If Sellers elect not to so remove or correct any such Unpermitted Exceptions or Survey Defects, then Purchasers may elect upon written notice to Sellers made by the later of (i) the expiration date of the Due Diligence Period or (ii) ten (10) business days after the expiration of Seller’s Response Period to either: (A) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Sellers (in which event the Escrow Deposit shall be returned to Purchasers); or (B) take the Property as it then is without any reduction in the Purchase Price.

If, at the time of Closing, the estimated cost of repairing such damage is more than FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($500,000.00), as determined by such independent adjuster, Purchasers may, at their sole option: (i) terminate this Agreement by notice to Sellers within fifteen (15) days after such casualty (which shall be deemed a termination pursuant to Section 19(a)(i) of this Agreement); or (ii) proceed to Closing in accordance with Section 18(b)If, prior to Closing, a “material” portion of the Property is taken by eminent domain, then Purchasers shall have the right within fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice of such material taking to terminate this Agreement, (which shall be deemed a termination pursuant to Section 19(a)(i) of this Agreement). If Purchasers elect to proceed and to consummate the purchase despite said material taking (such election being deemed to have been made unless Purchasers notify Sellers to the contrary within fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice from Sellers to Purchasers of any taking), or if there is less than a material taking prior to Closing, there shall be no reduction in or abatement of the Purchase Price and Purchasers shall be required to purchase the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and Sellers shall assign to Purchasers, without recourse, all of Sellers’ right, title and interest in and to any award made or to be made in the eminent domain proceeding with respect to such taking (in which event Purchasers shall have the right to participate in the adjustment and settlement of such eminent domain proceeding). For the purpose of this Section, the term “material” shall mean any taking of in excess of ten percent (10%) of the square footage of any of the Facilities or twenty percent (20%) of the Real Property associated with any of the Facilities, which would: (i) adversely affect Purchasers’ or New Operators’ ability after said taking to operate any of the Facilities in compliance with the Licenses with the same number of beds at the applicable Facility as are existing with respect to such Facility as of the date of this Agreement; or (ii) eliminate after said taking a means of egress and ingress to and from the applicable Facility to a public highway; or (iii) cause the use of the applicable Facility after said taking to no longer be in compliance with all applicable zoning and building rules, regulations and ordinances.
19.TERMINATION.

This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing by: (i) the mutual written consent of the Sellers and Purchasers; (ii) by Purchasers, if Purchasers’ conditions to their obligations to close under Section 15 herein are not satisfied or waived by Purchasers on or before the Closing Date; (iii) by Purchasers if Sellers are in breach of their obligations under this Agreement and such breach has not been (A) waived in writing by Purchasers or (B) cured by Sellers within twenty-one (21) days after notice to Sellers of such breach; (iv) by Sellers, if Sellers’ conditions to their obligations to close under Section 16 herein are not satisfied or waived by Sellers on or before the Closing Date; (v) by Purchasers if the final, non-appealable court order and written confirmation referred to in Section 15(o) have not been received by the date that is 60-days after the Effective Date; (vi) by Purchasers or Sellers if Purchasers have
10370945.3 23

(ii.) Upon termination of this Agreement under Section 19(a)(i), Section 19(a)(ii), Section 19(a)(iii), Section 19(a)(iv), Section 19(a)(v) or Section 19(a)(vi), the Escrow Deposit shall be returned to Purchasers, as Purchasers’ sole and exclusive remedy.

(iii.) the untruth of any of the representations or the breach of any of the warranties of Sellers herein;
(iv.) any default by Sellers in the performance of any of its commitments, covenants or obligations under this Agreement;

(b.) Purchasers’ Indemnity. Purchaser, for itself and its successors and assigns, hereby jointly and severally indemnify and agree to defend and hold Sellers, their successors, assigns, affiliates, managers, members, directors, officers, agents, servants and employees harmless from and against any and all Losses which Sellers may suffer as a result of:
(i.) the untruth of the representations or the breach of any of the warranties of Purchasers herein;
(ii.) any default by Purchasers in the performance of any of its commitments, covenants or obligations under this Agreement;
(iii.) any suits, arbitration proceedings, administrative actions or investigations to the extent relating to the ownership and use of the Property by Purchasers on or after the Effective Time; or
(iv.) any liability which may arise from ownership, use or condition of the Property on or after the Effective Time to the extent it relates to the ownership or use of the Property on or after the Effective Time.
(c.) If any party entitled to Indemnity under this Section 20 (the “Indemnitee”) receives notice of any claim or the commencement of any proceeding with respect to which any other party (or parties) is obligated to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) pursuant to Section 20(a) or 20(b), the Indemnitee shall promptly, but in no event more than thirty (30) days after notice such claim, give the Indemnifying Party notice thereof.

Both the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party may participate in the defense of such asserted liability (provided that, so long as the Indemnifying Party is controlling the litigation, the expenses of counsel for the Indemnitee shall be borne by the Indemnitee) and neither may settle or compromise any claim over the reasonable objection of the other. Notwithstanding anything to the
10370945.3 25
contrary contained herein, the Indemnitee may assume control of the defense or resolution of any such matter if the Indemnifying Party does not diligently defend or settle such matter, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall continue to be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee in connection with such matter (including counsel expenses) and that the Indemnitee may not settle or compromise any such matter without the consent of Indemnifying Party which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any claim, the Indemnitee shall make available to the Indemnifying Party, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, any books, records or other documents within its control that are necessary or appropriate for such defense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (a) Sellers’ Surviving Liabilities shall not under any circumstances exceed the Maximum Indemnity Amount and Purchasers shall look solely to the Escrow Holdback Deposit for payment of any indemnity claims, and (b) where Sellers’ Surviving Liabilities include an obligation to “indemnify, defend and hold Purchasers and New Operators harmless,” Purchasers on their own behalf and on the behalf of the New Operators agree that after the Closing Date, Sellers’ Surviving Liabilities shall be limited to an obligation to indemnify and hold Purchasers and New Operators harmless (but shall not include an obligation to defend Purchasers and New Operators) subject to the Maximum Indemnity Amount.
