FORMATION AND MEMBERSHIP INTEREST PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS FORMATION AND MEMBERSHIP INTEREST PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of August 24, 2020 (this “Agreement”), is entered into among Welltower Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Welltower”), Vida MOB Portfolio Co-Invest LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Investor”) and Vida JV LLC (“Holdings”). Welltower, Holdings and Investor are sometimes referred to herein as the “Parties” and each individually as a “Party”.

A. Welltower indirectly owns, either in fee simple or in ground leasehold estates, a portfolio comprised of (i) twenty-two (22) medical office buildings, consisting of fifteen (15) Owned Facilities and seven (7) Leased Facilities; and (ii) the Parking Lot (such Facilities and the Parking Lot, the “Portfolio”).

B. Welltower and Investor desire to indirectly own or lease, as applicable, the Portfolio, or as many Facilities therein as may be transferred, 15% and 85%, respectively.

C. Holdings was formed solely for purposes of the Transaction, and Welltower currently holds all of its Membership Interests such that Holdings is currently treated as a “disregarded entity” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

D. Welltower has formed, or prior to each relevant Closing will form each PropCo. Prior to the Initial Closing (and subject to the satisfaction by Investor of its obligations under Article II), Welltower will effect a reorganization such that (i) each Owned Facility or Leased Facility (and its respective Ground Lease) set forth on Exhibit M or listed in a notice provided to Investor (the “Initial Closing Notice”) at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Initial Closing (each such Facility an “Initial Facility”) is owned by the PropCo set forth opposite its name on Section 1.01(a) of the Welltower Disclosure Letter and (ii) each such PropCo is owned by Holdings (collectively, the “Reorganization”). Any Facility not included in the Initial Closing Notice may be included in a subsequent notice provided by Welltower to Investor (the “Subsequent Closing Notice”) at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the applicable Subsequent Closing.

E. In connection with the Initial Closing, Holdings and its Subsidiaries will enter into the Debt Financing, and Holdings will issue to Investor an 85% Membership Interest in Holdings in exchange for the Initial Capital Contribution.

F. At the Initial Closing Holdings will distribute to Welltower the net proceeds received from the Debt Financing and the issuance of the Membership Interest to Investor.

G. In connection with each Subsequent Closing, the Parties will make the capital contributions and cause the appropriate Welltower Subsidiaries to take the actions set forth in Section 2.09.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements contained herein, the Parties agree as follows:

AGREEMENTS

Section 2.01 Consideration.

(a) Membership Interest Purchase. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, at the Initial Closing, Investor agrees to purchase from Holdings, and Holdings hereby agrees to issue and sell to Investor, an eighty five percent (85%) Membership Interest in Holdings, the consideration for which shall be the total amount of the Initial Capital Contribution, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 7.2(b) of the Holdings LLC Agreement.

Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, on the Effective Date, Investor shall deposit with the Escrow Agent the amount of Thirteen Million US Dollars ($13,000,000) (the “Deposit”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds as provided in the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall hold the Deposit in an interest-bearing account maintained at Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., in such manner that the Deposit is, to the extent feasible, protected by federal deposit insurance. The Deposit and any interest earned thereon is hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Earnest Money.” The Earnest Money shall be held and delivered by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

(a) Payment of Initial Capital Contribution on the Initial Closing Date. Not later than 2:00 PM Eastern time on the Escrow Date, subject to the fulfillment, or waiver by Investor, of each condition to the obligation of Investor to consummate the Transaction (treating the Escrow Date as the Initial Closing Date for all purposes hereunder), Investor shall (i) deposit immediately available funds in an amount equal to Investor’s Initial Capital Contribution under the Holdings LLC Agreement (less the Earnest Money, all of which shall be applied as a credit against the amount of the Initial Capital Contribution due from Investor on the Initial Closing Date) plus Investor’s share of any closing costs by wire transfer to the Escrow Agent and (ii) execute and deposit the Transaction Documents to which it is a party with the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall transfer all such funds to Welltower on the Initial Closing Date.

(b) Welltower Guaranty. The Parties have agreed that any Shortfall Payment (as defined in the Holdings LLC Agreement) (reduced but not below zero for any Excess Repayment (as defined in the Holdings LLC Agreement) in respect thereof) shall be characterized on the books and records of the Parties and of Holdings as a proportionate reimbursement of a portion of Investor’s Initial Capital Contribution hereunder resulting in a purchase price reduction as described in the Holdings LLC Agreement to Welltower directly, in each case, in accordance with Section 7.2(b) of the Holdings LLC Agreement. This Section 2.02(b) shall survive until the second anniversary of the Initial Closing Date (together with such additional period of time as may be necessary or required to effectuate the payment of the Shortfall Payment or Excess Repayment).

Section 2.03 Welltower Contributions. Not later than 2:00 PM Eastern time on the Escrow Date, subject to the fulfillment, or waiver by Welltower, of each condition to the obligation of Welltower to consummate the Transaction (treating the Escrow Date as the Initial Closing Date for purposes of determining the satisfaction of such conditions), including without limitation the performance and satisfaction by Investor of its obligations under Section 2.02, (i) Welltower shall execute and deposit the Transaction Documents to which it is a party with the Escrow Agent, (ii) Welltower shall cause Holdings and its Subsidiaries to execute and deposit each of the Transaction Documents to which each, respectively, is a party, with the Escrow Agent, and (iii) Welltower shall and shall cause Holdings and its Subsidiaries to effect the Reorganization.

Section 2.04 Initial Closing. On the Initial Closing Date, subject only to the satisfaction of the conditions in Sections 5.01, 5.02(d) and 5.03(f), (i) the Escrow Agent shall deliver copies of each of the Transaction Documents executed by each of the parties thereto to each of the Parties, (ii) the Escrow Agent shall release the Initial Capital Contribution to Welltower and Investor’s share of closing costs previously paid or payable by Welltower (as shown on the Closing Statement), if any, to Welltower, (iii) Holdings shall issue and deliver to Investor an 85% Membership Interest in Holdings (iv) Investor shall consummate each of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents to be consummated by Investor at the Initial Closing, (v) Welltower shall consummate each of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents to be consummated by Welltower at the Initial Closing and (vi) Welltower shall cause its Subsidiaries to consummate, as applicable, each of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents to be consummated by each such Subsidiary at the Initial Closing.

Section 2.05 Other Agreements among the Parties and Holdings and its Subsidiaries. Except as otherwise set forth herein, on the Escrow Date or the Initial Closing Date, as applicable, the Parties shall, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to comply with the provisions of this Article II, to the extent applicable, and to effect the Transaction, including the payments contemplated by the Sources and Uses Table. No later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Escrow Date, the Parties will agree upon a list (the “Subsequent Consent Exhibit”) of those Facilities in the Portfolio that are not Initial Facilities, including Excluded Facilities, (each such Facility a “Subsequent Facility”), taking into account that any Facility that forms part of a set of Grouped Facilities shall only be included in the Portfolio once all Facilities forming part of such set can be included in the Portfolio.

Section 2.06 Closing Transactions; Extensions. The initial closing (the “Initial Closing”) shall take place on the Initial Closing Date remotely via the exchange of executed documents and other deliverables by electronic transmission and/or facsimile via an escrow through the office of the Escrow Agent, or at such other time or place as the Parties may mutually agree in their sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) if as of the Escrow Date, the Ground Lessor Estoppel Certificate Condition or the Space Tenant Estoppel Certificate Condition has not been satisfied or Welltower has not obtained any waiver, consent, amendment or other agreement referred to in Section 2.07 that it is then seeking to obtain, either Party shall have the right to adjourn the Escrow Date (by providing written notice to the other Party of such adjournment) to a date that is no later than thirty (30) days after the initial Escrow Date in order to satisfy such conditions or obtain such waiver, consent amendment or other agreement; further, so long as Welltower is actively seeking to satisfy the Ground Lessor Estoppel Certificate Condition or the Space Tenant Estoppel Certificate Condition or to obtain any such waiver, consent amendment or other agreement, either Party shall have the right to adjourn the Escrow Date two (2) additional times for a period of up to thirty (30) days per adjournment (by providing written notice to the other Party of such adjournment), and (B) if the conditions to the Debt Financing (including any alternate financing) have not been satisfied, either Party shall have the right to adjourn the Escrow Date (by providing written notice to the other Party of such adjournment) to a date that is no later than thirty (30) days after the initial Escrow Date in order to satisfy such conditions. Further, so long as either Party is actively seeking to consummate the Debt Financing, either Party shall have the right to adjourn the Escrow Date two additional times for a period of up to thirty (30) days per adjournment. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to the conditions set forth in this paragraph, the Parties shall have the right to adjourn the Escrow Date, up to three times for up to thirty (30) days each time for a total of up to ninety (90) days. In all events, the Initial Closing Date shall occur the Business Day following the Escrow Date.

Section 2.07 Excluded Facilities. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, but in all cases subject to Sections 2.09, 4.02 and 5.03(h):

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Welltower may include any such Leased Facility so excluded in a Subsequent Closing, so long as any such amendment or recognition agreement is entered into on or before the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to such Subsequent Closing.

(f) Tenant Purchase Rights. Section 2.07(f) of the Welltower Disclosure Letter lists each Facility with respect to which a Space Lease applicable thereto provides the Space Tenant that is a party thereto the right to purchase such Facility (or an interest therein), either pursuant to a right of first offer, right of first refusal, or other form of purchase option, as a result of certain transfers to be effected by the Transaction (the “Space Tenant Purchase Rights”). Any such Facility shall not be (i) contributed to any of the Welltower Subsidiaries on or before the Escrow Date, (ii) included in the Transaction, or (iii) considered one of the Facilities for purposes of this Agreement, unless, on or before the Escrow Date and in accordance with the applicable Space Lease, the Space Tenant that is a party to the Space Lease for such Facility provides to a Welltower Entity such tenant’s written waiver (or its waiver is deemed given) of such rights with respect to the transfer at issue. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Welltower may include any such Leased Facility so excluded in a Subsequent Closing, so long as such waiver is obtained (or deemed obtained) on or before the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to such Subsequent Closing.

(g) Title Objection. In the event that Investor elects to terminate this Agreement with respect to a Facility in accordance with, the terms and conditions of Section 4.01(f), then such Facility shall not be (i) contributed to any Welltower Subsidiary on or before the Escrow Date, (ii) included in the Transaction, or (iii) considered one of the Facilities for purposes of this Agreement.

(h) Casualty and/or Condemnation. In the event that there is a casualty or Condemnation and the Investor elects to exclude the Damaged Facility from this Transaction in accordance with Section 4.14 of this Agreement, then such Facility shall not be contributed by Welltower or any Affiliate of Welltower to any of the Welltower Subsidiaries, shall not be included in the Transaction, and shall not be considered one of the Facilities for purposes of this Agreement.

(i) Facilities not Financeable. In the event that Investor elects to terminate this Agreement with respect to a Facility in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 4.08(d), then such Facility shall not be (i) contributed to any Welltower Subsidiary on or before the Escrow Date, (ii) included in the Transaction, or (iii) considered one of the Facilities for purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Welltower may include any such Facility so excluded in a Subsequent Closing, so long as the Parties are able to obtain alternative financing for such Facility on or before the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to such Subsequent Closing.

(j) [Reserved]

(k) Ground Lessor Management Consents. Section 2.07(k) of the Welltower Disclosure Letter lists each Leased Facility with respect to which the Ground Lease applicable thereto provides the Ground Lessor thereunder with certain rights to consent to the property manager and/or leasing agent for such Facility. Any such Leased Facility shall not be (i) contributed to any Welltower Subsidiary on or before the Escrow Date, (ii) included in the Transaction, or (iii) considered one of the Facilities for purposes of this Agreement, unless, on or before the Escrow Date and in accordance with the applicable Ground Lease, the Ground Lessor that is a party to the Ground Lease for such Leased Facility provides to a Welltower Entity such Ground Lessor’s written consent (or its consent is deemed given) with respect to the proposed property manager and/or leasing agent to be engaged with respect to such Leased Facility from and after the Initial Closing or Subsequent Closing, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Welltower may include any such Leased Facility so excluded in a Subsequent Closing, so long as such consent is obtained (or deemed obtained) on or before the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to such Subsequent Closing.

(l) Effect of Excluded Facility. To the extent any Facility is excluded in accordance with this Section 2.07 (any such facility, an “Excluded Facility”), (a) the Initial Capital Contribution shall be reduced by forty two and one-half percent (42.5%) of the value attributed to each such Facility in the Price Allocation, and the amount of the Debt Financing drawn down at the Initial Closing shall be reduced in accordance with the provisions of the Debt Financing Agreements, provided, that, to the extent that the reduction in the amount of the Debt Financing drawn down is greater than fifty percent (50%) of the value attributed to the Excluded Facility in the Price Allocation, the Initial Capital Contribution will be increased by the difference between (x) the amount by which the draw down was reduced and (y) fifty percent (50%) of the value attributed to the Excluded Facility in the Price Allocation.

Section 2.08 Escrow Agent. The Parties agree that the Initial Capital Contribution, plus Investor’s share of closing costs and each of the Transaction Documents deposited by any of the Parties or their Affiliates, shall be held by the Escrow Agent, in trust, pursuant to an Escrow Agreement, in form and substance as set forth on Exhibit A (the “Escrow Agreement”), which the Parties are executing and delivering concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

Section 2.09 Subsequent Closings.

(a) The Parties acknowledge and agree that it is their intent that Welltower contribute each Subsequent Facility to Holdings by transfer to a PropCo or transfer of an Existing PropCo to Holdings in up to two (2) additional transactions (the consummation of each such transaction is referred to herein as a “Subsequent Closing”). The first such Subsequent Closing shall take place on a date not more than ninety (90) days after the Initial Closing Date (i.e., Wednesday, December 23, 2020). Thereafter, if there are remaining Subsequent Facilities, the second (and final) Subsequent Closing may take place on a date (the “Long Stop Date”) not more than one hundred thirty-five (135) days after the Initial Closing Date (i.e., Monday, February 8, 2021). The value attributable to each such Subsequent Facility shall be that set forth in the Price Allocation. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, any Subsequent Facility not contributed

 

7


pursuant hereto by the Long Stop Date, shall not be transferable hereunder. Welltower shall use good faith efforts to keep Investor informed as to its progress in obtaining the Subsequent Consents for each Subsequent Facility. If Welltower wishes to initiate a Subsequent Closing, Welltower may give Investor no less than ten (10) Business Days’ written notice that it intends to hold a Subsequent Closing as to those Subsequent Facilities where the Subsequent Consents have been obtained, listing the Subsequent Facilities to be included and specifying the date of such Subsequent Closing (the “Subsequent Closing Date”). Following the provision of such notice of a Subsequent Closing, the following shall apply, subject to the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.04, Section 5.05 and Section 5.06:

(b) Not later than 2:00 PM Eastern on each Subsequent Closing Date, (i) the Parties will cause a PropCo to be formed for each Subsequent Facility (or each set of Subsequent Facilities that constitutes a set of Grouped Facilities), each with a limited liability company agreement in the same form used for the other PropCo and with Holdings as the sole member of each PropCo, (ii) the Parties will cause the relevant Welltower Subsidiary(ies) to execute and deliver a contribution agreement (“Subsequent Contribution Agreement”) in substantially the form of Exhibit L for the contribution of any Subsequent Facilities in connection with such Subsequent Closing and (iii) Investor shall make an additional capital contribution (an “Additional Capital Contribution”) to Holdings equal to approximately forty two and one half percent (42.5%) of the aggregate purchase price of the Facilities included in such Subsequent Closing, which shall be distributed to Welltower in a special distribution.

(c) At the Subsequent Closing, the Parties will cause the relevant Welltower Subsidiaries to (i) satisfy the Joinder Project Advance Conditions (as such term is defined in Section 2.1(e) of the Loan Agreement between Lender and the Welltower Subsidiaries), (ii) execute and submit a Joinder Project Advance Request to the Administrative Agent (as defined in the Loan Agreement between Lender and the Welltower Subsidiaries) requesting that Lender disburse a Joinder Project Advance (as such term is defined in Section 2.1(e) of the Loan Agreement between Lender and the Welltower Subsidiaries) to be used to fund a special distribution to Welltower in accordance with the applicable Subsequent Contribution Agreement and (iii) consummate the Subsequent Closing. All costs and expenses of the Parties or Holdings incurred in connection with any Subsequent Closing shall be allocated and paid in accordance with the Parties’ “Sharing Ratios” as defined in the Holdings LLC Agreement. Each Subsequent Closing shall take place on relevant Subsequent Closing Date remotely via the exchange of executed documents and other deliverables by electronic transmission and/or facsimile via an escrow through the office of the Escrow Agent, or at such other time or place as the Parties may mutually agree in their sole and absolute discretion.

Section 2.10 Post-Closing Adjustments.

(a) Within ninety (90) days following the Initial Closing Date, Welltower will prepare and deliver to Investor a final closing statement containing the actual amounts of any line items estimated for purposes of preparing the Closing Statement, together with reasonable back-up documentation for such amounts. Said final closing statement shall be subject to Investor’s reasonable approval. Within ten (10) Business Days of delivery of such final closing statement to Investor, the applicable Party will then make any payments, if any, required to be made to the other Parties hereto such that the total amounts paid and received by each of the Parties are the same as they would have been had such final closing statement been the Closing Statement hereunder and, if necessary, the Parties will cause Holdings to make any distributions necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

 

8


(b) Within ninety (90) days following any Subsequent Closing, Welltower will prepare and deliver to Holdings a final closing statement containing the actual amounts of any line items estimated for purposes of preparing the Closing Statement (as defined in the applicable Subsequent Contribution Agreement), together with reasonable back-up documentation for such amounts. Said final closing statement shall be subject to Holdings’ reasonable approval. Within ten (10) Business Days of delivery of such final closing statement to Holdings, the applicable Party will then make any payments, if any, required to be made to the other Parties hereto such that the total amounts paid and received by each of the Parties are the same as they would have been had such final closing statement been the Closing Statement under the applicable Subsequent Contribution Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Distribution (as defined in the applicable Subsequent Contribution Agreement) amount was too low, Investor shall make a capital contribution to Holdings in the amount of the shortfall and such amount shall be distributed to Welltower and if the amount was too high then Welltower shall make a capital contribution to Holdings in an amount equal to the excess and such amount shall be distributed to Investor. Any contribution and distribution pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) shall be treated as a purchase price adjustment for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Section 2.11 COVID Closing Delay.

(a) Except as expressly required by the terms of the Transaction Documents, no Welltower Entity shall have any obligation to provide any affidavits, personal undertakings or title indemnities to the Title Company respecting the issuance of the Title Policies or any endorsements to the Title Policies in order to cause the Closing to occur; provided, that if (and only if) any of the recording offices for any jurisdiction in which a Facility is located are closed for recording (including electronic recording) on the Closing Date, the applicable Welltower Entity (other than Holdings) will provide the Title Company with a personal undertaking or owner’s affidavit (collectively, an “Owner’s Affidavit”) with respect to its Facilities, in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit K, but solely with respect to the jurisdictions in which no recording is possible on the Closing Date.

(b) If as a result of COVID-19 either (i) the Title Company will not agree to issue the Title Policy on the Closing Date in the form required by this Agreement because it is unable to record recordable Closing Deliverables as a result of the closure of recording offices despite delivery of the Owner’s Affidavit or (ii) if nationally recognized financial institutions or the Lenders are not completing wire transfers of immediately available funds or issuing certified checks for amounts required to be paid under this Agreement to satisfy the conditions to the obligations of the Parties hereto to consummate the Closing (including the net proceeds received from the Debt Financing) (the events in clauses (i) and (ii), each a “COVID Closing Delay”), then the Closing Date shall be automatically extended to the date which is two (2) Business Days following the first Business Day on which the applicable COVID Closing Delay no longer exists. For the avoidance of doubt, no Welltower Entity shall have any obligation to deliver indemnities other than those set forth in the Owner’s Affidavit in order to cause the Closing to occur if it would otherwise be extended under the immediately preceding sentence.

(iv) Prior to Closing, Investor shall not, orally or in writing, communicate with, or otherwise provide any information to, Welltower regarding the results of the Due Diligence outlined in this Section 4.01(h) (e.g., regarding any indoor or outdoor environmental sampling or investigation findings or results) without Welltower’s prior written consent; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that, subject to Section 4.01(h)(iii), Investor’s submission of a Satisfactory Environmental Diligence Notice or an Unsatisfactory Environmental Diligence Notice, as applicable, which simply states that Due Diligence was conducted “to the satisfaction” or “not to the satisfaction” of Investor shall not constitute a breach of this Section 4.01(h)(iv).

(v) In the event Investor has delivered an Unsatisfactory Environmental Diligence Notice in respect of any such Facility, Investor and Welltower shall negotiate in good faith the terms under which such Facility can be included in a Subsequent Closing, which terms must be satisfactory to Investor in its sole and absolute discretion and the agreement to such terms shall constitute a “Subsequent Consent” for such Facility, provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if Welltower agrees in writing, at its sole cost and expense, to investigate and remediate the Hazardous Materials at the Facility identified by the Due Diligence permitted by this Section 4.01 (h) which formed the basis for the delivery of the Unsatisfactory Environmental Diligence Notice and obtain a no further action determination (if Hazardous Materials are present in indoor air, soil vapor, soil or groundwater at concentrations above the applicable remedial action standard or human health exposure standard prescribed by Environmental Law) from the applicable regulatory agency (collectively “Environmental “Work”), then the Facility shall be treated as if a Satisfactory Environmental Diligence Notice had been delivered for such Facility and if such remediation was required by applicable Environment Law, then following such investigation and/or remediation Welltower agrees to seek a “no further action” letter from the applicable regulatory agency concurring that the relevant issues have been investigated or remediated as required by Environmental Law.

Welltower shall perform the Environmental Work pursuant to the property management agreement between the Parties and shall charge no fees for such work. If at any time Welltower discontinues using commercially reasonable efforts to undertake such remediation or materially deviates from the approved timeline and does not resume such efforts or take commercially reasonable actions to comply with the timeline within ten (10) Business Days after written notice from Investor to resume such efforts or comply with such timeline, then Investor shall be entitled to assume control of such efforts and continue such remediation in accordance with the approved plan and timeline at Welltower’s sole cost and expense, provided that the timeline shall be modified to account for any time lost during Welltower’s period of noncompliance and any time required to transfer control of the remediation efforts to Investor.

Section 4.02 Commercially Reasonable Efforts. Each Party shall, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.03, cooperate and use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate actions (and to make, or cause to be made, all filings and notifications necessary, proper or advisable under Applicable Law) to consummate and make effective the Transaction as promptly as practicable and to consummate the Subsequent Closings, including commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy all closing and transfer conditions set forth in Article V and to obtain, as promptly as practicable, all Authorizations and any other third-party consents and waivers as are necessary for the consummation of the Transaction and all Subsequent Consents; provided, however, that no Party shall have any obligation to offer or pay any consideration (other than customary or legally required filing, administrative or other similar fees) in order to obtain same.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement, the Parties agree that Welltower may disclose the final form of this Agreement and/or an executed copy of this Agreement and/or a summary of the terms of this Agreement, with third parties to the extent necessary to obtain the consents, waivers, amendments, lease extensions and/or recognition agreements referenced in Section 2.07 or the Subsequent Consents. The Parties further agree that they shall reasonably cooperate to provide all information and documentation to any Ground Lessor or Space Tenant as required under any Ground Lease or Space Lease in connection with the foregoing.

Section 4.06 Certain Deliveries and Notices. From the Effective Date through the first to occur of the final Subsequent Closing and the Long Stop Date, each Party shall promptly inform in writing the other Party upon becoming aware of any event or matter that would reasonably be expected to cause a condition to the other Party’s obligation to consummate the Initial Closing or any Subsequent Closing to not be satisfied. Welltower shall have the right from time to time prior to the Initial Closing to supplement or amend the Welltower Disclosure Letter with respect to any matter hereafter arising or discovered which if existing or known at the date of this Agreement would have been required to be set forth or described in the Welltower Disclosure Letter and also with respect to events or conditions arising after the date hereof and prior to the Initial Closing. Any such supplemental or amended disclosure shall be deemed to have cured any breach of any representation or warranty made in this Agreement for purposes of

 

31


the indemnification provided for in Article VII hereof, but if such supplemental or amended disclosure is material and adverse shall not be deemed to have cured any such breach of representation or warranty for purposes of determining whether or not the conditions set forth in Article V have been satisfied. If prior to the Initial Closing Investor shall have reason to believe that any breach of a representation or warranty of Welltower has occurred (other than through notice from Welltower), Investor shall promptly so notify Welltower, in reasonable detail. Nothing in this Agreement, including this Section, shall imply that Welltower is making any representation or warranty as of any date other than the date of this Agreement and the Initial Closing Date.

Section 4.07 Operation Prior to Closings.

(a) Between the Effective Date and the first to occur of the Initial Closing or Subsequent Closing relating to a specific Subsequent Facility and the Long Stop Date, except as contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or as set forth in the Welltower Disclosure Letter, or unless Investor shall otherwise consent in writing, Welltower shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, maintain its ownership of each Facility in all material respects in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice. It shall not be a default by Welltower or its Subsidiaries under this Section 4.07(a) if such Person is unable to perform its obligations pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence as a result of (i) any governmental order or mandate related to the COVID-19 virus which renders such performance illegal, impossible or commercially unreasonable (i.e., stoppage of construction due to the COVID-19 virus) or (ii) the rules or regulations instituted by any tenant under a Space Lease in response to COVID-19 (i.e., a tenant restricting access to its premises) and not instituted at the request of Welltower or its Subsidiaries, which renders such performance impossible or commercially unreasonable.

(b) From and after the Effective Date through the Initial Closing Date, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to prepare each Welltower Subsidiary to commence its operations immediately following the Initial Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, from and after the Effective Date through the Initial Closing, the Parties shall not take any action or execute any agreement or document that would result in any Welltower Subsidiary, other than any Welltower Subsidiary existing on the Effective Date, conducting commercial operations or engaging in the conduct of business (other than preparatory activities intended to allow them to commence business operations following the Initial Closing).

(c) Between the Effective Date and the first to occur of the Initial Closing or Subsequent Closing relating to a specific Subsequent Facility and the Long Stop Date, Welltower shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, keep each Facility insured under its current or comparable policies against fire and other hazards covered by extended coverage endorsement and commercial general liability insurance against claims for bodily injury, death and property damage occurring in, on or about such Facility.

 

32


(d) Between the Effective Date and the first to occur of the Initial Closing or Subsequent Closing relating to a specific Subsequent Facility and the Long Stop Date, neither Welltower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall enter into any service contract with a third party or a Welltower Affiliate relating to any Facility, except those that are (i) on terms and conditions approved by Investor, which approval may be granted or denied in Investor’s reasonable discretion, (ii) terminable upon thirty (30) or fewer-days’ prior written notice without payment of any fees or penalty, (iii) national Contracts also relating to Welltower real estate assets other than such Facility, or (iv) Contracts that provide for payment or receipt by any Welltower Entity of less than $75,000, provided, that, with respect to the contracts described in clauses (ii) and (iv) they are also entered into in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice and they do not violate the provisions of Schedule 3.2 to the Holdings LLC Agreement. If Welltower enters into any such contract, it shall promptly provide written notice thereof to Investor.

(e) Between the Effective Date and the first to occur of the Initial Closing or Subsequent Closing relating to a specific Subsequent Facility and the Long Stop Date, neither Welltower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall voluntarily enter into, or otherwise permit, any further material encumbrance on any Facility except on terms and conditions approved by Investor, which approval may be granted or denied in Investor’s reasonable discretion.

(f) Between the Effective Date and the first to occur of the Initial Closing or Subsequent Closing relating to a specific Subsequent Facility and the Long Stop Date, neither Welltower nor any of its Subsidiaries will lease any space outside the ordinary course of business and pursuant to a lease covering in excess of thirty-five thousand (35,000) square feet in such Facility except on terms and conditions approved by Investor, which approval may be granted or denied in Investor’s reasonable discretion.

(g) Between the Effective Date and the first to occur of the Initial Closing or Subsequent Closing relating to a specific Subsequent Facility and the Long Stop Date, neither Welltower nor any of its Subsidiaries will grant any consent or waiver under, or amend or terminate, any ground lease pursuant to which a Facility is leased directly or indirectly by Welltower (as lessee) or any Material Space Lease outside of the ordinary course of business, without Investor’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld.

In any circumstance where Investor’s consent is required hereunder, Welltower shall request such consent in writing (which may be by email). Investor shall have five (5) Business Days to respond to such request and, if a response is not received in that period, Investor shall be deemed not to have consented.

Section 4.08 Financing.

(a) Attached hereto as Exhibit B is a true and complete copy of an executed commitment letter (including any related fee letters or side letters) dated June 29, 2020 (the “Debt Commitment Letter”) from Capital One Healthcare on behalf of Capital One, National Association, in its capacity as administrative agent, sole lead arranger and sole book runner, for certain lenders (collectively, the “Lenders”), pursuant to which the Lenders have committed, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, to provide debt financing for the Transaction in an aggregate amount of up to $232,500,000 (the “Debt Financing”).

 

33


(b) Subject to the limitations set forth below, the Parties shall cooperate to arrange the Debt Financing to be consummated contemporaneously with the Initial Closing in respect of the Transaction. Such cooperation will include using commercially reasonable efforts to make appropriate officers available for participation in meetings and due diligence sessions, assistance in the preparation of offering memoranda, private placement memoranda and similar documents, and the execution and delivery of any definitive financing documents as may be reasonably requested by Investor or any prospective lender to Holdings. The Parties agree that the effectiveness of any documents executed by or on behalf of Holdings or any Subsidiary in connection with the Debt Financing shall be subject to, and not effective until, the consummation of the Initial Closing. Holdings shall, immediately following the Initial Closing, promptly, upon request by either Welltower or Investor, reimburse Welltower and Investor for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees and expenses and disbursements) incurred by Welltower or Investor, respectively, in connection with the cooperation contemplated by this Section 4.08 (“Financing Costs”). For the avoidance of doubt, such out-of-pocket costs and expenses shall not include any brokerage, finders’ or other fees owed to any broker, finder, investment banker or other financial advisor, including any such fees set forth on Section 3.02(g) of the Investor Disclosure Letter.

(c) Each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to arrange the Debt Financing as promptly as practicable on the terms and conditions described in the Debt Commitment Letter, including using its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) negotiate commercially reasonable definitive agreements with respect thereto on terms and conditions contained therein (which agreements must be consistent with the Debt Commitment Letter), (ii) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions and obligations applicable to Investor and Welltower in such definitive agreements that are within its control, (iii) consummate the Debt Financing at the Initial Closing, and (iv) enforce any rights under the Debt Commitment Letter. Terms of the Debt Financing not addressed in the Debt Commitment Letter shall be mutually agreed by the Parties, in their reasonable discretion. Terms of the Debt Financing that contradict the terms of the Debt Commitment Letter must be mutually agreed by the Parties, each in their sole discretion.

(d) If any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letter due to either a breach by the Lenders and/or one or more Lenders failing to fund the entirety of the Debt Financing (notwithstanding any term to the contrary set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter), or otherwise, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain alternative financing for any such portion from alternative sources as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event on comparable or more favorable terms to Holdings and Investor (and in any event not containing any material conditions to funding that were not conditions to the funding of the Debt Financing). If any new Debt Commitment Letter is obtained, (i) any reference in this Agreement to the “Financing” or the “Debt Financing” shall mean the debt financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter as modified pursuant to the following clause (ii); and (ii) any reference in this Agreement to the “Debt Commitment Letter” shall be deemed to include the new Debt Commitment Letter to the extent still then in effect (together with any accompanying fee letter). Any Party which has Knowledge of any breach by any party to any Debt Commitment Letter or any termination of any Debt Commitment Letter, or any failure of Lenders to fund the entirety of the Debt Financing, shall promptly upon becoming aware of any such breach or termination provide notice of such breach or termination to the other Party. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that the portion of the Debt Financing that becomes unavailable relates to a specific Facility or Facilities and the Parties are unable to obtain alternative financing for such Facility or Facilities, Investor may (as its sole and exclusive remedy) deem such Facility to be an Excluded Facility in accordance with Section 2.07 of this Agreement.

 

34


(e) Each Party shall keep the other informed on a reasonably current basis in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Debt Financing. Neither Party shall permit any amendment or modification to be made to, nor any waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Debt Commitment Letter without obtaining the other Party’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

Section 4.09 Notices of Certain Welltower Events. From the Effective Date through the first to occur of (A) the Initial Closing or Subsequent Closing relating to a specific Subsequent Facility and (B) the Long Stop Date, Welltower shall promptly notify Investor of:

(a) any notice or other communication from any Person alleging the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Transaction or the contribution or transfer of any Subsequent Facility;

(b) any notice or other communication from any Governmental Authority regarding any Governmental Approval required to be obtained in connection with the Transaction or the contribution or transfer of any Subsequent Facility; or

(c) any material damage, destruction or other material casualty loss to any Facility.

Section 4.10 Notices of Certain Investor Events. From the Effective Date through the first to occur of (A) the Initial Closing or Subsequent Closing relating to a specific Subsequent Facility and (B) the Long Stop Date, Investor shall promptly notify Welltower of:

(a) any notice or other communication from any Person alleging the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Transaction or the contribution or transfer of any Subsequent Facility; or

(b) any notice or other communication from any Governmental Authority regarding any material Governmental Approval required to be obtained in connection with the Transaction or the contribution or transfer of any Subsequent Facility.

Section 4.11 Tax Election; Transfer Tax.

(a) Any real property transfer or gains Tax, sales Tax, stamp Tax or other similar Tax (“Transfer Taxes”) imposed in connection with the Transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents and the Contribution Agreement shall be borne by Welltower. The Parties will cooperate in good faith and will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any such Transfer Taxes that may be due, including filing for any applicable exemptions or relief that may be available. Each Tax Return required to be filed by the parties hereto with respect to the Transfer Taxes shall be prepared and filed by Welltower and shall be agreed upon by the parties as to form and substance prior to filing on the Escrow Date.

 

35


(b) It is intended by Welltower and the Investor that the transactions with respect to the Initial Closing shall, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, be treated as though Investor purchased an eighty-five percent (85%) interest in the direct or indirect assets of Holdings transferred pursuant to the Initial Closing (which assets shall be treated as held directly by Welltower for U.S. federal tax purposes immediately prior to the Initial Closing), and immediately thereafter, Welltower and Investor contributed their respective interests in such assets to Holdings in exchange for membership interests in Holdings, pursuant to IRS Revenue Ruling 99-5 (Situation 1), 1999-1 C.B. 434.

(c) The total price for the Portfolio shall be allocated to each Facility in accordance with Exhibit I attached hereto (the “Price Allocation”). Each of Welltower, Investor and Holdings agrees to file its Tax Returns in a manner consistent with such Price Allocation. In the event that the Price Allocation is disputed by any Governmental Authority, the party receiving notice of the dispute shall promptly notify the other parties hereto of such dispute and the parties hereto shall cooperate in good faith in responding to such dispute.

(d) Welltower and Investor shall, and shall cause Holdings to cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with any Tax matters relating to Holdings and/or the direct or indirect assets or Subsidiaries of Holdings (including by the provision of reasonably relevant records or information). The Party requesting such cooperation will pay the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the other Party and/or Holdings, as applicable.

Section 4.12 Certain Real Property Covenants.

(a) CCR Estoppels. Certain of the real property improved by a Facility is subject to CCRs governing or affecting the use, operation, maintenance, management or improvement of such real property or Facility. In connection therewith Welltower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver prior to or at the Initial Closing or any Subsequent Closing in which such Facility is to be included each of the estoppel certificates set forth on Section 4.12(a) of the Welltower Disclosure Letter, which estoppels shall be in substantially the forms to be attached hereto as Exhibit F (each, a “CCR Estoppel Certificate”), from the declarant, association, committee, agent and/or other Person named therein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.12(a) the Parties agree that if an agreed form of estoppel is included in or attached to any CCR, then the provisions of such estoppel shall satisfy any obligation under this Section 4.12(a).

(b) Ground Lessor Estoppel Certificates. Welltower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver prior to or at the Initial Closing or any Subsequent Closing in which such Facility is to be included an estoppel certificate with respect to each Leased Facility that is subject to a Ground Lease that is set forth on Section 1.01(a) of the Welltower Disclosure Letter, provided that as to any Ground Lessors who customarily provide an estoppel certificate on their own form or who are Lessors under a Ground Lease that prescribes a form of estoppel certificate, the estoppel certificate may be in such form so long as such estoppel certificate does not disclose a default or other adverse information that contradicts information disclosed to Investor in the Welltower Disclosure Letter (which contradiction is not of a de minimis variety or extent) (each, a “Ground Lessor Estoppel Certificate”) from the Ground Lessor at issue. Investor’s receipt of Ground Lessor Estoppel Certificates that satisfy the requirements of the first sentence of this Section 4.12(b) shall be referred to herein as the “Ground Lessor Estoppel Certificate Condition” and Welltower shall be deemed to have satisfied

 

36


the Ground Lessor Estoppel Certificate Condition when it has delivered to Investor, Ground Lessor Estoppel Certificates that satisfy the requirements set forth in the first sentence of this Section 4.12(b). Welltower shall prepare the Ground Lessor Estoppel Certificates and distribute them to the applicable Ground Lessors reasonably promptly following the date on which the Parties and the Lenders agree as to the form of such Ground Lessor Estoppel Certificates (and any document of which they form a part).

(c) Space Tenant Estoppel Certificates. Subject to Section 4.12(d), Welltower shall obtain and deliver prior to or at the Initial Closing or any Subsequent Closing in which such Facilities are to be included, estoppel certificates with respect to Space Leases which in the aggregate represent at least seventy five percent (75%) of the aggregate leased area of those Facilities transferred at the relevant Closing, which estoppel shall be in substantially the form of estoppel certificate attached hereto as Exhibit H and dated no earlier than sixty (60) days prior to the Initial Closing or Subsequent Closing (as applicable), provided that as to any Space Tenants who customarily provide an estoppel certificate on their own form or who are lessees under a Space Lease that prescribes a form of estoppel certificate, the estoppel certificate may be in such form so long as such estoppel certificate does not disclose a default or other adverse information that contradicts information disclosed to Investor in the Welltower Disclosure Letter (which contradiction is not of a de minimis variety or extent) (each, a “Space Tenant Estoppel Certificate”), from the Space Tenant at issue; provided, that an estoppel certificate shall not be deemed to contradict information disclosed to Investor in the Welltower Disclosure Letter if such estoppel certificate discloses a COVID Related Issue. Subject to Section 4.12(d), it shall be a condition precedent to Investor’s closing obligations hereunder that Investor shall have received the percentage of Space Tenant Estoppel Certificates in the form required under this Section 4.12(c). Investor’s receipt of Space Tenant Estoppel Certificates that satisfy the requirements of the first two sentences of this Section 4.12(c) shall be referred to herein as the “Space Tenant Estoppel Certificate Condition” and Welltower shall be deemed to have satisfied the Space Tenant Estoppel Certificate Condition when it has delivered to Investor, Space Tenant Estoppel Certificates that satisfy the requirements set forth in the first two sentences of this Section 4.12(c).

(d) Replacement Estoppel Certificates. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, in lieu of obtaining any Space Tenant Estoppel otherwise required under this Agreement, Welltower may instead deliver a Replacement Estoppel Certificate, which shall be deemed for all purposes hereunder (including without limitation satisfying any condition) to be an Estoppel in the required form, provided, that, (i) Welltower may not deliver Replacement Estoppel Certificates for Space Leases which in the aggregate represent greater than five percent (5%) of the aggregate leased area of those Facilities transferred at the relevant Closing, and (ii) the representations and warranties of Welltower set forth in the Replacement Estoppel Certificates shall survive Closing indefinitely and shall not be subject to Liability Cap, the Basket Amount, or any other limitations set forth in Section 7.02 of this Agreement, provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, such representations and warranties shall become null and void as set forth in the definition of Replacement Estoppel Certificate.

Section 4.13 Prorations. The following items shall be pro-rated and adjusted at the Initial Closing as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Initial Closing Date, the Initial Closing Date being a day of income and expense to Holdings and its Subsidiaries:

 

37


(a) Rent and Other Revenue Under Space Leases. On the Initial Closing Date, Holdings and its Subsidiaries shall receive from Welltower a credit for any collected rent and other revenue received by Welltower prior to the Initial Closing (and any applicable state or local tax on rent) under the Space Lease of such Space Tenant, that applies to any period from and after the Initial Closing Date. After the Initial Closing, Holdings and its Subsidiaries shall apply and distribute all rent and revenue collected by Holdings and its Subsidiaries from any Space Tenant first to the costs of such collection, then to such tenant’s current monthly rental and then to arrearages in the reverse order in which they were due, remitting to Welltower any balance properly allocable to Welltower’s period of ownership. If rents or any portion thereof received by Welltower or Holdings or its Subsidiaries after the Initial Closing are payable to the other party by reason of this allocation, the appropriate sum shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days to the other Party. Holdings and its Subsidiaries shall bill and use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such rent arrearages in the ordinary course of business, but Holdings and its Subsidiaries shall not be obligated to engage a collection agency or take legal action to collect any rent arrearages or to terminate any Space Lease. Any rent or other revenue received by Welltower after the Initial Closing which applies to any period from and after the Initial Closing Date shall be held in trust and remitted to Holdings and its Subsidiaries promptly after receipt. Welltower shall have the right to pursue any Space Tenant to collect any rent arrearages after the Initial Closing (except for receivables purchased by Holdings and its Subsidiaries at the Initial Closing, if any); provided, however, that no such action shall result in termination of any Space Lease or eviction of any Space Tenant. If any audit by a Space Tenant or common area maintenance or operating expense reconciliation indicates that a Space Tenant is owed any amount of money under its Space Lease for any time period prior to the Initial Closing Date, then subject to any rights Welltower or any Affiliate of Welltower may have under such Space Lease to contest the results of any such audit or reconciliation, Welltower shall promptly pay any amount it is finally determined to owe under such Space Lease to Holdings, and Holdings (or the applicable Subsidiary) shall thereafter pay such amount to such Space Tenant.

(b) Security Deposits Under Space Leases. At the Initial Closing, all unapplied and unforfeited Security Deposits (together with any refundable interest, if any, thereon) held by any Welltower Entity shall be itemized by Welltower, and the Welltower Subsidiaries shall receive a credit for same at the Initial Closing. If any Welltower Entity is holding any Security Deposit wholly or partially in the form of a letter of credit (each, a “Letter of Credit,” and collectively, the “Letters of Credit”), the Welltower Subsidiaries shall not receive a credit for such Security Deposits, but rather, on the Initial Closing Date, Welltower shall deliver to Holdings all original Letters of Credit, with all amendments thereto, and shall execute and deliver such instruments as the issuers of such Letters of Credit may require to effectuate the transfer of such Letters of Credit (or the issuance of a replacement Letter of Credit) to the applicable Welltower Subsidiary, together with payment in full of all fees due and payable in connection with such transfer of any Letter of Credit. In the event a Letter of Credit cannot be transferred to Holdings or its applicable Subsidiary or a replacement Letter of Credit cannot be issued to Holdings or its applicable Subsidiary as of the Initial Closing Date, Welltower agrees to cooperate in good faith with the Welltower Subsidiaries in its pursuit to have such Letter of Credit transferred or a replacement thereof issued to the applicable Welltower Subsidiary (the “New Letter of Credit”).

 

38


Until the New Letter of Credit is transferred or issued, as applicable, Welltower shall not cancel the existing Letter of Credit and, at the applicable Welltower Subsidiary’s direction and to the extent authorized by the applicable Space Lease, upon written request by the applicable Welltower Subsidiary, the applicable Welltower Entity shall make draws on the existing Letter of Credit on behalf of the applicable Welltower Subsidiary as landlord under the Space Lease and immediately remit such funds to the applicable Welltower Subsidiary. Holdings shall indemnify, defend and hold Welltower harmless from any loss, cost, expense, claim or demand related to (i) Security Deposits actually turned over or credited to any Welltower Subsidiary at the Initial Closing, and (ii) Security Deposits in the form of Letters of Credit that are transferred to any Welltower Subsidiary by Welltower at or after the Initial Closing, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct of Welltower.

(c) Other Amounts Under Space Leases. Welltower shall be responsible for: (i) paying, at or prior to the Initial Closing, any brokerage or leasing commissions, tenant improvement allowances, or other compensation that is due or payable with respect to any Space Lease, regardless of whether same is due or payable prior to or after the Initial Closing Date; and (ii) any and all amounts of free rent due to any Space Tenant under any Space Lease, other than brokerage or leasing commissions, tenant improvement allowances, or other compensation relating to (x) renewals or extensions of existing Space Leases exercised after the Effective Date, and (y) new leases or modifications, supplements, waivers, amendments approved by Investor, (such amounts payable by Welltower, collectively, the “Space Tenant Amounts”). To the extent any Space Tenant Amount set forth under clause (i) or (ii) is not paid as of the Initial Closing, then Holdings (or the applicable Welltower Subsidiary) shall receive a credit at the Initial Closing in the amount of the applicable Space Tenant Amount that has not been paid by Welltower at or prior to the Initial Closing.

(d) Ground Lease Rent. Ground Lease rent for the month in which the Initial Closing Date occurs shall be prorated as of the Initial Closing Date.

(e) Security Deposits Under Ground Leases. At the Initial Closing, all unapplied and unforfeited security and other deposits paid by any Ground Lessee under any Ground Lease (together with any refundable interest, if any, thereon) shall be itemized by Welltower, and Welltower shall receive a credit for same at the Initial Closing.

(f) Taxes. General real estate taxes for the then current tax period and relating to each Initial Facility shall be prorated as of the Initial Closing Date. If the Initial Closing shall occur before the tax rate is fixed for the then current tax period for any Initial Facility, the apportionment of taxes shall be upon the basis of the tax rate for the immediately preceding tax period. Within thirty (30) days after the actual taxes for the tax period in which the Initial Closing occurs are determined, Welltower and Holdings (or the applicable Subsidiary) shall adjust the proration of such taxes and Welltower or Holdings (or the applicable Subsidiary), as the case may be, shall pay to the other any amount required as a result of such adjustment. At the Initial Closing, Welltower shall ensure that all tax reserves and tax escrow accounts held by it or any third-party escrow agent in accordance with the Ground Leases and/or Space Leases shall be transferred to or at the direction of Holdings and its Subsidiaries or credited to Holdings and its Subsidiaries in accordance with the Contribution Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this subsection shall apply to taxes payable by the tenant pursuant to the

 

39


terms of its Space Lease. Welltower shall be responsible for Taxes other than general real estate taxes arising with respect to the Initial Facilities or the Existing PropCos transferred at the Initial Closing as follows: (i) in the case of Taxes attributable to a taxable period ending prior to the Initial Closing Date, all of such Taxes; and (ii) in the case of Taxes attributable to a taxable period that begins before and ends after the Initial Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the portion of such Taxes (A) as to income, receipts or similar Taxes, based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Initial Closing Date, and (B) as to all other Taxes, based on a daily proration. For purposes of any Taxes determined based on a daily proration basis, the amount of such Taxes for which Welltower is responsible shall be the full, actual amount of such Taxes multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on (and including) the Initial Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period.

(g) Other Income and Expenses. All other income from, and expenses of, the Initial Facilities, including but not limited to public utility charges, interest, maintenance charges, service charges, amounts due under any CCRs, and amounts due under the Contracts, shall be prorated as of the Initial Closing Date.

Section 4.14 Casualty and Condemnation.

(a) If after the Effective Date and prior to the Escrow Date (as to any Initial Facility) or the Subsequent Closing Date at which such Subsequent Facility is intended to be contributed (as to any Subsequent Facility), any material portion of a Facility is destroyed or damaged, or if any condemnation proceeding is commenced against any material portion of a Facility (such damaged, destroyed or condemned Facility, a “Damaged Facility”), then Welltower shall give written notice thereof to Investor within five (5) Business Days following the date on which Welltower first learns of the destruction or damage or the date on which Welltower first receives written notice of the condemnation proceeding (the “Damage Notice”), and the rights and obligations of the parties by reason of such event shall be as follows:

(i) If, and only if, such event constitutes a Material Loss, Investor shall be entitled to deem the Damaged Facility to be an Excluded Facility in accordance with Section 2.07 of this Agreement and the Facility shall not be included in the Initial Closing or any Subsequent Closing. Investor shall make such election, in Investor’s reasonable discretion, by delivering written notice thereof to Welltower within five (5) Business Days following receipt of the Damage Notice, and (if necessary) the Initial Closing Date or Subsequent Closing Date, as applicable, shall automatically be extended to afford Investor the full time to make such election.

(ii) If Investor does not elect (or is not permitted to elect) to deem such Damaged Facility to be an Excluded Facility, (1) if the Damage Notice relates to a condemnation proceeding (x) Investor shall be entitled to participate in such condemnation proceeding and (y) all of Welltower’s assignable right, title and interest, if any, in and to the award of the condemning authority shall be assigned to Holdings under the Contribution Agreement or Subsequent Contribution Agreement, as applicable, and there shall be no reduction in the Initial Capital Contribution or any capital contribution required under the relevant Subsequent Contribution Agreement and (2) if the Damage Notice relates to destruction or damage to a Facility, (x) Investor shall be entitled to participate in any insurance settlement discussion and

 

40


(y) all of Welltower’s right, title and interest, if any, in and to the proceeds of any insurance covering such damage destruction (less an amount equal to any expenses and costs incurred by Welltower to repair or restore such Facility and any portion of such proceeds paid or to be paid on account of the loss of rents or other income from such Facility for the period prior to the relevant Closing, all of which shall be payable to Welltower) shall be assigned to Holdings under the Contribution Agreement or Subsequent Contribution Agreement, as applicable, and there shall be no reduction in the Initial Capital Contribution or any capital contribution required under the relevant Subsequent Contribution Agreement.

(iii) EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH HEREIN BUYER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT IN THE EVENT OF A CONDEMNATION OR CASUALTY OF OR TO ANY PROPERTY.

(iv) The term “Material Loss” shall mean any damage or destruction that costs more than twenty five percent (25%) of the valuation allocated to the Damaged Facility in the Price Allocation to repair, based on an estimate by a contractor reasonably acceptable to Investor.

Section 4.15 Post-Closing Action Items. In the event any of the action items set forth in Exhibit N (the “Post-Closing Action Items”) has not been completed prior to the applicable Closing Date for the Facility as to which such Post-Closing Action Item relates, Welltower shall use commercially reasonable, diligent efforts to, at its sole cost and expense, complete any such Post-Closing Action Item reasonably promptly following the applicable Closing Date but in all events before the outside date set forth on Exhibit N (failing which, Investor may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to pursue the completion of any Post-Closing Action Item(s) that then remain outstanding, at Welltower’s sole cost and expense).

TERMINATION

Section 6.01 Termination.

(a) This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Escrow Date:

(i) by mutual written agreement of the Parties;

(ii) by written notice from any Party to the other Party if:

(A) subject to the right of either Party to extend the Escrow Date (and thereby extend the Initial Closing Date) as set forth in Section 2.06, the Initial Closing has not been consummated on or prior to the close of business on the Initial Closing Date; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.01(a)(ii)(A) shall not be available to any Party whose failure to fulfill any of its obligations contained in this Agreement shall have been the cause of, or shall have resulted in, the failure of the Initial Closing to have occurred on or prior to such date;

(B) any Applicable Law shall be enacted or become applicable that makes the Transaction or the consummation of the Initial Closing illegal or otherwise prohibited;

(C) any judgment, injunction, order or decree enjoining any Party from consummating the Transaction or the Initial Closing is entered, and such judgment, injunction, order or decree shall have become final and nonappealable; or

(D) the other Party is in material breach or material default of any covenant contained herein or there are any material inaccuracies or material misrepresentations in such other Party’s representations or warranties herein, and such material breach or material default or such inaccuracy or misrepresentation is incapable of being cured prior to the Escrow Date; provided, however, that the terminating Party is not then in material breach of this Agreement and not then in material breach of its obligations hereunder in respect of the Debt Financing;

(iii) by Welltower, if Investor shall have breached any representation or warranty or failed to comply with any covenant or agreement applicable to Investor that would cause the condition set forth in Section 5.02(d) not to be satisfied; provided, however, that Welltower is not then in material breach of its obligations hereunder in respect of the Debt Financing;

 

46


(iv) by Investor, if Welltower shall have breached any representation or warranty or failed to comply with any covenant or agreement applicable to Welltower that would cause the condition set forth in Section 5.03(f) not to be satisfied; provided, however, that Investor is not then in material breach of its obligations hereunder in respect of the Debt Financing; or

(v) by Welltower, if Investor fails to consummate the Transaction as contemplated herein, after all conditions precedent to Investor’s obligation to do so have been satisfied or waived by Investor, for any reason other than the default of any Welltower Entity.

(b) If Welltower willfully fails to consummate the purchase and sale of the Initial Facilities as contemplated herein, after all conditions precedent to Welltower’s obligation to do so have been satisfied or waived by Welltower, for any reason other than the default of Investor, Investor may as its sole and exclusive remedy elect to do one of the following: (i) pursue an action for specific performance or (ii) terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Earnest Money shall be returned to Investor.

(c) If Investor terminates this Agreement pursuant to Sections 6.01(a)(ii) or (a)(iv) or the Parties agree to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.01(a)(i) upon such a termination, and as Investor’s sole and exclusive remedy, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Investor.

(d) If Welltower terminates this Agreement pursuant to Sections 6.01 (a)(iii) or (a)(v), as Welltower’s sole and exclusive remedy, Welltower shall receive payment of the Earnest Money in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. The retention by Welltower of the Earnest Money as provided above shall be considered liquidated damages, it being agreed that while substantial, the exact amount of damages to be sustained by Welltower in the event of a default by Investor may be difficult to ascertain with mathematical precision and the Earnest Money represents a reasonable measure as to such damages and that the foregoing liquidated damages represent an agreed upon measure of damages and are not to be deemed a forfeiture or penalty.

Section 6.02 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 6.01, all obligations of the Parties hereunder (except for this Section 6.02, Article VIII (Miscellaneous) and any other obligations or liabilities that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement) shall terminate without Liability of any Party to any other Party (other than as set forth in Section 6.01) and the representations and warranties made herein shall not survive beyond a termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that no Party shall be released from Liability hereunder to the extent this Agreement is terminated and the Transaction is abandoned by reason of the fraud or willful misconduct of such Party and, provided, further, that if all conditions to Welltower’s obligation to close hereunder have been satisfied, the Lenders are willing to fund the Debt Financing, Investor has not breached any term or condition of this Agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection herewith and Welltower willfully fails to consummate the Transaction, then Welltower shall reimburse Investor for reasonable legal expenses incurred in connection with its due diligence investigation of the Facilities, not to exceed $400,000 (net of any due diligence expenses reimbursed to Invesco Advisors, Inc. by Welltower pursuant to the Access Agreement).

Section 7.02 Indemnification Obligations of Welltower. From and after the Initial Closing, Welltower will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Holdings from and against any and all Losses incurred by Holdings caused by, relating to or arising out of:

 

48

Section 7.03 Indemnification Obligations of Investor. From and after the Initial Closing, Investor will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Holdings from and against any and all Losses incurred by Holdings caused by, relating to or arising out of:

Section 7.04 Indemnification Procedures. The following provisions govern all claims for indemnification under this Article VII. Holdings when making a claim under this Article VII is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the party against whom such claim is asserted under this Article VII is referred to as the “Indemnitor”.

 

49


(a) If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Proceeding made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement (a “Third-Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnitor is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party will give the Indemnitor prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice will not, however, relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnification obligations, except to the extent that the Indemnitor is materially prejudiced by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party will describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, will include copies of all written evidence thereof and all correspondence from or to such third party (or its representatives), in each case to the extent in the possession of the Indemnified Party, related to the matter giving rise to such Third-Party Claim and will indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable or estimable, of the Loss that has been or is reasonably expected to be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnitor will have the right to participate in or, by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after the Indemnitor’s receipt of the notice of a Third-Party Claim, to assume and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim at the Indemnitor’s expense and by the Indemnitor’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in good faith in such defense. In the event that the Indemnitor assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim in accordance with this Section 7.04(a), and subject to the provisions of this Section 7.04(a) and Section 7.04(b), (i) it will have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if (i) a conflict of interest arises that, under applicable principles of legal ethics or Applicable Law, in the judgment of counsel to the Indemnified Party, would prohibit a single counsel from representing both the Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim, or (ii) the Indemnitor fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Third-Party Claim in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnified Party may participate in its own defense, and the Indemnitor will be liable for all documented reasonable costs or expenses paid or incurred in connection with hiring one counsel for such defense. Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party will cooperate with each other in all commercially reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither the Indemnitor nor the Indemnified Party will enter into settlement of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the other (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.04(b). The Indemnitor shall be authorized to consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third-Party Claim without the consent of any Indemnified Party; provided, that the Indemnitor shall (i) pay or cause to be paid all amounts arising out of such settlement or judgment concurrently with the effectiveness of such settlement, (ii) not encumber any of the assets of any Indemnified Party or agree to any restriction or condition that would apply to or adversely affect any Indemnified Party or the conduct of any Indemnified Party’s business, including by virtue of any injunctive or other equitable relief and (iii) obtain, as a condition of any settlement or other resolution, a complete release of claims, with prejudice, for any Indemnified Party potentially affected by such Third-Party Claim; provided further that such settlement or entry of judgment shall not give rise to any amounts payable in excess of the maximum amount for which the Indemnitor is required to indemnify the Indemnified Party at the time of such settlement.

 

50


(c) Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) will be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnitor prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice will not, however, relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnification obligations, except to the extent that the Indemnitor is materially prejudiced by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party will describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, will include copies of all written evidence thereof to the extent such evidence is in the possession of the Indemnified Party and will indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnitor will have 45 -days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. During such 45-day period, the Indemnified Party will allow the Indemnitor and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Indemnitor’s investigation by giving such information and assistance as the Indemnitor or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnitor does not so respond within such 45-day period, the Indemnitor will be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party will be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party under this Agreement.

Section 7.05 Exclusive Remedies. Except with respect to any equitable remedies contemplated by Section 8.13 or in the event of fraud, Welltower and Investor acknowledge and agree that, following the Initial Closing, the indemnification provisions of Article VII shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of any Indemnified Party for any Losses (including any Losses from claims for breach of contract, warranty, tortious conduct (including negligence) or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, statute, strict liability, or otherwise) that it may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of, or in connection with, any breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement by Investor or Welltower, respectively, or any failure by Investor or Welltower, respectively, to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive any right of rescission they may otherwise have or to which they may become entitled. The provisions of this Section were specifically bargained for among the parties and were taken into account by the parties in arriving at the Initial Capital Contribution and the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Welltower and Investor have each specifically relied upon the provisions of this Section in agreeing to the Initial Capital Contribution and the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No Person who is not a party hereto, including any past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, or representative of, and any financial advisor or lender to, any Party, or any director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, or representative of, and any financial advisor or lender to, any of the foregoing shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute) for any claims, Liabilities or causes of action arising under, out of, in connection with, or related in any manner to the this Agreement or based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or its negotiation, execution, performance, or breach; and, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Party hereby waives and releases all such claims, Liabilities and causes of action against any such Persons.

 

51


Section 7.06 Mitigation. Holdings shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, take commercially reasonable steps to mitigate its respective Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses that are indemnifiable hereunder.

Section 7.07 Limitation on Liability. In no event shall any party have any liability to the other for any consequential, special, incidental, indirect or punitive damages. The amount of any and all Losses under this Article VII shall be determined net of any insurance, indemnity, reimbursement arrangement, contract or other recovery available to the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates in connection with the facts giving rise to the right of indemnification (each, an “Alternative Recovery”). In the event that the Indemnified Party receives recovery of any amount pursuant to an Alternative Recovery for which it has already been indemnified by the Indemnitor hereunder, the Indemnified Party will promptly refund an equal amount to the Indemnitor.

Each Member covenants and agrees that it will not issue any press releases or make similar disclosures to any reporting publication disclosing the terms of this Agreement, except as may be required by law or with the other Member’s prior written consent (which consent shall be in such Member’s sole discretion).

Except to the extent set forth above in this Section 2.8, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the extent that, at law or in equity, Investor Manager or any Member owes any fiduciary duty to the Company, any other Member or any assignee pursuant to this Agreement, such duty is hereby eliminated pursuant to Section 18-1101(c) and Section 18-1101(e) of the Act, it being the express intent of the Members that neither Investor Manager nor any Member shall owe any fiduciary duties of any nature whatsoever to the Company, the other Members or any assignee; provided, however, that notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, all such Persons shall be subject to the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

  (t)

The acquisition by the Company of any assets other than its interests in the PropCos (as such term is defined in the MIPA), cash, cash equivalents and government securities that would count as “good assets” for purposes of the seventy-five percent (75%) requirement set forth in section 856(c)(4)(A) of the Code.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Investor Manager shall have the exclusive right and authority to make any decision with respect to an agreement between the Company and an Affiliate of Sponsor (including designating a replacement contractor and executing any related agreement in connection therewith if such agreement is terminated pursuant to its terms), and (ii) Sponsor shall have the exclusive right and authority to make any decision with respect to an agreement between the Company and an Affiliate of Investor (including designating a replacement contractor and executing any related agreement in connection therewith if such agreement is terminated pursuant to its terms).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the request of either Manager but subject to the consent of the other Manager (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and it being understood that it will be considered unreasonable to withhold, condition or delay such consent if as a result the Company could reasonably be expected to be prevented from complying with any provision of Schedule 3.1), the Managers shall form a Subsidiary taxable as a corporation (provided, however, that such Subsidiary shall elect to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary (as such term is defined in Section 856(l) of the Code)) in order to undertake certain activities that would generate income which (i) would not be (or would cause any rents to not be) treated as qualifying income under Section 856(c) of the Code, or (ii) would be treated as “net

Section 3.5    No Compensation. Neither Investor Manager nor Sponsor shall be entitled to any compensation or reimbursement for the performance of its duties in this Agreement, except for amounts expressly permitted under Section 3.6 or any other expense Approved in advance by all Members in an Approved Operating Budget.

Section 3.6    Company Representative.

 

  (a)

Sponsor shall be the “partnership representative” for purposes of Section 6223(a) of the Code (and similar provisions of state or local law) (the “Company Representative”) for each Taxable Year. Sponsor is specifically directed and authorized to take whatever steps Sponsor deems necessary or desirable to perfect any such designation, including filing any forms or documents with the Internal Revenue Service and taking such other action as may from time to time be required under the Regulations. Sponsor shall designate a “designated individual” for each Taxable Year (as described in Section 301.6223-1(b)(3)(ii) of the Regulations and similar provisions of state or local law) (such person, the “Designated Individual”), which designation shall be subject to the Approval of Investor Manager. Sponsor may require that, as a condition of an individual’s appointment as a designated individual, the Designated Individual shall agree that Sponsor may cause the Designated Individual to resign. The Company Representative shall have all of the rights, duties, powers, and obligations provided for under the Code, Regulations, or other applicable guidance, and may delegate its authority under this Section 3.6(a) to the Designated Individual.

 

  (b)

The Company shall pay, or to the extent the Company Representative or Designated Individual pays, indemnify and reimburse, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company Representative or Designated Individual for all reasonable costs and expenses, including legal and accounting fees (as such fees are incurred).

 

  (c)

The Company shall make the election “out” under Section 6221(b) of the Code if such an election is available.

 

  (d)

If, in any Taxable Year in which the Company does not elect out as provided in Section 3.6(c), a Governmental Authority makes an adjustment to an item of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit of the Company (or any Member’s distributive share thereof) that would result in an “imputed underpayment” within the meaning of Section 6225 of the Code or similar provision of state or local law (such imputed underpayment, together with any associated interest and penalties, an

  Imputed Underpayment”), the Company shall, with the consent of both Investor Manager and Sponsor, timely and properly make the election to “push out” any adjustments to the Members pursuant to Section 6226 of the Code, such that the Company shall not be liable for any Imputed Underpayment resulting from such adjustment. Regardless of whether the Company is able to make the election to “push out” any adjustments under Section 6226 of the Code, the Company Representative and the Members shall take shall take commercially reasonable efforts to reduce the amount of the adjustment or Imputed Underpayment, including by seeking a modification of the Imputed Underpayment pursuant to Section 6225(c) of the Code (and similar provisions of state or local law) as a result of a Member or Affiliate of a Member being a “tax-exempt entity” as defined in Section 168(h)(2) of the Code and by seeking any other reduction that would be available as a result of a Member or Affiliate of a Member being a “tax-exempt entity” as defined in Section 168(h)(2) of the Code.

 

  (e)

If the Company incurs an Imputed Underpayment and the Company is not able to elect to “push out” the adjustments under Section 6226 of the Code, the Members shall bear the economic benefits and burdens of the Imputed Underpayment in the manner reasonably determined by Sponsor with the consent of Investor Manager determined in good faith. In determining the manner in which any Member bears the economic benefits and burdens of an adjustment, the Company shall take into account the Member’s actions and status (including by allocating the benefit of any reduction in the Imputed Underpayment that results from a Member or Affiliate of a Member being a “tax-exempt entity” as defined in Section 168(h)(2) of the Code to such Member) to the extent relevant. The Company shall divide any adjustment and/or Imputed Underpayment into such categories and shall determine the amounts in each category attributable to each Member (or former Member) in the manner the Company determines best gives effect to the principles of this Section 3.6(e). Section 6.8 shall govern the repayment of any amounts determined pursuant to this Section 3.6(e).

 

  (f)

In the event of an income tax audit of the Company by a taxing authority (excluding an audit related to local property tax matters), the Company Representative or Designated Individual, if any, shall (i) keep Investor Manager reasonably informed as to the status of such audit and any material developments therein, (ii) timely provide Investor Manager with copies of all material correspondence in connection with such taxing authority, (iii) allow Investor Manager to participate to the maximum extent permitted by law, and (iv) not take any material action in connection with such audit (including, without limitation, agreeing to any proposed adjustment by a tax authority) without the prior written consent of Investor Manager.

Section 3.7    Indemnification of the Members and Investor Manager . To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a Covered Person shall be entitled to indemnification from the Company for any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Covered Person by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person provided that: (a) any such action was undertaken in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company; (b) any such action was reasonably believed to be within the scope of authority conferred on such Covered Person by this Agreement; and (c) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, such Covered Person had no reasonable cause to believe his action or omission was unlawful; provided, however, that no Covered Person shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Covered Person by reason of fraud, gross negligence, criminal acts, intentional misrepresentation, misappropriation of funds or willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions or a material breach of this Agreement; and provided, further, that any indemnity under this Section 3.7 shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only (including the proceeds of any insurance policy obtained in accordance with this Agreement), and no Covered Person shall have any personal liability on account thereof. This Section 3.7 shall not apply to taxes, or interest and penalties thereon, unless such taxes, and interest and penalties thereon, arise from a non-tax claim.

Such fee shall be prorated for any partial year or quarter.

Section 3.10    Loan Guaranties .

 

  (a)

Sponsor or its Affiliate may, in its sole discretion, provide a guaranty of nonrecourse carve-outs with respect to a Loan. However, without Investor Manager’s Approval, neither Investor Manager, nor Investor, nor any of their respective Affiliates, shall be required to sign any guaranty, back-stop agreement or reimbursement agreement related to a Loan. Subject to approval by Lender, the Members shall use good faith efforts to obtain environmental insurance rather than provide Lender with any environmental indemnity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any payments and costs under any such guaranties that are triggered as a result of any Member’s or its Affiliate’s fraud, gross negligence, criminal acts, intentional misrepresentation, misappropriation of funds or other willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement (together, “Bad Acts”), shall be the borne by such Member, (ii) any payments and costs under such guaranties that are not triggered as a result of any respective Member’s or its Affiliate’s Bad Acts will be borne by Sponsor and Investor in proportion to their Sharing Ratios, (iii) if any Member is liable for any costs and payments with respect to a guaranty, then recourse for such liability shall be limited solely to such Member, so that no party with a direct or indirect interest in such Member shall bear any responsibility for the payment of such costs, (iv) the Company will work with its mortgage broker to seek financing with Lenders that will not require a recourse guaranty, and (v) Investor and Investor Manager hereby agree not to take any action hereunder that would trigger a liability to Sponsor or its Affiliates under a Loan guaranty.

 

  (b)

For so long as any Sponsor Party that is not a public company is a guarantor of, or is otherwise personally obligated on, any Loan encumbering any portion of the Project:

 

  (1)

If a Member (“Noncontributing Member”) fails to contribute its proportionate share of Additional Capital Contributions called pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.1(b) and the other Member (“Contributing Member”) makes its proportionate share of such Additional Capital Contributions, then the Contributing Member may (A) withdraw such Additional Capital Contributions contributed by the Contributing Member, or (B) contribute the delinquent proportionate share of Additional Capital Contributions on behalf of the Noncontributing Member and elect (by notice to the Noncontributing Member) either (1) to treat such Additional Capital Contributions contributed on behalf of the Noncontributing Member as a loan to the Noncontributing Member (a “Member Default Loan”) by the Contributing Member repayable by the Noncontributing Member, together with interest at the Applicable Rate, from distributions pursuant to Article VII which would otherwise be made to the Noncontributing Member, or (2) to treat all of its Additional Capital Contributions related to such call (including the Additional Capital Contributions made on behalf of the Noncontributing Member) as a preferred equity investment in the Company (a “Priority Equity Investment”) by the Contributing Member repayable by the Company, together with a return at the Applicable Rate, prior to any distribution to the Members hereunder. In no event, however, shall the failure or refusal of a Noncontributing Member to make any Additional Capital Contributions hereunder constitute a default by the Noncontributing Member under this Agreement or any other agreement to which such Noncontributing Member or its Affiliate is a party or result in an adjustment of the Sharing Ratios of the Members, and the only recourse if a Member fails to make an Additional Capital Contribution shall be as provided in this Section 5.1(b). Investor agrees not to treat any amount paid or received in connection with a Priority Equity Investment as a guaranteed payment for United States federal income tax purposes without the prior written consent of Sponsor.

  (f)

Member Loans. Except as provided in Section 5.1(b), no loan shall be made by a Member to the Company without the prior joint Approval of the Managers.

  (g)

Interest on Capital Contributions. No interest shall be paid on any capital contribution to the Company by any Member.

Section 5.2    No Further Capital Contributions. Except as provided in Section 5.1(a), The Members shall not be required to contribute additional capital to the Company.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if in any Adjustment Period there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, then each Member shall first be allocated items of Gross Income for such Adjustment Period (and, if necessary, subsequent Adjustment Periods) in an amount equal to the portion of such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(g) of the Regulations, that is attributable to the disposition of Company property subject to one or more nonrecourse liabilities of the Company that are not Member Nonrecourse Debts; provided, however, if there is insufficient Gross Income in an Adjustment Period to make the above allocation for all Members for such Adjustment Period, the Gross Income shall be allocated between the Members in proportion to the respective amounts they would have been allocated had there been an unlimited amount of Gross Income for such Adjustment Period.

 

  (b)

Minimum Gain Chargeback for Member Nonrecourse Debt. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary other than Section 6.3(a), if in any Adjustment Period there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, then each Member shall first be allocated items of Gross Income for such Adjustment Period (and, if necessary, subsequent Adjustment Periods) in an amount equal to the portion of such Member’s share of the net decrease in such Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during such Adjustment Period (as determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i) of the Regulations) attributable to the disposition of Company property subject to one or more Member Nonrecourse Debts; provided, however, if there is insufficient Gross Income in an Adjustment Period to make the above allocation for all Members for such year, the Gross Income shall be

  allocated among the Members in proportion to the respective amounts they would have been allocated had there been an unlimited amount of Gross Income for such Adjustment Period.

 

  (c)

Qualified Income Offset. After application of Sections 6.3(a) and 6.3(b), if in any Taxable Year a Member unexpectedly receives any adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) of the Regulations, and if the Member has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, items of Gross Income shall be allocated to the Member in the amount and in the manner sufficient to eliminate such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible; provided, however, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.3(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that the Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Article VI have been tentatively made as if this Section 6.3(c) were not in this Agreement.

 

  (d)

Gross Income Allocation. In the event a Member has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Adjustment Period, items of Gross Income will be allocated to the Member in the amount and in the manner sufficient to eliminate such deficit as quickly as possible; provided, however, that an allocation under this Section 6.3(d) will be made only if and to the extent that the Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in Sections 6.1-6.3 have been tentatively made as if Section 6.4(c) and this Section 6.3(d) were not in this Agreement.

 

  (e)

Company Nonrecourse Deductions. Company Nonrecourse Deductions for any Adjustment Period shall be allocated among the Members in proportion to their respective Sharing Ratios.

  (g)

Section 754 Adjustment. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset, pursuant to Section 732(d), Section 734(b) or Section 743(b) of the Code, is required, pursuant to Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m) of the Regulations, to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as a result of a distribution to a Member in complete liquidation of its Membership Interest, the amount of such adjustment to Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specifically allocated to the Members in proportion to their respective Sharing Ratios (in the event Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(3) of the Regulations applies) or to the Member to whom such distribution was made (in the event Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) of the Regulations applies.

Section 6.4    Curative Allocations. If any Gross Income, Net Profit (or items of Net Profit), or Net Loss (or items of Net Loss) are allocated pursuant to Sections 6.2 or 6.3 subsequent Gross Income, Net Profit (or items of Net Profit), or Net Loss (or items of Net Loss) will first be allocated (subject to Sections 6.3 and 6.3) to the Members in a manner that will result in each Member having a Capital Account balance equal to that which would have resulted if the original allocation of Gross Income, Net Profit (or items of Net Profit), or Net Loss (or items of Net Loss) or deductions pursuant to Sections 6.2 or 6.3 had not occurred; provided, however, no allocations pursuant to this Section 6.4 that are intended to offset allocations pursuant to Sections 6.3(a) or 6.3(b) shall be made prior to the Taxable Year during which there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain or Company Minimum Gain, and then only to the extent necessary to avoid any potential economic distortions caused by such net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain or Company Minimum Gain, and no such allocation pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall be made to the extent that Investor Manager reasonably determines that it is likely to duplicate a subsequent mandatory allocation pursuant to Section 6.3(a) or 6.3(b).

Section 6.5    Tax Allocations – Code Section 704(c).

 

  (a)

Except as provided in subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 6.6 or as otherwise required by the Code or Regulations, solely for federal income tax purposes, items of taxable income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company for each Adjustment Period shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as each correlative item of income, gain, loss and deduction, as determined for Capital Account purposes, is allocated pursuant to Sections 6.1-6.4.

 

  (b)

In accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and the related Regulations, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall be allocated, solely for tax purposes, among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis to the Company of the property for federal income tax purposes and the initial Book Value of the property. Any elections or other decisions relating to allocations under this Section 6.5 shall be made in any manner that Sponsor determines reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement.

 

  (c)

If the Book Value of any asset of the Company is adjusted pursuant to paragraph (b) of the definition of Book Value, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction for tax purposes with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the Book Value of such asset immediately prior to such adjustment and the Book Value of such asset immediately after such adjustment, in any manner permitted under Section 704(c) of the Code and the applicable Regulations that Sponsor determines reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement.

Section 6.6    Other Allocation Rules. For purposes of determining the Net Profit, Net Loss, or any other item allocable to any period, Net Profit, Net Loss, and any such other item shall be determined on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as determined by Sponsor using any permissible method under Section 706 of the Code and the related Regulations.

Section 6.7    Compliance with Code Section 704(b). It is the intent of the Members that the allocations of Net Profit, Net Loss and portions of such items are in accordance with the “partners’ interests in the partnership” (i.e., the Members’ interests in the Company) within the meaning of Section 704 of the Code and the Regulations or similar authority promulgated under the Code or Regulations. The allocations set forth in this Agreement shall be interpreted consistently with the foregoing intent, and shall be amended, if necessary, in order to accomplish this purpose.

Section 6.8    Tax Withholding. The Company shall be authorized to pay, on behalf of any Member or as otherwise required by tax laws, any amounts to any federal, state or local taxing authority, as may be necessary for the Company to comply with tax provisions of the Code or of any applicable state or local tax laws, rules or regulations. To the extent the Company pays any such amounts that it may be required to pay on behalf of a Member and such amounts are based on the residence or other status of a Member or such amounts represent an Imputed Underpayment allocable to such Member under Section 3.6, such amounts shall be treated as a cash distribution to such Member and shall reduce the amount of Operating Cash Flow or Extraordinary Cash Flow, as applicable, otherwise distributable to such Member. If the Company itself (i) pays or incurs any tax (including penalties or interest) or similar charge directly or indirectly in respect of any Member (as reasonably determined by Sponsor and Approved by Investor Manager, which Approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (ii) pays or incurs any amount (including any tax, penalties or interest) in respect of any failure to pay or withhold any tax or similar charge in respect of any Member as required by applicable law, directly or indirectly, that is not withheld from distribution to such Member, or (iii) pays or incurs an Imputed Underpayment, and which, in the case of clause (i) or (ii), such tax or other amount is based on the residence or other status of a Member, such Member shall, on demand, reimburse the Company for such amounts plus interest thereon (accruing from the date such payment was made by the person entitled to reimbursement) at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum, compounded quarterly on the first day of each calendar quarter, from and after the date on which the Company has given notice to such Member. A Member’s reimbursement obligation arising under this Section 6.8 shall survive a transfer by such Member of its interest in the Company or a withdrawal by such Member and shall survive the dissolution and winding up of the Company.

ARTICLE VII

DISTRIBUTIONS

Section 7.1    Definitions; Timing of Distributions.

 

  (a)

Operating Cash Flow Defined. The cash flow available for distribution by the Company with respect to operations (“Operating Cash Flow”) for any Fiscal Year shall mean the amount by which gross cash receipts from operations (excluding cash proceeds from Capital Transactions and any security or lease deposits until forfeited or otherwise applied to rent due under any Leases) of the Company during such Fiscal Year exceed the aggregate of (i) all operating costs and expenses (excluding interest on borrowed money but including gross receipts, franchise, margin and similar taxes imposed on the Company and/or its Subsidiaries) of the Company paid in cash during such Fiscal Year (without deduction for any charge for cost recovery, depreciation or other expenses not paid in cash), (ii) the cost of debt service paid during such Fiscal Year, (iii) any amounts that the Company requires for working capital, for tenant improvements and for leasing commissions as determined by the Managers in their reasonable discretion, (iv) the amount of any reserves as determined by the Managers in their reasonable discretion and (v) any indemnity payments made by the Company pursuant to Section 3.7. Any amounts previously set aside as reserves shall be additions to Operating Cash Flow when such reserves are no longer necessary to the proper conduct of the affairs of the Company as determined by the Managers in their reasonable discretion. For the purpose of computing Operating Cash Flow, (i) to the extent any accrual for taxes exceeds the credit given to a purchaser on a sale of the Project, such excess shall be considered an addition to Operating Cash Flow, (ii) to the extent the Company receives any refund of insurance premiums as a result of the termination of any coverage upon a sale of any portion of the Project, such refund shall be considered an addition to Operating Cash Flow, and (iii) upon a sale of any portion of the Project, a determination shall be made by the Managers of the amount of all forfeited security deposits that shall be an addition to Operating Cash Flow to the extent not previously included in Operating Cash Flow.

 

  (b)

Extraordinary Cash Flow Defined. “Extraordinary Cash Flow” shall mean the cash proceeds (including any applicable condemnation, insurance, financing and refinancing proceeds) realized by the Company as a result of a Capital Transaction, increased by the cash interest payments received on such proceeds, decreased by the sum of the following: (i) the amount of such proceeds used, set aside or committed by the Company for restoration and repair of any portion of the Project; (ii) any additions to the reserve for taxes and insurance premiums; (iii) any expenses, costs or liabilities incurred by the Company in effecting or obtaining any such Capital Transaction or the proceeds thereof (including

 

LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT

  attorneys’ fees, accountants’ fees, court costs, brokerage fees, commissions, recording fees, transfer or mortgage taxes, and loan fees and expenses), (iv) any debt payments required in connection with such Capital Transaction, all of which expenses, costs and liabilities shall be paid from the gross amount of such cash proceeds to the extent thereof and (v) any indemnity payments that were required to be made by the Company pursuant to Section 3.7 and were not paid from gross cash receipts from operations and considered in Section 7.1(a)(v).

 

  (c)

Timing of Distributions. Distributions of Operating Cash Flow and Extraordinary Cash Flow, as applicable, shall be made on a monthly basis by the tenth (10th) calendar day of each calendar month.

Section 7.2    Distribution of Operating Cash Flow.

 

  (a)

Except as provided in Section 3.7, Section 5.1(b), Section 7.2(b), Section 7.4 and Section 10.3, Operating Cash Flow shall be distributed by the Company in the following order of priority:

 

  (1)

First, to the payment of accrued and unpaid return on Priority Equity Investments by the Members or their Affiliates in the Company, to the extent such investments are permitted hereunder, pro rata in the ratio of the accrued but unpaid return; and then

 

  (2)

Second, to the payment of principal on any Priority Equity Investments made by the Members or their Affiliates in the Company, to the extent such investments are permitted hereunder, pro rata in the ratio of the outstanding balances of such Priority Equity Investments; and then

 

  (3)

Third, to the Members in proportion to their respective Sharing Ratios.

 

  (b)

NOI. Not later than the fifteenth (15) Business Day after the end of each calendar month during an NOI Year, Sponsor shall deliver to Investor Manager a written notice (each, a “Monthly NOI Notice”) setting forth the NOI and NOI Target for such calendar month, the cumulative NOI

 

LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT

VIDA JV LLC

  Page 46


  during the portion of the applicable NOI Year ending at the end of such calendar month and the NOI Rolling Target for the portion of the applicable NOI Year ending at the end of such calendar month. If (i) the Company fails to generate NOI sufficient to achieve the NOI Target during a calendar month within an NOI Year, and (ii) the cumulative NOI during the portion of the applicable NOI Year ending at the end of such calendar month is less than the NOI Rolling Target for such portion of the applicable NOI Year, then the following shall occur:

 

  (1)

Within fifteen (15) Business Days after the delivery of the applicable Monthly NOI Notice, Sponsor shall pay an amount to the Company equal to the NOI Deficiency for such calendar month, and the Company shall distribute the Shortfall Payment to the Members in accordance with their respective Sharing Ratios. Any such amount distributed to the Investor pursuant to this clause (1) is herein referred to as a “Shortfall Payment”);

 

  (2)

Within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Monthly NOI Notice for the last calendar month of an NOI Year is Approved or deemed Approved pursuant to Section 7.2(c), if there is an NOI Surplus for an NOI Year, then Investor shall pay an amount (the “Excess Repayment”) to the Company equal to the lesser of (x) the aggregate Shortfall Payments during such NOI Year and (y) Investor’s Sharing Ratio of such NOI Surplus, and the Company shall distribute such Excess Repayment to Sponsor. For the avoidance of doubt, the Excess Repayment shall not impact the calculation of the NOI during any subsequent period;

 

  (3)

The aggregate Shortfall Payments in any NOI Year (reduced but not below zero by any Excess Repayment in such NOI Year) made under the foregoing shall be treated as a purchase price reduction for the benefit of Investor under the MIPA (i.e., as if such purchase price were reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate Shortfall Payments in such NOI Year (reduced but not below zero by any Excess Repayments in such NOI Year)); and

 

  (4)

The payments described under this clause (b) shall be calculated in accordance with the examples set forth on Schedule 7.2(b).

 

  (c)

NOI Disputes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including the preceding Section 7.2(b)), within ten (10) Business Days following Investor Manager’s receipt of the Monthly NOI Notice for (i) the first (1st) calendar month after the NOI Closing Date, (ii) the sixth (6th) calendar month of each NOI Year, and (iii) the last calendar month of each NOI Year, Investor Manager may dispute Sponsor’s proposed calculations set forth in such Monthly NOI Notice by delivering a written dispute notice (the “Dispute Notice”) setting forth in detail any disputed items and Investor Manager’s calculations of such disputed items (including reasonable support for such calculations). If Investor Manager fails to deliver a timely Dispute Notice under the foregoing, then Investor Manager shall be deemed to have Approved such Monthly NOI Notice. If Investor Manager delivers a timely Dispute Notice under the foregoing, then such dispute shall be resolved as set forth below.

 

  (1)

During the 30-day period following delivery of a Dispute Notice, Investor Manager and Sponsor in good faith shall seek to resolve

 

LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT

VIDA JV LLC

  Page 47


  in writing any differences that they may have with respect to the calculations set forth in such Monthly NOI Notice. Any disputed items resolved in writing within such 30-day period shall be final and binding with respect to such items.

 

  (2)

If Investor Manager and Sponsor have not resolved all such differences by the end of such 30-day period, Investor Manager and Sponsor shall submit to Ernst & Young, or, if such firm is unable or unwilling to act, an independent public accounting firm agreed upon in writing by Investor Manager and Sponsor (the “Independent Accounting Firm”), written materials detailing their views as to the correct nature and amount of each item remaining in dispute, and the Independent Accounting Firm shall make a written determination as to each such disputed item. Investor Manager and Sponsor shall use cause the Independent Accounting Firm to render a written decision resolving the matters submitted to it within thirty (30) days following the submission thereof. The Independent Accounting Firm shall consider only those items and amounts in Investor Manager’s and Sponsor’s respective calculations that are identified as being items and amounts to which Investor Manager and Sponsor have been unable to agree. The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm shall be limited to correcting mathematical errors and determining whether the items and amounts in dispute were determined in accordance with the applicable defined terms and the examples set forth on Schedule 7.2(b) and the Independent Accounting Firm shall not make any other determination. In resolving any disputed item, the Independent Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any item greater than the highest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the lowest value for such item claimed by either party. The Independent Accounting Firm’s determination shall be based solely on written materials submitted by Investor Manager and Sponsor (i.e., not on independent review). The determination of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto and shall not be subject to appeal or further review. Judgment may be entered upon the written determination of the Independent Accounting Firm in accordance with Section 11.11. In acting under this Agreement, the Independent Accounting Firm shall function solely as an expert and not as an arbitrator; provided that the Independent Accounting Firm shall have the power to conclusively resolve differences in disputed items as specified in this Agreement.

 

  (3)

The costs of any dispute resolution pursuant to this Section 7.2(c), including the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting

 

LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT

VIDA JV LLC

  Page 48


  Firm and of any enforcement of the determination thereof, shall be borne by Investor Manager and Sponsor in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm, which proportionate allocation shall be calculated on an aggregate basis based on the relative dollar values of the amounts in dispute and shall be determined by the Independent Accounting Firm at the time the determination of such firm is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted. The fees and disbursements of the representatives of each party incurred in connection with the preparation or review of such Monthly NOI Notice, preparation or review of any Dispute Notice and preparation or review of any written materials provided to the Independent Accounting Firm, as applicable, shall be borne by such party.

 

  (4)

Investor Manager and Sponsor shall, and shall cause the Company (in the case of Sponsor) from and after the date of delivery of such Monthly NOI Notice through the resolution of any dispute pursuant to this Section 7.2(c)) to, afford the other party and its representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, to the personnel, properties, books and records of such party and any other information reasonably requested for purposes of preparing and reviewing the calculations contemplated by this Section 7.2(c).

Section 7.3    Distributions of Extraordinary Cash Flow. Except as provided in Section 3.7, Section 5.1(b), Section 7.4, Section 7.6 and Section 10.3, Extraordinary Cash Flow shall be distributed by the Company (after distributions for the same period pursuant to Section 7.2) in the following order of priority:

 

  (a)

To the payment of accrued and unpaid return on Priority Equity Investments made by the Members or their Affiliates in the Company, to the extent such investments are permitted hereunder, pro rata in the ratio of the accrued but unpaid return; and then

 

  (b)

To the payment of principal on Priority Equity Investments made by the Members or their Affiliates in the Company, to the extent such investments are permitted hereunder, pro rata in the ratio of the outstanding balances of such Priority Equity Investments; and then

 

  (c)

To the Members as follows:

 

  (1)

First, to the Members on a proportionate basis (as determined by reference to the outstanding balances of their Equity Contributions Account) until their Equity Contributions Accounts are reduced to zero (0); and then

 

LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT

VIDA JV LLC

  Page 49


  (2)

Second, to the Members in proportion to their Sharing Ratios until Investor has achieved an IRR equal to twelve percent (12%); and then

 

  (3)

Third, to the Members as follows: (i) eighty percent (80%) to the Members in proportion to their respective Sharing Ratios; and (ii) twenty percent (20%) to Sponsor.

Notwithstanding the prior provisions of this Section 7.3, if distributions under this Section 7.3 are being made as a result of a cross reference under Section 7.4, then immediately after the final distribution of Operating Cash Flow and Extraordinary Cash Flow, each Member shall pay to the Company, which amount shall promptly be distributed to the other Member, an amount such that the Member does not receive distributions of Operating Cash Flow and Extraordinary Cash Flow, net of such payback, in excess of the amount that such Member otherwise would receive if all distributions of Operating Cash Flow and Extraordinary Cash Flow had been made on the date of the final distribution of funds of any character by the Company pursuant to Section 7.3.

Section 7.4    Distributions in Liquidation. Subject in all cases to the Act, including Section 18-804 of the Act, except as provided in Section 3.7, Section 5.1(b) and Section 10.3, distributions in connection with the liquidation and winding up of the Company shall be made in the following order of priority:

 

  (a)

To the reasonable expenses incurred in dissolution and termination;

 

  (b)

To the payment of creditors of the Company (excluding Members or their Affiliates), other than secured creditors whose obligations will be assumed or otherwise transferred on a liquidation of the Company property or assets, and to the establishment of and reserve for contingent or unmatured liabilities of the Company as the Managers determine are reasonable, any such reserve to be returned and distributed as provided in this Section 7.4 at such time as the Managers determine it is no longer required;

 

  (c)

To the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on any loans made by the Members or their Affiliates to the Company, to the extent such loans are permitted hereunder, pro rata in the ratio of the accrued but unpaid interest;

 

  (d)

To the payment of principal on any loans made by the Members or their Affiliates to the Company, to the extent such loans are permitted hereunder, pro rata in the ratio of the outstanding balances of such loans; and

 

  (e)

In accordance with the provisions of Section 7.3(c) (including the last sentence of Section 7.3).

If any Company Assets are distributed to the Members in kind, such assets shall be valued on the basis of the fair market value of such assets on the date of distribution, and any Member entitled to any interest in such assets shall receive such interest as a tenant-in-common with the other Member. The fair market value of such assets shall be determined by an independent appraiser Approved by all Members.

Section 7.6    Call Right.

 

  (a)

At any time after the Call Right Threshold has been achieved, Sponsor shall have the right to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Membership Interest of Investor; provided, however, (1) Sponsor shall not be entitled to invoke the provisions of this Section 7.6 (x) during the sixty (60) day period following the Members’ mutual written agreement to sell the remainder of the Project to a third party, (y) while a contract of sale is in effect or under negotiation with a third party with respect to the remainder of the Project, or (z) while an exclusive period under a letter of intent for the sale of the remainder of the Project to a third party is in effect, and (2) Sponsor shall not be entitled to invoke the provisions of this Section 7.6 if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (beyond all applicable notice or cure periods, if any, set forth in the “Event of Default” definition) with respect to any Sponsor Party.

  (b)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, at law or in equity, no Member shall Transfer or otherwise deal with any Membership Interest or allow a Transfer of any direct or indirect ownership interest in such Member in a way that would cause a default under any agreement to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound or would cause the Company to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code.

 

  (c)

Notwithstanding the restrictions contained in Section 8.1(a), without the consent of Investor Manager, (1) a Transfer of any interests in Sponsor, directly or indirectly, will be permitted, provided that after giving effect to such Transfer(s), Welltower Inc. shall (i) own (directly or indirectly) at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the economic interests in Sponsor, and (ii) retain control of Sponsor, and (2) for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Agreement shall in any way restrict any Transfer of any direct or indirect interests in Welltower Inc.

Section 8.5    Tax Allocations and Cash Distributions. If a Membership Interest is transferred, the Gross Income, Net Profit or Net Loss or other items of income, gain, loss or deduction allocable to the holder of such Membership Interest for the then Taxable Year shall be allocated proportionately between the transferor and the transferee based upon the number of days during such Taxable Year for which each party was the owner of the transferred Membership Interest; provided that any extraordinary, non-recurring items of the Company shall be allocated by closing the books of the Company with respect to such items. However, if such parties agree that such Gross Income, Net Profit or Net Loss (or other items) are to be allocated based upon an interim closing of the Company’s books, and such parties agree to pay all expenses incurred by the Company in connection therewith and so notify the nontransferring Member, then all such Gross Income, Net Profit or Net Loss (or other items) shall be allocated between the transferor and transferee based upon an interim closing of the Company’s books and records.

Subject to Section 3.4, all of the Company Assets, if any, other than cash, shall be offered promptly for sale upon such terms as the Liquidating Trustee shall reasonably determine, using the above appraisal as a guide. Subject to Section 3.4, the decision to accept or

  reject an offer to purchase Company Assets shall be made solely by the Liquidating Trustee. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein (including without limitation Section 2.8, which shall not apply to the Liquidating Trustee in its capacity as such even if such Liquidating Trustee is a Member or Investment Manager), all decisions of the Liquidating Trustee shall be made in accordance with the fiduciary duty owed by the Liquidating Trustee to the Company and each of the Members. In winding up the affairs of the Company, the Liquidating Trustee shall pay the liabilities of the Company in such order of priority as provided by law.

 

  (b)

In the discretion of the Liquidating Trustee, a pro rata portion of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the Members pursuant to Section 7.4 may be:

 

  (1)

distributed to a trust established for the benefit of the Members for the purposes of liquidating Company Assets, collecting amounts owed to the Company, and paying any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company or the Members arising out of or in connection with the Company. The assets of any such trust shall be distributed to the Members from time to time, in the reasonable discretion of the Liquidating Trustee, in the same proportions as the amount distributed to such trust by the Company would otherwise have been distributed to the Members pursuant to Section 7.4; or

 

  (2)

withheld to provide a reasonable reserve for Company liabilities (contingent or otherwise) and to reflect the unrealized portion of any installment obligations owed to the Company, provided that such withheld amounts shall be distributed to the Members as soon as practicable.

ARTICLE X

EVENT OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES

Section 10.1    Event of Default.

 

  (a)

If an Event of Default shall occur with respect to a Member (the “Defaulting Member”) and not with respect to the other Member (the “Non-Defaulting Member”), the Non-Defaulting Member (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Non-Defaulting Member beyond all applicable notice or cure periods, if any, set forth in the “Event of Default” definition) shall have the remedies set forth in this Article X in addition to all other rights and remedies provided in this Agreement or otherwise available at law or in equity. All such rights and remedies shall be cumulative, and the exercise of one or more remedies shall not prejudice or waive the exercise of any other remedies.

  (b)

Subject to the provisions of this Section 10.1(b), if an Event of Default with respect to any Member has occurred and is continuing (beyond all applicable notice or cure periods, if any, set forth in the “Event of Default” definition), the Non-Defaulting Member may, upon delivery of written notice to the Defaulting Member within forty-five (45) calendar days of the Non-Defaulting Member becoming aware of such purported Event of Default, eliminate any of the duties or obligations of the Defaulting Member or its Affiliates under Section 3.2 (if Sponsor is the Defaulting Member) or Section 3.3 (if Investor is the Defaulting Member) if (and so long as) the Non-Defaulting Member simultaneously exercises its right under Section 10.4 by delivery of a Section 10.4 Notice to the Defaulting Member and otherwise complies with all of the terms and provisions thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, if at any time following the exercise of its right to eliminate duties and obligations of the Defaulting Member hereunder, the Non-Defaulting Member fails to comply with the provisions of Section 10.4, including with all of the deadlines set forth therein, the Defaulting Member shall have all of its rights under this Agreement restored and the Non-Defaulting Member shall not thereafter be permitted to exercise its rights under this Section 10.1(b) with respect to the applicable Event of Default.

Section 10.2    Termination of Fees. Following the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to Sponsor, Investor Manager shall have the right to terminate the Oversight Fee payable to any Sponsor Party by the Company pursuant to Section 3.9.

Section 10.3    Right of Offset. Following the occurrence of either (i) an Event of Default that results in a Loss as to which the Company is entitled to compensation from the Defaulting Member hereunder, or (ii) a material default or material misrepresentation by a Member Party (the “MIPA Defaulting Party”) under the MIPA that results in a Loss for which the Company is entitled to indemnity under the MIPA, the Non-Defaulting Member (which, for purposes of this Section 10.3, shall include the Member that is not an Affiliate of the MIPA Defaulting Party) shall have the right to cause the Company to withhold any distributions, or payments of money, by the Company, to the Defaulting Member (which, for purposes of this Section 10.3, shall include the Member that is an Affiliate of the MIPA Defaulting Party) or any Affiliate of the Defaulting Member until such time as the Event of Default is cured or until the recoverable Loss has been paid to the Company, either pursuant to such withholding or otherwise. The Members shall cause the Company to apply such withheld amounts to pay such recoverable Loss to the Company and any amounts withheld in excess of such amount shall be promptly released and paid to the Member who would have received such distribution but for the provisions of this Section 10.3.

Section 10.4    Right to Purchase the Membership Interest of Defaulting Member.

 

  (a)

Following the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Non-Defaulting Member may, subject to Section 10.5, purchase the Defaulting Member’s Membership Interest. Such option to purchase shall be exercisable by delivery of notice in writing to the Defaulting Member (“Section 10.4 Notice”).

 

LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT

VIDA JV LLC

  Page 55


  (b)

The purchase price to be paid by the Non-Defaulting Member under this Section 10.4 shall equal (i) the Base Price, less (ii) the amount of any Loss suffered (or otherwise incurred) by the Company, any Subsidiary, the Non-Defaulting Member and/or any Affiliate of the Non-Defaulting Member as a direct or indirect result of the Event of Default, less (iii) any other amount then owed by the Defaulting Member or any Affiliate of the Defaulting Member to the Company, the Non-Defaulting Member or any Affiliate of the Non-Defaulting Member, but only in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) if such Loss or other amount was not taken into account in determining the Appraised Value. The purchase price shall be payable in cash or other immediately available funds at the time of the consummation of the sale. The sale shall be consummated at a time designated by the Non-Defaulting Member, but no later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the Section 10.4 Notice; provided, however, that the Non-Defaulting Member may revoke any Section 10.4 Notice (and its exercise of the rights under this Section 10.4) at any time. The Defaulting Member shall execute and deliver such deeds, assignments and other documents, with reasonable warranties of title, as shall be necessary to convey the Membership Interest of the Defaulting Member, and the interest of the Defaulting Member in the Project and all other Company Assets, to the Non-Defaulting Member. If the Defaulting Member fails or refuses to execute any such document, then the Non-Defaulting Member is hereby granted irrevocable powers of attorney, which shall be binding on the Defaulting Member as to all third Persons, to execute and deliver on behalf of the Defaulting Member such document. The aforesaid powers, which are coupled with an interest, are irrevocable by dissolution or otherwise. The Non-Defaulting Member may assign its rights to acquire the Membership Interest of the Defaulting Member to any Person.

 

  (c)

For purposes of Section 10.4(b), except as otherwise set forth below, the “Base Price” shall equal the amount that would have been received by the Defaulting Member pursuant to Section 7.4 (but, if an Event of Default has occurred with respect to a Sponsor Party under clause (a) of the “Event of Default” definition, any and all distributions to the Defaulting Member pursuant to Section 7.3(c)(3) as a result of references thereto pursuant to Section 7.4 shall be made at Sharing Ratios) had the Company Assets been sold for its Appraised Value (as defined under Section 10.4(d)) as of the closing date of the purchase pursuant to this Section 10.4, and had the Company then (A) paid in full all of its debts and liabilities and all other loans and encumbrances to which the Project is subject, (B) made customary apportionments as of the closing date of the purchase pursuant to this Section 10.4 in the closing of real estate transactions in the metropolitan areas in which the Project is located,

 

LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT

  including market-rate brokerage fees and other customary closing costs, (C) not established any reserves, and (D) distributed all remaining cash pursuant to Section 7.4 (but, if an Event of Default has occurred with respect to a Sponsor Party under clause (a) of the “Event of Default” definition, any and all distributions to the Defaulting Member pursuant to Section 7.3(c)(3) as a result of references thereto pursuant to Section 7.4 shall be made at Sharing Ratios).

 

  (d)

The term “Appraised Value” shall mean the fair market value of the Project or such portion thereof then owned by the Company as determined by an appraisal conducted as follows:

 

  (1)

The Members shall seek to determine the Appraised Value of the Project for a fifteen (15) day period after the Section 10.4 Notice. If the Members are unable to reach an agreement within such period, then the Non-Defaulting Member and the Defaulting Member each shall designate by written notice to the other, a Person to act as the appraiser for the purpose of establishing the Appraised Value of the Project within five (5) Business Days following the expiration of the fifteen (15) day period set forth in the first sentence of this Section 10.4(d)(1). If either the Non-Defaulting Member or the Defaulting Member fails to timely appoint an appraiser, then the American Arbitration Association (in any location where the Project is located) shall appoint an appraiser on behalf of such Member. If the appraisers are timely appointed by the Non-Defaulting Member and the Defaulting Member, then the two appraisers shall proceed to determine the Appraised Value of the Project. The appraisers shall have fifteen (15) days after the appraisers have been designated to agree upon the Appraised Value of the Project. If there is a five percent (5%) or less variance between the two appraisers’ opinions as to the Appraised Value, the Appraised Value shall be the arithmetic average of the two appraisers’ figures. If there is a greater than five percent (5%) variance between the two appraisers’ opinions as to the Appraised Value, then the two appraisers shall jointly appoint a third appraiser within five (5) Business Days following the date of the issuance of the appraisers’ opinions. If a third appraiser is not timely appointed, then the American Arbitration Association (in any location where the Project is located) shall appoint the third appraiser. The third appraiser shall have ten (10) days following his or her appointment to determine which of the two appraisers’ opinions shall be selected as the Appraised Value. Each party shall have the responsibility for the payment of the expenses of each of their appraisers and each shall pay one-half of the expenses of the third appraiser, if one is appointed.

 

LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT

VIDA JV LLC

  Page 57


  (2)

The appraiser or appraisers appointed pursuant to Section 10.4(d)(1) shall specialize in the appraisal of real estate projects similar to the Project in the regions where the Project is located, shall have no less than five years’ experience in such field and shall be recognized as ethical and reputable. The appraiser or appraisers appointed pursuant to Section 10.4(d)(1) shall not have any personal or financial interest as would disqualify any such appraiser from exercising an independent and impartial judgment as to the value of the Project. Unless the Members themselves have agreed upon the Appraised Value as provided in the first sentence of Section 10.4(d)(1), the Appraised Value of the Project shall be equal to the valuation of the Project as determined by the appraiser or appraisers appointed pursuant to Section 10.4(d)(1). The appraisal shall be submitted to the Non-Defaulting Member and the Defaulting Member in accordance with Section 10.4(d)(1). The decision of the appraiser(s) shall be binding on the Members.

 

  (3)

In determining the Appraised Value of the Project, the appraiser(s) shall be instructed to assume that the Project is sold in an arm’s length transaction, as though unencumbered by any financing, and without consideration of any costs, expenses, or taxes that would be incurred in connection with the sale.

 

  (4)

Each Member shall have the right to submit written information, requests, arguments, supporting data, and other relevant matters to the appraiser(s).

Section 10.5    Expedited Arbitration. If there is a dispute between the Members regarding the occurrence of an Event of Default, then the Non-Defaulting Member shall not deliver the Section 10.4 Notice to the Defaulting Member and initiate the purchase process under Section 10.4 or be entitled to exercise any other rights or remedies that would otherwise arise hereunder as a result of an Event of Default, until the alleged Event of Default is finally determined to have occurred in a binding award issued by an arbitrator pursuant to the expedited arbitration process set forth under this Section 10.5. As its exclusive method of disputing that such Event of Default has occurred, the Member that is alleged to be the Defaulting Member shall have the right, within ten (10) Business Days after receiving written notice of such Event of Default from the other Member, to initiate a proceeding for final and binding arbitration in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 10.5.

 

  (a)

Any arbitration under this Section 10.5 shall be conducted in accordance with the expedited procedures set forth in the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures as those Rules exist on the effective date of this Agreement, including Rules 16.1 and 16.2 of those Rules (or, if JAMS is no longer in existence, then administered by National Arbitration and Mediation in accordance with its Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures in effect at that time; and if National Arbitration and

  Mediation is no longer in existence, then administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Expedited Procedures of its Commercial Arbitration Rules in effect at that time; and if none of the preceding remains in existence, by any succeeding or substantially similar dispute resolution organization in accordance with its expedited arbitration procedures then in effect). A single arbitrator will be selected pursuant to such rules and procedures (the “Arbitrator”).

 

  (b)

The sole matters to be determined by the Arbitrator shall be whether the alleged Event of Default had occurred and was continuing (beyond all applicable notice or cure periods, if any, set forth in the “Event of Default” definition) with respect to the Defaulting Member and, if alleged, that no Event of Default had occurred and was continuing with respect to the Non-Defaulting Member at the time Non-Defaulting Member attempted to enforce its remedies under Article X and other matters related to whether the rights and remedies under Article X were properly exercised, and the Arbitrator shall not render a decision with respect to any other matter, nor award any monetary damages or any other form of relief. The Arbitrator shall determine whether the applicable Event of Default has occurred in accordance with the law of the State of Delaware and in rendering its decision, will be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and will not have the power to add to, subtract from or otherwise modify such provisions.

 

  (c)

The arbitration (and all hearings related to the arbitration) shall be conducted in Delaware. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language. The decision of the Arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties. Either Member may enforce the decision of the Arbitrator in the Delaware Court of Chancery.

 

  (d)    (1)

If the Arbitrator determines that the applicable Event of Default occurred, then the Defaulting Member shall be solely responsible for paying any fees and disbursements due to JAMS and the Arbitrator, as well as all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Non-Defaulting Member (including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements), in connection with the arbitration proceeding.

 

  (2)

If the Arbitrator determines that the applicable Event of Default has not occurred, then the Member that delivered written notice of the alleged Event of Default to the other Member shall be solely responsible for paying any fees and disbursements due to JAMS and the Arbitrator, as well as all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Member alleged to have committed such Event of Default (including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements), in connection with the arbitration proceeding.

ARTICLE XII

FORCED SALE

Section 12.1    Forced Sale.

 

  (a)

Initiation of Forced Sale. At any time after (i) with respect to Investor Manager only, the second (2nd) anniversary of the Effective Date, or (ii) the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Effective Date, Investor Manager, on behalf of Investor, and Sponsor may each elect, as applicable, to send to the other a written notice (the “Forced Sale Notice”) stating that the Member giving such notice (the “Forced Sale Initiating Member”) is initiating the sale of the Project (or in the event any of the Properties have been sold, the remaining Properties constituting the Project) in accordance with this Section 12.1 and stating a purchase price (the “Forced Sale Price”), payable in cash, for the Project at which the Forced Sale Initiating Member would agree to the sale of the Project; provided, however, that (A) if Sponsor or, following the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Effective Date, Investor is the Forced Sale Initiating Member, then Sponsor or Investor shall have the right to send a Forced Sale Notice under the foregoing only with respect to all of the remaining Properties constituting the Project, and (B) if Investor is the Forced Sale Initiating Member and the Forced Sale Notice is delivered after the second (2nd) anniversary of the Effective Date but on or before the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Effective Date, then (1) the value of the portion of the Project sold in such sale (together with the value of any portion of the Project sold in any prior sales pursuant to this clause (B)) shall not exceed thirty percent (30%) of the value of the Project (with the value of each Property being determined by reference to the initial Price Allocation), (2) if any FMC Property is proposed to be sold in such sale, all FMC Properties shall be proposed to be sold in such sale, (3) if any of the Coral Springs Properties is proposed to be sold in such sale, all Coral Springs Properties shall be proposed to be sold in such sale, (4) if any of the Castle Rock Properties is proposed to be sold in such sale, all Castle Rock Properties shall be proposed to be sold in such sale, and (5) if any of the Stone Oak Properties is proposed to be sold in such sale, all Stone Oak Properties shall be proposed to be sold in such sale, in each case of clauses (2)-(5), subject to clause (1). The Forced Sale Price shall be the Forced Sale Initiating Member’s good faith determination of the fair market value of the Project (or the applicable portion of the Project) prevalent in the market for a proposed sale of the Project (or the applicable portion of the Project) to a third party; provided, however, neither Investor Manager nor Sponsor shall be entitled to invoke the provisions of this Section 12.1 (A) while a contract of sale is in effect with respect to all of the Project (or any portion of the Project), or (B) while an exclusive period under a letter of intent for the sale of all of the Project (or any portion of the Project) is in effect, and provided further that Sponsor shall have no right to invoke the provisions of this Section 12.1 if

 

LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT

  Page 64


  an Event of Default has occurred. Within thirty (30) days after its receipt of a Forced Sale Notice (the “Forced Sale Response Period”), the Member (or Investor Manager on behalf of Investor) that is the recipient of said notice (the “Forced Sale Responding Member”) may elect by giving written notice without qualification or condition (a “Purchase Election Notice”) to the Forced Sale Initiating Member to purchase, or cause its nominee or designee to purchase, the Project (or the applicable portion of the Project) for the Forced Sale Price, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 12.1(c)(2). If the Forced Sale Responding Member timely gives a Purchase Election Notice, then the Members shall proceed in accordance with Section 12.1(c). The failure of the Forced Sale Responding Member to timely give a Purchase Election Notice shall be deemed notice of an election to decline the offer contained in the Forced Sale Notice. The date as of which the Forced Sale Responding Member shall have given a Purchase Election Notice of its election to decline the offer (or be deemed to have made an election to decline the offer) shall be the “Forced Sale Election Date”.

 

  (b)

If the Forced Sale Notice is Declined. If the Forced Sale Responding Member declines (or is deemed to decline) to purchase the Project (or the applicable portion of the Project) under clause (a) above, then notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary the Forced Sale Initiating Member shall have the right to cause the Company to enter into a written purchase and sale agreement with a third party for the sale of the Project (or the applicable portion of the Project) on market terms, as determined by the Forced Sale Initiating Member in good faith, except that the gross sales price shall in no event be less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the Forced Sale Price (a “Qualifying Sale Agreement”) and to enter into related documents (such as brokerage agreements) in good faith and cause the consummation of said sale in accordance with a Qualifying Sale Agreement within nine (9) months after the Forced Sale Election Date (the “Forced Sale Period”). If the sale of the Project (or the applicable portion of the Project) is not consummated pursuant to a Qualifying Sale Agreement during the Forced Sale Period, then the Forced Sale Initiating Member shall not be entitled to deliver a Forced Sale Notice for at least one (1) year after the earlier of (A) the date on which the Forced Sale Initiating Member stops all sale activities related to the Project, or (B) the last day of the Forced Sale Period.

 

  (c)

If the Purchase Election Notice is given, then the following shall apply:

 

  (1)

ROFO Deposit. The Forced Sale Responding Member shall make an earnest money deposit (the “ROFO Deposit”) equal to two percent (2%) of the Forced Sale Price within three (3) Business Days following the Forced Sale Election Date. The ROFO Deposit shall be delivered, in immediately available funds, to a national

  title company selected by Forced Sale Responding Member and reasonably acceptable to Forced Sale Initiating Member, which title company shall perform the services of escrow agent for the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Section 12.1(c) (the “ROFO Closing”). The ROFO Deposit shall be refundable to the Forced Sale Responding Member except in the event the ROFO Closing does not occur as a result of a default by the Forced Sale Responding Member in performing its closing obligations pursuant to this Section 12.1(c), in which case the ROFO Deposit shall be retained by the Forced Sale Initiating Member as liquidated damages in lieu of all other remedies.

 

  (2)

Closing Process. The ROFO Closing shall occur on the date (the “ROFO Closing Date”) that is (i) one hundred twenty (120) days following the Forced Sale Election Date unless such date is not a Business Day, in which case the ROFO Closing Date shall be the next Business Day, or (ii) an earlier date agreed upon by Investor Manager and Sponsor. The ROFO Closing shall be completed through a customary closing escrow. At the ROFO Closing, the Forced Sale Responding Member, or its nominee or designee, shall pay to the Company an amount equal to (A) the Forced Sale Price, less (B) the ROFO Deposit (provided that the ROFO Deposit is paid at the ROFO Closing to the Company), less (C) the principal balance of any Loan secured by the Project (or the applicable portion of the Project) (if the Forced Sale Responding Member, or its nominee or designee, as applicable, elects, to the extent permitted or required by the Lender if such Loan is assumable, to assume such Loan at the ROFO Closing), plus or minus (as applicable) (D) prorations as provided below. At the ROFO Closing, the Company shall convey to the Forced Sale Responding Member (or its nominee or designee) good and indefeasible title to (i) the portion of the Project constituting real property by special warranty deed (or the local law equivalent) or (ii) the ground lessee leasehold interest in the portion of the Project subject to ground leases by an assignment and assumption of ground lessee’s leasehold interest in the ground lease, in “as is, where is” condition, with all faults and subject to all liens, encumbrances and other matters of title affecting the Project (or the applicable portion of the Project) (including any mortgages securing any Loan in connection with the Project) except for (x) all liens and encumbrances affecting the Project created in violation of this Agreement by the Forced Sale Responding Member or any Affiliate thereof, and (y) all liens and encumbrances that the Company would reasonably likely be required to remove if the Company had sold the Project to a Person in an arms-length transaction. For no additional consideration, the Company shall

  also convey all of the tangible personal property owned by the Company to the Forced Sale Responding Member (or its designee) in its “as is, where is” condition, with all faults and without warranty (other than a special warranty of title, or the local law equivalent) and the Company shall also assign, and Forced Sale Responding Member (or its designee) shall assume, all of the Company’s right, title and interest in the Leases, property agreements, any first mortgage Loan assumed at the ROFO Closing and any other intangible property owned by the Company pursuant to customary written instruments in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Forced Sale Initiating Member and Forced Sale Responding Member. Investor Manager and Sponsor agree to cooperate and to take all actions and execute all other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to reflect the purchase of the Project (or the applicable portion of the Project) by the Forced Sale Responding Member or its nominee or designee. At the ROFO Closing, the Forced Sale Initiating Member and Forced Sale Responding Member shall apportion all items of income and expense relating to the Project (or the applicable portion of the Project) in an equitable manner as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the ROFO Closing so that the income and expense items with respect to the period up to and including the day before the ROFO Closing will be for the Company’s account and the income and expense items with respect to the period commencing on the day of the ROFO Closing will be for the Forced Sale Responding Member’s (or its nominee’s or designee’s) account. Said apportionments and adjustments shall be set forth on a closing statement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Forced Sale Initiating Member and Forced Sale Responding Member and executed by the Company and the Forced Sale Responding Member or its nominee or designee. All such apportionments shall be made on the basis of good faith estimates of Investor Manager and Sponsor using currently available information and final adjustment shall be made promptly after precise figures are determined or available, and in any event within one (1) year after the ROFO Closing. The Forced Sale Responding Member (or its nominee or designee) shall be responsible for the payment of any loan assumption, transfer or related consent fees and expenses and for all other closing costs (such as, by way of example, costs of title insurance and recording fees and taxes) incurred in excess of those which would have been incurred had the Forced Sale Responding Member exercised the option described in Section 12.1(c)(4). All other costs shall be borne by the party that incurs said costs.

Failure to Close. If as a result of a default of Forced Sale Responding Member under this Section 12.1(c) the ROFO Closing is not consummated, then the Forced Sale Initiating Member shall be entitled to retain the ROFO Deposit as liquidated damages in lieu of all other remedies, and the Forced Sale Responding Member shall be prohibited from sending a Forced Sale Notice for a period ending on the two (2) year anniversary of the ROFO Closing Date. Additionally, the Forced Sale Initiating Member shall be entitled to enter into a Qualifying Sale Agreement and to consummate a sale of the Project (or the applicable portion of the Project) in accordance with Section 12.1(b) just as if the Forced Sale Responding Member had not timely given the Purchase Election Notice provided that for purposes of determining the Forced Sale Period, the Forced Sale Election Date shall be the ROFO Closing Date. If as a result of the default of Forced Sale Initiating Member under this Section 12.1(c) the ROFO Closing is not consummated on or before the ROFO Closing Date, then the Forced Sale Responding Member shall have all rights and remedies available to it hereunder or at law or equity, including the right to seek specific performance and the Forced Sale Initiating Member shall be prohibited from sending a Forced Sale Notice for a period ending on the second (2nd) anniversary of the ROFO Closing Date.

 

  (4)

Right to Structure as Sale of Interests in the Company. Either Sponsor or Investor Manager (on behalf of Investor) may, not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the ROFO Closing Date, notify the other Member that the transaction contemplated by this Section 12.1(c) be consummated by the Forced Sale Responding Member purchasing the Forced Sale Initiating Member’s Membership Interest rather than the Project, provided that (i) the provisions of this Section 12.1(c)(4) shall apply to a sale of the entire Project only, and (ii) the Forced Sale Initiating Member shall also cause each Affiliate that is a Member to sell its Membership Interest under the foregoing. Sponsor and Investor Manager shall then cooperate to effectuate such a transaction at no incremental costs or expense to the Forced Sale Initiating Member. At the ROFO Closing under this scenario, (y) the Forced Sale Initiating Member shall convey its Membership Interest to the Forced Sale Responding Member (or its designee) pursuant to a reasonably acceptable assignment and assumption agreement, and (z) the Forced Sale Responding Member shall pay to the Forced Sale Initiating Member the money the Forced Sale Initiating Member would have received had the Forced Sale Responding Member purchased the Project under this Section 12.1 and the Company had distributed the Extraordinary Cash Flow therefrom to the

  Page 68


  Members in accordance with Section 7.4. Additionally, at the request of the Forced Sale Responding Member and at no cost, expense or additional liability (tax or otherwise) to the Forced Sale Initiating Member, the Forced Sale Initiating Member shall further reasonably cooperate in good faith with the Forced Sale Responding Member in structuring the purchase pursuant to this Section 12.1 by methods that minimize the gain or other tax effects of the purchase upon the Forced Sale Responding Member.

 

  (5)

Indemnification of Sponsor. If Sponsor is the Forced Sale Initiating Member under this Section 12.1, then Investor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Lender to release the applicable Sponsor Party from any and all obligations any Sponsor Party may have pursuant to any guaranties to any Lender for the period from and after the ROFO Closing Date. If the applicable Lender is not willing to release the applicable Sponsor Party under any such guaranty, then the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless any Sponsor Party under any Lender guaranty (other than with respect to any obligation or liability which results from a Sponsor Party Event of Default) from and against all obligations of the Company that accrue after the ROFO Closing Date and from and against any obligations Sponsor or its Affiliates have pursuant to any guaranties to any Lender that accrue after the closing date.

SCHEDULE 3.1

REIT COMPLIANCE

Real Estate Investment Trust Limitations. Sponsor and Investor Manager each agree and acknowledge that an equity owner of each of Sponsor and Investor is a REIT that must comply with certain provisions of the Code. Accordingly, the Company and the Subsidiaries shall be operated such that the nature of their assets and gross revenues (as determined pursuant to Section 856(c)(2), (3) and (4) of the Code) would permit the Company to qualify as a REIT under Section 856 of the Code (assuming for this purpose that the Company were a REIT and treating any entity that is classified for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a corporation as a “taxable REIT subsidiary” under Section 856(l) of the Code if the Sponsor and Investor (and their direct and indirect members) were permitted to make a timely taxable REIT subsidiary election with respect to such corporation), and to cause the Company to avoid any “income from foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 857(b)(4) of the Code and any “net income derived from prohibited transactions” within the meaning of Section 857(b)(6) of the Code (determined as if the Company were a REIT but without regard to Sections 856(c)(6) and (7) of the Code). The Managers shall take or refrain from taking, as the case may be, such actions as are reasonably requested by the Sponsor or Investor to protect the status of the Sponsor, Investor or any direct or indirect owner or owners of the Sponsor or Investor as a REIT. In that regard and except as Sponsor and Investor Manager may Approve to the contrary, notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, Sponsor and Investor Manager agree as follows:

 

  (a)

Company Assets. Other than assets held in connection with hedges, assets held as reserves pursuant to a loan agreement, and other similar assets, during the term of the Company, the assets of the Company will consist only of either (i) direct ownership interests in (1) cash or cash items, (2) fee ownership of the Land (or a portion thereof) or ground lessee leasehold interest in the Land (or a portion thereof), as applicable, and the Improvements, (3) the personal property held in connection with the Project, (4) the Leases, and (5) that certain Promissory Note, dated October 5, 2015, from Cynthia Elizabeth Collins, MD and Temple Health & Wellness Center, Inc. as maker, or (ii) ownership interests in entities that are disregarded as separate from the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes pursuant to Regulations § 301.7701-2(c)(2), all of the assets of which consist of the foregoing type of assets. Specifically, but without limitation, the Company will not during its term:

 

  (1)

acquire, own or hold any stock of (or other ownership interest in) a corporation other than a REIT or Approved TRS (or other entity treated for federal income tax purposes as an association taxable as a corporation other than a REIT or Approved TRS);

 

  (2)

form a corporation other than a REIT or Approved TRS (or any other entity treated for federal income tax purposes as an association taxable as a corporation other than a REIT or Approved TRS)

 

LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT

VIDA JV LLC


  (3)

merge with or into (or otherwise transfer all or a portion of its interests to) a corporation or any other entity treated for federal income tax purposes as an association taxable as a corporation other than a REIT

 

  (4)

acquire, own or hold any convertible debt instrument;

 

  (5)

acquire, own or hold any security, warrant, option, subscription agreement, or contract for the acquisition of an asset, including any security described in Sections 856(c)(4)(B)(iii)(II) or 856(c)(4)(B)(iii)(III) of the Code other than for the purpose of holding such asset in connection with a loan agreement;

 

  (6)

acquire, own, sell, hold or create any asset or other property of a kind that would properly be included in inventory of the Company if on hand at the close of the Taxable Year or property held by the Company primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of its trade or business, within the meaning of Section 1221(a)(1) of the Code, including interests in residential development property;

 

  (7)

acquire, own or operate a motel or hotel; or

 

  (8)

conduct any business other than the business of owning and operating the Project.

 

  (b)

Two-Year Holding Requirement. Except as Approved by Investor Manager and Sponsor, the Company will not sell or otherwise dispose of any real estate asset, as defined in Section 856(c)(5)(B) of the Code, prior to the second anniversary of the acquisition of such real estate asset by the Company.

 

  (c)

Foreclosure Property. The Company will not acquire any real property by foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or a default on indebtedness that such property secures.

 

  (d)

Income Requirements. Each of Sponsor and Investor Manager shall conduct its duties in such a manner that all of the gross income of the Company during its term of existence will consist of (i) interest (as referred to in Section 856(c)(2)(B) or Section 856(c)(3)(B) of the Code), (ii) rents from real property (as defined in Section 856(d) of the Code), (iii) gain from the sale or disposition of the Project, (iv) abatements and refunds of taxes on real property (as referred to in Section 856(c)(2)(E) or Section 856(c)(3)(E) of the Code), (v) income and gain derived from

 

LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT

VIDA JV LLC


  foreclosure property (as defined in Section 856(e) of the Code), and (vi) other income not described in clauses (i) through (v) provided that such other income shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the total gross income of the Project for each Taxable Year.

 

  (e)

Services. Each service provided to tenants of the Project, whether or not there is a separate charge for such service, shall either (i) be performed by an independent contractor, as such term is defined in Section 856(d)(3) of the Code or by an Approved TRS (provided that Sponsor and Investor Manager shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Company not to enter into any service agreement with respect to the Project with any party other than an Approved TRS if the prospective service provider could be a related party with respect to Sponsor or Investor within the meaning of Section 856(d)(3) of the Code), (ii) be a service that is “usually or customarily rendered in connection with the rental or rooms or other space for occupancy only,” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.512(b)-(1(c)(5), or (iii) be rendered for an amount that does not exceed one (1) percent of all amounts received or accrued directly or indirectly during the Taxable Year with respect to any particular property. The Company may not receive or derive income from any independent contractor (within the meaning of Section 856(d)(3) of the Code) that provides services to the Project. Each relationship between the Company and any independent contractor must be an arm’s length relationship and the independent contractor must be adequately compensated for any services it performs. If noncustomary services are rendered to a tenant by an independent contractor, the cost of the services will be borne by the independent contractor, a separate charge must be made for the services, the separate charge must be received and retained by the independent contractor and the independent contractor must be adequately compensated for the services or if provided by an Approved TRS, such Approved TRS must receive gross income from such service at least equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of its direct cost of furnishing or rendering such service or, if less, the arm’s length price of such services.

 

  (f)

Leases.

 

  (1)

Each of Sponsor and Investor Manager shall use its best efforts to cause the Company not to enter into any lease with respect to the Project or consent to a sublease or an assignment of a lease if the prospective tenant, sublessee or assignee could be a related party with respect to Sponsor or Investor within the meaning of Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code. In addition, each of Sponsor and Investor shall furnish the Managers with a list of all tenants from whom the Company reasonably anticipates deriving rental revenues that represent five percent (5%) or more of the

 

LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT

VIDA JV LLC


  Company’s aggregate rental revenues for any year at least quarterly, and each of Sponsor and Investor shall inform the Managers whether such tenants could be considered related to such Member pursuant to Section 856 of the Code.

 

  (2)

Neither Sponsor, Investor Manager nor the Company will enter into any lease associated with the Project with respect to personal property unless such personal property is leased in connection with a lease of real property and only if the rent attributable to the personal property at no time during the term of the lease will exceed fifteen (15%) of the income from such lease, based on the ratio of the fair market value of the personal property to the fair market value of all the property subject to the lease.

 

  (3)

Neither Sponsor, Investor Manager nor the Company will enter into any lease (or consent to any sublease or assignment) with respect to the Project if the determination of any amount under the lease (or sublease or assignment) depends in whole or in part on the income or profits derived by any person from such property, within the meaning of Section 856(d)(2)(A) of the Code; provided however, that percentage rent based on gross receipts of a tenant is acceptable and percentage rent based on the income of a tenant is acceptable to the extent attributable to “qualified rents” (as defined in Section 856(d)(6)(B) of the Code) received or accrued by such tenant.

 

  (4)

Neither Sponsor, Investor Manager nor the Company shall perform any construction work in connection with the finish out, tenant improvements or the development or redevelopment of the Project or any portion thereof.

 

  (g)

Hedges. Any hedging transaction (as defined in Section 1221(b)(2)(A) of the Code) entered into by the Company must be clearly identified as such before the close of the Business Day on which it was acquired, originated or entered into and the item or items hedged must be identified as provided in applicable Regulations under Section 1221 of the Code. Any such hedging transactions entered into by the Company will otherwise comply with the hedging rules contained in Section 1221 of the Code.
