(b) If Purchaser or its attorneys shall determine that the Initial Commitment does not meet the requirements specified above, or that title to the Real Property is unsatisfactory to Purchaser for reasons other than the existence of Permitted Title Exceptions or exceptions which are to be discharged by Seller at or before Closing, then Purchaser shall notify Seller by the end of the Due Diligence Period (as herein defined) of those liens, encumbrances, exceptions or qualifications to title which either are not Permitted Title Exceptions, are unsatisfactory to Purchaser or are not contemplated by this Agreement to be discharged by Seller at or before Closing, and any such liens, encumbrances, exceptions or qualifications shall be hereinafter referred to as “Title Defects.”
(c) Purchaser, at Purchaser’s expense, may order an update to the surveys of the Real Property (the “Surveys”) previously provided to Purchaser, and Seller hereby grants Purchaser and Purchaser’s agents the right to access the Real Property as may be reasonably required to perform such work upon reasonable advance notice to Seller. The Surveys shall be prepared by a land surveyor duly licensed and registered as such in the state the Real Property is located, (i) shall be certified by such surveyor to Purchaser, Seller, each parties’ legal counsel and the Title Company, (ii) shall reference the Initial Commitment file number, (iii) shall set forth the legal description of the Real Property precisely as it appears in the Initial Commitment (or the Initial Commitment must be endorsed so that the insured legal description mirrors the legal description in the Surveys, if applicable), (iv) shall identify whether or not each matter referenced in the Initial Commitment applies to the Real Property, (v) shall depict the boundaries of each such item that is capable of being depicted on the Surveys, (vi) shall depict any Improvements located upon the Real Property, (vii) shall show all easements, rights-of-way, setback lines, encroachments and other matters affecting the use or development of the Real Property (viii) shall include the original signature and seal of the surveyor, and (ix) shall be in a form satisfactory to the Title Company to eliminate the standard survey exceptions from the title insurance policy to be issued at Closing. Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing within ten (10) business days after receipt of the Surveys of any Title Defects identified on the Surveys specifying any matters shown on the Surveys which was not set forth on the survey previously delivered to Purchaser and which adversely affect the title to the Real Property and the same shall thereupon be deemed to be Title Defects hereunder.
(d) Within five (5) business days of receipt from Purchaser of a written notice of any Title Defects, together with a copy thereof, Seller shall notify Purchaser as to whether it will cure such objection, and if it elects to cure any such objection, it shall in good faith diligently endeavor to satisfy or correct, at Seller’s expense, such objection on or before the date of Closing to the satisfaction of Purchaser and the Title Company in such a manner as to permit the Title Company to either endorse the
9 |
Initial Commitment or to issue a replacement commitment to eliminate the Title Defect therefrom. Failure of Seller to give such notice within five (5) business day period shall be deemed to be an election not to cure such objection. In the event Seller does not elect to satisfy or cure any objection of which it is notified, then within five (5) business days after receipt of written notice of Seller’s election, or within five (5) business days after the expiration of Seller’s five (5) business day notification period if Seller fails to give any such notice, Purchaser shall by written notice to Seller elect one of the following:
(i) to accept Seller’s interest in the applicable Purchased Property subject to such objections, in which event such title and survey objections shall become part of the Permitted Title Exceptions, and to close the transaction contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
(ii) to terminate this Agreement in its entirety and receive a refund of the Deposit; or
(iii) The failure of Purchaser to give written notice of its election to either accept the Purchased Property subject to such objections or to terminate this Agreement within the applicable five (5) business day period shall be deemed an election to terminate this Agreement and to receive a refund of the Deposit.
(e) In the event Seller elects in writing to cure any title or survey objection and thereafter is unable, after acting diligently and in good faith, to effect such cure, on or before the date of Closing, then Purchaser shall have, as its sole remedy, the options described in Section 2.4(d) above. Seller shall have no obligation under this Section 2.4(e) to expend monies or to institute litigation to cure Title Defects except those which may be satisfied solely by the payment of money prior to or at Closing and arising by, through, or under Seller (and not as the result of Purchaser's actions or wrongful omissions).
(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller covenants and agrees that at or prior to Closing, Seller shall (i) pay in full and cause to be canceled and discharged or otherwise bond and discharge as liens against the Purchased Property all mechanics’ materialmen’s, repairmen’s, contractors’ or other similar Liens which encumber the Purchased Property as of the date hereof created by, through or under Seller or which may be filed against the Purchased Property after the date hereof created by, through or under Seller and on or prior to the Closing Date (ii) except as set forth in Section 2.4(h) below pay in full all past due ad valorem taxes and assessments of any kind constituting a lien against the Purchased Property which are due and payable, and (iii) pay in full or cause to be canceled and discharged all security deeds or other security instruments encumbering the Purchased Property and all judgments which have attached to and become a lien against the Purchased Property by, through or under Seller. In the event Seller fails to cause such liens and encumbrances to be paid and canceled at or prior to Closing, Purchaser shall be entitled to pay such reasonable amount to the holder thereof as may be required to pay and cancel same, and to credit against the Purchase Price the amount so paid.
(g) Except as set forth on Schedule 2.4(g), Seller has not granted any license, lease, easement or other right relating to the use or possession of the Real Property, (except (i) under the Residency Agreements entered into by Seller in the ordinary course of business between the Effective Date and the Closing Date); or (ii) as may be set forth in the Title Commitment, and Seller agrees that it shall not grant any such right prior to Closing without the prior written approval of Purchaser, which may be withheld in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion.
(h) Seller hereby discloses that it is currently contesting the ad valorem tax assessment for the Facility located in Jupiter, in accordance with applicable law (the “Jupiter Tax Contest”). In the
10 |
event the Jupiter Tax Contest has not been resolved prior to Closing and to the extent the requirements of such proceeding did not require Seller make prepayment of the taxes being contested, Seller shall escrow with Seller's or Buyer's counsel (as may be agreed by the parties) an amount equal to 125% of the unpaid taxes at issue in the Jupiter Tax Contest (the “Jupiter Tax Escrow”) pending resolution of the Jupiter Tax Contest proceeding. The Jupiter Tax Escrow shall secure Seller’s obligation under this Agreement to satisfy taxes assessed against the Jupiter Facility with regard to tax periods prior to the year of Closing. Upon completion of the Jupiter Tax Contest and presentation to the escrow holder of the Jupiter Tax Escrow funds of reasonable evidence of the results thereof, the Jupiter Tax Escrow shall be disbursed within ten (10) days, first to satisfy any tax obligations to governmental authorities arising from the resolution of the Jupiter Tax Contest and then the remainder of the Jupiter Tax Escrow funds to Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller’s obligation to pay and indemnify Purchaser for ad valorem taxes for the Jupiter Facility for tax years other than the year of Closing shall not be limited to the amount of funds in the Jupiter Tax Escrow.
Section 2.5 Assumed Liabilities. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date, Purchaser shall assume and agrees to pay, perform or discharge only the Assumed Liabilities. Other than the Assumed Liabilities, Purchaser shall not assume any of Seller’s debts, obligations or liabilities, of any kind or nature, including without limitation any civil claims or other legal proceedings or legal or regulatory investigations or actions arising out of or during Seller’s ownership, use, operation or management of the Business or any of the Purchased Property or the Excluded Property, all of which Seller shall pay, perform and discharge when due. Nothing in this Section 2.5 shall be deemed to preclude either party from contesting any liability or obligation in good faith through the appropriate process.
Section 2.6 Excluded Liabilities.
All of Seller’s debts, obligations and liabilities, other than the Assumed Liabilities, including any liability, obligation, claim, action, suit, or proceeding pending as of the Closing Date, or any subsequent claim, action, suit, or proceeding arising out of or relating to any such other event occurring prior to the Closing, with respect to the ownership or operation of its businesses prior to the Closing Date, including, without limitation, any obligation of Seller described in Section 2.5 above and any obligations of the Seller Parties for compliance with applicable federal, state, county, and local tax laws or regulations, including the obligations under such laws for the payment of taxes and the filing of tax returns, under Part 6 of Title I of ERISA and Section 4980B of the IRC, as amended (commonly known as “COBRA”), the Seller Plans, the Fair Labor Standards Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Americans With Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, or state worker’s compensation and unemployment compensation laws, as now or hereafter amended, and any liabilities related to any overpayment (regardless of reason for such overpayment), adjustment of payments received or non-compliance under any Government Program, are collectively referred to herein as the “Excluded Liabilities.”

(c) Purchaser shall deposit the Holdback Amount into an interest-bearing escrow account with the Escrow Agent pursuant to an Escrow Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Post-Closing Escrow Agreement”). The funds held pursuant to the Post-Closing Escrow Agreement shall be available according to the terms of the Post-Closing Escrow Agreement to secure any obligations of Seller to Purchaser hereunder, including without limitation Seller’s obligations pursuant to Section 3.4(d) and Section 8.1 hereof.
(i) In the absence of claims for specific identified unpaid liabilities or obligations of Seller which are within the purview of the Post-Closing Escrow Agreement, the total anticipated unpaid exposure for which exceeds One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00) in the aggregate, the Holdback Amount shall be reduced to One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00) at the end of the ninth (9th) calendar month following the Closing Date and the remainder of the initial undisbursed Holdback Amount in excess of such amount shall be promptly released to Seller.

Any adjustments to the Purchase Price provided herein that are attributable solely to one or more particular Facilities (or, as applicable, the St. Petersburg Raw Land) shall result in a pro rata adjustment of the Purchase Price allocated to such Facilities (or, as applicable, the St. Petersburg Raw Land).
(b) Additionally, the parties acknowledge that the transactions contemplated hereunder must be reported in accordance with Section 1060 of the IRC. The parties shall report the transactions contemplated hereunder for all purposes in accordance with the purchase price allocation set forth on Schedule 3.3 hereto, which schedule the parties acknowledge and agree will be completed during the Due Diligence Period. The parties shall share information and cooperate to the extent necessary to permit the transactions to be properly, timely, and consistently reported.
(c) During the Due Diligence Period and as a condition to Seller's obligation to proceed to Closing, the parties shall in good faith agree upon specific allocations of the Purchase Price amongst the following classifications of property and further allocated amongst the entities comprising Seller: (i) Real Property (land, buildings, fixtures), (ii) tangible personal property, other than motor vehicles, (iii) motor vehicles, and (iv) intangible personal property.
Section 3.4 Prorations.
(a) The following items shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as of 11:59 p.m. on the date immediately preceding the Closing Date; prorations credited to Purchaser shall reduce the Purchase Price and prorations credited to Seller shall increase the Purchase Price at Closing as follows:
(i) city, state, and county ad valorem taxes for the year in which the Closing occurs based on the ad valorem tax bills for the Purchased Property, if then available for such year, or if not, then on the basis of the ad valorem tax xxxx for the Purchased Property for the immediately preceding year. (If such proration is based on an ad valorem tax xxxx for the immediately preceding year and should such proration prove to be inaccurate on receipt of the ad valorem tax xxxx for the Purchased Property for the year of Closing, then either Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, may demand at any time after Closing a payment from the other party in an amount sufficient to correct such malapportionment);
(ii) sanitary sewer taxes and utility charges, if any; provided, however, that Purchaser shall, prior to Closing, make arrangements for its own utility services and accounts to the extent reasonably possible and sufficiently in advance of Closing so as to allow the provider thereof to read all meters for utility charges as of the end of the last business day preceding the Closing Date and terminate Seller's service without interruption of service to the Facility, in which case Seller shall be responsible for and shall pay for all such charges first accruing or relating to the period prior to the Closing Date;
(iii) all payment obligations under the Assumed Contracts and Leases; and
14 |
(iv) resident rents and other revenues (including Prepaids and Deposits, if any).
Purchaser and Seller shall prepare a proposed schedule (the “Proration Schedule”) prior to Closing, including the items listed above and any other items the parties determine necessary. Such Proration Schedule shall include all applicable income and expenses with regard to the Purchased Property. Seller and Purchaser will use all reasonable efforts to finalize and agree upon the Proration Schedule at least two (2) business days prior to Closing.
(b) Seller shall receive all income from the Purchased Property attributable to the period prior to the Proration Date (as herein defined) and shall, unless otherwise provided for in this Agreement, be responsible for all expenses of the Purchased Property attributable to the period prior to 11:59 P.M. on the date immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Proration Date”). In the event Purchaser receives any payment from a resident for rent due for any period prior to the Proration Date or payment of any other receivable of Seller, Purchaser shall forward such payment to Seller. For the first three (3) months following the Proration Date, any payments received from a resident shall be allocated first to any current balances due from such resident for the then-current month, and then toward the oldest sums due from such resident. After such three-month period, Purchaser may allocate the entire amount of any payments received from a resident to current balances from such resident that have accrued subsequent to the Proration Date and shall thereafter forward any additional amounts attributable to past-due amounts accruing prior to the Proration Date to Seller. For clarity's sake with respect to the St. Petersburg Facility, the parties agree that amounts received from third party payors such as Medicare and Medicaid shall be applied to the periods for which such payment is remitted as stated thereon, and the amount thereof promptly forwarded to the party (Seller or Purchaser) entitled to the benefit of income from such Facility for the period as to which such third party payment was paid.
(c) Purchaser shall receive all income from the Purchased Property attributable to the period from and after the Proration Date and shall, except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, be responsible for all expenses of the Purchased Property attributable to the period from and after the Proration Date. In the event Seller or Seller’s affiliates receive any payment from a resident for rent due (or any other payment due Purchaser) for any period from and after the Proration Date, Seller shall forward such payment to Purchaser.
(d) The parties agree that any amounts that may become due under this Section 3.4 shall be paid at Closing as can best be determined. A post-Closing reconciliation of prorated items shall be made by the parties within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date and any amounts due at that time shall be promptly forwarded to the respective party to whom such amounts are due in a lump sum payment. Any additional amounts which may become due after such determination shall be forwarded at the time they are received. Any amounts due under this Section 3.4 which cannot be determined within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date (such as, for example, fiscal year-end real estate taxes) shall be reconciled as soon thereafter as such amounts can be determined. Purchaser and Seller agree that each shall have the right to audit the records of the other in connection with any such post-Closing reconciliation. Any payments made pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall be treated as a purchase price adjustment for income tax purposes.

(i) In the event that Seller’s delivery of any Requested Diligence Materials is delayed beyond the Diligence Materials Due Date, or in the event Purchaser has provided notice to Seller that any purported response to the requirements of this Section 4.1(b) is insufficient in Purchaser’s reasonable discretion (which notice shall be specific in its description of allegedly missing materials), the Due Diligence Period shall be extended by the total number of days which elapse between:
(1) the last to occur of: (x) the Diligence Materials Due Date or (y) the date upon which Purchaser specifically identifies insufficiencies in the Requested Diligence Materials provided by Seller; and

Purchaser, as well as its consultants and contractors, shall at Seller’s
17 |
request provide evidence of sufficient insurance to protect Seller from any losses it might incur as a result of Purchaser’s activities incurred in connection with such inspections.
(d) The parties hereto acknowledge that Seller may possess or have access to certain information subject to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and any regulations promulgated thereunder (“HIPAA”). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Seller shall have no obligation under this Agreement to disclose to Purchaser any information which would violate or put Seller in a position of noncompliance with any city, county, state or federal privacy or security act, law, or regulation or the provisions of HIPAA or which would result in Seller breaching any contractual provisions imposed on Seller with respect to the requirements of HIPAA and/or any such city, county, state, or federal act, law or regulation.
(e) Purchaser may perform or cause to be performed a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment of any portion of the Real Property (the “Phase I ESA”).

Any subsequent amendments thereto will also be provided to Seller within five (5) business days after completion and receipt by Purchaser thereof.

A Phase II ESA consists of further investigation of recognized environmental conditions identified in the Phase I ESA including sampling and analysis of soil and groundwater necessary to determine whether or not contamination has occurred. Seller’s consent to conduct a Phase II ESA shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Seller permits Purchaser to conduct a Phase II ESA, Seller will be provided a copy of the Phase II ESA within five (5) days of completion and receipt by Purchaser. Any subsequent amendments and/or reports relating to the Phase II ESA shall also be delivered to Seller and Purchaser.

(f) Take commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the Purchased Property in the same condition as it exists as of the Effective Date, except for ordinary wear and tear, in a manner consistent with past practices.
(g) Not default on any loans to Seller or secured by any Purchased Property which are not fully cured or satisfied at Closing.

All of Purchaser’s representations and warranties under this Agreement shall survive for a period of fourteen (14) months following the Closing Date, provided, however, that any claim for which Seller has given written notice prior to expiration of such fourteen (14) month anniversary shall survive until finally adjudicated; and further provided that Purchaser’s right to make any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(c) shall not expire.
(c) For purposes of determining the amount of Losses that are subject to indemnification hereunder with respect to any events, facts or circumstances, after determining whether or not such facts, events or circumstances give rise to a breach of a representation or warranty (after giving full effect to any qualifications as to materiality or similar standards, or of lack of “material adverse effect,” contained in
40 |
such representation and warranty), the determination of the amount of Losses for such breach of representation and warranty, as it relates to such facts, events or circumstances, shall be made without giving effect to any qualifications as to materiality or similar standards, or the lack of “material adverse effect” contained in such representation or warranty.
(d) Any payments made pursuant to ARTICLE 8 of this Agreement shall be treated as a purchase price adjustment for income tax purposes.
Section 8.4 Procedures Regarding Third Party Claims. The procedures to be followed by Purchaser and Seller with respect to indemnification hereunder regarding claims by third parties shall be as follows:
(a) Promptly after receipt by Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding or the assertion of any claim by a third person, which the party receiving such notice has reason to believe may result in a claim by it for indemnity pursuant to this Agreement, such person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice of such action, proceeding or claim to the party against whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”), setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of such action or claim, including copies of any written correspondence from such third person to such Indemnified Party.
(b) The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, at its own expense, to assume and control such defense with counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party and approved by the Indemnified Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in such defense after such assumption at the Indemnified Party’s own expense. Upon assuming such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall have full rights to enter into any monetary compromise or settlement which is dispositive of the matters involved; provided that such settlement is paid in full by the Indemnifying Party and will not have any continuing material adverse effect upon the Indemnified Party.
(c) With respect to any action, proceeding or claim as to which the Indemnifying Party shall not have exercised its right to assume the defense, the Indemnified Party may assume and control the defense of and contest such action, proceeding or claim with counsel chosen by it. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such action, the cost of such participation to be at its own expense. The Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party to the extent that such fees and expenses relate to claims as to which indemnification is due under Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 hereof, as the case may be. The Indemnified Party shall have full rights to dispose of such action and enter into any monetary compromise or settlement; provided, however, in the event that the Indemnified Party shall settle or compromise any claims involved in the action insofar as they relate to, or arise out of, the same facts as gave rise to any claim for which indemnification is due under Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 hereof, as the case may be, it shall act reasonably and in good faith in doing so.
(d) Both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with one another in connection with the defense, compromise or settlement of any such claim, proceeding or action, including, without limitation, by making available to the other all pertinent information and witnesses within its control.
41 |
Section 8.5 General Qualifications on Indemnification. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the indemnification rights set forth in Section 8.1 and Section 8.2 shall be subject to the following:
(a) The liability of an Indemnifying Party with respect to any indemnification claim shall be reduced by the amount of any tax benefit actually realized or any insurance proceeds received by Indemnified Party as a result of any damages, upon which such claim is based, and shall include any tax detriment actually suffered by the Indemnified Party as a result of such damages. The amount of such tax benefit or detriment shall be determined by taking into account the effect, if any, and to the extent determinable, of timing differences resulting from the acceleration or deferral of items of gain or loss resulting from such damages.
(b) Damages shall include actual damages and shall not include any special, punitive, multiplied or consequential damages, or lost profits, except to the extent the same are included in a third-party judgment against the Indemnified Party, the right to which is hereby waived by both parties.
(c) Upon payment in full of any indemnification claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to the rights of the Indemnified Party against any person or entity with respect to the subject matter of such indemnification claim.
(d) An Indemnified Party may not recover for any losses otherwise indemnifiable under Section 8.1(a), Section 8.1(b), Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(b) if such Indemnified Party had actual (and not imputed) knowledge prior to Closing of the breach, inaccuracy or failure giving rise to such losses.
(e) An Indemnifying Party shall be relieved of its duty to indemnify an Indemnified Party hereunder if and to the extent the Indemnified Party fails to use commercially reasonable efforts in good faith to mitigate its damages, including, but not limited to, failure to give timely notice to its insurance carriers and to pursue recovery under applicable policies of insurance.
(f) Any amounts due to Purchaser from Seller pursuant to this ARTICLE 8 shall be paid first from the Holdback Amount in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, until the Holdback Amount has been exhausted or released.
Section 8.6 Exclusivity. Following the Closing, in the absence of actual fraud on the part of either party (in which case the other party may avail itself of statutory and common law remedies for fraud), the right to receive indemnification under this ARTICLE 8 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Purchaser or Seller for monetary damages of any kind with respect to the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement (including any certificate certifying the truth or accuracy of any provision of this Agreement) or conduct otherwise relating to the negotiation and consummation of the purchase and sale of the Purchased Property and Business hereunder. This provision shall not, however, be deemed to limit either party's remedies for any breach of the other party's post-closing obligations under the Post-Closing Management Agreement or any other document or instrument executed at Closing which provides for performance by a party from and after Closing, including without limitation any breach of Section 10.7 hereof.
Section 8.7 Effective Upon Closing. The provisions of this ARTICLE 8 shall become effective upon completion of the Closing, and shall have no force and effect prior to the Closing or if this Agreement is terminated prior to Closing.
42 |
ARTICLE 9
Default and Termination
Section 9.1 No Default Termination.
This Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby may be terminated at any time prior to Closing as follows:
(a) in its entirety by mutual written agreement of Seller and Purchaser;
(b) in its entirety if a court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental agency shall have issued an order, decree, or ruling or taken any other action (which order, decree or ruling the parties hereto shall use their best efforts to lift), in each case permanently restraining, enjoining, or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such order, decree, ruling, or other action shall have become final and nonappealable; or
(c) by the Purchaser in its entirety if any Seller representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement (other than the conditions contained in Section 5.2 hereof) are untrue or become untrue in any material respect, which breach cannot be or has not been cured within five (5) business days after the giving of written notice by the Purchaser to the Seller specifying such breach.
Upon termination of this Agreement prior to Closing in accordance with this Section 9.1, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Purchaser shall be entitled to a refund of the Deposit and the parties shall have no further liability hereunder except that the following provisions of this Agreement shall survive any such termination: Section 4.1(c), Section 4.5, and Section 4.6(b)(vi).
Section 9.2 Default by Purchaser.
If any time prior to Closing Purchaser defaults under this Agreement (and Seller has not defaulted under this Agreement) and all conditions precedent and contingencies to Purchaser’s obligation have been satisfied, then as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy, Escrow Agent (after first giving Purchaser three (3) business days prior written notice) shall pay to Seller the Deposit. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that it is impossible to estimate precisely the damages which might be suffered by Seller upon Purchaser’s default and that the Deposit represents a reasonable estimation of such damages. Seller’s retention of the Deposit is intended not as a penalty, but as full liquidated damages as provided under state law. The right to receive and retain the Deposit as full liquidated damages is Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event of default hereunder by Purchaser (excluding, however, Purchaser’s indemnity under Section 4.1(c) above), and Seller (except with respect to such indemnity) hereby covenants that Seller shall not xxx Purchaser: (a) for specific performance of this Agreement, or (b) to recover actual damages in excess of the Deposit. The Deposit shall constitute the stipulated damages of Seller, and Purchaser shall thereupon be relieved of all further obligations and liabilities arising out of this Agreement (except as otherwise specifically provided herein), it being agreed that the actual damages of Seller are impossible to ascertain and said amount represent the reasonable damages of Seller.
Section 9.3 Default by Seller.
43 |
So long as Purchaser has not defaulted under this Agreement and all conditions precedent and contingencies to Seller’s obligations hereunder have been satisfied, in the event: (x) Seller breaches this Agreement in any material respect, or (y) any representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement is untrue, false or incorrect in any material respect when made or reaffirmed by Seller, or (z) Seller shall not have performed any of Seller’s obligations herein set forth in any material respect, then as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy, Purchaser shall be entitled to elect either to:
(a) close the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, thereby waiving such breach, default or failure, provided, however, Purchaser may cure any breach, default, or failure of Seller, which is susceptible to cure by the payment of money and deduct from the Purchase Price all sums so paid by Purchaser, together with all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser in effecting such cure;
(b) postpone Closing hereunder for thirty (30) days, or such longer period of time as Purchaser may designate (subject to Seller’s approval of such longer period, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), during which time any such breach, default or failure shall be cured by Seller and if not then cured, Purchaser may (and shall) elect either to proceed under Section 9.3(a), Section 9.3(c), or Section 9.3(d) hereof;
(c) seek specific performance of this Agreement and of Seller’s obligations, duties and covenants hereunder; or
(d) terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit, thereby waiving any right hereunder to seek damages. Provided, however, in the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 9.3(d), Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for Purchaser’s actual out of pocket third party expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with its due diligence activities upon reasonable evidence thereof within fifteen (15) days following notice of Purchaser's termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.3(d); provided, however, such reimbursement by Seller shall not exceed a total of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 U.S. Dollars ($250,000.00) in the aggregate.
Section 9.4 Survival; No Right to Damages.
(a) Except as expressly set forth herein, upon termination of this Agreement prior to Closing in accordance with Section 9.1, Section 9.2, or Section 9.3 above, and except as otherwise expressly provided herein, following which termination the parties shall have no further liability under this Agreement, provided, however, that the following provisions of this Agreement shall survive any such termination: Section 4.1(c), Section 4.5, and Section 4.6(b)(vi).
(b) Except as expressly set forth herein to the contrary, neither party shall have any right to seek damages for or on account of this Agreement or the breach hereof.

Any party may change the address to which notices are to be sent to it by giving written notice of such change of address to the other parties in the manner herein provided for giving notice. Notice given by a party's attorney in accordance with this Section 10.2 shall (a) constitute notice from said party, and (b) not be considered an improper direct contact from the sending attorney to a "person known to be represented by counsel".
Section 10.3 Good Faith; Cooperation. The parties shall in good faith undertake to perform their obligations in this Agreement, to satisfy all conditions and to cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be carried out promptly in accordance with its terms. The parties shall cooperate fully with each other and their respective representatives in connection with any actions required to be taken as part of their respective obligations under this Agreement.
Section 10.4 Assignment; Exchange Cooperation; Successors in Interest. Neither Purchaser nor Seller may assign any of their respective rights hereunder, except with the prior written consent of the other (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that without additional consent from Seller prior to the Closing Purchaser may assign its rights under this Agreement in whole or in part, to any affiliate or related entity of Purchaser, including without limitation the special purpose entities identified in Schedule 10.4 attached hereto. Any such assignee shall be deemed to have made the same representations to Seller. This Agreement is binding upon the parties and their respective successors or assigns and inures to the benefit of the parties and their permitted successors and assigns. Any assignment of this Agreement shall not serve to release AMERICAN REALTY CAPITAL VII, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company from any obligation or liability hereunder nor shall any partial assignment of this Agreement serve to limit the Seller's rights or remedies hereunder or Seller's recourse to the entirety of the Deposit for and on account of any breach of this Agreement by any Purchaser.
Section 10.5 No Third Party Beneficiaries. The parties do not intend to confer any benefit under this Agreement on anyone other than the parties, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to confer any such benefit on any other person, including any current or former employee or agent of Seller or any dependent or beneficiary of any of them.
Section 10.6 Severability. Any determination by any court of competent jurisdiction of the invalidity of any provision of this Agreement that is not essential to accomplishing its purposes shall not affect the validity of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect and which shall be construed as to be valid under applicable law.
Section 10.7 Purchaser Records Rights. Upon Purchaser’s request, for a period of one (1) year after Closing, Seller shall make the financial statements, including balance sheets, income statements, stockholders’ equity statements and cash flow statements and related notes prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting standards, and any and all books, records, correspondence, financial data, leases, delinquency reports and all other documents and matters maintained by Seller or its agents and relating to receipts, expenditures, contributions and distributions reasonably necessary to complete an audit pertaining to the Purchased Property for the three (3) most recent full calendar years and the interim period of the current calendar year (collectively, the “Records”) available to Purchaser and/or its auditors for inspection, copying and audit by Purchaser’s designated accountants, and at Purchaser’s expense. Seller shall provide Purchaser and/or its auditors, but without expense to Seller,
46 |
with copies of, or access to, such factual and financial information as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser or its designated accountants, and in the possession or control of Seller, to enable Purchaser to file any filings required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with the purchase of the Purchased Property. Seller understands and acknowledges that Purchaser is required to file audited financial statements related to the Purchased Property with the SEC within seventy-one (71) days of the Closing Date and agrees to provide any records and requested reasonable representations and/or certifications to the Purchaser’s auditors, on a timely basis to facilitate Purchaser’s timely submission of such audited financial statements. The provisions of this Section 10.7 shall survive Closing.
Section 10.8 Controlling Law; Integration; Amendment; Waiver.
(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws and case decisions of the State of Florida applicable to contracts made and to be performed therein.
(b) This Agreement and the other contracts, documents and instruments to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement supersede all prior negotiations, agreements, information memoranda, letters of intent and understandings between the parties with respect to their subject matter, whether written or oral, constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to their subject matter, and may not be altered or amended except in writing signed by Purchaser and Seller. Neither of the parties has made or relied upon any representation, warranty or assurances in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder other than those expressly made herein.
(c) The failure of any party at any time or times to require performance of any provision of this Agreement shall in no manner affect its right to enforce the same, and no waiver by any party of any provision (or of a breach of any provision) of this Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances shall be deemed or construed either as a further or continuing waiver of any such provision or breach or as a waiver of any other provision (or of a breach of any other provision) of this Agreement.
Section 10.9 Time. Time is of the essence with respect to this Agreement.
Section 10.10 Survival. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything contrary in this Agreement, Section 1.3, Section 4.5, Section 4.6, Section 4.7, Section 4.9, Section 4.11, Section 5.8, ARTICLE 8, and ARTICLE 10 of this Agreement shall survive the Closing of this Agreement.
Section 10.11 Eminent Domain - Condemnation. If, prior to Closing, all or portion of Real Property comprising at least five percent (5%) of the Real Property associated with any Facility or the St. Petersburg Raw Land, as applicable, is subject to an eminent domain or condemnation proceeding, Seller, immediately upon learning thereof, shall give written notice to Purchaser. Thereafter, Purchaser shall have a period of thirty (30) days within which to elect, by written notice to Seller, to terminate this Agreement in its entirety. Upon any such termination, the entire Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, and the Agreement shall become null and void in its entirety. If no such election is timely made, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its rights under this paragraph, except that, if the transaction contemplated hereby closes, Purchaser shall be entitled to the proceeds or the right to negotiate, settle and collect the proceeds of such condemnation award, and Seller shall execute and deliver all documents reasonably requested of Seller in order to effectuate this section.
Section 10.12 Risk Of Loss. Seller assumes all risks and liability for loss, damage, destruction or injury by fire, storm, accident or any other casualty to the Real Property from all causes until the Closing
47 |
has been consummated. In the event of any damage or destruction prior to Closing at any Facility with an estimated repair cost of greater than one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the Purchase Price allocated to such Facility pursuant to Section 3.3(a) hereof, Purchaser shall have the option exercisable by written notice to Seller within thirty (30) days after Purchaser is notified of such casualty, to terminate this Agreement by notice thereof to Seller, in which case the parties shall have no further rights or obligations under the Agreement and the entire Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser; or Purchaser may elect to close this transaction and, in such event Purchaser shall be entitled to receive the full amount of any proceeds of such insurance payable on account of loss, damage or destruction after the date hereof and Seller shall be liable for the payment to Purchaser of all deductibles under applicable insurance policies. Seller covenants to execute such assignments, drafts and other instruments as may be required to effectuate this Section 10.12 hereof.
Section 10.13 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event either party brings an action to enforce or interpret any of the provisions of this Agreement, the “prevailing party” in such action shall, in addition to any other recovery, be entitled to its reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses arising from such action and any appeal or any bankruptcy action related thereto, whether or not such matter proceeds to court. For purposes of this Agreement, “prevailing party” shall mean, in the case of a person asserting a claim, such person is successful in obtaining substantially all of the relief sought, and in the case of a person defending against or responding to a claim, such person is successful in denying substantially all of the relief sought.
Section 10.14 Covenant Not to Compete. For a period of three (3) years following the Closing, each party comprising the Seller agrees that neither it nor any its affiliates, or other entities which any party comprising the Seller controls, is controlled by or is under common control with, shall, directly or indirectly, develop, own, invest in, finance, manage or franchise any facility similar to the Business within a radius of five (5) miles from any portion of the Real Property. For the avoidance of doubt and without limitation, any facility operating as an assisted living facility and/or memory care facility, an independent living facility, and/or a skilled nursing facility shall be deemed to be similar to the Business for purposes of this Section 10.14. The provisions of this Section 10.14 shall survive Closing.
Section 10.15 Waiver of Jury Trial. The parties agree that no party to this Agreement shall seek a jury trial in any lawsuit, proceeding, counterclaim or other litigation based upon, or arising out of, this Agreement or the dealings or the relationship between them.
Section 10.16 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 with the advice of counsel to the preparation of this Agreement.
Section 10.17 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original. This Agreement may be executed by counterpart signatures and all counterpart signature pages shall constitute a part of this Agreement. Delivery of a counterpart hereof via facsimile transmission or by electronic mail transmission, including but not limited to an Adobe file format document (also known as a PDF file), shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

Each party to this Agreement is sometimes referred to herein individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”
RECITALS:
A. Purchaser and Seller are parties to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of the ___ day of August, 2014 (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Purchaser has agreed to purchase from Seller certain skilled nursing facilities and related assets located in the State of Florida and the State of Kentucky, as more particularly described therein.
B. Purchaser has deposited with the Escrow Agent certain Escrowed Funds described herein. The Parties intend that the Escrow Agent shall hold and disburse the Escrowed Funds in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the execution of this document and the mutual promises and covenants made herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby mutually acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

2. ESCROWED FUNDS
(a) Escrowed Funds. Purchaser has deposited with the Escrow Agent and Escrow Agent hereby acknowledges receipt of Three Million and No/100 U.S. Dollars ($3,000,000) (the “Escrowed Funds”). The Escrow Agent shall hold and disburse the Escrowed Funds in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
3. ESCROW AGENT
(a) Appointment of Escrow Agent. Seller and Purchaser hereby appoint the Escrow Agent, with a mailing address of Xxx Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 0000 Xxxxxx, XX 00000,

The Escrow Agent is not required to secure the performance of its duties by bond or otherwise. Seller and Purchaser hereby release the Escrow Agent from all liability for any punitive, incidental, consequential, or other damages or obligations to them for any act or omission by the Escrow Agent or any of its agents, partners, or employees performed in good faith in the exercise of its or their best judgment and in a manner reasonably believed by it or them to be authorized or within the duties, rights, powers, privileges, or direction conferred on the Escrow Agent by this Agreement, except for willful misconduct, negligence, tortious conversion of any Escrowed Funds or documents, instruments or items, if any, delivered to the Escrow Agent hereunder, or breach of this Agreement by the Escrow Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the responsibilities of the Escrow Agent are further defined, limited, and qualified by the following:
(1) the duties and obligations of the Escrow Agent will be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement is not to be interpreted or construed to impose on the Escrow Agent any implied duties, covenants, or obligations;
(2) the Escrow Agent may execute any of its rights, powers, or responsibilities under this Agreement either directly or by or through its agents, partners, employees, or attorneys, and it will not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by an authorized agent, partner, employee, or attorney of it, unless it is proven that the Escrow Agent was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts or in employing or supervising the agent, partner, or employee;
(3) the Escrow Agent will not be liable to any person with respect to any action taken, suffered, or omitted by it in accordance with this Agreement or in accordance with written instructions signed by Seller and Purchaser or an order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, except to the extent arising as a result of Escrow Agent’s negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement;
(4) the Escrow Agent may rely on any document given to it pursuant to this Agreement without verifying the authenticity of it, the genuineness of any signature on it, or the authority of the person signing the document or purporting to give it to the Escrow Agent, and the Escrow Agent is not obligated to examine or pass upon the validity, execution, binding effect, or sufficiency of either this Agreement or any amendment or supplement to it, so long as the Escrow Agent shall in good faith believe the same to be genuine, to have been signed or presented by the person or parties purporting to sign the same and to conform to the provisions of this Agreement;
(5) the Escrow Agent will be free from any liability when acting in good faith in accordance with any written advice or opinion received from legal counsel, an independent certified public accountant, or other expert rendering advice or an opinion within his area of expertise, except to the extent arising as a result of Escrow Agent’s negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement;
(6) nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to impose on the Escrow Agent any liability to any person as a result of any failure of the Escrow Agent to qualify to do business or to act as a fiduciary or otherwise in any jurisdiction; and
(7) the Escrow Agent is not under any duty to give the Escrowed Funds held in escrow by it pursuant to this Agreement any greater degree of care than it gives its own similar property, and the Escrow Agent makes no representation as to the value, validity or genuineness, of any document or instrument delivered to it.
(c) Disbursement of Escrowed Funds.
(1) Upon Closing. Upon Closing (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, Purchaser and Seller shall jointly deliver to the Escrow Agent irrevocable wire transfer instructions and the Escrow Agent shall release and deliver the Escrowed Funds to the parties identified in such instructions in accordance with such instructions. Such instructions may be delivered via facsimile.
(2) Upon Termination of Purchase Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall immediately disburse the Escrowed Funds (i) to Purchaser or Seller, as provided in joint written instructions from Purchaser and Seller to the Escrow Agent, which instructions are delivered pursuant to Section 3.1(c) or 3.1(d) of the Purchase Agreement or (ii) to Purchaser, in the event that Purchaser terminates the Purchase Agreement pursuant to Section 3.1(e) of the Purchase Agreement.
(3) Pursuant to Court Order. The Escrowed Funds shall be paid in accordance with a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction, from which no appeal has been taken and appeal time expired or, if taken, has become final.
(d) Escrow Controversy. If a controversy arises before, during, or after the term of this Agreement with respect to the Escrowed Funds or other documents, instruments or items, if any, delivered to the Escrow Agent hereunder, or the application of any of them, the Escrow Agent may do either or both of the following: (i) withhold further performance by it pursuant to Section 3(c)(1) or (2) above until the Escrow Agent receives the joint written
instructions of Seller and Purchaser, in which case the Escrow Agent may act in accordance with such joint written instructions, or (ii) commence or defend any action or proceeding for or in the nature of interpleader. If a suit or proceeding for or in the nature of interpleader is brought by or against it, the Escrow Agent may deliver all funds, if any, and other property held by it under this Agreement into the registry of the court and thereupon will be released and discharged from all further obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement.
(e) Reimbursement and Indemnification of Escrow Agent. Purchaser and Seller shall indemnify the Escrow Agent and hold it harmless, upon demand, from all cost, loss, damage, expense, and liability (including reasonable legal fees and expenses and amounts paid in settlement) suffered or incurred by it in connection with, or arising out of, the escrow under this Agreement, including any attributable to a suit or proceeding for or in the nature of interpleader brought by or against the Escrow Agent, except to the extent arising as a result of Escrow Agent’s negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement. Other than the foregoing, Escrow Agent shall not be entitled to any fee or compensation for the services rendered hereunder.
(f) Discretion of Escrow Agent to File an Interpleader Action in the Event of Dispute. If any Parties to this Agreement shall be in disagreement about the interpretation of this Agreement, or about their rights and obligations, or the propriety of any action contemplated by the Escrow Agent hereunder, the Escrow Agent may, but shall not be required to, file an action of interpleader in a court of competent jurisdiction (as “Court”) and deposit the Escrowed Funds or other documents, instruments or items, if any, delivered to the Escrow Agent hereunder in the registry of the Court. The Escrow Agent shall be indemnified for all costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by it, in connecting with the aforesaid interpleader action, and the Escrow Agent shall be fully protected in suspending all or part of its activities under this Agreement until a final judgment or other appropriate order in the interpleader action is received.
The Escrow Agent, in the event it is in doubt about its duties and obligations hereunder as Escrow Agent, shall also have the right, but not the duty, to so notify in writing Seller and Purchaser and, thereafter, the Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to deliver or release any of the Escrowed Funds or other documents, instruments or items, if any, delivered to the Escrow Agent hereunder unless: (i) Seller and Purchaser have jointly directed the Escrow Agent to deliver the Escrowed Funds or other documents, instruments or items, if any, delivered to the Escrow Agent hereunder, or (ii) a final order by a court of competent jurisdiction, from which no appeal has been taken and appeal time expired or, if taken, has become final, to which Escrow Agent, Purchaser and Seller are all parties, has been entered directing the Escrow Agent to take certain action with respect to the Escrowed Funds or other documents, instruments or items, if any, delivered to the Escrow Agent hereunder.
(g) Resignation of Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent may resign upon thirty (30) days written notice to Seller and Purchaser. If a successor escrow agent is not appointed by Seller and Purchaser within this thirty (30) day period, the Escrow Agent may, but shall have no duty to, petition a Court to name a successor. If no successor escrow agent is appointed within thirty (30) days after such written notice, the Escrow Agent may withhold performance by it
pursuant to Sections 3(c)(1) or (2) above until such time as a successor escrow agent is appointed and, at such time, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrowed Funds or other documents, instruments or items, if any, delivered to the Escrow Agent hereunder to any such successor escrow agent; provided, however, the Escrow Agent shall act in accordance with any joint written instructions from Seller and Purchaser. The Escrow Agent may be removed, with or without cause, by the Purchaser and Seller acting jointly at any time by providing written notice to the Escrow Agent.

Article
I.
ESCROW AGENT
1.1. Appointment of Escrow Agent. The Seller and Purchaser hereby appoint the Escrow Agent, with a mailing address Xxx Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 0000 Xxxxxx, XX 00000 as
the Escrow Agent hereunder to receive, hold and disburse the Escrowed Funds, and to otherwise perform the duties of the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement. Escrow Agent hereby accepts its appointment as the escrow agent and agrees to receive, hold and disburse the Escrowed Funds (as defined below) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and will not disburse or otherwise transfer any portion of the Escrowed Funds to any person other than pursuant to the express provisions hereof.
1.2. Establishment of Escrow Fund. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, and as a requirement of the Closing (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), Purchaser shall deposit immediately available funds equal to the Holdback Amount (together with all earnings thereon, hereinafter referred to as the “Escrowed Funds”) with the Escrow Agent, in accordance with Section 3.2(c) of the Purchase Agreement.
1.3. Escrow Agent Responsibilities. The Escrow Agent executes this Agreement solely for the purpose of accepting the escrow created hereby, on the terms and conditions set forth in it, and undertakes to perform the duties, but only the duties, specifically set forth herein. Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrowed Funds in an interest bearing account with Xxxxxxx Title Guaranty Company. The Escrowed Funds shall be kept invested in (a) direct thirty-day or less obligations of the United States of America or thirty-day or less obligations the principal of and the interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed by the United States of America, or (b) with the prior written consent of Seller and Purchaser, in any institutional money market fund or depository money market offered by the Escrow Agent, including any institutional money market fund or depository money market managed by the Escrow Agent or any of its affiliates. The account shall be held in a national financial institution reasonably acceptable to both Seller and Purchaser in the name of Escrow Agent but shall not be the property of the Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent shall have no liability for any loss which may result from any failure of the institution in which the Escrowed Funds are placed; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event of a loss resulting from the failure of the financial institution in which the Escrowed Funds are placed, Seller and Purchaser shall have the same remedies generally available to depositors of the financial institution, including, without limitation, all remedies available at law or in equity, and such loss shall not affect Purchaser’s obligations of payment pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Escrow Agent is not required to secure the performance of its duties by bond or otherwise. The Seller and Purchaser hereby release the Escrow Agent from all liability for any punitive, incidental or consequential damages to them for any act or omission by the Escrow Agent or any of its agents, partners, or employees performed in good faith in the exercise of its or their best judgment and in a manner reasonably believed by it or them to be authorized or within the duties, rights, powers, privileges, or direction conferred on the Escrow Agent by this Agreement, except for willful misconduct, negligence, tortious conversion of any Escrowed Funds or documents, instruments or items, if any, delivered to the Escrow Agent hereunder, or breach of this Agreement by the Escrow Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the responsibilities of the Escrow Agent are further defined, limited, and qualified by the following:
(a) the duties and obligations of the Escrow Agent will be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement is not to be interpreted or construed to impose on the Escrow Agent any implied duties, covenants, or obligations;
(b) the Escrow Agent may execute any of its rights, powers, or responsibilities under this Agreement either directly or by or through its agents, partners, employees, or attorneys, provided that the Escrow Agent will be liable for any act or omission by any such agent, partner, employee, or attorney of it to the same extent it would have been liable had it committed or allowed such act or omission;
(c) the Escrow Agent will not be liable to any person with respect to any action taken, suffered, or omitted by it in accordance with this Agreement or in accordance with written instructions signed by the Seller and Purchaser or an order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, except to the extent arising as a result of Escrow Agent’s negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement;
(d) the Escrow Agent may rely on any document given to it pursuant to this Agreement without verifying the authenticity of it, the genuineness of any signature on it, or the authority of the person signing the document or purporting to give it to the Escrow Agent, and the Escrow Agent is not obligated to examine or pass upon the validity, execution, binding effect, or sufficiency of either this Agreement or any amendment or supplement to it, so long as the Escrow Agent shall in good faith believe the same to be genuine, to have been signed or presented by the person or parties purporting to sign the same and to conform to the provisions of this Agreement;
(e) the Escrow Agent will be free from any liability when acting in good faith in accordance with any written advice or opinion received from legal counsel, an independent certified public accountant, or other expert rendering advice or an opinion within his area of expertise, except to the extent arising as a result of Escrow Agent’s negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement;
(f) nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to impose on the Escrow Agent any liability to any person as a result of any failure of the Escrow Agent to qualify to do business or to act as a fiduciary or otherwise in any jurisdiction; and
(g) the Escrow Agent is not under any duty to give the Escrowed Funds held in escrow by it pursuant to this Agreement any greater degree of care than it gives its own similar property, and the Escrow Agent makes no representation as to the value, validity or genuineness, of any document or instrument delivered to it.
1.4. Disbursement of Escrowed Funds.
(a) From time to time on or before the end of the day that is fourteen (14) months after the Effective Date (provided, however, that if such date is a weekend day or a day on which banks in New York, New York are ordinarily closed, the next following day that is not a weekend day or a day on which banks in New York, New York are ordinarily closed (a
“Business Day”)) (the applicable date, the “Final Disbursement Date”), Purchaser may give notice (a “Notice”) to Seller and the Escrow Agent specifying in reasonable detail the nature and dollar amount of any indemnifiable claim (a “Claim”) Purchaser may have under the Purchase Agreement. Purchaser may only deliver a Notice if it determines in good faith that the Claim is adequately supported by fact and permitted under the Purchase Agreement. Within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt by Seller and Escrow Agent of the Notice regarding such a Claim, Seller may give notice to Purchaser and Escrow Agent disputing any Claim (a “Counter Notice”), if Seller determines in good faith that Seller has objection to the Claim that is adequately supported by fact and permitted under the Purchase Agreement. If a Counter Notice is timely given, the Claim shall be resolved as provided in Section 1.4(b). If no Counter Notice is timely given, then at the end of such fifteen (15) day period, Escrow Agent shall pay to Purchaser the dollar amount of the Claim set forth in the Notice from (and only to the extent of) the Escrowed Funds. The Escrow Agent shall not inquire into or consider whether a Claim complies with the requirements of the Purchase Agreement.
(b) If a Counter Notice is timely given with respect to a Claim, Escrow Agent shall make payment with respect to such claim only in accordance with (i) joint written instructions of Seller and Purchaser, or (ii) a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction, from which no appeal has been taken and appeal time expired or, if taken, has become final.
(c) On the first Business Day after the Final Disbursement Date, the Escrow Agent shall pay and distribute to the Seller the amount remaining after subtracting from the balance of the Escrowed Funds as of the end of the Final Disbursement Date (or if the Final Disbursement Date is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) the aggregate dollar amount of any Claims (as shown in the Notices of such Claims) timely delivered and remaining pending as of the Final Disbursement Date.
(d) At any time, the Escrow Agent shall pay part or all of the Escrowed Funds in accordance with a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction, from which no appeal has been taken and appeal time expired or, if taken, has become final.
1.5. Escrow Controversy. If a controversy arises before, during, or after the term of this Agreement with respect to the Escrowed Funds or other documents, instruments or items, if any, delivered to the Escrow Agent hereunder, or the application of any of them, the Escrow Agent may do either or both of the following: (i) withhold further performance by it under Section 1.4(b), (c) or (d) above until the Escrow Agent receives the joint written instructions of Seller and Purchaser, in which case the Escrow Agent may act in accordance with such joint written instructions, or (ii) commence or defend any action or proceeding for or in the nature of interpleader. If a suit or proceeding for or in the nature of interpleader is brought by or against it, the Escrow Agent may deliver all funds, if any, and other property held by it under this Agreement into the registry of the court and thereupon will be released and discharged from all further obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement.
1.6. Reimbursement and Indemnification of Escrow Agent. Purchaser and Seller shall indemnify the Escrow Agent and hold it harmless, upon demand, from all cost, loss, damage,
expense, and liability (including reasonable legal fees and expenses and amounts paid in settlement) suffered or incurred by it in connection with, or arising out of, the escrow under this Agreement, including any attributable to a suit or proceeding for or in the nature of interpleader brought by or against the Escrow Agent, except to the extent arising as a result of Escrow Agent’s negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement. Other than the foregoing, Escrow Agent shall not be entitled to any fee or compensation for the services rendered hereunder.
1.7. Discretion of Escrow Agent to File an Interpleader Action in the Event of Dispute. If any Parties to this Agreement shall be in disagreement about the interpretation of this Agreement, or about their rights and obligations, or the propriety of any action contemplated by the Escrow Agent hereunder, the Escrow Agent may, but shall not be required to, file an action of interpleader in a Court (defined below) and deposit the Escrowed Funds or other documents, instruments or items, if any, delivered to the Escrow Agent hereunder in the registry of the Court. The Escrow Agent shall be indemnified for all costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by it, in connecting with the aforesaid interpleader action, and the Escrow Agent shall be fully protected in suspending all or part of its activities under this Agreement until a final judgment or other appropriate order in the interpleader action is received. The exclusive venue for all actions under this Agreement shall be a court of competent jurisdiction in Orange County, Florida (a “Court”).
The Escrow Agent, in the event it is in doubt about its duties and obligations hereunder as Escrow Agent, shall also have the right, but not the duty, to so notify in writing the Seller and Purchaser and, thereafter, the Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to deliver or release any of the Escrowed Funds or other documents, instruments or items, if any, delivered to the Escrow Agent hereunder unless: (i) the Seller and Purchaser have jointly directed the Escrow Agent to deliver the Escrowed Funds or other documents, instruments or items, if any, delivered to the Escrow Agent hereunder, or (ii) a final order by a court of competent jurisdiction, from which no appeal has been taken and appeal time expired or, if taken, has become final, to which Escrow Agent, Purchaser and Seller are all parties, has been entered directing the Escrow Agent to take certain action with respect to the Escrowed Funds or other documents, instruments or items, if any, delivered to the Escrow Agent hereunder.
1.8. Resignation of Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent may resign upon thirty (30) days written notice to the Seller and Purchaser. If a successor escrow agent is not appointed by the Seller and Purchaser within this thirty (30) day period, the Escrow Agent may, but shall have no duty to, petition a Court to name a successor. If no successor escrow agent is appointed within thirty (30) days after such written notice, the Escrow Agent may withhold performance by it under Section 1.4(b), (c) or (d) above until such time as a successor escrow agent is appointed and, at such time, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrowed Funds or other documents, instruments or items, if any, delivered to the Escrow Agent hereunder to any such successor
escrow agent; provided, however, the Escrow Agent shall act in accordance with any joint written instructions from the Seller and Purchaser. The Escrow Agent may be removed, with or without cause, by the Purchaser and Seller acting jointly at any time by providing written notice to the Escrow Agent.

Any purchase by Manager made pursuant to or otherwise ancillary to this Agreement shall be made with Manager acting as agent for and at the expense of the Facility or Licensee. Licensee acknowledges that Manager is not a merchant and thus is not making any representations or

If Manager provides written notice to Tenant and Licensee of a deficiency in Working Capital and submits an estimate of additional Working Capital that is needed, Licensee shall provide such additional Working Capital to Manager no later than ten (10) business days after Licensee’s receipt of a written request for same. In the event Tenant or Licensee disputes Manager’s request for additional Working Capital by written notice delivered to Manager within such ten (10) business day period, the dispute shall be submitted to the Expert as provided in Section 18.14 below, and Licensee’s duty to fund such additional Working Capital shall be tolled until such time as the Expert renders its decision.

20 |
connection with the collections and/or enforcement set forth in this Section 5.03, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, shall be included in Facility Expenses as a legal expense.

Not later than sixty (60) days before the end of each Fiscal Year after the Commencement of Management Services during the Term, Manager shall prepare in advance and deliver to Tenant and Licensee for approval by Tenant and Licensee, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, a capital expenditure and operations budget for the next Fiscal Year for the Facility (in which each proposed expenditure will be designated either as required or desirable), setting forth an estimate of Total Facility Revenues and Facility Expenses, together with an explanation of anticipated changes to resident charges, payroll rates and positions, non-wage cost increases, and all other factors differing from the current Fiscal Year. The budget, as proposed (the “Annual Operating Budget”), shall be considered by Tenant and Licensee and, in consultation between Tenant, Licensee and Manager, the budget for the Facility for the ensuing Fiscal Year will be prepared by the Manager with the final contents of the budget to be determined mutually by Tenant, Licensee and Manager, and once so determined shall be the Approved Operating Budget for the ensuing Fiscal Year.

If consensus cannot be reached between the parties as to the Approved Operating Budget within sixty (60) days of Tenant’s and Licensee’s receipt of the proposed Annual Operating Budget, the matter shall be submitted to the Expert pursuant to Section 18.14 below, to determine whether Tenant and Licensee unreasonably withheld or delayed its approval of the proposed Annual Operating Budget or, if Tenant’s withholding or delay of approval was reasonable, to determine the Approved Operating Budget, and such determination shall be final and binding on the parties. If the Expert determines that Tenant and/or Licensee unreasonably withheld or delayed such approval, the proposed Annual Operating Budget shall be deemed the Approved Operating Budget. The Approved Operating Budget shall include an exhibit detailing the proposed rental amounts by unit type, concessions, projected absorption and other material terms (the “Leasing Guidelines”).

Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement and except for expenditures relating to the health and safety of Residents or Facility employees, Manager shall not make expenditures for any item aggregating materially in excess of the amount budgeted, defined as more than the greater of five percent (5%) and Ten Thousand and NO/100 Dollars ($10,000.00) and for work undertaken by vendors with whom Manager and its Affiliates have a national agreement or relationship, Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) of the total expense sum of each operating expense category as set forth in the Approved Operating Budget (which categories shall be as follows: (i) marketing expenses, (ii) administration expenses, (iii) utilities, (iv) operating and maintenance expenses, (v) taxes and insurance, and (vi) elderly/congregate expenses), without prior written approval of Tenant and Licensee.

(v) The amount of the annual FF&E Reserve Payment shall be equal to $500 per year for each residential unit.
The contributions for the FF&E Reserve Payment are estimates based upon Manager’s prior experience with the Facility. As the Facility ages, these amounts may not be sufficient to keep the FF&E Reserve at the levels necessary to make the replacements and renewals to the Facility’s FF&E, or to make the repairs to the Facility buildings of the nature described in Section 10.02(d), which are required to maintain the Facility in a first-class condition. If any estimate of any such costs (a “Repairs and Equipment Estimate”) prepared in good faith by Manager exceeds the available funds in the FF&E Reserve, the anticipated deficit amount shall be included in the proposed annual Operating Budget for the ensuing year, and if included in the Approved Operating Budget for that ensuing year, in accordance with Article VII, the payment of the special addition to the FF&E Reserve will be treated as a Facility Expense.
(vi) Any failure or refusal by Licensee to fund the amounts necessary to maintain the Facility in appropriate condition within a thirty (30) day period after Manager’s request therefor may be submitted by Manager to the Expert, pursuant to Section 18.14 below, to determine whether such failure or refusal was unreasonably withheld or delayed, and if the Expert determines that such failure or refusal was unreasonably withheld or delayed, Licensee shall be deemed to have approved and shall be obligated to fund such amounts.
12.3. Building Alterations, Improvements, Renewals and Replacements.
(i) Manager shall prepare an annual estimate in the Capital Budget of the expenses necessary for major repairs, alterations, improvements, renewals and replacements (which repairs, alterations, improvements, renewals and replacements are not among those referred to in Section 10.02(c)) to the structure or exterior facade of the Facility, or to the mechanical, electrical, heating, ventilating, air conditioning, plumbing, or vertical transportation elements of the Facility buildings which expenditures, together with all other repair, maintenance and replacement expenditures to the Facility which are classified as capital expenditures under GAAP and are not among those referred to in Section 10.02(d), are, to the extent approved by Licensee and Tenant in the Capital Budget, collectively referred to as “Non-Routine Capital Expenditures”. Manager shall submit such Capital Budget to Licensee and Tenant as part of the proposed Annual Operating Budget for Licensee’s and Tenant’s approval pursuant to Section 7.01 above.
(ii) Manager shall be authorized to use funds in the FF&E Reserve without receiving Licensee’s and Tenant’s prior consent, to the extent required, in Manager’s reasonable business judgment, for reasonable assessment, remedial and preventive action (i) as a result of Legal Requirements or as otherwise required for the continued safe and orderly operation of the Facility, (ii) due to an emergency threatening the Facility, its Residents, patients, guests, invitees or employees, (iii) because the continuation of a given condition will subject Licensee, Owner, Tenant or Manager to civil or criminal
26 |
liability, or (iv) to undertake appropriate assessment, remedial and preventive actions sufficient to meet any guidelines or regulations adopted by applicable Government Agencies in connection with any material adverse change to the Facility, such as material changes to any environmental condition, including, without limitation, bio-contaminants such as mold, including, with respect to mold contamination, the removal of the mold, abatement of the underlying cause of the mold (including water intrusion), and repair of any leaks associated with water damage at the Facility. Manager shall, as soon as reasonably practical under the circumstances, notify Licensee, Tenant and Owner of the existence of any such condition, and of any action that Manager has taken and any costs it has paid or incurred utilizing the FF&E Reserve under this Section 10.03(b). Manager shall cooperate with Licensee and Tenant in the pursuit of any such action, and Licensee and Tenant shall have the right to participate therein. Licensee shall replenish the FF&E Reserve of the Facility, to the extent funds from the FF&E Reserve were used in connection with any such remedial action within thirty (30) days after Licensee’s receipt of written notice from Manager of the amount of such costs.
(iii) The cost of all Non-Routine Capital Expenditures referred to in Section 10.03(a) shall be paid, to the extent reasonably possible (given the requirement, set forth hereinabove that the FF&E at the Facility be replaced in accordance with good, first-class standards), from the FF&E Reserve, and Licensee shall pay such costs from its own funds only to the extent there are not adequate funds for such purpose in the FF&E Reserve only to the extent they have been approved in writing by Licensee and Tenant and in advance of any costs being incurred, except as provided in this Section 10.03.

REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND
GENERAL COVENANTS OF MANAGER
13.1. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Manager. Manager hereby represents and warrants to Licensee and Tenant as follows:
(i) Organization. Manager is a Missouri limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Missouri, and is qualified to do business in the State.
(ii) Authorization; No Violation of Laws or Agreements. Manager has full power and authority, and has taken all requisite limited liability company action, to enter into and perform under this Agreement and all other agreements and documents contemplated by or related to this Agreement to which Manager is a party. Nothing in the articles of organization or operating agreement of Manager, as amended, or any other agreement, instrument, decree, proceeding, law or regulation (except as specifically referred to in or contemplated by this Agreement) by or to which Manager is bound or subject would prohibit or inhibit Manager from consummating this Agreement on the terms and conditions herein contained. Upon execution and delivery, this Agreement and any agreement or document to be executed by Manager pursuant hereto shall constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of Manager in accordance with its terms.
(iii) Eligible Independent Contractor. From and following the Commencement of Management Services, Manager shall at all times be an Eligible Independent Contractor, and Manager will and shall cause the Facility to be operated in such a manner so that it qualifies as a “qualified health care facility” within the meaning of Section 856(e)(6)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code at all times, including, without limitation, implementation of any steps identified by the Tenant from time to time with respect to maintaining such status. In the event that the Tenant reasonably determines that the terms of this Agreement will have any effect as to cause the rent under the Lease Agreement to fail to qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Internal Revenue Code, Manager
27 |
hereby agrees to enter into a reasonable amendment to this Agreement as proposed by Tenant modifying such terms in such a way as to cause rent under the Lease Agreement to so qualify as “rent from real property” in the reasonable opinion of Tenant and its counsel; provided however, no such modifications shall affect the amount of Operating Fees or Incentive Fees or the material terms of any rights or obligations of Manager hereunder.
(iv) Exclusion. Manager represents and warrants to Licensee and Tenant that neither Manager nor any of its owners, officers, directors, managers, or, to its knowledge, employees are excluded (each an “Exclusion”) from participation in any federal health care programs, as defined under 42 U.S.C. 1320a-7b(f), or in any form of state Medicaid program (each a “Health Care Program”), and to Manager’s knowledge, there are no pending or threatened governmental investigations that may lead to such Exclusion. Manager agrees to notify Licensee and Tenant of the commencement of any such Exclusion or investigation within seven (7) business days of Manager’s first learning of it. Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Agreement after giving Manager not less than sixty (60) days prior written notice of such election after learning of any such investigation which may result, with reasonable probability, in Manager’s exclusion. Manager agrees to notify Tenant of the status of any investigation that may result in Manager’s Exclusion. In the event of Manager’s Exclusion, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Agreement effective as of the earlier to occur of the following: (i) sixty (60) days after notice from Tenant of such termination or (ii) the date on which Tenant shall enter into an agreement with a replacement Manager. In the event Tenant shall give notice to Manager following Manager’s Exclusion under this Section 11.01(d), Tenant agrees to use its best efforts in good faith to enter into an agreement with a replacement Manager as soon as possible following Tenant’s notice. Manager agrees to indemnify Licensee and Tenant and save it harmless from any penalty, loss, cost or damage Licensee and Tenant may incur as a result of Manager’s Exclusion.

INSURANCE
14.1. General Insurance Requirements. Manager and Tenant, as indicated as Primarily Responsible Insured on Exhibit C, shall, at all times during the Term, keep the Facility and all property located therein or thereon, insured against the risks and in the amounts as provided on attached Exhibit C, shall name Licensee and Owner, and either Tenant or Manager, as applicable, as additional insureds on such policies as set forth on Exhibit C and upon Commencement of Management Services shall provide Manager with a certificate of insurance reflecting such insurance coverage, and Manager shall pay as a Facility Expense all premiums and deductibles on all of the insurance policies maintained by Manager and approved by Licensee and Tenant under this Article XII.
Licensee, Tenant and Manager may agree upon new required insurance coverage limits and policies from time to time provided that any adjustments thereto shall also be approved in writing, in advance by Owner. Licensee, Tenant and Owner will also discuss and agree with Manager from time to time whether, in light of any new or different coverages, Manager rather than Tenant, or Licensee, Tenant and/or Owner rather than Manager, as applicable, should assume primary responsibility for any particular insurance coverage under this Article XII.
It is the intention of the parties hereto to secure the broadest and most cost-effective insurance available to cover Owner, Tenant and Manager in the protection, operation and enhancement of the Facility, which is usually accomplished when both principal parties are insured under the same policies. Thus Manager or Owner, as applicable, is (1) to be included as an additional
28 |
named insured under the general liability insurance covering inherent and operational hazards associated with the management of the Facility, and (2) to receive a waiver of all direct damage insurers' rights of subrogation against Manager or Owner, as applicable, under all direct damage insurance policies covering the Facility. Manager's insurance is intended to cover Manager for claims against Manager not covered under Owner's or Tenant’s policies, and in respect to such claims, to include Owner and Tenant as an additional insured and waive Manager's insurer's rights of subrogation against Owner and Tenant.

PETERSBURG AND ALLEGRO ELIZABETHTOWN, TERMINATION UNDER THIS SECTION 13.04 AFTER THE FIRST 12 MONTHS OF THE AGREEMENT SHALL BE LIMITED TO (x) above], multiplied by |
(b) | the average monthly Operating Fee earned by Manager during the six (6) months prior to the proposed date of termination of the Agreement. |

15.5. Performance Termination. If at any time Net Operating Income for any trailing twelve-month period falling within the term of this Agreement is less than the ninety (90%) of the Net Operating Income budgeted for such period in the applicable Approved Operating Budget (without taking into account any reduction in Net Operating Income solely attributable to a Force Majeure Event), Tenant shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement without any Termination Fee or payment of any fee that accrues after the date of such termination, provided that written notice of such termination is given to Manager by Tenant within (120) days from the end of the calendar month in which any such shortfall was calculated.
15.6. Termination on Change in Control of Manager.

15.7. Transition upon Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, Manager agrees to cooperate in a commercially reasonable manner, at Licensee’s expense, in transferring Manager’s rights and obligations with respect to the Facility to Licensee or a successor manager.

16.3. Choice of Law. The parties agree that this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State, without regard to concepts of choice of laws.
16.4. Liability of Manager.
(i) Standard of Care. Manager agrees to exercise, with respect to all services provided by Manager under or pursuant to this Agreement, a high and qualified standard of care, skill, and diligence such as is at least comparable to that at other facilities having the same Permitted Use owned or managed by the Manager or its Affiliates and as is reasonably necessary for the maintenance of any license or permit required for the Facility to be operated for its Permitted Uses in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements. Manager agrees to make a diligent and commercially reasonable effort to maximize the occupancy of the Facility.
(ii) Other Persons. Neither party shall be responsible for the acts or omissions of the other party’s contractors, subcontractors or employees, or of any persons representing the other party and performing any services for or in connection with the Facility, or any consultants or other persons engaged by the other party with respect thereto, except and only to the extent a party is supervising, or legally should be supervising the same, and a party shall be responsible only for the performance of such party’s obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof.
31 |
(iii) Non-Recourse. In the event that Manager makes any claim against the Facility, Licensee and/or Tenant, Manager’s recourse shall be limited to the provisions of this Agreement and to the Licensee’s and Tenant’s right, title and interest in and to the Facility and in Total Facility Revenues. Manager shall have no recourse to Affiliates, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, or members of the Licensee and/or Tenant. In the event that the Licensee and/or Tenant makes any claim against the Manager, Licensee and/or Tenant shall have no recourse to Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, members or managers of the Manager.
16.5. Indemnity. Manager will defend, indemnify and hold Licensee, Tenant and Owner (and any Affiliate, their respective directors, officers, shareholders, members, employees and agents) harmless from and against any claims, losses, expenses, costs, suits, actions, proceedings, demands or liabilities that are asserted against, or sustained or incurred by them as a direct result of Manager’s material breach of this Agreement or as a result of legal actions or regulatory violations arising from the gross negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct of Manager, its Home Office Employees and/or officers (including without limitation any grossly negligent or wrongful intentional failure of Manager to adequately supervise Facility-level employees or enforce applicable policies and procedures with respect to Facility-level employees), or because of any loss, cost, liability and damage (including, without limitation, engineers’ and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, and the cost of litigation) arising from the placing of Hazardous Substances, in violation of any Legal Requirements, including those governing the Environment, on or in the Facility by Manager's Home Office Employees and/or officers during the Term. If and, to the extent any claim is not covered by insurance carried under this Agreement, Manager will defend, at its expense, any actions brought directly against the Manager as a result of its gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct, in managing and/or operating the Facility, or arising from the placing of Hazardous Substances, in violation of any Legal Requirements, on or in the Facility by Manager's Home Office Employees and/or officers. Tenant will defend, indemnify, and hold Manager harmless, from and against any and all claims, expenses, losses, costs, suits, actions, proceedings, demands, or liabilities (including, without limitation, engineers’ and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, and the cost of litigation) that are asserted against, or sustained or incurred by Manager in the proper performance of Manager’s duties under this Agreement or otherwise while acting properly within the scope of the agency established by the parties to this Agreement, or arising under or in connection with Tenant’s breach of this Agreement, or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its employees, contractors, managers, representatives or agents, or Tenant’s written instructions to Manager given pursuant to the authority retained by Licensee in the last sentence of Section 2.01 above. The scope of the foregoing indemnities includes any and all costs and expenses properly incurred in connection with any proceedings to defend any indemnified claim, or to enforce the indemnity, or both. Recovery upon an indemnity contained in this Agreement shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar by any applicable insurance collected by the indemnified party with respect to the claims covered by such indemnity. For clarity, it being intended in this Section 14.05 that Manager be indemnified by Tenant for the negligent or wrongful intentional actions and omissions of Manager's Facility-level employees which do not arise as a direct result of Manager’s material breach of this Agreement or as a result of legal actions or regulatory violations arising from the gross negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct of Manager, its Home Office Employees and/or officers, including without limitation any grossly negligent or wrongful intentional failure of Manager to adequately supervise Facility-level employees or enforce applicable policies and procedures with respect to Facility-level employees.

In the event either Tenant, Licensee, Owner or Manager is made a party to any action for damages or other relief against which such party has been indemnified, as provided in Section 14.05 above, the indemnifying party shall at its own expense using counsel reasonably approved by the indemnified party, diligently defend the indemnified party, pay all costs in such litigation or, at the option and expense of the indemnified party, the indemnified party at its expense may nonetheless engage its own counsel in connection with its own defense or settlement of said litigation in which event the indemnifying party shall cooperate with indemnified party and make available to the indemnified party all information and data in the indemnifying party’s custody or under its control which the indemnified party reasonably deems necessary or desirable for such defense. In the event the indemnified party is required to secure its own counsel due to a conflict in the interests of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in any action for damages or other relief against which the indemnifying party has indemnified the indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall pay all of the indemnified party’s reasonable attorney’s fees and costs thereafter incurred in such litigation. The indemnifying party is required to and shall approve a settlement agreement for any such claim or suit as requested by the indemnified party and which is consistent with applicable insurance company requirements and within insured limits and any deductible, unless the indemnifying party posts a bond or other security acceptable to the indemnified party for any potentially uninsured liability amounts.

(ii) In the event a portion of the Facility shall be taken by the events described in Section 17.02(a), or the entire Facility is affected but on a temporary basis, and the result is not to make it unreasonable to continue to operate the Facility for its Permitted Use pursuant to this Agreement, in the mutual reasonable judgment of Owner, Tenant and Manager, this Agreement shall not terminate.

hereto, and consented to by the Owner, and no waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be enforceable unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the party against whom the waiver is sought to be enforced.

(i) Unless specifically stated to the contrary, the use of the Expert shall be the exclusive remedy of the parties and neither party shall attempt to adjudicate any dispute in any other forum. The decision of the Expert shall be final and binding on the parties and shall not be capable of challenge, whether by arbitration, in court or otherwise;
(ii) Each party shall be entitled to make written submissions to the Expert, and if a party makes any submission it shall also provide a copy to the other party and the other party shall have the right to comment on such submission. The parties shall make available to the Expert all books and records relating to the issue in dispute and shall render to the Expert any assistance requested of the parties. The costs of the Expert and the proceedings shall be treated as a Facility Expense;
(iii) Each party shall bear its own respective attorneys fees and costs in connection with any matter referred to the Expert in accordance with this Agreement and any submissions by a party to the Expert;

20.15. Arbitration. In the event of any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in connection with, or relating to, this Agreement or any breach or alleged breach hereof (each, a “Dispute”) that is not referred to an Expert, the parties shall in all events and prior to submitting any Dispute to an arbitrator for resolution hereunder, meet in person and attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute. Any Dispute that is not resolved after a meeting of the parties shall, upon the request of any party involved, be submitted to, and settled by, arbitration in the State, by a single arbitrator pursuant to the commercial arbitration rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association (or at any time or at any other place or under any other form of arbitration mutually acceptable to the parties so involved) and pursuant to the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act; provided, however, that any party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to obtain an injunction or other interim relief, provided such party simultaneously submits such matter to Arbitration for a final determination on the merits. Any award rendered shall be final and conclusive upon the parties and a judgment thereon may be entered in the highest court of the forum, state or federal, having jurisdiction.

Transition Period Sublease
[ See attached. ]
TRANSITION PERIOD SUBLEASE
THIS TRANSITION PERIOD SUBLEASE (this “Sublease”) dated [_______] ___, 2014, (the “Effective Date”), is made by and between ARHC [__________] TRS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (herein called “Sublessor”) and [ALLEGRO OPERATOR] (herein called “Sublessee”).
Recitals:
R-1. Sublessee (together with certain of its affiliates) has on the Effective Date sold its interest in certain real property and improvements situated in the [State of Florida/Commonwealth of Kentucky] (the “State”), including [a skilled nursing/assisted living and/or memory care facility] (the “Facility”) as more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein (said real property, including the land and all improvements thereon, is referred to herein as the “Premises”) to ARHC [__________], LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”).
R-2. Landlord has leased the Premises to Sublessor, as tenant, under a Lease dated as of the Effective Date (the “Lease”).
R-3. Sublessee currently holds certain Licenses (as defined in Section 5.4 below) necessary for the operation of the Facility.
R-4. Sublessor is in the process of obtaining its own licenses, but has not done so by the date of the sale.
R-5. Sublessee wishes to Sublease the Premises from the Sublessor so that its Licenses can allow the Facility to remain in operation until such time as Sublessor obtains licenses in its name.
R-6. Simultaneous with the execution of this Sublease, Sublessee is entering into an agreement for management of the Facility (the “Management Agreement”) with [LOVE MANAGEMENT COMPANY, LLC, a Missouri limited liability company doing business as “ALLEGRO MANAGEMENT COMPANY”] (“Manager”).
R-7. In accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement, upon Sublessor’s written notice to Sublessee of Sublessor’s receipt of its own licenses, the Management Agreement shall automatically be assigned by Sublessee to Sublessor and Sublessee shall cease to be a party thereto. Upon such assignment, any agreements with Residents (as defined in the Management Agreement) entered into by Manager on behalf of Sublessee pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement shall automatically be assigned by Sublessee to Sublessor and Sublessee shall cease to be a party thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, promptly following the occurrence of such automatic assignments the parties shall execute and deliver (a) a blanket assignment of both the Resident Agreements and the Management Agreement, and (b) a termination of this Sublease.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of sufficiency of which are mutually agreed, and the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE 11Premises. Sublessor hereby subleases the Premises to Sublessee and Sublessee subleases the Premises from Sublessor for the Term (hereinafter defined) and pursuant to all of the conditions set forth herein.
ARTICLE 12Term.
Section 12.1 Term. The term of this Sublease (“Term”) shall commence on the Effective Date and shall expire (the “Expiration Date”) on the earliest to occur of
(a) the date on which Sublessee and Sublessor by mutual written agreement elect to terminate this Sublease;
(b) the date on which Sublessor notifies Sublessee in writing that the State has issued to the Sublessor the Sublessor’s own licenses;
(c) the date upon which the Management Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms;
(d) the date on which this Sublease is terminated pursuant to any provision hereof; or
(e) one (1) year following the Effective Date.
Sublessor and Sublessee shall each give the other prompt written notice upon receipt of notice from the State that it has issued or otherwise confirmed the approval for the issuance of the Licenses to Sublessor. Further, any and all costs of maintaining the Licenses shall be paid by the Manager as a Facility Expense under the Management Agreement.
Section 12.2 Surrender. On the Expiration Date, or on any sooner termination of the Term, Sublessee shall surrender the Premises to Sublessor or to Sublessor’s designee in its then-current condition, except to the extent otherwise provided in Sections 7 or 13 below.
ARTICLE 13Rent. Notwithstanding the independent sufficiency and receipt by the parties of the consideration recited above, Sublessee shall be obligated to pay to Sublessor, as fixed rent, the sum of Ten Dollars ($10) per year (the “Rent”), payable on the Effective Date, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged by Sublessee.
ARTICLE 14Use.
Section 14.1 Use. The Premises shall be used and occupied in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement.
Section 14.2 Condition of Premises. Sublessee hereby accepts the Premises in its condition existing as of the Effective Date, subject to all applicable zoning, municipal, county and state laws, ordinances and regulations governing and regulating the use of the Premises, and any encumbrances, covenants or restrictions of record, and accepts this Sublease subject thereto and to all matters disclosed thereby. Sublessee acknowledges that neither Sublessor nor Sublessor’s agent has made any representation or warranty as to the present or future suitability of the Premises for the conduct of Sublessee’s business. Sublessor
acknowledges that Sublessee shall have no obligation to maintain, repair or restore the condition of the Premises at any time during the term of the Sublease, and that upon termination of the Sublease, Sublessee shall surrender the Premises to Sublessor in “as is” condition, without further obligation or liability with respect to the Premises, unless such damage was caused by Sublessee’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct.
ARTICLE 15Operation of Facility.
Section 15.1 Operation of Facility. The Sublessee agrees that it shall permit the Manager to operate the Facility and keep the Premises in good order, condition and repair, in accordance with Manager’s obligations under the terms of the Management Agreement. Sublessor agrees that except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 5.1, Sublessee shall have no obligation or liability with respect to Manager’s performance or nonperformance of such obligations, but at Sublessor’s written request, Sublessee will direct Manager to perform such obligations. Notwithstanding any provision of this Sublease to the contrary, Sublessee shall, to the extent required by applicable law, retain ultimate authority and responsibility for the operation of the Facility.
Section 15.2 Financial Obligations. From the effective date of the Management Agreement, until such time as Sublessee ceases to be a party thereto as provided in Recital R-7 above, all financial obligations imposed on the Sublessee pursuant to the Management Agreement that are not paid by the Manager as a Facility Expense shall be paid by Sublessor to Sublessee from Sublessor’s own funds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to enforce such imposition of financial obligations on the Sublessor, Sublessee shall give Sublessor written notice of such financial obligation(s) providing, in reasonable detail, the nature and estimated cost thereof. Sublessor shall, within ten (10) business days after receipt of such notice disburse such required funds to Sublessee, or if Sublessor disputes its obligation to disburse such funds, it shall give Sublessee notice of such dispute within such ten (10) business-day period. To the extent reasonably possible, Sublessor shall identify disputed items on a line item basis. Sublessee shall have no obligation to disburse its own funds during the period of such dispute regardless of the consequences.
Section 15.3 Deposit and Disbursement of Funds. Sublessee shall remit to Sublessor all monies received by Sublessee in connection with the operation of the Facility within five (5) days receipt thereof. This Section 5.3 shall survive the termination of this Sublease.
Section 15.4 Licenses and Approvals. Sublessee shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain in effect at all times during the term hereof all certificates of need, accreditations, registrations, facility or other operating licenses and other consents of regulatory authorities necessary for the operation of the Facility, including the licenses listed on Exhibit B attached hereto, (collectively, the “Licenses”) which are necessary and appropriate to operate the Facility as presently operated as of the date of this Sublease. Sublessee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to refrain from any and all conduct which has the effect of jeopardizing any License of the Facility, provided that Sublessee shall have absolutely no obligation to utilize its own funds in the course thereof. All costs and expenses incurred by Sublessee necessary in maintaining the Licenses or to comply with any rules, regulations, requirements or laws associated
therewith shall be paid to Sublessee by the Manager as a Facility Expense within ten (10) business days of Sublessor’s receipt of a written request with documentation for the same, and if not so paid within such ten (10) business day period, shall thereafter accrue interest at ten percent (10%) per annum. Sublessor shall diligently and in good faith pursue the prompt issuance of Licenses in Sublessor’s own name, with the understanding that it is the mutual desire of Sublessor and Sublessee for Sublessor to procure such Licenses as promptly as is commercially practicable.
Section 15.5 Limitations on Authority of Sublessee. Except as expressly provided herein or as otherwise required by applicable law or the requirements of any of the Licenses, Sublessee shall have no right, authority or obligation to take any action with respect to the Premises without the prior written consent of Sublessor. To the extent action or payment is required by Sublessee as Licensee under the Management Agreement, Sublessee (vis a vis Sublessor) shall be excused from the same in the event and to the extent Sublessor does not both authorize the same and provide any required funds therefor.
Section 15.6 Records. Sublessee, through the Manager, shall retain all financial and other records of the Facility during the Term of this Sublease, in accordance with applicable rules and regulations promulgated by Federal and State governmental authorities and relevant accreditation agencies and organizations governing the Facility, and otherwise in accordance with industry practice. All costs associated with same shall be paid by Manager as a Facility Expense, and at Sublessor’s written request, Sublessee shall direct the Manager to pay such costs.
ARTICLE 16Insurance. The Manager shall be responsible for maintaining insurance in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement. On or before the commencement of the Term, Sublessee shall be named (and certificates of insurance shall be furnished to Sublessee confirming that Sublessee has been named) as an additional insured on all professional and commercial general liability insurance policies required by the Management Agreement with respect to the Premises. Such commercial general liability insurance shall be primary to any and all separate insurance policies maintained by Manager related to the Facility.
ARTICLE 17Damage, Destruction. If the Premises are damaged or destroyed during the Term of this Sublease and as a result the Management Agreement is terminated pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement, this Sublease shall terminate on the date the Management Agreement is terminated as a result thereof. Provided that such damage or destruction is not the result of damage caused by Sublessee’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct, Sublessee shall have no obligation to repair or restore the Premises and or replace any personal property, furniture, fixtures or equipment as a result of any damage to or destruction of the Premises.
ARTICLE 18Real Property Taxes. Manager shall be responsible for the payment as a Facility Expense of all real property and any other taxes on or with respect to the Facility, pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement, and at Sublessor’s written request, Sublessee shall direct the Manager to pay such taxes.
ARTICLE 19Utilities. Manager shall be responsible for the payment as a Facility Expense all water, gas, heat, light, power, telephone and other utilities and services supplied to the Premises pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement, and at Sublessor’s written request, Sublessee shall direct the Manager to pay for such utilities and services.
ARTICLE 20Assignment and Subletting.
Section 20.1 Assignment and Subletting. Sublessee shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign, transfer, mortgage, sublet, or otherwise transfer or encumber all or any part of Sublessee’s interest in this Sublease or in the Premises, without Sublessor’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Sublessor’s sole and absolute discretion.
Section 20.2 No Waiver. The acceptance of rent by Sublessor from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Sublessor of any provision hereof. Consent to one assignment or subletting shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting.
ARTICLE 21Defaults; Remedies.
Section 21.1 Default by Sublessee. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a material default and breach of this Sublease by Sublessee:
(a) The failure by Sublessee to observe or perform any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Sublease to be observed or performed by Sublessee where such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Sublessor to
Sublessee or such longer period as shall reasonably be required to cure the same with the exercise of due diligence.
(b) (i) The making by Sublessee of any general arrangement or assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) Sublessee becomes a “debtor” as defined in 11 U.S.C. 101 or any successor statute thereto (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Sublessee, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days); (iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Sublessee’s assets located at the Premises or of Sublessee’s interest in this Sublease, where possession is not restored to Sublessee within thirty (30) days; or (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Sublessee’s assets located at the Premises or of Sublessee’s interest in this Sublease, where such seizure is not discharged within 30 days. Provided, however, in the event that any provision of this paragraph 11.1(c) is contrary to any applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or effect.
Section 21.2 Remedies of Sublessor. In the event of any such material default or breach by Sublessee, Sublessor may at any time thereafter, with reasonable prior written notice of not less than thirty (30) days except for a default under Section 11.1(b) above, as Sublessor’s sole right and remedy by reason of such default or breach, terminate Sublessee’s right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means, in which case this Sublease shall terminate and Sublessee shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Sublessor.
Section 21.3 Default by Sublessor. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a default and breach of this Sublease by Sublessor:
(a) A default under the Management Agreement by Sublessee arising from the failure or refusal of Sublessor to perform its obligations under this Sublease.
(b) The failure by Sublessor to observe or perform any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Sublease to be observed or performed by Sublesseor where such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Sublessee to Sublessor or such longer period as shall reasonably be required to cure the same with the exercise of due diligence.
Section 21.4 Remedies of Sublessee. In the event of any such material default or breach by Sublessor, Sublessee may at any time thereafter, with reasonable prior written notice of not less than thirty (30) days, as Sublessee’s sole right and remedy by reason of such default or breach, terminate this Sublease and surrender possession of the Premises to Sublessor. The restrictions on Sublessee's remedies hereunder shall not apply to matters for which Sublessee is entitled to indemnity from Sublessor pursuant to Paragraph 12(a) below.
Section 21.5 No right to Damages. Except as expressly set forth in Paragraph 12 below to the contrary, both parties hereby waive and release any right to damages for or on account of the breach of this Sublease.
ARTICLE 22Indemnity.
(a) Sublessor shall and hereby agrees to indemnify and save and hold Sublessee (and all of its officers, employees, agents, affiliates and directors) harmless from and against and reimburse Sublessee for any and all claims, causes of action, costs, expenses, judgments and awards (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees based upon service rendered at hourly rates) incurred by or asserted against Sublessee to the extent occasioned by or resulting, directly or indirectly from its status as subtenant hereunder or the operation of the Premises, unless arising out of Sublessee’s (i) breach of this Sublease, (ii) affirmative act in breach of the Management Agreement (unless Sublessee took such action at the written direction of Sublessor, such action was approved in writing by the Sublessor, or such breach was caused by Sublessor’s breach of its obligations under Section 5.2 above), or (iii) gross negligence, fraud or intentional misconduct. This obligation shall survive the expiration or termination of this Sublease.
(b) Sublessee shall and hereby agrees to indemnify and save and hold Sublessor (and all of its officers, employees, agents, affiliates and directors) harmless from and against and reimburse Sublessor for any and all claims, causes of action, costs, expenses, judgments and awards (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees based upon service rendered at hourly rates) incurred by or asserted against Sublessor to the extent occasioned by or resulting, directly or indirectly, from Sublessee’s breach of this Sublease or the affirmative act of Sublessee in breach of the Management Agreement (unless Sublessee took such action at the written direction of the Sublessor, such action was approved in writing by the Sublessor, or such breach was caused by Sublessor’s breach of its obligations under Section 5.2 above), or Sublessee’s gross negligence, fraud or intentional misconduct. This obligation shall survive the expiration or termination of this Sublease.
(c) An indemnifying party shall be relieved of its duty to indemnify an indemnified party hereunder if and to the extent the indemnified party fails to use commercially reasonable efforts in good faith to mitigate its damages, including, but not limited to, failure to give timely notice to its insurance carriers and to pursue recovery under applicable policies of insurance. Damages afforded an indemnified party pursuant to this Paragraph 12 shall include actual damages suffered by such indemnified party as a result of the matters indemnified against and shall not include any special, punitive, multiplied or consequential damages, or lost profits, except to the extent the same are included in a third-party judgment against the indemnified party, the right to which is hereby waived by both parties.
