(ii)                                                     percentage rents and other unfixed charges payable under the Leases;

 

(iii)                                                  fuel, electric, water and other utility costs;

 

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

 

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

12



 

situations in the jurisdiction where the Property is located.

 

If any of the foregoing cannot be apportioned at the Closing because of the unavailability of the amounts which are to be apportioned, such items shall be apportioned on the basis of a good faith estimate by the parties and reconciled as soon as practicable after the Closing Date but, in any event, no later than one (1) year after the Closing Date.

 

(b)        If there are water, gas or electric meters located at the Property, the Seller shall obtain readings thereof to a date not more than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date and the unfixed water rates and charges, sewer taxes and rents and gas and electricity charges, if any, based thereon for the intervening time shall be apportioned on the basis of such last readings.  If such readings are not obtainable by the Closing Date, then, at the Closing, any water rates and charges, sewer taxes and rents and gas and electricity charges which are based on such readings shall be prorated based upon the per diem charges obtained by using the most recent period for which such readings shall then be available.  Upon the taking of subsequent actual readings, the apportionment of such charges shall be recalculated and the Seller or the Purchaser, as the case may be, promptly shall make a payment to the other based upon such recalculations.  The parties agree to make such final recalculations within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date.

 

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

 

(d)        If, on the Closing Date, the Property shall be or shall have been affected by any special or general assessment or assessments or real property taxes payable in a lump sum or which are or may become payable in installments of which the first installment is then a charge or lien and has become payable, the Seller shall pay

 

13



 

or cause to be paid at the Closing the unpaid installments of such assessments due and as of the Closing Date.

 

(e)         No insurance policies of the Seller are to be transferred to the Purchaser, and no apportionment of the premiums therefor shall be made.

 

(f)         At the Closing, the Seller shall transfer to the Purchaser the amount of all unapplied security deposits held pursuant to the terms of the Leases.

 

(g)         Brokerage commissions, tenant improvement expenses and other amounts payable by the Seller as landlord under Leases entered into by the Seller after the date hereof, or in connection with the renewal or extension of any existing Lease, shall be allocated between the Seller and the Purchaser at Closing based upon their respective periods of ownership (calculated on a straight-line basis over the initial term or extension or renewal period, as applicable), and the Purchaser shall reimburse the Seller at the Closing for all amounts so allocated to the Purchaser and paid by the Seller prior to the Closing.  The Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for all unpaid brokerage commissions, tenant improvement expenses and other amounts payable by the Seller as landlord under any such new Lease, renewal or extension that are allocated to the Seller in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

(h)        Amounts payable after the date hereof on account of capital expenditures under the 2011 capital expenditure budget previously prepared by the Seller (the “CapEx Budget”) (including, without limitation, budgeted items for “building improvements” and “development and redevelopment”), shall be allocated between the Seller and the Purchaser at Closing based upon their respective periods of ownership (on a straight line basis), and the Purchaser shall reimburse the Seller at the Closing for all amounts so allocated to the Purchaser and paid by the Seller prior to the Closing.  The Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for all unpaid amounts payable on account of capital expenditures under the CapEx Budget allocated to the Seller in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

(i)          If a net amount is owed by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 9.1, such amount shall be credited against the Purchase Price.  If a net amount is owed by the Purchaser to the Seller pursuant to this

 

14



 

Section 9.1, such amount shall be added to the Purchase Price paid to the Seller.

 

(j)          If, on the Closing Date, there are past due rents with respect to any Lease, amounts received by the Purchaser with respect to such Lease after the Closing Date shall be applied, first, to rents due or to become due during the calendar month in which the Closing occurs, and then, to all other rents due or past due in inverse order to the order in which they became due (i.e., first to arrearages most recently occurring, then to older arrearages).  Any such past due rents received by the Purchaser, once applied in the foregoing order of priority, to the extent applicable to the period prior to the Closing Date, shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Seller.  In no event shall the Seller have any right to take any action to collect any past due rents or other amounts following the Closing; provided, however, the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such past due rents and other amounts, except that the Purchaser shall have no obligation to institute any legal action or proceeding or otherwise enforce any of its rights and remedies under any Lease in connection with such commercially reasonable efforts.

 

The provisions of this Section 9.1 shall survive the Closing.

 

9.2           Closing Costs.

 

(a)         The Purchaser shall pay (i) the costs of closing and diligence in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, all premiums, charges and fees of the Title Company in connection with the title examination and insurance policies to be obtained by the Purchaser, including affirmative endorsements), (ii) fifty percent (50%) of all documentary, stamp, sales, intangible and other transfer taxes and fees incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (iii) fifty percent (50%) of all state, city, county, municipal and other governmental recording and filing fees and charges.

SECTION 10.       DAMAGE TO OR CONDEMNATION OF PROPERTY.

 

10.1         Casualty.  If, prior to the Closing, the Property is  materially destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty, the Seller shall promptly notify the Purchaser of such fact.  In such event, the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving notice to the Seller not later than ten (10) days after the giving of the Seller’s notice (and, if necessary, the Closing Date shall be extended until one day after the expiration of such ten-day period).  If the Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect and no party shall have any liability to the other hereunder.  If less than a material part of the Property shall be affected by fire or other casualty or if the Purchaser shall not elect to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, there shall be no abatement of the Purchase Price and the Seller shall assign to the Purchaser at the Closing the rights of the Seller to the proceeds, if any, under the Seller’s insurance policies covering the Property with respect to such damage or destruction and there shall be credited against the Purchase Price the amount of any deductible, any proceeds previously received by Seller on account thereof and any deficiency in proceeds.

 

10.2         Condemnation.  If, prior to the Closing, a material part of the Property (including access or parking thereto), is taken by eminent domain (or is the subject of a pending taking which has not yet been consummated), the Seller shall notify the Purchaser of such fact promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof and the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving notice to the Seller not later than ten (10) days after the giving of the Seller’s notice (and, if necessary, the Closing Date shall be extended until one day after the expiration of such ten-day period).  If the Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect and no party shall have any liability to the other hereunder.  If less than a material part of the Property shall be affected or if the Purchaser shall not elect to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, the sale of the Property shall be consummated as herein provided without any adjustment to the Purchase Price

 

16



 

(except to the extent of any condemnation award received by the Seller prior to the Closing) and the Seller shall assign to the Purchaser at the Closing all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all awards, if any, for the taking, and the Purchaser shall be entitled to receive and keep all awards for the taking of the Property or portion thereof.

 

10.3         Survival.  The parties’ obligations, if any, under this Section 10 shall survive the Closing.

 

SECTION 11.       DEFAULT.

 

11.1         Default by the Seller.  If the transaction herein contemplated fails to close as a result of the default of the Seller hereunder, or the Seller having made any representation or warranty herein which shall be untrue or misleading in any material respect, or the Seller having failed to perform any of the material covenants and agreements contained herein to be performed by the Seller, the Purchaser may, as its sole remedy, either (x) terminate this Agreement (in which case, the Seller shall reimburse the Purchaser for all of the fees, charges, disbursements and expenses of the Purchaser’s attorneys), or (y) pursue a suit for specific performance.

 

11.2         Default by the Purchaser.  If the transaction herein contemplated fails to close as a result of the default of the Purchaser hereunder, or the Purchaser having made any representation or warranty herein which shall be untrue or misleading in any material respect, or the Purchaser having failed to perform any of the covenants and agreements contained herein to be performed by it, the Seller may terminate this Agreement (in which case, the Purchaser shall reimburse the Seller for all of the fees, charges, disbursements and expenses of the Seller’s attorneys).

 

SECTION 12.       MISCELLANEOUS.

 

12.1         Allocation of Liability.  It is expressly understood and agreed that the Seller shall be liable to third parties for any and all obligations, claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses to the extent arising out of events, contractual obligations, acts, or omissions of the Seller that occurred in connection with the ownership or operation of the Property during the period in which the Seller owned the Property prior to the Closing and the Purchaser shall be liable to third parties for any and all obligations, claims, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses to the extent arising out of events, contractual obligations, acts, or omissions of the Purchaser

12.5         Waivers, Etc.  Subject to the terms of the last paragraph of Section 6, any waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement, or of the breach of any covenant, representation or warranty contained herein, in any one instance, shall not operate as or be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any other breach of such term, condition, covenant, representation or warranty or any other term, condition, covenant, representation or warranty, nor shall any failure at any time or times to enforce or require performance of any provision hereof operate as a waiver of or affect in any manner such party’s right at a later time to enforce or require performance of such provision or any other provision hereof.  This Agreement may not be amended, nor shall any waiver, change, modification, consent or discharge be effected, except by an instrument in writing executed by or on behalf of the party against whom enforcement of any amendment, waiver, change, modification, consent or discharge is sought.

12.7         Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or deemed to be, or shall in fact be, invalid, inoperative or unenforceable as applied to any particular case in any jurisdiction or jurisdictions, or in all jurisdictions or in all cases, because of the conflict of any provision with any constitution or statute or rule of public policy or for any other reason, such circumstance shall not have the effect of rendering the provision or provisions in question invalid, inoperative or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction or in any

 

20



 

other case or circumstance or of rendering any other provision or provisions herein contained invalid, inoperative or unenforceable to the extent that such other provisions are not themselves actually in conflict with such constitution, statute or rule of public policy, but this Agreement shall be reformed and construed in any such jurisdiction or case as if such invalid, inoperative or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein and such provision reformed so that it would be valid, operative and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted in such jurisdiction or in such case.

 

12.8         Counterparts Complete Agreement, Etc.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede and take the place of any other instruments purporting to be an agreement of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof.

 

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

 

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

12.12       Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

 

12.13       Arbitration.

 

(a)         Any disputes, claims or controversies between the Seller and the Purchaser (i) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or (ii) brought by or on behalf of any shareholder of  the Seller or the Purchaser (which, for purposes of this Section 12.13, shall mean any shareholder of record or any beneficial owner of shares of the Seller or the Purchaser, or any former shareholder of record or

 

21



 

beneficial owner of shares of the Seller or the Purchaser), either on his, her or its own behalf, on behalf of the Seller or the Purchaser or on behalf of any series or class of shares of the Seller or the Purchaser or shareholders of the Seller or the Purchaser against the Seller or the Purchaser or any trustee, director, officer, manager (including Reit Management & Research LLC or its successor), agent or employee of the Seller or the Purchaser, including disputes, claims or controversies relating to the meaning, interpretation, effect, validity, performance or enforcement of this Agreement, including this arbitration agreement, the declaration of trust, limited liability company agreement, partnership agreement or analogous governing instruments, as applicable, of the Purchaser or the Seller, or the bylaws of the Purchaser or the Seller (all of which are referred to as “Disputes”), or relating in any way to such a Dispute or Disputes, shall on the demand of any party to such Dispute be resolved through binding and final arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect, except as those Rules may be modified in this Section 12.13.  For the avoidance of doubt, and not as a limitation, Disputes are intended to include derivative actions against trustees, directors, officers or managers of the Seller or the Purchaser and class actions by a shareholder against those individuals or entities and the Seller or the Purchaser.  For the avoidance of doubt, a Dispute shall include a Dispute made derivatively on behalf of one party against another party.

 

(b)        There shall be three arbitrators.  If there are only two parties to the Dispute (with, for purposes of this Section 12.13, any and all parties involved in the Dispute and owned by the same ultimate parent entity treated as one party), each party shall select one arbitrator within 15 days after receipt of a demand for arbitration.  Each party shall be entitled to appoint as its party appointed arbitrator an affiliated or interested person of such party.  If there are more than two parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand, shall each select, by the vote of a majority of the claimants or the respondents, as the case may be, one arbitrator within 15 days after receipt of a demand for arbitration.  The respondents, on the one hand, and the claimants, on the other hand, shall each be entitled to appoint as its party appointed arbitrator an affiliated or

 

22



 

interested person of such party.  If either a claimant (or all claimants) or a respondent (or all respondents) fails to timely select an arbitrator then the party (or parties) who has selected an arbitrator may request the AAA to provide a list of three proposed arbitrators in accordance with the Rules (each of whom shall be neutral, impartial and unaffiliated with any party) and the party (or parties) that failed to timely appoint an arbitrator shall have ten days from the date the AAA provides such list to select one of the three arbitrators proposed by AAA.  If such party (or parties) fails to select such arbitrator by such time, the party (or parties) who has appointed the first arbitrator shall then have ten days to select one of the three arbitrators proposed by AAA to be the second arbitrator; and, if he/they should fail to select such arbitrator by such time, the AAA shall select, within 15 days thereafter, one of the three arbitrators it had proposed as the second arbitrator.  The two arbitrators so appointed shall jointly appoint the third and presiding arbitrator (who shall be neutral, impartial and unaffiliated with any party) within 15 days of the appointment of the second arbitrator.  If the third arbitrator has not been appointed within the time limit specified herein, then the AAA shall provide a list of proposed arbitrators in accordance with the Rules, and the arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with a listing, striking and ranking procedure, with each party having a limited number of strikes, excluding strikes for cause.

 

(c)         The place of arbitration shall be Boston, Massachusetts unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

 

(d)        There shall be only limited documentary discovery of documents directly related to the issues in dispute, as may be ordered by the arbitrators.

 

(e)         In rendering an award or decision (the “Award”), the arbitrators shall be required to follow the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  Any arbitration proceedings or Award rendered hereunder and the validity, effect and interpretation of this arbitration agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1 et seq.  The Award shall be in writing and may, but shall not be required to, briefly state the findings of fact and conclusions of law on which it is based.

 

(f)         Except to the extent expressly provided by

 

23



 

Section 12.2 or as otherwise agreed by the parties, each party involved in a Dispute shall bear its own costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), and the arbitrators shall not render an award that would include shifting of any such costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or, in a derivative case or class action, award any portion of the Seller’s or the Purchaser’s award to the claimant or the claimant’s attorneys.  Except to the extent expressly provided by Section 12.2 or as otherwise agreed by the parties, each party (or, if there are more than two parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand, respectively) shall bear the costs and expenses of its (or their) selected arbitrator and the parties (or, if there are more than two parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand) shall equally bear the costs and expenses of the third appointed arbitrator.

 

(g)        An Award shall be final and binding upon the parties thereto and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between such parties relating to the Dispute, including any claims, counterclaims, issues or accounting presented to the arbitrators.  Judgment upon the Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, no application or appeal to any court of competent jurisdiction may be made in connection with any question of law arising in the course of arbitration or with respect to any award made except for actions relating to enforcement of this agreement to arbitrate or any arbitral award issued hereunder and except for actions seeking interim or other provisional relief in aid of arbitration proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(h)        Any monetary award shall be made and payable in U.S. dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset.  Each party against which the Award assesses a monetary obligation shall pay that obligation on or before the 30th day following the date of the Award or such other date as the Award may provide.

 

(i)          This Section 12.13 is intended to benefit and be enforceable by the shareholders, trustees, directors, officers, managers (including Reit Management & Research LLC or its successor), agents or employees of any party and the parties and shall be binding on the shareholders of any party and the parties, as applicable, and shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights

 

24



 

to indemnification or contribution that such individuals or entities may have by contract or otherwise.

 

12.14       Like Kind Exchange.  At either party’s request, the non-requesting party will take all actions reasonably requested by the requesting party in order to effectuate all or any part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as a forward or reverse like-kind exchange for the benefit of the requesting party in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and, in the case of a reverse exchange, Rev. Proc. 2000-37, including executing an instrument acknowledging and consenting to any assignment by the requesting party of its rights hereunder to a qualified intermediary or an exchange accommodation titleholder.  In furtherance of the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the requesting party may assign its rights under this Agreement to a “qualified intermediary” or an “exchange accommodation titleholder” in order to facilitate, at no cost or expense to the other, a forward or reverse like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code; provided, however, that such assignment will not relieve the requesting party of any of its obligations hereunder.  The non-requesting party will also agree to issue all closing documents, including the deed or other operative conveyance instrument, to the applicable qualified intermediary or exchange accommodation titleholder if so directed by the requesting party prior to Closing.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the non-requesting party incur or be subject to any liability that is not otherwise provided for in this Agreement.

 

12.15       Recording.  This Agreement may not be recorded without the prior written consent of both parties.

 

12.16       Non-liability of Trustees of SellerThe Declaration of Trust establishing the Seller, dated September 12, 1996, as amended and supplemented, as filed with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland, provides that no trustee, officer, shareholder, employee or agent of the Seller shall be held to any personal liability, jointly or severally, for any obligation of, or claim against, the Seller.  All persons dealing with the Seller in any way shall look only to the assets of the Seller for the payment of any sum or the performance of any obligation.

 

12.17       Non-liability of Trustees of PurchaserThe Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust establishing Senior Housing Properties Trust, dated September 20, 1999, as amended and supplemented, as filed with the State Department Of Assessments

12.18       Waiver and Further Assurances.  The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it is a sophisticated purchaser of real properties and that it is aware of all disclosures the Seller is or may be required to provide to the Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to any law, rule or regulation (including those of Massachusetts and those of the state in which the Property is located).  The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that, prior to the execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser has had access to all information necessary to acquire the Property and the Purchaser acknowledges that the Seller has fully and completely fulfilled any and all disclosure obligations with respect thereto.  The Purchaser hereby fully and completely discharges the Seller from any further disclosure obligations whatsoever relating to the Property.  In addition to the actions recited herein and contemplated to be performed, executed, and/or delivered by the Seller and the Purchaser, the Seller and the Purchaser agree to perform, execute and/or deliver or cause to be performed, executed and/or delivered at the Closing or after the Closing any and all such further acts, instruments, deeds and assurances as may be reasonably required to establish, confirm or otherwise evidence the Seller’s satisfaction of any disclosure obligations or to otherwise consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
