TITLE AND SURVEY; ZONING
3.01 Title, Surveys and Zoning. Promptly following the Effective Date, Purchaser shall order a (a) title commitment issued by the Title Company for each Facility, together with legible copies of all instruments referred to in such title commitment (collectively, the “Title Commitments”); and (b) new or updated ACSM/ALTA Land Title Survey, certified to the 2016 standards, for each Facility, together with such optional items from Table A and certifications as Purchaser may request (collectively, the “Surveys”). Upon receipt of the updated Title Commitments and the Surveys, Purchaser shall promptly deliver the same to Purchaser’s third‑party zoning consultant, Sellers and their counsel, and request a new or updated zoning report for each Facility (collectively, the “PZR Reports”). Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to order and ensure receipt of all Title Commitments, Surveys and PZR Reports prior to the DDP Expiration Date. The Title Commitments, the Surveys, and the PZR Reports shall all be obtained at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense.
3.02 Title, Survey and Zoning Objections.
(a) On or prior to the DDP Expiration Date (the “Title Objection Expiration Date”), Purchaser may notify Sellers in writing of any title, survey and/or zoning matters to which it objects (the “Initial Title Objections”). If prior to the Title Objection Expiration Date, Purchaser has not provided Sellers with notice of any Initial Title Objections, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its right to object to any title, survey and/or zoning matters set forth in the Title Commitments, Surveys and PZR Reports.
9
(b) Sellers shall have ten (10) Business Days after receipt of Purchaser’s Initial Title Objections notice to elect to cure (by endorsement or otherwise, except in the case of zoning matters, which shall not be deemed cured through title insurance) any of the Initial Title Objections relating to the Facilities and to deliver written notice of its election to Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other language to the contrary in this Agreement, Sellers shall have no obligation to cure any Initial Title Objections, and Sellers’ failure to deliver in a timely manner any such election notice shall be deemed an election not to cure any uncured Initial Title Objection. Subject to Section 3.02(d) below, all title exceptions set forth in the Title Commitments, all zoning matters set forth in the PZR Reports, and all survey matters set forth in the Surveys, other than the Initial Title Objections, and subject to the title endorsements and other requested changes to the Title Commitments and Surveys specified in writing by Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.02, shall be deemed Permitted Exceptions.
(c) If Sellers elect, or are deemed to have elected, not to cure any Initial Title Objection relating to matters which Purchaser, in its good faith judgment, believes materially and adversely affects the use of a Facility as a skilled nursing facility, and which shall not include any of the Permitted Exceptions (the “Material Initial Title Objections”), Purchaser shall, within ten (10) Business Days after receiving notice or deemed notice from Sellers with respect to all Initial Title Objections, elect, by giving written notice to Sellers, (i) to terminate this Agreement with respect to any one (1) or more of the Facilities that are the subject of the Material Initial Title Objections that the applicable Sellers have elected not to cure, or (ii) to waive any such Material Initial Title Objections giving rise to Purchaser’s termination right (and such Material Initial Title Objections shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement with respect to any one (1) or more Facilities in accordance with this Section 3.02(c), Sellers shall have the right, exercisable within ten (10) Business Days following any such termination, to notify Purchaser of its election to terminate this Agreement with respect to all other Facilities. Purchaser shall then have ten (10) Business Days upon receipt of such termination election to (A) accept Seller’s termination with respect to all other Facilities, or (B) waive any such Material Initial Title Objections giving rise to Purchaser’s termination right. Purchaser’s failure to timely give notice in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 3.02(c) shall be deemed a waiver of any such Material Initial Title Objections giving rise to Purchaser’s termination right. Prior to the expiration of its termination right, if any, under this Section 3.02(c), Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate with the Title Company with respect to the preparation of a pro forma title policy acceptable to Purchaser for each Facility (each, a “Pro Forma Title Policy”), provided, however, that prior to finalizing any such Pro Forma Title Policy, Sellers shall have the reasonable opportunity to review and comment with respect to same, and the parties hereto shall use commercially reasonably efforts to mutually agree upon a final version of the legal descriptions of the Facilities to be set forth in the Pro Forma Title Policies.
(d) If, prior to the Closing, any update or amendment of any Title Commitment reflects any new title or survey exception, or materially and adversely amends any exception previously approved by Purchaser, or materially and adversely amends the terms under which the Title Company is willing to issue any title policy, or if a Survey is materially and
10
adversely amended, then Purchaser shall have ten (10) calendar days from the date it receives the updated Title Commitment and a legible copy of the new exception or Survey disclosing the same (and, if necessary, the Closing shall be postponed to provide for such ten (10) day period), to disapprove the same by written notice to Sellers (the “New Title Objections”). Upon Purchaser’s timely delivery to Sellers of notice of any New Title Objection, all references to Initial Title Objections and Material Initial Title Objections in Sections 3.02(b) and 3.02(c) shall be deemed to apply to the New Title Objections and the terms of such provisions shall apply to such New Title Objections. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Material Title Objections” shall mean, collectively, the Material Initial Title Objections and any New Title Objections which Purchaser, in its good faith judgment, believes materially and adversely affects the use of a Facility in accordance with its permitted use under the terms of the Master Lease, and which shall not include any of the Permitted Exceptions.
(e) If Purchaser does not, in accordance with the terms of Section 3.02(c), terminate this Agreement with respect to a particular Facility pursuant to the existence of an uncured Material Title Objection by the expiration of the earlier of (i) ten (10) Business Days after Sellers’ election or deemed election not to cure any Material Title Objection at such Facility, or (ii) the Closing Date (as it may be extended pursuant to Section 3.02(d), if applicable), then any such Material Title Objection shall be deemed to be a Permitted Exception. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement with respect to any Facility in accordance with Section 3.02(c), then (A) neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder as to such Facility (other than any obligations of either party that expressly survive termination); (B) the portion of the Deposit allocable to the terminated Facility shall be reallocated by the Escrow Agent, pro rata, among the remaining Facilities in proportion to each such Facility’s respective Purchase Price as measured against the remaining balance of the Portfolio Purchase Price; and (C) the Portfolio Purchase Price will be reduced by the Purchase Price allocated to the terminated Facility. If Sellers elect to terminate this Agreement as to all Facilities and Purchaser does not waive the Material Title Objections giving rise to Purchaser’s termination right in accordance with Section 3.02(c), then the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, after which neither Sellers nor Purchaser will have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except for any obligations that expressly survive termination. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser’s failure to timely deliver a notice of termination pursuant to Section 3.02(c) shall not be deemed a waiver by Purchaser of any other rights of termination it may have as set forth in this Agreement.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not have the right to object to any of the following (and none of the following may constitute a Material Title Objection), all of which shall be deemed to be “Permitted Exceptions” hereunder: (i) matters created or consented to in a separate written consent executed and delivered by Purchaser in its sole discretion after the Effective Date; (ii) real estate taxes and assessments, water rates, water meter charges, sewer rates, sewer charges and similar matters imposed by any Approval Authorities (including, without limitation special improvement districts) which are not yet due and payable; (iii) such matters set forth on any Survey, Title Commitment or PZR Report for which Purchaser did not timely and properly object pursuant to this Section 3.02; (iv) all present and future Laws, ordinances, restrictions, requirements, resolutions, orders, rules and regulations of any Approval
11
Authorities, as now or hereafter existing or enforced (including those related to zoning and land use); (v) any exceptions caused by Purchaser, its agents, representatives or employees; (vi) the rights of any current or future Residents, as occupants only, under any Admission Agreements; and (vii) such other matters deemed to be Permitted Exceptions pursuant to Sections 3.02(b), 3.02(c), 3.02(e) and 3.03. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary set forth herein, each Seller shall be obligated, at its sole cost and expense (except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 8.04(a)(i) with respect to the HUD Lockout Fee), to satisfy at or prior to the Closing, all monetary encumbrances affecting a Facility or other related Property evidenced by mortgages or deeds of trust, UCC filings, tax liens, judgments, mechanic’s liens or other liens or fixed sum charges (except for those liens securing the Excluded Indebtedness, as defined in Section 2.01(e)), and Sellers shall authorize Escrow Agent to use the Purchase Price or a portion thereof allocable to the Facility for which such monetary liens exist to pay and discharge the same at the Closing.
3.03 Failure to Cure Title Objections. If any Seller undertakes to cure or attempt to cure any Material Title Objection with respect to which Purchaser has given timely and proper notice of objections pursuant to Section 3.02 but at or prior to the Closing such Seller is unable to effect such cure, after using reasonable efforts to do so, then Purchaser shall have the right to (a) accept such matters as such Seller shall have failed to cure and proceed to purchase the Facility subject to such uncured matters, in which event such uncured matters shall constitute additional Permitted Exceptions, or (b) terminate this Agreement with respect to any one (1) or more of the applicable Facilities by written notice to Sellers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement with respect to any one (1) or more Facilities in accordance with this Section 3.03, Sellers shall have the right, exercisable within ten (10) Business Days following any such termination, to notify Purchaser of its election to terminate this Agreement with respect to all other Facilities. Purchaser shall then have ten (10) Business Days upon receipt of such termination election to notify Seller of its acceptance of Seller’s termination or to waive any such failures by Sellers to cure and proceed to the Closing. In the event that pursuant to this Section 3.03, this Agreement is (i) terminated in whole, the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, after which neither Sellers nor Purchaser will have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except for any obligations that expressly survive termination; or (ii) partially terminated, the portion of the Deposit applicable to each terminated Facility shall be reallocated among the remaining Facilities and neither Purchaser nor Sellers shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder with respect to such terminated Facilities (other than any obligations of either party that expressly survive termination).
3.04 Access.
(a) Subject to the terms of this Section 3.04, from and after the Effective Date until the earlier of the DDP Expiration Date or earlier termination of this Agreement, Purchaser and its agents and contractors shall have the right, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, to enter any Facility for the purpose of making such tests, inspections, facility management and administrative interviews and document reviews (collectively, “Inspections”) as Purchaser deems necessary in connection with this Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. Each Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist
12
Purchaser in arranging such Inspections in respect of any Facility owned or operated by such Seller at no cost to such Seller.
(b) Purchaser and its agents and contractors shall not undertake any Inspections or perform any other activities at the Facilities without first obtaining Sellers’ prior consent thereto via email to Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx at XXxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Purchaser shall give Sellers at least two (2) Business Days advance notice when requesting to undertake Inspections or perform any other activities at the Facilities. For the avoidance of doubt, Sellers’ failure to consent to any Inspections or the performance of any other activities at any Facility shall not be deemed unreasonable if Sellers, in their sole discretion, determine that the Inspections or such other activities that Purchaser or its agents desire to conduct at such Facility would be reasonably likely to create liability for any Seller or unreasonably interfere with or unreasonably interrupt the operation of such Facility. Purchaser shall provide Sellers with a description of the Inspections proposed to be conducted at the Facilities, together with, upon request by Sellers, insurance certificates reflecting insurance coverage in connection with such Inspections reasonably acceptable to Sellers, and shall deliver such description and insurance certificates to Seller via email to Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx at XXxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx. The Inspections shall be performed by licensed, insured parties reasonably acceptable to Sellers. Sellers hereby acknowledge and agree that the following parties performing the Inspections shall be deemed acceptable to Sellers: EMG Corporation, Pixis, LLC and Zoning Reports, LLC.
(c) Purchaser covenants that all Inspections shall be performed in a good and workmanlike fashion during normal business hours, and in a manner that minimizes any inconvenience to, or interruption of, the normal use and enjoyment of the Facilities and further covenants that at the conclusion of the Inspections, Purchaser shall restore the Facilities to at least the same condition such Facilities were in prior to the commencement of the Inspections, including, without limitation, the removal of any and all equipment necessary for Purchaser’s performance of the Inspections. Purchaser shall not permit any liens to attach to any Facility by reason of the exercise of its rights pursuant to this Section 3.04 and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sellers, the Affiliated Parties and each of their respective affiliates, officers, directors, employees, partners, shareholders, members, managers and any other person having a direct or indirect ownership interest in any Seller, Affiliated Party or any of their respective affiliates (together with the successors and assigns of each of the foregoing, individually and collectively, the “Seller Group”) from any out‑of‑pocket losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, Claims, amounts paid in settlement, judgments, awards, penalties, fines, costs or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Damages”) incurred by the Seller Group and caused by Purchaser, Inspection Engineer or their respective agents, contractors and/or representatives in connection with the Inspections and/or the completion of the Premises Condition Reports. For purposes of this Agreement, “Damages” shall not include any punitive, incidental, consequential, special or indirect damages, including loss of future revenue or income, loss of business reputation, diminution of value or any damages based on any type of multiple. The foregoing indemnity obligations shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement for a period of twenty‑four (24) months. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the indemnity of this Section include the mere discovery of
13
pre‑existing conditions disclosed by Purchaser’s investigations or any damages caused by Seller or Seller’s negligence or willful misconduct (or by any other Seller Group party or its negligence or willful misconduct). For purposes of clarification, and as only one example, Purchaser will not be deemed to have engaged in the “mere discovery of pre‑existing conditions” if, in addition to identifying said pre‑existing conditions, Purchaser were to provide notice of such conditions to any third party.
(d) Sellers shall be entitled to have a representative (as designated by Sellers from time to time, each a “Sellers’ Representative”) present during all visits to the Facilities by Purchaser or its agents or representatives. During and following any such Inspections, Purchaser shall direct all requests for information about the Property through a Sellers’ Representative. Purchaser’s access to on‑site personnel shall be limited to meeting with the chief administrator and property manager at each Facility, and any replacement thereof to the extent the position or title of any such person changes prior to the Closing (collectively, the “Facility Management”), unless otherwise approved by Sellers or Sellers’ Representative. Purchaser shall instruct and advise its agents and representatives visiting a Facility not to reveal to any personnel of any Seller (other than Sellers’ Representative and the Facility Management) that such visit and related activity is being conducted in connection with a proposed purchase of the Transferred Property and shall instruct its agents and representatives to direct all questions regarding their presence to Sellers’ Representative and the Facility Management. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts not to interfere unreasonably with any operations of any Seller at any Facility or unreasonably disturb or interfere with any Resident’s rights or occupancy at any Facility, and Purchaser will not contact any Residents or employees of any Facility, without first obtaining the written consent (which may be via electronic mail) of a Sellers’ Representative.
(e) At all times prior to the Closing and in connection with the Inspections, Purchaser agrees to maintain at its own expense (and to cause its agents and contractors to maintain) and, upon request, provide evidence to Sellers of the following insurance policies: (i) commercial general liability insurance in a form satisfactory to Sellers, with a combined single limit for property damage and bodily injury of not less than Two Million and 00/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00) per occurrence, and (ii) workers’ compensation coverage for the employees or and agents of any party (including, without limitation, Purchaser) engaging in the Inspections in accordance with applicable Law. Such evidence shall be in the form of certificates of said policies in form reasonably acceptable to Sellers, which shall be delivered to Sellers prior to the date of any Inspection to be performed hereunder.
(f) Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly furnish Sellers with copies of all reports issued as a result of the Inspections by delivery of same to Sellers’ attorneys, Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx and L. Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx & Xxxx, P.C., 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xx. Xxxxx, XX 00000, Email: xxx@xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx and xxx@xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx, respectively. Any such reports as well as all other results, findings or documentation obtained by Purchaser in connection with the Inspections shall be subject to the terms and conditions of that certain Non-Disclosure Agreement dated May 2, 2018 signed by American Healthcare Investors, LLC (the “Purchaser NDA”).

Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Sellers (a “DDP Termination Notice”) for any reason or for no reason at any time from the Effective Date until the date that is forty‑five (45) days after the Effective Date (the “DDP Expiration Date”). If, by the DDP Expiration Date, Purchaser fails to deliver a DDP Termination Notice to Sellers, such failure shall be deemed an election by Purchaser to proceed with the transactions contemplated hereby with respect to the applicable Facilities, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

No disclosure by Sellers’ in any schedule to this Agreement relating to any possible breach or violation of any agreement or law shall be construed as an admission or indication that any such breach or violation exists or has actually occurred.
5.02 Subsequent Knowledge; Updated Disclosure.
(a) Subsequent Knowledge. Upon Purchaser acquiring Knowledge that any of the representations or warranties made herein by any Seller are untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect when made or when deemed to be made (a “Purchaser Known Inaccuracy”), Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give Sellers written notice thereof within ten (10) Business Days of obtaining such knowledge. If at or prior to the Closing, any Seller (or any of the Seller Knowledge Representatives) obtains knowledge that any of the representations or warranties made herein by such Seller are untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect, or that the facts leading to such representations or warranties have materially and adversely changed (a “Seller Known Inaccuracy” and together with the Purchaser Known Inaccuracies, the “Known Misrepresentations”), Sellers shall give Purchaser written notice thereof within five (5) Business Days of obtaining such Knowledge (but, in any event, prior to the Closing). In either such event, Sellers shall have the right to cure each Known Misrepresentation, at no cost to Purchaser, and shall be entitled to a reasonable adjournment of the Closing (not to exceed thirty (30) days) for the purpose of such cure. If Sellers are either unwilling or unable to cure any Known Misrepresentation, then Sellers shall promptly notify Purchaser and, within ten (10) Business Days thereafter, Purchaser as its sole and exclusive remedy for any and all Known Misrepresentations shall elect either to (i) waive all such Known Misrepresentations and consummate the Closing without any reduction of or credit against the Portfolio Purchase Price, or (ii) terminate this Agreement with respect to all (but not less than all) of the Facilities by written notice to Sellers, in which event (x) the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, and (y) solely in the case of a Material Known Misrepresentation, Sellers shall reimburse Purchaser for Purchaser’s and its affiliates’ actual and documented out‑of‑pocket costs, including, without limitation, legal costs, incurred in connection with the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement, Purchaser’s due diligence review and the other transactions contemplated herein (“Purchaser’s Reimbursable Transaction Costs”) up to the amount of Four
24
Hundred Forty‑One Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($441,000.00) (the “Reimbursement Cap”) (which shall be in addition to the return of the Deposit), and neither party will have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except for any obligations that expressly survive termination. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall only be permitted to recover the Purchaser’s Reimbursable Transaction Costs in the event that Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Section 5.02(a) as a result of a “Material Known Misrepresentation” which, for purposes of this Agreement, shall mean a Known Misrepresentation, the occurrence and/or existence of which would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Lease Parties to satisfy their respective obligations under the Master Lease, the operating subleases and/or the Guaranties. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any Known Misrepresentation shall be to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Section 5.02(a), receive a return of the Deposit and, solely in the case of a Material Known Misrepresentation, Purchaser’s Reimbursable Transaction Costs up to the Reimbursement Cap, and in no event shall Purchaser be permitted to pursue any additional Damages with respect to any Known Misrepresentation (or Material Known Misrepresentation) whether pursuant to Section 11.01 or otherwise.
(b) Updated Disclosure. From time to time prior to the Closing, Sellers shall have the right (but not the obligation) to supplement, modify or amend any schedule included or referenced in Section 5.01, or provide one or more additional schedules in Section 5.01, with respect to any matter hereafter arising or of which they become aware after the date hereof (each a “Schedule Supplement”). Any disclosure in any such Schedule Supplement shall be deemed to have cured any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement for purposes of (i) the post‑Closing indemnification rights contained in this Agreement; and (ii) delivery of the certificate required pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(iv); provided, however, that the delivery of any such Schedule Supplement shall not affect or otherwise alter the rights of Purchaser set forth in Section 5.02(a) of this Agreement.
5.03 Representations and Warranties of Purchaser. Purchaser represents and warrants to Sellers the following as of the Effective Date (and, at the Closing, as of the Closing Date), which representations and warranties shall survive the Closing for a period of one (1) year from and after the Closing Date:
(a) Organization. Purchaser is duly formed, validly existing limited liability company and in good standing under the laws of the state of Delaware and, as of the Closing Date, to the extent required by Law, shall be duly qualified to transact business in the State of Missouri.

Each individual executing this Agreement on behalf of such Purchaser is duly authorized to do so, and this Agreement is binding and enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with its term, subject to applicable
25
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, modification or other laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing representation shall not apply to the beneficiaries of any pension plan affiliated with Purchaser.

If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of written notice from a Seller of the occurrence of major loss or damage, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed with the Closing and the repairs shall be completed in accordance with Section 9.03(b), provided that insurance proceeds are available to Purchaser to cover the costs of repairing the damaged Facility to the extent such repairs are not completed.
(b) Proceeds; Repairs. If this Agreement may not be, or is not, terminated in accordance with Section 9.03(a) and if, prior to Closing, Sellers are unable to perform all repairs necessary to bring a Facility owned or operated by it to its condition immediately prior to such loss or damage, Sellers shall assign to Purchaser all of such Sellers’ right, title and interest to any claims and proceeds Sellers may have with respect to any casualty insurance policies (including any rent loss insurance applicable to any period on and after the Closing Date) or condemnation awards relating to such Facility, except to the extent needed to reimburse Sellers for reasonable, actual, out‑of‑pocket sums it expended prior to the Closing for the restoration or repair of such Facility or in collecting such insurance proceeds or condemnation awards, and Purchaser shall receive a credit at the Closing for any deductible, uninsured or coinsured amount under said insurance policies. In the event of damage that is not major as set forth in Section 9.03(a) Sellers shall, at Sellers’ cost, repair the damage before the Closing in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser or, if repairs cannot be completed before Closing, credit Purchaser at the Closing for the reasonably estimated cost to complete the repair. The terms of this Section 9.03(b) shall be subject to the rights of any mortgagee or lender under any mortgage, deed of trust or similar document encumbering a Facility, unless any such mortgagee or lender acknowledges in a signed document satisfactory to Sellers and Purchaser that such mortgagee or lender will not take possession of or otherwise require any such proceeds or awards to be used in a particular manner. If any such mortgagee or lender refuses to provide any such signed document, or requires that any casualty or condemnation proceeds or awards be used pursuant to the terms of any mortgage, deed of trust or similar document (including use for restoration of the
38
Property), then Sellers shall notify Purchaser thereof (“Casualty Termination Notice”) and Sellers or Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to all Facilities upon written notice to the other party no later than five (5) days following such Casualty Termination Notice or the Closing Date, whichever first occurs. Following any such termination of this Agreement, the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser after which neither Sellers nor Purchaser will have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except for any obligations that expressly survive termination. If this Agreement is not terminated as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, then Sellers shall credit Purchaser at the Closing with an amount equal to the amount of any proceeds or awards applied by any such mortgagee or lender to the indebtedness secured by any mortgage, deed of trust or similar document encumbering such Facility.
(c) “Major” Loss or Damage. For purposes of this Section 9.03, “major” loss or damage to a Facility refers to the following: (i) loss or damage to such Facility or any portion thereof (A) such that the cost of repairing or restoring such Facility to a condition substantially similar to that of such Facility prior to the event of damage would be, in the written opinion of the insurance adjuster for Seller that owns such Facility, equal to or greater than ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price allocated to such Facility, (B) which, in Sellers’ reasonable estimation, will take longer than one hundred eighty (180) days to repair, or (C) which materially and adversely affects access to or from such Facility; and (ii) any condemnation proceeding contemplated, threatened or instituted by anybody having the power of eminent domain with respect to any improvements on such Facility (or any portion thereof).

REMEDIES
REMEDIES
10.01 Seller Default. If, prior to Closing, a Seller materially breaches or fails to perform any of its covenants herein in any material respect, and such breach or failure shall continue for a period of fifteen (15) Business Days after written notice thereof from Purchaser specifying to which Facility the default applies and the specific nature of the default, then, provided that Purchaser is not then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement, Purchaser shall have the right, as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive (except to the extent caused by any acts or omissions constituting fraud by Sellers or Parent Guarantor) remedy at law, in equity or otherwise (a) to file an action to obtain specific performance of such Seller’s obligation to perform in accordance with this Agreement (to the extent available), or (b) to declare this Agreement terminated as to all (but not less than all) of the Facilities and receive, as fixed, agreed and liquidated damages and not as a penalty, a return of the Deposit (plus any accrued interest thereon) plus Purchaser’s Reimbursable Transaction Costs up to the Reimbursement Cap. Upon such return of the Deposit and payment by Sellers of Purchaser’s Reimbursable Transaction Costs, (c) all rights and obligations of Purchaser and Sellers under this Agreement shall expire, except for such provisions as expressly survive the expiration or the termination hereof; and (d) Purchaser hereby waives any and all rights to damages in excess of Purchaser’s Reimbursable Transaction Costs up to the Reimbursement Cap.
10.02 Purchaser Default. If, prior to Closing, Purchaser materially breaches or fails to perform any of its covenants herein in any material respect and as a result thereof fails to close as
39
required by this Agreement, and such breach or failure shall continue for a period of fifteen (15) Business Days after written notice thereof from Seller specifying to which Facility the default applies and the specific nature of the default (other than a failure to deliver the Portfolio Purchase Price upon satisfaction of Purchaser’s Conditions Precedent for which no cure period shall be given), the parties stipulate and agree that actual damages may be difficult, if not impossible, to compute. Consequently, in the event of any such material breach or failure by Purchaser pursuant to this Section, then, provided that Sellers are not then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement, Sellers’ sole and exclusive remedy (except to the extent caused by any acts or omissions constituting fraud by Purchaser) at law, in equity or otherwise shall be either to (a) terminate this Agreement in its entirety and retain the Deposit (plus any accrued interest thereon) as fixed, agreed and liquidated damages and not as a penalty, or (b) terminate this Agreement only as to the specific Facility as to which Purchaser is in default, by giving written notice thereof to Purchaser prior to the Closing, in which event an amount equal to the amount of Deposit allocable to the Facility which is the subject of such default of Purchaser shall be paid to Sellers as fixed, agreed and liquidated damages and not as a penalty, and after the payment of such portion of the Deposit to Sellers, neither Sellers nor Purchaser will have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Facility, except for any obligations that expressly survive termination. In the event that Sellers elect to terminate this Agreement in its entirety, then upon Sellers’ receipt of the Deposit (plus any accrued interest thereon), (i) all rights and obligations of Purchaser and Sellers under this Agreement shall expire, except for such provisions as expressly survive the expiration or the termination hereof; and (ii) Sellers hereby waive any right to action for specific performance of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement and any other remedies at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 10.02 shall be deemed to limit Sellers’ recovery in connection with the indemnity provided by Purchaser in Section 3.04 of this Agreement.

ESCROW AGENT
ESCROW AGENT
13.01 Investment and Use of Funds. The Escrow Agent shall invest the Deposit in a segregated, interest‑bearing, institutional money market account with First American Trust for the benefit of Purchaser, shall not commingle the Deposit with any funds of the Escrow Agent or others and shall promptly provide Purchaser and Seller with confirmation of the investments made. All interest earned on the Deposit shall become a part of the Deposit and be disbursed with it. If the Closing under this Agreement occurs, then the Escrow Agent shall deliver or credit the Deposit (or portion thereof) as provided herein. Provided such supplemental escrow instructions are not in conflict with this Agreement as it may be amended in writing from time to time, Seller and Purchaser agree to execute such supplemental escrow instructions as may be appropriate to enable the Escrow Agent to comply with the terms of this Agreement.
13.02 Termination.
(a) Upon a termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, either Parent Guarantor, on behalf of itself and Sellers, or Purchaser (in either case, the “Terminating Party”) may give written notice to the Escrow Agent and the other party (the “Non‑Terminating Party”) of such termination and the grounds for such termination. Such notice shall also constitute a request for the release of the Deposit to the Terminating Party, if applicable.
(b) In such event, the Non‑Terminating Party shall have five (5) Business Days after the Non‑Terminating Party’s receipt of notice of termination provided in accordance with the provisions of Article 12 in which to object in writing to, as applicable, the reallocation of the Deposit or the release of the Deposit (or any portion thereof) to the Terminating Party. If the Non‑Terminating Party provides such an objection, then the Escrow Agent shall retain the Deposit until it receives written instructions executed by Parent Guarantor, on behalf of Sellers, and Purchaser as to the disposition and disbursement of the Deposit, or until ordered by final court order, decree or judgment, which is not subject to appeal, to deliver the Deposit to a particular party, in which event the Deposit shall be delivered in accordance with such notice,
44
instruction, order, decree or judgment. If the Non‑Terminating Party does not provide such an objection, then the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Deposit in accordance with the Terminating Party’s notice, if applicable, provided that the Terminating Party shall include with its notice to the Escrow Agent or promptly upon request by Escrow Agent evidence of delivery of its notice of termination in accordance with the provisions of Article 12. In no event shall the Escrow Agent ever be obligated to confirm actual delivery of notice to the Non‑Terminating Party.
13.03 Interpleader. Except as provided in Section 13.02, Sellers and Purchaser agree that in the event of any controversy regarding the Deposit, unless mutual written instructions are received by the Escrow Agent directing the disposition of such Deposit, the Escrow Agent shall not take any action, but instead shall await the disposition of any proceeding relating to the Deposit or, at the Escrow Agent’s option, the Escrow Agent may interplead all parties and deposit the Deposit with a court of competent jurisdiction in which event the Escrow Agent may recover all of its actual, out‑of‑pocket costs, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees. Sellers or Purchaser, whichever loses in any such interpleader action, shall be solely obligated to pay such costs and fees of the Escrow Agent related to such interpleader action.
13.04 Liability of the Escrow Agent. The parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that the Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the parties and that the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any of the parties for any action or omission on its part taken or made in good faith and not in disregard of this Agreement, but shall be liable for its negligent acts. Sellers and Purchaser shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against all actual, out‑of‑pocket costs, claims and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder, except with respect to actions or omissions taken or made by the Escrow Agent in bad faith, in disregard of this Agreement or involving negligence on its part. Additionally, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto if the Escrow Agent retains the Deposit because the Escrow Agent is uncertain as to the proper party to whom the Deposit should be delivered, provided the Escrow Agent acts reasonably and in good faith.

Parent Guarantor’s liability for the Seller Obligations is hereby declared to be primary, and not secondary, and the liability of Parent Guarantor under this Agreement shall in no way be limited or impaired by, and Parent Guarantor hereby consents to and agrees to be bound by, any amendment or modification of the provisions of this Agreement.
14.18 Cooperation with Audit.
(a) Sellers acknowledge that, subject to Section 14.02, Purchaser may assign all of its right, title and interest in and to this Agreement. The assignee may be affiliated with a publicly registered company (“Registered Company”) promoted by Purchaser. Sellers acknowledge that they have been advised that if Purchaser is affiliated with a Registered Company, the assignee may be required to make certain filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC Filings”) that relate to the three (3) most recent pre‑acquisition fiscal years (the “Audited Years”) and the current fiscal year through the date of acquisition (the “stub period”) for each Property. To assist the assignee in preparing the SEC Filings, Sellers covenant and agree to (and to cause Parent Guarantor to) provide the assignee (to the extent in Sellers’ possession or reasonable control), upon not less than two (2) weeks prior written notice and during normal business hours, with the following within five (5) Business Days prior to the DDP Expiration Date and any time thereafter until the first anniversary of the Closing Date: (i) access to bank statements for the Audited Years and stub periods; (ii) rent roll as of the end of the Audited Years and stub periods; (iii) operating statements for the Audited Years and stub periods; (iv) access to the general ledger for the Audited Years and stub periods; (v) cash receipts schedule for each month in the Audited Years and stub periods; (vi) access to invoices for expenses and capital improvements in the Audited Years and stub periods; (vii) accounts payable ledger and accrued expense reconciliations; (viii) check register for the Audited Years and stub periods and the three months thereafter; (ix) all leases and five (5) year lease schedules; (x) copies of all insurance documentation for the Audited Years and stub periods; (xi) copies of accounts receivable aging as of the end of the Audited Years and stub periods along with an explanation for all accounts over thirty (30) days past due as of the end of the Audited Years and stub periods; (xii) signed representation letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (“Representation Letter”); (xiii) all organizational documents of Seller; (xiv) confirmation of all cash receivables and payables for the Audited Years and the stub periods; (xv) all information related to financial statement footnotes; and (xvi) to the extent necessary, the information set forth in the letter set forth in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J. To the extent requested by Purchaser prior to Closing, Sellers also agree to deliver to Purchaser a signed Representation Letter and the foregoing requested information within five (5) Business Days prior to Closing, and such delivery shall be a condition to Closing. Sellers acknowledge receipt of a sample audit request deliverables checklist provided by Purchaser for Sellers’ review. Purchaser understands that not all of the items listed thereon may be applicable to Sellers, Parent Guarantor and the
50
Facilities, but Sellers agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver or otherwise make available at the Facilities the items listed thereon to the extent applicable and requested by Purchaser’s auditor.
(b) Notwithstanding any language to the contrary set forth herein, Purchaser agrees to engage Purchaser’s auditor at its sole cost and expense and to reimburse Sellers for (i) the fees and expenses actually charged by Sellers’ independent accountants in assisting Purchaser’s auditor with the foregoing audit and SEC Filings (not to include the cost of Sellers’ audited financial statements or other fees or expenses which Sellers would have incurred regardless of the foregoing audit and SEC Filing requirements), and (ii) any other reasonable out‑of‑pocket expenses actually incurred by Sellers pursuant to meeting its obligations under this Section 14.18, including, without limitation, legal fees. In no event shall Sellers’ cooperation with Purchaser in accordance with this Section 14.18 materially interfere with the operation of its business.
14.19 Purchaser’s Disclosures. Seller acknowledges that it is Purchaser’s intention that the ultimate acquirer be a corporation that is or intends to qualify as a subsidiary of a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) and that, as such, it is subject to certain filing and reporting requirements in accordance with federal laws and regulations, including, without limitation, regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, and notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the provisions of any other existing agreement between the parties hereto to the contrary, Purchaser may publicly file, disclose, report or publish any and all information related to this transaction that may be reasonably interpreted as being required by federal law or regulation, or as Purchaser otherwise elects in its sole discretion.
14.20 No Personal Liability. In addition to any limitation on liability provided by law or any other agreement or instrument, no advisor, trustee, director, officer, employee, accountant, attorney, beneficiary, shareholder, partner, participant or agent of or in Purchaser or any Seller or Parent Guarantor shall have any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with this Agreement or the transaction contemplated hereunder.
