(a) Real estate and personal property taxes;
(b) Utilities, water, sewer and fuel charges; and
(c) Other normally prorated items.
For the purpose of prorations, Closing shall be deemed to have occurred at 11:59 p.m. on the Closing Date so that Seller shall be deemed to own the Property on the Closing Date.

11. CONDUCT PENDING CLOSING.

(i) Seller will cooperate with Purchaser in permitting Purchaser’s respective authorized representatives to review and copy any and all Resident Agreements, records, books, contracts, and commitments relating to the Property, and permit Purchaser and its authorized representatives free access to the Property upon prior notice to Seller or its representatives, subject to rights of the residents under their Resident Agreements.
(ii) Seller will use reasonable efforts to preserve for Purchaser the goodwill of Seller’s residents and others having business relations with the Property.
(iii) Seller will operate, maintain and manage the Property consistent with the manner in which Seller has operated, maintained and managed the Property.

(a) If any condemnation or conveyance in lieu thereof of all or any portion of the Real Property occurs or is threatened prior to Closing (written notice of which shall be given to Purchaser by Seller promptly upon its receipt), Purchaser may at its option, either (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller given within twenty (20) days after Purchaser is notified of such actual or possible proceedings (but before the Closing), in which case all of the Escrow Funds shall be returned to Purchaser and all further rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall terminate, except those expressly stated to survive termination, or (ii) proceed to Closing without abatement of the Purchase Price, in which case all proceeds or award (less any expenses incurred by Seller) shall be assigned to Purchaser. If any condemnation or conveyance in lieu thereof is presently pending or occurs after the date hereof, Seller shall not settle or agree to accept any compensation for same without Purchaser’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld.
(b) In the event of loss or damage to the Property or any portion thereof which is not “major” (as hereinafter defined), this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and the parties shall nonetheless consummate this transaction in accordance with this Agreement, without any abatement of the Purchase Price or any liability or obligation on the part of Seller by reason of said damage except as set forth in the next sentence. In such event, the transaction shall proceed as contemplated herein, Seller shall provide a credit against the Purchase Price equal to Seller’s interest in insurance proceeds that have been collected by Seller and assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest in the proceeds to be paid on the claim of loss, less any sums expended by Seller prior to Closing in connection with its insurance claim (including any deductibles paid) or for the restoration or repair of the damaged Property.
(c) In the event of a “major” loss or damage to the Property or any portion thereof, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in which event the Escrow Funds shall be returned to Purchaser. If Purchaser does not give written notice of termination of this Agreement within twenty (20) days after Seller sends Purchaser written notice of the occurrence of major loss or damage, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed with Closing, in which event, the transaction shall proceed as contemplated herein, Seller shall provide a credit against the Purchase Price equal to Seller’s interest in insurance proceeds that have been collected by Seller and assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest in the proceeds to be paid on the claim of loss, less any sums expended by Seller prior to Closing in connection with its insurance claim (including any deductibles paid) or for the restoration or repair of the damaged Property.
(d) For purposes of this Section 12, “major” loss or damage refers to loss or damage to the Property or any portion thereof: (i) such that the cost of repair or restoration of the damage to a condition substantially identical to that prior to the event of damage would be, either be equal to or greater than $500,000 or require more than 120 days after the loss or damage to repair and restore, as determined by an independent appraiser chosen by Purchaser and reasonably acceptable to Seller, or (ii) having a material adverse impact upon the ability or feasibility of operating a nursing home facility on the Property, in substantially the same manner as the Property is being operated by Seller on the date hereof.

If the Escrow Agent does not receive a written objection from the other party to the proposed payment within five (5) business days after the giving of such notice, the Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make such payment. If the Escrow Agent does receive such written objection within such five (5) business day period or if for any other reason the Escrow Agent in good faith shall elect not to make such payment, the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such amount until otherwise directed by written instructions from the parties hereto or a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Escrow Agent shall, however, have the right at any time after receiving any disputed claim for payment of the Escrow Fund to file a suit with a court of competent jurisdiction and to pay the Escrow to such court (or an officer thereof). The Escrow Agent shall give written notice of such deposit to Seller and Purchaser. Upon such deposit, Escrow Agent shall be relieved of and discharged from all further obligations and responsibilities hereunder.

28. EXCULPATION OF ESCROW AGENT. The parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is acting at their request and convenience and solely as a stakeholder, that the Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the parties and that the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to either of the parties for any act or omission on its part unless taken or suffered in bad faith, in willful disregard of this Agreement or involving gross negligence. Seller and Purchaser hereby jointly and severally indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless from and against all costs, claims and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the performance by Escrow Agent of its duties hereunder, except with respect to actions or omissions taken or suffered by Escrow Agent in bad faith, in willful disregard of this Agreement or involving gross negligence on the part of Escrow Agent; provided however, that as between Seller and Purchaser, no such advance costs, claims and expenses as the result of any dispute or litigation between them shall be without prejudice to such party’s right to recover such amount as damages from the breaching party.

PURCHASER AND SELLER EACH HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED ON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE PROPERTY AND ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED OR CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.
36. BULK SALES. The parties acknowledge that the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania may require that certain governmental agencies or authorities be notified in advance of the Closing Date, of the proposed assignment and transfer of the Property by Seller to Purchaser, and in certain cases that Seller obtain and deliver to Purchaser a clearance certificate evidencing the payment by Seller of certain taxes, assessments and contributions to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The parties further acknowledge that, as a result of procedures for the administration of applications for such clearance certificates, and anticipated delays therein, it is not possible for Seller to obtain and deliver such clearance certificates as of the Closing Date, or for some period of time thereafter. Seller shall be responsible for providing all notices to governmental agencies required under such laws and for providing, at Closing, evidence reasonably acceptable to Purchaser that such notices have been delivered. Seller agrees to act in good faith and with reasonable diligence to apply for, obtain and deliver to Purchaser (with copies to the Title Company) all required clearance certificates at or as soon after the Closing Date as is reasonably possible. If any such required clearance certificate is not available at the Closing, the failure to deliver such clearance certificate, and any exception therefor raised by the Title Company, shall not constitute a default by Seller or a deficiency in title, provided that (i) no liens or claims for unpaid taxes shall then have been assessed against Seller or the Property, and (ii) Seller shall indemnify the Title Company (if required) and Purchaser against claims by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for any taxes, assessments and contributions that may be due from Seller to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and Seller shall indemnify Purchaser for all losses, costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser as a result of Seller’s failure to comply with the obligations referenced in this Section 36, which indemnification obligations shall survive Closing.

39. ATTORNEYS’ FEES. In any action between Purchaser and Seller as a result of a party’s failure to perform or a default under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party, and the other party shall pay to the prevailing party, the prevailing party’s attorneys’ fees, expenses and court costs incurred in such action.
40. ANTI-TERRORISM. Neither Purchaser or Seller, nor any of their affiliates, are in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law (as hereinafter defined) or engages in or conspires to engage in any transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or attempts to violate, any of the prohibitions set forth in any Anti-Terrorism Law. “Anti-Terrorism Laws” shall mean any laws relating to terrorism or money laundering, including: Executive Order No. 13224; the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, Public Law 107-56, as the same has been, or may hereafter be, renewed, extended, amended or replaced; the applicable laws comprising or implementing the Bank Secrecy Act; and the applicable laws administered by the United States Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Asset Control (as any of the foregoing may from time to time be amended, renewed, extended, or replaced).
41. PURCHASER’S DISCLOSURES. Seller acknowledges that Purchaser may be affiliated with a company that may qualify as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) and that, as such, it may be subject to certain filing and reporting requirements in accordance with federal laws and regulations, including but not limited to, regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, and notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the provisions of any other existing agreement between the parties hereto to the contrary, Purchaser may publicly file, disclose, report or publish any and all information related to this transaction that may be reasonably interpreted as being required by federal law or regulation.
42. EASEMENT AGREEMENT AND PARKING.
(a) Purchaser acknowledges that Seller intends to develop a parcel of property adjacent to the Real Property with a proposed 5-story apartment building for senior housing (the “Proposed Development”). In connection with the construction of the Proposed Development, Seller requires an easement for use of the southeast corner of the Real Property (which consists of parking for the Real Property) for construction and staging activities, and accordingly Purchaser and Seller have agreed to enter into the Easement Agreement at Closing.
(b) In connection with the foregoing, Seller agrees that, until such time as Seller has ceased using the portion of the Real Property subject to the Easement Agreement for construction and staging activities and made such repairs as are reasonably required so that the portion of the Real Property subject to the Easement Agreement so that it can again be utilized by Purchaser for at least ten (10) regular parking spaces and two (2) handicapped parking spaces, Seller shall provide to Purchaser’s tenants and subtenants, pursuant to the Parking Sublicense, alternate parking in the parking lot for St. Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx for Purchaser’s non-exclusive use, subject to and in accordance with the license agreement dated June 24, 2010 between Seller and St. Xxxxxxxx Sophie Church, as the same shall be modified pursuant to an amendment in form and substance substantially the same as the form attached hereto as Exhibit “G” (the “Parking License Amendment”). The obligations of Seller pursuant to this Section 42(b) shall survive Closing, subject to termination pursuant to the Parking Sublicense in the event of a default by Purchaser’s tenants and subtenants thereunder.
