If, however, the purchase and sale of the Property is not consummated as contemplated hereunder, the Deposit will be delivered to Seller or returned to Buyer as elsewhere provided in this Agreement.
3. Due Diligence.
(a) Title and Survey.
(i) Prior to the Opening of Escrow, Seller delivered or caused to be delivered to Buyer from Fidelity National Title Insurance Company’s (the “Title Company”) Title Commitment No 14475 for the Real Property with an Effective Date of October 5, 2014 prepared by Escrow Holder, in its capacity as agent for Title Company (the “PTR”), together with legible copies (to the extent available) of all documents (“Exception Documents”) relating to the title exceptions referred to in the PTR. Buyer shall be permitted to obtain an update of the PTR, and if so updated, the term “PTR” shall refer to the preliminary title report as so updated.
(ii) Prior to the Opening of Escrow, Seller delivered to Buyer and the Title Company a survey of the Real Property, which survey is to be prepared in accordance with the “Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys,” jointly established and adopted by the American Land Title Association and National Society for Professional Surveyors, Inc., in 2011 (the “Survey”), which survey Seller represents is sufficient to enable the Title Company to issue the Title Policy (as defined below) with the blanket survey exception thereof limited only to shortages in area. The Survey shall be certified by the surveyor to and for the benefit of Seller, Buyer, Buyer’s lender(s), if any, and the Title Company. Buyer shall be permitted to obtain an update of the Survey at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, and if so updated, the term “Survey” shall refer to the Survey as so updated.
(iii) Within fifteen (15) days after the Opening of Escrow, Buyer shall notify Seller of any disapproved title exceptions (the “Disapproved PTR Matters”) and any disapproved Survey matters (the “Disapproved Survey Matters” and, collectively with the Disapproved PTR Matters, the “Disapproved Title Matters”) by written notice to Seller (each, a “Title Objection Letter”). All title exceptions set forth in the PTR other than the Disapproved PTR Matters, together with all survey matters set forth in the Survey other than the Disapproved Survey Matters, shall collectively constitute the “Permitted Exceptions.”
(iv) If, within the period described above, Buyer delivers one or more Title Objection Letters, then Seller shall have five (5) days after its receipt of a Title Objection Letter to notify Buyer whether Seller is willing to remove, or cause to be removed, the Disapproved Title Matters set forth in such Title Objection Letter, or, in the alternative, obtain the necessary title endorsements (the “Disapproved Title Matter Endorsements”), in a form satisfactory to Buyer, to insure against the effects of such Disapproved Title Matter. Seller shall have no obligation to remove or cure, or cause to be removed or cured, any of the Disapproved Title Matters, except as set forth below. If Seller notifies Buyer that Seller is willing to cure a Disapproved Title Matter (whether by removal or endorsement), Seller shall be unconditionally obligated to so cure such Disapproved Title Matter prior to or concurrently with the Close of Escrow at its sole cost and expense, and such cure shall be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to complete the Close of Escrow. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Seller shall be obligated to cure (by way of payment and discharge of record, or by other means reasonably acceptable to Buyer) all Disapproved Title Matters
3
constituting (A) liens securing a mortgage, deed of trust or trust deed; (B) judgment liens against Seller or any party claiming under Seller; (C) tax liens for delinquent real estate taxes; and (D) any mechanics’ liens, materialman’s liens or other statutory liens arising by, through or under Seller. If Seller fails or refuses to cure monetary liens against the Property, Buyer may, but is not obligated to, elect to require Title Company and Escrow Holder to satisfy such monetary liens or encumbrances and deduct the costs of the cure from the Purchase Price.
(v) If Seller notifies Buyer that Seller is not willing to cure a Disapproved Title Matter, Buyer shall then, within five (5) business days thereafter, elect, by giving written notice to Seller and Escrow Holder, (A) to terminate this Agreement or (B) to waive its disapproval of such Disapproved Title Matter (and such Disapproved Title Matter shall then be deemed to be a Permitted Exception). Buyer’s failure to give such notice shall be deemed an election to terminate this Agreement. Seller’s failure to notify Buyer that Seller is willing to cure a Disapproved Title Matter within the required five (5) day period shall be deemed a notice of Seller’s election not to cure such Disapproved Title Matter. Upon Buyer’s election, or deemed election, to terminate this Agreement under this Section 3(a), Escrow Holder shall pay the Deposit to Buyer, and this Agreement shall be deemed cancelled and neither party shall have any further obligations to the other under this Agreement, except those that are specifically stated to survive the termination of this Agreement.
(vi) If the Title Company, prior to the Close of Escrow, discloses to Buyer or Seller a new exception, or materially amends any exception previously approved by Buyer, or materially amends the terms under which the Title Company is willing to issue the Title Policy, or if the Survey is materially amended, then Buyer shall have five (5) business days from its receipt of notice of such disclosure, together with legible copies (to the extent available) of all documents mentioned in such disclosure (and if necessary, the Close of Escrow shall be extended to provide for such five (5) day period), to disapprove of the same by delivering a Title Objection Letter related thereto. Such disapproved disclosures shall be treated as Disapproved Title Matters pursuant to Sections 3(a)(iii) through 3(a)(v) above, and the terms and conditions of this Section 3 shall apply to same.
(vii) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, following the date of this Agreement and until the Close of Escrow, Seller shall not create, place, grant, convey, or otherwise voluntarily cause or otherwise consent to any liens, encumbrances or restrictions affecting the Property, or any part thereof, to be created, suffered to be placed or recorded against the title thereto, nor will Seller during said period convey any interest in the Property to anyone other than Buyer without Buyer’s prior written consent, which consent Buyer may withhold in its absolute discretion.
(b) Documents to be Provided by Seller. Prior to the date of this Agreement, Seller caused to be delivered to Buyer, via e-mail (xxxx@xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx, xxxxx.xxxx@xxx.xxx and xxxxx.xxxxxxx@xxx.xxx), or made available to Buyer in an internet “data room” or FTP site, copies of the documents relating to the Property more particularly described under the heading “Property Documents” in Schedule 3(b) attached hereto (collectively, the “Property Documents”), each to the extent within Seller’s possession or control. In addition, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Hospital Tenant to deliver to Buyer or make available to Buyer, within three (3) business days after the Opening of Escrow, via e-mail (xxxx@xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx, xxxxx.xxxx@xxx.xxx, xxxxx.xxxxxxx@xxx.xxx and other persons identified in writing by Buyer) or in an internet “data room” or FTP site, copies of the documents relating to Hospital Tenant and its operations within the Hospital more particularly described under the heading “Tenant Documents” in Schedule 3(b) attached hereto (collectively, the “Tenant Documents”). If Buyer determines that any of the Property Documents or the Tenant Documents have
4
not been delivered to or made available to Buyer or that Seller possess additional documents relating to the Property that have not been delivered or made available to Buyer, or if Buyer requests additional information from or about the Property or the Hospital Tenant and its operations within the Hospital, Buyer shall notify Seller and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver or cause Hospital Tenant to deliver such documents or information to Buyer within three (3) business days after such notification is received by Seller; provided, however, if Seller fails to timely deliver or cause Hospital Tenant to deliver such additional documentation or information, under no circumstances will the Contingency Period be extended and Buyer’s sole remedy will be to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 3(e) below. In providing or causing to be provided the Property Documents and any such additional documentation or information to Buyer, other than those representations of Seller specifically set forth in Section 9 below, Seller makes no representation or warranty, express, written, oral, statutory, or implied, and all such representations and warranties are hereby expressly excluded and disclaimed. Buyer acknowledges and understands that, although Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to locate and deliver or make available, or cause to be delivered or made available, the Property Documents, the Tenant Documents and any such additional documentation or information as may be requested by Buyer, other than those representations of Seller specifically set forth in Section 9 below, Buyer will not rely on the Property Documents, the Tenant Documents or such additional documentation or information as being a complete and accurate source of information with respect to the Property, and will instead in all instances rely exclusively on its own inspections and consultants with respect to all matters which it deems relevant to its decision to acquire and own the Property.
(c) Access to Property. Buyer, its employees, contractors, agents and designees shall be entitled, at all reasonable times during which this Agreement shall be in effect and by giving at least one (1) business day prior notice, to conduct on-site inspections and surveys of the Property and physical inspections and tests of the Property, including, without limitation, the right to enter and inspect all portions of the Property (subject to the rights of Hospital Tenant stated in the Hospital Lease), to interview Hospital Tenant at the Property, and to inspect and review all of the material included in the Property Documents and the Tenant Documents in connection with such inspections; provided, however, Buyer agrees not to, nor permit any of its agents or representatives to, unreasonably interfere with the possession and/or use of any portion of the Property by Hospital Tenant and/or Seller’s or Hospital Tenant’s operations at the Property, or cause any damage to the Property. Buyer will not conduct, and will not allow Buyer’s agents or representatives to conduct, any physically invasive testing of, on or under the Land or Improvements (such as, by way of example only, the taking of materials or soil samples) without first obtaining Seller’s written consent, which may be granted or withheld in Seller’s reasonable discretion. Seller and/or Seller’s representative shall have the right to be present during each such on-site inspections and Hospital Tenant interviews by Buyer or its agents or representatives, and shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to be available for same. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with the efforts of Buyer and Buyer’s employees, contractors, agents and designees to inspect the Property.
(d) Indemnity. Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any liens, claims, or damages, including, without limitation, any and all demands, actions or causes of action, assessments, losses, costs, liabilities, interest, penalties and reasonable attorneys’ fees suffered or incurred by Seller as a direct result of Buyer or Buyer’s agents or representatives inspections of the Property pursuant to this Section 3. Buyer will repair or cause to be repaired any damages caused by Buyer or Buyer’s agents or representatives in the conduct of such review. Buyer shall have no liability for any diminution in the value of the Property as a result of matters or conditions merely identified during its inspection of the Property, the Property Documents and the Tenant Documents. Buyer shall, at its sole expense, maintain at all times during which Buyer enters any portion of the Land or the Improvements a policy of commercial general liability insurance, reasonably acceptable to Seller, which shall name Seller as an additional insured with limits of not less than $1,000,000 for bodily injury or death in any one accident and not less than $1,000,000 for property damages. Buyer shall deliver to
5
Seller certificates of insurance evidencing such coverage prior to any such entry onto or into the Land or the Improvements. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, the indemnification obligations of Buyer in this Section 3(d) will survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.
(e) Contingency Period. For a period commencing with the Opening of Escrow and ending at 9:00 P.M. Dallas, Texas time on the thirtieth (30th) day thereafter (such period of time, the “Contingency Period”), Buyer, at its expense, may conduct studies and inspections of the Property (including, without limitation, architectural, geotechnical, environmental, marketing, engineering, and financial feasibility studies), Hospital Tenant and the Hospital to determine whether or not Buyer desires, in its sole judgment and discretion, to purchase the Property. In the event that Buyer determines, in its sole judgment and discretion, that Buyer does not want to Purchase the Property, for any reason or for no reason, Buyer shall have the unconditional right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Seller prior to the expiration of the Contingency Period, in which event this Agreement shall become null and void, whereupon Escrow Holder shall refund the Deposit to Buyer (which obligation and right shall survive such termination), and all rights, liabilities and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall expire, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein. If Buyer does not so terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Contingency Period, Buyer conclusively shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3(e), at which time the Deposit shall be non-refundable to Buyer except for a default on the part of Seller or a termination of this Agreement pursuant to any other right granted to Buyer hereunder.
(f) Estoppel Certificate. Seller shall deliver to Hospital Tenant an estoppel certificate in the form of Exhibit 4(g)(vi) attached hereto within two (2) business following the Opening of Escrow, and thereafter Seller shall use commercially reasonable and diligent efforts to cause Hospital Tenant to execute the same and to deliver the same to Buyer. Seller shall promptly deliver to Buyer photocopies of the executed estoppel certificate when Seller receives the same. If Seller receives communication from Hospital Tenant providing comments to the estoppel certificate, Seller shall promptly deliver same to Buyer and thereafter Buyer shall have the right to directly communicate with Hospital Tenant regarding the terms and conditions of same.
(g) Regulatory Notices and Approvals. Each party shall perform such other acts, and shall execute, acknowledge and deliver, prior to, at or subsequent to Close of Escrow, such other notices as the other may reasonably request (as reasonably determined by the requesting party or its counsel) or that may be legally required in order to effect the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, to lawfully vest title to the Property in Buyer and to allow Hospital Tenant to lawfully continue to operate the ongoing business at the Hospital (collectively, the foregoing being referred to herein as the “Regulatory Approvals”); provided, however, the requesting party shall notify the other party in writing prior to the expiration of the Contingency Period of any such additional acts or any such other notices and shall provide drafts of any documents requested or required of the other party with respect to the Regulatory Approvals. This paragraph and the obligations of the parties hereunder shall survive the Closing.
(h) Contracts. Prior to Close of Escrow, Buyer shall have the right to exclude from those Contracts that are assigned to and assumed by Buyer all Contracts which Buyer elects by written notice delivered to Seller, prior to the expiration of the Contingency Period, to not assume (the “Excluded Contracts”), provided that such election is exercisable with respect to any Contract only if the Contract is cancellable without penalty, or if with a penalty, only if Buyer irrevocably agrees in writing to pay same. Seller shall cancel effective as of the Close of Escrow all such Contracts identified by Buyer prior to the expiration of the Contingency Period. In no event shall the Hospital Lease or the 380 Agreement qualify as an Excluded Contract.

(vi) Seller shall have obtained and delivered to Buyer not later than ten (10) days prior to the Close of Escrow an estoppel certificate executed by Hospital Tenant substantially in the form of Exhibit 4(g)(vi) attached hereto, and which (A) does not assert any defaults, offsets, defenses, punchlist items or claims under the Lease Hospital, (B) is dated not earlier than thirty (30) days prior to the Close of Escrow, and (C) does not contradict the representations and warranties set forth in Section 9(m) of this Agreement.
Buyer reserves the right to review the Hospital Lease during the Contingency Period and, before the expiration of the Contingency Period, request an amendment to this Agreement (which Seller is under no obligation to accept or provide), which amendment adds as an additional condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated in this Agreement a requirement that Seller deliver at Close of Escrow an amendment to the Hospital Lease containing such terms and conditions as Buyer and Hospital Tenant may agree, including, by way of example only, (i) a modification to the Hospital Tenant’s obligations under the Hospital Lease with respect to the financial statements it is required to deliver to the lessor thereunder, and (ii) a provision obligating Hospital Tenant to comply with the certain audit requirements of Buyer similar to the provisions of Section 17(q)(xiii) hereof designated by Buyer.
(h) Interpleader; Escrow Holder. The parties hereto expressly agree that if the parties give the Escrow Holder contradictory instructions, the Escrow Holder shall have the right at its election to file an action in interpleader requiring the parties to answer and litigate their several claims and rights among themselves, and the Escrow Holder is authorized to deposit with the clerk of the court all documents and funds held in this Escrow. If such action is filed, the parties agree to pay Escrow Holder’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees which Escrow Holder is required to expend or incur in the interpleader action, the amount thereof to be fixed and judgment therefor to be rendered by the court. Upon the filing of such an action, Escrow Holder shall thereupon be fully released and discharged from all obligations to further perform any duties or obligations otherwise imposed by the terms of the Escrow other than those relating to Escrow Holder’s negligence and willful misconduct. The Escrow Holder shall deliver the Deposit to Seller or Buyer only upon receipt of a written demand therefor from such party, except where this paragraph expressly provides for notice only from Buyer. Subject to the last sentence of this clause (b), if for any reason the Close of Escrow does not occur and either party makes a written demand (the “Demand”) upon the Escrow Holder for payment of the Deposit, the Escrow Holder shall give written notice to the other party of the Demand within one business day after receipt of the Demand. If the Escrow Holder does not receive a written objection from the other party to the proposed payment within five (5) business days after the giving of such notice by Escrow Holder, the Escrow Holder is hereby authorized to make the payment set forth in the Demand. If the Escrow Holder does receive such written objection within such period, the Escrow Holder shall continue to hold such amount until otherwise directed by written instructions signed by Seller and Buyer or a final judgment of a court. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause (b) if Buyer delivers a notice to Escrow Holder stating that Buyer has terminated this Agreement on or prior to the expiration of the Contingency Period, then Escrow Holder shall immediately return the Deposit to Buyer without the necessity of delivering any notice to, or receiving any notice from Seller, and Escrow Holder shall do so notwithstanding any objection by Seller. Buyer and Seller, together, shall have the right to terminate the appointment of Escrow Holder hereunder by giving to it notice of such termination, specifying the date upon which such termination shall take effect and designating a replacement Escrow Holder, who shall sign a counterpart of this Agreement. Upon demand of such successor Escrow Holder, the Deposit shall be turned over and delivered to such successor Escrow Holder, who shall thereupon be bound by all of the provisions hereof.
11
(i) U.S. Treasury Regulations. The purchase and sale of the Property is the sale of “reportable real estate” within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.6045-4 (the “Regulation”). Escrow Holder is the “real estate reporting person” within the meaning of the Regulation and shall make all reports to the federal government as required by the Regulation.
(j) Exchange Cooperation. Buyer and Seller (the “Parties”) agree that either of the Parties or both may substitute an intermediary (an “Intermediary”) to act in place of either Party with regards to the sale or purchase of the Property. An Intermediary shall be designated in writing by the Party designating an Intermediary (the “Designating Party”) to the other Party (the “Non-Designating Party”) and Escrow Holder. Upon designation of an Intermediary and upon the Intermediary’s written assumption of the Designating Party’s obligations hereunder, the Intermediary shall be substituted for the Designating Party in the Escrow as the buyer or seller of the Property. The Non-Designating Party agrees to accept performance under this Agreement from the Intermediary and to render its performance of all of its obligations to the Intermediary. The Non-Designating Party agrees that performance by the Intermediary will be treated as performance by the Designating Party, and the Designating Party agrees that the Non-Designating Party’s performance to the Intermediary will be treated as performance to the Designating Party. The Designating Party unconditionally guarantees the full and timely performance by the Intermediary of each and every one of the representations, warranties, indemnities, obligations and undertakings of the Designating Party pursuant to this Agreement. As such guarantor, the Designating Party shall be treated as a primary obligor with respect to such representations, warranties, indemnities, obligations and undertakings, and, in the event of breach thereof, the Non-Designating Party may proceed directly against the Designating Party on this guarantee without the need to join the Intermediary as a party to the action against the Designating Party. The Designating Party unconditionally waives any defense that it might have as guarantor that it would not have if it had made or undertaken such representations, warranties, indemnities, obligations and undertakings directly.
(k) Other Consequences of Exchange. If either of the Parties or both undertakes to designate an Intermediary pursuant to the previous Section 4(j): (i) in no event shall either party be deemed to have given the other party any advice regarding the tax-deferred nature of this transaction or any other advice regarding the treatment of this transaction under federal or state tax laws and both of the Parties shall rely solely on the advice of their own legal and tax advisors; (ii) the Non-Designating Party shall not bear any additional expenses from the Designating Party’s decision to designate an Intermediary; (iii) there shall not be any delay in the Close of Escrow by reason of such designation; and (iv) neither Buyer nor Seller shall be required to take title to any real or personal property other than the Property, and the actual conveyance of the title to the Property shall be directly from Seller to Buyer.
5. Closing Costs.

Seller shall pay (i) the cost of the Survey; (ii) any documentary transfer tax, revenue tax or excise tax (and any surtax thereon) due in connection with the consummation of this transaction; (iii) Seller’s legal, accounting and other professional fees and expenses and the cost of all opinions, certificates, instruments and documents required to be delivered, or to cause to be delivered, by Seller hereunder, including the cost of Seller’s performance of its obligations hereunder; (iv) fifty percent (50%) of all escrow fees of the Escrow Holder and the fees for recording the Deed; (v) all fees (including defeasance fees), charges and expenses imposed or assessed in connection with the payoff or prepayment of all loans secured by a mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Property; and (vi) the cost to record any document or instruments required to be recorded in order for Seller to convey title to the Property as required by this Agreement.
(b) Buyer Costs. Buyer shall pay (i) all costs incurred by Buyer in connection with its investigation of the Property, including the cost of any site inspections or environmental audits;
12
(ii) Buyer’s legal, accounting and other professional fees and expenses and the cost of all certificates, instruments and documents required to be delivered by Buyer hereunder, including the cost of Buyer’s performance of its obligations hereunder; (iii) the cost of any update to the Survey requested by Buyer; and (iv) fifty percent (50%) of all escrow fees of the Escrow Holder and the fees for recording the Deed.
(c) Cost of the Title Policy. Seller shall pay base premium for the Title Policy, with aggregate liability in the amount of the Purchase Price. Buyer shall pay the cost of all additional coverages and endorsements to the Title Policy requested by Buyer for itself or for the benefit of its lender(s).
(d) Other Costs. Any other costs of the Escrow or of closing pertaining to this transaction not otherwise expressly allocated among Buyer and Seller under this Agreement shall be apportioned in the manner customary in the County.
(e) Cancellation of Escrow. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5, if the Escrow fails to close for any reason (other than the breach of this Agreement by one or both of the parties), the reasonable third-party, out-of-pocket costs of the Escrow (not to exceed a total of $1,000) incurred to date shall be borne equally by Buyer and Seller. Otherwise, the party who breached this Agreement first shall bear all the costs of the Escrow.
(f) Post-Closing Adjustments. Any item which cannot be finally prorated because of the unavailability of information shall be tentatively prorated on the basis of the best data then available and adjusted when the information is available in accordance with this Section. If the pro-rations and credits made under the settlement statement shall prove to be incorrect or incomplete for any reason, then either party shall be entitled to an adjustment to correct the same; provided, however, that any adjustment shall be made, if at all, within sixty (60) days after the Close of Escrow or, if later, the close of an applicable real estate tax cycle which determines the amount of real estate taxes applicable to this pro-ration, and if a party fails to request an adjustment to the settlement statement by a written notice delivered to the other party within the applicable period set forth above (such notice to specify in reasonable detail the items within the settlement statement that such party desires to adjust and the reasons for such adjustment), then the pro-rations and credits set forth in the settlement statement shall be binding and conclusive against such party.
6. Prorations and Adjustments. The following shall be prorated and adjusted between Seller and Buyer as of the Close of Escrow except as otherwise specified:
(a) Rents. All rents and other amounts payable to the landlord under the Hospital Lease (“Rents”) shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer, with Seller entitled to such Rents for the period prior to the Close of Escrow and with Buyer entitled to such Rents for the period from and after the Close of Escrow. Rents prepaid for the period as of and following the Close of Escrow shall be credited against the Purchase Price. Any Rents collected by Buyer after the Close of Escrow will apply first to Rents which accrue after the Close of Escrow and then to the Rents which have accrued prior to the Close of Escrow. Subject to the foregoing, if Buyer receives Rents after the Close of Escrow which relate to the period prior to the Close of Escrow to which Seller is entitled under this Section 6(a), Buyer shall promptly remit to Seller all of such amounts. Likewise, Seller shall promptly remit to Buyer all Rents received by Seller after the Close of Escrow to which Buyer is entitled under this Section 6(a).
(b) Operating Expenses; Taxes. As the Hospital Lease is a triple net lease, Buyer and Seller hereby agree and acknowledge that Hospital Tenant is liable for all expenses of the Hospital, including the payment of real and personal property taxes and assessments, and there shall be no credits or prorations at the Close of Escrow with respect to the costs and expenses associated with owning or
13
operating the Hospital. If any such expense is not the responsibility of Hospital Tenant under the Hospital Lease, such expense shall be prorated in the same manner as provided in the preceding Section 6(a).
(c) General. For purposes of calculating prorations, Buyer shall be deemed to be vested with title to the Property for the entire day upon which the Close of Escrow occurs. All such prorations shall be made on the basis of the actual number of days of the month which shall have elapsed as of the Close of Escrow and based upon a 365 day year. Seller shall provide to Escrow Holder such documents or information as may be reasonably required by Escrow Holder and Buyer to calculate such prorations and to prepare the Closing Statement.
7. Title.
(a) Conveyance. Seller shall convey good and indefeasible title to the fee simple interest in the Land and Improvements to Buyer by the Deed at the Close of Escrow free and clear of all liens and encumbrances other than the Permitted Exceptions.
(b) Title Policy. The title to be conveyed to Buyer shall be insured by a Texas T-1 Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance with liability in the amount of the Purchase Price, dated no earlier than the date of the Close of Escrow, issued by the Title Company and insuring that good and indefeasible title to the fee simple interest in the Land and Improvements is vested in Buyer, with such commercially available endorsements as are requested by Tenant, subject only to (i) the standard exclusions, limitations and printed exceptions contained therein, other than those to be removed by Seller’s provision of the title affidavit as required by this Agreement, (ii) non-delinquent real estate taxes and assessments, and (iii) the Permitted Exceptions (the “Title Policy”).

No representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement shall merge into any instrument of conveyance delivered at the Close of Escrow but shall survive the Close of Escrow for a period ending
18
on the Rep Survival Termination Date; provided, however, that if Buyer delivers to Seller a Notice of Breach of Rep on or before the expiration of the Rep Survival Termination Date, and Buyer thereafter files a lawsuit in connection therewith against Seller within sixty (60) days following the Rep Survival Termination Date, then the Rep Survival Termination Date shall be extended with respect to said representation and warranty until the date on which a final judgment is obtained in said lawsuit, beyond any possibility of appeal. Notwithstanding anything herein, if Buyer discovers, prior to or at the Close of Escrow, that any representation or warranty of Seller is false, misleading or inaccurate in any material respect, Buyer may, at its option, terminate this Agreement, in which event Buyer shall be entitled to pursue its remedies under Section 11(a) below (including, without limitation, the right to recover out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with this Agreement, including without limitation Buyer’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, subject to the limitation stated in said Section), and the parties hereto shall be relieved of all liabilities and obligations hereunder except for those obligations that expressly survive termination of this Agreement.

If, however, Buyer elects to proceed with the Close of Escrow notwithstanding such discovery, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived any and all rights of recovery against Seller with respect to such false, misleading or inaccurate representation or warranty, and shall be permanently prohibited from later bringing a claim against Seller as to such discovered matter.

In the event that Seller fails to consummate this Agreement or if Seller fails to perform any of Seller’s other obligations hereunder either prior to or at the Close of Escrow, and such failure or refusal continues for a period of ten (10) business days after the date on which Seller receives Buyer’s written notice of default, or such longer period of time as may be reasonably required to cure such default if, within said ten (10) business day period, Seller commences and thereafter diligently pursue completion of the cure of same, and such failure or refusal results from any reason other than the termination of this Agreement pursuant to a right to terminate expressly set forth in this Agreement or Buyer’s failure to perform Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement, Buyer may, as its sole and exclusive remedies, either (i) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Seller prior to or at the Close of Escrow, in which event (A) Seller shall pay to Buyer all of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with this Agreement, including without limitation Buyer’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, not to exceed the sum of One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) in the aggregate (which obligations shall survive such termination), and (B) Escrow Holder shall pay to Buyer the entire Deposit free and clear of any claims by Seller, and thereafter, neither Seller nor Buyer will have any further duties or obligations to the other hereunder, except as otherwise provided herein; or (ii) enforce specific performance of Seller’s duties and obligations under this Agreement. As a condition precedent to filing an action for specific performance, Buyer must deliver notice to Seller of its intention to file such action within sixty (60) days after the scheduled Close of Escrow and such action must be commenced within one hundred twenty (120) days of the scheduled Close of Escrow. If, following the Close of Escrow, (A) Buyer discovers that any representation or warranty of Seller herein was false, misleading or inaccurate in any material respect when made, or (B) Seller fails to meet, comply with or perform any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Seller hereunder within ten (10) business days of Buyer’s written demand therefor (each of the foregoing referred to as a “Post-Closing Default”), as applicable, and subject to the applicable survival periods set forth herein, Buyer shall have the right to bring an action or proceeding against Seller; provided, however, in no event shall Buyer have any right to bring any action or proceeding against Seller for a Post-Closing Default which asserts a claim for monetary damages unless and until Buyer’s actual, direct damages resulting from such Post-Closing Default exceed the sum of One Million Dollars
20
($1,000,000) in the aggregate (“Damages Floor”), and Buyer hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all claims and rights of recovery Buyer has or may have against Seller with respect to any such Post-Closing Default(s) unless and until Buyer’s actual, direct damages exceed, in the aggregate, the Damages Floor; except that the Damages Floor shall not apply to claims based upon fraud or willful misconduct. For the avoidance of doubt, if Buyer’s actual, direct damages exceed, in the aggregate, the Damages Floor, Buyer shall be entitled to the recovery of all of its damages without reference to any floor or other limitation thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, under no circumstances shall Seller’s liability to Buyer with respect to any and all Post-Closing Defaults exceed the sum of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) in the aggregate. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Close of Escrow.
(b) Default by Buyer. In the event that Buyer fails or refuses to consummate the purchase of the Property pursuant to this Agreement or if Buyer fails to perform any of Buyer’s other obligations hereunder either prior to or at the Close of Escrow, and such failure or refusal continues for a period of ten (10) business days after the date on which Buyer receives Seller’s written notice of default, or such longer period of time as may be reasonably required to cure such default if, within said ten (10) business day period, Buyer commences and thereafter diligently pursue completion of the cure of same, and such failure or refusal results from any reason other than termination of this Agreement pursuant to a right to terminate expressly set forth in this Agreement or Seller’s failure to perform Seller’s obligations under this Agreement, then Seller, as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy, will have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Buyer prior to or at the Close of Escrow, whereupon neither party thereto will have any further rights or obligations hereunder except that the Deposit shall be paid to Seller as liquidated damages, free of any claims by Buyer or any other person with respect thereto. It is agreed that the amount to which Seller is entitled under this Section 11(b) is a reasonable forecast of just compensation for the harm that would be caused by Buyer’s breach and that the harm that would be caused by such breach is one that is incapable or very difficult of accurate estimation.
(c) Waiver of Consequential Damages. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER, OR ANY LOST INCOME OR PROFITS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ARISING FROM BREACH OF CONTRACT OR TORT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE OR IF SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE COULD HAVE BEEN REASONABLY FORESEEN. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSE OF ESCROW OR THE SOONER TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
12. Loss by Fire, Other Casualty or Condemnation. If prior to the Close of Escrow, the Hospital, or any part thereof, is destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty, or is subject to a taking by a public authority, then Buyer shall have the right, exercisable by giving notice to Seller within fifteen (15) days after receiving written notice of such damage or destruction or taking (and if necessary, the Close of Escrow shall be postponed to provide for such 15-day period) to do either of the following: (a) if, (i) as a result of any such fire, casualty or taking, Hospital Tenant has a right to terminate the Hospital Lease, or Hospital Tenant is entitled to an abatement of rent coming due under the Hospital Lease, or (ii) the cost to repair or diminution in value resulting therefrom exceeds $1,000,000 (as determined by a third party selected by Buyer and reasonably approved by Seller), then Buyer may terminate this Agreement, in which case neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder and any money or documents in Escrow shall be returned to the party depositing the same; or (b) accept the Property in its then condition and proceed to close this transaction with no abatement or reduction in the Purchase Price, and Seller shall assign to Buyer at Close of Escrow all of Seller’s
21
rights to any insurance proceeds payable by reason of such damage or destruction or condemnation awards payable by reason of such taking, and shall pay to Buyer and pay to Buyer the amount of any deductible with respect thereto if payable by Seller. If Buyer elects to proceed under clause (b) above, Seller shall not compromise, settle or adjust any claims to such proceeds or awards without Buyer’s prior written consent. Seller agrees to give Buyer prompt notice of any taking, damage or destruction of the Property.
13. Purchase Price Holdback; Repurchase Right.
(a) Holdback Requirement. As of the Close of Escrow, a portion of the Purchase Price in the amount of Seven Million Five Hundred Thirteen Thousand Four Hundred Forty and No/100 Dollars ($7,513,440.00) (the “Holdback Funds”) shall be retained in Escrow, to be disbursed thereafter pursuant to Section 13(b).
(b) Disbursement of Holdback Funds.
(i) Subject to the terms of Section 13(b)(iii), fifty percent (50%) of the Holdback Funds shall be released by Escrow Holder to Seller at such time as (x) the Coverage Ratio for any Test Period following the Close of Escrow is at least 2.0:1 (the “Initial Qualifying Test Period”), and (y) Buyer delivers to Escrow Holder written confirmation that fifty percent (50%) of the Holdback Funds are to be released to Seller. Following the occurrence of the Initial Qualifying Test Period and the release of fifty percent (50%) of the Holdback Funds, and subject to the terms of Section 13(b)(iii), the remaining balance of the Holdback Funds shall be released by Escrow Holder to Seller at such time as (A) the Coverage Ratio for any Test Period following the Initial Qualifying Test Period is at least 2.0:1, and (B) Buyer delivers to Escrow Holder written confirmation that fifty percent (50%) of the Holdback Funds are to be released to Seller. Escrow Holder shall not release any portion of the Holdback Funds until it has received written confirmation from Buyer that Seller is entitled to receive such portion of the Holdback Funds pursuant to the terms of this Section 13(b)(i).
(ii) Promptly following Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s written request, which shall not be made more frequently than quarterly, Buyer shall deliver to Seller the Buyer’s calculation of the Coverage Ratio for the Test Period(s) covered by Seller’s written request. If Buyer’s calculation of the Coverage Ratio for any Test Period following the Close of Escrow is at least 2.0:1, Buyer shall deliver confirmation of same to Seller and Escrow Holder and Escrow Holder thereafter shall release the relevant portion of the Holdback Funds directly to Seller upon Seller’s demand, without the necessity of the execution of any further instructions by either Buyer or Seller. If Buyer’s calculation of the Coverage Ratio for any Test Period following the Close of Escrow is less than 2.0:1, Seller shall have a period of ten (10) business days following receipt of Buyer’s calculation of the Coverage Ratio for such Test Period(s) within which to submit the determination of the calculation of the Coverage Ratio for such Test Period(s) to binding arbitration by delivering written notice of such election to Buyer prior to the expiration of such ten (10) business day period. If Seller timely elects to submit the determination of the Coverage Ratio to binding arbitration, then (x) the Holdback Funds shall be retained in Escrow and (y) the parties shall utilize the process set forth in Schedule 13 to determine the Coverage Ratio for the applicable Test Period(s). If pursuant to Schedule 13 it is determined that the Coverage Ratio was at least 2.0:1 for the applicable Test Period(s), then Buyer shall send written confirmation of same to Escrow Holder and instruct Escrow Holder to release the applicable portion of the Holdback Funds to Seller. If pursuant to Schedule 13 it is determined that the Coverage Ratio was less than 2.0:1 for the applicable
22
period, then the Holdback Funds shall be retained in Escrow and thereafter disbursed pursuant to this Section 13(b).
(iii) Notwithstanding the terms of Sections 13(b)(i) and (ii), if as of and on the Escrow Release Date, (x) any portion of the Holdback Funds have not been released to Seller by the Escrow Release Date, and (y) the parties are not then in the process of utilizing Schedule 13 to determine the Coverage Ratio for any Test Period that ended on or prior to the Escrow Release Date, then upon Buyer’s written demand therefor to Escrow Holder and Seller, Escrow Holder shall release the Holdback Funds or the portion thereof still held by Escrow Holder to Buyer. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, however, if as of and on the Escrow Release Date, the parties are in the process of utilizing Schedule 13 to determine the Coverage Ratio for any Test Period that ended on or prior to the Escrow Release Date, then Escrow Holder shall continue to hold the Holdback Funds then in its possession until such time as it receives from Buyer confirmation that Seller is entitled to receive the Holdback Funds (or any portion thereof) pursuant to the terms of this Section 13.
(c) Right of Repurchase. If any portion of the Holdback Funds have been returned to Buyer pursuant to Section 13(b) above, then Seller shall have the one-time right to repurchase the Property (the “Repurchase Right”) from Buyer in accordance with the following provisions:
(i) Option to Repurchase. Seller shall exercise the Repurchase Right by delivering written notice to Buyer (the “Repurchase Notice”) prior to the date that is thirty (30) days following the Escrow Release Date, time being of the essence. The Repurchase Notice shall be irrevocable once delivered. If Seller fails to timely deliver the Repurchase Notice, then the Repurchase Right automatically shall be null and void. The closing of the transfer of the Property to Seller pursuant to the Repurchase Right (the “Repurchase”) shall occur on the thirtieth (30th) day following the date on which Buyer receives the Repurchase Notice. The closing procedures for the Repurchase shall be as set forth in Section 13(c)(ii) below. Upon the termination of the Repurchase Right provided for in this Section, and notwithstanding the automatic nature of certain termination provisions of this Section 13, at the request of Buyer, Seller shall execute a written, recordable instrument prepared by Buyer confirming that the Repurchase Right is null and void; provided that the failure of Seller to execute such confirmation shall not in any way revive such right or affect the automatic nullification or voiding thereof.
(ii) Closing Procedures. Upon tender of the Repurchase Price to Buyer or its successor in title, Buyer or its successor in title shall convey the Property to Seller or Seller’s designee by special warranty deed in substantially the same form of Exhibit 4(c)(i) attached hereto (excluding any rights of repurchase), free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances and subject to no title exceptions, restrictions, easements or reservations or other title exceptions, other than the Permitted Exceptions. In addition, each of Seller and Buyer shall execute and deliver or cause to be delivered to Escrow Holder in a timely manner to permit the closing of the repurchase the documents and instruments contemplated in Section 4(c) and Section 4(d), as applicable, to facilitate the transfer and conveyance of the Property to Seller provided for in this Section 13(c). The provisions of Section 4(e) and Section 4(f) shall apply to such repurchase.
23

14. Broker’s Commission. Buyer and Seller each represent to the other that they have not entered into any agreement or incurred any obligation which might result in the obligation to pay a sales or brokerage commission or finder’s fee with respect to this transaction, other than (a) NRG Brokerage, LLC (“Seller Broker”), who represents Seller in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement and shall be paid a commission by Seller pursuant to a separate written agreement between Seller and Seller Broker, and (b) Marcus & Millichap and Institutional Property Advisors (collectively, “Buyer Broker”), who represent Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement and shall be paid a commission by Seller pursuant to a separate written agreement between Seller and Buyer Broker equal to one percent (1%) of the Purchase Price net of the Holdback Funds (to be shared equally among the parties comprising Buyer Broker pursuant to a separate written agreement) only if, as and when the Close of Escrow occurs, and that neither party has taken any action which would result in any real estate broker’s, finder’s or other fees or commissions being due and payable to any party with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby.

Buyer and Seller each agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) which the other may incur as a result of any claim made by any person to a right to a sales or brokerage commission or finder’s fee in connection with this transaction to the extent such claim is based, or purportedly based, on the acts or omissions of Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, except that Buyer shall have no obligation to pay, and said indemnification shall not relate to claims asserted by, Buyer Broker.

16. Right of First Refusal. Following the Close of Escrow, Seller shall have a continuing right of first refusal to purchase from Buyer the Property, exercisable at the following times and upon the following conditions:
(a) If, following the Close of Escrow, Buyer or its successor in title receives a bona fide written offer from a third party to purchase the Property that Buyer desires to accept, Buyer or its successor in title shall notify Seller in writing of such offer (“Offer Notice”), which Offer Notice shall include the proposed sales price and all other material terms and conditions of the sale.
(b) Seller shall have a period of ten (10) business days from the date of receipt of the Offer Notice to notify Buyer or its successor in title in writing whether Seller elects to exercise the right of first refusal granted hereby to purchase the Property on the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer Notice. If Seller fails to give written notice to Buyer within the required ten (10) business day period, Seller shall be deemed to have waived its right to purchase the Property, except as provided below. If Seller waives or is deemed to have waived its right to purchase the Property (either by giving written notice thereof or by failing to give any written notice), Buyer shall have the right to sell the Property to such third party or its affiliate upon substantially the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Offer Notice. If the Property is sold to such third party or its affiliate in accordance with the preceding sentence, the right of first refusal of Seller contained herein shall thereafter be null, void and of no further force or effect. However, if the terms and conditions of the proposed sale to such third party or its affiliate are modified such that they no longer are substantially the same as those set forth in the Offer Notice, Seller’s right of first refusal contained in this Section 16 shall be reinstated and Seller shall have the right to exercise its right of first refusal with respect to the Property on such modified terms and condition within five (5) business days after Seller’s receipt from Buyer of the modified terms. Modified
26
terms and conditions shall be deemed to be substantially the same as those contained in the Offer Notice if the purchase price for the modified terms and conditions is at least ninety-five percent (95%) of the purchase price stated in the Offer Notice.
(c) Upon the timely exercise by Seller of its right of first refusal to purchase the Property as provided herein, Buyer and Seller shall, within ten (10) business days after receipt of notice of Seller’s election, diligently proceed in good faith to enter into a Purchase and Sale Agreement and Escrow Instructions for the Property in substantially the same form as this Agreement, for the purchase price and containing such other terms and conditions as were contained in the Offer Notice, and Seller and Buyer shall exclusively and diligently proceed in good faith to consummate the closing of the purchase and sale or the Property in accordance with the terms of such Purchase and Sale Agreement and Escrow Instructions. If, despite having used their respective commercially reasonable and diligent efforts, the parties fail to enter into such Purchase and Sale Agreement and Escrow Instructions before the expiration of said ten (10) business day period, Buyer shall have the right to sell the Property to a third party upon substantially the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Offer Notice. For purposes of this Section 16(c), the purchase by such third party shall be deemed to be upon “substantially the same terms and conditions” if the purchase price to be paid by such third party is at least ninety-five percent (95%) of the purchase price stated in the Offer Notice.
(d) The right of first refusal contained herein shall not apply to (i) transfers of ownership interests in, or any sale involving the ownership of, Buyer or the parent or affiliate of Buyer, (ii) a public offering of ownership interests in Buyer or the parent or affiliate of Buyer, (iii) a recapitalization transaction of any kind involving Buyer or the parent or affiliate of Buyer, (iv) the sale of the Property in a portfolio sale with one or more other properties owned by Buyer of its affiliates, provided the net operating income of the Property is less than twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate net operating income of all properties in the portfolio, or (v) rights exercised by mortgagees in foreclosure or in lieu thereof pursuant to mortgages or other documents executed by Buyer in connection therewith, including the subsequent disposition of the Property by a mortgagee of Buyer or its affiliate or designee that acquires the Property in connection therewith.
(e) This Section 16 shall expressly survive the Close of Escrow.
17. Miscellaneous Provisions.
(a) Incorporation of Prior Agreements. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of Buyer and Seller with respect to the subject matter hereof, and no prior or contemporaneous written or oral agreement or understanding pertaining to any such matter shall be effective for any purpose. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or added to except by an agreement in writing, expressly stating that such agreement is an amendment of this Agreement, signed by the parties to this Agreement or their respective successors in interest; except that no signature of Title Company or Escrow Holder shall be required to amend this Agreement except for an amendment modifying the terms of this Agreement modifying their respective obligations hereunder.
(b) Buyer’s Right to Assign. Buyer shall have the right to assign its rights under this Agreement to any affiliate in whom the title of the Property is to vest. Any assignment permitted by this Section must be in writing, must be furnished to Seller and must provide that the assignee assumes all of the obligations of Buyer under this Agreement.
(c) Attorneys’ Fees. If either party commences an action against the other to interpret or enforce any of the terms of this Agreement or because of the breach by the other party of any of the terms hereof, the losing party shall pay to the prevailing party reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and
27
expenses incurred in connection with the prosecution or defense of such action, whether or not the action is prosecuted to a final judgment. For purposes of this Agreement, the terms “attorneys’ fees” or “attorneys’ fees and costs” shall mean the fees and expenses of counsel to the parties hereto, which may include printing, photostating, duplicating and other expenses, air freight charges, and fees billed for law clerks, paralegals, librarians and others not admitted to the bar but performing services under the supervision of an attorney. The terms “attorneys’ fees” or “attorneys’ fees and costs” shall also include, without limitation, all such fees and expenses incurred with respect to appeals, arbitrations and bankruptcy proceedings, and whether or not any action or proceeding is brought with respect to the matter for which said fees and expenses were incurred.

(e) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto and to their respective transferees, successors and assigns.

The parties, their respective successors and assigns and all third parties shall look solely to the applicable party’s assets for the payment of any claim or any performance, and the parties hereby waive all such personal liability. This Agreement is made and entered into solely for the protection and benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. No other person shall have any right of action hereunder.
(g) Governing Law; Choice of Forum; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of Texas without giving effect to any “conflict of law” rules of such state. Buyer and Seller each acknowledge and agree that the state and associated federal courts in and for Dallas County, Texas shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and decide any dispute, controversy or litigation regarding the enforceability or validity of this Agreement or any portion thereof. BUYER AND SELLER EACH DO HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, OR UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE DOCUMENTS DELIVERED BY BUYER OR SELLER AT CLOSING, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ANY ACTIONS OF EITHER PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED IN ANY MANNER WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PROPERTY (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY ACTION TO RESCIND OR CANCEL THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIMS OR DEFENSES ASSERTING THAT THIS AGREEMENT WAS FRAUDULENTLY INDUCED OR IS OTHERWISE VOID OR VOIDABLE). THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE PARTIES TO ENTER INTO AND ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT AND SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING OF TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
(h) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument. Executed copies hereof may be delivered by facsimile, email or other electronic means and upon receipt will be deemed originals and binding upon the parties hereto, regardless of whether originals are delivered thereafter; provided, however, any party shall deliver an original signature on this Agreement to the other party upon request.
28
(i) Interpretation; Construction. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be valid under applicable law, but, if any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or prohibited thereunder, such invalidity or prohibition shall be construed as if such invalid or prohibited provision had not been inserted herein and shall not affect the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. The language in all parts of this Agreement shall be in all cases construed simply according to its fair meaning and not strictly against the party that drafted such language. Section and paragraph headings of this Agreement are solely for convenience of reference and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
(j) Exhibits; Schedule; Recitals Verified. All Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto are incorporated herein by reference. The Recitals to this Agreement are hereby stated to be true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference.
(k) Waiver by a Party. The waiver of any contingency, representation, warranty, covenant, or other matter or provision hereof may only be made by the party benefited by the same, and the waiver must be in writing, must be signed by the benefited party and must specifically state which matter is being waived.
(l) Further Assurances. In addition to the actions recited herein and contemplated to be performed, executed and/or delivered hereunder, Buyer and Seller agree to perform, execute and/or deliver or cause to be performed, executed and/or delivered any and all such further acts, instruments and assurances as may be reasonably required to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The provisions shall survive the Close of Escrow.

As used in this Agreement, a “business day” shall mean a day other than Saturday, Sunday or any day other than a Holiday on which banking institutions in Dallas, Texas, are authorized by law or other governmental action to close. The term “Holiday” shall mean Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.

In computing any period of time pursuant to this Agreement, the day of the act or event from which the designated period of time begins to run will not be included. If any period expires or delivery date falls on a date that is not a business day under this Agreement, such period shall be deemed to expire and such delivery date shall be deemed to fall on the immediately succeeding business day.
(n) Survival. Any covenants, representations or indemnities set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, those set forth in Section 3(d), Section 4(j), Section 8, Section 9, Section 11, Section 13, and Section 14 and Section 16 above, and in Section 17(o) and Section 17(p) below, shall survive the Close of Escrow or any termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that the respective period of survival of each of such covenants, representations or indemnities shall be solely as provided in the applicable provisions of this Agreement.
(o) Confidentiality. Buyer shall hold, and shall require its agents, employees and representatives to hold, in strict confidence, and Buyer shall not disclose, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prohibit its agents, employees and representatives from disclosing, to any other person without the prior written consent of Seller, (i) the terms of this Agreement and the financial or other condition of the Property or Hospital Tenant, including the terms of the Hospital Lease, (ii) any of the information in respect of the Property or Hospital Tenant delivered to, made available to, or prepared for the benefit of Buyer, whether by its agents, employees and representatives, or by Seller or its agent, employees and representatives, and (iii) the identity of any direct or indirect owner of any beneficial interest in Seller or Hospital Tenant.

Buyer may disclose any and all of such information (x) on a need-to-know basis to its employees, representatives, agents, consultants, members of professional firms serving it or potential lenders, investors, consultants and brokers, on a confidential basis, such terms of this Agreement as are customarily disclosed to such parties in connection with similar acquisitions, (y) as further provided below, as may be required in order to comply with applicable laws, rules or regulations or a court order, or (z) to the extent that such information is a matter of public record. The obligations of Buyer under this Section 17(o) shall automatically terminate effective as of the Close of Escrow; provided, however, Buyer shall not issue (or cause to be issued) following the Close of Escrow any press release stating the Purchase Price, and Buyer shall direct any broker employed or engaged by it to not issue such releases, which obligations shall expressly survive the Close of Escrow. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Buyer is or is an affiliate of, and/or may assign this Agreement to one an entity that is or is an affiliate of, a Real Estate Investment Trust and that, as such, it may be subject to certain filing and reporting requirements in accordance with federal laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, and notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the provisions of any other existing agreement between the parties hereto to the contrary, Buyer may publicly file, disclose, report or publish any and all information related to this transaction that may be reasonably interpreted as being required by federal law or regulation.
(p) Hospital Alterations. Upon the Close of Escrow, during the period of Buyer’s ownership of the Property during the term of the Hospital Lease, Buyer hereby grants to Seller and Seller’s affiliates the first right and opportunity to serve as project manager for Seller, and to provide project management services on behalf of Seller, with respect to any expansions of or material alterations to the Hospital the total cost of which exceeds $500,000, whether initiated by Buyer or Hospital Tenant (“Alterations”), which Buyer has the right pursuant to the Hospital Lease to manage. The foregoing shall apply where the Hospital Lease gives Buyer the right to consent to an Alteration and permits Buyer to condition that consent on the designation of a Buyer-approved manager. Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of any such opportunity prior to the commencement of any design or construction activities related to the proposed Alterations, and for a period of ten (10) business days shall negotiate in good faith with Seller to enter into a mutually acceptable project management agreement; and if, despite having used their respective commercially reasonable and diligent efforts, the parties should fail to enter into such agreement, Seller’s rights hereunder with respect to such specific project automatically shall terminate and be null and void. The obligations of Buyer under this Section 17(p) shall expressly survive the Close of Escrow.
(q) Cooperation with Audit and Comfort Letter. Seller acknowledges that Buyer is affiliated with, or intends to assign all of its rights, title and interest in and to this Agreement, and that the assignee may be affiliated with a publicly registered company (“Registered Company”). Seller acknowledges that it has been advised that if Buyer or its assignee is affiliated with a Registered Company, the Buyer or its assignee may be required to make certain filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC Filings”) that relate to the most recent pre-acquisition fiscal year (the “Audited Year”) and the current fiscal year through the date of acquisition (the “stub period”) for the Property. To assist the Buyer or its assignee in preparing the SEC Filings, Seller covenants to provide the following for a period of one (1) year following the Close of Escrow: (i) access to bank statements of Seller for the Audited Year and stub period; (ii) rent roll for the Property as of the end of the Audited Year and stub period; (iii) operating statements of Seller for the Audited Year and stub period; (iv) access to the general ledger of Seller for the Audited Year and stub period; (v) cash receipts schedule of Seller for each month in the Audited Year and stub period; (vi) access to invoices for expenses and capital improvements initiated by Seller in the Audited Year and stub period; (vii) accounts payable ledger and accrued expense reconciliations of Seller; (viii) check register of Seller for the 3-months following the Audited Year and stub period; (ix) copies of the Hospital Lease and any amendments or modifications thereto and exhibits and schedules attached thereto; (x) copies of all insurance documentation in Seller’s
30
possession or control for the Audited Year and stub period; (xi) copies of accounts receivable aging of Seller as of the end of the Audited Year and stub period along with an explanation for all accounts over 30 days past due as of the end of the Audited Year and stub period; (xii) signed representation letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 17(q)(xii), and (xiii) to the extent necessary, a signed audit letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 17(q)(xiii). The provisions of this Section 17 shall survive the Close of Escrow.
