the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, each intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
ACQUISITION OF ACQUIRED COMPANY SECURITIES, CASABLANCA OPTION AND HUD COMPANY SECURITIES |
Subject to the terms and conditions of, and on the basis of and in reliance upon the covenants, agreements and representations and warranties set forth in, this Agreement, (i) at the Core Portfolio Closing, Sellers, as applicable, shall sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to the Buyer, and the Buyer shall purchase and
acquire from such Sellers, free and clear of all Encumbrances except for Permitted Securities Encumbrances, the Acquired Company Securities and the Casablanca Option, and (ii) at the HUD Portfolio Closing, Sellers, as applicable, shall sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to the Buyer, and the Buyer shall purchase and acquire from such Sellers, free and clear of all Encumbrances except for Permitted Securities Encumbrances, the HUD Company Securities.
PURCHASE AND SALE OF ACQUIRED COMPANY SECURITIES AND CASABLANCA OPTION |
Purchase Price. |
(a) The aggregate purchase price for the Acquired Company Securities and the Casablanca Option payable
by the Buyer to Sellers shall be $294,392,470 (the “Base Purchase Price”), consisting of:
(i) an amount in cash equal to $161,440,791 (the “Cash Consideration”);
(ii) $50,820,000 (the “Initial Stock Value”), increased or decreased in accordance with Sections 2.1 and 2.2 (such
adjusted Initial Stock Value, the “Adjusted Stock Value,” and such adjustments, the “Closing Adjustments”), in the form of a number of shares of Buyer Common Stock (such shares, the “Stock
Consideration”) calculated pursuant to Section 2.1(b), of
which $25,000,000 of the Stock Consideration shall constitute the consideration for the Casablanca Option;
(iii) $59,353,561 of Indebtedness of Sellers or the Acquired Companies assumed by the Buyer, which such Indebtedness shall be designated in a certificate delivered from Sellers no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Core Portfolio Closing Date
(the “Assumed Indebtedness”); and
2
(iv) a promissory note made by the Buyer to Sellers in the principal amount of $22,778,117 in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-1 (the
“Note”).
The Base Purchase Price as adjusted pursuant to this Agreement is referred to as the “Final Purchase Price.” The allocation of the Final Purchase Price among the Acquired Companies
agreed to by the Buyer and Sellers is set forth on Schedule 2.1(a) hereto. The Cash Consideration, Stock Consideration and the Note shall be paid to Sellers or their Affiliates as directed by Sellers in a notice delivered no less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Core Portfolio Closing.
(b) The number of shares of Buyer Common Stock that comprise the Stock Consideration shall equal
the Adjusted Stock Value divided by the average VWAP for the five Trading Day period ending with the Trading Day immediately prior to the Core Portfolio Closing Date (the “Core Portfolio Closing Date VWAP”); provided, however,
that the Core Portfolio Closing Date VWAP (i) shall equal 110% of the Initial VWAP if the Core Portfolio Closing Date VWAP is greater than 110% of the Initial VWAP and (ii) shall equal 90% of the Initial VWAP if the Core Portfolio Closing Date VWAP is less than 90% of the Initial VWAP. The “Initial VWAP” shall equal $16.93.
(c) On the Core Portfolio Closing Date, the Initial Stock Value shall be (i) increased, dollar-for-dollar,
to the extent the aggregate principal amount of Assumed Indebtedness is less than $59,353,561, or (ii) decreased, dollar-for-dollar, to the extent the aggregate principal amount of Assumed Indebtedness is greater than $59,353,561.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if CapitalSource notifies Buyer at least two (2) Business Days
prior to the Core Portfolio Closing Date that CapitalSource reasonably anticipates that, following the various adjustments required pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.2 hereof, the aggregate dollar value of the Stock Consideration (the “Closing
Stock Value Amount”) valued at the VWAP as of the day prior to the date such notice is delivered (the “Closing Stock Value”) may be greater than 25% of the sum of (A) the Cash Consideration, plus (B) the Closing Stock Value Amount, plus (C) the amount of the Assumed Indebtedness, plus (D) the principal amount of the Note (the dollar amount of such excess, the “Excess
Stock Value”), then the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock comprising the Stock Consideration shall be reduced by an amount that equals the Excess Stock Value divided by the Closing Stock Value, and the Excess Stock Value shall be paid by the Buyer to Sellers in the form of a new promissory note made by the Buyer to Sellers in the principal amount of such Excess Stock Value (the “Adjustment
Note”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-2.
(e) Tax
Treatment of the Purchase and Sale of Acquired Company Securities. Solely for U.S. federal Income Tax purposes, the Buyer and each Seller, as applicable, shall treat the purchase and sale of the Acquired Company Securities as a purchase and sale of each of the Acquired Properties and other assets owned by the Acquired Companies. The purchase price for Income Tax purposes of the Acquired Properties and other assets shall equal the Final Purchase Price (plus any other items constituting
consideration for purposes of Section 1060 of the Code), minus the value of the Stock Consideration issued in respect of the Casablanca Option. The allocation of such purchase price to the Acquired Properties and other assets of the Acquired Companies shall be agreed to by the Buyer and Sellers within ninety (90) days after the Core Portfolio Closing Date for such Acquired Company Securities. The
Buyer and Sellers and each of their respective Affiliates shall take all actions and properly and timely file all Tax Returns (including, but not limited to, IRS Form 8594 (Asset Acquisition Statement) consistent with such allocation). None of the Sellers or the Buyer shall take any position for U.S. federal Income Tax purposes (whether in audits, Tax Returns or otherwise) that is inconsistent with the allocation unless required to do so by applicable Law. In the event that any Tax authority disputes
such allocation, Sellers or the Buyer, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the other party of the nature of such dispute.
3
Additional Adjustments and Apportionments. |
(a) Sellers and the Buyer hereby acknowledge and agree that, as of the Core Portfolio Closing Date: (i)
certain costs and expenses, including any Taxes (franchise, income or other), relating to the Acquired Companies and the Acquired Properties, (A) may have accrued during and be applicable for the period ending at 12:01 a.m. (New York time) on the Core Portfolio Closing Date (such period, the “Pre-Closing Period”) but will not have been paid by Sellers or the applicable Acquired
Company prior to the end of the Pre-Closing Period (such accrued expenses, if any, that are unpaid as of the end of the Pre-Closing Period being hereinafter referred to as “Accrued Expenses”) or (B) will not accrue until, or may be applicable for, the period after 12:01 a.m. (New York time) on the Core Portfolio Closing Date (the “Post-Closing
Period”) but will have been paid by Sellers or one or more of the applicable Acquired Companies prior to the beginning of the Post-Closing Period (such unaccrued expenses, if any, that have been prepaid as of the beginning of the Post-Closing Period being hereinafter referred to as “Prepaid Expenses”); and (ii) certain items of income and revenue relating
to the Acquired Companies and the Acquired Properties, including, without limitation, rental income (excluding Past Due Rent), (A) may have accrued during or be applicable for the Pre-Closing Period but will not have been paid during the Pre-Closing Period (such accrued income, revenue and other amounts, if any, that are unpaid as of the end of the Pre-Closing Period, the “Accrued
Income”) or (B) will not accrue until, or may be applicable for, the Post-Closing Period but will have been paid prior to the Post-Closing Period (such unaccrued income, revenue and other amounts, if any, that have been prepaid as of the beginning of the Post-Closing Period being hereinafter referred to as “Prepaid Income”). Subject to the other
provisions herein contained, the Accrued Expenses, Prepaid Expenses, Accrued Income and Prepaid Income shall be apportioned (on the basis of a 365 day year) to Sellers with respect to the Pre-Closing Period and the Buyer with respect to the Post-Closing Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Accrued Income” shall exclude any rent as to which the Tenant is fifteen
(15) days or more past due as of the Core Portfolio Closing Date (“Past Due Rent”), and “Accrued Expenses” shall exclude any accrued, but unpaid costs or expenses for which a Tenant is obligated to reimburse any of the Acquired Companies
pursuant to the terms of a Property Lease; provided, however, that in the event a Tenant is, as of the Core Portfolio Closing Date, in default of (and all applicable cure periods have expired), or disputing any obligation to pay such costs or expenses, the amount thereof shall be payable by Sellers for purposes of establishing the apportionments contemplated by this Section 2.2(a). Subsequent
to the Core Portfolio Closing Date, the Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the terms of the applicable Property Lease and shall remit to Sellers the amount of any such defaulted or disputed costs and expenses together with any Past Due Rent actually collected by the Buyer less all fees and expenses incurred by the Buyer in collecting such monies. In addition to the foregoing, any amounts held by Sellers or any of the Acquired Companies as deposits as set forth on Section 4.6(e)
of Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule, (excluding any amount set forth on Schedule 2.2(c)), will be paid (if not already held in an account of the Acquired Companies) over to the Buyer on the Core Portfolio Closing Date, or contributed to the Acquired Companies on or prior to the Core Portfolio Closing Date.
4
(b) Not later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Core Portfolio Closing Date, Sellers shall
prepare and deliver to the Buyer a written statement setting forth, as of the Core Portfolio Closing Date, a reasonably detailed good faith calculation of the Accrued Expenses, Prepaid Expenses, Accrued Income and Prepaid Income for each of the Acquired Companies and Acquired Properties. The Buyer shall have the right to review such written statement and shall notify Sellers of any objection thereto within three (3) Business Days after the receipt thereof. Sellers and the Buyer
shall negotiate in good faith to attempt to resolve any objection made by the Buyer, provided that if the parties are unable to agree upon a reasonably detailed calculation of such amounts at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Core Portfolio Closing Date, the Buyer and Sellers shall promptly cause an independent accountant to be mutually agreed upon by the Buyer and Sellers (the “Accountant”),
to review this Agreement and the disputed amounts for the purposes of calculating such disputed amounts (it being understood that in making such calculation, the Accountant shall be functioning as an expert and not as an arbitrator). In making such calculation, the Accountant shall consider only those amounts in the Sellers’ calculation of the Accrued Expenses, Prepaid Expenses, Accrued Income and Prepaid Income as to which Buyer has disagreed. The Accountant shall deliver to the Buyer
and Sellers, as promptly as practicable, a report setting forth its estimation of each disputed amount. The fees and expenses of any such Accountant shall be shared equally between the Buyer and CapitalSource. If the Buyer does not notify Sellers of any objection within such three Business Day period, the Buyer shall be deemed to have agreed with the apportionments specified in Sellers’ written statement. If, after the Core Portfolio Closing, an error or omission in the
calculation of the Accrued Expenses, Prepaid Expenses, Accrued Income or Prepaid Income is found by one of the parties hereto, such error or omission shall be promptly corrected, and the party hereto who received any over-payment as a result thereof shall pay the amount of such over-payment in cash to the party hereto entitled thereto; provided, however,
that such obligation to correct apportionments shall only survive the Core Portfolio Closing for a period of 365 days; provided, further, that any disagreement with respect to such calculation shall be resolved pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Section 2.2(b).
(c) The Initial Stock Value shall be (i) (A) reduced by the excess, if any, of the aggregate amount
of Accrued Expenses over the aggregate amount of Prepaid Expenses and (B) increased by the excess, if any, of the aggregate amount of Prepaid Expenses over the aggregate amount of Accrued Expenses, and (ii) (A) reduced by the excess, if any, of the aggregate amount of Prepaid Income over the aggregate amount of Accrued Income and (B) increased by the excess, if any, of the aggregate amount of Accrued Income over the aggregate amount of Prepaid Income, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (i) and
(ii), as such amounts are mutually agreed or finally resolved in accordance with Section 2.2(b). In
addition, the Initial Stock Value shall be increased by the amounts held by third parties as of the Core Portfolio Closing Date with respect to all amounts related to the matters set forth on Schedule 2.2(c) hereof
as of the Core Portfolio Closing Date, as set forth in a certificate delivered by Sellers to the Buyer no less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Core Portfolio Closing Date.
5
Payments and Computations. |
All payments to be made under this Agreement by any party hereto shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by the party receiving such payment. All computations of interest with respect to any amounts due from or to either party hereto pursuant to this Agreement
will be made on the basis of a year of 365 days, in each case for the actual number of days (excluding the first day, but including the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. All calculations of shares of Buyer Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2 and Section
3 of this Agreement shall (i) be equitably adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reclassification, recombination or the like with respect to the entire class of Buyer Common Stock that occurs between the date of this Agreement and the applicable Closing Date, and (ii) rounded down to the largest whole number of shares.

notice delivered no less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the HUD Portfolio Closing Date, an increase in the Initial HUD Portfolio Stock Value pursuant to (B) above in an amount specified in such notice up to $31,050,520 with a corresponding reduction in the principal amount of the HUD Portfolio Note; provided, however that Sellers may not elect to increase the Initial HUD
Portfolio Stock Value in excess of the amount which would result in the issuance of Buyer Common Stock in an amount that when added to the Buyer Common Stock beneficially owned by Sellers as reported on the most recent Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G filed by Sellers or their Affiliates, would result in Sellers or any of their Affiliates beneficially owning more than 9.89% of the Buyer Common Stock upon the HUD Portfolio Closing Date.
The Base HUD Portfolio Purchase Price as adjusted pursuant to this Agreement is referred to as the “HUD Portfolio Final Purchase Price.” The HUD Portfolio Cash Consideration, HUD
Portfolio Stock Consideration and the HUD Portfolio Note shall be paid to Sellers or their Affiliates as directed by Sellers in a notice delivered no less than three (3) Business Days prior to the HUD Portfolio Closing.
(b) The number of shares of Buyer Common Stock that comprise the HUD Portfolio Stock Consideration
shall equal the HUD Portfolio Adjusted Stock Value divided by the average VWAP for the five Trading Day period ending with the Trading Day immediately prior to the HUD Portfolio Closing Date (the “HUD Portfolio Closing Date VWAP”); provided, however,
that the HUD Portfolio Closing Date VWAP (i) shall equal 110% of the Initial VWAP if the HUD Portfolio Closing Date VWAP is greater than 110% of the Initial VWAP and (ii) shall equal 90% of the Initial VWAP if the HUD Portfolio Closing Date VWAP is less than 90% of the Initial VWAP.
(c) (i) If the New HUD Indebtedness has been obtained and closed on or prior to March 31, 2010,
then on the HUD Portfolio Closing Date, the Initial HUD Portfolio Stock Value shall be (i) increased, dollar-for-dollar, to the extent the aggregate principal amount of Assumed HUD Portfolio Indebtedness is less than $205,293,997 or (ii) decreased, dollar-for-dollar, to the extent the aggregate principal amount of Assumed HUD Portfolio Indebtedness is greater than $205,293,997.
7
(ii) If the New HUD Indebtedness has not been obtained and closed on or prior to March 31, 2010, then on the HUD Portfolio Closing Date, the Initial HUD Portfolio Stock Value shall be (i) increased, dollar-for-dollar, to the extent the aggregate principal amount of Assumed HUD Portfolio Indebtedness is less than $75,687,797 or
(ii) decreased, dollar-for-dollar, to the extent the aggregate principal amount of Assumed HUD Portfolio Indebtedness is greater than $75,687,797.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if CapitalSource notifies Buyer at least two (2) Business Days
prior to the HUD Portfolio Closing Date that CapitalSource reasonably anticipates that, following the various adjustments required pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.2 hereof, the aggregate dollar value of the HUD Portfolio Stock Consideration (the “Closing
HUD Portfolio Stock Value Amount”) valued at the VWAP as of the day prior to the date such notice is delivered (the “Closing HUD Portfolio Stock Value”) may be greater than 25% of the sum of (A) the HUD Portfolio Cash Consideration, plus (B) the Closing HUD Portfolio Stock Value Amount, plus (C) the amount of the Assumed HUD Portfolio Indebtedness, plus (D) the
principal amount of the HUD Portfolio Note (the dollar amount of such excess, the “HUD Portfolio Excess Stock Value”), then the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock comprising the HUD Portfolio Stock Consideration shall be reduced by an amount that equals the Excess Stock Value divided by the Closing HUD Portfolio Stock Value, and the HUD Portfolio Excess Stock Value shall
be paid by the Buyer to Sellers in the form of a new promissory note made by the Buyer to Sellers in the principal amount of the HUD Portfolio Excess Stock Value (the “HUD Portfolio Adjustment Note”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-2.
(e) Tax
Treatment of the Purchase and Sale of HUD Company Securities. Solely for U.S. federal Income Tax purposes, the Buyer and each Seller, as applicable, shall treat the purchase and sale of the HUD Company Securities as a purchase and sale of each of the HUD Properties. The purchase price for Income Tax purposes of the HUD Properties and other assets shall equal the HUD Portfolio Final Purchase Price (plus any other items constituting consideration for purposes of Section 1060 of the
Code). The allocation of such purchase price to the HUD Properties and other assets of the HUD Companies shall be agreed to by the Buyer and the Sellers within ninety (90) days after the HUD Portfolio Closing Date. The Buyer and Sellers and each of their respective Affiliates shall take all actions and properly and timely file all Tax Returns (including, but not limited to, IRS
Form 8594 (Asset Acquisition Statement)) consistent with such allocation. None of the Sellers or the Buyer shall take any position for Income Tax purposes (whether in audits, Tax Returns or otherwise) that is inconsistent with such allocation unless required to do so by applicable Law. In the event that any Tax authority disputes such allocation, Sellers or the Buyer, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the other party of the nature of such dispute.
(f) If, as of March 31, 2010, Sellers have obtained the New HUD Indebtedness but the various requirements
that are conditions precedent to the Buyer’s assumption of such indebtedness (including, without limitation, the Seller Consents) have not been fulfilled, the HUD Portfolio Closing Date shall be automatically extended; provided, that such extension shall not effect the rights of the parties to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section
10.1(a)(i).

Additional Adjustments and Apportionments. |
(a) Sellers and the Buyer hereby acknowledge and agree that, as of the HUD Portfolio Closing Date:
(i) certain costs and expenses, including any Taxes (franchise, income or other), relating to the HUD Companies and the HUD Properties, (A) may have accrued during and be applicable for the period ending at 12:01 a.m. (New York time) on the HUD Portfolio Closing Date (such period, the “Pre-HUD Portfolio Closing Period”) but will not have been paid by Sellers or the applicable
HUD Company prior to the end of the Pre-HUD Portfolio Closing Period (such accrued expenses, if any, that are unpaid as of the end of the Pre-HUD Portfolio Closing Period being hereinafter referred to as “Accrued HUD Portfolio Expenses”) or (B) will not accrue until, or may be applicable for, the period after 12:01 a.m. (New York time) on the HUD Portfolio Closing Date (the
“Post-HUD Portfolio Closing Period”) but will have been paid by Sellers or one or more of the applicable HUD Companies prior to the beginning of the Post-HUD Portfolio Closing Period (such unaccrued expenses, if any, that have been prepaid as of the beginning of the Post-HUD Portfolio Closing Period being hereinafter referred to as “Prepaid
HUD Portfolio Expenses”); and (ii) certain items of income and revenue relating to the HUD Companies and the HUD Properties, including, without limitation, rental income (excluding Past Due Rent), (A) may have accrued during or be applicable for the Pre-HUD Portfolio Closing Period but will not have been paid during the Pre-HUD Portfolio Closing Period (such accrued income, revenue and other amounts, if any, that are unpaid as of the end of the Pre-HUD Portfolio Closing Period, the “Accrued
HUD Portfolio Income”) or (B) will not accrue until, or may be applicable for, the Post-HUD Portfolio Closing Period but will have been paid prior to the Post-HUD Portfolio Closing Period (such unaccrued income, revenue and other amounts, if any, that has been prepaid as of the beginning of the Post-HUD Portfolio Closing Period being hereinafter referred to as “Prepaid
HUD Portfolio Income”). Subject to the other provisions herein contained, the Accrued HUD Portfolio Expenses, Prepaid HUD Portfolio Expenses, Accrued HUD Portfolio Income and Prepaid HUD Portfolio Income shall be apportioned (on the basis of a 365 day year) to Sellers with respect to the Pre-HUD Portfolio Closing Period and the Buyer with respect to the Post-HUD Portfolio Closing Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Accrued
HUD Portfolio Income” shall exclude any Past Due Rent, and “Accrued HUD Portfolio Expenses” shall exclude any accrued, but unpaid costs or expenses for which a Tenant is obligated to reimburse any of the HUD Companies pursuant to the terms of a Property Lease; provided, however,
that in the event a Tenant is, as of the HUD Portfolio Closing Date, in default of (and all applicable cure periods have expired), or disputing any obligation to pay such costs or expenses, the amount thereof shall be payable by Sellers for purposes of establishing the apportionments contemplated by this Section 3.2(a). Subsequent to the HUD Portfolio Closing Date, the Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the terms of the applicable Property Lease and shall remit to Sellers
the amount of any such defaulted or disputed costs together with any Past Due Rent actually collected by the Buyer less any fees and expenses incurred by the Buyer in collecting such monies. In addition to the foregoing, any amounts held by Sellers or any of the HUD Companies as deposits as set forth on Section 4.6(e)
of Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule (excluding any amount set forth on Schedule 2.2(c)), will be paid (if not already held in an account of the HUD Companies) over to the Buyer on the HUD Portfolio Closing Date, or contributed to the HUD Companies on or prior to the HUD Portfolio Closing Date.
9
(b) Not later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the HUD Portfolio Closing Date, Sellers shall
prepare and deliver to the Buyer a written statement setting forth, as of the HUD Portfolio Closing Date, a reasonably detailed good faith calculation of the Accrued HUD Portfolio Expenses, Prepaid HUD Portfolio Expenses, Accrued HUD Portfolio Income and Prepaid HUD Portfolio Income for each of the HUD Companies and HUD Properties. The Buyer shall have the right to review such written statement and shall notify Sellers of any objection thereto within three (3) Business Days after the receipt thereof. Sellers
and the Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to attempt to resolve any objection made by the Buyer, provided that if the parties are unable to agree upon a reasonably detailed calculation of such amounts at least five (5) Business Days prior to the HUD Portfolio Closing Date, the Buyer and Sellers shall promptly cause the Accountant to review this Agreement and the disputed amounts for the purposes of calculating such disputed amounts (it being understood that in making such calculation, the Accountant shall be
functioning as an expert and not as an arbitrator). In making such calculation, the Accountant shall consider only those amounts in the Sellers’ calculation of the Accrued HUD Portfolio Expenses, Prepaid HUD Portfolio Expenses, Accrued HUD Portfolio Income and Prepaid HUD Portfolio Income as to which Buyer has disagreed. The Accountant shall deliver to the Buyer and Sellers, as promptly as practicable, a report setting forth its estimation of each disputed amount. The fees
and expenses of any such Accountant shall be shared equally between the Buyer and CapitalSource. If the Buyer does not notify Sellers of any objection within such three Business Day period, the Buyer shall be deemed to have agreed with the apportionments specified in Sellers’ written statement. If, after the HUD Portfolio Closing, an error or omission in the calculation of the Accrued HUD Portfolio Expenses, Prepaid HUD Portfolio Expenses, Accrued HUD Portfolio Income or Prepaid HUD
Portfolio Income is found by one of the parties hereto, such error or omission shall be promptly corrected, and the party hereto who received any over-payment as a result thereof shall pay the amount of such over-payment in cash to the party hereto entitled thereto; provided, however,
that such obligation to correct apportionments shall survive only the HUD Portfolio Closing for a period of 365 days; provided, further, that any disagreement with respect to such calculation shall be resolved pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Section
3.2(b).
(c) The Initial HUD Portfolio Stock Value shall be (i) (A) reduced by the excess, if any, of the
aggregate amount of Accrued HUD Portfolio Expenses over the aggregate amount of Prepaid HUD Portfolio Expenses and (B) increased by the excess, if any, of the aggregate amount of Prepaid HUD Portfolio Expenses over the aggregate amount of Accrued HUD Portfolio Expenses, and (ii) (A) reduced by the excess, if any, of the aggregate amount of Prepaid HUD Portfolio Income over the aggregate amount of Accrued HUD Portfolio Income and (B) increased by the excess, if any, of the aggregate amount of Accrued HUD
Portfolio Income over the aggregate amount of Prepaid HUD Portfolio Income, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), as such amounts are mutually agreed or finally resolved in accordance with Section 3.2(b). In addition, the Initial HUD Portfolio Stock Value shall be increased by the amounts held by third parties as of the HUD Portfolio Closing Date with respect
to all amounts related to the matters set forth on Schedule 2.2(c) hereof as of
the HUD Portfolio Closing Date, as set forth in a certificate delivered by Sellers to the Buyer no less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the HUD Portfolio Closing Date.
10
Delta Notes. |
Pursuant to those eleven Property Leases listed on Section
4.6(e) of Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule, where the Tenant is either Delta Health Group, Inc. or Pensacola Health Trust, Inc. (the “Delta Leases”), the Tenant thereunder is obligated to pay percentage rent to the applicable HUD Portfolio Company. It is anticipated that prior to the HUD Portfolio Closing Date, each of the Delta Leases will be
amended to remove the requirement that the Tenant pay percentage rent. In the event such lease amendments have not been entered into prior to the HUD Portfolio Closing Date, the Buyer shall collect and remit to the Sellers under the Delta Purchase Agreement all payments required to be made to such Sellers by CHR HUD Borrower, as successor by merger to CSE SNF Holding II LLC, pursuant to Section 2.9 of the Delta Purchase Agreement (as in effect on November 16, 2009, and a true and correct copy of which
agreement has been provided by CHR HUD Borrower to the Buyer) and shall indemnify CHR HUD Borrower in the event it fails to remit any such payments; provided, however, that in no event shall Buyer be obligated to make any such payments (or to indemnify CHR HUD Borrower,
or otherwise be liable, for failing to make such payments) except to the extent of collected funds actually received from Tenants under the Delta Leases as payments of percentage rent thereunder. At the HUD Portfolio Closing, the Buyer and CHR HUD Borrower shall enter into an agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to each with respect to the foregoing. For avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that the Buyer has not agreed to assume any obligations under
the Delta Purchase Agreement, including but not limited to those set forth in Section 2.9 thereof.

Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule, no Acquired Company owns, or has owned since its date of formation or organization, any assets or properties (whether real, personal, tangible, intangible or mixed) other than the Acquired Properties and, as of immediately prior to the Core Portfolio Closing Date, none of the Acquired Companies will own any assets or properties other than the Acquired Properties.

To the Knowledge of Sellers, the
applicable covenants, easements or rights-of-way affecting any Acquired Property do not in any material respect impair any Acquired Company’s ability to use such Acquired Property in the operation of its business as conducted presently and as of immediately prior to the Core Portfolio Closing. Each Acquired Company (as applicable) has, in all material respects, sufficient access to public roads, streets or the like or valid perpetual easements over private streets, roads or other private property
for such ingress to and egress from the Acquired Properties to use them in the operation of the business of the applicable Acquired Company as conducted presently and as of immediately prior to the Core Portfolio Closing. For the purposes of this Section 4.6(b), “insurable title” is deemed to be such title as a nationally reputable title company will insure at standard
rates.

directly affecting any Acquired Property, or (ii) from any utility company or municipality of any fact or condition that would be reasonably likely to result in the discontinuation of presently available sewer, water, electric, gas, telephone or other utilities or services for any Acquired Property, or that assert the current use of any of the Acquired Properties violate any applicable zoning ordinances or interfere with any such utility company’s or municipality’s easement rights with respect
to any such Acquired Property.
(d) No Seller or any Acquired Company is or, other than as entered into in accordance with Section
6.1(b), as of immediately prior to the Closing will be, party to any lease or license with respect to any Acquired Property other than: (i) the Property Leases, (ii) immaterial leases entered into in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice and (iii) leases terminable with 30 days notice without any penalty or premium.

4.6(e) of Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule, each Property Lease is in full force and effect and has not been modified, supplemented or amended in any way. Neither any Seller nor any Acquired Company has received any written notice from any Tenant that such Tenant desires to terminate or amend a Property Lease. The Acquired Companies are the sole landlord parties under the Property Leases. Except as set forth on Section
4.6(e) of Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule, neither any Seller nor any Acquired Company (during the period of ownership of the Acquired Companies by Sellers) has received any written notification from any Tenant that an Acquired Company is in default under any Property Lease. No Acquired Company is in default under any Property Lease. Except as set forth on Section
4.6(e) of Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule, no Acquired Company (during the period of ownership of the Acquired Companies by Sellers) has given notice to any Tenant that such Tenant or any of its Affiliates are in default under any Property Lease.

A complete and accurate list of all security deposits (specifying the nature of such deposit), tax reserves, insurance reserves, capital expenditure reserves, and any other deposits and reserves maintained by any Seller or an Acquired Company in connection with each Property Lease is set forth on Section
4.6(e) of Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule.
(f) No part of any Acquired Property, including, without limitation, any building or improvement thereon, is subject to any purchase option, right of first refusal or first offer or other similar right, except
as set forth on Section 4.6(f) of Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule. The rights of first refusal arising under the Property Leases described in Section 4.6(f) of Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule will not give rise to any rights to acquire the underlying
property in the context of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other than the rights of first refusal with respect to the Xxxxx Leases.
(g) All brokerage commissions and other compensation and fees for which any Seller or Acquired Company would be liable at or after Core Portfolio Closing by reason of the acquisition of any Acquired Property have been or
will be paid in full on or before the Core Portfolio Closing.

of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
5.11 |
Taxes. |
(a) The Buyer and its Subsidiaries have timely filed all Tax Returns (including all federal and
state Income Tax Returns) required to be filed by them with the appropriate Governmental Entity (taking into account all validly and duly obtained extensions of time to file), and such Tax Returns are true, correct, and complete in all material respects other than Tax Returns the Tax on which would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Buyer or its Subsidiaries.
29
(b) The Buyer and its Subsidiaries have timely paid all Taxes (including all federal and state Income
Taxes) required to be paid by them (whether or not shown on such filed Tax Returns) other than Taxes which would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Buyer or its Subsidiaries. The Buyer and its Subsidiaries have withheld and paid all withholding Taxes required to be withheld or paid by it other than Taxes which would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Buyer or its Subsidiaries.
(c) Neither the Buyer nor any of its Subsidiaries is the subject of any audit, examination, or similar Proceeding or claim in respect of any Taxes or assessment, and to the Knowledge of the Buyer, no audit, examination
or other Proceeding or claim in respect of any additional Taxes or assessment against the Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries is pending.
(d) Commencing with the Buyer’s first taxable year ended December 31, 1992, (i) the Buyer
has been subject to taxation as a real estate investment trust within the meaning of Section 856 of the Code (a “REIT”) and has satisfied all requirements to qualify as a REIT, and has so qualified, for each of its taxable years, (ii) has operated in a manner that will permit it to qualify as a REIT for the taxable year or years that include the date hereof and the Core Portfolio
Closing Date, HUD Portfolio Closing Date and Casablanca Option Closing Date, and (iii) intends to continue to operate in such a manner as to permit it to continue to qualify as a REIT for the taxable year or years that includes the Core Portfolio Closing Date, HUD Portfolio Closing Date and Casablanca Option Closing Date.
(e) Each of the Buyer’s Subsidiaries (or other entity in which the Buyer owns, directly or indirectly, greater than 10% of such entity’s outstanding securities) that is a corporation or has elected to
be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal Tax purposes qualifies as a “qualified REIT subsidiary”, within the meaning of Section 856(i) of the Code, or as a “taxable REIT subsidiary”, within the meaning of Section 856(l) of the Code.
(f) Except as set forth in Section 5.11(f)
of Buyer’s Disclosure Schedule, neither the Buyer nor its Subsidiaries has requested a private letter ruling, technical advice memorandum, or other written determination from the Internal Revenue Service or comparable rulings or determination from any other taxing authority, or has entered into or is currently negotiating any “closing agreement” as described in
Section 7121 of the Code or any similar agreement with any other taxing authority.
(g) Neither the Buyer nor its Subsidiaries holds any asset (or interest in an asset) the disposition
of which would be subject, under Treasury Regulation Section 1.337(d)-6 or Treasury Regulation Section 1.337(d)-7, to rules similar to Section 1374 of the Code, other than assets the dispositions of which would result in a Tax liability that would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Buyer or its Subsidiaries.
(h) Neither the Buyer nor its Subsidiaries has engaged in any action or transaction that likely
would result in, or has otherwise incurred, any liability for Taxes under Sections 856(c)(7), 857(b), 857(f), 860(c) or 4981 of the Code that have not previously been paid, other than Taxes that would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Buyer or its Subsidiaries. Neither the Buyer nor its Subsidiaries (other than a “taxable REIT subsidiary” or any Subsidiary of a “taxable REIT subsidiary”) has engaged at any time in any “prohibited transactions” within the
meaning of Section 857(b)(6) of the Code, other than transactions the Tax liability with respect to which would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Buyer or its Subsidiaries. Neither the Buyer nor its Subsidiaries has engaged in any transaction that would give rise to “redetermined rents, redetermined deductions and excess interest” described in Section 857(b)(7) of the Code.

Tax described in the preceding sentences will be imposed on the Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries other than transactions the Tax liability with respect to which would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Buyer or its Subsidiaries.

In
connection therewith, if any administrative or judicial action or proceeding is instituted challenging the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents as violative of any applicable Law, each of the parties hereto shall cooperate and use all commercially reasonable efforts to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed, or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent (each an “Order”),
that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents, or restricts consummation of such transactions, unless by mutual agreement the Buyer and Sellers decide that litigation is not in their respective best interests. The Buyer and Sellers shall each use all commercially reasonable efforts to take such action as may be required to cause the expiration of the notice periods under the applicable Laws with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents as promptly as possible after the
execution of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) none of the Buyer, any of its Subsidiaries or any Affiliate thereof shall (a) be required to divest any of its or its Subsidiaries’ or Affiliates’ businesses or assets, or (b) to take or agree to take any other action or agree to any limitation that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or a material adverse effect on the Buyer, any of its Subsidiaries or any Affiliates thereof or
the Acquired Companies (or any of them) from and after the Core Portfolio Closing Date and (ii) none of Sellers or any Affiliate thereof shall (x) be required to divest any of their respective businesses, or assets, or (y) to take or agree to take any other action or agree to any limitation that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Acquired Companies or a material adverse effect on any of its Subsidiaries or any Affiliates thereof or any Seller or any of their respective
Affiliates from and after the Core Portfolio Closing Date. Without limiting, and in furtherance of, the foregoing, Sellers shall, and shall cause each Acquired Company to, fully cooperate with the Buyer in connection with the Buyer obtaining title policies (and customary endorsements thereto), surveys, zoning reports or certificates and any other property-level inquiries or undertakings sought by the Buyer with respect to the Acquired Properties, and Sellers shall, and shall cause each Acquired Company
to, subject to the last sentence of Section 6.2(a),
grant access to the Acquired Properties and execute and deliver any certificates or affidavits reasonably requested in connection therewith (including any title affidavit and indemnity relating to customary non-imputation endorsements) at or prior to Closing.
No
Solicitation. |
During the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the Termination Date, except for the matters set forth on Schedule 6.1(b):
(a) Neither any Seller, any Acquired Company nor any of its or their respective Affiliates shall,
and each of the foregoing shall not allow any Person acting on its behalf to, directly or indirectly, continue, initiate, encourage, solicit or participate in discussions or negotiations with, or provide any nonpublic information to, any Person (other than the Buyer and its representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents) concerning (i) any sale of assets of any Acquired Company (other than in the ordinary course of its business and consistent
with past practice), (ii) any sale of any securities of any Acquired Company including, without limitation, the Acquired Company Securities, the HUD Company Securities or the Casablanca Units, (iii) any other transaction including, without limitation, a merger, consolidation, recapitalization, liquidation or similar transaction, directly involving any Acquired Company (collectively, an “Acquisition
Transaction”) or (iv) enter into any agreement, understanding or arrangement with respect to an Acquisition Transaction. In addition to the foregoing, no Seller shall agree to engage in any Acquisition Transaction unless the terms thereof expressly exclude the Acquired Companies and the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Sellers shall advise their financial advisors of Sellers’ obligations pursuant to this Section 6.4 and
instruct such advisors not to take any action in contravention hereof.
35
(b) Sellers shall, and each of them, shall cause each Acquired Company to, promptly communicate
to the Buyer within three (3) Business Days following receipt the terms of any proposal that any of its officers, directors or Persons serving in similar capacities may receive after the date of this Agreement in respect of an Acquisition Transaction. Any notification under this Section 6.4(b) shall
include the identity of each Person making such proposal, the terms of such proposal and any other information with respect thereto as the Buyer may reasonably request.
(c) Sellers hereby agree that a monetary remedy for a breach of the agreements set forth in this Section 6.4 will
be inadequate and impracticable, and that any such breach would cause the Buyer and its Affiliates irreparable harm. In the event of a breach of this Section 6.4, in addition to any other remedies available to the Buyer, without
the requirement of posting any bond or other security, the Buyer shall be entitled to seek equitable remedies in a court of competent jurisdiction regarding this Section 6.4, including, without limitation, the equitable remedy of specific
performance with respect to the provisions of this Section 6.4, and shall be entitled to such injunctive relief, including temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions, as a court of competent jurisdiction
shall determine with respect to any such breach of the agreements set forth in this Section 6.4; provided; however,
that, in the event that the Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(a)(iii), the Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy in respect of such termination (including any breach by Sellers, any Acquired Company or any of their respective Affiliates of the agreements set forth in this Section 6.4)
shall be to pursue an action against Sellers for Damages as provided in Section 10.2, and neither any Seller, any Acquired Company nor any of their respective Affiliates shall have any further obligations or liabilities under this
Agreement except as otherwise provided in Section 10.2.
(d) For the avoidance of doubt, any breach by a Seller, any Acquired Company or any of their respective
Affiliates of any provision of Section 6.4(a) that is not cured within five (5) Business Days shall be
deemed to be a material breach of this Agreement and, for purposes of the exercise by the Buyer of its termination rights pursuant to Section 10.1(a)(iii), after such cure period such breach shall be deemed incapable of being cured prior to the Termination Date.
36

Any

of Sellers) shall enter into an agreement at or before the Core Portfolio Closing Date, HUD Portfolio Closing Date or Casablanca Option Closing Date, as applicable, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Intercreditor Agreements”), pursuant to
which Sellers (or such Affiliates) agree, among other things, that any exercise of any rights or remedies arising under, pursuant to or in connection with any such Contract, shall in no way terminate, impair, alter, extinguish or otherwise affect the terms or conditions of any Property Lease between any Acquired Company and such Tenant or Facility Operator.
Title
Searches; Title Commitments. |
(a) Existing
Title Policies. For any Acquired Properties with respect to which the applicable Acquired Company is the named insured under an existing policy of title insurance covering such Acquired Property (an “Insured Property”), as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, Sellers shall cause title searches (the “Title
Searches”) covering the Acquired Properties from the date the applicable Acquired Company acquired its interest in the applicable Insured Property through the most recent date the applicable real estate records can be searched to be issued by the title insurer, together with copies of all documents evidencing the items referred to as exceptions in the Title Searches. Sellers shall be obligated to cure any title encumbrances with respect to (i) deeds of trust, mortgages, assignments of
leases and rents, fixture filings and security interests and encumbrances securing money borrowed from a financial institution (such as a bank, savings and loan, insurance company, or the like) securing obligations other than the Assumed Indebtedness, and (ii) other liens, that can be cured solely by the payment of a liquidated amount, in each case from the closing proceeds payable to Sellers or otherwise.
(b) No
Title Policy. For any Acquired Properties with respect to which the applicable Acquired Company is not the named insured under an existing policy of title insurance covering such Acquired Property (an “Uninsured Property”), as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, Sellers shall cause title insurance commitments (the “Title
Commitments”) covering the Uninsured Properties to be issued by a nationally recognized title insurer reasonably acceptable to Buyer, committing the title insurer to issue its current form of ALTA owner’s or leasehold title insurance policy to the Acquired Company in the amount of the Final Purchase Price allocated to each Uninsured Property (each a “Title Policy”),
together with copies of all documents evidencing the items referred to as exceptions in the Title Commitments. Sellers shall be obligated to cure any title encumbrances with respect to (i) deeds of trust, mortgages, assignments of leases and rents, fixture filings and security interests and encumbrances securing money borrowed from a financial institution (such as a bank, savings and loan, insurance company, or the like) securing obligations other than the Assumed Indebtedness, and (ii) other liens
that can be cured solely by the payment of a liquidated amount, in each case from the closing proceeds payable to Sellers or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any Uninsured Property for which an affiliate of an Acquired Company is the insured under an existing policy of title insurance, Sellers shall be permitted to obtain an endorsement to such title policy from the issuer thereof changing the insured to the applicable Acquired Company; upon the issuance of such endorsement,
such Acquired Property shall thereafter be an Insured Property for all purposes of this Agreement.

Prior to the earlier of (A) the Casablanca Option Closing Date and (B) the termination of the Casablanca Option, Sellers
shall provide, and shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause their officers and employees to provide, on a timely basis, all reasonable cooperation requested by the Buyer and that is customary for sellers to provide in connection with the arrangement of the financing to be incurred by the Buyer (the “Financing”) in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby and by the Transaction Documents (provided that such requested cooperation does not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of Sellers or their Affiliates), including using its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) facilitate the provision of guarantees and pledge of collateral (effective as of the Core Portfolio Closing Date, HUD Portfolio Closing Date or Casablanca Option Closing Date, as applicable), (ii) provide financial and other pertinent information regarding the Acquired Companies
and the Acquired Properties as may be reasonably requested in writing by the Buyer, (iii) to the extent not previously provided provide copies of the most recent appraisals, environmental reports, evidence of title (including copies of deeds, lease documentation, title insurance policies and/or commitments for title insurance, title opinions, surveys, and similar information currently maintained on the data site), and similar information as may be reasonably requested by the Buyer with respect to Acquired
Properties and (iv) assist the Buyer and its financing sources as may be reasonably requested in the preparation of all agreements (including review of schedules for completeness) for the Financing insofar as such materials relate to the properties to be acquired by the Buyer, it being understood and agreed that information and documents provided by Sellers may be delivered to agents and lenders (subject to customary arrangements for confidentiality that are substantially similar to the provisions in the
Confidentiality Agreement or reasonably acceptable to the Sellers); provided, however, that no certificate, document or instrument referred to above shall be effective until the Core Portfolio Closing Date, HUD Portfolio Closing Date or Casablanca Option Closing Date, as applicable, and none of the Sellers (nor prior to the applicable closing date, the Acquired Companies, HUD Companies or Casablanca Subsidiaries) shall be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee or incur any other liability or
obligation in connection with the Financing. Buyer shall promptly, upon request by the Sellers, reimburse Sellers for all out-of-pocket costs (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Sellers in connection with the cooperation of Sellers contemplated by this Section 6.16 and
the Buyer. The Buyer shall promptly, upon request by Sellers, reimburse Sellers for all out-of-pocket costs (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Sellers or the Acquired Companies in connection with the cooperation of Sellers contemplated by this Section 6.16 and shall indemnify and hold harmless Sellers and their respective directors, officers, employees and representatives
from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with the arrangement of the Financing and any information used in connection therewith. For the avoidance of doubt, if all or part of the Financing (or any alternative financing) has not been obtained, the Buyer shall continue to be obligated to consummate the acquisition of the Acquired Company Securities and the HUD Company Securities upon the terms and conditions set forth in

(a) In the event that the conditions to the Core Portfolio Closing set forth in Section
7.5 are not satisfied with respect to any of the Acquired Companies on or before the Core Portfolio Closing Date, the Buyer shall notify the Sellers thereof and such notice must include a reasonably detailed description of which conditions were not satisfied and the Acquired Companies affected thereby. Following receipt of such notice, either Sellers or Buyer shall have the right to delay the Core Portfolio Closing with respect to such Acquired Companies or any other Acquired Company covered
by the same Property Lease (the “Deferred Closing Option”), pursuant to this Section 6.18. In such event, the Buyer shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement based on the failure of such condition to be satisfied.
(b) If, pursuant to Section
6.18(a), Sellers or the Buyer elect the Deferred Closing Option, Sellers must notify the Buyer within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the Buyer’s notice pursuant to Section 6.18(a) above, which notice shall identify which Acquired Companies will be excluded from the Core Portfolio Closing on the Core Portfolio Closing Date; (“Delayed
Acquired Company”).
(c) Subject to all other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Sellers and Buyer shall consummate
the Core Portfolio Closing with respect to the Acquired Companies other than the Delayed Acquired Companies, the Base Purchase Price payable shall be reduced in the manner specified by Sellers by the amounts of the purchase price allocated for the Delayed Acquired Companies set forth on Schedule 2.1(a) and the dollar amounts set forth in Section

7.5 are subsequently satisfied for all or any of the Delayed Acquired Companies (or, in the case of Acquired Properties subject to a master lease, all Delayed Acquired Companies which are landlords under the applicable master lease) subsequent to the Core Portfolio Closing, the closings for such Delayed Acquired Companies shall occur simultaneously with the HUD Portfolio Closing and the consideration payable at such closing shall be increased by the amounts of the purchase price allocated for such Delayed
Acquired Companies as set forth on Schedule 2.1(a) and the dollar amounts set forth in Sections 3.1(a)(i)(C), Section 3.1(a)(ii)(C), Section

The Buyer hereby approves the execution and delivery of such documents by the CSE Mortgage Loan Borrowers. CSE shall be
permitted to record such mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt, assignment of leases and rents or other such documents in the applicable land records, and shall be permitted to record and file UCC financing statements in connection therewith, with the expenses of mortgage recordation and title insurance premiums to be split equally between the Buyer and Sellers.

In the event that the HUD Portfolio Closing occurs and the New HUD Indebtedness has not been obtained, the HUD Portfolio Note shall be executed and delivered by certain HUD Companies and shall be secured by mortgage liens on the HUD Properties granted by such HUD Companies to Sellers or an Affiliate and the repayment of the
HUD Portfolio Note shall be guaranteed by the Buyer. Sellers shall designate the HUD Properties that secure the HUD Portfolio Note, which shall not be HUD Properties that secure HUD Financing that is outstanding on the date hereof. The documentation for such liens and guaranty shall be similar to the documentation (including any existing loan agreements) for the CSE Mortgage Loans as reasonably determined by Sellers (and shall include pledges of the equity of the HUD Companies granting such
mortgage liens).

6A.2 Acquired
Companies Tax Compliance Matters.
(a) Pre-Closing
Tax Periods. “Pre-Closing Tax Periods” shall mean with respect to an Acquired Company any Tax period ending on or before the applicable Closing Date for such Acquired Company. “Pre-Closing Taxes”
and “Pre-Closing Tax Returns” shall have the correlative meanings.
(i) All Pre-Closing Tax Returns shall be prepared and filed by the Sellers. If Seller deems necessary, Buyer shall provide to Seller any signature or authorization for signature with respect to any such Pre-Closing Tax Return within
five (5) Business Days of receiving a request therefor from Seller.
45
(ii) All Pre-Closing Taxes, including Straddle Period Taxes allocated to the Sellers under Section 6A.2(c)(ii),
collectively, “Sellers’ Taxes,” (whether reported on a Tax Return or the result of subsequent assessment) shall be the sole responsibility of the applicable Seller and Buyer shall have no liability for any Pre-Closing Taxes.

(v) Straddle Period Taxes imposed on a periodic basis with respect to any assets or otherwise measured by the level of any item, shall be allocated to the applicable Seller in an amount equal to the total Tax liability for such Tax, multiplied by a fraction

The Buyer’s failure to notify Sellers will not relieve
any of the Sellers of any liability that they may have, except to the extent the defense of such Tax Action is actually prejudiced as a direct result of the Buyer’s failure to give such notice. Sellers may elect within fifteen (15) Business Days of receiving notice of such Tax Action to represent the party to such Tax Action (a “Sellers’ Tax Contest”),

the Damages to which the Buyer Indemnified Parties would otherwise be entitled to indemnification with respect to any single breach or inaccuracy are less than $100,000; and (ii) no indemnification shall be available to any Buyer Indemnified Party under Section 11.2(a) unless
and until the aggregate amount of the Damages for which the Buyer Indemnified Parties (as applicable) seeks indemnification (excluding Damages not available as a result of clause (i) above) exceeds a one-time deductible amount of $1,000,000 (the “Deductible”), in which case the relevant Buyer Indemnified Parties entitled to such indemnification shall be entitled to recover
all such Damages to which such Buyer Indemnified Parties are entitled in excess of such Damages constituting the Deductible. Other than with respect to any Assumed Indebtedness, Assumed HUD Portfolio Indebtedness or a Limit Violation, (A) no indemnification shall be available to any Seller Indemnified Party under Section 11.2(b) if
the Damages to which the Seller Indemnified Parties would otherwise be entitled to indemnification with respect to any single breach or inaccuracy are less than $100,000, and (B) no indemnification shall be available to any Seller Indemnified Parties under Section 11.2(b) unless and until the aggregate amount of the Damages for which the Seller
Indemnified Parties (as applicable) seeks indemnification (excluding Damages not available as a result of Section 11.2(c)(i) above) exceeds the one time Deductible, in which case the relevant Seller Indemnified Parties entitled to such indemnification shall be entitled to recover such Damages to which such Seller Indemnified Parties are entitled in excess of that portion of such Damages
constituting the Deductible. The obligations of Sellers pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 11.2, and recourse against the Sellers pursuant to this Section 11.2,
shall be limited such that the aggregate liability of Sellers under this Section 11.2 shall not exceed 10% of the Final Purchase Price (in the case of the indemnification obligations arising on the Core Portfolio Closing Date) and
10% of the HUD Portfolio Final Purchase Price (in the case of the indemnification obligations arising on the HUD Portfolio Closing Date (the “General Core Portfolio Indemnification Cap” and the “General HUD Portfolio Indemnification Cap”)
in the aggregate). The obligations of the Buyer pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 11.2, and recourse against the Buyer pursuant to this Section 11.2,
shall be limited such that the aggregate liability of the Buyer under this Section 11.2 shall not exceed in the aggregate the General Core Portfolio Indemnification Cap in the case of Buyer’s indemnification obligations that arise
on the Core Portfolio Closing Date and the General HUD Portfolio Indemnification Cap in the case of Buyer’s indemnification obligations that arise on the HUD Portfolio Closing Date; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing limitations
set forth in this Section 11.2(c), including, without limitation, the Deductible,
the General Core Portfolio Indemnification Cap and the General HUD Portfolio Indemnification Cap, shall not apply to (X) any Excluded Liability, and (pursuant to Section 11.2(a))
Sellers shall indemnify and hold the Buyer Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any Damages arising from or in connection with or otherwise with respect to any Excluded Liability from the first dollar of any Excluded Liability and without any cap with respect to the amount thereof and (Y) any Assumed Indebtedness, Assumed HUD Portfolio Indebtedness or Limit Violation, and (pursuant to Section 11.2(b))
Buyer shall indemnify and hold the Seller Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any Damages arising from or in connection with or otherwise with respect to any Assumed Indebtedness, Assumed HUD Portfolio Indebtedness or Limit Violation from the first dollar of any Damages incurred without any cap with respect to the amount thereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for purposes of determining the amount of Damages to which an Indemnified Party is entitled under Section 11.2,
but not for determining whether or not any inaccuracy or breach has occurred, all of the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Agreement that are qualified by “material,” “materiality,” “material respects,” or words of similar import shall be deemed to have been made without any such qualification for purposes of determining the amount of Damages resulting from, arising out of or relating to any such breach or violation of representation, warranty or covenant.
(d) Each Indemnified Party, upon it or (as applicable) its directors (or Persons in similar positions)
or officers becoming aware of any event which gives rise to any indemnification rights such Indemnified Party has or may have under this Section 11.2, shall take reasonable steps to mitigate any Damages in respect of which such indemnification
may be sought, including (i) using its commercially reasonable efforts to secure payment from available insurance arrangements, including insurance arrangements maintained by any Tenant with respect to any Acquired Company or Acquired Property that are to provide coverage with respect to such Damages (an “Insurance Payment”) and (ii) using its commercially reasonable efforts
to secure reimbursement, indemnity or other payment from any third Person obligated by Contract or otherwise to reimburse, indemnify or pay the Indemnified Party with respect to such Damages (a “Third Party Payment” and, together with an Insurance Payment, a “Mitigation
Payment”); provided, however, that no such Indemnified Party shall be required to pursue any potential source of a Mitigation Payment prior to seeking indemnification hereunder or incur any material costs or expenses (unless the Indemnifying Party agrees
to reimburse such costs and expenses) or take any action materially adverse to such Indemnified Party in complying with its obligation to mitigate under this Section 11.2(d) and
in no event may any Indemnifying Party assert any failure to mitigate by an Indemnified Party as a defense to a claim for indemnification hereunder.
66
(e) Any calculation of Damages for purposes of this Section 11.2 shall
be net of (i) any Mitigation Payment actually received; provided, however that the Mitigation Payment received or recovered shall be reduced by the amount of any out-of-pocket costs incurred in pursuing such Mitigation Payment; and (ii) Tax benefits actually realized
under applicable Law in respect of such Damages, in each case net of all reasonable costs and expenses of recovering any such Tax benefits, whether realized in the year in which payments of Damages are made or thereafter. In the event a payment is made to an Indemnified Party with respect to any Damages and thereafter the Indemnified Party receives a Mitigation Payment with respect to such Damages, the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Parties an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the
Mitigation Payment and (y) the amount so paid by the Indemnifying Parties.
(f) Upon receipt by any Indemnified Party of written notice from any third party of any action,
suit, proceedings, claim, demand or assessment by such third party against such Indemnified Party which would reasonably be expected to give rise to a claim for Damages hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall as promptly as practicable give written notice thereof to the Buyer or Sellers (as applicable, the “Indemnifying Party”), if indemnification shall be sought therefrom,
indicating the nature of such claim and the basis therefor; provided, however, that failure to give such notice shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of
such failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its option and expense (and by its own counsel), to assume the defense of any such matter involving the liability of the Indemnified Party asserted by a third party as to which the Indemnifying Party shall have acknowledged its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder. If any Indemnifying Party shall undertake to compromise or defend any such asserted liability, it shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its intention
to do so, and the Indemnified Party will cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the compromise of, or defense against, any such asserted liability; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such asserted liability
without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless such settlement (x) includes only the payment of monetary damages, (y) does not impose any injunctive or equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party and (z) includes a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party and does not include any admission of wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding any such election to assume the defense of such
action or proceeding, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such action or proceeding, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel (and shall pay such fees, costs and expenses at least quarterly), if the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that (i) there may be a conflict of interest (including one or more legal defenses or counterclaims available to it or to other Indemnified
Parties which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party) that would make it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of such Indemnified Party for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, (ii) the claim seeks non-monetary relief which, if granted, could materially and adversely affect such Indemnified Party or its Affiliates (in which case, notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the
right to direct the defense of such action or proceeding on behalf of such Indemnified Party), (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party to represent such Indemnified Party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or proceeding (for the avoidance of doubt, Xxxxx Xxxx LLP and Xxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP shall each be deemed satisfactory counsel) or (iv) the Indemnifying Party shall authorize in writing such Indemnified
Party to employ separate counsel at the Indemnifying Party’s expense.
67
(g) Sellers, in their sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right to deliver shares of Buyer
Common Stock received as Stock Consideration or payment on or conversion of any other consideration received hereunder or under the Casablanca Option Agreement to Buyer Indemnified Parties to satisfy indemnity obligations under this Section 11.2. Such
shares shall be valued at the VWAP on the date immediately preceding the date of delivery to Buyer Indemnified Parties (the “Payment Shares”); provided, however, in no event shall Buyer Indemnified Parties be required to accept Payment Shares in settlement of an indemnity claim under this Section 11.2 in
an amount greater than 50% of the total Damages incurred and the aggregate value of the Payment Shares then being delivered to the Buyer shall be reduced by the amount of any dividends paid thereon.
(h) Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, the parties hereto agree to treat any payment made
pursuant to this Section 11.2 as an adjustment to the consideration paid pursuant to this Agreement for all Tax purposes.
(i) Sellers and the Buyer hereby acknowledge and agree that, from and after the Core Portfolio Closing Date or the HUD Portfolio Closing Date, as applicable, the foregoing indemnification provisions in this Section 11.2 shall
be the sole and exclusive rights and remedy of any Indemnified Party with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, with respect to (a) any misrepresentation, breach or default of or under any of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement or (b) any failure duly to perform or observe any term, provision, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement; provided, however,
that nothing set forth herein shall be deemed to limit any party’s rights or remedies in the event that the other party has committed fraud in connection herewith.
(j) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Sellers shall have no obligation to indemnify, defend, or hold harmless Buyer Indemnified Parties with respect to Damages related to Remediation of Hazardous
Materials if such Damages arise solely from environmental sampling performed by Buyer indiscriminately and for the sole purpose of discovering conditions which would require Remediation under Applicable law.
68
Environmental
Remediation. |
(a) Any Remediation for which an Indemnified Party seeks indemnification from Sellers under this Section
11 shall be governed by this Section 11.3.
(b) Buyer Indemnified Parties shall have the right to perform Remediation and seek indemnification
from Sellers for related costs or shall, at their sole option, elect to have Sellers perform all or a portion of such Remediation.
(c) Any Party performing a Remediation the cost of which is the responsibility
of Sellers pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement (“Performing Party”) shall: (i) provide written notification to the other Party (“Other
Party”) that it intends to perform Remediation prior to commencing any such Remediation; (ii) shall select a qualified consultant to oversee the Remediation, subject to the approval of the Other Party, whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; (iii) provide the Other Party with a reasonable opportunity to comment in advance upon any material written communications, filings, reports, correspondence or other writings given to any Governmental Entity in connection with such Remediation
and consider timely provided comments in good faith; (iv) to the extent practical, provide the Other Party with a reasonable opportunity to participate in any meetings with any Governmental Authority regarding the Remediation at such Other Party’s sole cost and expense; (v) comply with applicable Laws; (vi) minimize costs in conducting any Remediation and employ cost-effective Remediation methods that are commercially reasonable under the circumstances; (vii) use risk based clean-up standards and employ
deed restrictions and institutional and engineering controls to the extent commercially reasonable; (viii) allow the Other Party or their agents reasonable access to the Acquired Properties and Casablanca Properties for purposes of observing the Remediation so long as such Other Party and its agents do not interfere with the Remediation or the operation of the business conducted thereon; (ix) keep the Other Party reasonably informed of the progress of any such Remediation and the schedule for completing
such Remediation; (x) within five (5) Business Days of receipt, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to the Other Party copies of all material written communications, filings, reports, correspondence or other writings, photographs or materials received from any Person (including any Governmental Authority) in connection with the performance of any such Remediation; and (xi) use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve any rights the Other Party may have against insurers or other third parties.
(d) Buyer shall permit Sellers and their representatives and consultants access
to the applicable real property (i) for purpose of performing the Remediation, to the extent Sellers are performing the Remediation, so long as Sellers use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with the business conducted thereon and (ii) for observing and monitoring the Remediation if Buyer is performing the Remediation, so long as Sellers uses commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Buyer’s Remediation or the business conducted thereon. Following completion
of any Remediation performed by Sellers, Sellers shall promptly return the real property to substantially the same condition in which it existed prior to the commencement of the Remediation (other than with respect to the presence of Hazardous Materials). Buyer Indemnified Parties shall reasonably cooperate with Sellers with respect to any Remediation performed by Sellers in accordance with this Section
11.3.

be collected after the relevant Closing by the Acquired Company or HUD Company and described in (ii)(B) above;

regard to the limitations imposed by Section 11.2(c)(i); provided, further, that if the Deductible has otherwise been reached, then such reduction (or a reduction to the extent of the excess over the Deductible) shall be made to the Final Purchase Price or
