of record or apparent as Buyer and Title Company may agree (each, a “Title
Policy”) and including such endorsements thereto as Buyer may request and Title

Property. Accordingly, Buyer and/or the applicable Lessee shall be
solely responsible for all such amounts whether accruing prior to or after
the

and
Sellers hereunder. Any adjustments or prorations of such amounts
between Buyer and any Lessee shall be solely between such parties and neither

Rent payable under any Master Lease with respect to any applicable Property,
the
following shall apply:
(a) To
the extent Additional Rent payable for the then-current Lease Year for
any
Property is calculated and determined on the basis of a percentage of Gross
Revenues in excess of the applicable Base Gross Revenues, such Additional
Rent
with respect to such Property shall be equal to the applicable percentage
of
Gross Revenues for such Property for such Lease Year in excess of the applicable
Closing Breakpoint. For purposes of the foregoing, the “Closing
Breakpoint” shall mean the applicable Base Gross Revenues multiplied by a
fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the current Lease
Year
for such applicable Property through, but not including the Closing Date,
and
that the denominator of which is three hundred sixty-five (365).
(b) To
the extent Additional Rent payable for the then-current Lease Year for
any
Property is calculated and determined on the basis of an increase in the
Cost of
Living Index, such Additional Rent shall be determined and paid in accordance
with the applicable provisions of the applicable Master Lease for the number
of
days in such Lease Year through, but not including, the Closing
Date.
(c) In
the event that the amount of Additional Rent payable under such Lease Year
is
subject to either a floor or a ceiling, the amount of such floor or ceiling,
as
the case may be, shall also be prorated based upon a three hundred sixty-five
(365) day year.
(d) Buyer
and Sellers shall cooperate to estimate the proration amount for Additional
Rent
as of the Closing in good faith, and shall submit such amount to Escrow
Holder
at least one (1) business day prior to the Close of Escrow. In
determining such proration amount, Buyer shall be credited with any payments
on
account of Additional Rent previously paid to the applicable Lessor for
the
applicable current Lease Year. Within thirty (30) days after the
Closing Date, Buyer shall cause the applicable Lessee to make a final
calculation of Additional Rent up to the Closing for each applicable Property,
and deliver to Sellers an Officer’s Certificate (as defined in the applicable
Master Lease) setting forth the calculation thereof. Buyer shall
promptly pay or cause the applicable Lessee to pay to Sellers, or if directed
by
Sellers, to the applicable Lessor, any deficiency in the payment of Additional
Rent for each applicable Property, and Sellers shall promptly pay to Buyer
or,
if directed by Buyer, to the applicable Lessee, the amount of any overpayment
of
Additional Rent for any applicable Property.
17
(e) The
obligation to prorate and pay Additional Rent for each applicable Property
shall
survive the Closing.
(f) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Related Property Purchase
Agreement, to the extent the “Leased Property” (as defined in the applicable
Master Lease) of any “Facility” (as defined in the applicable Master Lease) is
being sold by an applicable Seller or its Affiliates pursuant to a Related
Purchase Agreement, all Rent and Charges shall nevertheless be paid over
to the
applicable Lessor pursuant to this Agreement by the applicable Lessee on
the
Closing Date and all Minimum Rent and Additional Rent shall be prorated
under
this Agreement, as if such “Leased Property” of such Facility is being conveyed
hereunder, as provided herein and not under any Related Purchase Agreement,
but
such proration shall nevertheless be reflected on the Closing Settlement
Statements being executed and delivered in connection with each Related
Purchase
Agreement Closing.

expenses. If the Closing does not occur by reason of Sellers’ default
hereunder, then in such event Sellers shall be responsible for any title

undertake the following at or promptly after the Close of Escrow:

elect to sell one or more of the Properties to Buyer in the form of a
tax-deferred exchange pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue

to
exercise its remedies pursuant to Section 7.2 below.
20
7.1.2 Termination
by Sellers. If Sellers disapprove any of the conditions
set forth in Section 5.4 above, then Escrow and this Agreement shall
automatically terminate upon receipt by Buyer and Escrow Holder of Sellers’

provided, however, that if there is a failure of (a) any of the conditions
set
forth in Sections 5.4.5 or 5.4.6 or (b) any of the conditions set forth
in
Sections 5.4.2, 5.4.3, or 5.4.4 that results from a breach or a default

or

terminating this Agreement and Escrow pursuant to this Section 7.1.2, Sellers
shall be entitled to exercise their remedies pursuant to Section 7.2
below. In addition, without limiting the foregoing, the parties
acknowledge and agree that the occurrence of any event of the type described
in
Section 5.4.1(a) or in the second sentence of Section 5.4.4 above that
results
in the failure of the conditions set forth therein shall also constitute
and be
deemed a default by Buyer under this Agreement entitling Sellers to exercise
their remedies pursuant to Section 7.2 below.
7.1.3 Rights
and Obligations Upon Termination for Failure of
Conditions. If Escrow and this Agreement are terminated
in the manner and within the applicable time period(s) provided pursuant

shall
be returned to the party depositing the same, (b) Buyer shall return all

or
Liabilities whatsoever to the other party concerning the purchase and sale
of
the Property pursuant to this Agreement, except for those Liabilities which
are
expressly stated in this Agreement to survive termination.
7.2
Termination by Reason of
Default. If the Closing fails to occur when and as
provided in Section 6 above by reason of a breach or default (or deemed
default
as provided in the last sentence of either of Section 7.1.1 or Section
7.1.2
above) of either party of any of its duties, obligations, representations
or
warranties under this Agreement, then the non-defaulting party may elect,
by
written notice to the defaulting party and to Escrow Holder, to terminate
Escrow
and this Agreement, and the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit, and all interest thereon,
shall be delivered to the non-defaulting party promptly after the Effective
Termination Date. Such termination shall be effective five (5) days
after delivery of such notice (the “Effective Termination Date”);
provided, that (i) the non-defaulting party has performed or is in a
position to perform all obligations on its part to be performed as of the
Effective Termination Date other than those obligations which the non-defaulting
party is prevented from having performed by reason of the defaulting party’s
breach or default; and (ii) the defaulting party has not cured the default
and the non-defaulting party has not waived such default by the Effective
Termination Date. Except as otherwise provided below in this Section
7.2 and Section 6.6.5 above, Escrow Holder and the parties shall, upon
such
termination, return all of the other party’s funds and documents then held by
them to the party depositing or delivering the same. Thereafter, each
of the parties shall be discharged and released from all obligations and
Liabilities except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.2 and Section
6.6.5
above and except for those obligations and Liabilities which are expressly
intended to survive the termination of this Agreement, including those
Liabilities set forth in Section 12.2 below.
21
7.2.1 Seller’s
Damages. If the Closing fails to occur by reason of a
breach or default of this Agreement by Buyer, then Sellers may terminate
this
Agreement as of the Effective Termination Date as provided in Section 7.2
above,
in which case Buyer shall be Liable for the cancellation and other charges
and
expenses as provided for in Section 6.6.5 and the Xxxxxxx Money
Deposit (plus all accrued interest and any other amounts earned thereon)
shall
be delivered to Sellers as liquidated damages and not as a
penalty. BUYER RECOGNIZES THAT IF THE CLOSING FAILS TO OCCUR BY
REASON OF A BREACH OR DEFAULT OF THIS AGREEMENT BY BUYER, SELLERS SHOULD
BE
ENTITLED TO COMPENSATION FOR THE DETRIMENT CAUSED THEREBY. HOWEVER,
BOTH PARTIES AGREE THAT IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND IMPRACTICAL TO ASCERTAIN
THE EXTENT OF THE DETRIMENT AND TO AVOID SUCH DIFFICULTIES, THE PARTIES
AGREE
THAT, IF BUYER FAILS TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTIES AND SUCH FAILURE CONSTITUTES
A
BREACH OF BUYER’S OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, SELLERS SHALL BE ENTITLED TO THE
XXXXXXX MONEY DEPOSIT AND ANY ACCRUED INTEREST AND ANY OTHER AMOUNTS EARNED
THEREON AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE
CONTRARY, AND EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 12.2 BELOW, THE PARTIES AGREE
THAT
SUCH AMOUNT STATED AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES SHALL BE IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER
RELIEF TO
WHICH SELLERS MIGHT OTHERWISE BE ENTITLED BY VIRTUE OF BUYER’S FAILURE TO
PURCHASE THE PROPERTIES IN THE EVENT SUCH FAILURE CONSTITUTES A BREACH
OF
BUYER’S OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER.

Remedies. If the Closing fails to occur by reason
of a breach or default of this Agreement by Sellers, then Buyer may either
(a)
terminate this Agreement as of the Effective Termination Date as provided
in
Section 7.2 above, in which case the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit, plus all accrued
interest and any other amounts earned thereon, shall be promptly delivered
to
Buyer, and Sellers shall be liable for the cancellation and other charges
and
expenses provided for in Section 6.6.5, or (b) enforce specific performance
of
the obligations of Seller hereunder; provided, however, that any action by
Buyer to seek such specific performance must be commenced within thirty
(30)
calendar days of the occurrence of the alleged default by Sellers; provided
further, however, that, except as provided in Section 6.6.5, in no event
whatsoever shall Sellers ever have any Liability (whether in law or equity)
for
damages as a result of a default by Sellers under this Agreement.
7.3 Relationship
to Master Leases. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no termination of this Agreement
and
Escrow by Sellers or Buyer regardless of the reason therefor shall affect
the
rights or obligations of any applicable Lessor or Lessee under any applicable
Master Lease, each which Master Lease shall remain in full force and effect
(and
unmodified by the applicable Summerville Master Lease Amendment or any
Master
Lease Termination, as applicable), following any such termination of this
Agreement prior to the Closing.

to
demand a reduction in purchase price based upon the existence of any redhibitory

intended use or any other use, based upon any eviction of Buyer, in whole

part, or based upon any other claimed breach of warranty or other matter
whatsoever, this transfer being otherwise entirely at Buyer's sole peril
