In order to induce Seller to enter into the transactions provided for in this Agreement, Purchaser hereby warrants and represents to Seller that (as of the Effective Date and on the Closing Date, unless otherwise noted) the following warranties and representations shall be true and correct in all material respects, which warranties and representations shall survive the Closing hereunder:

5.1 Purchaser and Manager are each a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation. Purchaser and Manager each have the corporate power and authority to (a) in the case of Purchaser, acquire the MS Interest, and (b) to enter into the Transaction contemplated by this Agreement and to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement, and the assumption and other documents contemplated hereby to be executed and performed by it (collectively, the “Purchaser’s Documents”). The execution, delivery and performance by Purchaser and Manager of this Agreement and the other Purchaser’s Documents has been duly authorized by all necessary organizational action of Purchaser and Manager and this Agreement is, and at the Closing, the other Purchaser’s Documents will, when executed and delivered by Purchaser and Manager, constitute the legal, valid, binding obligations of Purchaser and Manager enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms and provisions, subject to applicable bankruptcy and other like laws affecting the rights of contractual parties and creditors generally, and the exercise of judicial or administrative discretion in accordance with general equitable principles (whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

5.2 There are no suits, actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Purchaser, threatened against or affecting Purchaser, Manager or the Transaction contemplated hereunder before or by any court or administrative agency or officer, to prohibit or enjoin the consummation of the Transaction provided for herein or which could materially and adversely affect the ability of Purchaser or Manager to perform its obligations under the Purchaser’s Documents.

5.3 Except as provided for in Sections 10.2.5 and 10.2.6, no consent, approval or other action of, or filing (other than filings in the normal course of Purchaser’s business) or registration with, any governmental agency or commission is required in connection with the execution, delivery, observance or performance by Purchaser or Manager of this Agreement or the Transaction provided for herein.

5.4 Provided Lender’s and BofA’s consent to the Transaction is obtained as of Closing, the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Purchaser’s Documents executed and delivered by Purchaser or Manager, the Transaction provided for herein and therein, respectively, and compliance with or fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof, will not (a) result in a breach of any of the terms and provisions of or constitute a default under or conflict with, or result in the creation of any mortgage, lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any of the properties or assets of Purchaser or Manager pursuant to, any agreement, indenture, mortgage, lien, lease, consent, license, franchise or other instrument to which Purchaser or Manager is bound or under which Purchaser or Manager’s properties are affected, or (b) violate any law, rule, regulation, judgment, order, decree, writ or injunction applicable to Purchaser or Manager.

5.5 Purchaser represents that Purchaser and Manager are not a Prohibited Person.

5.6 There has not been filed by or against any Purchaser a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or for reorganization, or for the appointment of a receiver

or trustee, nor has any such entity made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or filed a petition for an arrangement or entered into an arrangement with creditors or admitted in writing the inability to pay its debts as they become due.

5.7 Purchaser is acquiring the MS Interest for investment, solely for its own account, with the intention of holding the MS Interest for investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution or public offering or resale of any portion of such Interest within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or such other securities laws.

5.8 Purchaser acknowledges that it is aware that the MS Interest has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or under any other state or federal securities law in reliance upon exemptions contained therein. Purchaser understands and acknowledges that its representations and warranties contained herein are being relied upon by Seller as the basis for exemption of the sale of the MS Interest from registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and such other securities laws. Purchaser acknowledges that the Partnership will not and has no obligation to register the MS Interest under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or such other securities laws.

5.9 Purchaser acknowledges that it is familiar with the business and affairs of the Company, and it does not desire any further information or data relating to the Company, the Facilities or other members of the Company. Purchaser understands that the acquisition of the MS Interest is a speculative investment involving a high degree of risk and hereby represents that it has a net worth sufficient to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Company and to justify its investing in a highly speculative venture of this type.

5.10 Purchaser hereby acknowledges that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither Seller nor any person acting on behalf of Seller, nor any successor or assign of any of the foregoing parties, has made or shall be deemed to have made any oral or written representations or warranties, whether expressed or implied, by operation of law or otherwise (including without limitation warranties of habitability, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose), with respect to the Facilities, or the zoning and other laws, regulations and rules applicable thereto or the compliance by the Facilities therewith, the revenues and expenses generated by or associated with the Facilities, or otherwise relating to the Facilities or the Transaction contemplated herein. Purchaser is acquiring the MS Interest based solely on its own independent investigation and inspection of the Facilities and its own independent review of the Operating Agreement and not in reliance on any information provided by Seller, except for the representations of Seller expressly set forth herein.

5.11 Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it is purchasing the MS Interest, based upon the condition (physical or otherwise) of the Facilities “as is” and “with all faults” as of the Effective Date, reasonable wear and tear and, subject to the provisions of Section 9 hereof, loss by condemnation or fire or other casualty excepted. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that its obligations under this Agreement shall not be subject to any financing contingency or, except as provided in Section 10.2, other contingencies or satisfaction of conditions, and Purchaser shall have no right to terminate this Agreement except as expressly provided in Section 11.1.
