The obligation of Seller to pay (or reimburse Buyer for) any and all Transaction Closing Costs shall survive the termination of this Agreement and Closing and the delivery of any conveyance documentation, and, to the extent that Buyer identifies any Transaction Closing Costs that were not paid by Seller at or prior to Closing or the termination of this Agreement, Seller shall reimburse Buyer for any such unpaid Transaction Closing Costs promptly, and in any event within ten (10) business days, after the presentation of invoices therefore by Buyer to Seller. Delinquent amounts owing from Seller to Buyer hereunder shall bear interest at the per annum rate then announced by Citigroup, N.A. as its "prime" or "reference" rate plus four percent (4%) (the "Delinquency Rate"). Except as otherwise provided in Section 12.2, if this Agreement is terminated, other than as a result of a breach by Buyer, Seller shall remain obligated to, and shall reimburse Buyer for any and all Transaction Closing Costs incurred by Buyer. 2.3. Capital Expenditure Holdback. 2.3.1. Capital Repair Notice. As part of Buyer's due diligence inspection of the Property, Buyer has conducted certain engineering and environmental studies and inspections of the Improvements and certain regulatory compliance reviews of the Facilities. Attached hereto as Exhibit B is a description of the engineering reports, a list of repair items (the "Capital Repair Notice") describing any and all of the following repairs, replacements or cures that are necessary at the Improvements to place them in compliance with laws and in a first class condition and working order (collectively, the "Capital Repair Items"): (i) repairs or replacements of physical defects or deficiencies in the Improvements or the systems serving the Improvements (capital or otherwise), including, but not limited to, deferred maintenance items, roof defects and parking lot repairs; (ii) any and all repairs, maintenance, replacements or installations necessary to cause the Improvements to comply with any and all governmental or quasi-governmental laws, ordinances, rules or regulations, including, but not limited to, zoning laws; and (iii) any and all repairs, maintenance or replacements necessary to cause the Improvements to comply with or satisfy the requirements of any Health Departments (as hereinafter defined), Permits, Operator Licenses and Provider Agreements. For purposes of this Agreement, "Health Departments" shall mean departments of health and/or any governmental, quasi-governmental or regulatory authorities of each of the states where the Facilities are located 6 which have jurisdiction over the licensing, ownership and/or operations of the Facilities as healthcare facilities. Buyer and Seller have agreed that the amount necessary to perform all of the Capital Repair Items from and after Closing is $70,545 ("Capital Expenditure Amount"). The "Capital Expenditure Holdback" is $88,181, consisting of the amount equal to the sum of the Capital Expenditure Amount and an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Capital Expenditure Amount. The Capital Expenditure Holdback has been specifically allocated among the Capital Repair Items (each such allocation, an "Allowance Amount") as set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof. 2.3.2. Capital Expenditure Holdback. At Closing, Buyer shall deduct and retain from Seller's net proceeds of the Purchase Price the Capital Expenditure Holdback. From and after Closing, Seller shall cause the Operators, as tenants pursuant to the Lease (as hereinafter defined), to act diligently and in good faith to cure, repair, maintain or replace, as applicable, the Capital Repair Items. Buyer shall reimburse Seller for the cost incurred by the applicable Operator to cure, repair or replace any Capital Repair Item from the Capital Expenditure Holdback up to an amount not to exceed the applicable Allowance Amount for any Capital Repair Item or the amount of the Capital Expenditure Holdback for all Capital Repair Items. Buyer shall provide such reimbursement to Seller only at such time as the Capital Repair Item has been completed to Buyer's reasonable satisfaction and Seller has presented evidence (in the form of final lien waivers from all contractors and subcontractors) that any portion of the cost of such Capital Repair Item required to be paid by Seller hereunder has been paid in full. Any cure, repair or replacement of a Capital Repair Item at any Facility shall be performed by the applicable Operator subject to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Lease applicable to such activities (i.e. the sections of the Lease describing repairs and maintenance and alterations). If the cost incurred by any Operator to complete a Capital Repair Item exceeds the applicable Allowance Amount, such excess cost shall be paid by Seller without contribution from Buyer or the applicable Operator. Any Capital Repair Item shall be repaired, cured, maintained or replaced in a good, workmanlike and lien free fashion. If any part of the Capital Expenditure Holdback has not been applied by Buyer towards the cost of Capital Repair Items after the completion of all Capital Repair Items in accordance with the requirements of this Section 2.3, Buyer shall promptly pay such amounts to Seller after Seller's written request therefor. If Seller has not caused the Operators to repair, maintain, cure or replace the Capital Repair Items within twelve (12) months after Closing, Buyer shall have the right to repair, maintain, replace or cure such Capital Repair Items on behalf of such Operators and at Seller's sole cost. Any costs so incurred by Buyer shall first be deducted from the Capital Expenditure Holdback. If the cost incurred by Buyer to perform any such Capital Repair Items exceed the amounts remaining in the Capital Expenditure Holdback, Seller shall promptly, and in any event within ten (10) business days, reimburse Buyer for such excess costs. Delinquent amounts owing from Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall bear interest at the Delinquency Rate. 2.3.3. THC Responsibility/Survival. THC shall be liable, on a joint and several basis, for all of the obligations of Seller set forth in this Section 2.3. The terms of this Section 2.3 shall survive Closing and the delivery of any conveyance documentation. 2.4. General. Provided that all conditions precedent to Buyer's obligations to close that are set forth in this Agreement ("Conditions Precedent") have been satisfied and 7 fulfilled, or waived in writing by Buyer, the Purchase Price shall be paid to Seller at Closing, plus or minus prorations and other adjustments hereunder and less the Transaction Closing Costs and the Capital Expenditure Holdback, by federal wire transfer of immediately available funds. The portion of the Purchase Price allocated to each Project is set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part hereof (each an "Allocated Purchase Price"). 3. CLOSING.

At Closing, the execution and delivery of the Lease by each Operator, and its performance under the Lease, shall, have been duly authorized by such Operator, and the Lease shall be binding on each Operator and enforceable against each Operator in accordance with its terms. At Closing, no consent of any creditor, investor, judicial or administrative body, governmental authority, Health Department or other governmental body or agency, or other party to such execution, delivery and performance of the Lease by any Operator shall be required. Neither the execution of the Lease nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby will (i) result in a breach of, default under, or acceleration of, any agreement to which any Operator (or its sole member) is a party or by which any Operator (or its sole member) is bound; or (ii) violate any restriction, court order, permit, agreement or other legal obligation to which any Operator (or its sole member) is subject.

Seller's obligation to proceed to closing shall be conditioned upon: 23 6.2.1. Representations and Warranties.

From and after Closing, Seller shall, at Seller's cost, obtain those Transfer Approvals it was unable to obtain prior to Closing that are necessary or advisable (a) in connection with the transfer and conveyance of the Facilities by Seller to Buyer and the Operational Transfer and (b) to allow the Operators to rely on the Transition Permits from and after Closing. From and after Closing, the Operators, as tenants pursuant to the Lease, shall manage and operate the Facilities as healthcare facilities in substantially the same manner and fashion in which they are presently being operated by Seller or Current Owner. Without limitation of any of the foregoing, as part of the Operational Transfer, from and after Closing, Seller shall (or Seller shall cause the Current Owner or the Current Operators, as applicable to), at Seller's cost, (i) cause the issuance to, the Operators of the Operator Approvals; and (ii) cause the ongoing business activities at the Facilities to proceed without interruption from and after Closing subject to the supervision and control of the Operators such that the Operators are fully licensed and approved by any and all necessary governmental and quasi-governmental authorities to conduct business in the Facilities in the ordinary course and receive regular reimbursement under Medicare, Medicaid and other necessary Third Party Payor Programs. It is acknowledged by the parties that from and after Closing until the Operators obtain any and all Operator Approvals, the Operators shall be entitled to use, rely upon and employ the Transition Permits for purposes of conducting business at the Facilities from and after Closing. From and after Closing, Seller shall (and Seller shall cause Current Owner or Current Operator, as applicable to) take such actions; file such applications, petitions and transfers; and obtain and maintain such consents, licenses, permits and approvals from any and all governmental or quasi-governmental authorities and the providers under any 24 Third Party Payor Programs as are necessary, desirable, advisable or required to facilitate the Operational Transfer by allowing (i) the Operators to rely upon, employ or use any and all Transition Permits until such time as the Operators obtain the Operator Approvals necessary to replace such Transition Permits; and (ii) the Assigned Interest Operators to continue to use and rely upon the Transferred Operators Permits applicable to such Facilities.

Following the Closing, the parties shall cooperate fully with each other and shall make available to the other all information, records or documents required to complete any and all federal and state applications/forms required to effectuate the change of ownership of the Facilities. Seller further agrees that an authorized representative shall sign said applications/forms where required by law or applicable regulations to effectuate the change of ownership of the Facilities. The terms of this Section 7 shall survive Closing and the delivery of any conveyance documentation. 7.2. Transfer of Permits. At Closing, Seller shall, at Seller's cost, transfer to Buyer (or cause Current Owner to transfer to Buyer) the Assumed Permits. From and after Closing, Seller shall continue (and shall cause Current Owner to continue to) reasonably assist Buyer in its efforts to obtain any and all Buyer Permits as soon as reasonably practicable after Closing. 8.

All accrued general real estate, personal property and ad valorem taxes for the current year applicable to the Property shall be prorated on an accrual basis utilizing actual final tax bills if available prior to Closing. If such tax bills are not available, then such taxes shall be prorated on the basis of the most currently available tax bills for the Property and promptly re-prorated upon the issuance of final bills therefor, and any amounts due from any party to the other shall be paid in cash at that time. Prior to or at Closing, Seller shall pay or have paid all tax bills that are due and payable prior to or on the Closing Date and shall furnish evidence of such payment to Buyer and the Title Company. Buyer shall apply any credit received at Closing in connection with this Section 10.1 towards the funding of the tax escrow contemplated by Section 3.3 of the Lease. 10.2. Assessments.

All such prorations shall be made on the basis of the actual number of days of the year and month that shall have elapsed as of the Closing Date. The amount of such prorations shall be adjusted in cash after Closing, as and when complete and accurate information becomes available. Seller and Buyer agree to cooperate and use their good faith and diligent efforts to make such adjustments no later than thirty (30) days after the Closing, or as soon as is reasonably practicable if and to the extent that the required final proration information is not available within such thirty (30) day period. The obligations of the parties pursuant to this Section 10 shall survive the Closing and shall not merge into any documents of conveyance delivered at Closing. 11. CLOSING EXPENSES. Seller will pay at Closing, all reasonable and necessary closing costs and expenses, including without limitation, the entire cost of the Title Policy (including the cost of any chain of title searches and the Endorsements), the cost of the Surveys, any fees or premiums incurred in connection with the prepayment of debt encumbering any portion of the Land or the Improvements, the actual fees of Seller's attorneys, the fees of Buyer's attorneys (including local counsel), all documentary and state, county and municipal transfer taxes relating to the instruments of conveyance contemplated herein, and any escrows hereunder. Seller's obligation to reimburse Buyer for such costs (including attorney's fees) shall survive any termination of this Agreement. 12. DEFAULT. 12.1. Default by Seller. In the event Seller fails or refuses to close pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or fails to consummate the Loan Transaction for any reason other than Buyer's failure to perform on terms consistent with this Agreement, Seller or THC shall pay to Buyer, as fixed and liquidated damages (and not as a penalty), the entire Application Fee (as defined in the Loan Term Sheet) plus $500,000 [the "Seller Default Amount"] as Buyer's sole remedy (hereunder, under the Loan Commitment Letter, the Term Sheet, the Commitment Letter, the Loan Term Sheet and otherwise), on account of either or both of Seller's failure to proceed to Closing or proceed with the Loan Transaction. Upon payment of the Seller Default Amount, this Agreement shall be terminated and neither party shall have any further liability hereunder, except for those liabilities that expressly survive a termination of this Agreement. Without limitation of the foregoing, in no event shall Seller or THC be obligated to pay the Seller Default Amount to Buyer on account of both its failure to proceed to Closing hereunder and to the closing of the Loan Transaction such that the Seller Default Amount would be payable twice (such payment being a one time, aggregate payment on account of Seller's failure to proceed with either or both of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Loan Transaction). Additionally, Seller and THC shall remain obligated to reimburse Buyer for its Expenses (as defined in the Commitment Letter) actually incurred, the Transaction Closing Costs and any expenses actually incurred and owing to Buyer pursuant to the Loan Commitment Letter (collectively, "Reimbursement Obligations"); provided, however, that neither Seller nor THC shall be obligated to pay any such Reimbursement Obligations more than once. BUYER, THC AND SELLER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT: (1) THE SELLER DEFAULT AMOUNT IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF AND BEARS A REASONABLE RELATIONSHIP TO THE DAMAGES THAT WOULD BE SUFFERED AND COSTS 28 INCURRED BY BUYER AS A RESULT OF THE FAILURE OF CLOSING TO HAVE OCCURRED DUE TO A DEFAULT OF SELLER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE OR A FAILURE OF SELLER TO PROCEED TO CLOSING; (2) THE ACTUAL DAMAGES SUFFERED AND COSTS INCURRED BY BUYER AS A RESULT OF SUCH FAILURE TO CLOSE DUE TO A DEFAULT OF SELLER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND IMPRACTICAL TO DETERMINE; (3) SELLER SEEKS TO LIMIT ITS LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT TO THE SELLER DEFAULT AMOUNT IN THE EVENT THIS AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED AND THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT CLOSE DUE TO A DEFAULT OF SELLER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE; AND (4) THE SELLER DEFAULT AMOUNT SHALL BE AND CONSTITUTE VALID LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. In the event of any breach, default or failure of performance by or on the part of Seller with respect to any covenant, agreement, representation and warranty or other undertaking that survives Closing, whether such breach, default or failure occurs after Closing or occurs prior to Closing but is first disclosed or discovered after Closing, Buyer shall have all of its remedies at law and in equity on account of such breach, default or failure of performance (except the foregoing sentence shall not apply and Buyer shall be precluded from recovering any such additional amounts from Seller after the termination of this Agreement to the extent Buyer is paid the Seller Default Amount). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the right of Buyer to receive, and the receipt by Buyer of, the Seller Default Amount shall be without limitation upon its right to retain the Good Faith Deposit (as hereinafter defined) pursuant to the Term Sheet, the Commitment Fee (as hereinafter defined) pursuant to the Commitment Letter and any comparable amounts paid by Seller or THC pursuant to the Loan Term Sheet or the Loan Commitment Letter. 12.2. Default by Buyer. In the event (i) Buyer fails or refuses to close pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or to fund the Loan Transaction; and (ii) all of the Conditions Precedent set forth herein and/or all of the conditions to funding the Loan Transaction contained in the Loan Commitment Letter and the Loan Documents, respectively, have been satisfied to the standard set forth herein or therein (collectively, the "Funding Conditions"), Buyer shall pay to Seller, as fixed and liquidated damages (and not as a penalty), Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000) [the "Buyer Default Amount"] as Seller's sole remedy (hereunder, under the Loan Commitment Letter, the Term Sheet, the Commitment Letter, the Loan Term Sheet and otherwise), on account of either or both of Buyer's default hereunder and failure to proceed to Closing or proceed with the Loan Transaction. Upon payment of the Buyer Default Amount, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and neither party shall have any further liability hereunder, except for those liabilities that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement. Without limitation of the foregoing, in no event shall Buyer be obligated to pay the Buyer Default Amount to Seller on account of both its failure to proceed with the transactions described in this Agreement and the Loan Transaction after the Funding Conditions have been satisfied such that the Buyer Default Amount would be payable twice (such payment being a one time, aggregate payment on account of Buyer's failure to proceed with either or both of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Loan Transaction after the Funding Conditions have been satisfied). Additionally, should Buyer be obligated to pay the Buyer Default Amount pursuant to the terms hereof, Buyer shall refund any Expenses paid by Seller, any Transaction Closing Costs paid by Seller hereunder (and any expenses paid by Seller on behalf of Buyer pursuant to the Loan Commitment Letter). Seller shall have no other remedy for 29 any default by Buyer, including any right to damages. BUYER AND SELLER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT: (1) THE BUYER DEFAULT AMOUNT IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF AND BEARS A REASONABLE RELATIONSHIP TO THE DAMAGES THAT WOULD BE SUFFERED AND COSTS INCURRED BY SELLER AS A RESULT OF HAVING WITHDRAWN THE PROPERTY FROM SALE AND THE FAILURE OF CLOSING TO HAVE OCCURRED DUE TO A DEFAULT OF BUYER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AFTER SATISFACTION OF THE FUNDING CONDITIONS; (2) THE ACTUAL DAMAGES SUFFERED AND COSTS INCURRED BY SELLER AS A RESULT OF SUCH WITHDRAWAL AND FAILURE TO CLOSE DUE TO A DEFAULT OF BUYER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AFTER SATISFACTION OF THE FUNDING CONDITIONS WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND IMPRACTICAL TO DETERMINE; (3) BUYER SEEKS TO LIMIT ITS LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT TO THE BUYER DEFAULT AMOUNT IN THE EVENT THIS AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED AND THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT CLOSE DUE TO A DEFAULT OF BUYER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AFTER SATISFACTION OF THE FUNDING CONDITIONS; AND (4) THE BUYER DEFAULT AMOUNT SHALL BE AND CONSTITUTE VALID LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. The foregoing shall not apply to, and Seller shall have no right to the Buyer Default Amount in connection with, a breach, default or failure of performance by Buyer pursuant to Section 14; provided, however, that Seller shall be entitled to pursue an action for actual damages with respect to such breach, default or failure of performance by Buyer pursuant to those Sections. In the event of any breach, default or failure of performance by Buyer of any covenant, agreement, indemnity, representation or warranty of Buyer that survives the Closing or the termination of this Agreement, Seller shall have all of its rights at law or in equity on account of such breach, default or failure of performance (except the foregoing sentence shall not apply and Seller shall be precluded from recovering any such additional amounts from Buyer after the termination of this Agreement to the extent Seller is paid the Buyer Default Amount). 13. TAX-DEFERRED EXCHANGE/ REVERSE EXCHANGE. Buyer may assign all or any of its right, title and interest under this Agreement to any third party intermediary (an "Intermediary") in connection with a tax-deferred exchange or reverse exchange pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (an "Exchange"). In the event Buyer elects to assign this Agreement to an Intermediary, Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer (without incurring any additional liability or any additional third party expenses) in connection with such election and the consummation of the Exchange, including without limitation, by executing an acknowledgment of Buyer's assignment of this Agreement to the Intermediary. 14. INDEMNIFICATION. Seller and THC each hereby agrees and does indemnify and hold Buyer, Buyer's affiliates, and their respective partners, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns (the "Buyer Indemnified Parties") harmless (on a joint and several basis) from and against any and all actual losses, damages, claims, causes of action, judgments, costs and expenses (including, reasonable fees of attorneys) (collectively, "Losses") that may be suffered or incurred by or asserted or awarded against Buyer or any Buyer Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of, or in connection with, or by reason of: (i) any matters contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) any Operator Liabilities, regardless of the period to which such Operator Liabilities relate; (iii) any material inaccuracy, breach or default by Seller or THC in any 30 representations and warranties of Seller or THC hereunder; (iv) any material failure by Seller or THC to perform any material covenant, agreement or undertaking hereunder; (v) any and all actions, suits, litigation, arbitrations, procedures, investigations, or claims arising out of any of the foregoing or out such other conditions that have occurred prior to the Closing Date even though such actions, suits, litigation, arbitrations, procedures, investigations or claims have not be filed or have not come to light until after Closing; (vi) any Environmental Liabilities; (vii) any material breach, default or failure of performance by Current Owner, the Seller Parties or THC pursuant to the Millennium Agreement; and (viii) the inability by Seller to cause the Operational Transfer in accordance with this Agreement, including, but not limited to, Seller's inability to obtain any Transfer Approvals or the inability of the Operators to rely upon the Transition Permits from and after Closing. With respect to items (i), (ii) and (v) set forth above, Seller and THC shall not be required to indemnify Buyer or any Buyer Indemnified Parties from and against any such Losses to the extent such Losses are solely and directly attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Buyer or any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties. The foregoing indemnity shall survive Closing and the delivery of any conveyance documentation. 15. LITIGATION. In the event of litigation between the parties with respect to the Property, this Agreement, the performance of their respective obligations hereunder or the effect of a termination under this Agreement, the losing party shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by the prevailing party in connection with such litigation, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees of counsel selected by the prevailing party. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the obligations of the parties under this Section 14 shall survive termination of this Agreement or Closing and the delivery of any conveyance documentation. 16.
