at

interest of Sellers in and to the Facilities free and clear of any mortgage,
security interest, lien, charge, claim or other encumbrance except the Permitted

Prior to the Effective Date, Purchaser has deposited with Title Company the
amount of One Million Three Hundred Fourteen Thousand Two Hundred Seventy-Two
and No/100 Dollars ($1,314,272.00) as an xxxxxxx money deposit
5
(the

Escrow Agreement. Purchaser shall be entitled to apply the Xxxxxxx Money to
the
payment of the portion of the Purchase Price due from Purchaser at the Closing.
The Xxxxxxx Money is refundable only in the event that this Agreement is
terminated pursuant to Sections
9.1(a)(i), 9.1(a)(ii), 9.1(a)(iii) or 9.1(a)(iv)
hereof.
Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Xxxxxxx Money
is
not refundable to Purchaser under any circumstances and shall be deemed to
be
consideration earned by Sellers for the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, and the forfeiture of any Xxxxxxx Money pursuant to this Agreement
shall not be deemed to be liquidated damages or otherwise to limit Seller’s
remedies for a breach or default by Purchaser under this Agreement.
2.2 Assumption
of Liabilities.
Upon
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser,
as of the Closing Date, shall assume all of the Assumed
Liabilities.

Price.

responsibility of the Tenants under the Tenant Leases and shall not be prorated.
All unpaid Rent and any other amounts due and payable under the Tenant Leases
as
of the Closing Date shall be charged to Purchaser and paid at the Closing,
and
Rent for the month in which Closing occurs shall be prorated through the Closing
Date. Sellers shall retain all security deposits and other similar deposits
relating to the Tenant Leases, and Purchaser shall receive a credit for such
deposits at the Closing. In addition to the payment of the Purchase Price,
Purchaser shall, at and as a condition to the Closing, be obligated (i) to
pay
all unpaid amounts that are owed under the Term Mortgage Loan which are required
to pay the Term Mortgage Loan in full, and (ii) either (A) to pay all unpaid

pay
the Emeritus Mortgage Loan in full or (B) to cause the Mortgage Loan Assignee
to
purchase the Emeritus Mortgage Loan from HR for a purchase price equal to all
unpaid amounts that are owed under the Emeritus Mortgage Loan in consideration
of HR’s execution and delivery of the Mortgage Assignment to the Mortgage Loan
Assignee at the Closing. If Purchaser elects to pay the Emeritus Mortgage Loan
in full at the Closing, Purchaser must provide, not less than two (2) Business
Days prior to the Closing Date, written notice to Sellers of any such election,
and, in the absence of such written notice of Purchaser’s election, Purchaser

are
owed under the Emeritus Mortgage Loan. Purchaser shall identify the Mortgage
Loan Assignee in a written notice to Sellers not less than three (3) Business
Days prior to the Closing Date. Sellers shall cause HR to accept, or cause
the
acceptance of, prepayment of the Term Mortgage Loan and, as applicable, accept

Mortgage Loan irrespective of the failure of Purchaser to satisfy any applicable
prepayment notice requirements, and to deliver a payoff letter to Purchaser
at
least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.
(b) In
addition to any adjustments to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section
2.3(a)
hereof,
the Purchase Price shall be subject to further adjustment as set forth
below:
6
(i) the

any
Facility that is not purchased by Purchaser pursuant to Section
10.2
hereof,
the Purchase Price shall be decreased by an amount determined in accordance
with
Section
10.2
hereof.
(c) After
taking into account any adjustments to the Purchase Price as set forth above,
the Purchase Price (plus the unpaid amounts owed under the Term Mortgage Loan
required to pay the Term Mortgage Loan in full and either the unpaid amounts
owed under the Emeritus Mortgage Loan required to pay the Emeritus Mortgage
Loan
in full or the purchase price of the Emeritus Mortgage Loan if it is to be
purchased as provided herein) shall be paid by Purchaser (and the Mortgage
Loan
Assignee as provided herein) by wire transfer of immediately available funds
to
an escrow account maintained by Title Company for delivery to Sellers (and
HR,
as applicable) upon the consummation of the Closing. As soon as possible after
the Closing (but not later than thirty (30) days after the Closing Date), the
Parties shall reconcile the actual amount of any prorations that were estimated
as of the Closing. To the extent that a Party subsequently verifies that the

THIS

(the

the
entities that have executed this Agreement on the signature pages hereto as
sellers (individually, a “Seller” and collectively, the “Sellers”),
and
EMERITUS
CORPORATION, a
Washington corporation, as purchaser (the
“Purchaser”), and FIDELITY
NATIONAL TITLE INSURANCE COMPANY,
a
California corporation (the “Escrow Agent”).
W
I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS,
pursuant to the Agreement of Sale and Purchase, dated as of ___________, 2007,
as hereafter amended or modified by the parties thereto (the “Purchase
Agreement”), by and among Sellers and Purchaser, Sellers have agreed to sell and
Purchaser has agreed to purchase certain assets of Sellers as set forth therein;
and
WHEREAS,
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Purchaser must deposit the Xxxxxxx Money
(as
herein defined) with Escrow Agent to be held and paid in accordance with the
Purchase Agreement and this Agreement;
NOW,
THEREFORE,
for and
in consideration of the above and foregoing premises and the mutual covenants
and agreements set forth hereinbelow, together with other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged
by
the parties hereto, Sellers, Purchaser and Escrow Agent hereby agree as
follows:
1. Escrow.
Purchaser hereby delivers to Escrow Agent the sum of One
Million Three Hundred Fourteen Thousand Two Hundred Seventy-Two and No/100
Dollars ($1,314,272.00) (the
“Xxxxxxx Money”) to be held by Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of the
Purchase Agreement and this Agreement. Escrow Agent shall deposit the Xxxxxxx
Money in an interest-bearing account that is maintained at depository
institution reasonably acceptable to Sellers and Purchaser.
2. Purpose
of Escrow.
Purchaser has deposited the Xxxxxxx Money with Escrow Agent to comply with
Purchaser’s obligations pursuant to Section
2.1
of the
Purchase Agreement.
3. Disbursement
of Xxxxxxx Money.
Subject
to the terms of the Purchase Agreement and this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall
disburse the Xxxxxxx Money pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement,
including, but not limited to, Section
2.1
of the
Purchase Agreement. Within two (2) Business Days (the term “Business Day” having
the same meaning herein as in the Purchase Agreement) after receipt of written
notification from Sellers (the “Sellers’ Default Notice”) that
C-1
Purchaser
has breached or defaulted under the Purchase Agreement and Sellers are entitled,
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, to disbursement of the Xxxxxxx Money (or
so
much thereof not previously disbursed pursuant to the terms of the Purchase
Agreement), Escrow Agent shall send to Purchaser a written notification (the
“Purchaser’s Notice”) advising Purchaser that Escrow Agent intends to disburse
the Xxxxxxx Money (or so much thereof not previously disbursed pursuant to
the
terms of the Purchase Agreement) to Sellers no earlier than two (2) Business
Days after Purchaser’s receipt of such written notice from Escrow Agent. Sellers
also shall provide a copy of Sellers’ Default Notice to Purchaser. Escrow Agent
shall be entitled to rely, for purposes of this Agreement, upon any statement
delivered by Sellers or Purchaser pursuant to this Section
3.
Escrow
Agent shall disburse the Xxxxxxx Money (or so much thereof not previously
disbursed pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement) no earlier than
two
(2) Business Days after Purchaser’s receipt of Purchaser’s Notice, provided,
however, that Purchaser has not notified Escrow Agent that it disputes Sellers’
Default Notice. In the event of any disputes among the parties hereto in
connection with the Xxxxxxx Money or this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall refuse
to comply with the claims and demands by Sellers or Purchaser so long as the
dispute shall then continue. In so refusing, Escrow Agent shall make no delivery
or other disposition of the Xxxxxxx Money, except as permitted under
Section
6(a)
below,
and, in so doing, Escrow Agent shall not be or become liable in any way to
any
person for its failure or refusal to comply with conflicting or adverse demands
and it shall continue to refrain from acting and refuse to act until it receives
authorization as follows:
(a)
|
Written
authorization to act that is executed by Sellers and Purchaser;
or
|
(b)
|
A
certified and file-stamped copy of a court order resolving the
disagreement or directing specific
action.
|
Upon
the
receipt of either such document, Escrow Agent shall promptly act according
to
its terms.
4. Termination
of Escrow.
This
Agreement shall terminate upon the disbursement of all of the Xxxxxxx Money
pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement or this Agreement. Interest
that
accrues on the Xxxxxxx Money shall be combined with and treated as a part of
the
Xxxxxxx Money. In the event all or a portion of the Xxxxxxx Money is paid to
Sellers pursuant to this Agreement, any interest on the Xxxxxxx Money in the
possession of Escrow Agent at the time such Xxxxxxx Money is paid to Sellers
shall be paid to Sellers. Interest on any portion of the Xxxxxxx Money that
is
to be refunded to Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement shall be paid
to
Purchaser.
5. No
Representations by Escrow Agent.
Escrow
Agent shall not be liable for the performance or non-performance or delay in
performance of any obligation of Sellers, Purchaser or any other person or
entity.
6. Escrow
Agent.
The
escrow of the Xxxxxxx Money shall be subject to the following
provisions:
(a) Duties
and Authorization.
The
payment of the Xxxxxxx Money to Escrow Agent is for the accommodation of Sellers
and Purchaser. The duties of Escrow Agent shall
C-2
|
be
determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement. Sellers
and
Purchaser authorize Escrow Agent, without creating any obligation
on the
part of Escrow Agent, in the event this Agreement or the Xxxxxxx
Money
become involved in litigation, to deposit the Xxxxxxx Money with
the clerk
of the court in which the litigation is pending and thereupon Escrow
Agent
shall be fully relieved and discharged of any further responsibility
under
this Agreement. Sellers and Purchaser also authorize Escrow Agent,
if it
is threatened with litigation, to interplead all interested parties
in any
court of competent jurisdiction and to deposit the Xxxxxxx Money
with the
clerk of the court and thereupon Escrow Agent shall be fully relieved
and
discharged of any further responsibility
hereunder.
|
(b) Liability.
Escrow
Agent shall not be liable for any mistake of fact or error of judgment or any
acts or omissions of any kind unless caused by its willful misconduct or
negligence. Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any instrument or
signature reasonably believed by it to be genuine and may assume that any person
purporting to give any written notice or instruction in connection with this
Agreement is duly authorized to do so by the party on whose behalf such writing,
notice or instruction is given.
(c) Indemnification
of Escrow Agent.
Sellers
and Purchaser will jointly and severally indemnify Escrow Agent from and hold
it
harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence
or
willful misconduct on the part of Escrow Agent arising out of or in connection
with the acceptance of, or the performance of its duties under, this Agreement,
as well as the costs and expenses of defending against any claim or liability
arising under this Agreement. This Section
6(c)
shall
survive the termination of this Agreement.
7. Counterparts.
This
Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which, when executed,
shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together
constitute one and the same instrument.
8. Notices.
