13. Conditions Precedent to Closing

(a) Purchaser’s Conditions. Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the Transaction is subject to the following conditions, any one or all of which may be waived by Purchaser:

(i) Title and Survey Review.

(A) As of the Execution Date, (i) Purchaser has caused to be delivered to Seller title reports or commitments (the "Title Commitments") for extended coverage title insurance policies with respect to the Real Property issued by the Title Company, along with legible copies of all of the exception documents referenced therein with respect to each of the CPM Facilities and (ii) Purchaser or HC REIT has ordered a litigation, bankruptcy, judgment and security interest search in the names of the Sellers, the CPM Facilities, XL, in the case of the Hunters Xxxx Facility, and Purchaser in the case of the Grand Terrace Facility (the "Litigation and Lien Search").

(B) As of the Execution Date, Purchaser has ordered ALTA surveys with respect to any of the Real Property not covered by the Existing Surveys (the "New Surveys"), which are being prepared by surveyors acceptable to Purchaser (the "Surveyors") and Purchaser has requested that the Existing Surveys be recertified to Purchaser, HC REIT and the Title Company (the "Recertified Surveys" and together with the New Surveys, the "Surveys"), with, in each case, the intent of the parties being that at Closing Purchaser will receive ALTA Surveys which are sufficient to cause the Title Company to issue the Title Policies (as defined below) without the survey exception (the "Surveys"). The New Surveys shall be certified to the Purchaser, Sellers, the Title Company and HC REIT and, upon completion thereof, Purchaser shall cause the New Surveys and the Recertified Surveys to be delivered by the Surveyors to Purchaser, Sellers, the Title Company and HC REIT.

(C) Prior to Closing, in the case of any of the CPM Facilities which are subject to an anticipated September 30, 2004 Closing, and within five (5) business days, in the case of any of the CPM Facilities which are subject to an anticipated Closing subsequent to September 30, 2004,

Exhibit 10.83.4

after Purchaser’s receipt of the last of the Title Commitment (including legible copies of all of the exception documents referenced therein), the results of the Litigation and Lien Search and the Survey with respect to a CPM Facility, Purchaser shall advise the applicable Seller in writing on a CPM Facility by CPM Facility basis of its objections, if any, to the matters reflected therein (a "Title and Survey Objection Letter").

(D) Prior to Closing, in the case of any of the CPM Facilities which are subject to an anticipated September 30, 2004 Closing, and within five (5) business days after the applicable Seller’s receipt of the Title and Survey Objection Letter related to the CPM Facility owned by it, in the case of any of the CPM Facilities which are subject to an anticipated Closing subsequent to March 31, 2004, such Seller shall specify by written notice delivered to Purchaser which of the objections described therein it will correct at or prior to the Closing Date and which of such objections it is unable or elects not to correct at or prior to the Closing Date (the "Seller Title and Survey Response Notice"). If any Seller fails to deliver a Seller Title and Survey Response Notice prior to Closing or within the applicable five (5) day period, as applicable, such Sellers shall be deemed to have elected not to correct any of the matters to which Purchaser objected in the applicable Title and Survey Objection Letter. If a Seller elects or is deemed to have elected not to correct some or all of the matters objected to in the applicable Title and Survey Objection Letter, Purchaser shall have until Closing, in the case of any of the CPM Facilities which are subject to an anticipated September 30, 2004 Closing, or within five (5) days after the receipt of a Seller Title and Survey Response Notice or after the date by which the Seller Title and Survey Response Notice was due in accordance with the terms hereof , in the case of any of the CPM Facilities which are subject to an anticipated Closing subsequent to September 30, 2004, in which to advise the applicable Seller of its decision to close, notwithstanding the defects which such Seller is unable, or has elected not, to correct, or of its election to terminate this Agreement either in its entirety or solely as to the affected CPM Facility(ies). In the event Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement as a result of the existence of title, survey or defects which a Seller elects not, or is unable, to correct by Closing, neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder.

(E) Any matter reflected on the Title Commitments or in the results of the Litigation and Lien Search or on the Surveys and not objected to by Purchaser or as to which Purchaser waives its objections in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be deemed accepted by Purchaser and shall for purposes hereof be deemed to be the "Permitted Exceptions."

(F) At Closing, Sellers shall cause the Title Company to issue one or more extended coverage title insurance policies to Purchaser or HC REIT insuring Purchaser’s or HC REIT’s title to the Real Property as of the Closing Date subject to no exceptions other than the Permitted Exceptions in an aggregate amount equal to the Purchase Price (unless a higher amount of title insurance has been specified by Purchaser and the additional premium attributable to such higher amount has been deposited by Purchaser with the Title Company, as escrow agent, at or prior to Closing) (the "Owner’s Title Policies").

(G) At Closing, the Surveyors shall issue to Purchaser the Surveys of the Real Property revised to reflect any objections included in the Title and Survey Objection Letters which

Exhibit 10.83.4

Sellers agree to correct in accordance with the terms hereof and certified in the manner specified herein.

(ii) Asbestos and Environmental Report. As of the Execution Date, Purchaser has ordered from duly licensed environmental inspection companies reports with respect to the CPM Facilities indicating (A) the presence (or absence) of asbestos in each of the CPM Facilities, the level thereof, whether it is friable or non-friable, if it is friable the recommended steps to correct the problem and the anticipated cost thereof and (B) the results of a Phase I Assessment of the Real Property and the CPM Facilities (the "Asbestos and Environmental Reports"). Prior to Closing, in the case of any of the CPM Facilities which are subject to an anticipated September 30, 2004 Closing and within five (5) business days, in the case of any of the CPM Facilities which are subject to an anticipated Closing subsequent to September 30, 2004, after Purchaser’s receipt of the Asbestos and Environmental Reports (the "Environmental Review Period") Purchaser shall approve or disapprove each of the Asbestos and Environmental Reports in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion. Should Purchaser disapprove the Asbestos and Environmental Reports, it shall notify the applicable Seller in writing of such disapproval and the reasons therefor at or prior to the expiration of the Environmental Review Period (the "Environmental Notice"). If any Seller advises Purchaser prior to Closing, in the case of any of the CPM Facilities which are subject to an anticipated September 30, 2004 Closing, or within five (5) business days, in the case of any of the CPM Facilities which are subject to an anticipated Closing subsequent to September 30, 2004, after their receipt of Purchaser’s Environmental Notice that such Sellers is unwilling or unable to remedy all such objections prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall have until Closing, in the case of any of the CPM Facilities which are subject to an anticipated Closing on September 30, 2004, or (2) business days thereafter, in the case of any of the CPM Facilities which are subject to an anticipated Closing subsequent to September 30, 2004, in which to advise the applicable Seller in writing of its election either to waive the matters to which it has objected and which Sellers are unwilling or unable to remedy or to terminate this Agreement either in its entirety or solely as to the affected CPM Facility(ies). Seller’s failure to respond to the Environmental Notice by Closing or within such five (5) business day period, as applicable, shall be deemed to be Seller’s notice to Purchaser that it is unable or unwilling to remedy the objections set forth in the Environmental Notice.

(iii) Due Diligence Review. Purchaser shall be satisfied with the results of the Due Diligence Review; provided, however, if Purchaser is not satisfied with the results of its Due Diligence Review, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement either in its entirety or solely as to the affected CPM Facility(ies).

(iv) Regulatory Approval; Licensing. Either (i) the approval of the Transaction by the appropriate regulatory and licensing authorities and agencies of the states where each of the CPM Facilities is located, including receipt by Purchaser of all consents, approvals, licenses and certificates as may be necessary for Purchaser lawfully to own and operate the CPM Facilities or (ii) the execution and delivery by the applicable Seller of the Interim Sublease and Management Agreement Amendment or the Interim Hunters Xxxx Management Agreement with respect to any CPM Facility for which Purchaser does not hold a license in its own name as of the Closing Date.

(v) Damage and Condemnation. Prior to the Closing Date, the risk of physical loss to the CPM Assets shall be borne by Sellers. Accordingly, it shall be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation hereunder that prior to the Closing Date, no material portion of any of the CPM Facilities nor any material portion of any of the CPM Assets shall have been damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, or shall have been taken or condemned by any public or quasi-public authority under the power of eminent domain, in any such case to an extent which causes the affected CPM Facility(ies) to lose use of any of its licensed beds/units or to become impracticable to operate as of the Closing Date or the postponement thereof, if applicable. If the CPM Assets shall have been so damaged or destroyed and Purchaser waives this condition, the applicable Seller shall assign to Purchaser all of its rights to any insurance proceeds in the connection therewith and the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to the CPM Facilities shall be reduced by any deductible which Purchaser shall be required to pay in connection with such damage or destruction or by any uninsured costs of repair or reconstruction. If the CPM Assets shall be so taken or condemned prior to Closing, and if Purchaser waives this condition, Sellers shall pay or assign to Purchaser all Sellers’ right to the proceeds of any condemnation award in connection thereof and the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to the CPM Facilities shall be reduced by such amount as may be agreed upon by the applicable Seller and Purchaser as a reasonable estimate of the amount by which the cost to repair the portion of the CPM Assets affected by such taking exceeds such condemnation award; provided, however, if the applicable Seller and Purchaser are unable to so agree by the Closing, then Purchaser may exercise its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the immediately following sentence. Purchaser may, however, in lieu of closing, elect to exercise its rights under Paragraph 15(a) (iii) with respect to the affected CPM Facility or Facilities if a material portion of the CPM Assets is damaged, destroyed or taken prior to the Closing Date but such election shall not affect Purchaser’s obligation to purchase, or Sellers’ obligation to sell, the remainder of the CPM Assets in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the AL Facilities in accordance with the terms of the AL Master Agreement.

(vi) No Defaults. Sellers shall not be in default under any mortgage, contract, lease or other agreement affecting or relating to the CPM Assets including, but not limited to, the documents evidencing or securing the Existing Financing. provided, however, if such a default exists, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement either in its entirety or solely as to the affected CPM Facility(ies)

Each Seller shall have performed all of its obligations under this Agreement that are to be performed prior to or at Closing to the extent the same have not been waived by Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof; provided, however, if Seller has not performed its obligations under this Agreement, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement either in its entirety or solely as to the affected CPM Facility(ies).

(viii) Sellers’ Representations and Warranties. Sellers’ representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or document delivered in connection with this Agreement or the Transaction contemplated herein shall be true in all material respects at and as of

Exhibit 10.83.4

the date of Closing as though such representations and warranties were then again made; provided, however, if Seller’s representations and warranties are not materially true at Closing, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement either in its entirety or solely as to the affected CPM Facility(ies).

(ix) No Material Adverse Change. There shall be no material adverse change in the financial or physical condition or results of operations of any of the CPM Facilities unless Sellers are able to demonstrate that such change is due to a breach by Purchaser of its obligations under the Lease and Management Agreements.

(x) Board Approval. Purchaser shall have secured the approval of the Transaction by its Board of Directors.

(xi) The Existing Financing. In the case of the CPM Facilities secured by the Existing Financing, HC REIT shall have secured the consent of the lender to the assumption of the Existing Financing.

For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that as of the Closing, any of the foregoing conditions to Closing have been satisfied as to some, but not all, of the Facilities, Purchaser shall have the right to either (A) waive the condition(s) which has not been satisfied and proceed with the Closing or (B) terminate this Agreement in its entirety or (C) terminate this Agreement solely as to the CPM Facilities with respect to which the condition(s) to Closing has not been satisfied. Further, any right which Purchaser may have to terminate the AL Master Agreement or its obligation to purchase any or all of the AL Facilities shall be governed by the AL Master Agreement which is incorporated herein by this reference.
