CONDITIONS TO CLOSING
CONDITIONS TO CLOSING
4.1 Buyer’s Conditions to Closing. Buyer’s obligation to acquire and Seller’s obligation to sell the Project, and the Closing, shall, in addition to any other conditions set forth herein, be conditional and contingent upon the satisfaction, or waiver by Buyer of the following conditions:
4.1.1 Condition of Title. Within two (2) business days after the Effective Date, Buyer shall, order a Title Commitment, issued by Title Insurer, together with legible copies of the Exception Documents. If, on or before 2:00 p.m. Pacific time on the twenty-fifth (25th) day following the Effective Date (the “Title Objection Deadline”), Buyer disapproves by written notice to Seller any items described in the Title Commitment, Exception Documents, or the survey (“Buyer’s Disapproval Notice”), Seller shall then have three (3) days following receipt of Buyer’s Disapproval Notice, in Seller’s discretion, to elect by written notice to Buyer whether to eliminate or cure such matters as referenced in Buyer’s Disapproval Notice. Seller’s lack of response shall be deemed Seller’s election not to cure any matters disapproved by Buyer. In the event Buyer fails to timely provide a Buyer’s Disapproval Notice, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved all title and survey matters. Seller’s agreement to attempt to remove such disapproved
8
items shall not be deemed an agreement by Seller to remove such disapproved items nor shall Seller’s failure to remove such disapproved items, for any reason whatsoever, be considered or deemed a default by Seller under, or a breach by Seller of, the terms of this Agreement. Buyer shall have until the End of the Inspection Period to either (X) terminate this Agreement (in which case the Escrow and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate and, if Buyer is not in default hereunder, the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, but less the Independent Consideration, shall be returned to Buyer) or (Y) agree to accept title to the Project subject to the disapproved matters that Seller cannot, or will not, remove. In the absence of notice from Buyer pursuant to (Y) above, Buyer shall be deemed to make an election under (Y) above. The exceptions to title that Buyer approves under this Section 4.1.1 shall be referred to as “Permitted Title Exceptions.” “Permitted Title Exceptions” shall mean and include: (1) a lien to secure payment of real estate taxes that are not delinquent and a lien for any assessments that are not delinquent; (2) matters affecting the Project created by or with the written consent of Buyer; (3) to the extent Buyer does not elect to obtain an updated survey, all matters that would have been revealed in an accurate survey; and (4) exceptions that are disclosed by the Title Commitment and that are approved or deemed approved by Buyer as set forth herein. Following Buyer’s approval (or deemed approval, as the case may be) of the condition of title, Buyer waives any and all rights to terminate this Agreement due to the waived condition of title and/or the Survey and waives any claims against Seller arising thereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller shall be obligated to cure and remove (or procure title insurance over on terms acceptable to Buyer in its sole discretion) all of the following (“Mandatory Cure Items”), if any: (i) the liens of any mortgage, trust deed or deed of trust evidencing a Seller’s indebtedness affecting the Project; (ii) tax liens for delinquent ad valorem real estate taxes; and (iii) mechanics liens pursuant to a written agreement between the claimant (the “Contract Claimant”) and Seller or its employees, officers or managing agents (the “Seller Parties”). If, on or prior to Closing, Seller despite good faith efforts fails to cure and remove (or procure title insurance over on terms acceptable to Buyer in its sole discretion) such matters as referenced in Buyer’s Disapproval Notice that Seller agreed to cure or any Mandatory Cure Items then Buyer shall be entitled to (as its sole and exclusive remedy), at its option and by delivery of written notice to Seller on or prior to Closing, to either (A) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit (including all interest earned thereon) shall be returned to Buyer, and this Agreement, without further action of the parties, shall become null and void and neither party shall have any further liabilities or obligations under this Agreement except for those liabilities and obligations which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement, or (B) proceed to close with title to the Project as it then is.
In the event the Title Commitment is amended after the Title Objection Deadline to include a new exception that was not previously known to Buyer, consented to by Buyer, or not set forth in the prior Title Commitment or Exception Documents (or otherwise disclosed by a survey of the Project and/or any inspections prepared or conducted by or on behalf of Buyer, and/or in any manner relating to items caused by Buyer or its agents, partners, affiliates, successors, assigns, employees, consultants, contractors or subcontractors) and such new exception adversely affects Buyer’s intended use of the Project or has/have an adverse financial impact on Buyer’s expected operation of the Project, Buyer shall have until the later of (i) the End of Inspection, or (ii) the date that is five (5) business days after Buyer’s receipt of the amended Title Commitment and copies of the documents identified in the new exceptions or new requirements, within which to either (x) cancel this Agreement and receive a refund of the
9
Xxxxxxx Money Deposit or (y) to provisionally accept the title subject to Seller’s agreement to cause the removal of or otherwise cure the disapproved matters (such notice under (y) being the “Amended Notice of Title Objections”). Seller shall notify Buyer in writing within three (3) days after receiving Buyer’s Amended Notice of Title Objections, if Seller intends to remove (or cause the Title Insurer to endorse over, to Buyer’s satisfaction) or otherwise cure any such disapproved matters. Seller’s lack of response shall be deemed as Seller’s election not to unconditionally cure the disapproved matters prior to the Closing. Buyer shall thereafter have until the later of two (2) days from receipt of Seller’s response or (if no response) the expiration of the Seller’s three-day response period set forth above, to elect to cancel this Agreement and receive a refund of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit or accept title as provided by the Title Insurer.

Buyer’s failure to disapprove any estoppel received within three (3) days after receipt shall be deemed Buyer’s approval thereof. Seller’s failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in this Section 4.1.3 shall not constitute a Seller default hereunder. If the foregoing conditions are not satisfied on or before the Closing Date, then Buyer may elect, as its sole remedy by written notice given to Seller on or before the Closing, to either (i) terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, or (ii) waive such condition whereupon the transaction shall proceed to the scheduled Closing.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Buyer shall have no right to terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit as a result of a failure of this Buyer’s condition in the event either: (i) Seller does not have such right to an estoppel under the applicable CC&R (or to the extent the parties entitled to enforce such CC&R are not required to deliver an estoppel) or (ii) Buyer fails to timely deliver to Seller on or before five (5) business days following the Effective Date the Buyer’s information (e.g. name of Buyer’s entity) to reference in the applicable estoppel request. To the extent a prescribed form is not specified in
11
the applicable CC&R, such estoppel certificate shall: (i) be executed by each party entitled to enforce such document; (ii) confirm that such document is in full force and effect, unmodified except as revealed by the Title Commitment; (iii) confirm that there are no defaults by Seller and/or the Project under such document; (iv) confirm that there are no outstanding sums owed by Seller and/or the Project; (v) confirm that there are no outstanding construction or similar obligations of Seller and/or the Project; (vi) be dated no earlier than thirty (30) days prior to Closing; and (vii) be otherwise reasonably acceptable to Buyer.
4.1.6 Ground Lessor Estoppel. Provided Buyer has timely provided the information necessary to obtain an estoppel from and provided this Agreement has not been terminated as specifically set forth in this Agreement and Buyer is performing its obligations as set forth herein, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts after the End of the Inspection Period to obtain and deliver to Buyer, no later than three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date, an estoppel certificate (i) on a commercially reasonable form provided by Buyer with Buyer’s information completed therein within five (5) business days from the Effective Date or, (ii) to the extent Buyer fails to deliver such form to Seller within five (5) business of the Effective Date, then in such form attached hereto as Exhibit “K” (the applicable form hereinafter referred to as the “Ground Lessor Estoppel”). For purposes of this Agreement, the "Ground Lease Estoppel Requirement" shall be receipt by Buyer of the Ground Lessor Estoppel duly executed by the Ground Lessor under the Ground Lease, such estoppel to be dated not more than thirty (30) days prior to Closing. Seller’s failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in this Section 4.1.6 shall not constitute a Seller default hereunder. If the foregoing condition is not satisfied on or before the Closing Date, then Buyer may elect, as its sole remedy by written notice given to Seller on or before the Closing, to either (i) terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, or (ii) waive such condition whereupon the transaction shall proceed to the scheduled Closing. Seller may extend the Closing Date one (1) time, for up to ten (10) days, to satisfy the Ground Lease Estoppel Requirement. To the extent the Closing is extended pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or by mutual agreement of Buyer and Seller, Buyer agrees to accept the Ground Lessor Estoppel dated more than thirty (30) days prior to the extended Closing Date and shall not require Seller to obtain a new Ground Lessor Estoppel dated within thirty (30) days of such extended Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Buyer shall have no right to terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit as a result of a failure of this Buyer’s condition in the event Buyer fails to timely deliver to Seller on or before five (5) business days following the Effective Date the Buyer’s information (e.g. name of Buyer’s entity) to reference in the Ground Lessor Estoppel request to the Ground Lessor.
4.1.7 Covenants. By the Closing Date, Buyer shall not be in default in the performance of any material covenant or agreement to be performed by Seller under this Agreement.

12
4.1.9 No Litigation. Except as disclosed in the Building Documents, on the Closing Date, no action or proceeding shall have been instituted or, to Seller’s knowledge, be threatened in writing before any court or governmental authority (a) that relates to the Project and affects the Project after the Closing Date or (b) that seeks to restrain or prohibit, or to obtain substantial damages in respect of, or which is related to or arises out of, this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein, unless Seller has demonstrated, to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction, that any costs and liabilities to be incurred in connection with such matters are fully covered by Seller’s insurance (subject to commercially reasonable deductibles paid Seller) and Seller provides a written commitment to assign all proceeds therefrom to Buyer and add Buyer as an additional insured party under such insurance policy.
4.1.10 Ground Lease. Seller shall have obtained and delivered to Escrow Holder the consent of Ground Lessor to the conveyance of the Property to Buyer in accordance with the Ground Lease (the “Ground Lessor Consent”).

At or prior to the Closing, Title Insurer shall have received reasonably satisfactory evidence that Seller has the power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to execute and deliver all of the other agreements and documents required to be executed and delivered as provided herein, and to sell the Project to Buyer in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof, and that the persons and parties executing this Agreement and such other agreements and documents to be delivered to Buyer on behalf of Seller have been duly authorized to do so.
The conditions set forth in this Section 4.1 are solely for the benefit of Buyer and may be either approved, deemed approved or otherwise waived in writing by Buyer. Buyer shall at all times have the right to waive any condition. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall require Seller to bring any suit or other proceeding or to pay any substantial sum, to satisfy any of such conditions. If any of the conditions in this Section 4.1 are not waived by Buyer, timely satisfied, approved or deemed approved, Buyer shall have the right by written notice to Seller to terminate this Agreement and the Escrow. Except as otherwise specifically set forth above, if Buyer timely terminates this Agreement in accordance with the foregoing, the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit, or such portion thereof that has theretofore been deposited by Buyer with Escrow Holder (less one-half of any escrow and title cancellation fees and costs and the Independent Consideration) shall be refunded to Buyer, all documents deposited into Escrow shall be returned to the party depositing such documents, and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except for those rights or obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement. Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding the failure of any condition, the occurrence of the Closing shall constitute conclusive evidence that Buyer has waived the Buyer’s conditions set forth herein.
4.2 Seller’s Conditions to Closing. Seller’s obligation to sell the Project, and the Closing, shall, in addition to any other conditions set forth herein, be conditional and contingent upon the satisfaction, or waiver by Seller, of the following conditions:

4.2.5 Portfolio Purchase. Buyer acquires all three (3) Properties comprising the Project on the Closing Date. Buyer’s failure to do so shall be deemed, in addition to a failure to satisfy Seller’s conditions to closing, a Buyer default for which Seller may exercise its rights under Section 8.2.
Seller shall have the right (in its sole and absolute discretion) to elect to waive any Seller’s conditions to the Closing. In the event any Seller’s conditions are not satisfied, deemed satisfied, or waived by Seller prior to the expiration of the applicable period for satisfaction or waiver (and in the absence of a specified period then at or before the Closing Date), Seller may terminate this Agreement and the rights of Seller and Buyer hereunder. In the event Seller elects to terminate this Agreement due to a failure of the Seller’s conditions set forth above or as a result of a Buyer default, all original documents delivered by one party to the other party shall be returned (or destroyed if such documents are copies) to the party making delivery upon three (3) business day’s written notice to the other party and, if such termination occurs after the End of the Inspection Period, the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit shall be delivered to Seller. Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding the failure of any condition, the occurrence of the Closing shall constitute conclusive evidence that Seller has waived the same.

(c) Seller and Buyer shall use their good faith efforts to prorate Additional Rent in a manner that will be final at Closing. However, if despite their efforts, the proration of Additional Rent at Closing cannot be a final proration (as determined by either Seller or Buyer), then the proration of Additional Rent shall be subject to adjustment following the end of the month in which the Closing occurs.

Buyer shall give Seller a written computation of its proposed adjusted proration of Additional Rent to Closing, including evidence or support for Buyer’s computations, and Seller and Buyer shall in good faith work with each other to finalize the Additional Rent proration within 30 days after such month-end.

If Buyer does not exercise such termination right by timely delivering such written notice of termination to Seller and Escrow Holder, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of such condemnation or threatened or pending action, and the amount of any condemnation award received by Seller prior to Closing shall be applied as a credit against the Purchase Price at the Closing, and any condemnation awards received by Seller on or after the Closing shall be promptly delivered by Seller to Buyer. If Buyer does exercise such termination right, then: (i) this Agreement and the rights of Buyer and Seller hereunder shall terminate and be of no further force and effect except for any surviving obligations; (ii) Escrow Holder shall return the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit to Buyer and shall return to each party which placed such items in Escrow all other funds (and any interest thereon) and documents held by Escrow Holder on the date of termination; and (iii) Buyer and Seller shall each bear one-half (1/2) of any Escrow and title cancellation fees. Any condemnation settlement proposed by or to Seller after the End of the Inspection Period and prior to the Closing hereunder must be approved by Buyer, which approval may be granted or withheld by Buyer in Buyer’s sole discretion.
11.2 Damage or Destruction. Subject to all the terms of this Agreement, in the event of any damage to or destruction of the Project prior to the Closing, which in Seller’s good faith estimate will cost less than One Hundred and Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($150,000.00), to repair, the Closing shall nevertheless occur as otherwise provided for in this Agreement (and Seller shall have no obligation to repair such damage) except that Seller shall assign to Buyer upon the Closing all insurance proceeds paid or payable to Seller in connection with such occurrence and provide Buyer with a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of any deductible or any amount not covered by insurance; and if such damage or destruction is the result of an uninsured casualty, which in Seller’s good faith estimate will cost less than One Hundred and Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($150,000.00), to repair, then Seller shall provide Buyer with a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of such estimated cost to repair. In the event of any damage to or destruction of the Project prior to the Closing, which in Seller’s good faith estimate will cost One Hundred and Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($150,000.00), or more to repair, Seller shall have no obligation to repair such damage or destruction, but Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of such damage and within ten (10) business days after receipt of such notice (but not later than two (2) business days before the Closing Date), Buyer shall deliver written notice to Seller and Escrow Holder, electing either: (i) to proceed with this transaction and the Closing in accordance with this Agreement notwithstanding such damage or destruction; or (ii) to terminate this Agreement; provided, however, that if such notice is delivered by Seller to Buyer within two (2) business days prior to the Closing Date, then Buyer may elect to proceed or to terminate this Agreement at any time up to and including the Closing Date. If Buyer elects to proceed (and Buyer’s failure to timely deliver such written notice of termination to Seller and Escrow Holder shall be deemed to constitute Buyer’s election to proceed), then Seller shall assign to Buyer upon Closing all insurance proceeds paid or payable to Seller in connection with such occurrence and provide Buyer with a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of any deductible in the case of an insured loss. If Buyer does exercise such termination right by timely delivering such written notice of termination to Seller

and Escrow Holder, then: (i) this Agreement and the rights of Buyer and Seller hereunder shall terminate and be of no further force and effect except for any surviving obligations; (ii) Escrow Holder shall return the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit to Buyer and shall return to each party which placed such items in Escrow all other funds (and any interest thereon) and documents held by Escrow Holder on the date of termination; and (iii) Buyer and Seller shall each bear one-half (1/2) of any Escrow and title cancellation fees.

Furthermore, Buyer shall exercise its best efforts to require that their respective employees, representatives and agents comply with the foregoing.
11.22 Not an Offer. Seller’s delivery of unsigned copies of this Agreement is solely for the purpose of review by the party to whom delivered, and neither the delivery nor any prior communications between the parties shall in any way imply that Seller is under any obligation to enter the transaction which is the subject of this Agreement.

11.24 Buyer’s Disclosures. Seller acknowledges that it is Buyer’s intention that the ultimate acquirer be a subsidiary of a corporation that is or intends to qualify as a real estate investment trust and that, as such, it is subject to certain filing and reporting requirements in accordance with federal laws and regulations, including but not limited to, regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Accordingly, and notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the provisions of any other existing agreement between the parties hereto to the contrary, following the Closing of the transactions contemplated herein, Buyer may publically file, disclose, report or publish any and all information related to this transaction that may be reasonably interpreted as being required by federal law or regulation. Seller agrees and acknowledges that Buyer shall have the right to include a copy of this Agreement as an exhibit to the Form 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The provisions of this Section 11.25 shall survive the Closing.

11.26 Non-Solicitation. For the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller covenants and agrees that it shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Affiliates, or their successors and assigns, directly or indirectly, to initiate a first call with or solicit any Tenant of the Project for the purpose of leasing space to such Tenant at another property owned, managed, operated or otherwise controlled by Seller or its Affiliates within the Unrestricted Area (as defined below). For the purposes of this Section 11.26, the term (a) “Affiliate” means any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture or other entity, regardless of how organized or identified, which is directly or indirectly controlled by Seller, and (b) “control” means, when used with respect to any person, the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise, and the terms “controlling” and “controlled” have correlative meanings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Seller shall not be in default of or otherwise subject to the terms of this Section 11.25 in the event that either: (i) a Tenant at the Project initiates the first contact with the Seller or its Affiliates regarding tenancy opportunities at any property owned by Seller or its Affiliates (regardless of where Seller or its Affiliate’s property is located), (ii) the new tenancy with Seller or its Affiliates will not directly result in the applicable Tenant vacating the premises at the particularly Property, or (iii) such leasing to a particular Tenant is outside a five (5) mile radius of the current location of the Property in which the particular Tenant occupies space (the “Unrestricted Area”). This Section 11.26 shall survive the Closing.
11.27 Board Approval. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Project is conditioned upon the approval by the Board of Directors of Xxxxxxx-American Healthcare REIT III, Inc. (the “Board”) prior to End of the Inspection Period, which approval may be given or denied in the Board’s sole and absolute discretion. In the event Buyer does not deliver written notice of such Board approval to Seller on or before the End of the Inspection Period, this Agreement shall terminate, the Deposit (less the Independent Consideration) shall be returned to Buyer without any further action required from either Party, and Seller and Buyer shall thereupon be discharged from any further liability to the other arising from this Agreement (except with respect to provisions of this Agreement which recite that they survive termination). Upon Buyer’s delivery of notice to Seller of the Board approval, this condition shall be deemed satisfied and Buyer shall not have any right to terminate the Agreement under this Section 11.27.
11.28 Columbus Property Water and Sewer Charges. Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Buyer at Closing a paid receipt for water and sewer from the municipal authority responsible for the same if unpaid water and sewer charges constitute a lien against the Columbus Property.
11.29 Olympia Fields Property Inspection. Seller will request an inspection of the Olympia Fields Property by the Village of Olympia Fields, Illinois Building Department (“Village”) at least 10 days prior to the Closing and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Buyer on or before the Closing Date a written approval from the Village as to the Olympia Fields Property not being in violation.
