Closing. In the event Purchaser exercises its right to cancel the transaction as provided for in Paragraphs 5 or 6 hereof, the Initial Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser with any interest earned thereon. Seller agrees that upon notification by Purchaser of Purchaser’s cancellation pursuant to Paragraphs 5 or 6, Seller will direct the Escrow Agent to return the Initial Deposit and interest earned thereon to Purchaser.

Any and all interest accrued or earned thereon shall be paid to Purchaser except in the event of a default by Purchaser, in which event all of the interest shall be disbursed to Seller, together with the Deposit, as liquidated damages in accordance with the default provisions below.

          5.    Title and Survey.

                    (a)    Seller has delivered to Purchaser, at Seller’s expense, an ALTA Owner’s Title Insurance Commitment (“Commitment”) with respect to the Realty in the amount of the Purchase Price issued by a title company selected by Purchaser (the “Title Company”), and certified to a date no earlier than thirty (30) days prior to the Effective Date. Seller has delivered to Purchaser, at Seller’s expense, a survey of the Realty meeting the ALTA/ACSM Minimum Standard Detail Requirements (2005) and having the following items from Table A: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7a, 7b, 7c, 8, 9, 10, 11a, 11b, 13, and 14. The survey shall be certified to Purchaser, Title Company, Purchaser’s Lender and shall contain a certification in the form attached hereto (the “Survey”). In the event that the Survey shall disclose any of the following: (i) any encroachment upon or from the Realty which adversely affects Purchaser’s intended use of the Realty or which renders title to the Realty unmarketable; or (ii) any other survey defect, such encroachment or other defect shall be treated in the same manner as a title defect, and Purchaser shall be required to object to same in writing on or prior to the end of the Title Review Period.

                    (b)    Purchaser shall have until 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on November 21, 2006 (the “Title Review Period”) in which to examine the Commitment, all underlying exception documents, and the Survey described above and satisfy itself as to the marketability and status of Seller’s title. In the event Purchaser notes any objections to the marketability of such title, or in the event that there are any matters of record which, in Purchaser’s reasonable judgment, materially interferes with the Purchaser’s use of the Realty as currently used, Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing thereof prior to the expiration of the Title Review Period. On or before five (5) days from receipt of Purchaser’s notice of objections, Seller may, but shall not be obligated to, obtain, as applicable, the issuance of an endorsement to the Commitment removing such exceptions, or affirmative title insurance protection for such objections, or to deliver to Purchaser Seller’s written affirmation (which shall be deemed a cure hereunder) that Seller shall cause certain items referenced in Purchaser’s notice of objections to be removed from the Commitment on or before Closing. If Purchaser fails to deliver such notice to Seller within the Title Review Period, Purchaser shall be conclusively deemed to have found title acceptable in all respects, and to have agreed to purchase the Property without reduction in purchase price or further obligation on the part of Seller. If Seller elects not to provide for the cure or removal of any such objections or to obtain affirmative title insurance protection for any such objections within such five (5) day period, then, Purchaser shall have the right to cancel and rescind this Agreement within five (5) days thereafter (it being intended that Purchaser’s right to cancel within such time period under this Paragraph 5(b) shall end no later than the end of the Inspection Period, as defined below) upon written notice to Seller, and this Agreement shall

Springs Medical I

terminate, the Initial Deposit and interest thereon shall be returned to Purchaser and the parties shall be released of any further obligations under this Agreement except those which expressly survive such termination. If Purchaser fails to terminate this Agreement in the manner set forth above, all objections referred to in Purchaser’s notice of objections not so cured or removed shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and Seller shall not be deemed in default hereunder as a result of its failure to cure or remove such objections. If Purchaser waives in writing its objection to any matters described in its notice of objections, such matter along with those matters not objected to in Purchaser’s notice of objections shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions. For purposes of this Agreement, “Permitted Exceptions” shall mean (i) general real estate taxes, association assessments, special assessments, special district taxes and related charges of record or disclosed in writing to Purchaser and not due and payable as of the Closing Date; (ii) matters shown on the Commitment or Survey and not objected to by Purchaser as provided above; (iii) title matters caused by the actions of Purchaser; (iv) the Leases shown on the Rent Roll (defined below); and (v) matters deemed to be Permitted Exceptions as provided above. All other exceptions to title and Survey shall be referred to as “Unpermitted Exceptions.”

                    (c)    If, after the Inspection Period but prior to Closing, Purchaser shall cause the Commitment to be updated and if such update should reveal any matter rendering title to the Realty unsatisfactory to Purchaser which was not disclosed on the original Commitment and was not caused by, through or under Purchaser, Purchaser shall notify Seller of same within three (3) business days of receipt of such update and the provision to Paragraph 5(b) relating to objections shall apply with respect to such objection as if such provisions were set forth herein in full.

      6. Due Diligence and Inspections.

  (a) Deliveries. Within five (5) days after the Effective Date, Seller shall provide Purchaser with copies of the following (the “Due Diligence Materials”):

  (ii) the Contracts;
  (iii) all documents evidencing the Intangibles with respect to the Property, if any;
  (iv) the most current title insurance policies for the Realty and copies of all exceptions listed therein;
  (v) the most recent survey of the Property, including any as-built survey;

  (xvi) any default notices from tenants.

                    (b)    Inspection Period. Purchaser shall have until 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on November 21, 2006 (the “Inspection Period”) to examine the materials provided for under Paragraph 6(a), and to make such environmental, physical, zoning, land use and other examinations, inspections and investigations of the Property or the use or operation thereof which Purchaser may determine to make. Purchaser, and Purchaser’s agents and contractors, shall have the right to enter upon the property at reasonable times upon prior reasonable notice to Seller (which notice shall not be less than 48 hours with respect to tenanted portions of the property) and Seller shall provide Purchaser, its agents and contractors with access to the Property to conduct such inspections and/or investigations subject to the terms of any Tenant Leases. Purchaser shall use its best efforts not to disturb any tenants in making such inspections. All of the foregoing tests, investigations and studies to be conducted by Purchaser shall be at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense and Purchaser shall restore the Property to the condition existing prior to the performance of such tests or investigations by or on behalf of Purchaser. Purchaser shall defend, indemnify and hold Seller and any of its affiliates, parents, shareholders, partners, members, employees, officers and directors of Seller or Seller’s affiliate or parent (collectively referred to hereinafter as “Affiliates of Seller”) harmless from any and all liability, costs and expense (including without limitation) reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and costs of appeal suffered or incurred by Seller or Affiliates of Seller for injury to persons or property caused by Purchaser’s investigations and inspections of the Property. Purchaser shall undertake its obligation to defend set forth in the preceding sentence using attorneys selected by Seller, in Seller’s sole discretion. The foregoing indemnity shall not include any claims, demands, losses, costs or expenses resulting from the mere discovery by Purchaser or its representatives of any existing hazardous substances merely revealed thereby. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Purchaser covenants and agrees that prior to commencing any such tests, studies or investigations, Purchaser shall furnish to Seller certificates of insurance evidencing that Purchaser and/or Purchaser’s agents or contractors performing any such inspections or investigations are insured by general comprehensive liability insurance policies from reputable and highly rated insurance companies licensed in Kentucky with limits of not less than $1,000,000.00, and listing Seller and Purchaser as additional insureds thereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement the provisions of this Paragraph 6(b) shall survive Closing and any cancellation of this Agreement.

Purchaser may cancel this transaction by giving written notice of cancellation to Seller and Escrow Agent prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period if Purchaser reasonably determines that any of its inspections as provided for in Paragraphs 6(a) and 6(b) reveal a condition or conditions that are unacceptable to Purchaser. In the event Purchaser gives such written notice prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, the Escrow Agent shall return the Initial Deposit and all interest earned thereon to Purchaser, whereupon the parties shall be released from all further obligations under this Agreement except those that expressly survive. In the event

Purchaser has not timely delivered written notice of cancellation in the manner provided above, then the foregoing conditions precedent shall automatically be deemed to be satisfied in full and waived by Purchaser, the Purchaser shall deliver the Additional Deposit to Escrow Agent as provided in Paragraph 4 hereof and the entire Deposit shall be non-refundable to Purchaser (unless Seller defaults hereunder), but shall be applicable to the Purchase Price at Closing.

Seller shall comply with all of its material obligations under the Leases and Contracts through the Closing Date.

  (b) After the Effective Date, but prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Seller must promptly notify Purchaser of any proposed new lease, lease extension, lease renewal, lease modification or early lease termination (collectively, “Leasing Actions”). No Purchaser consent shall be required for Leasing Actions entered into after the Effective Date but before expiration of Inspection Period. Seller shall provide a description of the proposed Leasing Action to Purchaser containing all material terms of the proposed Leasing Action.

Page 8


Springs Medical I

    or any modifications, renewals or terminations of any existing Leases or Contracts without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Purchaser does not notify Seller in writing of its consent, approval or disapproval within five (5) days after notice thereof from Seller, it will be presumed that Purchaser has consented or approved such requested action.

  (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller shall enter into any new Lease or any renewal or expansion of any existing Lease between the Effective Date and Closing (other than the Proposed Lease), and if Purchaser shall have approved such Lease, or be deemed to have approved such Lease as provided in Paragraph 10(c), Purchaser agrees to be responsible for all out-of-pocket leasing costs such as tenant improvement costs, tenant improvement allowances, leasing commissions to unrelated third parties of Seller or agents affiliated with Seller, and other leasing costs at the Property in connection with the new Lease and any renewals, extensions and expansions of Leases which are permitted hereunder; provided, however, that all such costs shall be prorated based upon any rental income received by the Seller for periods up to and including the Closing Date. Seller will be responsible for out-of-pocket leasing costs in connection with the Proposed Lease pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 14(d) hereof. Purchaser shall reimburse Seller at Closing for such costs incurred before the Closing Date and shall assume as of the Closing Date all such costs not yet paid by Seller; provided that all such costs shall be prorated based upon any rental income received by the Seller for periods up to and including the Closing Date.

  (f) Seller agrees, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, to replace the roof at the Property with a roof installed to the roof specifications listed on Exhibit D hereto (the “Roof Specifications”), which Roof Specifications Purchaser hereby agrees are acceptable to it. Prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Seller shall obtain two (2) or more bids for the roof replacement based upon the Roof Specifications and shall deliver copies of such bids to Purchaser. The roof shall either: (i) be replaced by Seller using one of the bids obtained by Seller (at Seller’s choice), after the expiration of the Inspection Period and prior to the Closing Date, so long as Purchaser has not terminated or is not deemed to have terminated this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period; or (ii) alternatively, if Purchaser determines and notifies Seller in writing during the Inspection Period that the roof does not need to be replaced immediately, Seller agrees to deposit into an escrow account established by Purchaser’s lender, at Closing, an amount equal to the amount set forth in the lowest bid obtained by Seller in accordance with the Roof Specifications for replacement of the roof (the “Roof Funds”). The Roof Funds shall be held by Purchaser’s lender pursuant to an escrow agreement to be entered into at Closing between Seller,

Page 9


Springs Medical I

    Purchaser and Purchaser’s lender, and shall be disbursed to pay the cost of a new roof at such time that such roof has been installed and all lien waivers have been obtained; provided, however, in no event shall the Roof Funds be held in escrow for a period exceeding six (6) years after the anniversary date of the Closing, and the Roof Funds, or any part thereof, remaining un-disbursed after such date shall be returned to Seller (including interest thereon if held in an interest-bearing account). If the cost of replacing the roof at any time exceeds the amount of the Roof Funds, or if Purchaser’s lender requires an amount to be escrowed for the roof which exceeds the Roof Funds, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for such additional amounts, and Seller shall not, under any circumstances, be responsible for any additional funds, costs or expenses related to the replacement of the roof, in excess of the Roof Funds.

      11. Default Provisions.

  (a) In the event (i) Purchaser fails to make the Additional Deposit as and required by the terms of this Agreement, and such failure continues for five (5) days after written notice from Seller to Purchaser, or (ii) Purchaser fails to close this transaction as and when required by the terms of this Agreement, Seller may terminate this Agreement and Seller shall receive the Deposit, together with all interest earned thereon, as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy and as agreed and liquidated damages, whereupon the parties shall be relieved of all further obligations hereunder except only those that are expressly stated to survive. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that actual damages are difficult or impossible to ascertain and the Deposit, together with all interest earned thereon, is a fair and reasonable estimation of the damages of Seller. If Purchaser is in default of any of its other obligations hereunder or if any of Purchaser’s representations or warranties set forth herein are untrue, inaccurate or incorrect when made, Seller may pursue all legal and equitable remedies for Purchaser’s default.

  (b) In the event of a default by Seller under this Agreement and such default continues for five (5) days after written notice from Purchaser to Seller detailing such default, then Purchaser shall have the right, as its sole and exclusive remedy (except as otherwise provided): (i) to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller and Purchaser shall receive a return of the Deposit and any interest thereon, and, thereafter, Seller and Purchaser shall not have further liability hereunder except for obligations which are expressly stated to survive termination hereunder; or (ii) to seek specific performance of this Agreement by Seller by commencing such action within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of Seller’s default or be deemed to have waived such right.

Seller’s indemnification obligations under this Paragraph 12(b) shall survive delivery of the deed and the Closing for a period of one (1) year after the Closing Date.

          13.    Confidentiality. Purchaser agrees that until the closing, except as otherwise provided herein or required by law, and except for the exercise by Purchaser of any remedy hereunder, Purchaser shall (a) keep confidential the pendency of this transaction and the non-public documents and information supplied by Seller to Purchaser, and (b) disclose such non-public information only to Purchaser’s agents, employees, contractors, consultants, advisors, investment bankers, investors, partners or attorneys, as well as lenders (if any) and title company personnel, with a need to know in connection with Purchaser’s review and consideration of the property, provided that Purchaser shall inform all persons receiving such information from Purchaser of the confidentiality requirement and (to the extent within Purchaser’s control) cause such confidence to be maintained.

          14.    Prorations, Deposits.

                    (a)    Rent, any amounts of additional rent or periodic tenant charges under any tenant lease (exclusive of delinquent rents, but including prepaid rents); refundable security deposits (which will be assigned to and assumed by Purchaser and credited to Purchaser at closing); real estate and personal property taxes; operating expenses of the Property, including amounts payable under the Contracts; items of income and expense; and all other proratable items shall be prorated as of 11:59 p.m. on the date of Closing. Water, sewer, electricity, fuel and other utility charges will be apportioned based upon meter readings taken as of the day immediately prior to Closing, but Purchaser and Seller agree to pay their respective shares of all utility bills received subsequent to Closing, prorated as of 11:59 p.m. on the date of Closing. In

Page 11


Springs Medical I

the event the real estate taxes for the year of Closing are unknown, the tax proration will be based upon the taxes for the prior year reduced by the maximum discount available for early payment, and at the request of either party, the taxes for the year of Closing shall be reprorated and adjusted when the tax bill for such year is received and the actual amount of taxes is known, which obligation shall survive Closing. At Closing, Seller shall be reimbursed or credited for and shall release and assign to Purchaser (and notify such utilities of such assignment) all: (i) utility deposits, (ii) prepaid charges under the Contracts, together with a credit for any deposits thereunder, and (iii) such other reimbursements as are provided for in this Agreement.

                    (b)    Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, payments by the Tenant under the Tenant Leases for utility costs, operating expenses, insurance costs and other escalation charges (excluding real estate tax payments and deposits) (collectively, the “Expense Contributions”) shall be prorated as of 11:59 p.m. on the date of Closing, allocating each payment ratably based on the number of days in the period to which the same apply, and shall be paid upon receipt. Purchaser and Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that Expense Contributions are billed to, and paid by, Tenants on the basis of estimates of the expenses with respect to which Expense Contributions are payable. If the final reconciliation of utility costs, operating expenses, insurance costs and other escalation charges reveals a discrepancy from the Expense Contributions made by Tenants, as between Purchaser and Seller, such discrepancies shall, as promptly as possible, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the end of the calendar year in which Closing occurs be allocated ratably on a per diem basis based on the period (before and including as to Seller, or after, as to Purchaser, the date of Closing) to which it applies. If either party shall have collected more than its share of such charges as allocated pursuant to this paragraph, such party shall pay over to the other the amount of such excess as promptly as possible after such sums have been ascertained to pay. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as soon as reasonably practical after December 31, 2007 (but in no event later than January 30, 2008), Purchaser shall deliver an accounting and substantiation reasonably acceptable to Seller covering all prorations under this paragraph, including any near end or similar reconciliations of Expense Contributions.

                    (c)    Rents, additional rent and other tenant charges which are delinquent as of Closing Date shall not be prorated as of the Closing Date. After Closing, Purchaser shall include such delinquencies in its normal billings and shall pursue the collection thereof in good faith after the Closing Date (however, the Purchaser shall not be required to litigate or declare default in any Lease). To the extent Purchaser receives any such delinquent rents, such payments shall be applied first toward rents for the month in which Closing occurs (and prorated in accordance with Paragraph 14(a)), and second to any delinquent rents (and additional rent and other tenant charges which are paid by Tenants in arrears, whether delinquent or not) owed to Seller with Seller’s share thereof being held by Purchaser in trust for Seller and promptly delivered to Seller by Purchaser, and with Purchaser being entitled to deduct any reasonable collection costs incurred by Purchaser. Purchaser may not waive any delinquent rents nor modify a lease so as to reduce or otherwise affect amounts owed thereunder for any period in which Seller is entitled to receive a share of the charges or amounts without first obtaining Seller’s written consent, which consent may be given or withheld in Seller’s sole discretion. With respect to delinquent rents and any other amounts or other rights of any kind respecting tenants who are no longer tenants of the Property as of the Closing Date, Seller shall retain all rights relating thereto.

                    (d)    With respect to Leases at the Property in effect on the Closing Date (other than leases subject to the provisions of Paragraph 10(d) hereof), any remaining tenant improvement allowances (the Tenant Improvement Allowances”), any tenant improvement costs (the “Tenant Improvement Costs”) and any leasing costs (the “Leasing Costs”) are listed and described on Exhibit E attached hereto and made a part hereof and shall be the responsibility of Seller. The aggregate amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowances, Tenant Improvement Costs and Leasing Costs (the “Escrow Funds”) shall be deposited into one or more escrow accounts established by Seller at Closing to pay, when due under the applicable Lease, such amounts to the applicable tenant, contractor, materials or service provider, or broker, as the case may be. The Escrow Funds shall be held by the Seller in an interest bearing account and interest earned on the Escrow Funds shall be the property of Seller. The Escrow Funds shall be disbursed upon submission to the Seller by the applicable tenant, contractor, materials or service provider, or broker, of the appropriate request for disbursement, together with any partial or final lien waivers and/or other documentation, as required by the applicable Lease terms. Any Escrow Funds remaining un-disbursed after completion of the requirements of the applicable Lease, together with any interest earned thereon, shall be paid to Seller. At Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall enter into an escrow agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Seller and Purchaser (the “Escrow Agreement”) to more fully document the foregoing agreement with regard to the Escrow Funds.

The provisions of this Paragraph 14 shall survive Closing and delivery of the Deed.

          15.    Closing Costs. The parties shall bear the following costs:

  (a) Purchaser shall be responsible for payment of the following: (i) any and all costs and expenses of environmental, architectural, engineering and other inspection and feasibility studies and reports incident to Purchaser’s inspections, (ii) the cost of the premiums and any other related fees and costs for any owner’s and lender’s title insurance policies issued pursuant thereto, including the cost of any endorsements required by Purchaser or its lender, except that Seller shall contribute $3333.33 to the cost of such title insurance policies at Closing; and (iii) notary fees and clerk’s recordation fees for recording the special warranty deed.

  (b) Seller shall be responsible for payment of (i) the cost of preparing and issuing the Commitment; (ii) the cost of obtaining the survey; (iii) the cost of any corrective or curative title documents, and (iv) the transfer tax, documentary stamp, surtax or other taxes on the deed of conveyance.

  (c) Each party shall pay its own legal fees except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Any escrow fees shall be divided equally between the parties hereto.

          16.    Closing. The closing (the “Closing”) shall be held on January 25, 2007 (the “Closing Date”), at the offices of Seller, or at such other time and place as the parties may mutually agree.

          At Closing, Seller shall execute and/or deliver or cause to be delivered to Purchaser the following closing documents all of which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller:

(l) the Escrow Agreement; and

(m) any keys or security cards in Seller’s possession for access to the Property.

          At Closing, Purchaser shall execute and/or deliver (as applicable) to Seller all of which shall be conditions precedent to Seller’s obligation to complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement:

(a) the balance of the Purchase Price;

(b) an updated certificate from Purchaser updating the representations made by Purchaser under Paragraph 8 above to the date of Closing;

(c) the assignment and assumption of Contracts;

Seller shall deliver to Purchaser, at or prior to the Closing, estoppel certificates from Tenants at the Property (“Tenant Estoppel Certificates”) accounting for not less than 85% of total rent at the Property in effect as of the expiration of the Inspection Period. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Tenant Estoppel Certificate shall be in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F, subject to reasonable modification, or in the form, if any, prescribed in the applicable Lease. Seller’s sole obligation hereunder shall be to utilize commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Tenant Estoppel Certificates from each such Tenant (and shall not include any obligation to institute legal proceedings or extend money). Seller shall deliver to Purchaser all Tenant Estoppel Certificates it receives promptly after receipt. Seller shall also cooperate with Purchaser in good faith to obtain such subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements, if any, required by Purchaser’s lender (collectively, “SNDAs”, and individually, an “SNDA”) from the Tenants under Tenant Leases accounting for not less than 85% of the total rent at the Property on a form to be supplied by Purchaser no later than three (3) business days after the expiration of the Inspection Period. Upon receipt of the SNDAs from Purchaser, Seller shall promptly deliver the form SNDA to each Tenant under a Tenant Lease. If, on or before the Closing, such conditions with respect to Estoppel Certificates and SNDAs are not satisfied (or waived in writing by Purchaser), then this Agreement shall terminate the Deposit and shall be returned to Purchaser and no party hereto shall have any further obligation in connection herewith except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

          18.    Broker. Each of Purchaser and Seller warrants to the other that it has not dealt with any real estate broker, agent, finder or salesperson in the negotiation of this contract. If a claim for a commission or fee in connection with this transaction is made by any broker, salesperson or finder claiming to have dealt through or on behalf of one of the parties hereto (“Indemnitor”), Indemnitor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party hereunder (“Indemnitee”), and Indemnitee’s officers, directors, agents and representatives, from and

against all liabilities, damages, claims, costs, fees and expenses whatsoever (including reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs at trial and all appellate levels) with respect to said claim for commission. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the provisions of this paragraph shall survive the Closing and any cancellation or termination of this Agreement.

          19.    Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall hold the Deposit (or portion thereof) in escrow, and disburse it only in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of either party hereto, and shall not be liable for any actions taken by it in good faith, but only for its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The parties hereby indemnify and agree to hold harmless the Escrow Agent from and against all liabilities, damages, claims, costs, fees and expenses whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs at all trial and appellate levels) the Escrow Agent may incur or be exposed to in its capacity as escrow agent hereunder, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

                    (a)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Realty or any portion thereof is taken by eminent domain, condemnation or similar taking, prior to Closing, Seller shall promptly give notice to Purchaser, and if such taking will materially and adversely, as reasonably determined by Purchaser and Seller, impair the use of the Property as it is currently being operated or would materially and adversely impair access to the Property (“Material Portion”) Purchaser shall have the option of either: (a) terminating this Agreement by delivering written notice of such election to Seller within ten (10) days after receipt of Seller’s notice of such taking, and receiving a refund of the Deposit and all interest earned thereon whereupon all parties shall be relieved of all further obligations under this Agreement except those that are expressly stated to survive, or (b) proceeding with Closing without reduction of the Purchase Price, in which case Seller shall assign to Purchaser all condemnation awards and settlements, if any. In the event no Material Portion of the Realty is taken by eminent domain prior to Closing, then Purchaser shall be required to proceed with Closing without reduction of Purchase Price, and Seller shall assign to Purchaser all condemnation awards and settlements, if any.

                    (b)    In the event that the Improvements are damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty prior to Closing, repair of which would cost in excess of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00) to repair (as determined by Purchaser and Seller in good faith), Purchaser shall have the option of either: (i) terminating this Agreement by delivering written notice of such election within ten (10) days after receipt of Seller’s determination as to the cost of repairs, and receiving a refund of the Deposit and all interest earned thereon whereupon all parties shall be released from all further obligations under this Agreement, except only those that are expressly stated to survive, or (ii) proceeding with Closing without reduction in the Purchase Price except as provided below, or claim against Seller therefor, in which case Purchaser shall be

Page 17


Springs Medical I

entitled to all insurance proceeds, if any, resulting from such casualty, plus a credit at Closing against the Purchase Price in the amount of any insurance deductible that is actually deducted from the proceeds made available to Purchaser. In the event only a portion of the Improvements is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty prior to Closing, repair of which would cost less than or equal to Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00) (as determined by Purchaser and Seller in good faith), then Purchaser shall be required to proceed with Closing without reduction in the Purchase Price or claim against Seller therefor, and Seller may elect to either repair and restore the Improvements (in which case Closing shall be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed ninety (90) days, until completion of such restoration), or to assign and transfer to Purchaser insurance proceeds, if any, resulting from such casualty, and credit Purchaser at Closing with an amount of any insurance deductible that is actually deducted from the proceeds made available to Purchaser.

          22.    Limitation of Liability. Except as otherwise specifically provided for in this Agreement, none of the shareholders, partners, officers, directors, agents or employees, heirs, successors or assigns of Seller (“Seller Representatives”) shall have any personal liability of any kind or nature, nor shall Purchaser have the right to receive any judgment in or otherwise recover against the assets of the aforesaid for or by reason of any matter or thing whatsoever under, in connection with, arising out of or in any way related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein, and Purchaser hereby waives for itself and anyone who may claim by, through or under Purchaser any and all rights to sue or recover on account of any such alleged personal liability or to receive any judgment in or otherwise recover against the assets of Seller, the Affiliates of Seller or the respective Seller Representatives.

                    Except as otherwise specifically provided for in this Agreement, none of the shareholders, partners, officers, directors, agents or employees, heirs, successors or assigns of Purchaser (” Purchaser Representatives”) shall have any personal liability of any kind or nature, nor shall Seller have the right to receive any judgment in or otherwise recover against the assets of the aforesaid for or by reason of any matter or thing whatsoever under, in connection with, arising out of or in any way related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein, and Seller hereby waives for itself and anyone who may claim by, through or under Seller any and all rights to sue or recover on account of any such alleged personal liability or to receive any judgment in or otherwise recover against the assets of Purchaser, the Affiliates of Purchaser or the respective Purchaser Representatives.

          23.    Closing on Springs Medical Office Center II and Springs Office Building. The obligations of Seller to complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to close on the sale of the Property to Purchaser are expressly conditioned on the Purchaser simultaneously consummating the transactions contemplated in, and performing all of Purchaser’s obligations under: (a) that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement of even date herewith between Dutchman Parkway Investors, LLC, a Kentucky limited liability company and Purchaser, with respect to the Property located at 6420 Dutchmans Parkway, Louisville, Kentucky 40205 and commonly known as “Springs Medical Office Center II”; and (b) that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement of even date herewith between Seller and Purchaser with respect to the Property located at 950 Breckinridge Lane, Louisville, Kentucky, and commonly known as “Springs Office Building.”
