling to sell the Owned Assets unless Sellers and the other Seller Parties are expressly released as set forth in Section 5.

     8.      This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

     9.      If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any persons or circumstances shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

     10.      This Agreement is in addition to and in no way replaces or is in lieu of the covenants, representations and warranties set forth in the Purchase Agreement, including but not limited to those in Section 2.4 thereof.
