Should actual taxes for the current year vary from estimated taxes, each party shall have the right to demand and receive from the other a re-proration of taxes and reimbursement for the prorated amount or variation thereof up to one (1) year after Closing; and |
Buyer and Seller shall prepare a proposed schedule (the “Proration Schedule”) prior to Closing, that shall include the items listed above and any other applicable income and expenses with regard to the Property. Seller and Buyer will use all reasonable efforts to finalize and agree upon the Proration Schedule at least two (2) business days prior to Closing.
7 |

(c) With respect to any amounts held by Seller in a resident escrow or trust account under any Property Agreement, at or promptly following Closing, Seller shall return the same to the depositor thereof (to the extent the amounts held in any such accounts have not been applied against amounts owing by the depositor thereof in accordance with the terms of the applicable Property Agreement). With respect to any cash security or other deposits actually held by Seller pursuant to the Property Agreements (i.e., other than amounts held in a resident escrow or trust account), at Closing Seller shall credit Buyer for all such deposits (to the extent such security or other deposits have not been applied against delinquent amounts owing under such Property Agreements as provided therein).
(d) Seller shall receive all income from and shall be responsible for all expenses of the Property attributable to the period prior to the Proration Date, unless otherwise provided for in this Agreement. In the event Buyer receives any payment from a tenant for rent due for any period prior to the Proration Date or payment of any other receivable of Seller, Buyer shall forward such payment to Seller. To the extent not prorated as of Closing, payments received by Seller shall be first applied by Buyer and Seller to those amounts which were billed first.
(e) Buyer shall receive all income from and shall be responsible for all expenses of the Property attributable to the period from and after the Proration Date, unless otherwise provided for in this Agreement. In the event Seller or Seller’s Affiliates receive any payment from a tenant for rent due for any period from and after the Proration Date, Seller shall forward such payment to Buyer.
(f) The parties agree that any amounts that may become due under this Section 2.5 shall be paid at Closing as can best be determined (such amount, the “Preliminary Adjustment Amount”). A post-Closing reconciliation of pro-rated items shall be made by the Buyer and Seller within ninety (90) days after Closing and any amounts due at that time shall be promptly forwarded to the respective party 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 2.5 which cannot be determined within ninety (90) days after Closing shall be reconciled as soon thereafter as such amounts can be determined. Any amounts due under this Section 2.5 after the Closing shall be referred to as the “Post-Closing Adjustment Amounts”. Buyer and Seller agree that each shall have the right to audit the records of the other for up to one (1) year following Closing in connection with any such post-Closing reconciliation.
(g) Buyer shall receive a credit towards the Purchase Price for the Accrued Employee Benefits and any other obligations as otherwise expressly agreed by the Buyer and Seller.
(h) This Section 2.5 shall survive the Closing.

Escrow Agent shall incur no liability in connection with the safekeeping or disposition of the Escrowed Funds for any reason other than Escrow Agent’s breach of contract, willful misconduct or gross negligence. Escrow Agent shall be reimbursed by Buyer and Seller for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with its obligations hereunder with each Buyer and Seller being responsible for ½ of the amounts due Escrow Agent unless due to the default of one particular party under this Agreement, in which case all of the out-of-pocket costs shall be attributable to the Party at fault. If Escrow Agent is in doubt as to its duties or obligations with regard to the Escrowed Funds, or if the Escrow Agent receives conflicting instructions from Buyer and Seller with respect to the Escrowed Funds, the Escrow Agent shall not be required to disburse the Escrowed Funds and may, at its option, continue to hold the Escrowed Funds until both Buyer and Seller agree as to their disposition, or until a final judgment is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction directing their disposition, or the Escrow Agent may interplead the Escrowed Funds in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio. Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for the preservation of principal or any interest on the Escrowed Funds except as is actually earned, or for the loss of any interest or principal resulting from the withdrawal of the Escrowed Funds prior to the date interest is posted thereon.
(b) The Escrow Agent may resign upon written notice to the Seller and Buyer. If a successor escrow agent is not appointed by the Seller and Buyer within this thirty (30) day period, the Escrow Agent may, but shall have no duty to, petition a court of competent jurisdiction 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 Section 2.6(a) 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 Buyer.
(c) The Escrow Agent may be removed, with or without cause, by the Buyer and Seller acting jointly at any time by providing written notice to the Escrow Agent.
(d) This Section 2.6 shall survive the Closing or the expiration or any termination of this Agreement.

(i) accept Seller’s interest in the Real Property subject to such Title Defect(s) or Required Cure Item(s), in which event such Title Defect(s) or Required Cure Item(s) shall become part of the Permitted Exceptions, and to close the transaction contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

(b) In the event the regulatory authorities (i) assert that there are violations and require repairs or alterations to be made to cure such violations which are, in the aggregate, greater than $5,000.00, or (ii) assess fines as a result of operational issues and require such fines to be paid prior to issuing Licenses to the Post-Closing Licensee or prior to confirming to Buyer that the Licenses are in place, no material violations exist, and the Property is in good standing, the Seller’s performance of all such required repairs and alterations at Seller’s expense and payment of any and all such fines by Seller shall be a condition to Buyer’s Closing. If any operational changes are required by such regulatory authorities as a condition to issuing Licenses, Seller’s implementing such action at Seller’s expense shall be a material obligation and condition to Closing. If Seller fails to take such foregoing actions, Buyer shall have the remedy available under Section 11.2(a).
24 |
(c) If any of the Licenses cannot be obtained by the Post-Closing Licensee at or prior to the Closing, alternative arrangements that are reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, Seller, and Tenant shall have been implemented to assure that the Post-Closing Licensee shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, rules and regulations, have the benefit of such Licenses, and Seller and the Post-Closing Licensee shall cooperate and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Licenses for the Post-Closing Licensee or to complete the transfer and assignment of the Licenses by Seller, whichever is applicable, as contemplated in the foregoing sentences promptly after the Closing. For example, but not by way of limitation, in the event the required Licenses have not been transferred, issued or re-issued as of the Closing with respect to the Property, as required by Applicable Law and regulations, Seller, Tenant and the Buyer shall enter into a sublease (the “Transition Period Sublease”), on terms and conditions mutually acceptable to the parties thereto in the form substantially to that attached hereto as Exhibit L, so that the Property may continue to be operated on and after the Closing pending the transfer, issuance or re-issuance of such required Licenses. This subsection shall survive the Closing until the earlier to occur of (i) the issuance of the Licenses to Buyer or Tenant, or (ii) the termination of the Transition Period Sublease, if any.
(d) Sections 7.10(a) and (b) shall survive Closing.
7.11 Termination of Existing Leases & Management Agreements Buyer shall have received evidence from Seller, satisfactory to Buyer in its sole discretion, that the lease agreement entered into between Seller and any master tenant, and the management agreement between Seller and Existing Manager have been terminated without fee or cost to Buyer.

10.1 General. The rights to indemnification set forth in this ARTICLE X and the other rights described in this Agreement shall be in addition to all other rights to monetary damages that any party (or the party’s successors or permitted assigns) would otherwise have by Applicable Law in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Document; provided, however, that neither party shall have the right to be compensated more than once for the same monetary damage.
10.2 Indemnification by Seller. From and after Closing, Seller shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Buyer, Tenant and each of their officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, Affiliates, successors and assigns from and against, and pay or reimburse each of them for and with respect to, any Loss relating to, arising out of or resulting from any of the following:
(a) Any breach by Seller of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement or any other Document; and
(b) The ownership, operation or control of the Property prior to the Closing, including without limitation, any and all liabilities which relate to events occurring prior to the Closing, regardless of when they are asserted or whether such was disclosed to Buyer and regardless of whether such was a breach of any representation, warranty, or covenant by Seller, except for (i) Assumed Obligations, and (ii) obligations, indebtedness or liabilities to the extent of any Adjustment Amount credited to the Buyer.
(c) Claims by any other party claiming to have represented Seller as broker or agent in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

29 |
10.4 Administration of Indemnification. For purposes of administering the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 10.2 and Section 10.3, the following procedure shall apply:
(a) Whenever a claim shall arise for indemnification under this ARTICLE X, the party entitled to indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give a reasonably prompt written notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) setting forth in reasonable detail, to the extent then available, the facts concerning the nature of such claim and the basis upon which the Indemnified Party believes that it is entitled to indemnification hereunder.
(b) In the event of any claim for indemnification resulting from or in connection with any claim by a third party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, at its sole expense, either (i) to participate in defending against such claim or (ii) to assume the entire defense with counsel which is selected by it and which is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, provided that no settlement shall be made and no judgment consented to without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If, however, (x) the claim, action, suit or proceeding would, if successful, result in the imposition of damages for which the Indemnifying Party would not be solely responsible, or (y) representation of both parties by the same counsel would otherwise be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, then the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the entire defense and each party shall be entitled to retain counsel who shall cooperate with one another in defending against such claim. In the case of clause (x), the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to bear only that portion of the expense of the Indemnified Party’s counsel that is in proportion to the damages indemnifiable by the Indemnifying Party compared to the total amount of the third-party claim against the Indemnified Party. In the case of clause (y), the Indemnifying Party shall pay all costs of defense of both itself and the actual, reasonable, out-of-pocket costs of the Indemnified Party.
(c) If the Indemnifying Party does not choose to defend against a claim by a third party, the Indemnified Party may defend in such manner as it deems appropriate or settle the claim (after giving notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party) on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate, and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to periodic reimbursement from the Indemnifying Party of reasonable defense expenses incurred and prompt indemnification from the Indemnifying Party in accordance with this ARTICLE X.
(d) Failure or delay by an Indemnified Party to give a reasonably prompt notice of any claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect an Indemnifying Party’s obligations with respect to the claim, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party can demonstrate actual Loss or prejudice as a result of such failure or delay. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties agree that no indemnification right or obligation shall apply to the extent any such Loss or expense is paid to an Indemnified Party by an insurance company.
(e) The right to pursue indemnification as set forth in Sections 10.2(a) and 10.3(a) shall survive the Closing hereunder for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Closing, and the right to pursue indemnification as set forth in all other Sections of this ARTICLE X shall survive the Closing hereunder indefinitely.
30 |
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the right to pursue indemnification as set forth in this ARTICLE X shall be actionable or payable only if valid claims for Losses, if any, collectively aggregate more than TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND and No/100 U.S. Dollars ($25,000.00 (the “Floor”), provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply in the case of fraud on the part of Buyer, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates, or to any claims arising under Section 10.2(b) or Section 10.3(b) (none of which shall be limited in any manner whatsoever). In addition, Buyer agrees to concurrently seek recovery against Seller, under any insurance policies, the Title Policy and other applicable agreements, and Seller shall not be liable to Buyer to the extent Buyer’s claim is actually satisfied from any sums recovered from such insurance policies, Title Policy or other applicable agreements. FINALLY, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY EVER BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OTHER THAN IN THE EVENT OF FRAUD.
10.5 Guaranty. In order to secure the indemnities provided by Seller and other obligations of Seller provided for herein, at Closing, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx agree to provide a personal, joint and several, guaranty to Buyer in the cumulative amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (the “Guaranty”) for a period of eighteen (18) months from the Closing in the form attached as Exhibit J to this Agreement.

12.5 Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned by any party prior to Closing without the written consent of the Buyer and Seller, which consent may be given or withheld in each such party’s sole and absolute discretion, except that Buyer may assign this Agreement and its rights hereunder without the consent of Seller (i) to an Affiliate of Buyer, (ii) to a partnership in which Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer is a general partner, (iii) a limited liability company in which Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer is a manager or managing member or (iv) any other lawful entity entitled to do business in the state in which the Property is located provided such entity is controlled by, controlling or under the common control with Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer (each, a “Permitted Buyer-Assignee”). In the event of such an assignment to a Permitted Buyer-Assignee, Buyer shall not be released from any of its duties, covenants, obligations or representations and warranties under this Agreement and, from and after any such assignment, Buyer and such Permitted Buyer-Assignee shall be jointly and severally liable under this Agreement, and from and after any such assignment, the term “Buyer” shall be deemed to mean such Permitted Buyer-Assignee under any such assignment.
12.6 Governing Law. This Agreement shall in all respects be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Real Property is located without regard to its principles of conflicts of laws. Venue for any dispute shall be in Summit County, Ohio.
12.7 Amendments and Waivers. No term or provision of this Agreement may be amended, waived, discharged, or terminated orally, except by an instrument in writing signed by: (i) Buyer and Seller with respect to any provision contained herein; and (ii) Buyer, Seller, and Escrow Agent with respect to Section 2.6 hereof. Any waiver shall be effective only in accordance with its express terms and conditions.
12.8 Joint and Several. If there is more than one Seller hereunder, Seller shall be jointly and severally liable with the other Seller for performing all obligations of Seller under this Agreement.
12.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the parties hereto hereby waive any provision of Applicable Law now or hereafter in effect which renders any provision hereof unenforceable in any respect.
12.10 Headings. The captions in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not define or limit any of the terms or provisions hereof.
12.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and accepted in one or more counterparts for the convenience of the parties, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.

12.12 References. All references in this Agreement to Articles and Sections are to Articles and Sections contained in this Agreement unless a different document is expressly specified.
35 |
12.13 Schedules and Exhibits. Each Schedule and Exhibit referred to in this Agreement shall be deemed to be attached hereto and incorporated by reference even though it may be maintained separately from this Agreement or completed after the Effective Date so long as it is acknowledged as a Schedule or an Exhibit to this Agreement by the parties hereto as of Closing. Any item disclosed hereunder (including in the Schedules and Exhibits hereto) shall be deemed disclosed for all purposes hereof irrespective of the specific representation or warranty to which it is explicitly referenced. The Schedules and Exhibits shall be prepared by Seller and mutually agreed to by the parties within five (5) business days after the Effective Date. The parties agree to cooperate and act in good faith during the preparation of such documents.
12.14 Attorneys’ and Expert Witness 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 costs, fees and expenses incurred in the dispute, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ and expert witness. For purposes of this Section 12.14, “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.
12.15 Reserved.
12.16 Casualty. The risk of any loss or damage to the Property by fire or other casualty before the Closing shall continue to be borne by Seller. Seller shall promptly give Buyer written notice of any fire or other casualty (in any event within five (5) days after Seller first has Knowledge of the occurrence of same), which notice shall include a description thereof in reasonable detail and an estimate of the cost of time to repair. If (i) any portion of the Property is damaged by fire or casualty after the Effective Date and is not repaired and restored substantially to its original condition prior to Closing, or (ii) at the time of Closing the estimated cost of repairs as to the Property is ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND U.S. DOLLARS ($100,000.00) or less, as determined by an independent adjuster selected by Seller, Buyer shall be required to purchase the Property in accordance with this Agreement, and Buyer shall, at Buyer’s option, either: (x) receive a credit at Closing of the estimated cost or repairs to the Property, as determined by the aforesaid independent adjuster, plus any reasonably estimated lost revenue following Closing arising from such fire or casualty; or (y) receive from Seller at Closing (I) an assignment, without representation or warranty by or recourse against Seller, of all insurance claims and proceeds with respect thereto, plus (II) an amount equal to Seller’s insurance deductible, plus (III) a credit for the amount of any reasonably estimated lost revenue following Closing arising from such fire or casualty. If the estimated cost of repairing such damage to the Property is more than ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND U.S. DOLLARS ($100,000.00), as determined by such independent adjuster, Buyer may, at its sole option: (x) terminate this Agreement by notice to Seller on or before the earlier of the Closing or the tenth (10th) day after receipt of such notice described above, in which event no party shall have any further liability to the party under this Agreement; or (y) proceed to Closing as provided in this Section 12.16. In no event shall the amount of insurance proceeds assigned to Buyer under this subparagraph (plus the amount of the deductible) exceed the lesser of (i) the cost of repair or (ii) the Purchase Price. The parties’ obligations, if any, under this Section 12.16 shall survive the expiration or any termination of this Agreement.
36 |
12.17 Condemnation. The risk of any loss or damage to the Property by condemnation before the Closing shall continue to be borne by Seller. In the event any condemnation proceeding is commenced or threatened, Seller shall promptly give Buyer written notice thereof (in any event within five (5) days after Seller first has Knowledge of the occurrence of same), together with such reasonable details with respect thereto as to which Seller may have Knowledge. If, prior to Closing, there is a material taking by eminent domain at the Property, this Agreement shall become null and void at Buyer’s option, and upon receipt by Seller of the written notice of an election by Buyer to treat this Agreement as null and void, this Agreement shall be deemed null and void. If Buyer elects to proceed and to consummate the purchase despite said material taking, or if there is less than a material taking prior to Closing, there shall be no reduction in or abatement of the Purchase Price and Buyer shall be required to purchase the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and Seller shall assign to Buyer, without representation of warranty by or recourse against Seller, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to any award made or to be made in the condemnation proceeding (in which event Buyer shall have the right to participate in the adjustment and settlement of any insurance claim relating to said damage). For the purpose of this Section 12.17, the term “material” shall mean any taking of in excess of five percent (5%) of the square footage of the Property or ten percent (10%) of the Real Property associated with the Property. The parties’ obligations, if any, under this Section 12.17 shall survive the expiration or any termination of this Agreement.
12.18 Limited Liability. Except as it relates to the Guaranty, no past, present, or future member, partner, shareholder, director, officer of employee of any party to this Agreement shall have any liability or obligation of any nature whatsoever in connection with or under this Agreement or Document contemplated hereby or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any such other agreement.
12.19 Non-controlled Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided elsewhere in this Agreement, none of the provisions of this Agreement shall in any way limit the activities of Affiliates of Buyer that are not under Buyer’s control (“Non-controlled Affiliates”), including, without limitation, Sentinel RE Investment Holdings LP (“Sentinel”) or any other Affiliates of Sentinel, KKR & Co., L.P. or KKR Financial Holdings, LLC, or the respective directors, officers, employees, equity-holders, managers, members, general or limited partners, advisors, agents or other representatives of such Non-controlled Affiliates. For purposes of this Section 12.18, "control" means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of an entity or enterprise, whether through the ownership of voting securities, through other voting rights, by contract or otherwise.
12.20 Survival of Defined Terms. Where this Agreement provides that a term or provision shall survive the Closing or the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, any defined terms contained in ARTICLE I that are used in such surviving term or provision shall also survive.
12.21 Time of Essence. Time shall be of the essence with respect to all matters contemplated by this Agreement.
37 |
12.22 No Third-Party Beneficiary. The provisions of this Agreement and of the documents to be executed and delivered at Closing are and will be for the benefit of the Buyer, Seller, and Escrow Agent only and are not for the benefit of any third party; and, accordingly, no third party shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or of the documents to be executed and delivered at Closing.
12.23 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY EACH PARTY, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. ANY PARTY IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY EACH PARTY HERETO.
