PURCHASER DILIGENCE/PROPERTY CONTRACTS
3.1 Data Site.
3.1.1 Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that (i) prior to the Effective Date, Seller has granted Purchaser and its representatives access to the Data Site, and Seller has afforded Purchaser and each of its agents and representatives an opportunity to review the Property, including each of the Facilities and the documentation, contracts, agreements, reports, third party deliveries, financials and other information related thereto provided on the Data Site or otherwise made available to Purchaser (collectively, the “Materials”), (ii) Purchaser has reviewed all Third-Party Reports made available to Purchaser and has conducted such independent analyses, studies (including, without limitation, environmental studies and analyses concerning the presence of lead, asbestos, water intrusion and/or fungal growth and any resulting damage, PCBs and radon in and about the Property), investigations and inspections as it deems appropriate in connection with the Property and (iii) Purchaser has completed such review, and all of its diligence with respect to the Property, to its satisfaction. Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that, except as expressly set forth in the Seller’s Representations and subject to Section 7.1, Purchaser shall acquire the Property at Closing subject to the risk that Purchaser has failed to completely and adequately review and consider any or all of the Materials, any physical and/or other inspections of the Property and/or any other information.
3.1.2 Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that, except as expressly set forth in the Seller’s Representations, Seller makes no representations or warranties with respect to the Property (or any portion thereof), the operation, management and/or leasing of the Property or concerning any statements made or information delivered or made available to Purchaser (whether by Seller, any of its Affiliates or any agents, representatives, consultants or advisors of any of the foregoing, or any other Person) with respect to the Property (or any portion thereof) or the business of Seller, whether included as part of the Materials or any other information disclosed to the Purchaser or otherwise, and all such representations and warranties are hereby expressly excluded and disclaimed. Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that, except as expressly set forth in the Seller’s Representations, all Materials are and were provided for informational purposes only, and Purchaser shall not in any way be entitled to rely upon the completeness or accuracy of the Materials, and will instead in all instances rely exclusively on its own inspections, consultants and advisors with respect to all matters which it deems relevant to its decision to acquire, own and operate the Property.
3.2 Property Contracts. Purchaser shall pay all fees, charges and related costs in connection with the assignment of any Assigned Contract to Purchaser.

ARTICLE IV
TITLE
4.1 Title Documents. Prior to the Effective Date, Seller has caused to be delivered to Purchaser, with respect to each Facility, a preliminary title report, or standard form commitment to provide a Title Policy, with respect to such Facility (each, a “Title Commitment”), together with copies of all instruments identified as exceptions therein (together with each Title Commitment, collectively, the “Title Documents”).
4.2 Survey. Prior to the Effective Date, Seller has delivered to Purchaser the most current existing survey in Seller’s possession with respect to the Land and Improvements for each of the Facilities (each, an “Existing Survey”). Purchaser may, at its sole cost and expense, order a new or updated survey before or after the Effective Date (each such new or updated survey for any Facility, together with the Existing Survey for such Facility, as applicable, is referred to collectively herein as the “Survey”).
4.3 Permitted Exceptions. Each Deed delivered with respect to each of the Facilities and the related Property pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to the following, all of which shall be deemed “Permitted Exceptions” with respect to such Facility and such related Property:
4.3.1 All matters shown in the applicable Title Documents and the applicable Surveys, other than (a) any New Exception to which Purchaser has timely objected in accordance with Section 4.5, (b) with respect to Seller or the Property (or any portion thereof) judgment liens, tax liens (except for the lien of real estate taxes not yet due and payable as of the Closing Date), broker’s liens, any mechanic’s, materialmen’s or any other monetary liens, in each case to the extent not caused by Purchaser, any of Purchaser’s Affiliates or Purchaser’s agents, representatives, consultants and/or contractors (collectively, the “Purchaser Consultants”), or (c) the standard preprinted exceptions including rights of parties in possession (which shall be modified to be limited to those parties in possession pursuant to the Resident Agreements and the Commercial Leases), and taxes and assessments (which shall be limited to taxes and assessments not yet due and payable as of the Closing Date);
4.3.2 All Resident Agreements and all Commercial Leases;
4.3.3 Applicable zoning and governmental regulations and ordinances; and
4.3.4 Any matters, defects in or objections to title to the Property, or title exceptions or encumbrances, arising by, through, under, on behalf of or due to the fault of Purchaser, Affiliates of Purchaser or Purchaser’s Consultants.
4.4 Existing Mortgages/Security Instruments. It is understood and agreed that any deed of trust and/or mortgage recorded against the Property or any portion thereof which secures any indebtedness for borrowed money and/or any related security agreement or instrument with respect to such indebtedness (each, a “Mortgage”) shall not be deemed a Permitted Exception, and shall be paid off, satisfied, discharged and/or cured either prior to Closing or from proceeds of the Purchase Price at Closing. In addition, Seller shall cause any matter described in clause (b) of Section 4.3.1 (excluding Mortgages, which are addressed in the preceding sentence) to be Removed
4
at or prior to Closing; provided, however, that if the aggregate liability (or potential liability) with respect to any matter(s) described in Section 4.3.1(b) with respect to all of the Facilities (excluding Mortgages) shall exceed one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the Purchase Price (the “Removal Cap Amount”, and any such matters giving rise to such excess amounts, the “Removal Cap Matters”), in the aggregate, Seller shall have no obligation under this Agreement with respect to any amount in excess of the Removal Cap Amount and/or the Removal Cap Matters and may refuse to Remove the Removal Cap Matters (but shall be obligated to Remove whatever matter or matters can be removed by payment of up to the Removal Cap Amount). If Seller does not Remove all matter(s) described in Section 4.3.1(b) in reliance of the terms of this Section 4.4 at or prior to the Closing, Purchaser may, as its exclusive remedy elect by delivery of written notice to Seller to either (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser, or (ii) accept all Removal Cap Matters as Permitted Exceptions and proceed with the Transactions without a reduction in the Purchase Price. The failure of Purchaser to make any such election within five (5) days after receipt of written notice of Seller’s election not to Remove all Removal Cap Matters shall be deemed an election by Purchaser of clause (ii) above.
4.5 Subsequently Disclosed Exceptions. Purchaser may order any updates, continuations of, and supplements to, any of the Title Commitments or Existing Surveys (each, a “Title Update”) at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense. Purchaser shall instruct the Title Company and any surveyor to simultaneously deliver directly to Purchaser and Seller (and their respective counsel referenced in Section 14.6 of this Agreement) copies of each Title Update (including tax and departmental searches) ordered by Purchaser or otherwise issued by the Title Company or any surveyor, and copies of all underlying documentation referenced as an exception as soon as available. If, at any time after the Effective Date but prior to the Closing, any Title Update discloses any additional item(s) (i) not caused by or the result of any act or omission or fault of Purchaser, Purchaser’s Affiliate(s) or any Purchaser Consultant, (ii) that individually or in the aggregate with any other items first reflected on any Title Update that satisfies clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 4.5, would have, or would reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse effect on the current use or value of a Facility and (iii) which are not disclosed on any version of, or update to, any of the prior Title Commitments delivered to Purchaser prior to the Effective Date (each, a “New Exception”), Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing of Purchaser’s approval or disapproval of such New Exception not later than the date that is the earlier of (i) three (3) Business Days after the date of its receipt of such Title Update and (ii) the Closing Date (the “New Exception Review Period Expiration Date”). If Purchaser fails to deliver written notice of its approval or disapproval of any New Exception prior to the New Exception Review Period Expiration Date (but in any event prior to Closing), such New Exception shall be deemed to be a Permitted Exception. If Purchaser disapproves of the New Exception prior to the New Exception Review Period Expiration Date, Seller may, in Seller’s sole discretion, notify Purchaser as to whether it is willing to attempt to Remove the New Exception (and Seller shall have the right to adjourn the Closing Date for a period of up to five (5) days in order to make such election). If Seller elects to attempt to Remove the New Exception, Seller shall be entitled to any reasonable adjournments of the Closing Date to Remove the New Exception, not to exceed thirty (30) days in the aggregate (and subject to the third sentence of Section 5.1). If Seller fails to deliver a written notice of its election to Purchaser prior to the date that is five (5) days after receipt of Seller’s written notice of disapproval of any New Exception, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to Remove the New Exception. If Seller does not elect to Remove any New Exception, is deemed to have made such an election, or Seller fails
5
to Remove any New Exception prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser may, as its exclusive remedy elect to either (i) remove from this Agreement the Facility that is subject to the New Exception, in which event the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Allocated Purchase Price for such Facility and the parties shall proceed to Closing as if such Facility and any portion of the Property relating exclusively to such Facility shall no longer be part of the Property (collectively, the “Excluded Property”), or (ii) waive its objection to the New Exception and proceed with the Transactions without a reduction in the Purchase Price, in which event Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the New Exception and such New Exception shall be a Permitted Exception. If Purchaser fails to notify Seller in writing of its election in accordance with the foregoing sentence within ten (10) days after the New Exception Review Period Expiration Date, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to approve and irrevocably waive any objections to the New Exception. Notwithstanding the forgoing provisions of this Section 4.5, if the existence of any New Exception that is not a Permitted Exception constitutes a breach by Seller of Section 7.2 of this Agreement, Purchaser shall have the rights and remedies set forth in Article X in connection with such breach, and if Purchaser consummates this Agreement, Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted any New Exception as a Permitted Exception and shall have no further rights or remedies with respect to such New Exception.
ARTICLE V

The Closing shall occur on April 30, 2015 (the “Scheduled Closing Date”) through an escrow with Escrow Agent, whereby Seller, Purchaser and their attorneys need not be physically present at the Closing and may deliver documents by overnight air courier or other means. Seller shall have the right, at its sole election, to adjourn the Closing Date one or more times for a combined aggregate of not more than thirty (30) days to Remove any New Exception as contemplated by Section 4.5 or satisfy other closing conditions (each, a “Seller Adjournment”). A Seller Adjournment may be effected by delivery by Seller of written notice to Purchaser on or prior to the then scheduled Closing Date (as the same may have been previously extended in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.1), in which case the adjourned Closing Date shall be set forth in such written notice and shall be a Business Day not less than five (5) days after the giving of such notice.

immediately prior to the Closing Date in accordance with the proration schedule agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser prior to Closing, the parties agreeing that Seller shall be responsible and charged for all of same attributable to the period up to the Closing Date (and credited for any amounts paid by Seller attributable to the period on or after the Closing Date) and Purchaser shall be responsible and charged for all of the same attributable to the period on and after the Closing Date.
5.4.2 Operating Expenses. All of the taxes (other than real estate taxes) and other expenses incurred in connection with the ownership, leasing and operation of the Property shall be prorated on an accrual basis. Seller shall pay all such expenses accruing prior to the Closing Date and Purchaser shall pay all such expenses accruing from and after the Closing Date.
5.4.3 Utilities. A proration for utilities shall be made based upon the most recently ascertainable bills.

Any real estate ad valorem or similar taxes for the Property, or any installment of assessments payable in installments which installment is payable in the calendar year of Closing, shall be prorated to the date of Closing, based upon actual days involved. The proration of real property taxes or installments of assessments shall be based upon the assessed valuation and tax rate figures for the year in which the Closing occurs to the extent the same are available; provided, however, that in the event that actual figures (whether for the assessed value of the Property or for the tax rate) for the year of Closing are not available at the Closing Date, the proration shall be made using figures from the preceding year or based on a prior installment payment for such calendar year.
5.4.6 Property Contracts. Purchaser shall assume at Closing the obligations arising from and after the Closing Date under the Assigned Contracts; however, operating expenses (including payment obligations under the Assigned Contracts) shall be prorated under Section 5.4.2.

Seller shall receive all collected rent and other collected revenues attributable to dates prior to the Closing Date.

Purchaser agrees to xxxx Residents of the Property for all Uncollected Rents and to take reasonable actions (which shall not include an obligation to commence legal action) to collect Uncollected Rents. Purchaser’s collection of rents shall be applied in the following order of priority: (i) first, in payment of rent for the month in which the Closing Date occurs, with such amounts being prorated between Purchaser and Seller based upon the number of days each owned the Property during the month in which the Closing occurs, (ii) second, to the month immediately preceding the month in which the Closing occurs, (iii) third, in payment of rent for any month which commenced after the Closing, but only to the extent payments of rents for such month are then currently due, and (iv) fourth, in payment of rents for months preceding the month in which the Closing occurs. After the Closing, Seller shall not have the right to commence legal actions or proceedings, or take any other action, to collect Uncollected Rents owed to Seller by any current Resident, provided that (a) Holiday Manager shall have the right to send bills in the ordinary course of business to current Residents for Uncollected Rents and (b) Seller shall have the right to collect Uncollected Rents with respect to any former Resident.
5.4.8 Insurance. No proration shall be made in relation to insurance premiums, and insurance policies will not be assigned to Purchaser.
5.4.9 Employees. Any wages, benefits or other payments due and owing in respect of employment or services rendered to Seller on or prior to the Closing by any Facility Employee, as applicable, shall be paid by Seller through the day immediately prior to the Closing Date (or credited to Purchaser on the Closing Date to the extent not paid by Seller as of the Closing Date). Any wages, benefits or other payments due and owing in respect of employment or services rendered following the Closing by any Facility Employee, as applicable, shall be paid by Purchaser (or its Affiliate(s)) in accordance with the Management Agreement, and any wages, benefits or other payments to Facility Employees paid by Seller prior to Closing with respect to any period commencing on or after the Closing Date, if any, shall be credited to Seller on the Closing Date.

5.4.11 Security Deposits. The amount of any security deposits held by Seller, as of the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, under the terms of any Resident Agreements, for any period on and extending beyond the Closing Date shall be a credit to the cash to be paid by Purchaser at the Closing.
5.4.12 Possession. Possession of the Property, subject to the Resident Agreements, Assigned Contracts, and Permitted Exceptions, shall be delivered to Purchaser at the Closing upon release from escrow of all items to be delivered by Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.3. Seller shall make available to Purchaser at the Property on the Closing Date (a) originals or copies of the Resident Agreements, Assigned Contracts, operating manuals and keys and access codes to the Property, and (b) to the extent reasonably available to Seller, lease files, warranties, guaranties, and Seller’s books and records (other than proprietary information) (the items covered by the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), collectively, “Seller’s Property-Related Files and Records”) exclusively relating to the Property. Purchaser agrees, for a period of not less than three (3) years after the Closing (the “Records Hold Period”), to (a) provide and allow Seller reasonable access to Seller’s Property-Related Files and Records for purposes of inspection and copying thereof, and (b) reasonably maintain and preserve Seller’s Property-Related Files and Records.

Seller shall have a period of 30 days after receipt of the Records Disposal Notice to enter the Property (or such other location where such records are then stored), at reasonable times upon reasonable notice, and to remove or copy those of Seller’s Property-Related Files and Records that Seller desires to retain.
5.5 Post-Closing Adjustments. To the extent applicable, Seller and Purchaser, acting in good faith, shall reconcile with each other within ninety (90) days of the Closing Date, the amounts prorated and adjusted in this Article V using any new or updated information, including the reconciliation of estimated amounts with actual amounts, the correction of any errors and the inclusion of any items which should have been included at the Closing. All adjustments to be made based on the mutual agreement of the parties shall be paid to the party entitled to such adjustment within thirty (30) days after the final determination thereof. In the event the parties have not agreed with respect to the adjustments required to be made pursuant to this Section 5.5 within thirty (30) days following expiration of such 90 day period, upon application by any such party, a certified
11
public accountant reasonably acceptable to the parties shall determine any such adjustments which have not theretofore been agreed to between such parties. The charges of such accountant shall be borne by the party that does not prevail in such dispute. All adjustments to be made as a result of the final results of the adjustments shall be paid to the party entitled to such adjustment within thirty (30) days after the final determination thereof.

6.2.2 The Purchase Price and the terms and conditions set forth herein are the result of arm’s-length bargaining between entities familiar with transactions of this kind, and the price, terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement reflect the fact that Purchaser is not relying upon any information provided by (or by any Person on behalf of) Seller or statements, representations or warranties, express or implied, made by (or by any Person on behalf of) Seller, including, without limitation, relating to the value of the Property, the physical or environmental condition of the Property, any state, federal, county or local law, ordinance, order or permit, or the suitability, compliance or lack of compliance of the Property with any regulation, or any other attribute or matter of or relating to the Property (except as expressly set forth in the Seller’s Representations). Without limiting Seller’s Representations, Purchaser agrees that Seller shall not be responsible or liable to Purchaser (i) for any defects, errors or omissions in the Materials or (ii) except as the result of a breach by Seller of Article VII, on account of any conditions affecting the Property.
15
6.2.3 Except as expressly set forth in the Seller’s Representations and subject to Purchaser’s rights under Article VII, Purchaser, for itself and on behalf of its successors and assigns, and anyone claiming by, through or under Purchaser, hereby fully releases each of Seller and the other Seller Indemnified Parties from, and irrevocably waives its right to maintain, any and all claims and causes of action that it or they may now have or hereafter acquire or arise against such Seller Indemnified Parties with respect to any and all Damages arising from or related to any defects, errors, omissions in the Materials or other conditions affecting the Property.
6.2.4 Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, except for the Seller Representations, no representation has been made, and no responsibility is assumed by Seller, with respect to the financial earning capacity, the continued occupancy levels of the Property, or any part thereof or, without limiting any of the foregoing, occupancy at Closing.
6.2.5 Subject to the terms of Section 7.1 hereof and Purchaser’s remedies pursuant to the terms of Section 10.2 hereof, (a) Purchaser agrees that the departure or removal, prior to Closing, of any guests, occupants or Residents shall not be the basis for, nor shall it give rise to, any claim on the part of Purchaser, nor shall it affect the obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement in any manner whatsoever, and (b) Purchaser shall close title and accept delivery of the Deeds with or without such guests, occupants or Residents in possession and without any allowance or reduction in the Purchase Price under this Agreement.
6.2.6 Purchaser acknowledges that the Property may be subject to the federal Americans With Disabilities Act (the “ADA”) and the federal Fair Housing Act (the “FHA”).

If Escrow Agent does receive such written objection within five (5) Business Days of delivery of such notice by Escrow Agent, Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such amount until otherwise directed by written instructions from the parties to this Agreement or a final judgment or arbitrator’s decision. However, Escrow Agent shall have the right at any time to deliver the Deposit and interest thereon, if any, with a court of competent jurisdiction. Escrow Agent shall give written notice of such deposit to Seller and Purchaser in accordance with Section 14.6 of this Agreement.
ARTICLE X
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
10.1 Purchaser Default. If, prior to the consummation of the Closing, Purchaser (a) defaults on its obligations hereunder to (x) deliver to Escrow Agent the deliveries as required pursuant to the terms of Section 5.3, or (y) deliver the Purchase Price in accordance with Article II and consummate the Transactions on the Closing Date, or (b) defaults in any material respect on any of its other representations, warranties or obligations under this Agreement, and such default continues until the earlier of the Closing Date and 20 days after written notice from Seller (each, a “Purchaser Default”), then, at Seller’s election and as Seller’s exclusive remedy, Seller may terminate this Agreement immediately, pursuant to which Purchaser shall forfeit the Deposit to Seller and the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Deposit to Seller as liquidated damages resulting from the Purchaser Default (the parties agreeing that (i) quantifying the amount of Seller’s losses pursuant to termination due to a Purchaser Default would be difficult to quantify, and (ii) such sum is not a penalty, but rather a reasonable measure of Seller’s damages resulting from a termination due to a Purchaser Default).
10.2 Seller Default. If, prior to the consummation of the Closing, Seller (a) defaults on its obligations hereunder to deliver to Escrow Agent the deliveries as required pursuant to the terms of Section 5.2 or to consummate the Transactions on the Closing Date, or (b) defaults in any material respect on any of its other representations, warranties or obligations under this Agreement (and, only in the case of the Seller’s Representations, the closing condition set forth in Section 8.1.2 is not satisfied), and such default continues until the earlier of the Closing Date and 20 days after
21
written notice from Purchaser (each, a “Seller Default”), then, at Purchaser’s election and as Purchaser’s exclusive remedy, Purchaser may either (i) terminate this Agreement, and the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, or (ii) subject to the conditions below, seek specific performance of Seller’s obligation to consummate the Transactions pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement (but without seeking or collecting any Damages). In the event that Purchaser terminates this Agreement pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence as a result of Seller’s knowing, intentional and willful actions, then Seller shall pay to the Purchaser an amount equal to Purchaser’s Expenses within ten (10) Business Days following such termination. Purchaser may seek specific performance of Seller’s obligation to close on the sale of the Property pursuant to this Agreement only if, as a condition precedent to initiating such litigation for specific performance, Purchaser shall (x) not otherwise be in default under this Agreement; and (y) file suit therefor with the court on or before the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date. If Purchaser fails to file an action for specific performance within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Deposit in accordance with subsection (i) above. SELLER AND PURCHASER FURTHER AGREE THAT THIS SECTION 10.2 IS INTENDED TO AND DOES LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES DUE PURCHASER AND THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO PURCHASER, AND SHALL BE PURCHASER’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST SELLER HEREUNDER AND BOTH AT LAW AND IN EQUITY, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO A BREACH BY SELLER COVERED BY THE FIRST SENTENCE OF THIS SECTION 10.2. PURCHASER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO FILE ANY LIS PENDENS OR ANY LIEN AGAINST THE PROPERTY UNLESS AND UNTIL IT HAS IRREVOCABLY ELECTED TO SEEK SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT AND HAS FILED AND IS DILIGENTLY PURSUING AN ACTION SEEKING SUCH REMEDY.
ARTICLE XI
RISK OF CASUALTY
11.1 Closing. In the event that the Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty prior to Closing, then the parties shall consummate the Transactions in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for the full Purchase Price, notwithstanding any such damage, destruction or casualty, in which case Seller and Purchaser shall, at Closing, execute and deliver an assignment and assumption (in a form reasonably and mutually agreed) of Seller’s rights and obligations with respect to the insurance claim related to such damage, destruction or casualty, and thereafter Purchaser shall receive (a) all insurance proceeds pertaining to such claim, less the sum of (i) any out-of-pocket costs incurred by Seller in pursuing or collecting such claim, plus (ii) any amounts which may already have been spent by Seller for Repairs, and (b) a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing in the amount of any deductible payable by Seller in connection therewith. Seller shall not have the right to settle any claims related to any such damage, destruction or casualty without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
11.2 Repairs. To the extent that Seller elects to commence any Repairs with respect to any damage or destruction to the Property caused by fire or other casualty prior to Closing, then Seller shall be entitled to receive and apply available insurance proceeds to any portion of such Repairs completed or installed prior to Closing. To the extent that any Repairs have been commenced
22
prior to Closing, then the Property Contracts shall include all construction and other contracts entered into by Seller in connection with such Repairs (the “Construction Contracts”). The Construction Contracts and all plans in connection with any Repairs must be approved by Purchaser, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. All Repairs undertaken by Seller pursuant to this Section 11.2 shall be performed in accordance with applicable law.
ARTICLE XII
EMINENT DOMAIN
In the event that, prior to Closing, all or any material portion of any Facility is (or previously, but after the Effective Date, has been) acquired, or is about to be acquired, by any governmental agency by the powers of eminent domain or transfer in lieu thereof (a “Taking”), or in the event that at such time there is any notice of any such acquisition or intent to acquire by any such governmental agency with respect to all or any material portion of any Facility, then the parties shall consummate the Transactions in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for the full Purchase Price and Purchaser shall have all rights to, and receive the full benefit of, any condemnation award. Seller shall not have the right to settle any claims related to a Taking without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
ARTICLE XIII
INDEMNIFICATION & SURVIVAL PROVISIONS
13.1 Effective Date; Survival. All of the Seller’s Representations and the Purchaser’s Representations are made as of the Effective Date and shall be deemed remade as of the Closing Date pursuant to, and subject to, the Bring Down Certificates of Seller and Purchaser, as applicable. All of the Seller’s Representations, Seller’s Covenants and Purchaser’s Representations shall survive Closing for a period of twelve (12) months after the Closing Date (the “Outside Claim Date”), it being agreed that none of the other covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Any claim by Seller or Purchaser with respect to any breach of the Seller’s Representations, Seller’s Covenants or the Purchaser’s Representations, respectively, shall be effective and valid only if made after Closing in writing (specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the claim and the factual and legal basis for any such claim, and the provisions of this Agreement upon which such claim is made) against the other party on or prior to the Outside Claim Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no individual claim shall be permitted hereunder with respect to any breach of the Seller’s Representations, Seller’s Covenants or the Purchaser’s Representations, unless the amount of such claim shall exceed Thirty-Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($35,000) (any such claim, a “De Minimis Claim”).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) if to Purchaser’s Knowledge, prior to the Closing, any of the Seller’s Representations is inaccurate, untrue or incorrect in any way, then, subject to Section 10.2, Purchaser shall not be permitted to make any claim and shall have no recourse, right of action or claim against Seller pursuant to this Article XIII or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, or at law or in equity, and Seller shall have no liability or obligation to Purchaser, with respect to the breach of such Seller’s Representations (provided that this clause (i) shall only apply if Purchaser shall have had the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to
23
Section 8.1), and (ii) if Purchaser has actual knowledge that any of the covenants of Seller to be performed on or before the Closing Date has not been performed prior to the Closing, and Purchaser consummates the Transactions even though Purchaser had the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 in connection with such non-performance, Purchaser will be deemed to have waived Seller’s satisfaction of any such covenants, and Purchaser shall have no recourse, right of action or claim against Seller in respect of any such breach of covenant.
Seller’s indemnification obligations under Section 13.2 with respect to Seller Indemnifiable Damages resulting from or arising out of any FCA Action shall survive Closing until sixty (60) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (the “Outside FCA Claim Date”). Any claim by Purchaser with respect to Seller Indemnifiable Damages resulting from or arising out of any FCA Action shall be effective and valid only if made in writing (specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the claim and the factual and legal basis for any such claim, and the provisions of this Agreement upon which such claim is made against Seller) on or prior to the Outside FCA Claim Date.
13.2 Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the other provisions of this Article XIII, after the Closing, Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser and its Affiliates, and their respective members, managers, partners, directors, officers, shareholders, employees and agents (hereinafter referred to individually as a “Purchaser Indemnified Party” and collectively as “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all Damages suffered by any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties (without duplication) resulting from or arising out of (i) any breach of or inaccuracy in any of the Seller’s Representations when made or deemed remade, or Seller’s Covenants or (ii) any FCA Action (collectively, “Seller Indemnifiable Damages”).
13.3 Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to the other provisions of this Article XIII, after the Closing, Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller and its Affiliates, and their respective members, managers, partners, directors, officers, shareholders, employees and agents (hereinafter referred to individually as a “Seller Indemnified Party” and collectively as “Seller Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all Damages suffered by any of the Seller Indemnified Parties (without duplication) resulting from or arising out of any breach of or inaccuracy in any of the Purchaser’s Representations when made or deemed remade (collectively, “Purchaser Indemnifiable Damages”).
13.4 Limitations on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement:
13.4.1 Subject to Section 13.4.4, in no event shall Seller be liable for, or required to make any payment pursuant to Section 13.2, for any Seller Indemnifiable Damages suffered by any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties (a) for any De Minimis Claims, and (b) unless and until the aggregate dollar amount of all such Seller Indemnifiable Damages (excluding De Minimis Claims) exceeds Four Million Three Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars and 00/100 ($4,375,000) (such amount, the “Seller Basket Amount”), and then only to the extent of such excess.
24
13.4.2 Subject to Section 13.4.4, the maximum aggregate liability of Seller in respect of all claims or rights of action against Seller for Seller Indemnifiable Damages shall be limited to, and not exceed, Twenty-Six Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars and 00/100 ($26,250,000) (the “Seller Liability Cap”).
13.4.3 Subject to Section 13.4.4, in no event shall Purchaser be liable for, or required to make any payment pursuant to Section 13.3 for any Purchaser Indemnifiable Damages suffered by the Seller Indemnified Parties (a) for any De Minimis Claims, and (b) unless and until the aggregate dollar amount of all such Purchaser Indemnifiable Damages under this Agreement (excluding De Minimis Claims) exceeds One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars and 00/100 ($1,500,000) (such amount, the “Purchaser Basket Amount” and together with the Seller Basket Amount, as applicable, the “Basket Amount”), and then only to the extent of such excess.
13.4.4 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.4, (a) under no circumstances shall the Basket Amount or the Seller Liability Cap apply to Seller Indemnifiable Damages resulting from or arising out of (i) any breaches of or inaccuracies, when made, in the Seller’s Representations set forth in Section 6.1.1, Section 6.1.2, Section 14.24.2.1 or Section 14.24.2.2 or (ii) any FCA Action, (b) under no circumstances shall the Seller Liability Cap apply to Seller Indemnifiable Damages resulting from or arising out of any breaches of or inaccuracies, when made, in the Seller’s Representations set forth in Section 6.1.14, provided the maximum aggregate liability of Seller in respect of all claims or rights of action against Seller for Seller Indemnifiable Damages shall be limited to, and not exceed, an amount equal to Seller’s Net Proceeds, and (c) under no circumstances shall the Basket Amount apply to any Purchaser Indemnifiable Damages resulting from or arising out of any breaches of or inaccuracies in the Purchaser’s Representations in Section 6.3.1 or Section 6.3.2.
13.4.5 Following the Closing, subject to the other provisions of this Article XIII, Purchaser shall look solely to the Seller and Seller Guarantor (and to none of the other Seller Indemnified Parties) with respect to any claim against Seller for a breach of or inaccuracy in any of the Seller’s Representations and Seller’s Covenants, and shall have no recourse against any Seller Indemnified Party (other than Seller and Seller Guarantor) with respect to such claims, and none of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall (or shall have the right to) seek, pursue or enter any judgment or collect (or attempt to collect) an amount in excess of the Seller Liability Cap with respect to such matters. Purchaser shall be required to notify Seller prior to the Outside Claim Date of any claim against Seller for a breach of or inaccuracy in any of the Seller’s Representations or Seller’s Covenants, and to notify Seller prior to the Outside FCA Claim Date of any claim against Seller for indemnification with respect to Seller Indemnifiable Damages resulting from or arising out of any FCA Action, in each case pursuant to Section 13.2 by the delivery of a written notice (each such notice, a “Notice of Claim” and each such claim identified therein, a “Noticed Claim”) setting forth: (i) the dollar amount of the Seller Indemnifiable Damages relating to the Noticed Claim (or a reasonable estimate of the amount of such Noticed Claim, if reasonably estimable by Purchaser); (ii) the aggregate dollar amount of all prior Seller Indemnifiable Damages pursuant to Section 13.2 of this Agreement asserted by any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties against Seller to date (or a reasonable estimate of the amount of all prior Noticed Claims, if any, if reasonably estimable); (iii) whether the Basket Amount (if applicable) has been exceeded; and (iv) the aggregate dollar amount of Seller Indemnifiable Damages paid to Purchaser or any other Purchaser
25
Indemnified Party to date. If Purchaser and Seller cannot mutually agree upon the settlement of any such Noticed Claim, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its right to pursue such Noticed Claim (and any right to collect from Seller with respect to such Noticed Claim), unless Purchaser brings a court action with respect to such Noticed Claim on or prior to the date that is thirty (30) days after the Outside Claim Date, or the Outside FCA Claim Date, as applicable.
13.5 Indemnification Procedures. The party or parties making a claim for indemnification under Section 13.2 or Section 13.3 shall be, for purposes of this Agreement, referred to as the “Indemnified Person” and the party or the parties against whom such claims are asserted under this Section 13.5 shall be, for purposes of this Agreement, referred to as the “Indemnifying Person.” All claims by any Indemnified Person under this Article XIII for Third Party Claims shall be asserted and resolved as follows:
13.5.1 In the event of any claim, demand, suit, action, arbitration, investigation, inquiry or proceeding brought by a third party against any Indemnified Person which is covered by the indemnification provisions of this Article XIII (in each such case, a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Person shall promptly cause written notice of the assertion of such Third Party Claim to be forwarded to the Indemnifying Person (a “Notice of Third Party Claim”). The failure of the Indemnified Person to deliver promptly to the Indemnifying Person a Notice of Third Party Claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the Indemnifying Person’s obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Subject to Section 13.5.2, the Indemnifying Person on behalf of the Indemnified Person shall have the right to elect to assume control of the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person. The costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Person in connection with such defense (including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, other professionals’ and experts’ fees and court or arbitration costs) shall be paid by the Indemnifying Person. In the event of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person as to any matter for which indemnification is required hereunder, the Indemnified Person may engage counsel of its own choice to participate in such defense (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Person) and at the expense of the Indemnifying Person, in the defense of any Third Party Claim.
13.5.2 With respect to the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall not be entitled to continue control of such defense and shall pay the costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with such defense if the Indemnifying Person fails to assume control of the defense or materially fails to defend such claim.
13.5.3 If the Indemnifying Person has the right to and does elect to defend any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall: (i) conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim actively and diligently and keep the Indemnified Person reasonably informed of material developments in the Third Party Claim at all stages thereof and (ii) to the extent practicable, permit the Indemnified Person and its counsel to confer with the Indemnifying Person regarding the conduct of the defense thereof. Purchaser and Seller will make available to each other and each other’s counsel and accountants, without charge, all of their and their Affiliates’ books and records relating or responsive to the Third Party Claim, and each party (at its own expense) will render to the other party such assistance as may be reasonably required in order to ensure the proper and adequate
26
defense thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by the other party in connection therewith; provided, however, the Indemnified Person shall not have an obligation to disclose any information or documents, that are proprietary, subject to confidentiality restrictions (unless the recipient of such information signs a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to the disclosing Indemnified Person), or privileged (including pursuant to any attorney-client privilege). The Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person shall render, and shall cause their respective employees to render, to each other, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Person (with costs and expenses being subject to the Seller Liability Cap, as applicable) such other assistance and cooperation as may reasonably be required to ensure the proper and adequate defense of such claim or demand.
13.5.4 If the Indemnifying Person has the right to and does elect to defend any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall have the right to enter into any settlement of a Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnified Person provided that (i) no amount in excess of the Basket Amount (if applicable) is payable by such Indemnified Person in connection with such settlement, (ii) such settlement does not involve any injunctive or other equitable relief or the contractual equivalent thereof binding upon such Indemnified Person, (iii) such settlement expressly and unconditionally releases such Indemnified Person from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such claim, with prejudice and (iv) such settlement does not include an admission of wrongdoing of or by the Indemnified Person; provided, further, that no settlement by the Indemnifying Person of a Third Party Claim shall limit or reduce the right of the Indemnified Person to indemnity hereunder for all Damages they may incur arising out of or resulting from the Third Party Claim to the extent such Indemnified Person is otherwise entitled to be indemnified pursuant to this Article XIII.
13.5.5 The amount of any Indemnifiable Damages shall be determined net of (i) the present value of any tax benefit inuring to such Indemnified Person on account of such Damages, (ii) payments recovered by such Indemnified Person under any insurance policy with respect to such Damages, and (iii) any net prior recovery by such Indemnified Person from any other third party with respect to such Damages. If the Indemnifying Person has paid the Indemnified Person pursuant to the provisions of this Article XIII with respect to a claim for which payment of the type described in clauses (ii) and (iii) of the preceding sentence is subsequently received by the Indemnified Person, the Indemnified Person will promptly pay to the Indemnifying Person the amount of such duplicative payment (net of any costs of recovery); provided, that the amount of such payment will not exceed the sums paid by the Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person in connection with the occurrence giving rise to the Indemnifiable Damages.
13.5.6 In respect of any Damages for which indemnification may be sought pursuant to this Article XIII, the Indemnified Person shall (and shall cause its Affiliates to) (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue all legal rights and remedies available in order to minimize the Damages to which it may be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement except to the extent that the Indemnified Person believes in good faith that the taking of such action would have material and adverse consequences for the Indemnified Person, and (b) select the lowest cost remedy available consistent with good business practice. The terms of Section 13.5 are not intended to modify in any manner the limitations on liability set forth in Section 13.4.
27
13.6 Tax Treatment. For all tax purposes, the parties agree to treat indemnity payments made pursuant to this Agreement as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.
13.7 Exclusive Remedy. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that following the Closing the indemnification provisions of this Article XIII shall be the exclusive rights and remedy of Purchaser (and all other Purchaser Indemnified Parties) and Seller (and all other Seller Indemnified Parties) under this Agreement (other than each party’s right to enforce the terms of Section 14.13 hereof).
13.8 Manner of Payment. Any indemnification payments made by Seller or Purchaser pursuant to this Article XIII shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts designated by the other party, within five (5) days after the final determination thereof.
13.9 Materiality. Any “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar qualifications in the Seller’s Representations and the Purchaser’s Representations shall be disregarded for purposes of (a) determining the breach or inaccuracy of the Seller’s Representations and the Purchaser’s Representations, and (ii) calculating the amount of any Indemnifiable Damages resulting from the breach or inaccuracy of the Seller’s Representations and the Purchaser’s Representations.
13.10 REIT Savings Clause. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any amount paid to any Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement in any taxable year exceed the maximum amount that can be paid in such year without causing any Purchaser Indemnified Party, or any direct or indirect owner of such Purchaser Indemnified Party, in each case which is a Real Estate Investment Trust (a “REIT”), to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code (the “REIT Requirements”) for such year, determined as if the payment of such amount did not constitute income described in Section 856(C)(2)(A)-(I) and Section 856(C)(3)(A)-(I) of the Code (“Qualifying Income”) as determined by independent accountants to Purchaser. If the maximum amount that can be paid for any taxable year under the preceding sentence is less than the amount which Seller would otherwise be obligated to pay to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to Article XIII (the amount of such deficit, the “Deficit Amount”), the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall so notify Seller, and Seller shall (at the Purchaser Indemnified Parties’ sole cost and expense) place the Deficit Amount in escrow and shall not execute any instrumentation permitting a release of any portion thereof to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, and the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to any such amount, unless and until Seller and escrow holder receive (all at the Purchaser Indemnified Parties’ sole cost and expense) notice from Purchaser, together with either (a) an opinion of Purchaser’s tax counsel to the effect that such amount, if and to the extent paid, would not constitute gross income which is not Qualifying Income, (b) a ruling from the IRS stating that the receipt by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties of the Deficit Amount would either constitute Qualifying Income or would be excluded from gross income within the meaning of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code or (c) a letter from Purchaser’s independent accountants indicating the maximum amount that can be paid at that time to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties without causing any Purchaser Indemnified Party or any direct or indirect owner of such Purchaser Indemnified Party, in each case which is a REIT, to fail to meet the REIT Requirements for any relevant taxable year, together with either a ruling from the IRS issued to Purchaser or an opinion of Purchaser’s tax counsel to the effect that such payment would not be treated as includible in the income of the applicable Purchaser Indemnified Party for any
28
prior taxable year, in which event the escrow holder shall pay such maximum amount. Seller’s and escrow holder’s obligation to pay any Deficit Amounts shall terminate ten (10) years from the date of this Agreement and, upon such date, the escrow holder shall remit any remaining funds in escrow to Seller and Seller shall have no obligation to make any further payments to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties notwithstanding that such Deficit Amounts have not been paid as of such date. For all purposes of this Agreement, (i) the Purchaser Indemnified Parties release Seller from any claims that may arise from actions taken by Seller at the request of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or their agents under this Section 13.10, and (ii) the Purchaser Indemnified Parties’ right to receive Deficit Amounts shall be limited to the amounts in escrow and Seller shall have no obligation to make any further payments to any Purchaser Indemnified Party with respect to such Deficit Amounts.
13.11 Brokerage. Seller and Purchaser each represents and warrants to the other that it has not dealt with or utilized the services of any real estate broker, investment banker, sales person or finder in connection with this Agreement, other than the services of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. LLC, in its capacity as financial advisor to Seller (“Financial Advisor”). Seller shall pay any and all fees that may be due and payable to Financial Advisor in connection with the Transactions pursuant to a separate agreement with Financial Advisor. Each party agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and, if requested in the sole and absolute discretion of the indemnitee, defend (with counsel approved by the indemnitee) the other party from and against any breach of the terms of this Section 13.11 and any Damages relating to brokerage commissions and finder’s fees arising from or attributable to the acts or omissions of the indemnifying party.
