In the event any of the Sellers is advised by Lender that it wishes Purchaser to deal directly with Lender, the Sellers (for themselves and on behalf of their respective Affiliates) hereby provide all required consents to such action. Each of Purchaser, the Sellers shall (and the Sellers shall cause their respective Affiliates to) promptly supply Lender with all information and documents reasonably requested by Lender that are necessary to submit, evaluate and process the Loan Assumption Request, and the Sellers shall (and the Sellers shall cause their respective Affiliates to) reasonably cooperate with Purchaser and Lender in the processing of the Loan Assumption Request. In addition, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, Seller shall prepare and deliver all commercially reasonable and customary legal opinions relating to its authority and authorization, and shall execute and deliver to the appropriate parties all commercially reasonable and customary documents and instruments required of the Sellers and their respective Affiliates by Lenders in connection with the Loan Assumption (the “Seller Loan Assumption Documents”), and the foregoing shall be included within the meaning of “Seller Closing Documents” that Seller is required to deliver under this Agreement.

11




(d)    At the Closing, Seller shall pay and discharge in full any and all Monetary Encumbrances, other than the Bon Air Mortgage, and Seller shall pay all penalties, fees and charges in connection therewith.

If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement by notice given to Seller, the Deposit shall be immediately returned to Purchaser, and upon such return, except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement and all rights and obligations of the respective parties hereunder shall be null and void. The failure of Purchaser to object to any matter reflected in any Title Commitment or Survey shall be deemed a waiver by Purchaser of any right to object to any matter so shown; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.10, Seller shall be unconditionally obligated to pay any outstanding indebtedness evidenced by, and cause the release of any, lien, mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt, security agreement, judgment, tax lien or other encumbrance affecting the Assets and capable of being released through or as a result of the payment of money (collectively, “Monetary Encumbrances”), other than the Bon Air Mortgage, irrespective of whether Purchaser objects to same unless and only to the extent that such obligation is waived in writing by Purchaser.

Purchaser agrees to cause the TRS Entity to maintain all such Books and Records for the requisite period prescribed by Applicable Law. In addition, if and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Purchaser agrees to cause the TRS Entity to allow Seller, or Seller’s agents or representatives upon reasonable advance notice and at Seller’s sole cost and expense, to examine from time to time such Books and Records relating to the period of Seller’s operation of the Facility and

42




the Business, to promptly cooperate with Seller, Seller’s agents or representatives in their examination or review of such Books and Records, and to permit Seller to obtain copies thereof, upon request.
5.4    Cooperation. Following Closing, Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller and provide reasonable access to the Books and Records in Purchaser’s possession which are required by Seller to respond to any litigation, investigation, inquiry, government audit and/or third-party payor audit, upon reasonable advance notice unless prohibited by Applicable Law.

Each party shall furnish promptly to each other all information that is not otherwise available to the other party and that such party may reasonably request in connection with any such filing. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in the performance by Purchaser of its obligations under this Agreement in obtaining all Governmental Approvals. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller will assist Purchaser and the TRS Entity in responding to questions raised by, attending meetings with, and assisting with the preparation of documents required by Governmental Authorities in order to obtain all Governmental Approvals.
(b)    Without limiting the generality of Section 5.5(a), with respect to any revenues or reimbursement received by the Facility from or as a result of Third Party Payor Programs, if any, Purchaser shall obtain all necessary consents or approvals (which at the Closing may be oral or written commitments to issue such consents or approvals) of such assignments, each of which shall be upon such terms and conditions acceptable to Purchaser in its sole discretion; provided, that, the TRS Entity will not

43




assume any of Seller’s obligations in respect of Program Reimbursements, if any, arising with respect to periods occurring on or before the Effective Time.
(c)    The Governmental Approvals under Section 5.5(a) and the actions (and all necessary consents or approvals) under Section 5.5(b) shall be referred to collectively as “Regulatory Consents”.
(d)    It shall be an express condition precedent to the obligation of each of parties hereto to consummate the transactions under this Agreement that the Regulatory Consents are obtained. In the event that, on or before 5:00 pm on the date that is one hundred fifty (150) days following the Date of Execution (the “Outside Date”) the TRS Entity has not obtained the Regulatory Consents, then either Seller or Purchaser may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other parties and Escrow Agent (the “Regulatory Contingency Termination Notice”). In the event that either Seller or Purchaser delivers a Regulatory Contingency Termination Notice pursuant to this Section 5.5, this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of the delivery of the Regulatory Contingency Termination Notice in accordance with Article XII below.
5.6    Further Documentation. Purchaser agrees that following the Closing Date, upon request by Seller, Purchaser will do, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered, all such further acts, documents and assurances as may be reasonably required, without enlarging or extending any obligations or liability of Purchaser under this Agreement in any manner and without (except to the extent required by this Agreement) requiring the expenditure of any funds by Purchaser which are not reimbursed by Seller, to fully consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
5.7    Changes in Representations and Warranties. Throughout the period from the Date of Execution through and including the Closing Date, Purchaser shall give Seller prompt written notice of (a) any representation and warranty made by Purchaser in this Agreement which Purchaser hereafter learns was inaccurate or incorrect when originally made and (b) any event, change or occurrence which will or reasonably may be anticipated to prevent Purchaser from making the same representations and warranties as set forth herein on and as of the Closing Date.
ARTICLE VI.
OTHER COVENANTS
6.1    Residents Rents; Accounts Receivable; Move-In Deposits and Move-In Fees.
(a)    Prior to the Closing, except as provided in this Section 6.1(a), Seller shall bill the Residents in the ordinary course of business for amounts due under Residency Agreements and the TRS Entity shall assume responsibility for the billing of such amounts on and after the Effective Time. The parties acknowledge that private-pay Residents are billed monthly by Seller in advance on or about the last day of the preceding calendar month. Seller shall bill private-pay Residents for the calendar month of the Closing, but not for the calendar month after the Closing. The TRS Entity shall bill Residents for those private pay items that are billed in arrears (including, if applicable, for items such as haircuts, guest meals, therapy services and other similar items) attributable to the calendar month of the Closing; provided, however Seller shall bill residents for such items if the Closing occurs on the last day of a calendar month. Regardless of which party bills the Residents or Third Party Payor Programs, the portion of all resident

44




rents and service fees allocable to the time period before the Effective Time shall be allocated to Seller and the portion thereof allocable to the time period on and after the Effective Time shall be allocable to Purchaser and will be accounted for as part of the reconciliation process set forth in Section 10.5.
(b)    Delinquent rents and service fees for the period on or before the Effective Time will remain the property of Seller. Seller shall retain all rights in and title to all pre-closing accounts receivable except to the extent any portion relates in part to dates on and after the Effective Time. With respect to the collection of delinquent rents and service fees for the period before the Closing Date, as to (i) former Residents who are not Residents on the Closing Date, Seller may conduct whatever collection actions it deems commercially necessary and reasonable to recover such past due amounts, and (ii) Residents who are Residents on the Closing Date, Seller may not conduct any collection activity except with respect to delinquent accounts which remain past due more than sixty (60) days following the Closing Date. Seller shall notify Purchaser prior to engaging any third party to pursue collection activities and, upon Purchaser’s request, shall cooperate in good faith with Purchaser in pursuing such actions. For the period from the Date of Execution until the Closing Date, Seller may continue its past practices, including eviction practices, with respect to the collection of delinquent rents and service fees of Residents. Anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement notwithstanding, Seller shall retain all collections relating to pre-Closing rents and services rendered.
(c)    All rents and service fees received by either party after the Effective Time from any Resident which does not specify the service dates for which such payment relates will be applied in the following order of priority: (i) first, to amounts owed by that Resident for the calendar month of Closing prorated accordingly between the parties as applicable; (ii) second, (A) to Seller for the delinquent amounts owed by that Resident attributable to periods before the Effective Time but only with respect to undesignated payments received during the period expiring sixty (60) days after the Closing Date and (B) after the sixtieth (60th) day following the Closing Date, to amounts owed by that Resident due and payable to Purchaser; and (iii) third, (A) to amounts owed by that Resident due and payable to Purchaser until the sixtieth (60th) day following the Closing Date and (B) after the sixtieth (60th) day following the Closing Date, to Seller for the delinquent amounts owed by that Resident attributable to the periods before the Effective Time. All payments received by either Purchaser or Seller from Residents which specify a date of service for such Residents shall be credited to the party who rendered the services on the specified dates. In addition, as soon as reasonably practicable but in no event more than thirty (30) days after its receipt thereof, Purchaser shall remit to Seller any payments under Third Party Payor Programs received by Purchaser that apply to a pre-Closing account of the Resident for whom the payment is made in accordance with the dates of service indicated on the remittance, together with a copy of the remittance advice.
(d)    With respect to entrance fees, security deposits and move-in fees paid by any Resident of the Facility at any time prior to the Effective Time, including, without limitation, Residents as of the Closing Date as well as prior Residents of the Facility (such deposits and fees, collectively “Move-In Deposits”), Purchaser shall be entitled to a credit at the Closing for the portion of such Move-In Deposits that are refundable to any such Resident as of the Closing Date in accordance with the term of the applicable Residency Agreement.
(e)    If the Closing occurs at calendar month end, then Purchaser shall receive a credit at the Closing equal to 100% of the resident fees billed and collected by Seller in advance for the calendar month after the Closing occurs, subject to the reconciliation process set forth in Section 10.5.

45




(f)    If the Closing occurs other than at calendar month end, Purchaser shall receive a credit at the Closing equal to the following, subject to the reconciliation process set forth in Section 10.5:
(i)    For the calendar month in which the Closing occurs, a credit equal to Purchaser’s pro rata share of the amount of the total fees billed and collected by Seller in advance for such calendar month; and
(ii)    For the calendar month after the Closing occurs, to the extent that Seller has billed and collected for that calendar month in advance under Section 6.1(a), a credit equal to 100% of the resident fees so billed and collected.
(g)    Each party agrees that they will provide each other with any information reasonably required to enable either party to complete its billing to Residents and Third Party Payor Programs.
6.2    Third-Party Payor Program Reimbursements.
(a)    Seller shall bill any applicable third party or Governmental Authority for any applicable Third Party Payor Program reimbursements for the calendar month prior to the Closing. For the calendar month in which the Closing occurs, Seller shall bill any applicable third party or Governmental Authority for all periods prior to the Closing and the TRS Entity shall bill any applicable third party or Governmental Authority for all periods on or after the Effective Time.
(b)    Seller is entitled to payments of receivables on account of items or services provided on dates of service before the Effective Time, even if such receivables are collected after the Closing, and the TRS Entity is entitled to payments of receivables on account of items or services provided on dates of service from and after the Effective Time. The TRS Entity and Seller shall each deliver periodically (and in any event, no less frequently than monthly) to the other any such payments actually received by such party and due to the other party as contemplated hereby.
6.3    Transfer Matters. If, prior to or within one (1) year following the Closing, any of the Governmental Authorities conducts a survey or inspection of the Facility (a “Transfer Survey”), including any such Transfer Survey which is a standard survey, a complaint survey or a survey prompted by the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, then Seller agrees to be responsible for all citations and deficiencies attributable to (i) pre-Closing activities that violate any Applicable Law (and which violation did not first occur after the Closing Date) and (ii) pre-Closing conditions, and Seller shall correct or pay, or both, for such citations and deficiencies to the extent applicable. Seller’s responsibility shall include correcting all non-compliances and citations, paying any and all fines, providing a plan of correction (prior to the Closing) and providing and bearing the expense for all consultants, staff, materials, supplies and equipment necessary to complete the plan of correction and achieve full compliance. To the extent that such corrections cannot be completed prior to the Closing, Seller shall be required to place in escrow at the Closing an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the reasonable estimated cost of the corrections required.
6.4    Pre-Closing Access. During the two (2) week period prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall permit the employees and representatives of the TRS Entity to be present at the Facility at scheduled times to, as applicable and reasonably desired by the TRS Entity, commence installation of time clocks,

46




computers, billing, accounting and security systems, and do such other things as may be reasonably necessary to effect an orderly transition of the Facility.
6.5    Workers’ Compensation. Seller shall be responsible for and pay any and all workers’ compensation and other similar claims asserted by or with respect to any Employees or former employees of Seller (or any of them) in respect of any injury or other compensable event or occupational illness or disease that occurred or is attributable to any event, state of facts or condition that existed or occurred prior to or on the Closing Date. Purchaser is responsible for and shall pay any and all workers’ compensation and other similar claims asserted by or with respect to any Employees in respect of any injury or other compensable event or occupational illness or disease that occurred or is attributable to any event, state of facts or condition that first existed or occurred following the Closing Date.
6.6    Seller’s Financial Books and Records. Seller agrees to maintain all of Seller’s Financial Books and Records for the requisite period prescribed by Applicable Law, but in no event less than seven (7) years. In addition, if and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Seller agrees to allow Purchaser, or its agents or representatives, upon reasonable advance notice and at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, to examine from time to time such Seller’s Financial Books and Records, to promptly cooperate with Purchaser, its agents or representatives in their examination or review of such Seller’s Financial Books and Records, and to permit Purchaser to obtain copies thereof, upon request.
6.7    Approvals and Consents. Prior to the Closing Date, and without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, Seller and Purchaser will take all corporate and other action and exercise their respective commercially reasonable efforts to fulfill their respective obligations hereunder. In addition, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain in writing, at its cost and expense and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser as promptly as possible, all Required Consents (other than the Regulatory Consents which under Section 5.5 are the responsibility of the TRS Entity) and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with Seller’s efforts to obtain such consents.
6.8    Discharged Resident Records. For a period of ten (10) years after the Effective Time, Seller agrees to allow Purchaser, or its agents or representatives, in connection with a valid business purpose and upon reasonable advance notice and at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, to examine from time to time the Discharged Resident Records, to promptly cooperate with Purchaser, its agents or representatives in their examination or review of such Discharged Resident Records, and to permit Purchaser to obtain copies thereof, upon request.
6.9    Management Agreement. The Seller shall cause the EIK Manager to enter into a management agreement with the TRS Entity, as manager (the “Manager”), for the management of the Facility, the form of which shall be agreed to by the parties prior to the expiration of the Diligence Period. The management of such Facility by the Manager shall commence, and the management agreement for such Facility shall be executed and become effective, not less than one (1) day prior to the Closing Date (the “Management Agreement Deadline”).

48




Seller and its shareholders, members, managers, directors, officers, employees, and agents (collectively, “Seller Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against, and agree promptly to defend Seller Indemnified Parties from and reimburse Seller Indemnified Parties for, any and all Losses (collectively, “Seller Indemnified Losses”) which Seller Indemnified Parties may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of or in connection with:
(a)    Any material breach or inaccuracy of any of the representations or warranties made by Purchaser in or pursuant to this Agreement or in any instrument, certificate or affidavit delivered by Purchaser to Seller at the Closing or in any Exhibit, Schedule, certificate, or other executed document furnished or to be furnished to Seller hereunder;
(b)    Any failure by Purchaser to carry out, perform, satisfy and discharge in any material respect any of its covenants, agreements, undertakings, liabilities or obligations under this Agreement or in any instrument, certificate or affidavit delivered by Purchaser to Seller at the Closing;
(c)    Any and all claims, including any suit, action, or other proceeding brought by applicable Governmental Authorities or quasi-Governmental Authorities against Seller arising from the ownership and operation of the Facility by Purchaser or a Purchaser designee, or as to any overpayments made to Purchaser or a Purchaser designee by third parties including, without limitation, over payments made with respect to Medicare and other Third Party Payor Programs, if applicable; and

7.3    Notification of Claims and Indemnification Procedures.
(a)    A party entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 or any other provision of this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”) shall notify the party liable for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of any third party claim which the Indemnified Party has determined gives rise or will likely give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement, within thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such claim and has made such determination; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice to the Indemnifying Party in a timely fashion shall not result in the loss of the Indemnified Party’s rights with respect thereto except to the extent the Indemnified Party is prejudiced by the delay. Subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to defend in good faith third party claims as hereinafter provided, the

49




Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations under this Article VII within thirty (30) days after the receipt of written notice thereof from the Indemnified Party, it being agreed that the Indemnifying Party need not satisfy such obligations during any period in which the Indemnifying Party is defending in good faith the applicable third party claim in the manner described herein below.
(b)    If the Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party of any claim pursuant to Section 7.3 (a), and if such claim relates to a claim asserted by a third party against the Indemnified Party which the Indemnifying Party acknowledges is a claim for which it must indemnify or hold harmless the Indemnified Party under Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to either (i) pay such claim or (ii) employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to defend any such claim asserted against the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party in writing, as promptly as possible (but in any case reasonably in advance of the due date for the answer or response to a claim) after the date of the notice of claim given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party under Section 7.3 (a) of its election to defend in good faith any such third party claim. So long as the Indemnifying Party is defending in good faith any such claim asserted by a third party against the Indemnified Party and is able to demonstrate to the Indemnified Party its financial wherewithal to fully perform its indemnification obligation in the event such contested claim is resolved adversely to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise such claim. The Indemnified Party shall make available to such counsel all records and other materials in the Indemnified Party’s possession reasonably required by it for its use in contesting any third party claim. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party elects to defend any such claim, the Indemnified Party shall have no obligations to do so.
(c)    The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in any matter through counsel of its own choosing at its own expense (unless the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that there is a conflict of interest that prevents counsel for the Indemnifying Party from representing the Indemnified Party, in which case the Indemnifying Party will have the right to choose and fund other counsel to represent the Indemnified Party or to reimburse the Indemnified Party for the expenses of its counsel). After the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party of its intention to undertake to defend or settle any such third party claim, and for so long as the Indemnifying Party diligently pursues such defense and is able to demonstrate to the Indemnified Party its financial wherewithal to fully perform its indemnification obligation in the event such contested claim is resolved adversely to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any additional legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any defense or settlement of such third party claim, except to the extent such participation is requested by the Indemnifying Party, in which event the Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party for reasonable legal expenses and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such requested participation.
(d)    An Indemnifying Party may not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any claim against an Indemnified Party or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim and does not contain any equitable order, judgment or term which in any manner affects, restrains or interferes with the business of the Indemnified Party or any of the Indemnified Party’s Affiliates.

50




(e)    If any amounts payable by an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Party is not paid when due, such unpaid amount shall bear interest at an interest rate equal to a margin of 2% plus the “Prime Rate” as published by the Wall Street Journal (Eastern edition) under its Money Rates column and specified as the base rate on corporate loans at large U.S. commercial banks or, if it no longer publishes such, the rate of interest announced from time to time by Well Fargo Bank as its prime rate, base rate or reference rate.
7.4    Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive for a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, and shall thereafter cease to be of any force and effect, except for (a) claims as to which notice has been given prior to such date and which are pending on such date, (b) claims based upon representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.8 or 2.28 or Seller’s indemnification obligations with respect to Program Reimbursements, if any, which shall survive without limitation, and (c) claims based upon representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.5, 2.9 or 2.24, which shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (each, a “Claims Period”). If any act, omission, disclosure or failure to disclose shall form the basis for a claim for breach of more than one representation or warranty, and such claims have different periods of survival hereunder, then the termination of the survival period of one claim shall not affect a party’s right to make a claim based on the breach of the representation or warranty still surviving. All covenants of the parties contained in this Agreement which have a definitive term associated with such covenant shall survive the Closing Date for such term. All other covenants of the parties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until fully performed.
7.5    Intentionally deleted.
7.6    Net Damages. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the amount of any Losses incurred or suffered by an Indemnified Party shall be calculated after giving effect to any proceeds or recoveries actually received by the Indemnified Party from any other third party, including any proceeds from insurance policies covering the event or claim giving rise to the indemnification obligation, net of the reasonable costs incurred by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in obtaining any such proceeds or recoveries.
7.7    Liability Limitations.
(a)    The maximum aggregate liability of Seller to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties with respect to claims for Purchaser Indemnified Losses under Section 7.1(a)(ii) will be limited to an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price (the “Cap”); provided, however, the Cap shall not apply to any Purchaser Indemnified Losses incurred or suffered by any of them and arising out of or resulting from (i) any breach of any Exempt Representations and Warranties or (ii) claims based upon intentional behavior.
(b)    The maximum aggregate liability of the Purchaser to the Seller Indemnified Parties with respect to claims under Section 7.2(a) will be limited to the Cap; provided, however, the Cap shall not apply to any Seller Indemnified Losses incurred or suffered by any of them and arising out of or resulting from claims based upon intentional behavior.

51




(c)    Seller will not have any liability to any Purchaser Indemnified Parties under Section 7.1(a)(ii) until the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall have incurred on a cumulative basis Losses exceeding Six Hundred Forty Thousand ($640,000.00) (the “Basket”), at which point Seller shall be liable for all Losses incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, including the amount of the Basket; provided, however, the Basket shall not apply to any Losses incurred or suffered by any of them arising out of or resulting from (i) any breach of any Exempt Representations and Warranties or (ii) claims based upon intentional behavior.
(d)    Purchaser will not have any liability to the Seller Indemnified Parties under Section 7.2(a) until the Seller Indemnified Parties shall have incurred on a cumulative basis Losses exceeding the Basket, at which point Purchaser shall be liable for all Losses incurred by the Seller Indemnified Parties, including the amount of the Basket; provided, however, the Basket shall not apply to any Losses incurred or suffered by any of them arising out of or resulting from claims based upon intentional behavior.
(e)    The representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.8 (with respect to personal property owned by Seller), 2.23 (Employee and Labor Relations), and 2.24 (Employee Benefit Plans) are hereinafter referred to as the “Exempt Representations and Warranties”. Seller will not have any liability to any Purchaser Indemnified Parties for the Exempt Representations and Warranties until the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall have incurred on a cumulative basis Losses exceeding One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) (the “Exempt Basket”), at which point Seller shall be liable for all Losses incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, including the amount of the Exempt Basket.

56




of Seller’s financial and custodial obligations with respect thereto, it being the intent and purpose of this provision that, at the Closing, Seller will be relieved of all fiduciary and custodial obligation with respect to such Resident Funds and that Purchaser or its designee will assume all such obligations and be directly accountable to the Residents with respect to all Resident Funds actually received by Purchaser. At the Closing, Seller shall provide Purchaser with an accounting of all Resident Funds as of the Closing, subject to adjustment within fifteen (15) days following the Closing Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller will indemnify and hold Purchaser Indemnified Parties harmless from all liabilities, claims and demands in the event the amount of such Resident Funds, if any, refunded to an individual Resident does not represent the full amount due to the individual Resident as of the date of the Final Reconciliation.

If such amounts are not paid by Seller to Purchaser, or by Purchaser to Seller, as the case may be, within thirty (30) days after the post-closing re-proration, then the amount owed shall accrue interest thereafter at the rate of 1.5% per month; provided, however, that in no event will interest be charged in excess of the amount permitted by Applicable Law.
(b)    Prepaid Resident Fees. In accordance with Section 6.1, Purchaser shall receive a credit for all prepaid resident fees and Move-In Deposits, which amounts shall be subject to reconciliation pursuant to Section 10.5.
(c)    Other Prorations. Charges for water, fuel, gas, oil, heat, electricity and other utilities, operating charges and other prepaid amounts shall be prorated as of the Closing Date for the Facility to which they relate to the extent such accounts are transferred at Closing; provided, that, accounts for water, fuel, gas, oil, heat, electricity and other utilities to the greatest extent practicable shall not be transferred at Closing and each party shall cooperate with the other in order to facilitate a smooth transition through the termination of prior accounts and opening of new accounts effective as of the Effective Time. Any such prorated amounts will not be paid pursuant to the Closing Statement, but will instead be part of the post-closing reconciliation process described in Section 10.5.
(d)    Estimated Costs. All payables, including accounts payable for Inventory, utilities, payroll, services, supplies and materials, which accrue prior to the Effective Time shall be Seller’s responsibility and shall be subject to the reconciliation process described in Section 10.5. All payables, including accounts payable for Inventory, utilities, payroll, services, supplies and materials, which accrue after Effective Time shall be paid by Purchaser.

57




(e)    Closing Statement Accounting. All calculations and prorations under this Section 10.3 shall be made on the accrual basis of accounting.

(b)    At or before the Closing, the TRS Entity or Real Estate Purchaser shall pay (i) the title exam fees and the basic premium for the Title Policies, (ii) the cost of all title endorsements, (iii) the costs of preparing the Survey, (iv) the costs of any UCC searches, (v) any mortgage tax, (vi) any recording fees; (vii) any sales tax with respect to tangible personal property included within the Assets, and (viii) fifty percent (50%) of any escrow or similar closing charges of the Title Company.
10.5    Post-Closing Purchase Price Reconciliation. Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, representatives of Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller a proposed initial statement of reconciliation itemizing the following: (a) all costs, charges and expenses paid by one party with respect to the Facility (for operating costs, utilities, payroll, property taxes and the like which are for time periods occurring both before and after the Effective Time) that are properly allocable to the other party; (b) all Resident rents and service fees actually collected by either party with respect to the Facility, and (c) all other allocated and prorated amounts identified in Section 10.3 above (the “Initial Reconciliation”) and to whom such amounts should be properly allocated. The Initial Reconciliation shall include appropriate detail to identify the items being adjusted. A final reconciliation of all such expenses, costs, charges, service fees and rents shall be prepared by Purchaser and Seller within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date (the “Final Reconciliation”). Throughout the period leading up to the Initial Reconciliation and the Final Reconciliation, each party shall provide to the other party any information it may receive regarding the revenue and expense items described in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 10.5 and all other allocated and prorated amounts identified in Section 10.3 above. The Final Reconciliation shall appropriately reflect the net amount owed to Purchaser or to Seller as a result of such reconciliation, but without any proration or adjustment made as a result of Inventory, supplies, or other consumables on hand at the Closing (none of which shall be subject to proration or adjustment). After approval of the Final Reconciliation by both parties, the party determined to owe cash as a result of such Final Reconciliation shall promptly pay such cash to the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (y) in the event that after the approval of the Final Reconciliation any the TRS Entity receives any amount from any Third Party Payor Program relating to the provision of services during any period prior to the Effective Time, Purchaser shall cause such TRS Entity to pay such amount to Seller as provided in Sections 6.1 and 6.2; and (z) in the event that after the approval of the Final Reconciliation, Seller receives any amount from any Third Party Payor Program relating to the provision of services during any period after the Effective Time, Seller shall pay such amount to Purchaser as provided in Sections 6.1 and 6.2.

ARTICLE XI.
CONDEMNATION; DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
11.1    Condemnation.
(a)    In the event that any proceedings for the condemnation of the Real Property or any portion thereof are instituted by any Governmental Authority prior to Closing, then promptly upon obtaining knowledge of the institution of such proceedings, each party will notify the other party in writing (the “Condemnation Notice”) of the pendency of such proceedings. As used in this Section 11.1: (i) the terms “condemnation”, or “condemn” or “taking” means the exercise of, or intent to exercise, the power of eminent domain, expressed in writing, as well as the filing of any proceeding for such purpose, by a Condemning Authority, and shall include a voluntary sale by Seller to any such Condemning Authority, either under the threat of condemnation or while such proceedings are pending; and (ii) the term “Condemning Authority” means a Governmental Authority with the right or power of eminent domain. A condemnation shall be deemed to occur in point of time upon the actual physical taking of possession pursuant to the exercise of said power of eminent domain. For avoidance of doubt, a condemnation proceeding shall be deemed to commence upon receipt of written notice of the intent to condemn.
(b)    If proceedings for condemnation are instituted by any Condemning Authority with respect to any Real Property or any portion thereof prior to Closing (a “Condemned Property”), then at the election of Purchaser, which election shall be set forth in a written notice from Purchaser to Seller (the “Condemnation Election Notice”), either: (i) this Agreement shall terminate pursuant to this Section 11 upon delivery of the Condemnation Election Notice to Purchaser; (ii) the Condemned Property and all other Assets and Assumed Liabilities that are related to such Condemned Property (collectively, the “Condemned Property Elements”) shall be excluded from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1(c) and the Closing shall proceed with respect to the balance of the Assets and Assumed Liabilities; or (iii) this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, Purchaser shall not be entitled to an abatement of the Purchase Price by reason of such condemnation, and the proceeds of any award or payment in respect of such condemnation shall be paid over to, or assigned to, Purchaser, as applicable, at the Closing. The Condemnation Election Notice shall be delivered by Purchaser to Seller within twenty (20) Business Days following the receipt by Purchaser of the Condemnation Notice. If Purchaser fails to deliver the Condemnation Election Notice within that twenty (20) Business Day period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement in its entirety. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.1(b) shall be in accordance with Article XII below. Condemned Property shall also include the Facility to the extent any change of grade or closing of any such street or highway abutting or adjacent to such Facility would materially impair access to and from such Facility or otherwise materially interfere with its occupancy and use as a residential living care and assisted living care facility.
(c)    In the event that Purchaser makes the election under Section 11.1(b) (ii): (i) all of the respective covenants, obligations, representations and warranties of each of the parties in this Agreement with respect to the Condemned Property Elements shall be void ab initio and of no force or effect; (ii) the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the aggregate fair market values of the Condemned Property Elements; (iii) Seller and Purchaser shall mutually execute a written amendment to this Agreement, to be prepared by Purchaser and subject to the approval of Seller, in its sole and absolute discretion, to confirm and evidence the reduction in the Purchase Price and the application of the

59




provisions of this Section 11.1(c) with respect to the Condemned Property Elements; and (iv) all proceeds from such condemnation shall belong to the applicable Seller.
11.2    Damage or Destruction.
(a)    Subject to the provisions of Section 11.2(b): (x) all risk or loss concerning the Assets that occurs on or prior to the Closing shall be borne by Seller; and (y) all risk of loss concerning the Assets that occurs after the Closing shall be borne by Purchaser.
(b)    In the event that, on or prior to the Closing Date, the Assets are materially damaged in whole or in part by fire or other casualty (“materially” being defined as any damage that in the reasonable estimation of Seller would cost in excess of Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000.00) to repair), the following procedures shall apply:
(i)    Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing of the damage within two (2) Business Days following Seller becoming aware of such damage (the “Asset Damage Notice”).
(ii)    If the estimated costs of repairing damage to any Real Property (the “Damaged Property”) and any Assets located on the Damaged Property (collectively, the “Damaged Property Components”) is less than Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) (the “Damage Threshold Amount”), which estimated repair costs (the “Estimated Repair Costs”) shall be determined in accordance with Section 11.2(b)(iii), then the provisions of Section 11.2(c) of this Agreement shall exclusively apply. In the event that the Estimated Repair Costs to repair damage to the Damaged Property Components for any Damaged Property is equal to or greater than the Damage Threshold Amount, then the provisions of Section 11.2(d) of this Agreement shall exclusively apply.
(iii)    Within thirty (30) calendar days following the delivery of the Asset Damage Notice, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a written notice (the “Damage Estimate Notice”) that sets forth Seller’s reasonable estimate of Estimated Repair Costs to repair the damage to the Damage Property Components for the Damaged Property. In the event that Purchaser reasonably challenges Seller’s estimate of the Estimated Repair Costs in the Damage Estimate Notice, then Purchaser must deliver a written notice to Seller (the “Estimate Dispute Notice”) within thirty (30) days following Purchaser’s receipt of the Damage Estimate Notice that sets forth Purchaser’s estimate of the Estimated Repair Costs. If Purchaser fails to deliver the Estimated Dispute Notice to Seller within such thirty (30) day period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its right to challenge Seller’s estimate of the Estimated Repair Costs in the Damage Estimate Notice and Seller’s estimate shall be binding on the Parties. In the event that Purchaser delivers an Estimate Dispute Notice to Seller, then Seller shall deliver a written notice to Purchaser (the “Estimate Response Notice”), within three (3) Business Days following the delivery of the Estimate Dispute Notice, electing to either: (i) utilize Purchaser’s estimate of Estimated Repair Costs in the Estimate Dispute Notice, in which case Purchaser’s estimate shall be final and binding on the parties, or (ii) have the Estimated Repair Costs determined by a contractor licensed in the Commonwealth of Virginia reasonably acceptable to both Purchaser and Seller (the “Estimating Contractor”). Failure by Seller to deliver the Estimate Response Notice to Purchaser prior to the expiration of such three (3) Business Day period (the “Estimate Election Deadline”) shall be deemed to be Seller’s election to have the Estimated Repair Costs determined by an Estimating Contractor. In the event that Seller elects or is deemed to have elected to have the Estimated Repair Costs determined by an Estimating Contractor, the parties shall mutually attempt to agree on an Estimating Contractor within five (5) Business Days

60




following the Estimating Election Deadline. If the parties are unable to mutually agree on an Estimating Contractor, then prior to the expiration of the five (5) Business Day period, Seller and Purchaser shall each designate in writing to the other party a contractor licensed in the Commonwealth of Virginia and those two designated contractors shall select the Estimating Contractor. The determination by the Estimating Contractor of the amount of the Estimated Repair Costs shall be final and binding on the parties.
(c)    In the event that the Estimated Repair Costs to the Damaged Property Components for any Damaged Property, as determined pursuant to Section 11.2(b)(iii), is less than the Damage Threshold Amount, then Seller shall deliver a written notice to Purchaser (the “Minor Damage Election Notice”) in which Seller elects either to: (i) have Seller that owns the Damaged Property repair the damage to the Damaged Property Components prior to Closing (which shall be extended for a reasonable period of time to permit performance of such repairs) at no cost or expense to Purchaser; or (b) not repair such damage prior to Closing, in which case Purchaser shall be entitled to a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of the Estimated Repair Costs. If Seller fails to deliver the Minor Damage Election Notice to Purchaser within five (5) Business Days following the determination of Estimated Repair Costs pursuant to Section 11.2(b)(iii), Seller shall be deemed to have elected to have the applicable Seller repair the Damaged Property Components.
(d)    In the event that the Estimated Repair Costs to the Damaged Property Components for any Damaged Property, as determined pursuant to Section 11.2(b)(iii), is equal to or greater than the Damage Threshold Amount, at the election of Purchaser, which election shall be set forth in a written notice from Purchaser to Seller (the “Major Damage Election Notice”), this Agreement may be terminated pursuant to this Section upon delivery of the Major Damage Election Notice to Seller. The Major Damage Election Notice shall be delivered by Purchaser to Seller within five (5) Business Days following the final determination of the Estimated Repair Amount pursuant to Section 11.2(b)(iii). If Purchaser fails to deliver the Major Damage Election Notice within that five (5) Business Day period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement. If Purchaser elects to proceed with the Closing of the transactions contemplated under and pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, Seller shall (i) assign to Purchaser the right to collect any and all insurance proceeds in respect of such Damaged Property after the Closing, and (ii) provide Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount of equal to (a) any applicable deductible and (b) any insurance proceeds received as of the Closing Date. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.2 shall be in accordance with Article XII below.
ARTICLE XII.
TERMINATION; REMEDIES

(a)    By mutual consent of the parties (a “Consent Termination”) or by either party if the Management Agreement is not executed prior to the expiration of the Diligence Period (the “Management Agreement Termination”);
(b)    By Purchaser if the conditions to Closing set forth in Article VIII have not been satisfied by the Outside Date for reasons other than a breach of this Agreement by Purchaser (a “Purchaser Condition Termination”);

61




(c)    By Seller if the conditions to Closing set forth in Article IX have not been satisfied by the Outside Date for reasons other than a breach of this Agreement by Seller (a “Seller Condition Termination”);
(d)    By Purchaser as provided in Section 1.8;
(e)    By Purchaser or Seller upon delivery of Regulatory Contingency Termination Notice (a “Regulatory Contingency Termination”) pursuant to Section 5.5;
(f)    By Purchaser pursuant to Section 11.1 or 11.2 (a “Casualty/Condemnation Termination”);
(g)    By Purchaser, in the event of a material breach of this Agreement by Seller which breach is not cured after the notice and cure period provided for in Section 12.2 (a “Seller Breach Termination”); or
(h)    By Seller, in the event of a material breach of this Agreement by Purchaser which breach is not cured after the notice and cure period provided for in Section 12.2 (a “Purchaser Breach Termination”).
12.2    Opportunity to Cure. No party to this Agreement may claim termination pursuant to Section 12.1(g) or (h) or pursue any other remedy referred to in this Section 12 on account of such breach by the other party, without first giving the other party written notice of such breach and not less than thirty (30) days within which to cure such or breach. The Closing Date shall be postponed if necessary to afford such opportunity to cure. Seller may not claim termination pursuant to Section 12.1(d) or pursue any other remedy referred to in this Section 12 on account of Purchaser’s failure to deliver the Deposit to Escrow Agent, without first giving Purchaser written notice of such breach and not less than three (3) Business Days within which to cure such failure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser’s breach is the failure to close after all the conditions precedent described in Article VIII have been satisfied or waived as provided therein, Purchaser shall only be entitled to a period of ten (10) days following the receipt of written notice from Seller to cure such default.
12.3    Effect of Termination; Remedies.
(a)    In the event of a termination of this Agreement by Purchaser or Seller under this Section 12, (i) written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other parties and the Escrow Agent; (ii) this Agreement shall forthwith become void and of no further force or effect, other than with respect to Sections 2.28, 3.4, 4.9, 5.1, 12.3 and Article XIII of this Agreement which shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto, and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of any party hereto, except for breaches of the surviving provisions of this Agreement set forth immediately above; (iii) Purchaser shall have no right, option, title or interest to purchase the Assets, or any portion thereof; (iv) the Escrow Agreement shall be terminated; (v) if the event of termination is a Refundable Event, Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit to Purchaser, together with any interest earned thereon, if any, as set forth in this Agreement; (vi) if the event of termination is not a Refundable Event, Escrow Agent shall pay the Deposit to Seller, together with any interest earned thereon; and (vii) Purchaser shall withdraw its regulatory filings related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or made for the operation of the Facility and the Business after the Closing. The parties will promptly execute any documents and instructions reasonably requested by the other party or Escrow Agent relating

62




to the termination of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement or the delivery of the Deposit pursuant to this Agreement. “Refundable Events” are expressly limited to the following events: (a) a Consent Termination, (b) a Seller Breach Termination; (c) a Regulatory Contingency Termination; (d) a Purchaser Condition Termination; (e) a Seller Condition Termination, (f) a Casualty/Condemnation Termination, or (g) a Management Agreement Termination. If this Agreement is terminated for any of the above reasons, then a Refundable Event shall have occurred and the Deposit shall be promptly refunded to Purchaser.
(b)    If a Seller Breach Termination occurs, Purchaser shall be entitled to a return of the Deposit and to receive a sum equal to Purchaser’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, from Seller, jointly and severally, as liquidated damages, up to a maximum of One Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($150,000.00) (“Transaction Costs”). If, after a default by any Seller that is not cured within the applicable cure period, Purchaser has not terminated this Agreement, Purchaser may, as its sole remedy, (i) seek and shall be entitled to specific performance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement, and either (x) upon being awarded specific performance, pursue a claim for all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, in pursuing such claim; or (y) upon being denied specific performance or in the event specific performance is no longer available as a remedy to Purchaser, may elect to terminate pursuant to the immediate following clauses of this Section 12.3(b)(ii), or (ii) if Purchaser so elects, Purchaser in the alternative to such claim for specific performance and related costs and expenses, may terminate this Agreement, and be reimbursed the Deposit and Transaction Costs as set forth above in this Section 12.3(b). If the Closing does not occur, the remedies provided for in this Section shall be the exclusive remedy of Purchaser for a breach of this Agreement by Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitation of remedies provided for in this Section shall not apply to (i) any indemnity obligations of Seller under this Agreement, and (ii) any reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and interest awarded to Purchaser in any proceeding between Seller and Purchaser pursuant to or arising from this Agreement in which Purchaser is the prevailing party.
(c)    If a Purchaser Breach Termination occurs, Seller shall be entitled to receive the Deposit as liquidated damages and no party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in Section 12.3(a). If Closing does not occur, the remedies provided for in this Section shall be the exclusive remedy of Seller for a breach of this Agreement by Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitation of remedies provided for in this Section shall not apply to any reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and interest awarded to Seller in any proceeding between Seller and Purchaser pursuant to or arising out of or relating to this Agreement in which Seller is the prevailing party.
12.4    DAMAGES. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT SELLER WILL SUFFER DAMAGES IN THE EVENT OF THE BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT BY PURCHASER. SUCH DAMAGES WILL, HOWEVER, BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: (1) THE DAMAGES TO WHICH SELLER WOULD BE ENTITLED IN A COURT OF LAW MAY BE BASED IN PART ON THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ACTUAL VALUE OF THE ASSETS AND THE ASSUMED LIABILITIES AS OF THE CLOSING DATE AND THE PURCHASE PRICE FOR THE ASSETS AND THE ASSUMED LIABILITIES AS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT; (2) PROOF OF THE AMOUNT OF SUCH DAMAGES MAY BE BASED ON OPINIONS OF VALUE OF THE ASSETS AND THE ASSUMED LIABILITIES, WHICH CAN VARY IN SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS; AND (3) IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PREDICT AS OF THE DATE OF EXECUTION WHETHER THE VALUE OF THE ASSETS AND THE ASSUMED LIABILITIES WILL INCREASE OR DECREASE AS OF THE CLOSING DATE. PURCHASER AND SELLER

63




DESIRE TO LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES FOR WHICH PURCHASER MIGHT BE LIABLE SHOULD PURCHASER FAIL TO CONSUMMATE THE ACQUISITION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. PURCHASER AND SELLER WISH TO AVOID THE COSTS AND LENGTHY DELAYS WHICH WOULD RESULT IF SELLER FILED A LAWSUIT TO COLLECT ITS DAMAGES FOR SUCH A BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT. THEREFORE, IF THE CLOSING DOES NOT OCCUR ON THE REQUIRED CLOSING DATE DUE TO A BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT BY PURCHASER, THEN THE SUM EQUAL TO THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES SPECIFIED IN SECTION 12.3(c) SHALL BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES.
ARTICLE XIII.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such assignment by Purchaser pursuant to (a) or (b) shall not relieve Purchaser of any of its

65




obligations under this Agreement. Seller may not assign this Agreement without first obtaining Purchaser’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in Purchaser’s sole discretion. Upon an assignment by Purchaser of its rights under the Agreement in accordance with this Section 13.7, Purchaser’s Permitted Assignee(s) shall be deemed to be the Purchaser hereunder (as it relates to the subject of such assignment) and shall be the beneficiary of all of Seller’s warranties, representations and covenants in favor of Purchaser under this Agreement. At Seller’s request, Purchaser will cooperate with Seller to effectuate a tax-deferred exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations (including transferring the Property to tenants-in-common) (the “Exchange”), as long as the Closing will not be delayed and Purchaser will incur no materially greater expense or liability in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement than Purchaser would have incurred without the Exchange. Purchaser will execute all documents reasonably requested by Seller or any Qualified Intermediary (as defined by Internal Revenue Service Regulations, Rev. Proc. 2000-12, 2000-4 I.R.B. 387), to effectuate the Exchange (including Seller's assignment of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to the Qualified Intermediary), provided that such documents are in a form reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser.  Purchaser will take all further actions reasonably necessary to effectuate the Exchange.
13.8    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia as to, without limitation, matters of validity, construction, effect and performance but exclusive of its conflicts of laws provisions.
13.9    Business Day. If the date for the giving of notice or performance of any duty or obligation hereunder falls on a day that is not a Business Day, such date shall be automatically extended to the next Business Day. As used herein, a “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which United States federally chartered banks are authorized to be closed.
13.10    Counterparts; Electronic/Facsimile Signature. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Executed counterparts of this Agreement or any amendment hereto may be delivered by electronic or facsimile transmission.
13.11    Headings; Use of Terms; Section References. The Article and Section headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The singular shall include the plural and vice versa where the context shall so require. All references herein to “including” shall mean “including without limitation”. All Article, Section, Exhibit and Schedule references herein are to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules of this Agreement, unless otherwise specified.
13.12    Entire Agreement. This Agreement, which term as used throughout includes the Exhibits and Schedules hereto, embodies the entire agreement and understanding of the parties in respect of the subject matter contained herein. There are no restrictions, promises, representations, warranties, covenants or undertakings other than those expressly set forth or referred to herein. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings among the parties hereto with respect to such subject matters contained herein.
13.13    Warranty of Authority. Each of the parties warrants that the persons signing on its behalf have the right and power to enter into this Agreement and to bind them to the terms of this Agreement.

66




13.14    Schedules. Nothing in any Schedule or Exhibit shall be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made herein unless it describes the relevant facts in reasonable detail. The Schedules are arranged in sections and subsections corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections and subsections of the Agreement to which such Schedule relates, however, a disclosure in any schedule shall be deemed to adequately disclose such information for all purposes under this Agreement. Several Schedules and Exhibits designated in this Agreement are not attached to this Agreement as of the date of execution. Within ten (10) Business Days following the execution of this Agreement, Seller shall deliver to Purchase a complete set of all Schedules and Exhibits not so attached, together with Seller’s written authorization for Purchaser to affix same to its executed copy of this Agreement.
13.15    Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement.
13.16    Representation by Counsel. The parties acknowledge that they have been represented by independent legal counsel of their choosing throughout all of the negotiations that preceded the execution of this Agreement, and that each party has executed this Agreement with the consent and on the advice of such independent legal counsel. This Agreement is a negotiated document. As a result, any rule of construction providing for any ambiguity in the terms of this Agreement to be construed against the draftsperson of this Agreement shall be inapplicable to the interpretation of this Agreement.
13.17    Reliance. The rights of Purchaser to indemnification or any other remedies under this Agreement shall not be impacted or limited by any knowledge that Purchaser may have acquired, or could have acquired, whether before or after the Closing Date, by any investigation or diligence by Purchaser or otherwise. Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that, in executing and in carrying out the provisions of this Agreement, regardless of any investigation made (or not made) by or on behalf of Purchaser, and regardless of the results of any such investigation made by Purchaser, Purchaser is expressly relying upon the representations, warranties and covenants of Seller contained in this Agreement and any Seller Related Documents.
13.18    Publicity. No party shall issue any press release or public announcement relating to the subject matter of this Agreement without the prior written approval of the other parties, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that any party may make (without the consent of the other party) (a) such public disclosure it believes in good faith is required by Applicable Law (in which case, to the extent practicable, the disclosing party shall advise the other parties and provide them with a copy of the proposed disclosure prior to making the disclosure) and (b) disclosures in connection with satisfying or obtaining any Required Consent or disclosures of information already in the public domain.
13.19    Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, in the event any party to this Agreement commences any litigation, proceeding or other legal action in connection with or relating to this Agreement, any Seller Related Document or Purchaser Related Document or any matters described or contemplated herein or therein, the parties to this Agreement hereby (a) agree under all circumstances absolutely and irrevocably to institute any litigation, proceeding or other legal action in a court of competent jurisdiction located within the City of Richmond, Virginia, whether a state or federal court; (b) agree that in the event of any such litigation, proceeding or action, such parties will consent and submit to personal jurisdiction in any such court described in clause (a) and to service of process upon them in accordance with the rules and statutes governing service of process (it

67




being understood that nothing in this Section 13.19 shall be deemed to prevent any party from seeking to remove any action to a federal court in Richmond, Virginia); and (c) agree to waive to the fullest extent permitted by law any objection that they may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such litigation, proceeding or action in any such court or that any such litigation, proceeding or action was brought in an inconvenient forum. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION BROUGHT ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS HEREUNDER, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.
13.20    Knowledge. As used herein, “Knowledge” or similar capitalized terms mean the knowledge of Hunter D. Smith, Susan Eckert and Brent Russell. For purposes of this definition, such parties shall be deemed to have “knowledge” of a particular fact, circumstance or other matter if any of such parties is or at any time was actually aware of such fact, circumstance or other matter, or if any of such parties, after conducting an investigation reasonable under the circumstances, should have been aware of such fact, circumstance or other matter.
13.21    Cooperation with Audit. Seller acknowledges that Purchaser and its intended assignee(s) are or may be affiliated with a publicly registered company (“Registered Company”) promoted by Purchaser or its Affiliates. Seller acknowledges that it has been advised that Purchaser or such assignee(s) may be required to make certain filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC Filings”) that relate to the most recent three (3) pre-acquisition fiscal years (the “Audited Years”) and the current fiscal year through June 30, 2015 (the “stub period”) for the Facility. To assist the assignee(s) in preparing the SEC Filings, Seller covenants to provide said assignee(s) with the following during the Diligence Period and thereafter until the first anniversary of the Effective Time: (i) access to bank statements for the Audited Years and stub period; (ii) rent roll as of the end of the Audited Years and stub period; (iii) operating statements for the Audited Years and stub period; (iv) access to the general ledger for the Audited Years and stub period; (v) cash receipts schedule for each month in the Audited Years and stub period; (vi) access to invoices for expenses and capital improvements in the Audited Years and stub period; (vii) accounts payable ledger and accrued expense reconciliations; (viii) check register for the 3-months following the Audited Years and stub period; (ix) all leases and 5-year lease schedules; (x) copies of all insurance documentation for the Audited Years and stub period; (xi) copies of accounts receivable aging as of the end of the Audited Years and stub period along with an explanation for all accounts over 30 days past due as of the end of the Audited Years and stub period; (xii) signed representation letter in the form attached hereto as Schedule “13.21-A” (“Representation Letter”), and (xiii) to the extent necessary, a signed audit letter in the form attached hereto as Schedule “13.21-B”(“Audit Letter”). Seller also agrees to deliver a signed Representation Letter and signed Audit Letter to Purchaser within five (5) business days prior to Closing, and such delivery shall be a condition to Closing. The provisions of this Section shall survive Closing. Seller also agrees to reasonably cooperate with Purchaser to obtain a comfort letter, as may be requested by Purchaser.
