In the event Buyer shall so notify Seller of any Title Objections, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such Title Objections, other than mortgages or liens voluntarily created by Seller that can be satisfied by payment of a liquidated amount, which Seller agrees that it shall either pay, discharge or, if it is contesting such lien, make arrangement with the Title Company to insure over such matters (at normal rates) without such objection as an exception in Buyer’s Title Policy. In the event there are any Title Objections that Seller is not obligated to cure, then within three (3) days after receipt of Buyer’s notice thereof, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing whether Seller elects to attempt to cure such Title Objections. Failure of Seller to give such notice shall be deemed an election by Seller not to cure such Title Objections.

In the event that Buyer fails to notify Seller as to whether it is making an election under clause (I) or clause (II) above, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (II) above. Buyer may, prior to Closing, notify Seller in writing of any objections to title or the New Survey with respect to new title matters not previously disclosed of which Buyer first becomes aware after its initial review of and response to title matters (“Subsequent Title Matters”).

(e) Cost of Employee Insurance Benefits for Hired Employees. In the event that the Closing occurs on any day other than the first calendar day of a month, Seller shall cause Existing Manager to fund the cost of benefits to those Community Employees to whom Buyer offers employment in accordance with this Agreement and who accept such offer of employment (“Hired Employees”) for the entire calendar month in which the Closing occurs (collectively, the “Hired Employee Closing-Month Insurance Benefits”), and Buyer shall provide a credit to Seller at Closing in an amount equal to the aggregate cost of such Hired Employee Closing-Month Insurance Benefits prorated based on the day of such month that the Closing occurs.

Amounts payable under the Assigned Service Contracts, annual or periodic permit and/or inspection fees (calculated on the basis of the period covered), and liability for other Property operation and maintenance expenses and other recurring costs and any other revenues attributable to the Property (such as, by way of example and without limitation, reimbursements received from any source relating to expenditures incurred prior to the Closing relating to the Property) shall be apportioned as of the Closing Date.

Accordingly, there will be no prorations for debt service, insurance or utilities. In the event a meter reading is unavailable for any particular utility, such utility shall be prorated in the manner provided in Section 8(c) above.
(i) Post-Closing Reconciliation. If any of the aforesaid prorations cannot be definitely calculated on the Closing Date, then they shall be estimated at the Closing and definitely calculated as soon after the Closing Date as feasible. As soon as the necessary information is available, Buyer and Seller shall conduct a post-Closing review to determine the accuracy of all prorations. Either party owing the other party a sum of money based on such subsequent proration(s) or post-Closing review shall promptly pay said sum to the other party, together with interest thereon at the lesser of eight percent (8%) or the maximum rate allowed by law, from the date of demand to the date of payment if payment is not made within thirty (30) days after delivery of a written demand therefor, together with documentation to support such demand.

20
disclosed in a Change Notice, then (A) Seller shall promptly commence such cure and diligently prosecute such cure to completion, (B) provided that the Changed Circumstance is cured to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and (C) the Closing shall take place on the date set therefor, or as soon thereafter as Seller is reasonably able to complete such cure; provided, however, that the Closing shall not be delayed more than fifteen (15) days to allow Seller to complete such cure.

21
be of any force or effect.

10. Remedies.
(a) Remedies for Buyer’s Breach. In the event that the sale of the Property is not consummated because of a default under or breach of this Agreement by Buyer, Buyer and Seller agree that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to fix the actual damage to Seller. Buyer and Seller therefore agree that, if Buyer fails to consummate the purchase of the Property as herein provided because of Buyer’s breach or default, the amount of the Deposit is a reasonable estimate of Seller’s damages and that Seller shall be entitled to said sum as liquidated damages (and not as a penalty), which shall be Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy, either at law or in equity. In such event, the Title Company shall, upon written demand by Seller without joinder of Buyer, immediately deliver the Deposit to Seller in cash or other immediately available funds. The foregoing does not limit Buyer’s liability under Section 21(l) of this Agreement or under any indemnity or other provision of this Agreement that, by its terms, survives a termination of this Agreement or is to be performed after Closing.
(b) Remedies for Seller’s Breach. In the event the sale of the Property is not consummated because of default under or breach of this Agreement on the part of Seller, Buyer shall have the option, as its sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity, to either (i) terminate this Agreement by delivery of written notice of termination to Seller, whereupon Buyer and Seller shall each be released from all liability hereunder (except for those provisions which recite that they survive termination), the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and Seller shall reimburse Buyer for all of Buyer’s reasonable, accountable, third-party due diligence costs, evidenced by third-party invoices, such reimbursement not to exceed Eighty Thousand Dollars ($80,000) or (ii) continue this Agreement and seek the equitable remedy of specific performance. The provisions of this Section 10(b) to the contrary notwithstanding, if Buyer elects to pursue the equitable remedy of specific performance and in any such action for specific performance, the court rules that the remedy of specific performance is not available to Buyer, then Buyer may avail itself of the rights and remedies available under this Section 10(b)(i) and the running of any and all statutes of limitation, statutes of repose, passage of time relating to laches and other statutes, rules, doctrines or principles which impose any time limits for commencing any suit, action, arbitration, mediation or other proceeding on account of such breach or default by Seller shall be suspended and tolled while Buyer is pursuing any such action for specific performance. The foregoing does not limit Seller’s liability under Section 22(l) of this Agreement or under any indemnity or other provision of this Agreement that, by its terms, survives a termination of this Agreement or is to be performed after Closing
11. Buyer’s Obligations Pending Closing. Buyer shall not attempt to terminate, supplement, amend or modify in any way any of the Resident Agreements, Service Contracts or other documents affecting the Property prior to the Closing. In addition, Buyer shall not file or cause to be filed any application or request with any governmental or quasi-governmental agency
25
prior to Closing which would or could lead to a hearing before any governmental or quasi-governmental agency or which would or could lead to any change in zoning, parcelization, licenses, permits or other entitlements or any other investigation or restriction on the use of the Property, or any part thereof.
12. Seller’s Obligations Pending Closing.
(a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 13 and 14 hereof, and except to the extent that such maintenance is the obligation of a Tenant under a Lease or of a Resident under a Resident Agreement, until Closing, Seller shall maintain the Real Property in substantially the same condition existing on the Effective Date, normal wear and tear excepted, and Seller shall continue to operate the Property in the manner operated as of the Effective Date.
(b) From the Effective Date through the Closing Date, Seller shall maintain insurance coverage with respect to the Property, and with respect to damage or injury to persons or property occurring on the Real Property, with the same coverages and in at least the same amounts as Seller maintains as of the Effective Date.
(c) From the expiration of the Due Diligence Period through the Closing Date, without Buyer’s written consent, Seller will not (A) subject the Property to any liens, security interests, easements or other encumbrances other than in the ordinary course of business, (B) amend, or waive any material right under, any Resident Agreement or Assigned Service Contract, (C) enter into any new Resident Agreement with a first-time resident that is for a period longer than one (1) year or provides for an effective rental rate that is, in Seller’s business judgment, less than the then-current market rate, (D) enter into any new Lease or extend any current Lease, (E) enter into any new Service Contract unless terminable upon no more than thirty (30) days notice and without penalty, or (F) fail to perform, in all material respects, its obligations under the Resident Agreements, Leases and Assigned Service Contracts.
(d) From the expiration of the Due Diligence Period through the Closing Date, Seller will provide Buyer with a copy of any written notice that Buyer receives alleging a material Seller default under any Resident Agreement, Lease or Assigned Service Contract.
13. Damage or Destruction.
(a) As used herein, the term “Major Casualty” shall mean any damage or destruction of any of the Improvements with respect to which (i) the cost to repair such damage or destruction is reasonably estimated by Seller to exceed Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000.00), or (ii) a contractor mutually appointed by Seller and Buyer reasonably estimates that the time needed to repair such damage or destruction would extend more than sixty (60) days beyond the then-scheduled Closing Date.
(b) In the event of a Major Casualty, Seller shall give prompt written notice to Buyer of Seller’s election whether or not to repair such Major Casualty. If Seller elects not to repair such Major Casualty, within five (5) business days after Buyer’s receipt of such written notice from Seller, Buyer may elect to either (i) terminate this Agreement, or (ii) continue this
26
Agreement in full force and effect, in which case Seller shall assign to Buyer at Closing any and all proceeds and/or claims under any applicable insurance coverage (and credit Buyer at Closing for the amount of any associated deductibles), and Buyer shall take title to the Property subject to such damage and destruction. If Buyer fails to deliver written notice to Seller of Buyer’s election within said five (5) business days, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected alternative (ii) above. If Buyer properly delivers written notice to Seller within such five (5) business days electing alternative (i) above, or if alternative (i) is deemed to have been elected, then the Escrow shall be canceled, this Agreement shall be terminated, all parties hereto shall be released from further performance of this Agreement (with the exception of those Sections or subsections which recite that they survive termination of this Agreement), and Title Company shall return to Buyer all or any portion of the Deposit deposited with Title Company and shall return to each party any and all documents which such party had deposited with it.
(c) In the event of any damage or destruction of any of the Improvements which is not a Major Casualty, Buyer shall have no right to terminate this Agreement, Seller shall assign to Buyer at Closing any and all proceeds and/or claims under any applicable insurance coverage (and credit Buyer at Closing for the amount of any associated deductibles), and Buyer shall take title to the Property subject to such damage and destruction.
(d) In the event that Seller elects to repair a Major Casualty, (i) Seller shall promptly commence such repair and diligently prosecute such repair to completion to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction, (ii) this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and (iii) the Closing shall take place on the date set forth in this Agreement, or as soon thereafter as such repair work has been completed (not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days without Buyer’s consent, which Buyer shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay), without credit to Buyer against the Purchase Price relating to such Major Casualty which has been so repaired.
(e) The provisions of this Section 13 shall survive the Closing.
14. Eminent Domain. If, at any time prior to the Closing, legal proceedings under power of eminent domain are commenced or Seller has received from a governmental authority a written notice that threatens to commence such proceedings, with respect to all or any portion of the Property, then by delivery to Seller of written notice of election within five (5) business days after receipt of written notice of such pending condemnation, Buyer may elect to either (a) terminate this Agreement, or (b) elect to continue this Agreement in full force and effect and Seller shall assign to Buyer at the Closing any and all proceeds and/or claims on account of such condemnation proceedings, and Buyer shall take title to the Property subject to such condemnation proceedings. If Buyer fails to deliver written notice to Seller of Buyer’s election within the time period specified in this Section, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected alternative (b) above. If Buyer properly delivers written notice to Seller within the time period specified in this Section 14 electing alternative (a) above or is deemed to have elected alternative (a) above, the Escrow shall be canceled, this Agreement shall be terminated, all parties hereto shall be released from further performance of this Agreement, with the exception of those Sections (including this Section 14) or subsections which recite that they survive termination of this Agreement, and Title Company shall return to Buyer all or any portion of the Deposit
27
deposited with Title Company and shall return to each party any and all documents which such party had deposited with it. The provisions of this Section 14 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
15. Post-Closing Obligations Regarding Community Employees.
(a) Buyer has no obligation to hire any Community Employees.
(b) Upon the Closing, Buyer may offer employment to any of the Community Employees as Buyer so determines in its sole discretion.
(c) The parties do not believe that the provisions of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (the “WARN Act”) or any comparable state law apply to the Transactions. As between Seller and Buyer, Buyer shall only be liable for its own acts or omissions after the Closing Date. Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer from any loss, liabilities, debt, costs (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees) or any other amounts that Buyer may incur due to “employment losses” (as defined in the WARN Act or any comparable state law) that occur prior to or upon the Closing; provided, however, Seller shall have no liability for “employment losses” that occur as a result of the termination of employees by Buyer after the Closing.
(d) To Seller’s Actual Knowledge, Schedule 15(d) lists each Existing Manager Employee Benefit Plan in which any Community Employee participates. Neither Seller nor to Seller’s Actual Knowledge, Existing Manager, has received any notice from a governmental authority that any such Plan is not in compliance in all material respects with its terms and with applicable laws and regulations. Within the six (6) years preceding the Closing Date, neither Seller nor to Seller’s Actual Knowledge, Existing Manager (nor any ERISA Affiliate of Seller or Existing Manager) has been a party to, or made any contributions to, any “multiemployer plan” within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA, or any plan subject to Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code. “Existing Manager’s Employee Benefit Plan” means any employee benefit plan, as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA. “ERISA” means the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. “ERISA Affiliate” means any person and/or such person’s subsidiaries or affiliates that is treated as a single employer with such person or such person’s subsidiaries or affiliates under Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code or Section 4001(b)(1) of ERISA.
(e) Seller and/or Existing Manager shall remain responsible for all, and Seller acknowledges that neither Buyer nor new property manager engaged by Buyer for the Community shall have responsibility for any, liabilities or obligations arising prior to the Closing Date with respect to Hired Employees.
(f) Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, (i) from and after the Effective Date, Buyer shall have the right to meet with the Community’s acting Executive Director at a reasonable time or times to discuss the Community and its operations, (ii) from and after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall have the right to meet with the Community’s acting Executive Director to discuss employment arrangements or an offer of
28
employment, and (iii) from and after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall have the right to meet with the Community’s marketing/sales director and maintenance director at a reasonable time or times to discuss the Community and its operations and employment arrangements or offers of employment.
The provisions of this Section 15 shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.
16. RELEASE.

SUBJECT TO AND EXCEPT FOR THE RELEASE CARVEOUTS, BUYER RELEASES ALL SELLER PARTIES FROM, AND WAIVES ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, CLAIMS, DEMANDS, DAMAGES AND COSTS (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES) OF EACH AND EVERY KIND AND CHARACTER, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, FOR OR ATTRIBUTABLE IN ANY WAY TO, ANY LATENT OR PATENT DEFECT, ISSUE OR CONDITION AT OR OF THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CLAIMS, LIABILITIES AND CONTRIBUTION RIGHTS RELATING TO THE PRESENCE, DISCOVERY OR REMOVAL OF ANY HAZARDOUS MATERIALS IN, AT, ABOUT OR UNDER THE PROPERTY, OR FOR, CONNECTED WITH OR ARISING OUT OF ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OR CAUSES OF ACTION BASED THEREON. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE TERM “HAZARDOUS MATERIAL” SHALL MEAN ANY SUBSTANCE, CHEMICAL, WASTE OR MATERIAL THAT IS OR BECOMES REGULATED BY ANY FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY BECAUSE OF ITS TOXICITY, INFECTIOUSNESS, RADIOACTIVITY, EXPLOSIVENESS, IGNITABILITY, CORROSIVENESS OR REACTIVITY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ASBESTOS OR ASBESTOS-CONTAINING MATERIAL, THE GROUP OF COMPOUNDS KNOWN AS POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYLS, FLAMMABLE

SUBJECT TO AND EXCEPT FOR THE RELEASE CARVEOUTS, BUYER, FOR ITSELF AND ITS SUCCESSORS-IN-INTEREST, HEREBY RELEASES EACH SELLER PARTY FROM, AND WAIVES ALLLIABILITY AGAINST SUCH SELLER PARTY FOR ANY AND ALL STATEMENTS OR OPINIONS NOW OR HEREAFTER MADE, OR INFORMATION OR MATERIALS NOW OR HEREAFTER MADE AVAILABLE, BY ANY SELLER PARTY TO BUYER OR TO BUYER’S AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE ABOVE, BUYER EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT IS AWARE OF, AND THAT IT ASSUMES THE SOLE OBLIGATION TO INFORM ITSELF WITH RESPECT TO, THE MATTERS SET FORTH IN SECTION 9(f) OF THIS AGREEMENT. BUYER FURTHER EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE WAIVERS, RELEASES AND INDEMNITIES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT HAVE BEEN NEGOTIATED, BARGAINED FOR AND AGREED UPON IN LIGHT OF SUCH FACTS AND THAT BUYER NEVERTHELESS HEREBY INTENDS TO RELEASE, DISCHARGE AND ACQUIT ALL SELLER PARTIES FROM ALL SUCH LOSSES, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES, COSTS AND EXPENSES.
(b) Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Section 16 does not limit or affect in any way any indemnification provision contained in this Agreement or in any document or instrument executed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement, nor shall this Section 16 constitute a waiver or release of any reimbursement, indemnity or contribution obligation of Seller or any Seller Party to Buyer in connection with any liability, claim or cause of action which relates to the Property and is asserted by a governmental agency or other third party and which arose or otherwise relates to the period prior to the Closing Date (such liabilities, claims or causes of action, “Third Party Claims”). If any Third Party Claim is asserted by any governmental agency or other third party with respect to the Property as it existed at or prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall be free to assert any and all claims and liabilities against Seller arising out of such Third Party Claim being asserted by such governmental agency or other third party.
THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 16 SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING.

18. Commissions. Neither Seller nor Buyer has had any contact or dealings regarding the Property, or any communication in connection with the subject matter of the Transactions, through any real estate broker or other person who can claim a right to a commission or finder’s fee in connection with the sale contemplated herein other than TSG (the “Broker”). If, and only if, the Closing occurs, Seller will pay a commission to the Broker in connection with the Transactions pursuant to a separate written agreement between Seller and the Broker (the “Commission Agreements”). In the event of any claim for broker’s or finder’s fees or commissions in connection with the negotiation, execution or consummation of this Agreement other than pursuant to the Commission Agreements, Buyer shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Seller from and against any and all liability, claims, demands, damages and costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) on account of such claim

The provisions of this Section 18 shall survive Closing or termination of this Agreement.
19. Publicity and Confidentiality. Prior to Closing, Buyer and Seller each agree that the terms of the Transactions, the identities of Buyer and Seller, and all information made available by one party to the other or in any way relating to the other party’s interest in that transaction, shall be maintained in strict confidence and no disclosure of such information shall be made, except to such attorneys, accountants, investors, advisors, lenders and others as are reasonably required to evaluate and consummate that transaction, and except as may be required by applicable law. Buyer and Seller each further agree and covenant as follows:
(a) Neither Buyer nor Seller shall disclose or authorize the disclosure of the Purchase Price or of any other terms of this Agreement or any instruments, documents, or assignments delivered in connection with this Agreement, or the identity of the other party to this Agreement in any public statement, news release, or other public announcement or publication without in each instance the prior written consent of the other party, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(b) Nothing in this Section 19 shall prevent either Buyer or Seller from disclosing or accessing any information otherwise deemed confidential under this Section 19 to the extent required to allow that party to enforce its rights hereunder; (ii) pursuant to any legal requirement, any statutory reporting requirement or any accounting or auditing disclosure requirement; (iii) in connection with performance by either party of its obligations under this Agreement (including, but not limited to, the delivery and recordation of instruments, notices or other documents required hereunder); or (iv) to potential investors, participants or assignees in or of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or such party’s rights therein.
The provisions of this Section 19 shall survive termination of this Agreement and the Closing.
20. Sophistication of the Parties. Buyer and Seller are sophisticated in the buying and selling of income producing property similar to the Property and each has engaged its own sophisticated real estate counsel and advisors. Buyer and Seller each has knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to enable them each to evaluate the merits and risks of the Transactions contemplated hereby. Neither Buyer nor Seller is in a disparate bargaining position with respect to the other. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed as to their fair meaning, and not for or against any party based upon any attribution to such party as the source of the language in question.
21. Notice. Any notice, consent or approval required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given upon (i) hand delivery, (ii) one (1) business day after being deposited with Federal Express or another reliable
32
overnight courier service for next day delivery providing for tracking of delivery, or (iii) upon facsimile transmission (except that if the date of such transmission is not a business day or if such transmission is made after 5:00 p.m. recipient’s local time on a business day, then such notice shall be deemed to be given on the first business day following such transmission) with voice confirmation of receipt by a representative of the recipient, in each case addressed as follows:

22. Miscellaneous.
(a) Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. However, if Closing does not occur on or before the Closing Date, then Title Company shall continue to comply with the instructions contained in this Agreement unless Title Company receives a contrary written demand from either Buyer or Seller.
(b) Entire Agreement. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof, and there are no other agreements existing between Seller and Buyer relative to the subject matter hereof which are not expressly set forth herein and covered hereby.
(c) Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation hereof.
(d) Interpretation. Whenever the context hereof shall so require, the singular shall include the plural, the male gender shall include the female gender and the neuter, and vice versa. This Agreement shall not be construed against either Buyer or Seller but shall be construed as a whole, in accordance with its fair meaning, and as if prepared by Buyer and Seller jointly.
(e) Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be construed under and governed by the laws of the State of Texas without giving effect to, and notwithstanding that the laws of another jurisdiction may be indicated by, the choice of law rules of the State of Texas. Any action initiated by any party under this Agreement shall be brought and prosecuted exclusively in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas – Dallas Division, which the parties acknowledge and agree is a convenient forum in which to litigate such action, and the parties waive any right to commence or transfer such action in or to any other court. Should said District Court find that it has no jurisdiction over such action, then such action shall be brought and prosecuted exclusively in a Texas State District Court in Collin County, Texas. The parties hereto expressly consent and submit to personal jurisdiction of said federal or state courts, as the
34
case may be, and to permanent and exclusive venue therein. In addition, in any action under this Agreement, the parties hereto expressly consent to service of process by any manner set forth in Section 20 hereof for the giving of notice.
(f) Severability. In case any one or more of the other provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and the remainder of the provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without impairment.
(g) Waiver. Any term, condition or provision of this Agreement which is exclusively for the benefit of one party may unilaterally be waived by the benefited party. Except where expressly provided herein that silence is deemed to be an approval, consent or waiver, no waiver of any term, condition or provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing. The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach whether of the same or another provision of this Agreement.
(h) No Obligation to Third Parties. The execution and delivery of this Agreement shall not be deemed to confer any rights upon, nor obligate either of the parties hereto to, any person or entity not a party to this Agreement.
(i) Successors and Assigns; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors, heirs, administrators and assigns. Buyer shall not assign its right, title and interest in and to this Agreement; provided, however, that, upon at least five (5) business days’ prior written notice to Seller, Buyer may assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a single entity as long as such assignee agrees in writing to perform timely and in full each and every obligation of Buyer under this Agreement, in which event (i) the obligations of Buyer under this Agreement shall be joint and several with such assignee until the Closing, and (ii) Buyer shall be released from all post-Closing obligations under this Agreement from and after the Closing.
(j) Amendments in Writing. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended or altered except by a written instrument duly executed by each of the parties hereto, provided, however, that, as provided in Section 6 above, the signature of the Title Company shall not be required as to any amendment of this Agreement other than an amendment of Section 6.
(k) Further Assurances. Each of the parties shall execute such other and further documents and do such further acts as may be reasonably required to effectuate the intent of the parties and carry out the terms of this Agreement. However, neither this Agreement nor any memorandum, short form or other evidence of this Agreement shall be recorded or filed without Seller’s prior written consent, which consent may be given or withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion.
(l) Attorneys’ Fees. If legal action is commenced to enforce or to declare the effect of any provision of this Agreement, or any document executed in connection with this
35
Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party reasonable attorneys’ fees and other litigation costs. In addition to the foregoing award of attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party, the prevailing party in any lawsuit on this Agreement or any document executed in connection with this Agreement shall be entitled to its reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in any post judgment proceedings to collect or enforce the judgment. This provision is separate and several and shall survive the merger of this Agreement or any document executed in connection with this Agreement into any judgment on this Agreement or any document executed in connection with this Agreement.

(p) Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, after the Closing: (i) the maximum aggregate liability of Seller, and the maximum aggregate amount which may be awarded to and collected by Buyer (including, without limitation, for any breach of any representation, warranty and/or covenant by Seller) under this Agreement or any documents executed pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, including, without limitation, the Deed, the Xxxx of Sale, and the Assignment and Assumption (collectively, the “Other
36
Documents”), shall under no circumstances whatsoever exceed the “Liability Cap” (as hereinafter defined); and (ii) no claim by Buyer alleging a breach by Seller of any representation, warranty and/or covenant of Seller contained herein or in any of the Other Documents may be made, and Seller shall not be liable for any judgment in any action based upon any such claim, unless and until such claim, either alone or together with any other claims by Buyer alleging a breach by Seller of any such representation, warranty and/or covenant is for an aggregate amount in excess of FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($50,000) (the “Floor Amount”), in which event Seller’s liability respecting any final judgment concerning such claim or claims shall be for the entire amount thereof, subject to the limitation set forth in clause (i) above; provided, however, that if any such final judgment is for an amount that is less than or equal to the Floor Amount, then Seller shall have no liability with respect thereto. For purposes hereof, “Liability Cap” shall mean EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($800,000); provided, however, that, if, on the 120th day after the Effective Date no Post-Closing Claim (as defined below) is pending or subject to appeal, then the Liability Cap shall thereafter be reduced to SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($600,000); and provided further, however, that, if, on the 365th day after the Effective Date no Post-Closing Claim (as defined below) is pending or subject to appeal, then the Liability Cap shall thereafter be reduced to ZERO ($-0-). For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Floor Amount nor the Liability Cap shall apply to any liability of Seller to Buyer under any indemnity set forth herein or under any document executed in connection herewith, or resulting from any Third Party Claim, or pursuant to Section 8(i) or Section 22(l).

For purposes of this Section 22(q), “net worth” shall mean the total value of Seller’s assets minus its liabilities.
(r) Post-Closing Efforts Concerning Warranties. In the event that (i) there is an assignable Material Warranty that requires consent of the person or entity who gave such Material Warranty and such consent has not been obtained by Closing, Seller will continue to use commercially reasonable efforts, for a reasonable time after Closing, to obtain such consent.
(s) Survival. This Section 22 shall survive Closing.
