in Section 7.05 below) pursuant to which Sellers shall transfer to New Operator all Operational Assets.

2.02 Purchase Price. Purchaser agrees to pay to Sellers the sum of FIVE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($5,500,000.00) in consideration for the sale of the Facility, subject to the adjustments and credits described herein. This sum is hereinafter referred to as the “Purchase Price”.

2.03 Method of Payment. The Purchase Price, subject to all prorations and credits set forth herein, shall be payable as set forth in this Section 2.03. Purchaser shall deposit with the Escrow Agent (as hereinafter defined) the sum of FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($50,000.00) within three (3) business days following execution of this Agreement (the “Initial Deposit”). Following expiration of the thirty (30) day Inspection Period, Purchaser shall deposit the additional sum of FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($50,000.00) (the “Additional Deposit”) with the Escrow Agent, for a total of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($100,000.00) being held as xxxxxxx money. The Initial Deposit, the Additional Deposit and the Extension Deposit (if any) (as described in Section 7.01 below) are sometimes collectively referred to as the “Xxxxxxx Money”). All monies escrowed shall be delivered to and held by First American Title Insurance Company (the “Escrow Agent”) in accordance with the terms and consideration of the Deposit Escrow Agreement among Sellers, Purchaser and Escrow Agent in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto. The Escrow Agent shall invest the Xxxxxxx Money pursuant to directions from Purchaser and Sellers, and any interest or other income earned on the Xxxxxxx Money shall be deemed part of the Xxxxxxx Money. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, one hundred dollars ($100.00) of the Xxxxxxx Money shall be non-refundable and shall be the independent consideration for this Agreement. At Closing, Purchaser shall pay the balance of the Purchase Price, less the Xxxxxxx Money, in cash or other immediately available funds subject to all prorations and credits provided herein.

2.04 Allocation of the Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be allocated in the manner set forth on Exhibit E attached hereto, said allocation being mutually agreed upon by the parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if no Exhibit E is attached hereto at the initial signing of this Agreement, the parties agree to endeavor to agree upon an allocation of the Purchase Price prior to Closing, but such agreement shall not be a condition precedent to Closing. If the parties are unable to agree on a Purchase Price allocation prior to Closing, the parties may independently determine the Purchase Price allocation and each file their own IRS Form 8594.

2.05 Excluded Assets. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Purchaser shall not acquire any interest in the Excluded Assets as a result of this transaction.

2.06 Assumed Liabilities. At the Closing, New Operator shall assume and agree to pay when due, and discharge in accordance with the terms thereof, only those liabilities and obligations of Sellers which accrue for performance subsequent to the Closing under the Approved Contracts expressly assumed by New Operator (the “Assumed Liabilities”) in accordance with Section 7.06

below and the OTA. Purchaser shall not assume and shall not in any way be responsible for any of the debts, liabilities, or obligations of any kind or nature of Sellers. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser shall have no liability for any Excluded Liabilities or Excluded Assets.

2.07 Inspection Period. Purchaser shall have a period of thirty (30) days following the execution of this Agreement by all parties (the “Inspection Period”), at Purchaser’s expense, to make such physical, legal, zoning, title, survey, land use, environmental, financial and other examinations, inspections and investigations of the Facility or the use or operation thereof which Purchaser, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, may determine to make. If Purchaser is not satisfied with its inspections of the Facility, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, Purchaser may cancel this Agreement by written notice of cancellation (the “Termination Notice”) given to Sellers on or before the end of the Inspection Period, and thereupon Purchaser shall receive prompt refund of the Initial Deposit and all interest accrued thereon; provided, however, Sellers shall be entitled to $100.00 as compensation for the inspection rights granted herein. Upon termination of this Agreement under the terms of this Section, no party to this Agreement shall have any further claims or obligations under this Agreement, except those obligations that expressly survive termination of this Agreement. If Purchaser does not timely deliver the Termination Notice to Sellers, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to waive its right to terminate this Agreement under the terms of this Section (but shall not be deemed to waive any other term of this Agreement, including satisfaction of the conditions precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to close expressly provided herein).

2.08 Right To Enter the Property for Inspections. In connection with Purchaser’s inspection rights provided above, Purchaser, New Operator, and their respective agents and contractors, shall have the right during the Inspection Period and continuing up until the Closing Date during reasonable business hours in a fashion such that Sellers’ business operations are not disrupted to: (i) enter the Facility, (ii) perform tests and conduct studies on the Facility, and (iii) meet with supervisors and staff. Purchaser hereby agrees to restore any disturbed property to its condition prior to the conducting of Purchaser’s inspections. Purchaser’s obligation to restore any disturbed property shall survive Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement. If Purchaser hires any third party site inspectors, engineers or other parties that will invasively inspect and/or test the Facility, Purchaser shall also ensure that such third party(ies) have adequate insurance, determined in Sellers' reasonable discretion, covering any potential damage to the Facility as a result of such inspection/testing (and certificates evidencing such coverage naming Sellers as an additional insured shall be made available to Sellers prior to such access). Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Sellers harmless from and against any costs, damage, liability, loss, expense, lien or claim (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees) arising from physical damage to the Facility and injury to persons asserted against or incurred by Sellers as a direct result of entry onto the Facility by Purchaser, its agents, employees and representatives. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the Closing, or if the sale is not consummated, the termination of this Agreement, for a period of twelve (12) months.

2.09 Post-Closing Escrow. At Closing, FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($50,000.00) of the Purchase Price shall be placed in escrow with the Escrow Agent to be held pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement in the form of the Post-Closing Escrow Agreement among Seller, Purchaser and Escrow Agent attached hereto as Exhibit G (the “Post-Closing Escrow

Agreement”) in order to protect Purchaser against pre-closing liabilities that arise post-closing. All earnings on the funds held pursuant to the Post-Closing Escrow Agreement shall accrue to the escrow account and be disbursed with the escrow funds. If no claim has been made pursuant to the Post-Closing Escrow Agreement, then the escrowed funds shall be released to Seller six (6) months following Closing.

ARTICLE VIII

RISK OF LOSS; CONDEMNATION

8.01 Damage; Risk of Loss. In the event there is damage to or loss to any part of the Facility (whether by fire, theft, vandalism or other cause or casualty) between the Effective Date and the Closing, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount necessary to repair the damage, which reduction shall be offset by any amounts actually received from Sellers’s insurance company and assigned to Purchaser; provided, however, in the event of a casualty which in Purchaser’s judgment adversely affects the Business or operation of the Facility, Purchaser, at its sole option, may either (i) terminate this Agreement in its entirety and thereupon receive prompt refund of the Xxxxxxx Money and all interest accrued thereon, or (ii) terminate this Agreement with respect to the damaged property only with a reduction in the Purchase Price determined in this Section. Upon the termination of this Agreement under the terms of this Section, no party to this Agreement shall have any further claims under this Agreement against any other party. The reduction in Purchase Price shall be determined, based on the value on the date of this Agreement of the Facility damaged or lost, by an MAI appraiser to be mutually selected and paid equally by Sellers and Purchaser. If Sellers and Purchaser are unable to mutually select an appraiser, then one appraiser shall be selected and paid by Purchaser and one appraiser shall be selected and paid by Sellers. If a party does not select an appraiser as provided in the preceding sentence within ten (10) days after the other party has given written notice of the name of its appraiser, such party shall lose its right to appoint an appraiser. If the two appraisers are selected by the parties as provided above, they shall meet promptly to determine the reduction in Purchase Price. If they are unable to agree within fifteen (15) days after the second appraiser has been selected, they shall jointly select a third appraiser. The reduction in Purchase Price shall be set by agreement of any two (2) of the three (3) appraisers. If the two (2) appraisers are unable to agree on a third appraiser within thirty (30) days after the second appraiser has been selected, either party, by giving written notice to the other, may apply to the American Arbitration Association for the purpose of determining the reduction in Purchase Price. Sellers and Purchaser shall each bear one-half (1/2) of the cost of selecting the third appraiser and of paying the third appraiser’s fee. Each appraiser, however selected, shall be a person who has not previously acted in any capacity for either party or their counsel. If any two (2) appraisers are unable to determine the reduction in Purchase Price within fifteen (15) days after the third appraiser has been selected, then the three (3) appraisals shall be added together and their total divided by three (3); the resulting quotient shall be the reduction in Purchase Price. In determining the reduction in Purchase Price, each appraiser shall take into consideration, understand, and correctly employ those recognized techniques that are necessary to produce a credible appraisal.

8.02 Condemnation. If, prior to Closing, any Governmental Authority shall institute condemnation, eminent domain or similar proceedings or take any steps preliminary thereto (including the giving of any direct or indirect notice of intent to institute any such proceeding) with respect to the Facility, Purchaser may in its sole discretion either (i) terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Sellers prior to Closing and receive a prompt refund of the Xxxxxxx Money and all interest accrued thereon, and the parties shall have no further obligations hereunder, (ii) terminate this Agreement with respect only to that part which is condemned or threatened to be condemned with a reduction in the Purchase Price determined as provided in Section 8.01 of this Agreement, or (iii) elect to proceed to Closing by written notice to Sellers. If Purchaser elects to proceed to Closing, Purchaser shall either receive a credit at Closing equal to the condemnation proceeds received by Sellers or receive an assignment of the right to all condemnation proceeds from Sellers.

8.03 Risk of Loss Generally. Except as otherwise specifically provided above, risk of loss from the Facility, including, without limitation, operation of any law which would impose liability relating to ownership of the Facility, shall not pass until acceptance of the deed by Purchaser at Closing.

ARTICLE IX

SURVIVAL OF PROVISIONS AND INDEMNIFICATION

9.01 Survival. The covenants, obligations, representations and warranties of Purchaser and Sellers contained in this Agreement, any exhibit or schedule hereto, or any certificate or document delivered pursuant hereto shall be deemed to be material and to have been relied upon by the parties hereto notwithstanding any investigation prior to the Closing and shall survive the Closing for a period of eighteen (18) months and shall not be merged into any deeds or other documents delivered in connection with the Closing.

9.02 Indemnification by Sellers. Sellers promptly shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser, New Operator and each of their respective directors, officers, managers, members, employees, Affiliates, and agents (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties” and each, a “Purchaser Indemnified Party”) against any and all losses, costs, Claims (whether or not disclosed herein), liabilities, obligations, damages, and expenses (including reasonable costs of investigation, court costs and legal fees) of any nature (collectively, “Losses”) resulting from or relating to any manner to (i) any breach by Sellers or failure to perform by Sellers of any of their covenants, obligations, representations or warranties or breach or untruth of any covenant, obligation, representation, or warranty contained in this Agreement, any exhibit or schedule hereto (including all updates to any schedule or exhibit), or any certificate or document of Sellers delivered pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) any Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability (regardless of whether information with respect thereto is set forth on a schedule or exhibit hereto) or (iii) the ownership and operation of the Facility prior to the Closing Date.

9.03 Indemnification by Purchaser. Purchaser promptly shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sellers and each of the directors, officers, managers, members, employees, Affiliates, and agents of the Sellers (collectively, the “Sellers Indemnified Parties” and each, a “Seller Indemnified Party”) against any and all Losses resulting from any breach by Purchaser or failure to perform by Purchaser of any of its covenants, obligations, representations or warranties or breach or untruth of any covenant, obligation, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, any exhibit or schedule hereto (including all updates to any exhibit or schedule), or any certificate or document of Purchaser delivered pursuant to this Agreement.

9.04 Rules Regarding Indemnification. The obligations and liabilities of each party which may be subject to indemnification liability hereunder (the “indemnifying party”) to the other party (the “indemnified party”) shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) Claims by Non-parties. (1) The indemnified party shall give written notice (“Indemnity Notice”) within a reasonably prompt period of time to the indemnifying party of any written Claim by a third party which is likely to give rise to a Claim by the indemnified party against the indemnifying party based on the indemnity agreements contained in this Article, stating the nature and basis of said Claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known. The Indemnity Notice shall give notice to the indemnifying party that pursuant to the indemnity, the indemnified party is asserting against the indemnifying party a claim with respect to a potential loss from the third party Claim, and such Indemnity Notice shall constitute the assertion of a claim for indemnity by the indemnified party. (2) If, within thirty (30) days after receiving an Indemnity Notice, the indemnifying party advises the indemnified party that it will provide indemnification and assume the defense at its expense, then so long as such defense is being reasonably conducted, the indemnified party shall not settle or admit liability with respect to the third party Claim and shall afford to the indemnifying party and defending counsel all reasonable assistance in defending against such Claim. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense, counsel shall be selected by such party and if the indemnified party then retains its own counsel, it shall do so at its own expense. (3) If the indemnified party does not receive a written objection to the Indemnity Notice from the indemnifying party within thirty (30) days after the indemnifying party’s receipt of such Indemnity Notice, the claim for indemnity shall be conclusively presumed to have been assented to and approved, and in such case the indemnified party may control the defense of the matter or case and, at its sole discretion, settle or admit liability. (4) If within the aforesaid thirty (30) day period the indemnified party shall have received written objection to an Indemnity Notice (which written objection shall briefly describe the basis of the objection to the Indemnity Notice or the amount thereof, all in good faith), then for a period of ten (10) days after receipt of such objection the parties shall attempt to settle the dispute as between the indemnified and indemnifying parties. If they are unable to settle the dispute, the unresolved issue or issues shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association. (5) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of defense counsel as described in Sections 9.04(a)(2) or (a)(3), if: (i) the third party Claim

would, if successful, result in the imposition of damages for which the indemnifying party would not be solely responsible, or (ii) representation of both parties by the same counsel would otherwise be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, then the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume the entire defense and each party shall be entitled to retain counsel who shall cooperate with one another in defending against such claim. In the case of clause (i) of this paragraph, the indemnifying party shall be obligated to bear only that portion of the expense of the indemnified party’s counsel that is in proportion to the damages indemnifiable by the indemnifying party compared to the total amount of the third-party claim against the indemnified party. In the case of clause (ii) of this paragraph, the indemnifying party shall pay all costs of defense of both itself and the actual out-of-pocket costs of the indemnified party. (6) The indemnifying party will not compromise or settle any such action, suit, proceeding, claim or demand without the prior written consent of the indemnified party unless such compromise or settlement (i) gives the indemnified party a full and unconditional release of and from any claims based on matters which are the subject of the third party Claim, (ii) involves only the payment of money by the indemnifying party, and (iii) does not involve the entry of any injunction or other equitable relief against the indemnified party, nor otherwise require or prohibit any particular course of conduct or activity by the indemnified party.

(b) Claims by a Party. (1) The determination of a Claim asserted by a party hereunder pursuant to this Article (other than as set forth in Subsection 9.04(a) above) shall be made as follows: (1) The indemnified party shall give an Indemnity Notice within a reasonably prompt period of time to the indemnifying party of any Claim by the indemnified party which has not been made pursuant to Subsection 9.04(a) above, stating the nature and basis of such Claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known. (2) The Indemnity Notice shall be deemed to have resulted in a determination in favor of the indemnified party and to have resulted in a liability of the indemnifying party in an amount equal to the amount of such Claim estimated pursuant to this Section 9.04 if within forty-five (45) days after the indemnifying party’s receipt of the Indemnity Notice the indemnified party shall not have received written objection to the Indemnity Notice. In such event, the claim for indemnity shall be conclusively presumed to have been assented to and approved. (3) If within the aforesaid forty-five (45) day period the indemnified party shall have received written objection to an Indemnity Notice (which written objection shall briefly describe the basis of the objection to the Indemnity Notice or the amount thereof, all in good faith), then for a period of sixty (60) days after receipt of such objection the parties shall attempt to settle the disputed claim as between the indemnified and indemnifying parties. If they are unable to settle the disputed claim, the unresolved issue or issues shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association.

9.05 Remedy. Should any Purchaser Indemnified Party be entitled to indemnification or to be held harmless hereunder then, in addition to any other right or remedy which such Purchaser Indemnified Party may have, Purchaser may withhold or offset any payment due Sellers, or any Affiliate thereof, under any obligation owed any such person or entity.

9.06 Limitation of Indemnification. No party shall be entitled to indemnification from any other party hereunder until such time that the claims subject to indemnification equal or exceed, in the aggregate, the sum of TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND AND 00/100 Dollars ($25,000.00) after which such indemnifying party shall be liable for all such claims beginning with the first dollar of claims. The maximum liability of each of Sellers and Purchaser for indemnification under this Agreement shall be in the aggregate an amount equal to the Purchase Price; provided however, that this limitation shall not apply to any knowing and intentional breach by a party of its representations and warranties under this Agreement or any fraud committed by a party in connection with this Agreement.

9.07 Effect of Insurance. The amount of any indemnification under this Article IX shall be reduced by the insurance proceeds received and any other amount, if any, recovered from third parties by the indemnified party (or its affiliated entities) with respect to any indemnifiable amounts, provided, however, that a party’s obligation to timely indemnify is not modified by the foregoing, and provided, further, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no party shall be required to make or pursue any claim under its insurance policies. If, after an indemnification payment is made by any indemnifying party to any indemnified party, such indemnified party subsequently recovers insurance proceeds or proceeds from a third party in respect of such indemnifiable amounts, then such indemnified party shall pay to the indemnifying party the amount of such insurance proceeds (but not in excess of the indemnification payment or payments actually received with respect to such indemnifiable amounts), less expenses and increases in premiums.

ARTICLE X

REMEDIES FOR FAILURE TO CLOSE

10.01 Remedies Upon Default. Purchaser shall fully perform and comply with all agreements, conditions and covenants of Purchaser required by this Agreement to be performed or complied with hereunder, provided the Sellers may waive in writing, in whole or in part at or prior to the Closing, the Purchaser’s performance of and compliance with any such agreement, condition or covenant. If the purchase and sale of the Facility pursuant hereto is not closed and consummated through the default of the Purchaser hereunder (which default is not cured by Purchaser within five (5) days delivery of notice of such default from Sellers), or the failure of Purchaser to satisfy conditions to Closing specified herein which are its responsibility, Sellers shall receive the Xxxxxxx Money as liquidated damages, and this shall be Sellers’ sole remedy at law and equity, Sellers hereby waiving and relinquishing any and all other remedies available to them. The parties acknowledge the difficulty of ascertaining Sellers’ damages in such a circumstance and agree that this amount represents a reasonable and mutual attempt by Purchaser and Sellers to anticipate the consequence to Sellers of Purchaser’s breach.

Sellers shall fully perform and comply with all agreements, conditions, and covenants required by this Agreement to be performed or complied with by the Sellers hereunder, provided, the Purchaser may expressly waive in writing in whole or in part at or prior to the Closing Date the Sellers’ performance or any compliance with such agreements, conditions, and covenants. If the purchase and sale of the Facility pursuant hereto is not closed and consummated through the default of the Sellers hereunder (which default is not cured by Sellers within five (5) days delivery of notice of such default from Purchaser), or the failure of Sellers to satisfy conditions to Closing specified herein which are its responsibility, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to the Purchaser and the Purchaser shall have the right to pursue such remedies at law or in equity against the Sellers as maybe afforded to it under law or equity, including, without limitation, specific performance.

10.02 Attorney’s Fees. In the event either party hereto brings an action at law or other proceeding against the other party to enforce any of the terms, covenants or conditions hereof or any instrument executed in pursuance of this Agreement, or by reason of any breach or default hereunder or thereunder, the party prevailing in any such action or proceeding and any appeal thereupon shall be paid all costs and reasonable attorney’s fees by the other party, and in the event any judgment is secured by such prevailing party, all such costs and attorney’s fees shall be included in any such judgment, attorney’s fees to be set by the court and not by the jury. For purposes of this Section 10.02, “prevailing party” shall mean, in the case of a person asserting a Claim, such person is successful in obtaining substantially all of the relief sought, and in the case of a person defending against or responding to a claim, such person is successful in denying substantially all of the relief sought.

10.03 Waiver. No delay in exercising any right or remedy shall constitute a waiver thereof, and no waiver by Sellers or Purchaser of the breach of any covenant of this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other covenant or condition of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XI
