(c) Purchaser shall have received each of the agreements, instruments and other deliveries set
forth in Section 8.2.
(d) The physical condition of each Facility shall be substantially the same on the Closing
Date as on the expiration of the Inspection Period, reasonable wear and tear excepted, unless the
alteration of said physical condition is the result of Damage and/or Eminent Domain Event (as such
terms are defined in Article 10 hereof).
(e) At Closing, there shall be no litigation, administrative agency or governmental proceeding
of any kind whatsoever, pending or threatened, that, after Closing, would materially and adversely
affect the value or marketability of any Facility, or the ability of Purchaser to operate any
Facility in the manner it is being operated on the Effective Date. Without limitation of the
foregoing, at Closing, all of the Permits, Operator Licenses, and Operator Approvals shall be in
good standing and neither Seller nor any Facility shall have received any written notice alleging
or advising of any violation of any Permits or Operator Licenses other than non-material health
safety and life safety deficiency notices.
(f) On the Closing Date, no proceedings shall be pending or threatened that could or would
involve the material change, redesignation, redefinition or other modification of the zoning
classifications of (or any building, environmental, or code requirements applicable to) any
Facility, or any portion thereof.
(g) As of the Closing Date, the representations and warranties made by Seller to Purchaser as
of the Effective Date shall be true, accurate and correct as if specifically remade on the Closing
Date.
31
(h) At Closing, the Title Company shall issue the Title Policy insuring Purchaser as the owner
of the leasehold estate created by the HCN Lease in the amount of the Purchase Price, with all
standard and general printed exceptions deleted so as to afford full “extended form coverage,”
subject only to exceptions which will not have a materially adverse effect upon the operation or
value of the Facilities, which Title Policy shall further include those endorsements reasonably
required by Purchaser at Purchaser’s expense and to the extent available in the jurisdictions in
which the respective Facilities are located.
(i) Assuming Purchaser shall have filed all petitions, notices, and applications to obtain
Operator Approvals from Governmental Authorities that are either a condition of the transfer of the
Facilities to Purchaser or necessary for Purchaser to obtain in connection with the use, operation
and ownership of the Facilities from and after Closing as assisted living or memory care
facilities, Purchaser shall not have received any written or verbal notice(s) from any such
Governmental Authorities objecting to the filings or indicating that the Transfer Approvals will
not be granted on or after the Closing Date.
(j) There shall not have occurred or there shall not exist any events, changes, set of
circumstances or conditions having or which reasonably could be likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
(k) Final documents (such as lender consent to transfer and subordination, non-disturbance and
attornment agreement) evidencing the approval of the transfers set forth in this Agreement shall
have been received from the lender holding mortgages on the Facilities.
Section 7.2 Conditions Precedent to Seller’s Performance. Seller shall receive at closing
a release of all obligations under the HCN Lease and all guaranties, whether corporate or personal,
thereof, shall be released.
Section 7.3 Waiver. Purchaser may waive any particular condition to its obligations
hereunder by written notice thereof to Seller. Such waiver of any particular condition shall not
constitute the waiver of any other condition.
Section 7.4 Termination Right. If Closing has not occurred by November 1, 2010, either
Seller or Purchaser, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to terminate this Agreement. In
the event the Agreement is so terminated, then the Deposit shall be disbursed as follows:
(a) To Purchaser, if Seller has failed to cure an objection under Section 2.3, if a condition
precedent to Purchaser’s performance has not been fulfilled under Section 7.1, or if Seller has
committed an uncured default; or
(b) Otherwise to Seller.

ARTICLE 9
Accounts Receivable and Prorations
Section 9.1 Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable.
(a) Accounts Receivable.
(i) Seller shall retain its right, title and interest in and to all accounts receivable (and
any refunds of previous overpayments on payables), whether rental payments or trade accounts or
otherwise, with respect to the Facilities that relate to the period prior to the Closing Date. At
least three (3) Business Days prior to Closing, Seller shall provide Purchaser with a schedule
setting forth any delinquent rental and other outstanding accounts receivable, said schedule being
certified by Seller as complete and correct in all material respects to the best of Seller’s
knowledge.
(ii) Payments received by Purchaser or Seller after the Closing Date from third party payors
and private pay residents shall be handled as follows:
(A) If such payments relate to the period prior to the Closing Date, they shall be first
payable, at Purchaser’s election, to amounts due under any accounts payable with respect to any
Assigned Contracts which are the responsibility of Seller and then any excess shall be retained by
or remitted to Seller.
34
(B) If such payments relate to the period after the Closing Date, such payments shall be
retained by or remitted to Purchaser.
(C) If such payments relate to periods for which both parties are entitled to reimbursement
under the terms hereof, the portion thereof which relates to the period after the Closing Date
shall be retained by or remitted to Purchaser. The other portion shall be first payable, at
Purchaser’s election, to amounts due under any accounts payable with respect to any Assigned
Contracts which are the responsibility of Seller and then any excess shall be retained by or
remitted to Seller.
(D) If the period to which such payment relates is not determinable, such payment shall first
be applied to current rent and thereafter shall be applied in similar fashion to Section
9.1(a)(ii)(C) as to amounts owed to either Purchaser or Seller.
(E) All amounts owing under this Section 9.1(a) shall be remitted, if necessary, to the proper
party within ten (10) days after the end of each month in which the payment was received.
(iii) In the event the parties mutually determine that any payment hereunder was misapplied by
the parties, the party which erroneously received said payment shall remit the same to the other
within ten (10) Business Days after said determination is made.
(iv) For the twelve (12) month period following the Closing Date or until Seller receives
payment of all rental and other accounts receivable attributed to the operation of the Facilities
prior to the Closing Date, whichever is sooner, Purchaser shall, within a reasonable time period
following written request by Seller, provide to Seller an accounting setting forth all amounts
received by Purchaser during the preceding month with respect to the rentals and other accounts
receivable of Seller that are set forth in the schedule provided by Seller pursuant to Section
9.1(a)(i). Purchaser shall deliver such accounting to the address for notices for Seller set forth
below. Upon reasonable prior written notice, and not more frequently than once every ninety (90)
days, Seller shall have the right to inspect all receipts of Purchaser during weekday business
hours in order to confirm Purchaser’s compliance with the obligations imposed on it under this
Section 9.1(a).
(v) Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit in any way Seller’s rights and remedies to recover
delinquent rental and other accounts receivable due and owing Seller under the terms of this
Agreement.
(b) Accounts Payable. Seller shall remain liable for all unpaid accounts payable (and
any balance due from underpayments previously made) with respect to the Facilities that relate to
the period prior to the Closing Date.
Section 9.2 Prorations. Revenues and expenses pertaining to accounts receivable, accounts
payable, Assigned Contracts, utility charges, and real and personal property taxes (if applicable)
shall be prorated between the parties as of the Closing Date. Purchaser shall pay to Seller as
part of the prorations hereunder all prepaid expenses to which Purchaser receives the benefit under
Section 3.5 hereof. All amounts owing from one party hereto to the other party hereto pursuant to
this Section 9.2, to the extent determinable as of the Closing Date, shall be reflected on a
35
separate proration statement (the “Closing Proration Statement”) prepared by Seller at least three
(3) Business Days prior to Closing and approved by Purchaser and shall be paid at Closing by
federal wire transfer of immediately available funds. In general, prorations shown on the Closing
Proration Statement, as well as any prorations or re-prorations made after the Closing Date, have
and shall be made so as to (i) reimburse Seller for expense items; and (ii) charge Seller and pay
to Purchaser for prepaid revenue items, including without limitation any resident or other tenant
rent attributable to the month or billing period in which the Closing Date occurs or any subsequent
month or billing period. The Closing Proration Statement shall therefore show payment by Seller to
Purchaser for all rents (x) received from each resident or other tenant shown on the Rent Roll
relating to the month or billing period in which the Closing Date occurs; and (y) received from
each resident or other tenant relating to any subsequent months or billing periods, prorated as of
the Closing Date. The intent of this Section 9.2 shall be further implemented by Purchaser
delivering to Seller any invoices that reflect amounts due with respect to any period before the
Closing Date and by Purchaser assuming responsibility for the payment of any invoices that reflect
amounts due with respect to any period after the Closing Date, with any overage or shortage in
payments by either party to be adjusted and paid as hereinafter provided. All prorations shall be
made on the basis of actual days elapsed in the relevant accounting, billing or revenue period, and
the prorations shown on the Closing Proration Statement are based on the most recent information
available to Seller. Utility charges that are not metered and read on the Closing Date shall have
been estimated based on prior charges and shown on the Closing Proration Statement, and shall be
re-prorated upon receipt of statements therefor. The parties shall make commercially reasonable
efforts to settle, within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, or as soon thereafter as is
reasonably practicable, all amounts owing from one party hereto to the other party hereto that
require adjustment as a result of actual figures subsequently received.
ARTICLE 10
Casualty or Condemnation
Section 10.1 Casualty or Condemnation. If, prior to Closing, all or any portion of the
Facilities is damaged by fire or other natural casualty (collectively “Damage”), or is taken or
made subject to condemnation, eminent domain or other governmental acquisition proceedings
(collectively “Eminent Domain Event”), then the following procedures shall apply:
(a) If the aggregate cost of repair or replacement of the Damage (collectively, “Repair and/or
Replacement”) is less than 15% of the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to a Facility (the
“Damage Non-Termination Threshold”), Purchaser shall proceed to Closing and take the Property as
diminished by such events, but Purchaser shall receive (A) a reduction of the Purchase Price equal
to (x) the amount of the applicable deductible amount under the policy or policies of property and
casualty insurance covering the Facility or Facilities to which the Damage occurred; plus (y) an
amount equal to any revenue, defined as net profit plus continuing expenses, reasonably expected to
be lost to the Facilities as a result of such Damage, applied against the cash otherwise due Seller
at Closing; plus (B) an assignment by Seller to Purchaser of the proceeds payable under such policy
or policies of property and casualty insurance. In such event, Seller shall fully cooperate with
Purchaser in the adjustment and settlement of the insurance claim or claims.
36
(b) If the Damage Non-Termination Threshold has been exceeded or an Eminent Domain Event has
occurred which will materially impair the operation of the affected Facility, then Purchaser, at
its sole option, may elect, by written notice to Seller, delivered on or prior to Closing, to (i)
terminate this Agreement, in which event the provisions of Section 14.16 governing a permitted
termination by Purchaser shall apply and Purchaser shall be refunded the Deposit; or (ii) proceed
to close subject to the following conditions:
(i) In the case of Damage, Purchaser shall receive (A) a reduction of the Purchase Price equal
to (x) the amount of the applicable deductible amount under the policy or policies of property and
casualty insurance covering the Facility or Facilities to which the Damage occurred; plus (y) an
amount equal to any revenue, defined as net profit plus continuing expenses, reasonably expected to
be lost to the Facilities as a result of such Damage, applied against the cash otherwise due Seller
at Closing; plus (B) an assignment by Seller to Purchaser of the proceeds payable under such policy
or policies of property and casualty insurance. In such event, Seller shall fully cooperate with
Purchaser in the adjustment and settlement of the insurance claim or claims.
(ii) In the case of an Eminent Domain Event, Purchaser shall receive (A) a reduction in the
Purchase Price equal to an amount equal to any revenue, defined as net profit plus continuing
expenses, reasonably expected to be lost to the Facilities as a result of such Eminent Domain
Event, applied against the cash otherwise due Seller at Closing; plus (B) an assignment by Seller
to Purchaser of any condemnation award with respect to the Eminent Domain Event. In such event,
Seller shall fully cooperate with Purchaser with respect to any proceedings relating to any
condemnation award.
(iii) In either case, the proceeds and benefits under any rent loss or business interruption
insurance policies attributable to the period following the Closing shall likewise be paid and
transferred over (and, if applicable, likewise credited on an interim basis) to Purchaser.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) Purchaser received a credit under Section 10.1(b)(i)(A)(y)
for any component of the lost revenue described therein; and (ii) Purchaser also receives a payment
on account of such component from any rent loss or business interruption insurance proceeds
transferred to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 10.1(b)(iii), then such payment shall be
reimbursed to Seller.
ARTICLE 11
Default
Section 11.1 Default by Seller. If, on or before the Closing Date, (a) this Agreement has
not been terminated; (b) Purchaser has performed in all material respects all obligations of
Purchaser under this Agreement to be performed on or before the Closing; and (c) Purchaser is
ready, willing and able to proceed to Closing; but (d) Seller defaults hereunder, then Purchaser
shall have the right as its sole and exclusive remedy to either (i) terminate this Agreement and
receive an immediate refund of the Deposit together with interest thereon from Escrow Agent; or
(ii) to pursue specific performance of such obligations of Seller under this Agreement so long as
any action or proceeding commenced by Purchaser against Seller shall be filed and served within
sixty (60) days of the Closing Date. After Closing, the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.1
shall not limit Purchaser’s rights and remedies in the event of any breach, default or failure of
37
performance by Seller of any covenant, agreement, indemnity, representation or warranty of Seller
that survives the Closing or the termination of this Agreement, and in such event Purchaser shall
have all of its rights at law or in equity on account of such breach, default or failure of
performance.
Section 11.2 Default by Purchaser. If, on or before the Closing Date, (a) this Agreement
has not been terminated; (b) Seller has performed in all material respects all obligations of
Seller under this Agreement to be performed on or before the Closing; and (c) Seller is ready,
willing and able to proceed to Closing; but (d) Purchaser defaults in performing any of its
obligations under this Agreement, including its obligation to purchase the Property, Seller shall
have the right as its sole and exclusive remedy to terminate this Agreement and be paid the Deposit
(the “Purchaser Default Amount”). Seller and Purchaser agree that in the event of such a default,
the damages that Seller would sustain as a result thereof would be difficult if not impossible to
ascertain. Therefore, Seller and Purchaser agree that, Seller shall be paid the Purchaser Default
Amount as full and complete liquidated damages, and not as a penalty or forfeiture, as Seller’s
sole and exclusive remedy. After Closing, the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.2 shall not
limit Seller’s rights and remedies in the event of any breach, default or failure of performance by
Purchaser of any covenant, agreement, indemnity, representation or warranty of Purchaser that
survives the Closing or the termination of this Agreement. The foregoing shall not apply to, and
Seller shall have no right to the Purchaser Default Amount in connection with, a breach, default or
failure of performance by Purchaser pursuant to Section 14.4; provided, however, that Seller shall
be entitled to pursue an action for actual damages with respect to such breach, default or failure
of performance by Purchaser.
ARTICLE 12
Successors and Assigns
Section 12.1 Assignment. The terms, conditions and covenants of this Agreement shall be
binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective nominees,
successors, beneficiaries and assigns; provided, however, no conveyance, assignment or transfer of
any interest whatsoever of, in or to the Property or of this Agreement shall be made by Seller
during the term of this Agreement. Purchaser may assign all or any of its right, title and
interest under this Agreement to any Affiliate of Purchaser. No such assignee shall accrue any
obligations or liabilities hereunder until the effective date of such assignment. In the event of
an assignment of this Agreement by Purchaser, its assignee shall be deemed to be the Purchaser
hereunder for all purposes hereof, and shall have all rights of Purchaser hereunder (including, but
not limited to, the right of further assignment), provided the assignor shall not be released from
liability hereunder.
ARTICLE 13
Indemnification
Section 13.1 Seller’s Indemnities. Seller and its successors and assigns agree to (on a
joint and several basis), and do, indemnify and hold Purchaser, Purchaser’s Affiliates, and their
respective members, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns (the
38
“Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, claims,
causes of action, judgments, costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of
attorneys) (collectively, “Losses”) that may be suffered or incurred by or asserted or awarded
against Purchaser or any Purchaser Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of, or in connection
with, or by reason of: (i) any material inaccuracy, breach or default by Seller in any
representations and warranties of Seller hereunder; (ii) any failure by Seller to perform any
covenant, agreement or undertaking hereunder in any material respect; (iii) any and all actions,
suits, litigation, arbitrations, procedures, investigations, or claims (collectively, “Actions”)
arising out of any of the foregoing or out of such other conditions that have occurred prior to the
Closing Date even though such Actions have not been filed or have not come to light until after
Closing; (iv) any Excluded Liabilities; and (v) any Environmental Liabilities.
Section 13.2 Purchaser’s Indemnities. Purchaser and its successors and assigns hereby
agrees to, and does, indemnify and hold Seller, and its respective members, partners, directors,
officers, employees, and agents (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any
and all Losses which Seller Indemnified Parties may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject
to, as a result of or in connection with:
(a) any and all Actions arising out of Purchaser’s or its Affiliates’ operation of the
Facilities after the Closing Date;
(b) any material breach of any representation and warranty by Purchaser hereunder or any
material breach of any covenant and agreement to be performed by Purchaser before or after the
Closing Date;
(c) any acts, omissions or negligence of Purchaser or any person claiming under Purchaser, or
the contractors, agents, employees, invitees or visitors of Purchaser, in each case with respect to
the Facilities after the Closing Date;
(d) any failure by Purchaser to pay any liabilities in connection with the Facilities
attributable to periods after the Closing Date; or
(e) any material breach of any covenant or agreement by Purchaser hereunder to be performed on
or after the Closing Date.
Section 13.3 Survival. The indemnifications contained in Section 13.1 and Section 13.2
shall survive the Effective Date for a period of two (2) years; provided, that the indemnifications
contained in Section 13.1(iv) and Section 13.2(a) shall survive the Closing Date until completion
of any Actions that are commenced during such 2-year period and for the applicable statute of
limitations period for Actions that are not yet commenced during such 2-year period.
Section 13.4 Holdback.
(a) As security for Seller’s indemnification obligations under this Article 13, Seller shall
open an escrow (the “Indemnity Escrow”) and Title Company shall holdback at Closing for a period of
two (2) years after the Closing Date a portion of the Purchase Price equal to One Million and
No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000) (the “Indemnity Escrow Amount”), which such Indemnity Escrow Amount
shall be held by Title Company in an interest-bearing account. The
39
Indemnity Escrow Amount, together with all interest earned thereon, is hereinafter referred to
as the “Indemnity Amount.” The Indemnity Amount shall be held and disbursed by Title Company in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) If (i) a Purchaser Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification as established under
this Agreement, Purchaser may send a written notice (a “Payment Notice”) to Seller and Title
Company. The Payment Notice shall set forth the name of the Purchaser Indemnified Party and the
amount of the claim for indemnification. Within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the
Payment Notice, Seller shall notify Purchaser and Title Company in writing as to whether Seller
accepts or rejects such Payment Notice.
(i) If Seller accepts such Payment Notice or fails to respond to such Payment Notice within
ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such Payment Notice, then Title Company shall pay the
amount set forth in the Payment Notice directly to Purchaser (at Purchaser’s direction and to such
account as Purchaser designates in writing) promptly upon Seller’s notification of acceptance or,
in the event Seller fails to timely respond to such Payment Notice, on that date which is eleven
(11) Business Days after Title Company’s receipt of the Payment Notice.
(ii) If Seller timely rejects such Payment Notice, then Title Company shall not disburse such
funds and may, at its option, continue to hold such funds until both Purchaser and Seller agree as
to its disposition, or until a final judgment is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction or by
an arbitrator pursuant to Section 14.18 below directing its disposition, or Title Company may
interplead instructions with respect to such funds in accordance with the laws of Texas.
(c) On that date which is two (2) years after the Closing Date, unless Title Company is in
receipt of any Payment Notice that is pending or has not been paid (or otherwise resolved
judicially, by arbitration or by the agreement of Purchaser and Seller), then Title Company shall
pay the Indemnity Amount (or any remaining portion thereof) to Seller. Title Company shall incur
no liability in connection with the safekeeping or disposition of the Indemnity Escrow for any
reason other than Title Company’s breach of contract, willful misconduct or negligence. If Title
Company is in doubt as to its duties or obligations with regard to any funds received by Title
Company pursuant to the Indemnity Escrow, or if Title Company receives unilateral instructions from
Seller, or conflicting instructions from Purchaser or Seller with respect to the disposition of the
Indemnity Escrow, Title Company shall not disburse such funds and may, at its option, continue to
hold such funds until Purchaser and Seller agree as to its disposition, or until a final judgment
is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction or by an arbitrator pursuant to Section 14.18 below
directing its disposition, or Title Company may interplead instructions with respect to such funds
in accordance with the laws of Texas.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 13.4, nothing contained
herein, or the release by Title Company to Purchaser Indemnified Parties of all or any portion of
the Indemnity Amount pursuant to this Section 13.4, shall be deemed to limit or otherwise diminish
Seller’s obligations under Article 13 of this Agreement, except to the extent the release by Title
Company to Purchaser Indemnified Parties of all or any portion of the Indemnity Amount satisfies or
discharges the foregoing obligations of Seller, and even then, only
40
to the extent of such satisfaction or discharge. The provisions of this Section 13.4 shall
survive the Closing.
ARTICLE 14

Section 14.2 Access to Records.
(a) From and after the Closing Date and for a period of three (3) years thereafter, Purchaser
shall allow Seller and its respective agents and representatives to have reasonable access to (upon
reasonable prior notice and during normal business hours), and to make copies of, the books and
records and supporting material of the Facilities relating to the period prior to the Closing Date,
to the extent reasonably necessary to enable Seller to, among other things, investigate and defend
malpractice or other claims, to file or defend tax returns, to verify any prorations or adjustments
for which this Agreement provides, and to verify accounts receivable collections due Seller. The
foregoing shall be subject to Seller having delivered to Purchaser or the Facilities (or not
removed from the Facilities) such books and records and supporting materials, as contemplated by
this Agreement and shall be subject to applicable law.
(b) Each of Purchaser and Seller shall be entitled to obtain or remove the originals of any
records from the Facilities and any corporate office (including, without limitation, personnel
records of employees or former employees of the Facilities and any corporate office), for purposes
of litigation involving a resident or employee to whom such record relates, if an officer of or
counsel for such party certifies that such original must be produced in order to comply with
applicable law or the order of a court of competent jurisdiction in connection with such
litigation. Any record so removed shall promptly be returned following its use, and nothing herein
shall be interpreted to prohibit Purchaser from retaining copies of any such documents before
obtained or removed by Seller pursuant to this Section 14.2.
(c) Purchaser agrees to maintain such books, records and other material comprising records of
the Facilities’ operations that have been received by Purchaser from Seller or otherwise,
including, but not limited to, resident and employee records, to the extent required by law, but in
no event less than three (3) years.
Section 14.3 Transfer to Purchaser’s Designee. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, Seller shall, upon request from Purchaser, convey at Closing some or all of the Property
to an Affiliate of Purchaser, which Property, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, should be conveyed to
an entity other than Purchaser.
Section 14.4 Broker. Each party hereto represents and warrants to the other that it has
dealt with no brokers or finders in connection with this transaction. Seller hereby indemnifies,

or agreements of Seller. Purchaser hereby indemnifies, protects and defends and holds Seller
41
harmless from and against any and all losses resulting from the claims of any broker, finder or
other such party, claiming by, through or under the acts or agreements of Purchaser. The
obligations of the parties pursuant to this Section 14.4 shall survive the Closing or any earlier
termination of this Agreement.
Section 14.5 Further Assurances. Following the Closing Date, each of Seller and Purchaser
agrees to execute and deliver within a commercially reasonable time any and all further agreements,
documents or instruments reasonably necessary to effectuate this Agreement and the transactions
referred to herein or contemplated hereby or reasonably requested by the other party to perfect or
evidence their rights hereunder; provided however, that neither party shall be required to incur
any third party costs as a result of this Section 14.5.

similar communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent by personal

Any notice so given by mail shall be deemed to have been given as of the date of delivery
(whether accepted or refused) established by U.S. Post Office return receipt or the overnight
carrier’s proof of delivery, or the receipt of transmission of a facsimile, as the case may be,
whether accepted or refused. Any such notice not so given shall be deemed given upon receipt of
the same by the party to whom the same is to be given. Any party hereto may designate a different
address for itself by written notice to the other party in accordance with this Section 14.6.
Section 14.7 Benefit. This Agreement is for the benefit only of the parties hereto and
their nominees, successors, beneficiaries and assignees as permitted in Article 12 and no other
Person shall be entitled to rely hereon, receive any benefit herefrom or enforce against any party
hereto any provision hereof.
Section 14.8 Limitation of Liability. Upon the Closing, Purchaser shall neither assume nor
undertake to pay, satisfy or discharge any liabilities, obligations or commitments of Seller other
than those specifically agreed to between the parties and set forth in this Agreement.
Section 14.9 Reasonable Efforts. Seller and Purchaser shall use their reasonable, diligent
and good faith efforts, and shall cooperate with and assist each other in their efforts, to obtain
such consents and approvals of third parties (including, but not limited to, Governmental
Authorities), to the transaction contemplated hereby, and to otherwise perform as may be necessary
to effectuate the transfer of the Property to Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement.
Section 14.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding
between the parties with respect to the transaction contemplated herein, and all prior or
contemporaneous oral agreements, understandings, representations and statements, and all prior
written
43
agreements, understandings, letters of intent and proposals, in each case with respect to the
transaction contemplated herein, are hereby superseded and rendered null and void and of no further
force and effect and are merged into this Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor any provisions
hereof may be waived, modified, amended, discharged or terminated except by an instrument in
writing signed by the party against which the enforcement of such waiver, modification, amendment,
discharge or termination is sought, and then only to the extent set forth in such instrument.
Section 14.11 Business Days. If any date herein set forth for the performance of any
obligations by Seller or Purchaser or for the delivery of any instrument or notice as herein
provided should be on a day that is not a Business Day, the compliance with such obligations or
delivery shall be deemed acceptable on the next following Business Day.
Section 14.12 Conditions Precedent. The obligations of Purchaser to pay the Purchase Price
and to close the transaction contemplated herein are subject to the express conditions precedent
set forth in Article 7 (and the other conditions precedent of Purchaser herein contained), each of
which is for the sole benefit of Purchaser and may be waived at any time by written notice thereof
from Purchaser to Seller. The waiver of any particular condition precedent shall not constitute
the waiver of any other. In the event of the failure of a condition precedent for any reason
whatsoever, Purchaser may elect, in its sole discretion and by delivery of written notice to Seller
on or prior to Closing, to (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event the provisions of Section
14.16 of this Agreement governing a permitted termination by Purchaser shall apply; or (ii) waive
the failure of the applicable condition(s) precedent and proceed to Closing. The obligation of
Seller to close is subject to the express conditions precedent set forth in Section 7.2.
Section 14.13 Construction. This Agreement shall not be construed more strictly against
one party than against the other merely by virtue of the fact that it may have been prepared by
counsel for one of the parties, it being recognized that both Seller and Purchaser have contributed
substantially and materially to the preparation of this Agreement. The headings of various
sections in this Agreement are for convenience only, and are not to be utilized in construing the
content or meaning of the substantive provisions hereof. If Purchaser or Seller consists of more
than one Person, the obligations of each Person comprising Purchaser and each Person comprising
Seller shall be joint and several.
Section 14.14 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.
Section 14.15 Partial Invalidity. The provisions hereof shall be deemed independent and
severable, and the invalidity or partial invalidity or enforceability of any one provision shall
not affect the validity of enforceability of any other provision hereof.
Section 14.16 Permitted Termination. In the event that Purchaser exercises any right it
may have hereunder to terminate this Agreement, the Purchaser Default Amount shall not be owing
from Purchaser to Seller hereunder or otherwise and neither party shall have any further liability
or obligation under this Agreement except for those liabilities and obligations that expressly
survive a termination of this Agreement.
44
Section 14.17 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in as many counterparts as may
be convenient or required, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together
shall constitute one and the same instrument. For purposes of executing this Agreement, a document
signed and transmitted by facsimile machine, telecopier, or by scan and attachment to an email
transmission shall be treated as an original document. The signature of any party thereon shall be
considered an original signature, and the document transmitted shall be considered to have the same
binding legal effect as an original signature on an original document.
Section 14.18 Arbitration. In the event of any dispute, claim or controversy of any kind
between the parties, concerning this Agreement or the termination of this Agreement, the matter
shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with rules of the American Arbitration Association.
The parties jointly shall agree on an arbitrator. If the parties are unable to agree, in good
faith within a reasonable time, on the selection of an arbitrator, either party may request
appointment of an arbitrator chosen by the American Arbitration Association who shall be the
selected arbitrator. Such arbitrator shall be limited in his decision to a choice between the
final position as requested by each party. Said arbitration shall be held in Dallas/Ft. Worth,
Texas or such other place as is mutually agreeable. The arbitration decision shall be final and
binding on both parties unless the arbitration is fraudulent or so grossly erroneous as to
necessarily imply bad faith. Costs of arbitration of both parties shall be paid by the losing
party.
Section 14.19 Exclusivity. Seller acknowledges that Purchaser has committed and will
commit substantial money, time and effort in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.
Accordingly, Seller and its representatives agree that, until the termination of this Agreement,
Seller shall not (i) take any action to solicit, initiate, encourage, accept or agree to any
Acquisition Proposal, or (ii) engage in negotiations with, or disclose any non-public information
relating to the Purchaser, the Property and/or the Facilities, or afford access to the books or
records thereof to, any Person that may consider making, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal.
Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that Seller is not engaged any negotiations with
respect to any Acquisition Proposal by any Person other than Purchaser.
Section 14.20 Confidentiality. Purchaser and Seller agree that prior to the Closing Date,
the terms set forth in this Agreement shall remain totally and completely confidential and shall
not be revealed or disclosed to any person or party whatsoever, or to the public through the
issuance of a press release, except (i) with the prior written consent of Purchaser and Seller;
(ii) as may be disclosed to the parties’ attorneys, accountants and other representatives that are
involved in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement;
(iii) as may be required or permitted by applicable law, including applicable securities law; and
(iv) in connection with any proceedings between the parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Purchaser and Seller agree that Purchaser may, without the consent of Seller, file an 8-K report
and any other SEC filings with this Agreement included as an exhibit and issue press releases,
conduct investor calls and answer investor questions concerning the transaction set forth herein;
provided, however, Purchaser shall provide a draft of any press release to Seller at least one (1)
business day before the release of such press release.
