4.                           Due Diligence.

 

(a)          Within five (5) days after the execution of this Agreement, Purchaser shall order commitments for owner’s policies of title insurance (the “Title Commitment”) issued by Acres Land Title Agency, Inc., Agent for Chicago Title Insurance Company (the “Title Company”) covering fee simple title to the Real Property, in which the Title Company shall agree to insure, in such amount as Purchaser deems adequate, merchantable title to such interests free from the Schedule B standard printed exceptions and all other exceptions except for (i) exceptions which, under applicable state rules and regulations, cannot be deleted or modified, and (ii) exceptions to which Purchaser does not object pursuant to Section 4(b) below (collectively, “Permitted Exceptions”), with such endorsements as Purchaser shall reasonably require and with insurance coverage over any “gap” period. Such Title Commitments shall have attached thereto complete, legible copies of all instruments noted as exceptions therein. Purchaser shall furnish Seller with a copy of the title commitment and attachments, and all subsequent revisions thereof, promptly upon receipt of same, but in no event later than five (5) days before the Due Diligence Deadline.

 

(b)          If (i) any of the Title Commitments reflect any exceptions to title other than Permitted Exceptions which are not acceptable to Purchaser in Purchaser’s sole discretion, or (ii) the Survey to be obtained by Purchaser pursuant to Section 4(d) below discloses anything not acceptable to Purchaser in Purchaser’s sole discretion (any such exception or unacceptable statement of fact being referred to herein as a “Title Defect”), then Purchaser shall, on or before the earlier of five (5) days before the end of the Due Diligence Period give Seller written notice of such Title Defect (the “Title Notice”). Such Title Notice shall include a copy of the relevant Title Commitment and copies of the exceptions. Any exception to title that is (x) disclosed in the Title Commitment, or (y) identified on a Survey, which, in either case, is not identified as a Title Defect in the Title Notice, shall be deemed to be a “Permitted Exception” for purposes of this Agreement. Seller shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of any such Title Notice, notify Purchaser whether Seller will take the action necessary to remove the Title Defects (the Title Defects that Seller agrees to remove are hereinafter referred to as the “Agreed Upon Title Defects”); it being understood that Seller shall have no obligation to agree to remove any Title Defects other than Required Cure Items. If Seller gives notice that it will not cure one or more Title Defects, or if Seller does not respond to the Title Notice during said ten (10) day period (in which case Seller shall be deemed to have refused to cure any Title Defects), Purchaser shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement within five (5) days after the earlier of (y) the date Purchaser receives Seller’s notice, or (z) the expiration of said ten (10) day period, in which case this Agreement shall terminate and the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further obligations to the other party hereunder, except as otherwise provided herein. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the following items (the “Required Cure Items”) must be cured prior to or at Closing (with Seller having the right to apply the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to either such party pursuant to Section 2 hereof, or a portion thereof, for such purpose): (x) all mortgages, security deeds, and other security instruments created by Seller, (y) all mechanics’, materialmen’s, repairmen’s, contractors’ or other similar liens which encumber the Real Property as of the Effective Date created by, through or under Seller or which may be filed against the Real Property after the Effective Date created by, through or under Seller, and (z) all judgments against the Seller in a liquidated monetary amount which may constitute a lien against the Real Property. On or before the Closing, Seller shall provide Purchaser with reasonable evidence of removal of the Agreed Upon Title Defects (with Seller having the right to apply the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to an Individual Property pursuant to Section 2 hereof, or a portion thereof, for such purpose). Following the Due Diligence Deadline, Purchaser shall notify Seller within five (5) days of receipt of an updated Title Commitment or Survey showing any Title Defects that are not Permitted Exceptions, and Seller shall have the same opportunity to respond and Purchaser the same remedies as set forth in this Section 4(b). Any Title Defects that are not Permitted Exceptions that are not timely objected to in the manner set forth in this Section 4(b) shall be deemed Permitted Exceptions.

 

14
 

 

(c)          In the event (x) the Agreed Upon Title Defects specified are not cured on or before the Closing, or (y) a Required Cure Item is not cured on or before the Closing, Purchaser shall have the option to:

 

(i)accept Seller’s interest in the Land subject to such Title Defect(s) or Required Cure Item(s), in which event such Title Defect(s) or Required Cure Item(s) shall become part of the Permitted Exceptions, and to close the transaction contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

 

(ii)pay up to an aggregate of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) to cure the Agreed Upon Title Defect or Required Cure Items and deduct such amount from the Purchase Price; or

 

(iii)by giving Seller written notice of Purchaser’s election, terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for its actual out-of-pocket costs in negotiating and performing due diligence under this Agreement, not to exceed $200,000 in the aggregate, and upon the making of such refund and reimbursement, no party shall have any further rights or obligations to the other hereunder, except for such rights and obligations that, by the express terms hereof, survive any termination of this Agreement. If Purchaser elects to proceed with the Closing without giving notice of its election of this option (iii), it will be deemed to have accepted such Title Defect(s) or Required Cure Item(s) as Permitted Exceptions.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4(c), if on the Closing Date the Real Property is affected by any Required Cure Item or Agreed Upon Title Defect then in such event, Seller, at Seller’s election shall have the privilege to (i) remove or satisfy the same, and shall, for that purpose, be entitled to one or more adjournments of the Closing for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days beyond the date scheduled for Closing, or (ii) if the Required Cure Item or Agreed Upon Title Defect is of a liquidated monetary amount, Seller may, at Seller’s election, post a bond, letter of credit or escrow reasonably acceptable to the Title Company to cause the Title Company to omit the applicable Required Cure Item or Agreed Upon Title Defect from the Purchaser’s title insurance policy to be issued at the Closing, and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts after the Closing to contest the applicable Required Cure Item or Agreed Upon Title Defect and to cause the applicable Required Cure Item or Agreed Upon Title Defect to be discharged of record.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing indemnity, Purchaser shall (i) remove any mechanics’ or other lien which may be recorded against the Property (or any part thereof) by any party providing labor, materials or services at the request of Purchaser and (ii) not file or cause to be filed any application or make any request (other than inquiries of the public records) with any governmental or quasi-governmental agency (other than Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac) prior to Closing which would or could lead to an investigation or hearing before any governmental or quasi-governmental agency or which would or could lead to a violation of Applicable Law or any change in zoning, parcelization, Licenses, permits or other entitlements or any investigation or restriction on the use of the Property, or any part thereof; provided, however, that Purchaser, within ten (10) Business Days following the Effective Date, shall submit applications for the Required Governmental Approvals. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the expiration or any earlier termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (1) Purchaser may contact governmental authorities in regard to land use and licensing matters, but only to extent required for due diligence, licensing of the new operators for the Facilities, and operation of the Facilities, and (2) Purchaser shall not contact any officials of the City without giving Seller a minimum of two (2) Business Days advance notice and an opportunity to participate, and (3) Purchaser shall not contact International Senior Properties or any of its principals, employees or Affiliates without giving Seller a minimum of two (2) Business Days advance notice and an opportunity for Seller to participate.

Except as set forth in the Environmental Reports, Seller has no Knowledge of any previous generation, storage, disposal or existence of any Hazardous Substance at or on the Real Property other than in accordance with all Environmental Laws. Except as set forth in the Environmental Reports, neither Seller, nor, to Seller’s Knowledge, Existing Manager, has received any notice letter under any Environmental Law or any notice or claim, and there is no investigation pending or to Seller’s Knowledge threatened, to the effect that Seller is or may be liable for or as a result of the release or threatened release of hazardous substance into the environment or for the suspected unlawful presence of any hazardous waste on the Real Property.

 

(cc)         Neither the Seller nor, to Seller’s Knowledge, the Existing Manager has received written notice of any violation of Applicable Laws with respect to the Facilities.

 

Purchaser acknowledges that Seller acquired the Facilities through foreclosure on February 1, 2011 and that the Diligence Materials may include certain financial statements, reports, documents, investigations, etc. prepared by or on behalf of the prior owner of the Facilities (“Prior Owner Diligence Materials”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Seller makes absolutely no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, with respect to any Prior Owner Diligence Materials, including without limitation, with respect to the accuracy or completeness thereof.

 

All representations and warranties made by Seller in this Section 6 shall be true and correct on the date made and their continued validity in all material respects as of the Closing Date shall be a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to close the Transactions hereby contemplated.

 

If before the Closing Purchaser acquires Purchaser Knowledge that any representation or warranty set forth in Section 6 is untrue or incomplete or has become untrue or incomplete due to a change in facts or circumstances, then within five (5) days, Purchaser shall give Seller written notice, specifying the manner in which such representation or warranty is untrue or incomplete. If before the Closing Seller acquires Knowledge that any representation or warranty set forth in Section 6 has become untrue or incomplete due to a change in facts or circumstances (or Seller acquiring Knowledge of facts or circumstances of which Seller did not previously have Knowledge), then Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of the representation or warranty which is untrue or incomplete. In either case, Seller shall have the right to cure such condition before the Closing, and Seller shall give Purchaser written notice within five (5) days after (i) receipt of Purchaser’s notice pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 6, or (ii) the giving of Seller’s notice pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, whether Seller will be able to cure such condition prior to the Closing Date. If Seller is unable to cure any such condition prior to the Closing Date, then, provided the condition is not the result of the willful conduct of Seller in violation of this Agreement, Purchaser's exclusive remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement by notice to Seller and Escrow Agent given within ten (10) calendar days after Seller notifies Purchaser that Seller will be unable to cure the same. In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 6, the Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser, whereupon, except as provided herein, this Agreement and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be null and void; provided, however, if the condition is as a result of the willful conduct of Seller in violation of this Agreement, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for its actual out-of-pocket costs in negotiating and performing due diligence under this Agreement, not to exceed $200,000 in the aggregate, and upon the making of such refund and reimbursement, this Agreement shall be null and void. If Purchaser fails to terminate this Agreement within such ten (10) day period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived any right to terminate under this Section 6, or any other recourse against Seller, and the applicable representation and warranty made by Seller hereunder shall be deemed waived by Purchaser to the extent that it is untrue or incomplete.

The phrases “Knowledge” “to Seller’s Knowledge,” the “Knowledge of Seller and/or of its Affiliates,” and similar terms used in this Agreement, shall mean in all cases the actual knowledge of the following individuals (or any one of them): Jordan S. Socaransky and Kenneth R. Assiran (the “Knowledge Parties”), after reasonable inquiry with the executive director of the Facilities. In no event shall Purchaser be entitled to assert any cause of action against any of the Knowledge Parties with respect to this Agreement or any breach hereof, nor shall any of the Knowledge Parties have any personal liability whatsoever for any matter under or related to this Agreement.

 

7.                           Covenants of Seller.

 

(a)          Operation of the Facility. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Seller, during the term of this Agreement, shall carry on the business and operations of each Facility in substantially the same manner as heretofore carried on by it. Prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall maintain (or replace with policies of like amounts) all existing insurance policies set forth on Schedule 6 insuring the Property and the operation of the Facility, and such policies shall be on an occurrence basis, where applicable. Seller shall provide Purchaser with current loss runs within fifteen (15) days after the end of each month from the Effective Date until the Closing. Prior to Closing Seller will promptly notify Purchaser of any potential losses or claims that may be covered by the insurance. Except for the items listed in Section 3(b), Seller shall not remove any of the Personalty from the Facilities, unless Seller replaces the same with like items that are of equal or better quality and condition. Seller shall maintain the inventory consistent with Seller’s past practices and will replenish the same consistent with its past practices. Seller shall complete all capital improvements and renovations to the facilities in a good and workmanlike manner. Seller may extend, amend, modify or terminate any of the Property Agreements and Residency Agreements as Seller deems appropriate to operate, service and maintain the Property consistent with normal business practices, and may enter into new Property Agreements; provided, however, (A) from the date of this Agreement to the Closing Date, Seller shall provide to Purchaser copies of new Property Agreements and any terminations, amendments, extensions, or modifications of existing Property Agreements, which Seller has entered into, or intends to enter into, within two (2) business days thereof, (B) Seller shall not, without the written consent of Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), enter into (i) any leases of furniture, fixtures or equipment for the Facility, (ii) any new Property Agreement other than those that are consistent with past practices and that are terminable with not more than thirty (30) days’ notice without penalty, or (iii) any extension, amendment, modification, or termination of a Property Agreement other than an extension of an existing Property Agreement on substantially the same terms (provided that Purchaser has not delivered to Seller Notice of its intent to not assume such Property Agreement) or consistent with past practices, (C) no part of the Real Property, or any interest therein, will be sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (D) without the prior written approval of Purchaser (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Seller shall not make any material alterations to the Real Property, or remove or otherwise dispose of any material portion of the Personalty.

Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser in all commercially reasonable respects, including by (A) executing and/or delivering necessary or desirable applications and other information and documents, to facilitate the issuance to Purchaser of all Required Governmental Approvals, certificates and approvals for operation of the Facilities and other authorizations in connection with the operation of the Property (“Purchaser Permits”) and (B) promptly notifying Purchaser of any communications to or from any governmental agency with respect to matters that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse affect upon each Facility. In the event that any of the Purchaser Permits required to be obtained prior to the Closing Date are not obtained at such time, but all other conditions set forth herein are satisfied (other than conditions which, by their nature, are to be satisfied on the Closing Date), Seller agrees to cooperate in good faith with Purchaser and to use commercially reasonable efforts in formulating and implementing mutually acceptable alternatives (including, but not limited to the Interim Licensure Arrangement) that permit the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with all legal requirements in the absence of such Purchaser Permits, provided that any such arrangements are fully in compliance with all legal requirements, that Purchaser either pays for or promptly reimburses Seller for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Seller in connection therewith, and that Purchaser indemnifies and holds harmless Seller from and against any claims, damages, costs or liabilities arising in connection therewith. If Purchaser is not able to obtain a license from the NJ Department of Health to operate the Three Facility by the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser shall enter into an Interim Licensure Arrangement in the form attached as Exhibit H on or before the Closing Date.

 

(c)          Audit. Seller at no material out of pocket cost to Seller, shall assist Purchaser in conducting and completing, no later than seventy-four (74) days following the Closing Date, an audit of property-level financials for the Property as specified by Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, provided such audit shall be at the sole cost and expense of Purchaser. In connection therewith, Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and provide to the auditors any and all data and financial information in the possession of Seller which are necessary or required by the auditors in connection with their preparation and completion of the foregoing audit, which additional data and financial information shall be true, correct and complete in all material respects to Seller’s knowledge. Additionally, Seller shall provide Purchaser, but without expense to Seller, with (a) an audit letter in substantially the form as Exhibit N attached hereto and made a part hereof, and (b) copies of, or access to, such factual information as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser or its designated accountants, and in the possession or control of Seller, to enable Purchaser to file any filings required by the SEC in connection with the purchase of the Property. The rights and obligations of Seller and Purchaser under this Section 7(c) shall survive the Closing; provided, however, that any representation and warranty shall be subject to the Survival Period, the Floor and the Cap.

 

(d)          Seller shall give prompt written notice to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall give prompt written notice to Seller, of (i) the occurrence, or failure to occur, of any event that would be likely to cause any of its respective representations or warranties contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect at any time from the Effective Date to the Closing, and (ii) any failure to comply with or satisfy, in any material respect, any covenant, condition, or agreement to be complied with or satisfied under this Agreement. If, prior to Closing, either Purchaser or Seller obtains Knowledge of any matter that causes the representations or warranties of the other party contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect, such party shall promptly notify the other party thereof in writing.

(b)          On the date of the Closing, the amount of prorations and adjustments as aforesaid shall be determined or estimated to the extent practicable, and monetary adjustment shall be made between Seller and Purchaser. If any prorations or adjustments are based on estimates as of Closing, when the amount of such costs, expenses, charges or amounts upon which such prorations or adjustments are finally known, Seller and Purchaser shall make a recalculation of the apportionment of the same, and Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall make an appropriate payment to the other based on such recalculation, provided such adjustment is claimed by such party within one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date.

Subject to the foregoing sentence, any rent or other payment collected after the Closing from any resident which owed a payment that was delinquent as of the Closing Date shall be applied first to Purchaser’s unpaid monetary obligations with respect to any periods from and after the Closing Date through the end of the month in which such payment is made, in such order as Purchaser may elect, until such monetary obligations have been paid in full; any remaining amount of such payment shall be paid over to Seller, for application against Seller’s delinquent monetary obligations with respect to any periods before the Closing Date, in such order as Seller may elect, until such delinquent monetary obligations have been paid in full, and any remaining amount of such payment shall be retained by Purchaser for application against Purchaser’s future obligations.

Seller shall be entitled to a refund from the utility or the municipality of any such deposits not assigned to Purchaser.

 

(c)          If any refund of real property taxes or payments under the PILOT Agreement regarding any of the Real Property or the Adjacent Land is made after the date of the Closing for a period prior to the Closing, after deducting Purchaser’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs, if any, in obtaining such refund, the amount of such refund that is on account of the period prior to Closing shall be paid to Seller or as Seller directs. The balance, if any, of such refund that is on account of the period following Closing shall be paid to Purchaser.

 

(d)          At Closing, Seller shall transfer the following sums or give Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of all (i) Accrued Employee Benefits for any Hired Employees accruing prior to the Closing Date; (ii) security deposits (together with any interest earned thereon or otherwise due to the residents under the terms of any residency agreement or Applicable Law); and (iii) last months’ rents, and other prepaid rent or fees (together with any interest earned thereon or otherwise due to the residents under the terms of any residency agreements or Applicable Law).

13.                         Remedies.

 

(a)          Purchaser Default. If Purchaser should default under this Agreement, and such default continues for ten (10) days after written notice thereof specifying such default, Seller may elect to cancel this Agreement by giving notice to Purchaser and Escrow Agent. The parties hereto agree that the damages that Seller will sustain as a result of such default will be substantial but will be difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, the parties agree that in the event that Seller shall elect to terminate this Agreement as a result of such default, and Seller is not otherwise in default under this Agreement, Escrow Agent is hereby directed to pay the Deposit to Seller, who shall retain the Deposit as and for its liquidated damages and sole remedy hereunder, in which event this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect except for those provisions expressly stated to survive the termination of this Agreement; provided, however, nothing herein shall limit the Seller’s rights under any indemnities set forth in this Agreement.

 

(b)          Seller Default. If Seller defaults on any of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement, and such default continues for ten (10) days after written notice thereof specifying such default, Purchaser’s sole remedy for Seller’s default shall be to elect either to: (i) cause the refund of the Deposit to Purchaser and reimburse Purchaser for its actual out-of-pocket costs in negotiating and performing due diligence under this Agreement, not to exceed $200,000 in the aggregate, and upon the making of such refund and reimbursement, this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect except for those provisions expressly stated to survive the termination of this Agreement and the lien, if any, of Purchaser against the Property shall wholly cease; or (ii) commence an action for specific performance. Purchaser hereby waives all other rights and remedies that it might have, including but not limited to, the right to sue for damages.

 

(c)          Collection Costs. If any legal action, arbitration or other similar proceeding is commenced to enforce or interpret any provision of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of its attorneys’ fees and expenses. The phrase “prevailing party” shall include a party who receives substantially the relief desired whether by dismissal, summary judgment, judgment or otherwise. In the event that either party is entitled to an award of its attorneys’ fees and expenses pursuant to the terms of this Section 13(c), such award shall be available notwithstanding the limitations on remedies set forth in Sections 13(a) and (b) above.

34
 

 

14.                       Broker. Seller and Purchaser represent to each other that neither party has dealt with any broker or real estate consultant in connection with the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that Seller has engaged Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (“SN”) as its investment advisor and the Seller shall pay the fees due to SN in accordance with a separate agreement between Seller and SN. Seller and Purchaser shall indemnify and hold the other free and harmless from and against any liabilities, damages, costs or expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) suffered by the indemnified party arising from a misrepresentation or a breach of any covenant made by the indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 14. The provisions of this Section 14 shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement.

 

15.                        Risk of Loss.

 

(a)          Condemnation.

 

(i)          The risk of any loss or damage to the Real Property by condemnation before the Closing shall continue to be borne by Seller. In the event any condemnation proceeding is commenced or threatened, Seller shall promptly give Purchaser written notice thereof (in any event within five (5) days after Seller first has Knowledge of the occurrence of same), together with such reasonable details with respect thereto as to which Seller may have Knowledge. If, prior to Closing, there is a material taking by eminent domain at the Real Property, this Agreement shall become null and void at Purchaser’s option, and upon receipt by Seller of the written notice of an election by Purchaser to treat this Agreement as null and void, this Agreement shall be deemed null and void. If Purchaser elects to proceed and to consummate the purchase despite said material taking, or if there is less than a material taking prior to Closing, there shall be no reduction in or abatement of the Purchase Price and Purchaser shall be required to purchase the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and Seller shall assign to Purchaser, without representation of warranty by or recourse against Seller, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to any award made or to be made in the condemnation proceeding (in which event Purchaser shall have the right to participate in the adjustment and settlement of any insurance claim relating to said damage). For the purpose of this Section 15, the term “material” shall mean any taking of in excess of five percent (5%) of the square footage of the buildings on the Real Property or ten percent (10%) of the Land associated with the Real Property. The parties’ obligations, if any, under this Section 15(a) shall survive the expiration or any termination of this Agreement.

 

(b)          Destruction or Damage. The risk of any loss or damage to the Real Property by fire or other casualty before the Closing shall continue to be borne by Seller. Seller shall promptly give Purchaser written notice of any fire or other casualty (in any event within ten (10) days after Seller first has Knowledge of the occurrence of same), which notice shall include a description thereof in reasonable detail and an estimate of the cost of time to repair. If (i) any portion of the Real Property is damaged by fire or casualty after the Effective Date and is not repaired and restored substantially to its original condition prior to Closing, or (ii) at the time of Closing the estimated cost of repairs as to the Real Property is THREE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND U.S. DOLLARS ($350,000.00) or less, as determined by an independent adjuster selected by Seller, Purchaser shall be required to purchase the Property in accordance with this Agreement, and Purchaser shall receive from Seller at Closing (I) an assignment, without representation of warranty by or recourse against Seller, of all insurance claims and proceeds with respect thereto, plus (II) an amount equal to Seller’s insurance deductible. If the estimated cost of repairing such damage to the Real Property is more than THREE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND U.S. DOLLARS ($350,000.00), as determined by such independent adjuster, Purchaser may, at its sole option: (x) terminate this Agreement by notice to Seller on or before the earlier of the Closing or the tenth (10th) day after receipt of such notice described above, in which event no party shall have any further liability to the party under this Agreement; or (y) proceed to Closing as provided in this Section 15(b). In no event shall the amount of insurance proceeds assigned to Purchaser under this subparagraph (plus the amount of the deductible) exceed the lesser of (i) the cost of repair or (ii) the Purchase Price. The parties’ obligations, if any, under this Section 15(b) shall survive the expiration or any termination of this Agreement.

(b)          Disclaimer. Purchaser agrees that, except as and to the extent provided in this Agreement or in the documents to be delivered by Seller at Closing (subject to the provisions set forth in Section 16(a) of this Agreement), Purchaser is purchasing the Property in “AS IS”, “WHERE IS”, “WITH ALL FAULTS” condition, and without any other warranties, representations or guarantees, either express or implied, of any kind, nature, or type whatsoever from, or on behalf of, Seller.

 

(i)          Except as and to the extent provided in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and in the documents to be delivered by Seller at Closing, each of Seller and its Affiliates, and its and their officers, directors, employees, members, managers and agents, expressly disclaims, has not made, will not make, and does not make, any warranties or representations, express or implied, with respect to the Property or any portion thereof, the physical condition or repair or disrepair thereof (whether patent or latent), the value, profitability or marketability thereof or the title thereto, or of any of the appurtenances, facilities or equipment thereon;

 

(ii)         Except as and to the extent provided in this agreement, Each of Seller and its Affiliates, and its and their officers, directors, employees, members, managers and agents, expressly disclaims, has not made, will not, and does not, make, any warranties, express or implied, of merchantability, habitability or fitness for a particular use;

 

(iii)        Except as and to the extent provided in this agreement, Purchaser has not relied upon any statement or representation by or on behalf of Seller unless such statement or representation is specifically set forth in this Agreement or in the documents to be delivered by Seller at Closing;

 

36
 

 

(iv)        AS OF THE DATE HEREOF AND THROUGH THE END OF THE DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD, PURCHASER HAS MADE AND WILL MAKE SUCH LEGAL, FACTUAL AND OTHER INQUIRIES AND INVESTIGATIONS AS PURCHASER HAS DEEMED NECESSARY, DESIRABLE OR APPROPRIATE WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY AND THE VALUE AND MARKETABILITY THEREOF AND OF THE APPURTENANCES, FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT THEREOF. SUCH INQUIRIES AND INVESTIGATIONS OF PURCHASER ARE HEREBY DEEMED TO INCLUDE, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE PHYSICAL COMPONENTS OF ALL PORTIONS OF THE IMPROVEMENTS, THE CONDITION OF REPAIR OF THE PROPERTY OR ANY PORTION THEREOF, SUCH STATE OF FACTS AS A CURRENT TITLE REPORT AND/OR AN ACCURATE SURVEY, ENVIRONMENTAL EXAMINATIONS, AND FLOOD PLAIN EXAMINATIONS WOULD SHOW OR DISCLOSE, AND THE PRESENT AND FUTURE ZONING, ORDINANCES, RESOLUTIONS AND REGULATIONS OF THE CITY, COUNTY AND STATE WHERE THE IMPROVEMENTS ARE LOCATED.

 

(c)          Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement or in the documents to be executed and delivered by Seller at Closing, each of Seller and its Affiliates, and its and their officers, directors, members, managers, partners, principals, employees and agents, expressly disclaims, has not made, will not make, and does not make, any warranties or representations, express or implied, that relate to, arise out of or with respect to (1) Purchaser’s ability, or inability, to obtain or maintain temporary or final certificates of occupancy or other licenses for the use or operation of the Improvements, and/or certificates of compliance for the Improvements, (2) the actual or potential income, or profits, to be derived from the Property, (3) the real estate, or other, taxes or special assessments, now or hereafter payable on account of, or with respect to, the Property, (4) Purchaser’s ability or inability to demolish the Improvements or otherwise develop the Property, or (5) the environmental condition of the Property.

 

17.                        General Provisions.

 

(a)          Entire Agreement. This Agreement and exhibits hereto constitute the entire agreement of Seller and Purchaser with respect to sale of the Property and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous written or oral agreements, whether express or implied, related to the subject matter hereof.

 

(b)          Amendments. This Agreement may be amended only by a written agreement executed and delivered by Seller and Purchaser.

 

(c)          Waivers. No waiver of any provision or condition of, or default under, this Agreement by any party shall be valid unless in writing signed by such party. No such waiver shall be taken as a waiver of any other or similar provision or of any future event, act, or default.

 

(d)          Time. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. In the computation of any period of time provided for in this Agreement or by law, the day of the act or event from which the period of time runs shall be excluded, and the last day of such period shall be included, unless it is not a Business Day, in which case it shall run to the next day which is a Business Day.

 

37
 

 

(e)          Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned by Purchaser without the consent of Seller. A direct or indirect transfer, sale or assignment of the majority stock interest in a corporate purchaser or the majority membership interest in a limited liability company purchaser or the majority or any general partnership interest of a partnership purchaser shall constitute an assignment of this Agreement, which assignment or attempted assignment shall be void if made without the written consent of Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may assign its rights under this Agreement, without the consent of Seller, to an Affiliate, including Purchaser’s Designee, provided the assignee assumes in writing all of the obligations of Purchaser to be performed under this Agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Seller and an original of such fully executed assignment and assumption agreement is delivered to Seller at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing. Purchaser shall not assign this Agreement to an entity or individual which would make any of the statements, representations or warranties set forth in Section 8 of this Agreement untrue or incorrect in any material respect and any such assignment shall be null and void and without force and effect. No assignment of this Agreement shall relieve Purchaser from any of its obligations set forth herein arising prior to or after the effective date of the assignment.

 

(f)          Notices. Any notices or other communications permitted or required to be given hereunder shall be in writing, shall be delivered (i) personally, in which case notice shall be deemed delivered upon receipt or refusal of delivery, (ii) by reputable overnight delivery service, in which case notice shall be deemed delivered on the date of deposit with such courier, or (iii) by fax, in which case notice shall be deemed delivered upon the mechanical confirmation of delivery, and shall be addressed to the respective party as set forth in this subsection (f).

Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent Purchaser from filing a Notice of Settlement.

Additional information regarding radon and radon testing may be obtained from public health units of the county in which the Real Property is located.

 

18.                        Indemnification.

 

(a)          Reserved.

 

(b)          Indemnification by Seller. From and after Closing, Seller shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Purchaser and each of their officers, directors, employees, Affiliates, successors and assigns from and against, and pay or reimburse each of them for and with respect to, any Indemnification Loss relating to, arising out of or resulting from any of the following:

 

(i)          Subject to the provisions of Section 6, any material breach by Seller of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement or any other Document;

 

(ii)         The operation, ownership or control of the Property prior to Closing, including without limitation, any and all liabilities which relate to events occurring prior to the Closing, regardless of when they are asserted, except for (x) facts disclosed in or pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement, the Diligence Materials, or in the Purchaser Commissioned Reports, but only to the extent such information constitutes Purchaser Knowledge; (y) Assumed Obligations, and (z) obligations, indebtedness or liabilities to the extent of any Adjustment Amount credited to the Purchaser; and

 

(iii)        Claims by any other party claiming to have represented Seller as broker or agent in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(c)          Indemnification by Purchaser. From and after Closing, Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, Affiliates, successors and assigns from and against, and pay or reimburse each of them for and with respect to any Indemnification Loss relating to, arising out of or resulting from any indemnification of the following: 

 

(i)          Any material breach by Purchaser of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement or any other Document;

 

(ii)         The ownership and operation of the Property post-Closing, and the Assumed Obligations.

 

(iii)        Claims by any other party, other than SN, claiming to have represented Purchaser as broker or agent in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(d)          Administration of Indemnification. For purposes of administering the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 18(b) and Section 18(c), the following procedure shall apply:

 

40
 

 

(i)          Whenever a claim shall arise for indemnification under this Section 18, the party entitled to indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give a reasonably prompt written notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) setting forth in reasonable detail, to the extent then available, the facts concerning the nature of such claim and the basis upon which the Indemnified Party believes that it is entitled to indemnification hereunder.

 

(ii)         In the event of any claim for indemnification resulting from or in connection with any claim by a third party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, at its sole expense, either (i) to participate in defending against such claim or (ii) to assume the entire defense with counsel which is selected by it and which is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, provided that no settlement shall be made and no judgment consented to without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If, however, (x) the claim, action, suit or proceeding would, if successful, result in the imposition of damages for which the Indemnifying Party would not be solely responsible, or (y) representation of both parties by the same counsel would otherwise be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, then the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the entire defense and each party shall be entitled to retain counsel who shall cooperate with one another in defending against such claim. In the case of clause (x), the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to bear only that portion of the expense of the Indemnified Party’s counsel that is in proportion to the damages indemnifiable by the Indemnifying Party compared to the total amount of the third-party claim against the Indemnified Party. In the case of clause (y), the Indemnifying Party shall pay all costs of defense of both itself and the actual out-of-pocket costs of the Indemnified Party.

 

(iii)        If the Indemnifying Party does not choose to defend against a claim by a third party, the Indemnified Party may defend in such manner as it deems appropriate or settle the claim (after giving notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party) on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate, and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to periodic reimbursement from the Indemnifying Party of defense expenses incurred and prompt indemnification from the Indemnifying Party in accordance with this Section 18.

 

(iv)        Failure or delay by an Indemnified Party to give a reasonably prompt notice of any claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect an Indemnifying Party’s obligations with respect to the claim, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party can demonstrate actual loss or prejudice as a result of such failure or delay, except that no claim shall be brought after the expiration of the Survival Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties agree that no indemnification right or obligation shall apply to the extent any such Indemnification Loss or expense is paid to an Indemnified Party by an insurance company.

 

(v)         The right to pursue indemnification as set forth in this Section 18 shall survive the Closing hereunder for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Closing (the “Survival Period”).

 

41
 

 

(vi)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) the right to pursue indemnification as set forth in this Section 18 shall be actionable or payable only if valid claims for Losses, if any, collectively aggregate more than TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND and No/100 U.S. Dollars ($25,000.00) (the “Floor”); and (ii) the aggregate maximum liability of the entities comprising the Seller under this Section 18 shall not exceed $1,500,000.00 (the “Cap”); provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply in the case of fraud on the part of Purchaser, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates. In addition, Purchaser shall first seek recovery under any insurance policies, the Title Insurance Policy and other applicable agreements, and Seller shall not be liable to Purchaser to the extent Purchaser’s claim is actually satisfied from any sums recovered from such insurance policies, Title Insurance Policy or other applicable agreements. FINALLY, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY EVER BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OTHER THAN IN THE EVENT OF FRAUD.

 

(vii)       The indemnification provisions in this Section 18 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of any Indemnified Party with respect to any claim for Indemnification Loss arising from or in connection with this Agreement.

 

19.                           Diligence Materials. Seller has delivered or will make available to Purchaser all plans, maps, descriptions, permits, certifications, Licenses, approvals, environmental assessments, environmental audits, and other diligence materials (but not including any appraisals) (the “Diligence Materials”) respecting the Property in Seller's possession or control, which material shall be returned to Seller by Purchaser if Closing is not completed and Purchaser will not retain any copies. For purposes of this Agreement, Diligence Materials shall be deemed to include all Title Commitments, Surveys and results of Tests, including environmental reports and engineering reports relating to the physical condition of the Property, but shall not be deemed to include any appraisals. Purchaser shall make no claim under this Agreement, for breach of representation or warranty, indemnification or otherwise, in respect of a fact, circumstance or condition of which Purchaser has Purchaser Knowledge prior to the Closing, except that the foregoing shall not prevent Purchaser from raising an objection as to any fact, circumstance or condition disclosed in the Title Commitments, Surveys, the Diligence Materials or in the Purchaser Commissioned Reports and shall not prevent Purchaser from exercising any right to terminate this Agreement as provided herein on account of any such fact, circumstance or condition disclosed in the Diligence Materials or in the Purchaser Commissioned Reports whether or not such fact, circumstance or condition is contrary to a representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 19 shall survive the closing of title.

 

20.                           Facsimile and PDF Signatures. The execution of this Agreement and all notices given hereunder and all amendments hereto, may be effected by facsimile signatures or signatures in portable document format (pdf) delivered by electronic mail, all of which shall be treated as originals; provided, however, that the party receiving a document with a facsimile or pdf signature may, by notice to the other, require the prompt delivery of an original signature to evidence and confirm the delivery of the facsimile or pdf signature. Purchaser and Seller each intend to be bound by its respective facsimile transmitted or pdf signature, and is aware that the other party will rely thereon, and each party waives any defenses to the enforcement of the Agreement, and documents, and any Notices delivered by facsimile transmission or transmission by electronic mail of pdf signatures.

 

21.                          Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each such term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

42
 

 

22.                           Calculation of Time Periods. Unless otherwise specified, in computing any period of time described herein, the day of the act or event on which the designated period of time begins to run shall not be included and the last day of the period so computed shall be included, unless such last day is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, in which event the period shall run until the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday.

 

23.                           Like-Kind Exchange. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller may, at Seller’s option, include Seller’s sale of the Property in a like-kind exchange under the Code. Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with Seller and shall execute any documents reasonably required to permit Seller to effect such a like-kind exchange pursuant to the Code, provided that such like-kind exchange shall not delay the Closing or cause Purchaser to incur any additional liability or expense. Seller acknowledges that Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s option, include Purchaser’s acquisition of the Property in a like-kind exchange under the Code. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser and shall execute any documents reasonably required to permit Purchaser to effect such a like-kind exchange pursuant to the Code, provided that such like-kind exchange shall not delay the Closing or cause Seller to incur any additional liability or expense.

 

24.                           Certificate of Occupancy; etc. If any certificate of occupancy, certificate of continued occupancy, site plan waiver, smoke detector certificate or other approval is necessary to legally convey title to the Real Property, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such approval at its sole cost and expense prior to the Closing Date. If any alterations or improvements to the Real Property are required in order to obtain any such certificate or approval, then Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform such alterations and improvements prior to the Closing Date, and Seller shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date for up to thirty (30) days in order to perform such alterations and improvements. The costs and expenses of performing any alterations or improvements for any Real Property shall be the sole responsibility of the Seller. The provisions of this Section 24 shall survive the Closing.

 

25.                          Tax Sale Certificates. Seller represents and warrants that WM Acquisitions, LLC (“WMA”), an Affiliate of Seller, has good and marketable title (subject to liens in connection with the existing mortgage financing) to the following tax sale certificates encumbering the Adjacent Land: Tax Sale Certificate No. 05-0074; Tax Sale Certificate No. 05-0075; Tax Sale Certificate No. 05-0076; Tax Sale Certificate No. 2007-0058; Tax Sale Certificate No. 2010-0112; Tax Sale Certificate No. 2010-0115; and Tax Sale Certificate No. 2010-0116 (collectively, the “Tax Sale Certificates”), which are the subject of tax sale certificate foreclosure actions by WMA currently pending in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division, Docket nos. F-007892-12, F-007893-12, F-007894-12 and F-007895-12 (collectively, the “Tax Foreclosure Actions”). Seller represents and warrants that it has paid all outstanding taxes on the Adjacent Lands as of the date of execution of this Agreement, and will continue to pay all taxes that accrue on the Adjacent Lands up to and including the quarterly taxes for the quarter during which Closing occurs. It is the intention of the parties to have title to the Adjacent Land prior to Closing and in that regard, Seller shall prosecute the pending Tax Foreclosure Actions as promptly as permitted by Rules of Court and Orders of the Court having jurisdiction, Seller agrees time is of the essence. At the Closing, Seller shall cause WMA to (i) if final judgments have not yet been entered in the Tax Foreclosure Actions, assign to Purchaser the Tax Sale Certificates, and its rights to proceed in the Tax Foreclosure Actions, pursuant to an Assignment of Tax Sale Certificates in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-2; and (ii) if final judgments have been entered in one or more of the Tax Foreclosure Actions, convey the Adjacent Land to Purchaser by Deed in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C. Seller shall manage the Tax Foreclosure Actions on behalf of Purchaser after the Closing, and, except for the costs expressly required to be borne by Seller under this Section 25, Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller (and its Affiliates) harmless from any claims, demands, costs, damages, losses or causes of action with respect to the Tax Sale Certificates or the Tax Foreclosure Actions after the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall assume at Closing all risk in connection with the completion of the Tax Foreclosure Actions on the condition that the Tax Foreclosure Actions have been properly filed and prosecuted as of Closing and the Title Company issues a certificate of regularity as to the Tax Foreclosure Actions. Purchaser shall pay all attorneys’ fees and disbursements in connection with the Tax Foreclosure Actions incurred after the Closing, up to $25,000.00, and Seller shall pay all attorneys’ fees and disbursements in connection with the Tax Foreclosure Actions incurred after the Closing in excess of $25,000.00. The provisions of this Section 25 shall survive the Closing.

 

43
 

 

26.                           City Agreement and PILOT Agreement. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller is a party to that certain Sale and Assignment Agreement with the City of Woodbury (the “City”), dated March 7, 2012 (the “City Agreement”) and that certain Assignment of Financial Agreement from the City, dated March 30, 2012 (the “PILOT Assignment”) pursuant to which the City assigned to Seller a certain PILOT Agreement (as defined in the PILOT Assignment, the “PILOT Agreement”). Seller shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest in the City Agreement and the Pilot Agreement pursuant to an Assignment of City Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-3, Assignment of Pilot Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-4; or such other form as may be acceptable to the City. Purchaser acknowledges that: (i) the consent of the City is required under the terms of the City Agreement and the PILOT Agreement to the assignment of the PILOT Agreement; (ii) under applicable legal requirements, Purchaser may be required to organize as an urban renewal entity in order to become a party to the PILOT Agreement; and (iii) the conveyance of certain tax sale certificates from the City to WMA, as contemplated by the City Agreement, has already taken place, and such tax sale certificates are included in the Tax Sale Certificates to be conveyed to Purchaser pursuant to Section 25. In the event that Seller has not obtained the consent of the City to the assignment of the PILOT Agreement to Purchaser with respect to the Adjacent Land prior to the Closing, then Seller and Purchaser shall continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue such assignments until the City consents or irrevocably rejects such assignment, in which event the Seller shall have no further obligation to pursue the assignment and no liability to the Purchaser for the failure to complete such assignments. The provisions of this Section 26 shall survive the closing of title.

Form of Guaranty

 

GUARANTY OF agreement of sale

 

THIS GUARANTY OF AGREEMENT OF SALE, dated as of __________, 2013 (the “Guaranty”), is executed by CAPITAL HEALTH GROUP, LLC (“Guarantor”), and extended to Woodbury Mews III, LLC, Woodbury Mews IV, LLC, and Woodbury Mews Land Parcels, LLC, each a Delaware limited liability company (individually and collectively, the “Purchaser”), for the benefit of THREE WM REAL ESTATE, LLC, THREE WM OPERATING, LLC, FOUR WM REAL ESTATE, LLC, and FOUR WM OPERATING, LLC, each a Delaware limited liability company (each a “Seller” and collectively “Sellers”).

 

RECITALS:

 

WHEREAS, Purchaser has agreed to purchase, and Sellers have agreed to sell and cause to be transferred to Purchaser, an assisted living facility and independent living facility located in Woodbury, New Jersey (the “Facilities”), described in the Purchase Agreement, and real and personal property associated therewith pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Agreement of Sale between Seller and Purchaser dated June __, 2013 (the “Purchase Agreement”).

 

WHEREAS, without this Guaranty, Purchaser would be unwilling to consummate the transactions contemplated in the Purchase Agreement.

 

WHEREAS, because of the direct benefit to Guarantor, as a holder of direct or indirect beneficial ownership interests in each Seller, from the transaction described in the Purchase Agreement, and as an inducement to Purchaser to enter into the Purchase Agreement, Guarantor agree to guarantee to Purchaser certain obligations of Sellers pursuant to the Purchase Agreement as set forth herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the benefits received by Guarantor as a result of the Purchaser’s execution of and performance under the Purchase Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by Guarantor, Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

 

1.          Guaranty of Payment. Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees to Purchaser the payment, when due, of all Seller Obligations. For the purposes hereof, the term “Seller Obligations” shall include any and all payment, reimbursement, and indemnity obligations of Seller to Purchaser pursuant to Section 18 and Section 28 of the Purchase Agreement, as such Seller Obligations may be modified, amended, increased, or extended from time to time by agreement of the Sellers. The guaranty of Guarantor, as set forth in this section, is a guaranty of payment.

 

 
 

 

2.          Subordination. All rights and claims of Guarantor now or hereafter existing including, without limitation, rights to distributions or dividends from the Seller (collectively the “Guarantor Claims”) against Seller or any of Seller’s property which Seller now owns or shall acquire in the future or hereafter existing shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Seller Obligations to Purchaser by Seller; provided, however that nothing herein shall limit Sellers’ ability to pay Guarantor Claims in the ordinary course of business.

 

3.          Guarantor Waivers. Guarantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert or take advantage of (a) any right or claim of right to cause a marshalling of any of Sellers’ assets or the assets of any other party now or hereafter held as security for the Seller Obligations; (b) any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Seller Obligations, or any Seller or any other person or entity, or the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of any Seller or Guarantor, or the failure of Purchaser to file or enforce a claim against the estate (either in administration, bankruptcy, or any other proceeding) of any Seller or any other person or entity; (c) any action or non-action on the part of any other person whomsoever; (d) any defense based upon an election of remedies by Purchaser which destroys or otherwise impairs any subrogation rights of Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Seller Obligations or the right of Guarantor to proceed against Seller or any other guarantor for reimbursement, or both; (e) any defense based upon failure of Purchaser to commence an action against any Seller; (f) any defense based upon acceptance of this Guaranty by Purchaser; (g) any defense based upon the invalidity or unenforceability of the Purchase Agreement or any of the Seller Obligations; (h) any defense based upon the failure of Purchaser to perfect any security or to extend or renew the perfection of any security; and (i) any other legal or equitable defenses whatsoever to which Guarantor might otherwise be entitled, other than to the extent related to the underlying merits of whether or not a Seller Obligation exists.

 

4.          Consent to Purchaser’s Actions or Inactions. Guarantor consents that Purchaser may, at any time and from time to time, before or after any default by any Seller pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, without reducing the liability of Guarantor hereunder and with or without further notice to or assent from Guarantor:

 

(a)          Waive or delay the exercise of any of its rights or remedies against any Seller or any other person or entity, including without limitation, Guarantor guaranteeing payment of any portion of the Seller Obligations; notwithstanding any waiver or delay, Purchaser shall not be precluded from further exercise of any of its rights, powers or privileges expressly provided for herein or otherwise available, it being understood that all such rights and remedies are cumulative;

 

(b)          Waive or extend the time of any Seller’s or any other guarantor’s performance of any and all terms, provisions and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement;

 

(c)          Release any Seller or any other person or entity, including without limitation any other guarantor guaranteeing the payment of any portion of the Seller Obligations, from their obligations to repay all or any portion of the Seller Obligations;

 

 
 

 

(d)          Proceed against Guarantor without first proceeding against or joining any Seller or any other guarantor guaranteeing payment of any portion of the Seller Obligations; and

 

(e)          Generally deal with any Seller or other person or party as Purchaser may see fit.

 

Guarantor shall remain bound under this Guaranty notwithstanding any such exchange, release, surrender, subordination, waiver (whether or not such waiver is oral or written), delay, proceeding, renewal, extension, modification, act or failure to act, or other dealings or events described in Subsections 4(a) through (e) above, even if done without notice or consent from Guarantor.

 

5.          Waiver of Notice. Guarantor waives all notices whatsoever with respect to the Purchase Agreement, this Guaranty, and the Seller Obligations, including, but not limited to, notice of:

 

(a)          Purchaser’s acceptance of this Guaranty or its intention to act, or its action, in reliance hereon;

 

(b)          Presentment and demand for payment of any Seller Obligations or any portion thereof;

 

(c)          Protest and notice of dishonor or non-payment with respect to any Seller Obligations or any portion thereof;

 

(d)          Any default by any Seller or any pledgor, grantor of security, or any other guarantor guaranteeing the payment of any portion of the Seller Obligations;

 

(e)          Any other notices to which Guarantor may otherwise be entitled; and

 

(f)          Any demand for payment under this Guaranty.

 

6.          Primary Liability of Guarantor. Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty may be enforced by Purchaser without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any other security or collateral, and Guarantor hereby waives any rights to require Purchaser to proceed against any Seller or any other guarantor or to require Purchaser to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right, except as otherwise provided in the Purchase Agreement. Guarantor further agrees that Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnity whatsoever, nor any right of recourse to security for the Seller Obligations against any Seller or any other guarantor, unless and until all of the Seller Obligations have been paid in full to Purchaser or otherwise satisfied to Purchaser’s satisfaction. Guarantor further agrees that nothing contained herein shall prevent Purchaser from exercising any other rights available to it under the Purchase Agreement or any instrument of security if any Seller fails to timely perform the obligations of any Seller thereunder, and the exercise of the aforesaid rights shall not constitute a discharge of any of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder; it being the purpose and intent of Guarantor that Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Neither Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by an impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of any Seller or any other guarantor or by reason of any Seller’s or any other guarantor’s bankruptcy, insolvency, death, or dissolution.

 

 
 

 

7.          Subrogation Rights. Guarantor irrevocably waives any present or future right to which Guarantor is or becomes entitled to be subrogated to Purchaser’s rights against any Seller or to seek contribution, reimbursement, indemnification, or the like from any Seller on account of this Guaranty or to assert any other claim or right of action against any Seller on account of, arising under, or relating to this Guaranty.

 

8.          Cost of Enforcement. In the event that the Seller Obligations or this Guaranty are not paid when due, or should it be necessary for Purchaser to enforce any other of its rights under the Purchase Agreement or this Guaranty, Guarantor will pay to Purchaser, in addition to payment of all Seller Obligations, all third party costs of collection or enforcement, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, paralegals’ fees, legal assistants’ fees, costs and expenses, whether incurred with respect to collection, litigation, bankruptcy proceedings, interpretation, dispute, negotiation, trial, appeal, defense of actions instituted by a third party against Purchaser arising out of or related to a Seller Obligation under the Purchase Agreement, enforcement of any judgment based on this Guaranty or otherwise related to a Seller Obligation, whether or not a suit to collect such amounts or to enforce such rights is brought or, if brought, is prosecuted to judgment.

 

9.          Term of Guaranty; Warranties. Notwithstanding any statute of limitations applicable hereto, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect (i) with respect to the Seller Obligations under Section 18 of the Purchase Agreement, for eighteen months following the date hereof and (ii) with respect to the Seller Obligations under Section 28 of the Purchase Agreement, until the termination of such Seller Obligations pursuant to the terms of said Section 28; provided, however, that if any claim for Seller Obligations has been made and remains outstanding, then this Guaranty shall not terminate until such claim for Seller Obligations is fully paid or otherwise finally resolved. This Guaranty covers the Seller Obligations whether presently outstanding or arising subsequent to the date hereof. Guarantor warrants and represents to Purchaser, (i) that this Guaranty is binding upon and enforceable against Guarantor and its successors and assigns in accordance with its terms, (ii) that the execution and delivery of this Guaranty does not violate any applicable laws or constitute a breach of any agreement to which Guarantor is a party, and (iii) that except as may have been specifically disclosed to Purchaser in writing, there is no litigation, claim, action or proceeding pending, or, to the knowledge of such Guarantor, threatened against such Guarantor which would materially adversely affect its ability to fulfill its obligations hereunder. Guarantor agrees to promptly inform Purchaser of the adverse determination of any litigation, claim, action or proceeding or the institution of any litigation, claim, action or proceeding against Guarantor which does or could materially adversely affect its ability to fulfill its obligations hereunder.

 

 
 

 

10.         Additional Liability of Guarantor. If Guarantor is or becomes liable for any indebtedness owing by any Seller to Purchaser by endorsement or otherwise than under this Guaranty, such liability shall not be in any manner impaired or reduced hereby but shall have all and the same force and effect it would have had if this Guaranty had not existed and Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall not be in any manner impaired, reduced, enhanced or expanded thereby.

 

11.         Cumulative Rights. Except as otherwise provided in the Purchase Agreement, all rights of Purchaser hereunder or otherwise arising under the Purchase Agreement or any documents executed in connection with or as security for the Seller Obligations are separate and cumulative and may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently, or not pursued without affecting, reducing or limiting any other right of Purchaser and without affecting, reducing, or impairing the liability of Guarantor.

 

12.         Pronouns; Captions; Severability. The pronouns used in this instrument shall be construed as masculine, feminine or neuter as the occasion may require. Use of the singular includes the plural, and vice versa. Captions are for reference only and in no way limit the terms of this Guaranty. Invalidation of any one or more of the provisions of this Guaranty shall in no way affect any of the other provisions hereof, which shall remain in full force and effect. Use of the term “include” or “including” is always without limitation. “Person” or “party” means any natural person or artificial entity having legal capacity.

 

13.         Purchaser Assigns. This Guaranty is intended for and shall inure to the benefit of Purchaser and its successors or assignees, and each and every reference herein to Purchaser shall include and refer to each and every successor or assignee of Purchaser at any time holding or owning any part of or interest in any part of the Seller Obligations. Guarantor expressly waives notice of transfer or assignment, and agrees that the failure of the Purchaser to give notice will not affect the liabilities of Guarantor hereunder.

 

14.         Application of Payments. Purchaser may apply any payments received by it from any source against that portion of the Seller Obligations it deems appropriate in such priority and fashion as it may deem appropriate.

FORM OF AUDIT LETTER

 

[DATE]

 

[ACCOUNTING FIRM]

[ADDRESS]

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We are providing this letter in connection with your audit of the balance sheet(s) of the [PROPERTY OR PORTFOLIO] (“the Property”) as of [REPORTING PERIODS] and the related combined statements of operations, owners’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, for the purpose of expressing an opinion as to whether these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position, and results of operations of the Property in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Certain representations in this letter are described as being limited to matters that are material. Items are considered material, regardless of size, if they involve an omission or misstatement of accounting information that, in the light of surrounding circumstances, makes it probable that the judgment of a reasonable person relying on the information would be changed or influenced by the omission or misstatement.

 

We confirm, to the best of our knowledge and belief, the following representations made to you during your audit:

 

1.          The financial statements referred to above are fairly presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

2.          We have made available to you:

 

a.All financial records and related data.

 

b.All minutes of the meetings of boards, or summaries of actions of recent meetings for which minutes have not yet been prepared.

 

3.          There are no:

 

a.Violations or possible violations of laws or regulations, whose effects should be considered for disclosure in the combined financial statements or as a basis for recording a loss contingency.

 

b.We are not aware of any pending or threatened litigation, claims, or assessments or unasserted claims or assessments that are required to be accrued or disclosed in the financial statements in accordance with FASB ASC 450, Contingencies, and we have not consulted a lawyer concerning litigation, claims, or assessments.

 

c.Other liabilities or gain or loss contingencies that are required to be accrued or disclosed by FASB ASC 450, Contingencies.

 

d.Material transactions that have not been properly recorded in the accounting records underlying the financial statements.

 

 
 

 

e.Events that have occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date and through the date of this letter that would require adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements, except as disclosed.

 

4.          There are no uncorrected financial statement misstatements.

 

5.          We acknowledge our responsibility for the design and implementation of programs and controls to prevent, deter and detect fraud. We understand that the term "fraud" includes misstatements arising from fraudulent financial reporting and misstatements arising from misappropriation of assets.

 

6.          We have no knowledge of any fraud or suspected fraud affecting the entity involving:

 

a.Management

 

b.Employees who have significant roles in internal control over financial reporting, or

 

c.Others where the fraud could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

7.          We have no knowledge of any allegations of fraud or suspected fraud affecting the entity received in communications from employees, former employees, analysts, regulators, short sellers, or others.

 

8.          The Property has no plans or intentions that may materially affect the carrying value or classification of assets and liabilities.

 

9.          We have no knowledge of any officer or trustee of the Property, or any other person acting under the direction thereof, having taken any action to fraudulently influence, coerce, manipulate or mislead you during your audit.

 

10.         The following have been properly recorded or disclosed in the financial statements:

 

a.Related party transactions including sales, purchases, loans, transfers, leasing arrangements, guarantees, ongoing contractual commitments and amounts receivable from or payable to related parties.

 

The term "related party" refers to affiliates of the enterprise; entities for which investments in their equity securities would, absent the election of the fair value option under FASB ASC 825, Financial Instruments, be required to be accounted for by the equity method by the enterprise; trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; principal owners of the enterprise; its management; members of the immediate families of principal owners of the enterprise and its management; and other parties with which the enterprise may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. Another party also is a related party if it can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

b.Guarantees, whether written or oral, under which the Property is contingently liable, including guarantee contracts and indemnification agreements pursuant to FASB ASC 460, Guarantees.

 

c.Significant estimates and material concentrations known to management that are required to be disclosed in accordance with FASB ASC 275, Risks and Uncertainties.

 

 
 

 

Significant estimates are estimates at the balance sheet date, which could change materially within the next year. Concentrations refer to volumes of business, revenues, available sources of supply, or markets or geographic areas for which it is reasonably possible that events could occur which would significantly disrupt normal finances within the next year.

 

d.Significant common ownership or management control relationships requiring disclosure.

 

11.         The Property has satisfactory title to all owned assets, and there are no liens or encumbrances on such assets, nor has any asset been pledged as collateral, except as disclosed.

 

12.         The Property has complied with all aspects of contractual agreements that would have a material effect on the combined financial statements in the event of noncompliance.

 

13.         There have been no:

 

a.Instances of fraud involving others that could have a material effect on the adjustments.

 

b.Allegations, either written or oral, of misstatements or other misapplication of accounting principles in the Property’s adjustments that have not been disclosed to you in writing.

 

c.Allegations, either written or oral, of deficiencies in internal control that could have a material effect on the Property’s adjustments that have not been disclosed to you in writing.

 

d.False statements affecting the Property’s adjustments made to you, our internal auditors, or other auditors who have audited entities under our control upon whose work you may be relying in connection with your audit.

 

14.         There are no material transactions that have not been properly recorded in the accounting records underlying the adjustments.

 

15.         Receivables reported in the combined financial statements represent valid claims against debtors for sales or other charges arising on or before the balance sheet date and have been appropriately reduced to their estimated net realizable value.

 

16.         The Portfolio has appropriately grouped long-lived assets together for purposes of assessing impairment in accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. We have reviewed long-lived assets, including amortizable intangible assets, to be held and used, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances have indicated that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable. Provision has been made for any material adjustments to long-lived assets including amortizable intangible assets.

 

17.         We are responsible for making the fair value measurements and disclosures included in the combined financial statements in accordance with FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, including determining the fair value of assets and liabilities for which there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity in relation to the normal market activity for those assets or liabilities (or similar assets or liabilities) or for which transactions are deemed not orderly. As part of fulfilling this responsibility, we have established an accounting and financial reporting process for determining the fair value measurements and disclosures, in accordance with the fair value techniques included in FASB ASC 820, considered the appropriateness of valuation techniques, adequately supported any significant assumptions used, and ensured that the presentation and disclosure of the fair value measurements are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles including the disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 820. We believe the assumptions and techniques used by us, including those used by specialists engaged by us, are in accordance with the definition of fair value in FASB ASC 820 and the disclosures adequately describe the level of the inputs used in the fair value measurement, in accordance with the fair value hierarchy in FASB ASC 820.

 

 
 

 

18.         The Portfolio is responsible for determining the fair value of financial instruments as required by FASB ASC 825, Financial Instruments. The amounts disclosed represent the Portfolio’s best estimate of fair value of financial instruments required to be disclosed under the FASB ASC 825. The Portfolio also has disclosed the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments and any changes to those methods and significant assumptions, if any, as required by FASB ASC 825.

 

19.         Uncertain tax positions have been accounted for in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes.

 

Further, we confirm that we are responsible for the fair presentation in the financial statements of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Very truly yours,

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

 

Seller and Purchaser are parties to that certain Agreement of Sale, dated [________] (the “Contract”), relating to certain real property known and located at [________________].

 

Section [__] of the Contract provides that simultaneously with the conveyance of the Property to Purchaser, Purchaser shall post an escrow (the “Tax Escrow”) required by the New Jersey Division of Taxation (the “Division”) on Seller’s behalf. This Agreement shall govern the terms of such escrow and the disbursement of amounts from such escrow.

 

Capitalized terms used in this Agreement, which are not defined in this Agreement, shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Contract.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.          Tax Escrow Funds. Simultaneously herewith, Purchaser has deposited the sum of $[___________], which amount has been withheld from the Purchase Price, to be held by Escrow Agent as the Tax Escrow, in accordance with the provisions hereof. [Simultaneously herewith, Seller has deposited the sum of $[___________], which amount represents the difference between the amount of the Deficiency and the Purchase Price, to be held by Escrow Agent as the Tax Escrow, in accordance with the provisions hereof.] Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrowed Sums (as hereinafter defined) in an interest bearing trust account at [INSERT an FDIC insured banking institution authorized to do business in New Jersey, with offices located in New Jersey, which is acceptable to Seller and Purchaser]. As used herein, the term “Escrowed Sums” shall mean the amount of the initial deposit hereunder, as increased by any interest earned thereon and as decreased by any sums which have been disbursed from escrow in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

2.          Payment to Division of Taxation. Within five (5) days after receipt from the Division, Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall forward to Escrow Agent and the other party hereunder a copy of any written instructions of the Division regarding the disbursement of Escrowed Sums (“Disbursement Instructions”). No sooner than five (5) days after receipt, Escrow Agent shall disburse all or a portion of the Escrowed Sums in accordance with such Disbursements Instructions.

 

 
 

 

3.          Release of Funds to Seller. Within five (5) days after receipt from the Division, Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall forward to Escrow Agent and the other party hereunder a copy of any written confirmation (“Release Authorization”) from the Division that the Deficiency has been paid in full or that Purchaser has no further liability for the Deficiency. Upon receipt of such Release Authorization, Escrow Agent shall release to Seller any Escrowed Sums which remain in escrow (and which the Division has not required to be paid to the Division pursuant to any Disbursement Instructions or Release Authorization); provided, however, that Escrow Agent shall not release any Escrowed Sums to Seller until at least ten (10) days after Escrow Agent receives the Release Authorization, nor thereafter if Escrow Agent shall have received written notice of objection from Purchaser within such ten (10) day period.

 

4.          Objection to Disbursement. If Escrow Agent shall receive any objection from Purchaser to the release of any Escrowed Sums to Seller pursuant to Paragraph 3, then Escrow Agent shall release any undisputed amount and shall continue to hold the disputed amount in escrow under the terms and conditions hereof, until the earlier of (a) receipt by Escrow Agent of joint instructions signed by Seller and Purchaser regarding the release or disbursement of the disputed sums, or (b) receipt by Escrow Agent of a final, unappealable judgment, order or decree from a court of competent jurisdiction instructing Escrow Agent as to release and/or disbursement of the disputed sum.

 

5.          Reliance; Duties. Escrow Agent may act in reliance on any writing or instrument or signature which it believes to be genuine, and may assume the validity and accuracy of any statement or assertion contained in such a writing or instrument and may assume that any person purporting to give any writing, notice, advice or instruction in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so.

 

6.          Dispute. In the event of any dispute between the parties regarding the Escrowed Sums, Escrow Agent, at its option, may disregard all instructions received and either (i) hold the Escrowed Sums until the dispute is mutually resolved and Escrow Agent is advised of this fact in writing by both Seller and Purchaser, or Escrow Agent is otherwise instructed by a final unappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, or (ii) deposit the Escrowed Sums into a court of competent jurisdiction (whereupon Escrow Agent shall be released and relieved of any and all liability and obligations hereunder from and after the date of such deposit).

 

7.          Uncertainty. In the event Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive conflicting instructions, claims or demands from the parties hereto, or instructions which conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Contract, Escrow Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated) to refrain from taking any action other than to keep safely the Escrowed Sums until Escrow Agent shall be instructed otherwise in writing signed by both Seller and Purchaser, or by final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

8.          Indemnity. Seller and Purchaser shall jointly and severally hold Escrow Agent harmless against any loss, damage, liability or expense incurred by Escrow Agent, arising out of or in connection with its entering into this Agreement and the carrying out of its duties hereunder, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability or participating in any legal proceeding. Escrow Agent may consult with counsel of its choice, and shall have full and complete authorization and protection for any action taken or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion of such counsel.

 

 
 

 

9.          Resignation. Escrow Agent may resign at will and be discharged from its duties or obligations hereunder by giving notice in writing of such resignation specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect; provided, however, that (i) prior to the effective date of such resignation a substitute escrow agent is approved in writing by Seller and Purchaser, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or (ii) Escrow Agent shall deposit the Escrowed Sums with a court of competent jurisdiction. After such resignation, Escrow Agent shall have no further duties or liability hereunder.

 

10.         Termination. Purchaser and Seller, together, shall have the right to terminate the appointment of Escrow Agent hereunder by giving to it notice of such termination, specifying the date upon which such termination shall take effect and designating a replacement Escrow Agent, who shall sign a counterpart of this Agreement. Upon demand of such successor Escrow Agent, the Escrowed Sums shall be turned over and delivered to such successor Escrow Agent, who shall thereupon be bound by all of the provisions hereof. Escrow Agent’s agreements and obligations hereunder shall terminate and Escrow Agent shall be discharged from further duties and obligations hereunder upon final payment of the Escrowed Sums in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

11.         Continued Representation of a Party. Notwithstanding that Escrow Agent is acting as an escrow agent for the Escrowed Sums, and, further, notwithstanding any subsequent dispute which may arise between the parties related to this Agreement, the Contract, the Escrowed Sums or otherwise, if Escrow Agent is legal counsel to a party hereunder, each party agrees that Escrow Agent may continue to represent such party as legal counsel in connection with this Agreement, the Contract and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and/or with respect to any dispute or litigation arising out of the Contract or this Agreement.
