8.1          Contracts.  Within five (5) days prior to the end of the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall notify Sellers in writing which (if any) Contracts Purchaser shall assume.  If Purchaser fails to provide such notice, Purchaser shall not assume any Contracts.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8.1(c), if any of the Contracts cannot be terminated as of the Closing Date either because a longer notification period is required or because they cannot be terminated without a penalty, Sellers shall notify Purchaser at least ten (10) days prior to the end of the Inspection Period and Purchaser shall either (i) elect to terminate this Agreement and receive the Deposit or (ii) assume the Contracts identified in Sellers’ notice as of the Closing Date.

 

8.2          Licensing.  Purchaser hereby covenants with Sellers between the Effective Date and the Closing Date to use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into the OTAs with the Operators and to obtain all material licenses, certificates, permits and approvals from all Federal, state and local regulatory agencies required to acquire, own, lease, manage and operate each Property in the manner currently operated.  Sellers hereby covenants to reasonably cooperate with Purchaser, at no out-of-pocket cost or expense to Sellers, in obtaining all such licenses, certificates, permits and approvals.

ARTICLE 9
APPORTIONMENTS

 

9.1          Real Property Apportionments.

 

(a)           Prorations.  The following items for the Facilities shall be apportioned at the Closing as of 11:59 p.m. on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date:

 

(i)                                               Intentionally omitted;

 

(ii)                                            real estate taxes and assessments other than special assessments, based on the rates and assessed valuation applicable in the fiscal year for which assessed;

 

(iii)                                         municipal assessments and governmental license and permit fees;

 

(iv)                                        intentionally omitted; and

 

(v)                                           all other items of income and expense normally apportioned in sales of properties of the nature and type of each Facility.

 

If any of the foregoing cannot be apportioned at the Closing because of the unavailability of the amounts which are to be apportioned, such items shall be apportioned on the basis of a good faith estimate by the parties and reconciled as soon as practicable after the Closing Date but, in any event, no later than forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date.

 

(b)           Intentionally omitted.

 

(c)           Tax Refunds.  If any refunds of real property taxes or assessments, water rates and charges or sewer taxes and rents shall be made after the Closing Date, the same shall be held in trust by the applicable Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, and shall first be applied to the unreimbursed costs incurred in obtaining the same and the balance, if any, shall be paid to the applicable Seller (for the period prior to the Closing Date) and to Purchaser (for the period commencing with the Closing Date).

 

(d)           Insurance Policies.  No insurance policies of Sellers are to be transferred to Purchaser, and no apportionment of the premiums therefor shall be made.

 

(e)           Net Adjustments.  If a net amount is owed by Sellers to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 9.1, such amount shall be credited against the Purchase Price.  If a net amount is owed by Purchaser to Sellers pursuant to this Section 9.1, such amount shall be added to the Purchase Price.

 

9.2          Closing Costs.

 

(a)           Purchaser’s Closing Costs.  Purchaser shall pay the following costs in connection with the consummation of the Closing: (i) the premium charges for Purchaser’s title policies and all of the charges for any endorsements thereto and (ii) all other charges incurred by

 

13



 

Purchaser in connection with this Agreement (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of Purchaser’s attorneys and other consultants).

 

(b)           Sellers’ Closing Costs.  Sellers shall pay the following costs in connection with the consummation of the Closing: (i) all of the charges and transfer taxes for recording the deeds; (ii) all commissions owed to any broker in accordance with the terms of a separate agreement among the Sellers and such broker; and (iii) all other charges incurred by the Sellers in connection with this Agreement (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses for the Sellers’ attorneys and other consultants).

 

9.3          Survival.  Notwithstanding any term herein to the contrary, the covenants contained in this Article 9 shall survive closing for a period of one year following the Closing Date or such shorter period as may be specified herein and each party’s obligation to pay any applicable closing costs in accordance with Section 9.2 shall survive any earlier termination of this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE 10
DAMAGE TO OR CONDEMNATION OF PROPERTY

 

10.1        Casualty.  If, prior to the Closing, all or any material part of the Facilities (taken as a whole) is destroyed or materially damaged by fire or other casualty, Sellers shall promptly notify Purchaser of such fact.  In such event, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement (in whole but not in part) by giving notice thereof to Sellers not later than ten (10) days after receiving Sellers’ notice (and, if necessary, the Closing Date shall be extended until the second Business Day after the expiration of such ten-day period).  If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, the Deposit shall be paid to Purchaser, whereupon, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect and no party shall have any rights or obligations hereunder except for the Surviving Obligations.  If less than a material part of the Facilities (taken as a whole) shall be affected or if Purchaser shall not elect to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, there shall be no abatement of the Purchase Price and the applicable Sellers shall assign to Purchaser at the Closing all of such Sellers’ right, title and interest in and to the proceeds, if any, under such Sellers’ insurance policies covering such Property with respect to such damage or destruction and there shall be credited against the Purchase Price the amount of any applicable deductible. For the purposes hereof, “materially damaged” shall mean damage reasonably determined by Purchaser to be in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) to repair or restore.

 

10.2        Condemnation.  If, prior to the Closing, all or any material part of the Facilities (taken as a whole) is taken by eminent domain (or becomes the subject of a pending taking which has not yet been consummated), Sellers shall notify Purchaser of such fact promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof and Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement (in whole but not in part) by giving notice thereof to Sellers not later than ten (10) days after the giving of Sellers’ notice (and, if necessary, the Closing Date shall be extended until the second day after the expiration of such ten-day period).  If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, the Deposit shall be paid to Purchaser, whereupon, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect and no party shall have any rights or obligations hereunder except for the Surviving Obligations.  If less than a material part of the Facilities (taken as a

 

14



 

whole) shall be affected or if Purchaser shall not elect to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, the sale of the Facilities shall be consummated as herein provided without any adjustment to the Purchase Price (except to the extent of any condemnation award received by Sellers prior to the Closing) and the applicable Sellers shall assign to Purchaser at the Closing all of such Sellers’ right, title and interest in and to all awards, if any, for the taking, and Purchaser shall be entitled to receive and keep all awards for the taking of such Facilities or portion thereof. For the purposes of this Section 10.1, the taking shall be deemed to be material if it (a) affects more than the equivalent of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) in value, as reasonably determined by Purchaser, (b) causes a material deprivation of access to or from a Property,  or (c) involves a taking of parking areas located on a Property such that subsequent to such taking, the Property will be in violation of municipal zoning codes and ordinances.

 

ARTICLE 11
INDEMNIFICATION AND DEFAULT

 

11.1        Sellers’ Indemnification.  Sellers will jointly and severally defend, indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless against and in respect of any and all liability, damage, loss, cost, and expenses arising out of or otherwise in respect of: (a) any misrepresentation, breach of warranty, or non-fulfillment of any agreement or covenant made by Sellers in this Agreement; (b) the ownership of the Facilities prior to the Closing Date; (c) any and all actions, suits, proceedings, audits, judgments, costs, and legal and other expenses incident to any of the foregoing or to the enforcement of this Section 11.1.

 

11.2        Purchaser’s Indemnification.  Purchaser will defend, indemnify and hold Sellers harmless against and in respect of any and all liability, damage, loss, cost, and expenses arising out of or otherwise in respect of:  (a) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty contained in this Agreement; (b) the ownership and/or operation of the Facilities on and after the Closing Date; (c) any and all actions, suits, proceedings, audits, judgments, costs, and legal and other expenses incident to any of the foregoing or to the enforcement of this Section 11.2.

 

11.3        Default by Sellers.  If, on or prior to the Closing, any Seller shall have made any representation or warranty herein which shall be untrue or misleading in any material respect, or if any Seller shall fail to perform any of the material covenants and agreements contained herein to be performed by such Seller, Purchaser may, as its sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity, elect to either (a) terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit (following which no party shall have any rights or obligations hereunder except for the Surviving Obligations) or (b) pursue a suit for specific performance.

 

11.4        Default by Purchaser.  If, on or prior to Closing, Purchaser shall have made any representation or warranty herein which shall be untrue or misleading in any material respect, or if Purchaser shall fail to perform any of the covenants and agreements contained herein to be performed by it, Sellers, as their sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity, may terminate this Agreement and retain the Deposit, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty.  The parties agree that in the event of such a default, it would be extremely difficult or impossible to determine Sellers’ actual damages and that the liquidated damages amount is a reasonable estimate thereof.  Following any such termination, no party shall have any rights or obligations hereunder except for the Surviving Obligations.

 

15



 

ARTICLE 12
MISCELLANEOUS

 

12.1        Single Transaction.  The transaction contemplated by this Agreement is a single purchase and sale transaction with respect to all of the Properties.  Under no circumstances shall Sellers have any obligation to sell less than all of the Properties to Purchaser, and under no circumstances shall Purchaser have an obligation to purchase less than all of the Properties from Sellers.  Any termination of this Agreement shall operate to terminate this Agreement as to all of the Properties simultaneously.

 

12.2        Brokers.  Except as disclosed on Schedule 12.2 hereto neither party has dealt with any broker, finder or like agent in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.  Each party shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other parties from and against any loss, liability or expense, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of any claim or claims for commissions or other compensation for bringing about this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby made by any other broker, finder or like agent, if such claim or claims are based in whole or in part on dealings with the indemnifying party.

 

12.3        Notices.

 

(a)           Form of Notices.  Any and all notices, demands, consents, approvals, offers, elections and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement may be given by the attorneys of the parties and shall be deemed adequately given if in writing.  All such notices shall be delivered either in hand, by facsimile with written confirmation of transmission, or by mail or Federal Express or similar expedited commercial carrier, addressed to the recipient of the notice, postpaid and registered or certified with return receipt requested (if by mail), or with all freight charges prepaid (if by Federal Express or similar carrier).

 

(b)           Timing of Notices.  All notices shall be deemed to have been given for all purposes of this Agreement upon the date of receipt or refusal, except that whenever under this Agreement a notice is either received on a day which is not a Business Day or is required to be delivered on or before a specific day which is not a Business Day, the day of receipt or required delivery shall automatically be extended to the next Business Day.  For purposes of any notice given by facsimile, the date of receipt shall be the date of transmission (as confirmed by electronic confirmation of transmission generated by the sender’s machine).

 

(c)           Notice Addresses.  All such notices shall be addressed,

(e)           Notices to Sellers.  Any notice given to or received by a Seller shall be effective as if such notice was given to or received by all Sellers.

 

12.4        WaiversAny waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement, or of the breach of any covenant, representation or warranty contained herein, in any one instance, shall not operate as or be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any other breach of such term, condition, covenant, representation or warranty or any other term, condition, covenant, representation or warranty, nor shall any failure at any time or times to enforce or require performance of any provision hereof operate as a waiver of or affect in any manner such party’s right at a later time to enforce or require performance of such provision or any other provision hereof.

 

12.5        Amendments.  This Agreement may not be amended, nor shall any waiver, change, modification, consent or discharge be effected, except by an instrument in writing

 

17

12.6        Assignment; Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement and all rights and obligations hereunder shall not be assignable by Purchaser without the prior written consent of Sellers, except that Purchaser may assign this Agreement to one or more entities owned and/or controlled, directly or indirectly, by Purchaser upon not less that three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to Sellers.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns.  This Agreement is not intended and shall not be construed to create any rights in or to be enforceable in any part by any other persons or entities.

 

12.7        Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or deemed to be, or shall in fact be, invalid, inoperative or unenforceable as applied to any particular case in any jurisdiction or jurisdictions, or in all jurisdictions or in all cases, because of the conflict of any provision with any constitution or statute or rule of public policy or for any other reason, such circumstance shall not have the effect of rendering the provision or provisions in question invalid, inoperative or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction or in any other case or circumstance or of rendering any other provision or provisions herein contained invalid, inoperative or unenforceable to the extent that such other provisions are not themselves actually in conflict with such constitution, statute or rule of public policy, but this Agreement shall be reformed and construed in any such jurisdiction or case as if such invalid, inoperative or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein and such provision reformed so that it would be valid, operative and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted in such jurisdiction or in such case.

 

12.8        Counterparts, Etc.  This Agreement may be executed in one (1) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  Any such counterparts or signatures may be delivered by facsimile or e-mail (in .pdf format), and any counterparts or signatures so delivered shall be deemed an original counterpart or signature for all purposes related to this Agreement.

 

12.9        Integration.  This Agreement and the documents referenced herein constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede and take the place of any other instruments purporting to be an agreement of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof.

 

12.10      Attorneys’ Fees.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if any lawsuit or arbitration or other legal proceeding arises in connection with the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement, the prevailing party therein shall be entitled to receive from the other party the prevailing party’s costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith, in preparation therefor and on appeal therefrom, which amounts shall be included in any judgment therein.

 

12.11      Section and Other Headings.  The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

 

18



 

12.12      No Presumption Against Drafter.  This Agreement has been extensively negotiated between Sellers and Purchaser and none of the provisions set forth herein shall be construed narrowly against either party on the account of the fact that such party (or its attorney) drafted such provision.

 

12.13      Time of Essence.  Time shall be of the essence with respect to the performance of each and every covenant and obligation, and the giving of all notices, under this Agreement.

 

12.14      Performance on Business Days.  In the event the date on which performance or payment of any obligation of a party required hereunder is other than a Business Day, the time for payment or performance shall automatically be extended to the first Business Day following such date.

 

12.15      Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Arkansas.

 

12.16      Intentionally omitted.

12.18      Like-Kind/1031 Exchange.  In connection with Sellers’ sale of the Properties to Purchaser,  Sellers may, without Purchaser’s consent, structure the transfer of all or any of the Properties as an exchange (rather than a purchase and sale) of or for all or a portion of the Properties for other property or properties of like kind with value not less than the value of the Properties or any Property in one or more concurrent or delayed tax-deferred exchanges which shall qualify under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Regulations promulgated thereunder (“IRC”) (a “1031 Exchange”).  Purchaser and Sellers hereby agree that the Closing Date may be extended by Sellers for up to ninety (90) days to permit Sellers to identify one or more replacement properties and the parties to consummate the transfer of the Properties as a qualifying 1031 Exchange.  Sellers expressly reserve the right to assign their right, but not their obligations, under this Agreement to a Qualified Intermediary as provided for in IRC.  The parties hereto agree to cooperate with each other in effectuating a 1031 Exchange for the benefit of Seller following the execution of this Agreement.
