(a)    Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to an express right to terminate as herein provided, the closing hereunder related to the purchase and sale of the Assets (the “Closing”) shall occur at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time on the thirtieth (30th) day following the date that is the later of (i) the expiration of the Diligence Period, or (ii) the date on which all conditions to such Closing expressly stated in this Agreement are satisfied or waived in writing, or such other date as may be mutually agreed to by the parties (the “Closing Date”).  Subject to the preceding sentence, the parties hereto acknowledge that their respective intention is to have a Closing Date which is the last day of a 

4




calendar month.  For purposes of the foregoing, if said 30th day is not the last day of a calendar month, the Closing Date shall be on the last day of the current calendar month in which said 30th day occurs. The Closing will be effective for accounting purposes as of 11:59:59 p.m. Pacific Time on the Closing Date (the “Effective Time”) such that the Closing Date will be a day of income and expense to Seller.  The Closing shall take place through an exchange of consideration and documents using overnight courier service, wire transfers, electronic mail or facsimile.
(b)    On the Closing Date, all documents and other materials required from Seller under Section 10.1(b) (collectively, the “Seller Documents”) and from Real Estate Purchasers and the TRS Entity under Section 10.1(c) (collectively, the “Purchaser Documents”) in order to effectuate the consummation of the Closing shall be delivered to the offices of the Title Company, as escrow agent, or at such other place as Purchaser may reasonably require.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Seller may deliver all of the Seller Documents required hereunder to the Title Company or to Purchaser’s counsel on or before the Closing Date (to hold in escrow in accordance with customary conveyancing practices subject to the consummation of the Closing), and (ii) Real Estate Purchasers and the TRS Entity may deliver all of the Purchaser Documents required hereunder to the Title Company or to Seller’s counsel on or before the Closing Date (to hold in escrow in accordance with customary conveyancing practices subject to the consummation of the Closing).  
1.4    Purchase Price.  The aggregate purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the Assets shall be Sixty Six Million and No/100 Dollars ($66,000,000.00), subject to the prorations and further adjustments as provided for in this Agreement.  Subject to the terms of Section 1.7, and solely for the purpose of allocating certain Closing costs hereunder, the Purchase Price for the Ridgewood Facility Assets is stipulated be Twenty-three Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($23,500,000.00), and the purchase price for the Fountain View Facility is stipulated to be Forty-two Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($42,500,000.00), subject to the prorations and further adjustments as provided for in this Agreement.  
1.5    Payment of Purchase Price.  
(a)    Within three (3) Business Days following the later of (i) the Date of Execution and (ii) the commencement of the Diligence Period, Purchaser shall deposit with Chicago Title Insurance Company, as escrow agent (“Escrow Agent”), an amount equal to Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000) (together with any interest and earnings thereon, the “Deposit”), which amount shall be held pursuant to the terms of the escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”).  
(b)    At the Closing, Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) of the Purchase Price for the Ridgewood Facility and Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) of the Purchase Price for the Fountain View Facility (which amounts may be adjusted during the Diligence Period by agreement of the parties) will be retained by Purchaser for the one (1) year period following the Closing Date as a non-exclusive source of funds to satisfy any Purchaser Indemnified Losses made by any Purchaser Indemnified Party (the “Indemnity Holdback”).  Purchaser reserves the right during the Due Diligence Period to negotiate for a higher Indemnity Holdback not to exceed Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($750,000.00) per Property based upon information it learns during its investigations.  Fifty percent (50%) of the Indemnity Holdback then remaining, less the amount of any Purchaser Indemnified Losses against the Indemnity Holdback that are outstanding as of said date, will be released to Seller within thirty (30) days after the first six months of the Closing, and the remaining balance of the Indemnity Holdback, if any, less the amount of any Purchaser Indemnified Losses against the remaining 

5




balance of the Indemnity Holdback that are outstanding as of said date, will be released to Seller within thirty (30) days after the first anniversary of the Closing.  The conditions for the release or forfeiture of the Indemnity Holdback are more particularly set forth in that certain Indemnity Holdback Agreement, which shall be executed and delivered by Purchaser and Seller at the Closing, in the form to be agreed upon during the Diligence Period (the “Indemnity Holdback Agreement”).
(c)    At the Closing, Purchaser shall pay the Purchase Price, adjusted for any prorations, credits and additions for the benefit of Purchaser or Seller as specified in this Agreement, less the Deposit by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to the Title Company, and the Title Company shall disburse all funds it receives from the parties in connection with the Closing pursuant to the Closing Statement.  Seller shall be responsible for any prepayment penalties or fees associated with the pay-off of any debt encumbering the Real Property or any of the other Assets.
(d)    At the Closing, Seller shall pay and discharge in full any and all Monetary Encumbrances, and Seller shall pay all penalties, fees and charges in connection therewith.  
(e)    Any provision herein that entitles Purchaser to a return of the Deposit upon termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be construed to provide for a return of the entire portion of the Deposit and any interest earned or accrued thereon held by Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, if any. 
(f)    At the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall make the adjustments and prorations specified in Sections 1.5, 6.1, 10.2 and 10.3 and shall, as applicable, make the payments set forth in the Closing Statement. 
1.6    Assumed Liabilities and Excluded Liabilities.  
(a)    At the Closing, neither Purchaser nor any of the Real Estate Purchasers nor TRS Entity shall assume any liabilities or obligations of Seller whatsoever, fixed or contingent, other than (i) the applicable Real Estate Purchaser shall accept title to the applicable Real Property, subject however to obtaining any Required Consents; and (ii) the applicable TRS Entity shall assume the Provider Agreements, Assumed Contracts and Assumed Residency Agreements, only to the extent such obligations and liabilities assumed by the TRS Entity under the Assumed Contracts and Assumed Residency Agreements relate to periods after the Effective Time, subject however to obtaining any Required Consents and any other applicable third party consents (collectively, the foregoing (i) and (ii) are the “Assumed Liabilities”).  Each applicable Real Estate Purchaser shall exercise its respective commercially reasonable efforts to assume or take title subject to and all Required Consents in connection therewith.

(i)     With respect to any revenues or reimbursement received by the Facilities from or as a result of Third Party Payor Programs, including, without limitation, Medicare and Medicaid programs, Purchaser, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall cause the TRS Entity to take an assignment of and assume Seller’s participation, provider and reimbursement agreements or arrangements (and provider numbers) in effect for the benefit of the operation of the Facilities relating to any right of payment or claim arising out of or in connection with the participation of the Facilities in any Third Party Payor Programs (“Provider Agreements”) and obtain all necessary consents or approvals (which at the 

36




Closing may be oral or written commitments to issue such consents or approvals) of such assignments, each of which shall be upon such terms and conditions acceptable to Purchaser in its sole discretion; provided, that, the TRS Entity will not assume any of Seller’s obligations in respect of Program Reimbursements arising with respect to periods occurring on or before the Effective Time.  Seller agrees that to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, it will transfer and assign the Provider Agreements along with all its rights thereunder to the TRS Entity, and further agrees to promptly provide such letters, consents, verifications, information and other documents, as necessary and required by Applicable Law or regulation, and any fiscal intermediary, the Nebraska Licensure Agency, any other third party or Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Facilities, Licenses, the Provider Agreements and the TRS Entity as may be reasonably requested or required to effectuate the transfer or assignment of the Provider Agreements. Seller acknowledges that, if permitted by Applicable Law, the TRS Entity may bill Medicaid and Medicare for services furnished after the Effective Time to Residents who qualify as Medicaid and Medicare beneficiaries from and after the Effective Time, utilizing the provider number issued to Seller under the assigned Provider Agreement, as applicable.  
(ii)    With respect to any revenues or reimbursement received by the Facilities from or as a result of Medicaid program, Purchaser shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, cause the TRS Entity to obtain a provider agreement and provider number for the benefit of the operation of the Facilities relating to any right of payment or claim arising out of or in connection with the participation of the Facilities in the Medicaid program (the “Medicaid Provider Agreement”), and obtain all necessary consents or approvals, which at the Closing may be oral (if confirmed in writing) or written commitments to issue such consents or approvals, with respect to such the issuance of such Medicaid Provider Agreement, including without limitation, (x) notifying the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services, Medicaid and Long-Term Care Provider Enrollment and any other applicable Nebraska Medicaid agency (individually and collectively, the “Nebraska Medicaid Agency”) of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and (y) entering into the Medicaid Provider Agreement with the Nebraska Medicaid Agency, each of which shall be in such forms as required by the Nebraska Medicaid Agency and upon such terms and conditions acceptable to Purchaser in its sole discretion.  Seller agrees to promptly provide such letters, consents, verifications, information and other documents, as necessary and required by Applicable Law or regulation, to the Nebraska Medicaid Agency, any other third party or Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Facilities, Licenses, the Medicaid Provider Agreement and the TRS Entity as may be reasonably requested or required for the TRS Entity to obtain the Medicaid Provider Agreement and for any and all obligations and liabilities arising out of or related to the participation of the Facilities in the Medicaid program prior to the Effective Time to be Excluded Liabilities, including without limitation, (x) notifying the Nebraska Medicaid Agency of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and (y) posting an indemnity bond or irrevocable standby letter of credit, each of which shall be in such forms as required by the Nebraska Medicaid Agency.
(c)    The Governmental Approvals under Section 5.5(a) and the actions (and all necessary consents or approvals) under Section 5.5(b) shall be referred to collectively as “Regulatory Consents”.
(d)    It shall be an express condition precedent to the obligation of each of parties hereto to consummate the transactions under this Agreement that the Regulatory Consents are obtained.  In the event that, on or before 5:00 pm on the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days following the Date of Execution (the “Outside Date”) the TRS Entity has not obtained the Regulatory Consents, then either Seller or Purchaser may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other parties and Escrow 

37

In the event that either Seller or Purchaser delivers a Regulatory Contingency Termination Notice pursuant to this Section 5.5, this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of the delivery of the Regulatory Contingency Termination Notice in accordance with Article XII below.
5.6    Further Documentation.  Purchaser agrees that following the Closing Date, upon request by Seller, Purchaser will do, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered, all such further acts, documents and assurances as may be reasonably required, without enlarging or extending any obligations or liability of Purchaser under this Agreement in any manner and without (except to the extent required by this Agreement) requiring the expenditure of any funds by Purchaser which are not reimbursed by Seller, to fully consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
5.7    Changes in Representations and Warranties.  Throughout the period from the Date of Execution through and including the Closing Date, Purchaser shall give Seller prompt written notice of (a) any representation and warranty made by Purchaser in this Agreement which Purchaser hereafter learns was inaccurate or incorrect when originally made and (b) any event, change or occurrence which will or reasonably may be anticipated to prevent Purchaser from making the same representations and warranties as set forth herein on and as of the Closing Date.
ARTICLE VI. 
OTHER COVENANTS
6.1    Residents Rents; Accounts Receivable; Move-In Deposits and Move-In Fees.  
(a)    Prior to the Closing, except as provided in this Section 6.1(a), Seller shall bill the Residents in the ordinary course of business for amounts due under Residency Agreements and the TRS Entity shall assume responsibility for the billing of such amounts on and after the Effective Time.  The parties acknowledge that private-pay Residents are billed monthly by Seller in advance on or about the last day of the preceding calendar month.  Seller shall bill private-pay Residents for the calendar month of the Closing, but not for the calendar month after the Closing.  The TRS Entity shall bill Residents for those private pay items that are billed in arrears (including, if applicable, for items such as haircuts, guest meals, therapy services and other similar items) attributable to the calendar month of the Closing; provided, however Seller shall bill residents and patients for such items if the Closing occurs on the last day of a calendar month.  Regardless of which party bills the Residents or Third Party Payor Programs, the portion of all resident/patient rents and service fees allocable to the time period before the Effective Time shall be allocated to Seller and the portion thereof allocable to the time period on and after the Effective Time shall be allocable to Purchaser and will be accounted for as part of the reconciliation process set forth in Section 10.5. 
(b)    Delinquent rents and service fees for the period on or before the Effective Time will remain the property of Seller.  Seller shall retain all rights in and title to all pre-closing accounts receivable except to the extent any portion relates in part to dates on and after the Effective Time.  With respect to the collection of delinquent rents and service fees for the period before the Closing Date, as to (i) former Residents who are not Residents on the Closing Date, Seller may conduct whatever collection actions it deems commercially necessary and reasonable to recover such past due amounts, and (ii) Residents who are Residents on the Closing Date, Seller may not conduct any collection activity except with respect to 

38




delinquent accounts which remain past due more than sixty (60) days following the Closing Date.  Seller shall notify Purchaser prior to engaging any third party to pursue collection activities and, upon Purchaser’s request, shall cooperate in good faith with Purchaser in pursuing such actions.  For the period from the Date of Execution until the Closing Date, Seller may continue its past practices, including eviction practices, with respect to the collection of delinquent rents and service fees of Residents. Anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement notwithstanding, Seller shall retain all collections relating to pre-Closing rents and services rendered. 
(c)    All rents and service fees received by either party after the Effective Time from any Resident which does not specify the service dates for which such payment relates will be applied in the following order of priority: (i) first, to amounts owed by that Resident for the calendar month of Closing prorated accordingly between the parties as applicable; (ii) second,  (A) to Seller for the delinquent amounts owed by that Resident attributable to periods before the Effective Time but only with respect to undesignated payments received during the period expiring sixty (60) days after the Closing Date and (B) after the sixtieth (60th) day following the Closing Date, to amounts owed by that Resident due and payable to Purchaser; and (iii) third, (A) to amounts owed by that Resident due and payable to Purchaser until the sixtieth (60th) day following the Closing Date and (B) after the sixtieth (60th) day following the Closing Date, to Seller for the delinquent amounts owed by that Resident attributable to the periods before the Effective Time.  All payments received by either Purchaser or Seller from Residents which specify a date of service for such Residents shall be credited to the party who rendered the services on the specified dates.  In addition, as soon as reasonably practicable but in no event more than thirty (30) days after its receipt thereof, Purchaser shall remit to Seller any payments under Third Party Payor Programs received by Purchaser that apply to a pre-Closing account of the Resident for whom the payment is made in accordance with the dates of service indicated on the remittance, together with a copy of the remittance advice. 
(d)    With respect to entrance fees, security deposits and move-in fees paid by any Resident of the Facilities at any time prior to the Effective Time, including, without limitation, Residents as of the Closing Date as well as prior Residents of the Facilities (such deposits and fees, collectively “Move-In Deposits”), Purchaser shall be entitled to a credit at the Closing for the portion of such Move-In Deposits that are refundable to any such Resident as of the Closing Date in accordance with the term of the applicable Residency Agreement.
(e)    If the Closing occurs at calendar month end, then Purchaser shall receive a credit at the Closing equal to 100% of the resident/patient fees billed and collected by Seller in advance for the calendar month after the Closing occurs, subject to the reconciliation process set forth in Section 10.5.
(f)    If the Closing occurs other than at calendar month end, Purchaser shall receive a credit at the Closing equal to the following, subject to the reconciliation process set forth in Section 10.5:
(i)    For the calendar month in which the Closing occurs, a credit equal to Purchaser’s pro rata share of the amount of the total fees billed and collected by Seller in advance for such calendar month; and
(ii)    For the calendar month after the Closing occurs, to the extent that Seller has billed and collected for that calendar month in advance under Section 6.1(a), a credit equal to 100% of the resident/patient fees so billed and collected.

39




(g)    Each party agrees that they will provide each other with any information reasonably required to enable either party to complete its billing to Residents and Third Party Payor Programs.
6.2    Medicaid and Medicare.  
(a)    Seller shall bill the applicable third party or Governmental Authority for all applicable Third Party Payor Program reimbursements for the calendar month prior to the Closing.  For the calendar month in which the Closing occurs, Seller shall bill the applicable third party or Governmental Authority for all periods prior to the Closing and the TRS Entity shall bill the applicable third party or Governmental Authority for all periods on or after the Effective Time.  
(b)    Seller is entitled to payments of receivables on account of items or services provided on dates of service before the Effective Time, even if such receivables are collected after the Closing, and the TRS Entity is entitled to payments of receivables on account of items or services provided on dates of service from and after the Effective Time.  The TRS Entity and Seller shall each deliver periodically (and in any event, no less frequently than monthly) to the other any such payments actually received by such party and due to the other party as contemplated hereby.
6.3    Transfer Matters.  If, prior to or within one (1) year following the Closing, any of the Governmental Authorities conducts a survey or inspection of any of the Facilities (a “Transfer Survey”), including any such Transfer Survey which is a standard survey, a complaint survey or a survey prompted by the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, then Seller agrees to be responsible for all citations and deficiencies attributable to (i) pre-Closing activities that violate any Applicable Law (and which violation did not first occur after the Closing Date) and (ii) pre-Closing conditions, and Seller shall correct or pay, or both, for such citations and deficiencies to the extent applicable.  Seller’s responsibility shall include correcting all non-compliances and citations, paying any and all fines, providing a plan of correction (prior to the Closing) and providing and bearing the expense for all consultants, staff, materials, supplies and equipment necessary to complete the plan of correction and achieve full compliance.  To the extent that such corrections cannot be completed prior to the Closing, Seller shall be required to place in escrow at the Closing an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the reasonable estimated cost of the corrections required.
6.4    Pre-Closing Access.  During the [two (2) week] period prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall permit the employees and representatives of the TRS Entity to be present at the Facilities at scheduled times to, as applicable and reasonably desired by the TRS Entity, commence installation of time clocks, computers, billing, accounting and security systems, and do such other things as may be reasonably necessary to effect an orderly transition of the Facilities.
6.5    Workers’ Compensation.  Seller shall be responsible for and pay any and all workers’ compensation and other similar claims asserted by or with respect to any Employees or former employees of Seller (or any of them) in respect of any injury or other compensable event or occupational illness or disease that occurred or is attributable to any event, state of facts or condition that existed or occurred prior to or on the Closing Date.  Purchaser is responsible for and shall pay any and all workers’ compensation and other similar claims asserted by or with respect to any Employees in respect of any injury or other compensable event or occupational illness or disease that occurred or is attributable to any event, state of facts or condition that first existed or occurred following the Closing Date. 

40




6.6    Seller’s Financial Books and Records.  Seller agrees to maintain all of Seller’s Financial Books and Records for the requisite period prescribed by Applicable Law, but in no event less than seven (7) years.  In addition, if and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Seller agrees to allow Purchaser, or its agents or representatives, upon reasonable advance notice and at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, to examine from time to time such Seller’s Financial Books and Records, to promptly cooperate with Purchaser, its agents or representatives in their examination or review of such Seller’s Financial Books and Records, and to permit Purchaser to obtain copies thereof, upon request.  
6.7    Approvals and Consents.  Prior to the Closing Date, and without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, Seller and Purchaser will take all corporate and other action and exercise their respective commercially reasonable efforts to fulfill their respective obligations hereunder.  In addition, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain in writing, at its cost and expense and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser as promptly as possible, all Required Consents (other than the Regulatory Consents which under Section 5.5 are the responsibility of the TRS Entity) and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with Seller’s efforts to obtain such consents. 
6.8    Discharged Resident Records.  For a period of seven (7) years after the Effective Time (or such longer period of time as may be required by Applicable Laws), Seller agrees to allow Purchaser, or its agents or representatives, in connection with a valid business purpose and upon reasonable advance notice and at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, to examine from time to time the Discharged Resident Records, to promptly cooperate with Purchaser, its agents or representatives in their examination or review of such Discharged Resident Records, and to permit Purchaser to obtain copies thereof, upon request.  
6.9    Management Agreement.  The Seller shall cause the EIK Manager to enter into a management agreement with the TRS Entity, as manager (the “Manager”), for the management of the Facilities and subject to finalizing the Form Management Agreement (defined below) pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.9. The management of each such facility by the Manager shall commence, and the management agreement for such facility shall be executed and become effective, not less than one (1) day prior to the Closing Date (the “Management Agreement Deadline”). The form of the management agreement shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule 6.9. 
ARTICLE VII.

7.3    Notification of Claims and Indemnification Procedures.   
(a)    A party entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 or any other provision of this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”) shall notify the party liable for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, which contains reasonable documentation or proof, of any third party claim which the Indemnified Party has reasonably determined gives rise or will likely give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement, as soon as possible after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such claim and has made such determination; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice to the Indemnifying Party in a timely fashion shall not result in the loss of the Indemnified Party’s rights with respect thereto except to the extent the Indemnified Party is prejudiced by the delay.  Subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to defend in good faith third party claims as hereinafter provided, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations under this Article VII within thirty (30) days after the receipt of written notice thereof from the Indemnified Party, it being agreed that the Indemnifying Party need not satisfy such obligations during any period in which the Indemnifying Party is defending in good faith the applicable third party claim in the manner described herein below:
(i)    If the Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party, with the documentation or proof, of any claim pursuant to Section 7.3 (a), and if such claim relates to a claim 

43




asserted by a third party against the Indemnified Party which the Indemnifying Party acknowledges is a claim for which it must indemnify or hold harmless the Indemnified Party under Section  7.1 or Section 7.2, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to either (i) pay such claim or (ii) employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to defend any such claim asserted against the Indemnified Party.  The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any such claim.  The Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party in writing, as promptly as possible (but in any case reasonably in advance of the due date for the answer or response to a claim) after the date of the notice of claim given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party under Section 7.3 (a) of its election to defend in good faith any such third party claim.  So long as the Indemnifying Party is defending in good faith any such claim asserted by a third party against the Indemnified Party and is able to demonstrate to the Indemnified Party its financial wherewithal to fully perform its indemnification obligation in the event such contested claim is resolved adversely to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise such claim.  The Indemnified Party shall make available to such counsel all records and other materials in the Indemnified Party’s possession reasonably required by it for its use in contesting any third party claim.  Whether or not the Indemnifying Party elects to defend any such claim, the Indemnified Party shall have no obligations to do so.
(ii)    The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in any matter through counsel of its own choosing at its own expense (unless the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that there is a conflict of interest that prevents counsel for the Indemnifying Party from representing the Indemnified Party, in which case the Indemnifying Party will have the right to choose and fund other counsel to represent the Indemnified Party or to reimburse the Indemnified Party for the expenses of its counsel).  After the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party of its intention to undertake to defend or settle any such third party claim, and for so long as the Indemnifying Party diligently pursues such defense and is able to demonstrate to the Indemnified Party its financial wherewithal to fully perform its indemnification obligation in the event such contested claim is resolved adversely to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any additional legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any defense or settlement of such third party claim, except to the extent such participation is requested by the Indemnifying Party, in which event the Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party for reasonable legal expenses and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such requested participation.
(iii)    An Indemnifying Party may not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any claim against an Indemnified Party or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim and does not contain any equitable order, judgment or term which in any manner affects, restrains or interferes with the business of the Indemnified Party or any of the Indemnified Party’s Affiliates.
(iv)    If any amounts payable by an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Party is not paid when due, such unpaid amount shall bear interest at an interest rate equal to a margin of 2% plus the “Prime Rate” as published by the Wall Street Journal (Eastern edition) under its Money Rates column and specified as the base rate on corporate loans at large U.S. commercial banks or, if it no longer publishes such, the rate of interest announced from time to time by Well Fargo Bank as its prime rate, base rate or reference rate. 

44




7.4    Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants.  The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive for a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, and shall thereafter cease to be of any force and effect, except for (a) claims as to which notice has been given prior to such date and which are pending on such date, (b) claims based upon representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.1, 2.2 or 2.8 or Seller’s indemnification obligations with respect to Program Reimbursements, which shall survive without limitation, and (c) claims based upon representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.5, 2.9 or 2.24, which shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (each, a “Claims Period”).  If any act, omission, disclosure or failure to disclose shall form the basis for a claim for breach of more than one representation or warranty, and such claims have different periods of survival hereunder, then the termination of the survival period of one claim shall not affect a party’s right to make a claim based on the breach of the representation or warranty still surviving.  All covenants of the parties contained in this Agreement which have a definitive term associated with such covenant shall survive the Closing Date for such term.  All other covenants of the parties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until fully performed.
  
7.5    Set-Off.  The Purchaser Indemnified Parties may set-off against unpaid amounts of the Indemnity Holdback, if any, any amounts otherwise payable by Seller or the Principals to any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for any Purchaser Indemnified Losses, all in accordance with the Indemnity Holdback Agreement.  The Indemnity Holdback and the right of set-off, however, shall not be exclusive of any other right or remedy any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties may have with respect to the Purchaser Indemnified Losses, whether under this Agreement, at law or in equity.  Seller and the Principals hereby agree that to the extent the Purchaser Indemnified Losses exceed the amount of the Indemnity Holdback then in existence, Seller and the Principals, jointly and severally, will be liable for all such Purchaser Indemnified Losses. 
7.6    Net Damages.   Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the amount of any Losses incurred or suffered by an Indemnified Party shall be calculated after giving effect to any proceeds or recoveries actually received by the Indemnified Party from any other third party, including any proceeds from insurance policies covering the event or claim giving rise to the indemnification obligation, net of the reasonable costs incurred by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in obtaining any such proceeds or recoveries.
7.7    Liability Limitations. 
(a)    The maximum aggregate liability of Seller to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties with respect to claims for Purchaser Indemnified Losses under Section 7.1(a)(ii) will be limited to an amount equal to six and six-tenths percent (6.6%) of the Purchase Price (the “Cap”); provided, however, the Cap shall not apply to any Purchaser Indemnified Losses incurred or suffered by any of them and arising out of or resulting from (i) any breach of any Exempt Representations and Warranties or (ii) claims based upon intentional behavior.
(b)    The maximum aggregate liability of the Purchaser to the Seller Indemnified Parties with respect to claims under Section 7.2 will be limited to the Cap; provided, however, the Cap shall not apply to any Seller Indemnified Losses incurred or suffered by any of them and arising out of or resulting from claims based upon intentional behavior.

45




(c)    Seller will not have any liability to any Purchaser Indemnified Parties under Section 7.1(a)(ii) until the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall have incurred on a cumulative basis Losses exceeding one percent (1%) of the Purchase Price (the “Basket”), at which point Seller shall be liable for all Losses incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties,  including the amount of the Basket; provided, however, the Basket shall not apply to any Losses incurred or suffered by any of them arising out of or resulting from (i) any breach of any Exempt Representations and Warranties or (ii) claims based upon intentional behavior.
(d)    Purchaser will not have any liability to the Seller Indemnified Parties under Section 7.1 until the Seller Indemnified Parties shall have incurred on a cumulative basis Losses exceeding the Basket, at which point Purchaser shall be liable for all Losses incurred by the Seller Indemnified Parties, including the amount of the Basket; provided, however, the Basket shall not apply to any Losses incurred or suffered by any of them arising out of or resulting from claims based upon intentional behavior.
(e)    The representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.5, 2.8, 2.9, 2.16, 2.20, 2.22 and 2.23 are hereinafter referred to as the “Exempt Representations and Warranties”.

If such amounts are not paid by Seller to Purchaser, or by Purchaser to Seller, as the case may be, within thirty (30) days after the post-closing re-proration, then the amount owed shall accrue interest thereafter at the rate of 1.5% per month; provided, however, that in no event will interest be charged in excess of the amount permitted by Applicable Law.

Any such prorated amounts will not be paid pursuant to the Closing Statement, but will instead be part of the post-closing reconciliation process described in Section 10.5.
(d)    Estimated Costs.  All payables, including accounts payable for Inventory, utilities, payroll, services, supplies and materials, which accrue prior to the Effective Time shall be Seller’s responsibility and shall be subject to the reconciliation process described in Section 10.5.

51




(e)    Closing Statement Accounting.  All calculations and prorations under this Section 10.3 shall be made on the accrual basis of accounting.

Each of Purchaser and Seller shall pay fifty percent (50%) of any escrow or similar closing charges of the Title Company

The Initial Reconciliation shall include appropriate detail to identify the items being adjusted.  A final reconciliation of all such expenses, costs, charges, service fees and rents shall be prepared by Purchaser and Seller within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date (the “Final Reconciliation”).  Throughout the period leading up to the Initial Reconciliation and the Final Reconciliation, each party shall provide to the other party any information it may receive regarding the revenue and expense items described in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 10.5 and all other allocated and prorated amounts identified in Section 10.3 above.  The Final Reconciliation shall appropriately reflect the net amount owed to Purchaser or to Seller as a result of such reconciliation, but without any proration or adjustment made as a result of Inventory, supplies, or other consumables on hand at the Closing (none of which shall be subject to proration or adjustment).  After approval of the Final Reconciliation by both parties, the party determined to owe cash as a result of such Final Reconciliation shall promptly pay such cash to the other party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing: (y) in the event that after the approval of the Final Reconciliation any the TRS Entity receives any amount from any Third Party Payor Program relating to the provision of services during any period prior to the Effective Time, Purchaser shall cause such TRS Entity to pay such amount to Seller as provided in Sections 6.1 and 6.2; and (z) in the event that after the approval of the Final Reconciliation, Seller receives any amount from any Third Party Payor Program relating to the provision of services during any period after the Effective Time, Seller shall pay such amount to Purchaser as provided in Sections 6.1 and 6.2.

ARTICLE XI. 
CONDEMNATION; DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
11.1    Condemnation.
(a)    In the event that any proceedings for the condemnation of the Real Property or any portion thereof are instituted by any Governmental Authority prior to Closing, then promptly upon obtaining knowledge of the institution of such proceedings, each party will notify the other party in writing (the “Condemnation Notice”) of the pendency of such proceedings.  As used in this Section 11.1:  (i) the terms “condemnation”, or “condemn” or “taking” means the exercise of, or intent to exercise, the power of eminent domain, expressed in writing, as well as the filing of any proceeding for such purpose, by a Condemning Authority, and shall include a voluntary sale by Seller to any such Condemning Authority, either under the threat of condemnation or while such proceedings are pending; and (ii) the term “Condemning Authority” means a Governmental Authority with the right or power of eminent domain.  A condemnation shall be deemed to occur in point of time upon the actual physical taking of possession pursuant to the exercise of said power of eminent domain.  For avoidance of doubt, a condemnation proceeding shall be deemed to commence upon receipt of written notice of the intent to condemn.  
(b)    If proceedings for condemnation are instituted by any Condemning Authority with respect to any Real Property or any portion thereof prior to Closing (a “Condemned Property”), then at the election of Purchaser, which election shall be set forth in a written notice from Purchaser to Seller (the “Condemnation Election Notice”), either: (i) this Agreement shall terminate pursuant to this Section 11 upon delivery of the Condemnation Election Notice to Purchaser; (ii) the Condemned Property and all other Assets and Assumed Liabilities that are related to such Condemned Property (collectively, the “Condemned Property Elements”) shall be excluded from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1(c) and the Closing shall proceed with respect to the balance of the Assets and Assumed Liabilities; or (iii) this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, Purchaser shall not be entitled to an abatement of the Purchase Price by reason of such condemnation, and the proceeds of any award or payment in respect of such condemnation shall be paid over to, or assigned to, Purchaser, as applicable, at the Closing.  The Condemnation Election Notice shall be delivered by Purchaser to Seller within twenty (20) Business Days following the receipt by Purchaser of the Condemnation Notice.  If Purchaser fails to deliver the Condemnation Election Notice within that twenty (20) Business Day period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement in its entirety.  Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.1(b) shall be in accordance with Article XII below. Condemned Property shall also include any Facility to the extent any change of grade or closing of any such street or highway abutting or adjacent to such Facility would materially impair access to and from such Facility or otherwise materially interfere with its occupancy and use as a senior housing facility.
(c)    In the event that Purchaser makes the election under Section 11.1(b) (ii): (i) all of the respective covenants, obligations, representations and warranties of each of the parties in this Agreement with respect to the Condemned Property Elements shall be void ab initio and of no force or effect; (ii) the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the aggregate fair market values of the Condemned Property Elements; (iii) Seller and Purchaser shall mutually execute a written amendment to this Agreement, to be prepared by Purchaser and subject to the approval of Seller, in its sole and absolute discretion, to confirm and evidence the reduction in the Purchase Price and the application of the 

53




provisions of this Section 11.1(c) with respect to the Condemned Property Elements; and (iv) all proceeds from such condemnation shall belong to the applicable Seller.
11.2    Damage or Destruction. 
(a)    Subject to the provisions of Section 11.2(b):  (x) all risk or loss concerning the Assets that occurs on or prior to the Closing shall be borne by Seller; and (y) all risk of loss concerning the Assets that occurs after the Closing shall be borne by Purchaser.
(b)    In the event that, on or prior to the Closing Date, the Assets are damaged in whole or in part by fire or other casualty, the following procedures shall apply:
(i)    Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing of the damage within two (2) Business Days following Seller becoming aware of such damage (the “Asset Damage Notice”).
(ii)    If the estimated costs of repairing damage to any Real Property (the “Damaged Property”) and any Assets located on the Damaged Property (collectively, the “Damaged Property Components”) is less than Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) (the “Damage Threshold Amount”), which estimated repair costs (the “Estimated Repair Costs”) shall be determined in accordance with Section 11.2(b)(iii), then the provisions of Section 11.2(c) of this Agreement shall exclusively apply.  In the event that the Estimated Repair Costs to repair damage to the Damaged Property Components for any Damaged Property is equal to or greater than the Damage Threshold Amount, then the provisions of Section 11.2(d) of this Agreement shall exclusively apply.
(iii)    Within thirty (30) calendar days following the delivery of the Asset Damage Notice, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a written notice (the “Damage Estimate Notice”) that sets forth Seller’s reasonable estimate of Estimated Repair Costs to repair the damage to the Damage Property Components for the Damaged Property.  In the event that Purchaser reasonably challenges Seller’s estimate of the Estimated Repair Costs in the Damage Estimate Notice, then Purchaser must deliver a written notice to Seller (the “Estimate Dispute Notice”) within thirty (30) days following Purchaser’s receipt of the Damage Estimate Notice that sets forth Purchaser’s estimate of the Estimated Repair Costs.  If Purchaser fails to deliver the Estimated Dispute Notice to Seller within such thirty (30) day period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its right to challenge Seller’s estimate of the Estimated Repair Costs in the Damage Estimate Notice and Seller’s estimate shall be binding on the Parties.  In the event that Purchaser delivers an Estimate Dispute Notice to Seller, then Seller shall deliver a written notice to Purchaser (the “Estimate Response Notice”), within three (3) Business Days following the delivery of the Estimate Dispute Notice, electing to either: (i) utilize Purchaser’s estimate of Estimated Repair Costs in the Estimate Dispute Notice, in which case Purchaser’s estimate shall be final and binding on the parties, or (ii) have the Estimated Repair Costs determined by a contractor licensed in the State of Nebraska reasonably acceptable to both Purchaser and Seller (the “Estimating Contractor”).  Failure by Seller to deliver the Estimate Response Notice to Purchaser prior to the expiration of such three (3) Business Day period (the “Estimate Election Deadline”) shall be deemed to be Seller’s election to have the Estimated Repair Costs determined by an Estimating Contractor.  In the event that Seller elects or is deemed to have elected to have the Estimated Repair Costs determined by an Estimating Contractor, the parties shall mutually attempt to agree on an Estimating Contractor within five (5) Business Days following the Estimating Election Deadline.  If the parties are unable to mutually agree on an Estimating Contractor, then prior to the expiration of the five (5) Business Day period, Seller and Purchaser shall each designate 

54




in writing to the other party a contractor licensed in the State of Nebraska and those two designated contractors shall select the Estimating Contractor. The determination by the Estimating Contractor of the amount of the Estimated Repair Costs shall be final and binding on the parties.
(c)    In the event that the Estimated Repair Costs to the Damaged Property Components for any Damaged Property, as determined pursuant to Section 11.2(b)(iii), is less than the Damage Threshold Amount, then Seller shall deliver a written notice to Purchaser (the “Minor Damage Election Notice”) in which Seller elects either to: (i) have Seller that owns the Damaged Property repair the damage to the Damaged Property Components prior to Closing (which shall be extended for a reasonable period of time to permit performance of such repairs) at no cost or expense to Purchaser; or (b) not repair such damage prior to Closing, in which case Purchaser shall be entitled to a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of the Estimated Repair Costs.  If Seller fails to deliver the Minor Damage Election Notice to Purchaser within five (5) Business Days following the determination of Estimated Repair Costs pursuant to Section 11.2(b)(iii), Seller shall be deemed to have elected to have the applicable Seller repair the Damaged Property Components.
(d)    In the event that the Estimated Repair Costs to the Damaged Property Components for any Damaged Property, as determined pursuant to Section 11.2(b)(iii), is equal to or greater than the Damage Threshold Amount, at the election of Purchaser, which election shall be set forth in a written notice from Purchaser to Seller (the “Major Damage Election Notice”), this Agreement may be terminated pursuant to this Section upon delivery of the Major Damage Election Notice to Seller.  The Major Damage Election Notice shall be delivered by Purchaser to Seller within five (5) Business Days following the final determination of the Estimated Repair Amount pursuant to Section 11.2(b)(iii).  If Purchaser fails to deliver the Major Damage Election Notice within that five (5) Business Day period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement.  If Purchaser elects to proceed with the Closing of the transactions contemplated under and pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, Seller shall (i) assign to Purchaser the right to collect any and all insurance proceeds in respect of such Damaged Property after the Closing, and (ii) provide Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount of equal to (a) any applicable deductible and (b) any insurance proceeds received as of the Closing Date.  Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.2 shall be in accordance with Article XII below.

55

(h)    By Seller, in the event of a material breach of this Agreement by Purchaser which breach is not cured after the notice and cure period provided for in Section 12.2 (a “Purchaser Breach Termination”). 
12.2    Opportunity to Cure.  No party to this Agreement may claim termination pursuant to Section 12.1(g) or (h) or pursue any other remedy referred to in this Section 12 on account of such breach by the other party, without first giving the other party written notice of such breach and not less than thirty (30) days within which to cure such or breach. The Closing Date shall be postponed if necessary to afford such opportunity to cure.  Seller may not claim termination pursuant to Section 12.1(d) or pursue any other remedy referred to in this Section 12 on account of Purchaser’s failure to deliver the Deposit to Escrow Agent, without first giving Purchaser written notice of such breach and not less than  three (3) Business Days within which to cure such failure.   
12.3    Effect of Termination; Remedies. 
(a)    In the event of a termination of this Agreement by Purchaser or Seller under this Section 12, (i) written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other parties and the Escrow Agent; (ii) this Agreement shall forthwith become void and of no further force or effect, other than with respect to Sections 2.28, 3.4, 4.9, 5.1, 10.4, 12.3 and Article XIII of this Agreement which shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto, and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of any party hereto, except for breaches of the surviving provisions of this Agreement set forth immediately above; (iii) Purchaser shall have no right, option, title or interest to purchase the Assets, or any portion thereof; (iv) the Escrow Agreement shall be terminated; (v) if the event of termination is a Refundable Event, Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit to Purchaser, together with any interest earned thereon, if any, as set forth in this Agreement; (vi) if the event of termination is not a Refundable Event, Escrow Agent shall pay the Deposit to Seller, together with any interest earned thereon; and (vii) Purchaser shall withdraw its regulatory filings related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or made for the operation of the Facilities and the Business after the Closing.  The parties will promptly execute any documents and instructions reasonably requested by the other party or Escrow Agent relating to the termination of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement or the delivery of the Deposit pursuant to this Agreement.  “Refundable Events” are expressly limited to the following events: (a) a Consent Termination, (b) a Seller Breach Termination; (c) a Regulatory Contingency Termination; (d) a Purchaser Condition Termination; (e) a Seller Condition Termination, or (f) a Casualty / Condemnation Termination.  If this Agreement is terminated for any of the above reasons, then a Refundable Event shall have occurred and the Deposit shall be promptly refunded to Purchaser.

56




(b)    If a Seller Breach Termination occurs, Purchaser shall be entitled to a return of the Deposit and to receive a sum equal to Purchaser’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, from Seller, jointly and severally, as liquidated damages, which reimbursement of costs and expenses shall not exceed the sum of One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00).  If, after a default by any Seller that is not cured within the applicable cure period, Purchaser has not terminated this Agreement, Purchaser may (i) seek and shall be entitled to specific performance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement, (ii) pursue a claim for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees and expenses, in pursuing such claim and, if Purchaser so elects, Purchaser may concurrently with (that is, in the same complaint but not in a separate action) and in the alternative to such claim for specific performance and related costs and expenses, pursue a claim for liquidated damages as set forth in this Section 12.3(b), and (iii) pursue any other rights or remedies Purchaser may have, whether under this Agreement or otherwise, at law or in equity.  Upon the receipt of liquidated damages as set forth in this Section 12.3(b), no party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except as provided in Section 12.3(a).  If the Closing does not occur, the remedies provided for in this Section shall be the exclusive remedy of Purchaser for a breach of this Agreement by Seller.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitation of remedies provided for in this Section shall not apply to (i) any indemnity obligations of Seller under this Agreement, and (ii) any reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and interest awarded to Purchaser in any proceeding between Seller and Purchaser pursuant to or arising from this Agreement in which Purchaser is the prevailing party.
(c)    If a Purchaser Breach Termination occurs, Seller shall be entitled to receive the Deposit as liquidated damages and no party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in Section 12.3(a).  If Closing does not occur, the remedies provided for in this Section shall be the exclusive remedy of Seller for a breach of this Agreement by Purchaser.  
12.4    DAMAGES.  THE PARTIES AGREE THAT SELLER WILL SUFFER DAMAGES IN THE EVENT OF THE BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT BY  PURCHASER.  SUCH DAMAGES WILL, HOWEVER, BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: (1) THE DAMAGES TO WHICH SELLER WOULD BE ENTITLED IN A COURT OF LAW MAY BE BASED IN PART ON THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ACTUAL VALUE OF THE ASSETS AND THE ASSUMED LIABILITIES AS OF THE CLOSING DATE AND THE PURCHASE PRICE FOR THE ASSETS AND THE ASSUMED LIABILITIES AS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT; (2) PROOF OF THE AMOUNT OF SUCH DAMAGES MAY BE BASED ON OPINIONS OF VALUE OF THE ASSETS AND THE ASSUMED LIABILITIES, WHICH CAN VARY IN SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS; AND (3) IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PREDICT AS OF THE DATE OF EXECUTION WHETHER THE VALUE OF THE ASSETS AND THE ASSUMED LIABILITIES WILL INCREASE OR DECREASE AS OF THE CLOSING DATE. PURCHASER AND SELLER DESIRE TO LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES FOR WHICH PURCHASER MIGHT BE LIABLE SHOULD PURCHASER FAIL TO CONSUMMATE THE ACQUISITION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.  PURCHASER AND SELLER WISH TO AVOID THE COSTS AND LENGTHY DELAYS WHICH WOULD RESULT IF SELLER FILED A LAWSUIT TO COLLECT ITS DAMAGES FOR SUCH A BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT.  THEREFORE, IF THE CLOSING DOES NOT OCCUR ON THE REQUIRED CLOSING DATE DUE TO A BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT BY PURCHASER, THEN THE SUM EQUAL TO THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES SPECIFIED IN  SECTION 12.3(c) SHALL BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES.

The Schedules and Exhibits are arranged in sections and subsections corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections and subsections of the Agreement to which such Schedule and Exhibit relates.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, in the event any party to this Agreement commences any litigation, proceeding or other legal action in connection with or relating to this Agreement, any Seller Related Document or Purchaser Related Document or any matters described or contemplated herein or therein, the parties to this Agreement hereby (a) agree under all circumstances absolutely and irrevocably to institute any litigation, proceeding or other legal action in a court of competent jurisdiction located within the City of Omaha, Nebraska, whether a state or federal court; (b) agree that in the event of any such litigation, proceeding or action, such parties will consent and submit to personal jurisdiction in any such court described in clause (a) and to service of process upon them in accordance with the rules and statutes governing service of process (it being understood that nothing in this Section 13.19 shall be deemed to prevent any party from seeking to remove any action to a federal court in Omaha, Nebraska); and (c) agree to waive to the fullest extent permitted by law any objection that they may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such litigation, proceeding or action in any such court or that any such litigation, proceeding or action was brought in an inconvenient forum.
