$24.00 per share, or be less than $22.00 per share. In the event that the
Closing Price exceeds $24.00 per share, then the Net Contribution Value
shall be divided by 24 to determine the number of OP Units to be issued and
delivered. In the event that the Closing Price is less than $22.00 per
share, then the Net Contribution Value shall be divided by 22 to determine
the number of OP Units to be issued and delivered. The Net Contribution
Value (including the Net Closing Adjustments, and the OP Units) shall be
allocated among the Affiliated Partnerships in accordance with Schedule 4
attached hereto.
3. OP UNITS. (a) Distributions with respect to the OP Units
will be identical in amount and timing to the dividends on HME Common
Shares, except that the initial distribution payable with respect to the OP
Units issued to the Affiliated Partnerships shall be made on the date on
which HME shall pay the dividend to holders of HME Common Shares that
relates to the earnings for the calendar quarter in which the OP Units were
issued to the Affiliated Partnerships, and shall be prorated such that the
Affiliated Partnerships will receive a pro-rata
-6-
distribution for the period from the date on which the OP Units were issued
to the Affiliated Partnerships to, and including, the last day of the
calendar quarter in which the OP Units were so issued.

Partnership of the operating Partnership, as amended (the "0PERATING

the Affiliated Partnerships shall have all of the transfer, exchange and
conversion rights with regard to the OP Units as are set forth in the

matter, in each case to the satisfaction of the Operating Partnership. If,
within the Correction Period, the Affiliated Partnerships fail to have each
such unpermitted exception removed, or to correct each such other matter as
aforesaid, the operating Partnership may, at its option, and as the sole
and exclusive remedy of the Operating Partnership, either (i) terminate

force or effect between the parties; or

20. BROKER'S COMMISSION. The Affiliated Partnerships and the
Operating Partnership each represent to the other than the transaction
described in this Agreement was not brought about or assisted in any way by
any broker, firm or salesman, or other person or persons acting or
functioning as, or in a role similar to a broker (any such broker, firm or
salesman, or other person, is herein referred to as a "BROKER"), except the
Xxxxx Organization, to whom, pursuant to separate agreement, the Affiliated
Partnerships shall pay a real estate brokerage commission of $605,000, at
the time of, and in conjunction with the Closing of the transaction under
this Agreement. The Affiliated Partnerships agree that should any claim be
made for a commission or other compensation with regard to this transaction
by any broker, other than a broker engaged in writing by the Operating
Partnership, or HME, the Affiliated Partnerships shall have the sole
responsibility for paying any such claim, and shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Operating Partnership, and HME,
-36-
from and against any such claim of any broker, and all liabilities and
expenses in connection therewith, including court costs and attorneys, fees
and expenses.
21. XXXXXXX MONEY. Concurrently with the execution of this
Agreement by both the Operating Partnership and the Affiliated
Partnerships, the Operating Partnership will deposit $100,000 in cash (the
"XXXXXXX MONEY DEPOSIT") with the Title Company, as Escrow Trustee, to be
held in an interest bearing account, at an insured institution acceptable
to the Operating Partnership pursuant to the terms of an Escrow Agreement
in the form of Exhibit "G" attached hereto. At Closing, the Xxxxxxx Money
Deposit, shall be returned to the Operating Partnership, and shall not be
applied to the Net Contribution Value payable for the Properties. If this
Agreement shall not have been terminated by the Operating Partnership, the
Xxxxxxx Money Deposit shall be refundable to the Operating Partnership in
the event only that the Affiliated Partnerships default, or are unable to
close for any reason. In the event the Operating Partnership does not
close for any reason other than as a result of the permitted termination of
this Agreement by the Operating Partnership, or the default of the
Affiliated Partnerships, or the inability of the Affiliated Partnerships to
close, the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit, shall be paid to the Affiliated
Partnerships. As used anywhere in this Agreement, the term "XXXXXXX MONEY
DEPOSIT" includes all earnings thereon, if any.
22. COOPERATION. At all times during the term and pendency of
this Agreement, the Affiliated Partnerships will cooperate fully with the
Operating Partnership in providing books, records and other documentation
for review, including, without limitation, all Leases and related
documents, working drawings, plans and specifications, surveys, appraisals,
engineer's reports, environmental reports, insurance policies, service
contracts, real estate tax receipts, copies of tax returns filed by the
Affiliated Partnerships, and annual and monthly operating statements
relating to the Properties, and in the possession of, or reasonably
available to the Affiliated Partnerships. The Affiliated Partnerships will
provide access to each Property for all physical inspections required by
the Operating Partnership. The Affiliated Partnerships will provide access
by the representatives of the Operating Partnership to all financial and
other information relating to the Properties as is sufficient to enable
such representatives to prepare audited financial statements, at the
expense of the Operating Partnership, in conformity with Regulation S-X of
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "COMMISSION"), and any
registration statement, report or disclosure statement required to be filed
with the Commission.
-37-
23. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. (a) If the Affiliated Partnerships
fail or refuse to perform in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
including, without limitation, the failure or refusal to perform any
covenant or obligation on the part of the Affiliated Partnerships to
perform, prior to the Closing, or if any of the representations, warranties
and covenants of the Affiliated Partnerships contained in this Agreement
shall not be true, complete and correct at Closing, the Operating
Partnership may terminate this Agreement, in which event the Xxxxxxx Money
Deposit shall be returned to the Operating Partnership, and the Operating
Partnership shall, in addition, be entitled to reimbursement by the
Affiliated Partnerships of the actual out-of-pocket due diligence costs
incurred by the Operating Partnership in connection with proposed
acquisition of the Properties, up to the sum of $100,000 (after the payment
of which, this Agreement shall be deemed null, void, and of no further
force or effect between the parties).
(b) If the Operating Partnership fails or refuses to
perform in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Xxxxxxx Money
Deposit shall be forfeited to the Affiliated Partnerships as liquidated
damages (which shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Affiliated
Partnerships against the Operating Partnership), at which time this
Agreement shall be deemed to be null, void and of no further force or
effect between the parties. In that regard, the Affiliated Partnerships
acknowledge and agree that (i) the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit is a reasonable
estimate of, and bears a reasonable relationship to, the damages suffered
and costs incurred by the Affiliated Partnerships as a result of having
subjected the Properties to the terms of this Agreement; (ii) the actual
damages suffered and costs incurred by the Affiliated Partnerships as a
result of such failure of the Operating Partnership to close under this
Agreement would be extremely difficult and impractical to determine;
(iii) the Operating Partnership seeks to limit its liability under this
Agreement to the amount of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit in the event this
Agreement is terminated and the transaction contemplated by this Agreement
does not close due to a default of the Operating Partnership under this
Agreement; and (iv) the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit shall be and constitute valid
liquidated damages.
24. OTHER PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES. (a) During the term and
pendency of this Agreement, the Affiliated Partnerships will cease to
market the Xxxxxx/Lewiston Portfolio, or any Property, and, in that regard,
the Affiliated Partnerships will refrain from soliciting or accepting any
offer from any third party, or, except in the case of the restructuring of
the Xxxxxx Loan, and in conjunction with the Operating Partnership,
engaging in any discussion with any third party concerning the sale,
refinancing or recapitalization of the Xxxxxx/Lewiston Portfolio, or any
Property.
-38-
(b) Both the Operating Partnership and the Affiliated
Partnerships agree to keep this Agreement confidential, and not to disclose
its contents to anyone except their respective lenders, legal counsel and
accountants, except that HME may make such public announcement regarding
the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, as may, in its judgment, be
required by, or appropriate under, applicable securities laws.
25. RISK OF LOSS. Until the Closing, the risk of loss or damage
to all or any part of any Property, from fire or other casualty, or from
condemnation, shall be borne by the Affiliated Partnerships, subject to the
terms of this Agreement.
26. NOTICES. (a) all notices, demands, or requests made and/or
given pursuant to, under, or by virtue of this Agreement must be in writing
and sent to the party to which the notice, demand or request is being made
and/or given, by postage prepaid, certified or registered mail, return

00000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx

000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000

have been rendered or given on the date of receipt, in the case of delivery
by courier service or personal delivery, or three (3) business days after
mailing.
27. ASSIGNMENT. Neither this Agreement nor any interest
hereunder shall be assigned or transferred by any of the Affiliated
Partnerships. Neither this Agreement nor any interest hereunder shall be
assigned or transferred by the Operating Partnership.
28. GOVERNING LAW. The corporate laws of the State of Maryland
will govern all questions concerning the relative rights and obligations of
the parties with respect to any HME Common Shares acquired or acquirable by
the holders of OP Units on account of their OP Units. Except as limited by
the Voting
-39-
Agreement, and the Operating Partnership Agreement, the laws of the State
of New York will govern all other questions concerning the relative rights
and obligations of the holders of OP Units as limited partners in the
Operating Partnership, or otherwise with respect to the OP Units. This
Agreement shall, otherwise, be governed, construed and interpreted in
accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan applicable to contracts
made and to be performed wholly within the State of Michigan without giving
effect to the conflicts-of-laws principles thereof.
29. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement contains, or incorporates,
all of the terms agreed upon between the parties with respect to the
subject matter, and supersedes any and all prior written or oral
understandings.
30. AMENDMENT. This Agreement may not be modified or amended
except in, and by, a written instrument executed by the parties hereto.
31. WAIVER. No waiver by either party of any failure or refusal
of the other party to comply with any of the obligations of such party
hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of any other or subsequent failure or
refusal so to comply.
32. ARTICLE HEADINGS. The headings of the various sections of
this Agreement have been inserted only for purposes of convenience, and are
not part of this Agreement, and shall not be deemed in any manner to
modify, explain, qualify or restrict any of the provisions of this
Agreement.
33. MISCELLANEOUS. (a) Upon reasonable notice and during
business hours between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, the
Operating Partnership, and agents and representatives of the Operating
Partnership, shall have the right to enter upon any Property for the
purpose of examining, inspecting and testing such Property.
(b) The Affiliated Partnerships acknowledge that audited
financial statements pertaining to the Properties for a minimum of one, and
a maximum of three, prior calendar year(s) of operation, and the portion of
the calendar year in which the Closing occurs, up to the Closing Date, are
required to be filed by the Operating Partnership with the Securities and
Exchange Commission after the Closing. Accordingly, the Affiliated
Partnerships agree to provide the Operating Partnership, and its
representatives, with access to the books and records of the Affiliated
Partnerships pertaining to the Properties after the Closing, upon
reasonable advance notice, in order to conduct the required audit, at the
expense of the Operating Partnership. Each Partnership will provide a
signed Representation Letter, in the form of Exhibit "I" attached hereto,
with respect to the Property, owned by such Partnership.
-39-
(c) Time is of the essence of this Agreement. In the
computation of any period of time provided for in this Agreement, or by
law, the day of the act or event from which the period of time runs shall
be excluded, and the last day of such period shall be included, unless it
is a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, in which case the period shall be
deemed to run until the end of the next day which is not a Saturday,
Sunday, or legal holiday.
(d) Within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date, each
Partnership shall provide the operating Partnership with a schedule showing
(i) that Partnership's share of the principal balance of the Xxxxxx Loan as
of the Closing Date, which allocation will be consistent with the
allocation set forth on Schedule 4 attached hereto, and (ii) the net book
value of the Property or Properties and the Personal Property owned by that
Partnership as of the Closing Date. The information on the schedule shall

written.
