THIS PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the 31st day of October, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), by and among each party listed as a “PropCo Seller” on Schedule I attached hereto and made a part hereof, having a principal address at c/o New Senior Investment Group Inc., 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10105 (individually or collectively, as the context requires, jointly and severally “PropCo Seller”) and each party listed as an “OpCo Seller” on Schedule I attached hereto and made a part hereof, having a principal address at c/o New Senior Investment Group Inc., 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10105 (individually or collectively, as the context requires, jointly and severally “OpCo Seller” and, together with PropCo Seller, individually or collectively as the context may require, jointly and severally, “Seller”) and each party listed as a “Purchaser” on Schedule I, having a principal address at One Seagate, Suite 1500, Toledo, Ohio 43604 (individually or collectively, as the context requires, “Purchaser”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound, Seller and Purchaser hereby agree as follows:

RECITALS

Each PropCo Seller owns the real property identified as being owned by such PropCo Seller on Schedule I (or, in the case of Glen Riddle, owns a portion of the Glen Riddle property and leases a portion of that certain real property that constitutes the premises under the Glen Riddle Lease (such leased property, the “Glen Riddle Leased Property”)), as each such property is more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof, together with the Improvements (as hereinafter defined) and certain related property located thereon, which properties are identified by their addresses and the names by which they are commonly known as set forth on Schedule I, and each OpCo Seller owns certain personal property associated with the Property listed next to its name on Schedule I, and PropCo Seller desires to sell, and Purchaser desires to purchase, such real properties, together with the Improvements and certain related property, and each OpCo Seller desires to sell, and Purchaser desires to purchase, such personal property, in all cases, on the terms and conditions set forth below.

ARTICLE I

DEFINED TERMS

Unless otherwise defined herein, any term with its initial letter capitalized in this Agreement shall have the meaning set forth in Annex 1 attached hereto and made a part hereof.

ARTICLE II

PURCHASE AND SALE & PURCHASE PRICE

2.1    Purchase and Sale. Seller agrees to sell and convey a fee interest in the Properties (or, in the case of the Glen Riddle Leased Property, a leasehold interest therein) to Purchaser and Purchaser agrees to purchase the Properties from Seller, all in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller shall not sell, assign, transfer, convey or deliver to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall not

 

1


purchase, and the Properties shall not include any of the Sellers’ right, title and interest in (i) any Property Contracts other than the Assigned Contracts and (ii) subject to Section 7.5, the Excluded Assets. Subject to Section 7.5, for the avoidance of doubt, Seller and Purchaser hereby agree that all right, title and interest in and to the Seller Marks form a part of the Excluded Assets and that, from and after the Closing, Purchaser shall not have any right, title or interest in or to the Seller Marks, and Purchaser further shall not use the Seller Marks for any purpose.

2.2    Purchase Price. The total purchase price (“Purchase Price”) for the Properties shall be an amount equal to $385,000,000.00, subject to prorations and/or adjustments required by this Agreement, payable by Purchaser as follows:

2.2.1    On or before 5:00 p.m. (Eastern) on the date that is three (3) Business Days after the Effective Date, TIME OF THE ESSENCE, and as a condition to the effectiveness and enforceability of this Agreement, Purchaser shall deliver to Fidelity National Title Insurance Company (Attn: Suzanne A. Rippel) (“Escrow Agent” or “Title Company”) a deposit in the amount of $7,700,000.00 (together with income and interest accrued thereon and as the same may be increased in accordance with Section 5.1, the “Deposit”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wire instructions attached hereto as Exhibit K. Following the Initial Closing, the Deposit for all purposes hereunder shall be deemed to be only such portion of the Deposit that remains in the Deposit Escrow Account pursuant to Section 5.1.3.

2.2.2    The Purchase Price less the Deposit, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 5.4, shall be paid to and received by Escrow Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds no later than 2:00 p.m. (Eastern) on the Closing Date.

2.2.3    If an Excluded Property is to be removed from the Property in accordance with Section 4.8.3, 5.1.2 or 11.5, the Purchase Price shall be reduced as follows: (i) first, a percentage, expressed as a fraction, shall be determined, the numerator of which shall be the Single Property Appraised Value for such Excluded Property and the denominator of which shall be the Total Appraised Value (such percentage, the “EP Percentage”), (iii) second, the percentage reduction in the Purchase Price shall be determined by subtracting the EP Percentage from 1 (such amount, the “Purchase Price Reduction Percentage”) and (iii) last, the Purchase Price shall be multiplied by the Purchase Price Reduction Percentage and such amount shall be the reduced Purchase Price.

2.2.4    All currency amounts set forth in this Agreement are expressed in United States Dollars.

2.2.5    The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall survive the Closing.

ARTICLE III

ESCROW PROVISIONS

3.1    Escrow Agent as Stakeholder Only. The parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that the Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the parties, and the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to either of the parties for any act or omission on its part, other than for its fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of its obligations under this Agreement. Seller and

 

2


Purchaser shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against all out-of-pocket costs and expenses and claims, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with the performance of the Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder.

3.2    Escrow Agent Acknowledgement. The Escrow Agent has acknowledged its agreement to these provisions by signing this Agreement in the place indicated following the signatures of Seller and Purchaser.

3.3    Deposit Escrow Account.

3.3.1    The Escrow Agent shall hold the Deposit in escrow in an interest-bearing bank account reasonably approved by Seller and Purchaser (the “Deposit Escrow Account”). All investments of the Deposit shall be subject to the approval of Purchaser.

3.3.2    The Escrow Agent shall hold the Deposit in escrow in the Deposit Escrow Account until the Closing or sooner termination of this Agreement and shall hold or apply such proceeds in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.3.2. Seller and Purchaser understand that no interest is earned on the Deposit during the time it takes to transfer into and out of the Deposit Escrow Account. At the Closing, the Deposit shall be paid by the Escrow Agent to, or at the direction of, Seller. If the Closing does not occur and either party makes a written demand upon the Escrow Agent for payment of the Deposit, the Escrow Agent shall, within twenty-four (24) hours thereof give written notice to the other party of such demand. If the Escrow Agent does not receive a written objection within five (5) Business Days after the giving of such notice, the Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make such payment. If the Escrow Agent does receive such written objection within such five (5) Business Day period or if for any other reason the Escrow Agent in good faith shall elect not to make such payment, the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold the Deposit until otherwise directed by joint written instructions from the parties to this Agreement or a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. However, the Escrow Agent shall have the right at any time to deposit the Deposit with the clerk of the court of New York County. The Escrow Agent shall give written notice of such deposit to Seller and Purchaser. Upon such deposit the Escrow Agent shall be relieved and discharged of all further obligations and responsibilities hereunder.

ARTICLE IV

4.2    Property Documents. Prior to the Effective Date, with respect to each Property, Purchaser has obtained and delivered a copy to Seller of (i) a standard form commitment or preliminary title report (each a “Title Commitment”), together with copies of all instruments identified as exceptions therein (together with each Title Commitment, collectively, the “Title Documents”) and (ii) a survey (collectively, the “Surveys”).

4.3    Permitted Exceptions. The Deed delivered with respect to each Property (or Assignment of Lease for the Glen Riddle Leased Property) pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject only to the following, all of which shall be deemed “Permitted Exceptions” with respect to such Property:

4.3.1    Liens for current real estate taxes, personal property taxes and assessments which are not yet due and payable, and are subject to the prorations and adjustments pursuant to Section 5.4.4;

4.3.2    All Resident Agreements and all Commercial Leases existing as of the Closing Date;

4.3.3    Subject to Section 4.8 and Section 7.1.10, any laws, rules, regulations, statutes, ordinances, orders or other legal requirements affecting the Properties, including, without limitation, all Environmental Laws, all zoning, land use and building laws, rules, regulations, statutes, ordinances, orders or other legal requirements, including landmark designations and all zoning variance and special exceptions;

4.3.4    The state of facts disclosed on the Surveys;

4.3.5    All covenants, restrictions and utility company rights, easements and franchises relating to electricity, water, steam, gas, telephone, sewer or other service or the right to use and maintain poles, lines, wires, cables, pipes, boxes and other fixtures and facilities in, over, under and upon the Properties; provided, that such covenants, restrictions and utility company rights, easements, franchises or other rights do not materially and adversely affect any Property or its use and/or operations;

4.3.6    All other matters which, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, are expressly deemed to be Permitted Exceptions;

4.3.7    Such other exceptions as the Title Company shall commit to insure over without any additional cost or liability to Purchaser, whether such insurance is made available in consideration of payment, bonding, indemnity of Seller or otherwise, or made pursuant to an endorsement to the title policy;

 

4


4.3.8    Any matters, defects in or objections to title to the Properties, or title exceptions or encumbrances, arising by, through, under, on behalf of or due to the fault of Purchaser, its Affiliates or any Purchaser Party acting on behalf of Purchaser; provided, that such Affiliates are Affiliates at the time such matter, defect, objection or title exception or encumbrance occurs or arises;

4.3.9    Any exceptions set forth on Schedule B to each Title Commitment delivered prior to the Effective Date, other than all Must Cure Exceptions and all Mortgages; and

4.3.10    Liens of supplemental and/or escaped taxes assessed pursuant to Chapter 3.5 commencing with Section 75 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code.

4.4    Existing Security Documents/Monetary Liens/Voluntary Encumbrances.

4.4.1    It is understood and agreed that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) any deed of trust and/or mortgage recorded against any Property or any portion thereof which secures any Indebtedness for borrowed money and/or any related security agreement or instrument which evidences or secures Indebtedness of Seller (each, a “Mortgage”) shall not be deemed a Permitted Exception, and shall be paid off, satisfied, discharged and/or cured at or prior to Closing, (ii) without being subject to the Removal Cap Amount, Seller shall Remove all Must Cure Exceptions prior to the Closing Date and (iii) Purchaser shall have no obligation to object to Mortgages or Must Cure Exceptions in order to cause Seller to Remove the same. At Closing, Seller will use the proceeds from this Agreement to pay off each Mortgage to the extent necessary to release any lien or encumbrance on any Property.

4.4.2    Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Seller shall remove all Monetary Liens recorded against the Properties and Purchaser shall have no obligation to object to any Monetary Lien as a New Exception in order to cause Seller to Remove the same; provided, that, if the aggregate liability (or potential liability) with respect to all Monetary Liens recorded against all of the Properties shall exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (the “Removal Cap Amount”, and any such matters giving rise to such excess amounts, the “Removal Cap Matters”), Seller shall have no obligation under this Agreement to expend more than the Removal Cap Amount to cure Monetary Liens and may refuse to Remove the Removal Cap Matters (but shall be obligated to Remove whatever matter or matters may be removed by payment of up to the Removal Cap Amount). If Seller refuses or fails to Remove any Removal Cap Matters at or prior to the Closing (any such Removal Cap Matter that is not so Removed prior to Closing, an “Outstanding Removal Cap Matter”), Purchaser may, as its exclusive remedy elect by delivery of written notice to Seller to either (i) terminate this Agreement, in which case the Escrow Agent shall promptly return the Deposit to Purchaser, this Agreement shall terminate automatically and be of no further force or effect and the parties hereto shall have no further obligation to the other except for those obligations specifically surviving the termination of this Agreement, or (ii) accept all Outstanding Removal Cap Matters (other than such matters which can be removed by payment of amounts up to the Removal Cap Amount) as Permitted Exceptions and proceed with the Transactions without a reduction in the Purchase Price, in which case all Outstanding Removal Cap Matters shall be and become the sole obligation of Purchaser following the Closing. The failure of Purchaser to make any such election within the earlier to occur of ten (10) Business Days after receipt of written notice of Seller’s election not to Remove all Outstanding Removal Cap Matters and the Closing Date, shall be deemed an election by Purchaser under clause (i) above.

 

5


4.4.3    Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Seller shall not cause or suffer any Voluntary Encumbrances recorded against the Properties and, in the event that Seller causes or suffers any such Voluntary Encumbrances, Purchaser shall have no obligation to object to any Voluntary Encumbrances as a New Exception in order to cause Seller to Remove the same. “Voluntary Encumbrances” shall mean any title exceptions affecting the Property that are created by Seller through the execution by Seller of one or more instruments creating or granting such title exceptions, or otherwise created at the direction of Seller, after the Effective Date; provided, however, that the term “Voluntary Encumbrances” as used in this Agreement shall not include any Permitted Exceptions.

4.5    Employees. Purchaser shall have the right (but not the obligation) to cause an Affiliate thereof to contact, interview, screen (including, without limitation, a drug test, a credit check, a background check and a functional capacity test), and offer employment to, the Property Employees during the period between the date hereof and Closing, and Seller shall, and shall cause the Managers to, reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in connection with the same. Purchaser shall notify Seller of any such Property Employee to whom Purchaser will not offer employment. From and after Closing and prior to the first (1st) anniversary of the date of the Closing, Seller and their respective Affiliates shall not, and Seller shall direct each Manager not to (to the extent of Seller’s rights to so direct the Manager pursuant to the terms of the applicable Management Agreement), directly or indirectly, solicit or attempt to solicit or induce any Property Employee hired by Purchaser or any other employee of Purchaser or its Affiliates to work, perform services, and/or act as an independent contractor and/or a consultant for Seller and/or any Affiliate of Seller. To the extent applicable, Seller shall, and shall cause any Affiliate thereof which employs the Property Employees, to comply with the WARN Act under federal and state laws; and if applicable, Seller shall provide Purchaser with a copy of all WARN Act notices to the Property Employees prior to the expiration the Closing. Seller hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser and any Affiliate thereof against any claims, damages, losses, demands, payments, suits, actions, judgments and expenses (including attorney’s fees, expenses and costs) arising out of or relating to the failure to comply with the WARN Act to the extent arising prior to the Closing. At Closing, Purchaser shall, or shall cause its manager to, offer employment, on an “at will” basis, to a sufficient number of Property Employees so as to avoid triggering liability under the WARN Act. This Section 4.5 shall survive the Closing indefinitely.

4.6    Subsequently Disclosed Exceptions. At any time after the Effective Date but prior to the Closing, Purchaser may order any updates, continuations of, and supplements to, any of the Title Commitments or Surveys (each, a “Title Update”). If any Title Update discloses any additional item(s) (i) not caused by or the result of any act or omission or fault of Purchaser, Purchaser’s Affiliate(s) or any Purchaser Party, and (ii) which are not disclosed on any version of, or update to, any of the Title Commitments, Surveys or Title Updates previously delivered to Purchaser (each, a “New Exception”), Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing of Purchaser’s approval or disapproval of such New Exception not later than the date that is the earlier of (i) ten (10) Business Days after the date of its receipt of such Title Update and (ii) the Closing Date (the “New Exception Review Period Expiration Date”). If Purchaser fails to deliver written notice of its approval or disapproval of any New Exception prior to the New Exception Review Period

 

6


Expiration Date (but in any event prior to Closing), such New Exception shall be deemed to be a Permitted Exception. If Purchaser disapproves of the New Exception prior to the New Exception Review Period Expiration Date, Seller may, in Seller’s sole discretion, notify Purchaser as to whether it is willing to attempt to Remove the New Exception (and Seller shall have the right to adjourn the Closing Date for a period of up to five (5) days in order to make such election). If Seller elects to attempt to Remove the New Exception, Seller shall be entitled to any reasonable adjournments of the Closing Date to Remove the New Exception, not to exceed thirty (30) days in the aggregate. If Seller fails to deliver a written notice of its election to Purchaser prior to the date that is five (5) days after receipt of Seller’s written notice of disapproval of any New Exception, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to Remove the New Exception. If Seller does not elect to Remove any New Exception, is deemed to have made such an election, or Seller fails to Remove any New Exception prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser may, as its exclusive remedy elect to either (i) terminate this Agreement in its entirety and receive a return of the Deposit from the Escrow Agent, and neither party shall have any further obligation or liability to the other except with respect to those provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement, or (ii) waive its objection to the New Exception and proceed with the Transactions without a reduction in the Purchase Price, in which event Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the New Exception and such New Exception shall be a Permitted Exception.

Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Document, Purchaser agrees that Seller shall not be responsible or liable to Purchaser for any defects, errors or omissions in the Seller’s Deliveries, the Third-Party Reports or on account of any conditions affecting the Properties.

6.2.3    Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that, except as expressly set forth in the Seller’s Representations or otherwise in this Agreement or any Ancillary Document, Seller makes no representations or warranties with respect to the Properties (or any portion thereof), the

 

21


operation, management and/or leasing of the Properties or concerning any statements made or information delivered or made available to Purchaser (whether by Seller, any of its Affiliates or any agents, representatives, consultants or advisors of any of the foregoing, or any other Person) with respect to the Properties (or any portion thereof) or the business of Seller or the Transactions, whether included as part of the Seller’s Deliveries or any other information disclosed to the Purchaser or otherwise, and all such representations and warranties are hereby expressly excluded and disclaimed.

If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, all tangible copies of the Seller’s Deliveries and Third-Party Reports that are in Purchaser’s possession, shall within ten (10) Business Days after written request from Seller therefor, returned to Seller or, at Purchaser’s option in its sole discretion, destroyed by Purchaser, in each case except as required by Law or Purchaser’s bona fide document retention policies or for digital copies that are not practicable to destroy.

Purchaser agrees that the departure or removal, prior to Closing, of any guests, occupants or Residents shall not be the basis for, nor shall it give rise to, any claim on the part of Purchaser, nor shall it affect the obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement in any manner whatsoever; and Purchaser shall close title and accept delivery of the Deeds with or without such tenants, guests, occupants or Residents in possession and without any allowance or reduction in the Purchase Price under this Agreement; provided, that Purchaser’s consent shall be required for any voluntary removal by Seller that would have a Material Adverse Effect.

The phrase “to Purchaser’s Knowledge,” or words of similar import in this Agreement, shall be deemed to refer exclusively to matters within the actual knowledge of John Getchey, Kathleen A.

Additionally, Purchaser shall have the right to request such additional information from Seller to the extent such

 

25


information is required by any applicable licensing authority in connection with the review and, if applicable, approval of the Licensing Applications and Notices and Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser to transfer all Operating Licenses held by Seller to Purchaser.

To the extent any notices to a Governemental Authority are required by applicable Laws to be made by Seller or any Manager, Seller shall, and shall direct each Manager to, comply with such legal requirements. Provided Seller and each Manager have delivered to Purchaser at least three (3) Business Days following the Effective Date (the “Seller Delivery Date”) all documents and information requested by Purchaser for the Licensing Applications and Notices, Purchaser shall submit each required Licensing Application and Notice within fifteen (15) Business Days following the Seller Delivery Date (provided that, with respect to any Facility located in the State of Idaho, Purchaser shall submit each required Licensing Application and Notice within five (5) Business Days following the Seller Delivery Date), and, thereafter, Purchaser shall diligently pursue the approval of each Licensing Application and Notice by the applicable licensing authority.

7.1.10.3    Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to renew any Operating License and any other health care related certifications used in connection with the Facilities that have expired or will expire prior to Closing in accordance with applicable Law. In the event that any such Operating License or other health care related certification has expired, and as a result thereof, a Licensing Application and Notice cannot be submitted in accordance with Section 7.1.10.1 (a “Seller Expired License”), then Purchaser’s obligation to submit such

 

26


Licensing Application and Notice shall be tolled until the later of (i) the date on which Purchaser is obligated to submit such Licensing Application and Notice pursuant to Section 7.1.10.1 and (ii) three (3) Business Days following delivery of a valid Operating License and/or other certificate with respect to such facility.

7.1.10.4    In the event that a Seller Interim Sublease is executed at Closing, Seller agrees that Seller shall, so long as such Seller Interim Sublease remains in full force and effect, enforce Seller’s rights pursuant to the applicable Management Agreement for such Property to cause the applicable Manager to assist Purchaser and Seller, and Purchaser’s replacement manager, to transition the Facility to management by Purchaser or Purchaser’s replacement manager, which may include, to the extent contemplated pursuant to the applicable Management Agreement, causing Manager to enter into an interim management agreement with Purchaser or its applicable replacement manager; provided that, in no event shall Seller be obligated to commence or pursue litigation in connection with enforcing such rights. This Section 7.1.10.4 shall survive Closing with respect to each Seller Interim Sublease for so long as such Seller Interim Sublease remains in full force and effect.

7.1.10.5    Purchaser agrees that, from and after the Effective Date and continuing following the Closing, Seller shall have the right to terminate any Management Agreement (including any Management Agreement assigned to Purchaser or its designee) by delivery of written notice to the Manager (a “Seller Termination Notice”), and, if such termination right is exercised following the Closing (i) Purchaser shall, upon request from Seller, confirm such termination by delivery of a written notice to Manager within two (2) Business Days following delivery of the Seller Termination Notice, (ii) Seller shall, as a condition to its right to terminate a Management Agreement following the Closing, deliver prior written notice of Seller’s intent to terminate to Purchaser no less than sixty (60) days prior to the delivery of the Seller Termination Notice, and (iii) Seller shall not be permitted to deliver a Seller Termination Notice if a License Application and Notice remains pending with the applicable licensing authority, and the termination of the Management Agreement would result in a material impairment to Purchaser’s or its designee’s ability to receive an Operating License; provided that, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that a reasonable delay and the submission of additional information to the licensing authority as a result of such termination shall not be deemed a material impairment. In addition, following the Closing, Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Purchaser to minimize any disruption to the process of obtaining approval for an Operating License arising as a result of the delivery of a Seller Termination Notice. Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser from and against any termination fee owed by Purchaser pursuant to any Management Agreement terminated prior to or following Closing pursuant to this Section 7.1.10.5. This Section 7.1.10.5 shall survive Closing.

7.1.11    Seller shall not proceed with any capital improvements not listed on Schedule 5.4.9 that involve, or would reasonably be expected to involve, costs and expenses in an amount individually or in the aggregate equal to or greater than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), without the written consent of Purchaser in each instance, not to be unreasonably withheld.

7.2    Tax Reduction Proceedings. Prior to Closing, Seller may file and/or prosecute an application for the reduction of the assessed valuation of the Properties or any portion thereof for real estate taxes or a refund of property taxes previously paid (a “Tax Certiorari Proceeding”) to

 

27


the applicable Governmental Authority for the fiscal year prior to or including the Closing Date. As of Closing, with respect to any Tax Certiorari Proceeding for the fiscal year in which the Closing Date occurs, Purchaser shall assume the same and have the right to file, prosecute, withdraw, settle or otherwise compromise any such Tax Certiorari Proceedings, subject to Seller’s reasonable approval. After Closing, Seller shall: (a) have the right to withdraw, settle or otherwise compromise Tax Certiorari Proceedings affecting real estate taxes assessed against any Property for any fiscal period prior to the fiscal year in which the Closing shall occur; provided, that Seller shall not be permitted to settle or compromise on any Tax Certiorari Proceedings to the extent that such settlement or compromise would result in an increase in property Taxes of the applicable Property following Closing; and (b) have no rights to file, prosecute, withdraw, settle or otherwise compromise Tax Certiorari Proceedings affecting real estate taxes assessed against any Property except as set forth in clause (a) above. At all times following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall have the sole right to file, prosecute to withdraw, settle or otherwise compromise such Tax Certiorari Proceedings for any fiscal period following the fiscal year in which the Closing shall occur.

7.3    Termination of Affiliate Agreements. Effective as of or prior to the Closing, Seller shall terminate each of the Affiliate Agreements, at Seller’s sole cost and expense.

7.4    Termination of Management Agreements. Effective as of or prior to the Closing, Seller shall terminate each of the Management Agreements, at Seller’s sole cost and expense.

7.6    State and Local Requirements of Transfer. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser, at Purchaser’s cost and expense with respect to any reasonable and reasonably documented out-of-pocket costs of Seller (except for any costs and expenses Seller is otherwise responsible for under this Agreement, which shall remain the responsibility of Seller), in connection with any state or local requirements (including without limitation, applications and inspections) of any state or local governmental authority in a location in which any Property is located regarding the transfer of the ownership of the Properties (and any licenses or permits, including, without limitation certificates of occupancy) from Seller to Purchaser.

7.7    Property Appraisals.

7.7.1    Within sixty (60) days following the Effective Date, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller copies of (i) with respect to any Property that is (a) intended to be subject to financing at Closing and (b) not a CC Affected Property or otherwise subject to removal under this Agreement, an appraisal approved by the applicable lender thereto (a “Lender Appraisal”), and (ii) with respect to any other Property, an appraisal for such Property performed by a Qualified Appraiser selected by Purchaser (a “Purchaser Appraisal”). Seller shall have a period of ten (10) Business Days thereafter, by written notice to Purchaser, to object to any Purchaser Appraisal and provide an alternative appraisal of the applicable Property from a Qualified Appraiser selected by Seller (the “Seller Appraisal”). If Seller does not timely object to a Purchaser Appraisal or so objects

 

28


but does not timely provide the Seller Appraisal, then Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to provide a Seller Appraisal. If Purchaser is obligated to deliver a Purchaser Appraisal and fails to deliver a Purchaser Appraisal within sixty (60) days following the Effective Date, then Seller may produce a Seller Appraisal in accordance with the foregoing and in such event, the Agreed Appraisal (as defined below) shall be deemed to equal the Seller Appraisal. A “Qualified Appraiser” shall mean a nationally-recognized appraiser that is not affiliated with either Seller or Purchaser, and is in the business of providing appraisals of real property assets of similar size and nature as the applicable Property. “Agreed Appraisal” means (i) if Seller elects to complete a Seller Appraisal in accordance with the foregoing, then either the Purchaser Appraisal or Seller Appraisal as determined in accordance with Section 7.7.2, (ii) if Seller elects not to complete, or has deemed to elect not to complete, a Seller Appraisal in accordance with the foregoing, then the Purchaser Appraisal, (iii) if Purchaser fails to deliver a Purchaser Appraisal in accordance with the foregoing, then the Seller Appraisal or (iv) such other appraisal as expressly agreed by Purchaser and Seller.

7.7.2    If Seller elects to complete a Seller Appraisal in accordance with Section 7.7.1, then Purchaser and Seller shall work in good faith to mutually agree on the value of such Property within the above-referenced (10) Business Day period after such objection. If Purchaser and Seller mutually agree on the value of such Property within such period, then such value shall constitute the Agreed Appraisal of such Property pursuant to Section 7.7.1. If Purchaser and Seller have not mutually agreed on the value of such Property within the ten (10) Business Day period after such objection, then the appraiser that provided the Purchaser Appraisal for the applicable Property and the appraiser that provided the Seller Appraisal for such Property shall, within ten (10) days after the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period, mutually select a Qualified Appraiser. If a Qualified Appraiser is not appointed within such ten (10) days period, then either Seller or Purchaser may apply to the American Arbitration Association to select a Qualified Appraiser. If the American Arbitration Association does not select a Qualified Appraiser within ten (10) days after request or such application or such organization no longer exists, then either Seller or Purchaser may apply to the Supreme Court of the State of New York and request that it select a Qualified Appraiser. Within ten (10) days after the selection of a Qualified Appraiser, such Qualified Appraiser shall, by written notice to Purchaser and Seller, select either the Purchaser Appraisal of the applicable Property or the Seller Appraisal of the applicable Property as the appraisal he or she believes more accurately reflects the value of the Property; provided that, such Qualified Appraiser may not modify such appraisals or independently propose an appraisal. The determination by the Qualified Appraiser shall be binding on all parties and non-appealable and thereafter the appraisal selected by such Qualified Appraiser shall constitute the Agreed Appraisal of the applicable Property pursuant to Section 7.7.1.

7.8    Tax Clearance Certificates. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain tax clearance certificates for each Seller from the applicable Governmental Authority in each applicable state in which a Property is located prior to Closing. In addition to Seller’s obligations with respect to the State of Pennsylvania pursuant to Section 12.3.6, in the event that such applicable Governmental Authority notifies Seller prior to Closing that bulk sales taxes or other Taxes that would be confirmed in a tax clearance certificate are due from Seller, then Seller shall, from and after Closing, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser from and against any and all liability and related expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs), arising under the applicable Laws by reason of the failure of Seller to pay any bulk sales taxes or other

 

29

Purchaser and Seller will make available to each other and each other’s counsel and accountants, without charge, all of their and their Affiliates’ books and records relating or responsive to the Third Party Claim, and each party (at its own expense) will render to the other party such assistance as may be reasonably required in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by the other party in connection therewith. The Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person shall render, and shall cause their respective employees to render, to each other, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Person (with costs and expenses being subject to the Seller Liability Cap) such other assistance and cooperation as may reasonably be required to ensure the proper and adequate defense of such claim or demand.

9.5.4    If the Indemnifying Person has the right to and does elect to defend any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall have the right to enter into any settlement of a Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnified Person provided that (i) no amount is

 

36


payable by such Indemnified Person in connection with such settlement, (ii) such settlement does not involve any injunctive or other equitable relief or the contractual equivalent thereof binding upon such Indemnified Person, and (iii) such settlement expressly and unconditionally releases such Indemnified Person from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such claim, with prejudice; provided, further, that no settlement by the Indemnifying Person of a Third Party Claim shall limit or reduce the right of the Indemnified Person to indemnity hereunder for all Damages they may incur arising out of or resulting from the Third Party Claim to the extent such Indemnified Person is otherwise entitled to be indemnified pursuant to this Article IX.

9.5.5    In calculating amounts payable to an Indemnified Person, such amounts shall be determined net of (i) payments recovered by such Indemnified Person under any insurance policy with respect to such Damages, or (ii) any net prior recovery by such Indemnified Person from any third party with respect to such Damages. An Indemnified Person shall have no obligation to pursue any Person with respect to such Damages prior to exercising any remedy under this Agreement.

9.6    Tax Treatment. For all tax purposes, the parties agree to treat indemnity payments made pursuant to this Agreement as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

9.7    Exclusive Remedy. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that, following the Closing Date, the rights granted to the parties in the indemnification provisions of this Article IX shall be the exclusive rights and remedy of Purchaser (and all other Purchaser Indemnified Parties) and Seller (and all other Seller Indemnified Parties) under this Agreement and with respect to the Transactions.

9.8    Manner of Payment. Any indemnification payments made by Seller or Purchaser pursuant to this Article IX shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts designated by the other party, within five (5) days after the final determination thereof.

9.9    Brokerage. Seller and Purchaser each represents and warrants to the other that it has not dealt with or utilized the services of any real estate broker, investment banker, sales person or finder in connection with this Agreement. Each party agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and, if requested in the sole and absolute discretion of the indemnitee, defend (with counsel approved by the indemnitee) the other party from and against any breach of the terms of this Section 9.9 and any Damages relating to brokerage commissions and finder’s fees arising from or attributable to the acts or omissions of the indemnifying party.

Each of Purchaser and Seller shall waive, and agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court, any claim that either Purchaser or Seller is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that Purchaser’s or Seller’s property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court, and further agrees to waive, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, the benefit of any defense that would hinder, fetter or delay the levy, execution or collection of any amount to which Seller, Purchaser or their successors or permitted assigns are entitled pursuant to the final judgment of any court having jurisdiction.

Guarantor is an indirect owner of each Seller, will derive substantial benefits from the transactions described in this Agreement and acknowledges that the execution of this Section 13.8 is a material inducement and condition to the Purchaser’s execution of the Agreement. Guarantor represents and warrants that it has the legal right, power, authority and capacity to execute this Agreement, that such execution does not violate any other agreement or instrument by which Guarantor is bound, and that this Agreement is binding and enforceable against Guarantor, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).
