(i) if at the expiration of the Due Diligence Period or the Extended Due Diligence Period (if applicable) this Agreement has not been assigned to an Unaffiliated Assignee, that the lender under SSLI’s senior revolving line of credit shall have provided its consent to the Transaction (or that such consent is not required) under the terms of the documents evidencing and securing SSLI’s senior revolving line of credit (it being understood and agreed that evidence such consent is not required may be demonstrated by delivery by Transferee of a copy of such line of credit agreement);
(ii) if at the expiration of the Due Diligence Period or the Extended Due Diligence Period (if applicable) this Agreement has not been assigned to an Unaffiliated Assignee, that the Board of Directors of SSLI shall have approved this Agreement and the Transaction (or that such consent is not required) under the terms of the organizational documents of SSLI; and
(iii) GP, Tenant GP and any Affiliates thereof whose consent shall be required with respect to the Transaction shall have consented to this Agreement, the Transaction, and the “Transaction” as defined in the Tenant Transfer Agreement.
(c) Title.
(i) Transferee shall deliver to Transferor and its counsel a copy of a commitment to issue the Transferee Owner’s Policy or the Endorsement, as applicable (the “Title Commitment”), and copies of all Exceptions shown in the Title Commitment with respect to each of the Properties from First American Title Insurance Company (the “Title Company”) within two (2) Business Days after Transferee’s receipt of the Title Commitment.
-12-
(ii) Transferee acknowledges that it has ordered a revised and recertified survey of each Property (each, a “Survey”) and shall deliver to Transferor and its counsel a copy of each Survey within two (2) Business Days after Transferee’s receipt thereof.
(iii) For each Property, Transferee will have until the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the last day of the Due Diligence Period (or, if timely extended, the Extended Due Diligence Period) to examine title to such Property and the Survey and, in Transferee’s sole discretion to object, by delivery of a notice of objections to Transferor (the “Title Objections”), to any exceptions to title disclosed on the Title Commitment and to any matters disclosed on the Survey that could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the ownership and operation of the Properties (“Exceptions”).
(iv) No later than five (5) Business Days following Transferor’s receipt of the last of Transferee’s Title Objections (which shall note therein that it is the last such Title Objection), Transferor shall give Transferee a notice (the “Transferor Title Reply”), of Transferor’s election either to cure or not cure any of Transferee’s Title Objections. In the event that Transferor fails to notify Transferee, in writing, of Transferor’s intention to cure any Title Objection, Transferor shall be deemed to have elected not to cure such Title Objection. If Transferor elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to attempt to cure any of Transferee’s Title Objections, then Transferee may (A) terminate this Agreement by notice to Transferor given not later than the fifth (5th) Business Day after the receipt of the Transferor Title Reply (or, if no Transferor Title Reply is delivered, the fifth (5th) Business Day after such Transferor Title Reply was to be received hereunder), in which event the obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate, neither party hereto shall have any further obligations in connection herewith (except under those provisions that expressly survive a termination of this Agreement), and, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9 hereof, the Deposit shall be returned to Transferee, or (B) waive such Title Objections in writing and proceed to Closing (without any reduction in the Consideration), in which case Transferor shall transfer to Transferee the Interests, free and clear of any Encumbrance, on the Closing Date (but will have no obligation to cause the satisfaction of the waived Title Objections with respect to any of the Properties prior to or following the Closing Date). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, unless Transferor expressly elects to do so in writing, Transferor shall have no obligation to remove or cure any Exceptions.
(v) Unless this Agreement is terminated prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period or Extended Due Diligence Period (if applicable), Transferee shall be deemed to have waived its objection to all Exceptions or Title Objections, except only (i) any recorded Encumbrance against any Property first arising following the date of the Title Update (as hereinafter defined) and not caused solely by the action or inaction of Transferee (which such Encumbrances shall be governed by the provisions of clause (vii) below of this Section 6(c)), and (ii) those matters Transferor has expressly agreed in writing to remove pursuant hereto, it being understood and agreed that Transferee shall be obligated to cause the Title Company to provide to Transferee (with a copy to Transferor and its counsel) an update to the Title Commitment (the “Title Update”) which Transferee shall order no earlier than twelve (12) Business Days and no
-13-
later than seven (7) Business Days prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period or Extended Due Diligence Period (if applicable). All matters other than those set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence and otherwise affecting title to the Properties will constitute the “Permitted Exceptions”. Transferor agrees not to enter into any agreement during the term of this Agreement that reasonably could be expected to cause an Encumbrance against the Property without the prior written consent of Transferee.
(vi) If Transferor fails on or before Closing to remove any Title Objection that Transferor, in its sole and absolute discretion, expressly agreed in writing to remove, then, notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 4 or 9 hereof, Transferee’s sole remedies shall be either (i) to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit, in which event neither party shall have any further right or obligation to the other (other than those specific provisions herein which, by their terms, expressly survive termination), or (ii) to proceed to close the Transaction without any reduction in the Consideration.
(vii) If any recorded Encumbrance against any Property that is not a Permitted Exception is disclosed to Transferee by the Title Company after Transferee’s receipt of the Title Update and prior to the Closing Date, Transferee shall deliver a Title Objection to Transferor with respect to any such Encumbrance to which Transferee objects promptly after Transferee becomes aware of such Encumbrance. If such Title Objections shall result solely from the actions of Transferor, Transferor shall be required to remove (or cause to be removed), at its expense, such Title Objections. If such Title Objections shall not result solely from the actions of Transferor, and does not result (in whole or in part) from any actions of any Transferee Representative or any Affiliate thereof, no later than five (5) Business Days following receipt of any such Title Objection, Transferor shall give Transferee a Transferor Title Reply of Transferor’s election either to cure or not cure any of Transferee’s Title Objections. In the event that Transferor fails to notify Transferee, in writing, of Transferor’s intention to cure any such Title Objection, Transferor shall be deemed to have elected not to cure such Title Objection. If Transferor elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to attempt to cure any of Transferee’s Title Objections, then Transferee may (A) terminate this Agreement by notice to Transferor given not later than the fifth (5th) Business Day after the receipt of the Transferor Title Reply (or, if no Transferor Title Reply is delivered, the fifth (5th) Business Day after such Transferor Title Reply was to be received hereunder), in which event the obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate, neither party hereto shall have any further obligations in connection herewith (except under those provisions that expressly survive a termination of this Agreement), and, notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 4 or 9 hereof, the Deposit shall be returned to Transferee, or (B) waive such Title Objections in writing and proceed to Closing (without any reduction in the Consideration), in which case Transferor shall transfer to Transferee the Interests, free and clear of any Encumbrance, on the Closing Date (but will have no obligation to cause the satisfaction of the waived Title Objections with respect to any of the Properties prior to or following the Closing Date).
(viii) If Transferor elects to cure any of Transferee’s Title Objections, then the cost and expense of such removal shall be shared by the current partners of the Partnership at the time of execution of this Agreement pro rata in accordance with their partnership interests, without prejudice to Transferor’s or Transferee’s rights to such indemnification against the other partners in the Partnership in the event of any breach of the LP
-14-
Agreement; provided, however, if any of Transferee’s Title Objections shall result solely from the actions of Transferor, Transferor shall be required to remove (or cause to be removed), at its sole cost and expense and not as an expense of the Partnership, such Title Objections.
(ix) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) in the event any Exception arises against any Property which is caused, in whole or in part, by any Transferee Representative or its Affiliate, Transferee shall have no right to deliver a Title Objection with respect thereto, and any such Exception shall constitute a Permitted Exception, and (B) Transferee shall not include any Title Objections with respect to any Exceptions related to the Current Loans, which for purposes hereof shall constitute Permitted Exceptions (notwithstanding that such Exceptions may not appear on the final Transferee Owner’s Policy upon repayment at Closing of the Current Loans).
7. Indemnification of Transferor. Transferee shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless all Transferor Related Parties, the Partnership, GP and the Property Owners from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and costs of enforcement of the indemnification obligation hereunder) (collectively, “Losses”), suffered or incurred by any Transferor Related Party, the Partnership, GP and/or the Property Owners arising out of or in connection with (i) the entry by any Transferee Representatives upon any of the Properties (whether conducted prior to or after the date hereof) in connection with the conduct of the Investigations by the Transferee, (ii) any Investigations or other activities conducted upon any of the Properties by any of the Transferee Representatives in connection with the Transaction, (iii) any Encumbrances filed or recorded against any Property as a direct or indirect consequence of the Investigations of the Transferee Representatives, and/or (iv) any and all other activities undertaken by the Transferee Representatives with respect to or in connection with the Properties and/or the Interests in connection with the Transaction. The foregoing obligation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless shall not include any Losses that are caused by any action or omission of any Transferor Related Party or result solely from the mere discovery by the Transferee Representatives of existing conditions on any Property or with respect to the Interests or the Partnership during the Investigations. The provisions of this Section 7 shall survive the Closing and/or any termination of this Agreement.
8. Property Information and Confidentiality. All Information provided to Transferee, whether prior to or after the date hereof, shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(a) Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, no Transferor Related Party makes any representation or warranty as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Information, or any other studies, documents, reports or other information provided to any Transferee Representative and expressly disclaims any implied representations as to any matter disclosed or omitted. Transferee acknowledges that Transferor is not the general partner of the Partnership or any Property Owner and receives all of its information from GP or Property Manager.
(b) Transferee agrees that no Transferee Representative shall, at any time or in any manner, either directly or indirectly, divulge, disclose or communicate to any person, entity
-15-
or association the Information, or any other knowledge or information acquired by any Transferee Representative from any Transferor Related Party or by any Transferee Representative’s own inspections and investigations, other than matters that were in the public domain at the time of receipt by the Transferee Representatives or to the extent such Transferee Representative had knowledge of such information independent of the Information or other knowledge or information provided by any Transferor Related Party, provided such source was not bound to and did not breach any obligation of confidentiality contained in this Agreement or otherwise. Without Transferor’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Transferee shall not disclose and Transferee shall direct the other Transferee Representatives not to disclose to any person, entity or association (other than a Permitted Assignee) any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect to this Agreement or the Transaction, including, without limitation, the status hereof or thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Transferee may disclose such of the Information and the terms of this Agreement and the Transaction (i) as required by law or court order (provided prior written notice of such disclosure shall be provided to Transferor if time permits), (ii) as Transferee deems necessary or desirable to the other Transferee Representatives or to a Permitted Assignee in connection with Transferee’s Investigations and the Transaction, provided that those to whom such Information is disclosed are informed of the confidential nature thereof and agree(s) to keep the same confidential in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, and (iii) subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, as contained in sales materials distributed to potential investors in the Partnership, GP and the Property Owners. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Transferee hereby further covenants and agrees to comply with any and all confidentiality provisions set forth in the LP Agreement.
(c) Transferee shall indemnify and hold harmless the Transferor Related Parties, the Partnership, GP and the Property Owners from and against any and all Losses suffered or incurred by any Transferor Related Party, the Partnership, GP and/or the Property Owners and arising out of or in connection with a breach by any Transferee Representative of the provisions of this Section 8.
(d) Transferee and the Transferee Representatives shall use reasonable care to maintain in good condition all of the Information furnished or made available to the Transferee Representatives. In the event this Agreement is terminated, the Transferee Representatives promptly shall return to Transferee all originals and copies of the Information in the possession of the Transferee Representatives.
(e) In addition to any other remedies available to Transferor, Transferor shall have the right (and Transferee hereby consents to such right) to seek equitable relief, including, without limitation, injunctive relief or specific performance, against the Transferee Representatives in order to enforce the provisions of this Section 8, it being understood and agreed that money damages may not be sufficient to protect Transferor’s interest in confidentiality.
(f) Notwithstanding any terms or conditions in this Agreement to the contrary, any Person may disclose, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. For the avoidance of
-16-
doubt, this authorization is not intended to permit disclosure of the names of, or other identifying information regarding, the participants in the Transaction, or of any information or the portion of any materials not relevant to the tax treatment or tax structure of such Transaction.
The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive the Closing and/or any termination of this Agreement.
9. Termination. If, on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period or the Extended Due Diligence Period (if applicable), Transferee shall determine that it no longer intends to acquire the Interests for any reason or no reason, then Transferee shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by delivery of written notice to Transferor, on or before 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the date that the Due Diligence Period or the Extended Due Diligence Period (if applicable) shall expire (such notice being herein called the “Termination Notice”), whereupon (i) this Agreement and the obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate (and neither party hereto shall have any further obligations in connection herewith except under those provisions that expressly survive a termination of this Agreement), and (ii) the Deposit shall be delivered to the parties as follows:
(a) In the event that Transferee delivers (or is deemed to have delivered) a Termination Notice to Transferor prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, the Initial Deposit shall be returned to Transferee after such termination;
(b) In the event that (i) this Agreement is not terminated (or deemed terminated) prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, and (ii) Transferee does not extend the Due Diligence Period, the Deposit shall be non-refundable after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and Transferor shall be entitled to the Deposit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement unless there is a material default by Transferor which occurs after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (or is first discovered by Transferee after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, provided such material default has not been cured within ten (10) days after receipt of notice by Transferor from Transferee) of any of its obligations under this Agreement and, as a result, Transferee terminates this Agreement, in which case (x) the Deposit shall be returned to Transferee after such termination and (y) Transferee shall be entitled to the additional remedies specifically set forth in Section 21(a) hereof;
(c) In the event that Transferee (i) timely elects to extend the Due Diligence Period, and (ii) does not timely terminate this Agreement during the Extended Due Diligence Period, the Deposit shall become non-refundable and Transferor shall be entitled to the Deposit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement ; provided, however, that if a material default by Transferor occurs after the expiration of the Extended Due Diligence Period (or is first discovered by Transferee after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period), and such material default is not cured within ten (10) days after receipt of notice by Transferor from Transferee, and as a result Transferee terminates this Agreement, (x) the Deposit shall be returned to Transferee after such termination and (y) Transferee shall be entitled to the additional remedies specifically set forth in Section 21(a) hereof; and
-17-
(d) In the event that Transferee timely delivers a Termination Notice to Transferor during the Extended Due Diligence Period, the Initial Deposit shall be non-refundable to Transferee and shall be delivered to Transferor by Escrowee, but the Additional Deposit shall be fully refundable to Transferee and returned to Transferee after such termination; provided, however, that if a material default by Transferor occurs after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (or is first discovered by Transferee after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period), and such material default is not cured within ten (10) days after receipt of notice by Transferor from Transferee, and as a result Transferee terminates this Agreement, (x) the entire Deposit shall be returned to Transferee after such termination, and (y) Transferee shall be entitled to the additional remedies specifically set forth in Section 21(a) hereof.
10. Current Loans. Simultaneously with the Closing, GP and Transferee shall cause the Partnership to pay off the Current Loans in their entirety using funds of the Partnership funded solely by its constituent partners comprising the Partnership immediately following Closing and/or the proceeds from one or more refinance loans obtained by the Partnership and/or Transferee (collectively, a “Refinance Loan”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, (a) in no event shall the closing of a Refinance Loan be a condition to the Closing, nor shall the Closing be contingent upon Transferee obtaining financing from a Refinance Lender, and (b) in no event shall Transferor have any obligation to fund (directly or indirectly through the Partnership) any capital or other costs in connection with the payoff of the Current Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, it is the express intention of the parties that Transferor’s Net Consideration shall not be reduced by the cost of any Refinance Loan, and it is further a requirement that the Current Loans be fully repaid without reducing the Net Consideration.
11. Representations and Warranties of Transferor.
(a) Transferor represents and warrants to Transferee, as of the date hereof, subject to Schedule 5 annexed hereto and hereby made a part hereof (“Transferor’s Disclosure Schedule”), as follows:
(i) Organization and Good Standing. Transferor is a limited liability company duly organized or formed, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization or formation, with full limited liability company power and authority to conduct its business as it is now being conducted.
(ii) Authority; No Conflict.
(1) This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Transferor enforceable against Transferor in accordance with its terms. Upon the execution and delivery by Transferor of each of the documents and instruments to be executed and delivered by Transferor at Closing (collectively, the “Transferor’s Closing Documents”), each of the Transferor’s Closing Documents will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of Transferor, enforceable against Transferor in accordance with their respective terms. Transferor has all requisite power, authority and capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Transferor’s Closing Documents, as applicable, and to consummate the Transaction. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the
-18-
Transaction have been duly and validly authorized and approved by Transferor, and no other organizational action on the part of Transferor is necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Transferor or the consummation of Transaction.
(2) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Transferor nor the consummation or performance of the Transaction by Transferor will, directly or indirectly (with or without notice or lapse of time): (i) contravene, conflict with, or result in a violation of any provision of the organizational documents of Transferor or, to Transferor’s Knowledge, the Partnership or any Subsidiary, or (ii) to Transferor’s Knowledge, contravene, conflict with, or result in a violation of any Legal Requirement, or any Order of any Governmental Authority, to which Transferor is subject. Except as set forth on Section 11(a)(ii)(2) of Transferor’s Disclosure Schedule, to Transferor’s Knowledge, Transferor is not and will not be required to give any notice or obtain any consent or approval from any Governmental Authority or any other Person in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the Transaction.
(iii) Financial Statements. Transferor has delivered to Transferee the following financial statements which were provided to Transferor by GP: (i) the audited consolidated financial statements of the Partnership and the Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, including the balance sheet and the related statements of operations, statements of changes in partners’ equity and statements of cash flows of the Partnership and the Subsidiaries as of and for the fiscal years then ended, including in each case the notes thereto, together with the report of the independent certified public accounting firm set forth therein (the “Audited Financial Statements”, the balance sheet of the Partnership and the Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010, the “Reference Balance Sheet”; the date of the Reference Balance Sheet, the “Reference Balance Sheet Date”); and (ii) the unaudited interim financial statements of the Partnership and the Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2011, including the balance sheet (the “Interim Balance Sheet”; the date of the Interim Balance Sheet, the “Interim Balance Sheet Date”); and the related statement of operations and statement of cash flows of the Partnership and the Subsidiaries as of and for the three-month period then ended (such financial statements, the “Unaudited Financial Statements”) (the Audited Financial Statements and the Unaudited Financial Statements, collectively, the “Financial Statements”). To Transferor’s Knowledge, the Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied (except, in the case of the Unaudited Financial Statements, for the absence of footnotes (which, to Transferor’s Knowledge, if presented, would not to Transferor’s Knowledge differ materially from those included in the Audited Financial Statements) and normal recurring year end adjustments (the effect of which, to Transferor’s Knowledge, will not, individually or in the aggregate, be material)). To Transferor’s Knowledge, the Financial Statements fairly present the financial position of the Partnership and the Subsidiaries and the results of operations and changes in financial position and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods specified. To Transferor’s Knowledge, the Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the books and records of the Partnership and the Subsidiaries. To Transferor’s Knowledge, the Partnership and each of the Subsidiaries have made and kept (and given Transferee access to) their true, correct and complete books and records and accounts, which accurately and fairly reflect, in reasonable detail, the activities of the Partnership and each of the Subsidiaries in all material respects.

The Interests have not been issued in violation of, and are not subject to, any preemptive or subscription rights or rights of first refusal, except as provided in the LP Agreement. To Transferor’s Knowledge, the Partnership has not violated any applicable Legal Requirements in connection with the offer, sale or issuance of the Interests.

Transferor has not received written notice that any such Proceeding or Order has been threatened or that any event has occurred or circumstance exists that may give rise to or serve as a basis for the commencement of such Proceeding or Order.
(viii) Brokers or Finders. Neither Transferor nor any of its officers, directors, members, managers, employees or agents has incurred any liability or obligation for brokerage or finders’ fees or agents’ commissions or other similar payment in connection with the Transaction.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) if any of the representations or warranties of Transferor contained in this Agreement or in any document or instrument to be delivered by Transferor at the Closing pursuant to Section 15(a) are materially false or inaccurate (due to a cause or circumstance other than a material breach or default of any of Transferor’s obligations under this Agreement), or
-21-
Transferor is in material breach or default of any of its obligations under this Agreement that survive Closing, and Transferee nonetheless closes the Transaction hereunder, then the Transferor shall have no liability or obligation respecting such false or inaccurate representations or warranties or other breach or default (and any cause of action resulting therefrom shall be deemed waived and shall terminate upon Closing) in the event that either (x) on or prior to the Closing, Transferee or Property Manager shall have had actual knowledge of the false or inaccurate representations or warranties or other breach or default (whether due to notice thereof having been delivered by Transferor or otherwise), or (y) the accurate state of facts pertinent to such false or inaccurate representations or warranties or other breach or default was contained in any of the Information and (ii) to the extent the copies of the Operating Leases, the Management Agreements, Financial Statements, the service contracts, any estoppel certificates or any other Information furnished to or otherwise obtained by any Transferee Representative prior to the Closing contain provisions or information that are inconsistent with the foregoing representations and warranties, the Transferor shall have no liability or obligation respecting such inconsistent representations or warranties (and Transferee shall have no cause of action with respect thereto), and such representations and warranties shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to eliminate such inconsistency and to conform such representations and warranties to such Information. Transferor promptly shall advise Transferee in the event Transferor obtains Knowledge that any of the representations or warranties of Transferor contained in this Agreement or in any document or instrument to be delivered by Transferor at the Closing pursuant to Section 15(a) are materially false or incorrect. The provisions of this Section 11(c) shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.

Xxxxxxx Lawsuit
On May 14, 2010, Plaintiff XxXxxxx Xxxxxxx filed a lawsuit on behalf of herself and others similarly situated in the Superior Court of the State of California, Orange County, against Sunrise Senior Living Management, Inc., captioned XxXxxxx Xxxxxxx as an individual and on behalf of all employees similarly situated v. Sunrise Senior Living Management, Inc. and Does 1 through 50, Case No. 00-0000-00000000 (Orange County Superior Court). Plaintiff’s complaint is styled as a class action and alleges that Sunrise failed to properly schedule the purported class of care givers and other related positions so that they would be able to take meal and rest breaks as provided for under California law. The complaint asserts claims for: (1) failure to pay overtime wages; (2) failure to provide meal periods; (3) failure to provide rest periods; (4) failure to pay wages upon ending employment; (5) failure to keep accurate payroll records; (6) unfair business practices; and (7) unfair competition. Plaintiff seeks unspecified compensatory damages, statutory penalties provided for under the California Labor Code, injunctive relief, and costs and attorneys' fees. On June 17, 2010, Sunrise removed this action to the United States District Court for the Central District of California (Case No. SACV 10-897 CJC (MLGx)). On July 16, 2010, plaintiff filed a motion to remand the case to state court. On August 10, 2010, the Court stayed all proceedings pending early mediation by the parties. Early mediation was unsuccessful, and on January 18, 2011, the United States District Court for the Central District of California denied plaintiff’s motion to remand the action to state court. On July 1, 2011, Plaintiff filed her motion for class certification and limited discovery related to the class certification motion is ongoing. A hearing on Plaintiff’s motion for class certification is presently scheduled for September 2011. Sunrise believes that Plaintiff's allegations are not meritorious and that a class action is not appropriate in this case, and intends to defend itself vigorously. Because of the early stage of this suit, we cannot at this time estimate an amount or range of potential loss in the event of an unfavorable outcome.
Feely Lawsuit
On July 7, 2011, Plaintiff Xxxxx X. Xxxxx, a former Sunrise employee, filed a lawsuit on behalf of herself and others similarly situated in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, against Sunrise Senior Living, Inc., captioned Xxxxx X. Xxxxx, individually and on behalf of other persons similarly situated v. Sunrise Senior Living, Inc. and Does 1 through 55, Case No. BC 465006 (Los Angeles County Superior Court). Plaintiff’s complaint is styled as a class action and alleges that Sunrise improperly classified a position formerly held by her as exempt from the overtime obligations of California’s wage and hour laws. The complaint asserts claims for: (1) failure to pay overtime wages, (2) failure to provide accurate wage statements, (3) unfair competition, and (4) failure to pay all wages owed upon termination. Plaintiff seeks unspecified compensatory damages, statutory penalties provided for under the California Labor Code, restitution and disgorgement of unpaid overtime wages under the California Business and Professions Code, prejudgment interest, costs and attorney’s fees. Sunrise believes that Plaintiff’s allegations are not meritorious and that a class action is not appropriate in this case, and intends to defend itself vigorously. Because of the early stage of this lawsuit, Sunrise cannot at this time estimate an amount or range of potential loss in the event of an unfavorable outcome.
