The Closing shall be consummated by the Parties’ delivery of the instruments and documents described in Sections 14.1 and 14.2 to the Escrow Agent who is to hold such instruments and documents in escrow (the “Escrow”) and deliver them to the Parties as provided in Section 14.3.  The Closing shall occur (A) on the later of (i) thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Study Period, (ii) thirty (30) days after Seller has provided to Buyer the final Employee Data File and (iii) thirty (30) days after Buyer has conducted its on-site “onboarding” meeting with employees, or (B) such earlier date as is requested by Buyer; provided, however, that if the Closing is scheduled to occur on a day other than the last business day of a calendar month, the Closing Date shall be the last business day of such calendar month.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Closing shall be subject to the following Buyer extension rights: (X) so long as Buyer is using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Financing, Buyer shall have the right to extend the Closing Date for a period of up to an additional sixty (60) days to provide Buyer additional time to obtain the Financing (or such shorter period of time that is actually required for Buyer to obtain the Financing) and (Y) so long as Buyer is using commercially reasonable efforts to procure the Licensure Approvals, Buyer shall have the right to extend the “Closing Date” (as hereinafter defined) until the date five (5) business days after the date that Buyer has procured all such Licensure Approvals (the Closing Date again to occur on the last business day of a calendar month as provided in the immediately prior sentence).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the date that is sixty (60) days after the scheduled Closing Date (the “Outside Closing Date”), the Licensure Approval Condition has not been satisfied, Buyer shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement for a failure of such Closing Condition, in which event the Deposit shall be returned forthwith to Buyer.  The date on which the Closing occurs as provided in this Agreement as described herein is called the “Closing Date.”  For all purposes under this Agreement, the Closing shall be deemed to have occurred at 12:00:01 a.m. local time (i.e., in the time zone where the Property is located) on the Closing Date.
6.          PURCHASE PRICE; ALLOCATION; RECORDATION COSTS; PRORATIONS
6.1    Purchase Price.  Provided Buyer has completed the Study Period to its sole satisfaction and has not terminated this Agreement under Section 12 and all other conditions under Section 13 hereunder have otherwise been met, and subject to any Proration as set forth herein, Buyer shall pay Five Million Eight Hundred Fifty Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars


	
			
	 
	13
	 









($5,857,500.00) to Seller as the purchase price for the Assets (the “Purchase Price”). Buyer shall deposit into Escrow, Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) (together with any other increases in the Deposit as provided herein, the “Deposit”) within three (3) Business Days of execution of this Agreement by all Parties, and, unless this Agreement is sooner terminated, Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00) within two (2) Business Days after the expiration of the Study Period, in an interest-bearing account with the Escrow Agent.  The Deposit is not “earnest money” within the meaning of Louisiana law, but is to be held and disposed of in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Deposit shall be held by Escrow Agent in a non-commingled, FDIC-insured account in accordance with the escrow provisions set forth on Schedule 6.1(a) attached hereto. Interest on such account shall be credited to Buyer’s account and deemed to be part of the Deposit.  In the event of the consummation of the purchase and sale of the Property as contemplated hereunder, the Deposit shall be paid to Seller and credited against the Purchase Price on the Closing Date.  In the event the sale of the Assets is not consummated because of (a) a Seller default, (b) the termination of this Agreement by Buyer in accordance with any right to so terminate provided herein, or (c) the failure of any of Buyer’s Closing Conditions to occur, then the Deposit shall be immediately and automatically paid over to Buyer without the need for any further action by either Party hereto.  The sole remedy for a failure by Buyer to deliver any or all of the Deposit as and when required hereunder shall be for Seller to terminate this Agreement.  Any Deposit shall be held and disbursed strictly in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  All references in this Agreement to a “return of the Deposit” shall also be deemed to include a return of the “Deposit” under the Rosewood Agreement.
Except for the One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) to be paid to Seller as provided in the next sentence, the Deposit shall be fully refundable to Buyer should Buyer terminate this Agreement at any point during the Study Period. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Deposit is refunded to Buyer for any reason other than Seller’s default under this Agreement, One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) of the Deposit shall be paid to Seller as an option fee and as consideration for the rights granted to Buyer under this Agreement. If the Closing does occur, the Deposit shall be applied towards the Purchase Price.  At the Closing, Buyer shall pay to Seller, in cash, the Purchase Price, less; (i) the sum of the Deposit, (ii) plus or minus the prorations as calculated under Section 6.3, and (iii) Four Percent (4%) of the Purchase Price to be held by the Escrow Agent (the “Holdback Amount”) pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Holdback Escrow Agreement (“The Holdback Escrow Agreement”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E to be entered into by Buyer, Seller and Escrow Agent (the Purchase Price less the Deposit, the Prorations and the Holdback Amount being the “Cash Balance”), by wired funds received by the Escrow Agent at or before the close of business on the Closing Date in accordance with written wiring instructions provided to Buyer by the Escrow Agent.  
6.2    Recordation and Closing Costs.

Buyer shall pay any sales and use tax (if any) up to a maximum amount of $10,000 (the “Buyer Portion”), the cost of recording fees of the Act of Sale, the title insurance premium, survey costs, appraisals and one-hundred percent (100%) of any escrow fees to hold the Deposit. Buyer shall pay the

Buyer shall be responsible for any and all taxes, title and license fees necessary to transfer title to the vehicles purchased from Seller to Buyer and more specifically described on Schedule 3.1(c).  
6.3    Prorations. The following prorations shall be made at the Closing between Seller and Buyer through escrow, computed as of the Closing Date. To the extent required to give effect to the Prorations and provisions set forth herein, this Section 6.3 shall survive the Closing.
(a)    Taxes. The Parties acknowledge and agree real estate taxes and personal property taxes are paid with respect to a calendar year. Seller shall pay, on or prior to Closing, any and all delinquent real estate and personal property taxes and assessments with respect to the Property.  General real estate taxes and personal property taxes applicable to the year in which the Closing occurs, or to any prior year, and which are due or accrue during the year in which the Closing occurs and constitute a lien on the Property or which become a lien on the Property during the year in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated with respect to the Property as of the date of the Closing; provided, however, that Seller shall pay on or before Closing the full amount of any bonds or assessments against the Property, if any, including interest payable therewith, and including any bonds or assessments that may be payable after the Closing Date that are a result of or relate to the construction or operation of any Improvements or any public improvements that serve only the Property.  If after the Closing there is any retroactive increase in the real or personal property taxes or assessments imposed on the Property:  (i) if such increase relates to the tax year in which the Closing occurred, then such increase shall be prorated by Seller and Buyer on a per diem basis based on their respective periods of ownership during the period to which such increase applies, (ii) if such increase relates to any tax year subsequent to the tax year which the Closing occurred, then such increase shall be the obligation of Buyer, and (iii) if such increase relates to any tax year prior to the tax year in which the Closing occurred, then such increase shall be the obligation of Seller. Taxes and assessments for the year of the Closing, due and payable in the year following the Closing, shall be prorated on a calendar year basis as of the Closing Date; if such amount cannot be then ascertained, proration shall be based upon the amount of the taxes for the preceding year. In the event that, after the Closing Date, any of such taxes, charges or assessments shall be increased or reduced, there shall be an adjustment and any deficiency or overpayment paid immediately upon notice to the other party.
(b)    Utilities. Gas, water, electricity, heat, fuel, sewer and other utilities expenses that cannot be canceled at Closing shall be prorated as of the date immediately preceding the Closing Date on the basis of the most recent meter reading occurring prior to Closing (dated not more than fifteen (15) days prior to the Closing Date). If the Parties are unable to obtain current meter readings as of the Closing Date, such expenses shall be estimated as of the Closing Date on the basis of the prior operating history of the Property, and the Parties mutually agree to cooperate in transferring all utility accounts, if permissible, to Buyer’s or its manager’s name as of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and to the extent that water and/or sewer charges are a lien against the Property, such charges shall be prorated as of 


	
			
	 
	15
	 









the Closing Date. Buyer shall open up new accounts in its name or its manager’s name for utility contracts and make new deposits or provide letters of credit, as required.
(c)    Insurance Premiums. All insurance policies relating to the Property or the Business currently maintained by Seller shall be terminated on the Closing Date and Buyer shall thereafter maintain its own policies on the Property and the Business. If and to the extent Seller is entitled to any refund on the premiums paid by Seller, such refunds shall be paid to and remain the property of Seller. 
(d)    Operating Expenses.  All operating expenses (including all charges under the Assumed Service Contracts and agreements assumed by Buyer) shall be prorated, and as to each service provider, operating expenses payable or paid to such service provider in respect to the billing period of such service provider in which the Closing occurs (the “Current Billing Period”), shall be prorated on a per diem basis based upon the number of days in the Current Billing Period prior to the Close Date and the number of days in the Current Billing Period from and after the Closing Date, and assuming that all charges are incurred uniformly during the Current Billing Period.  If actual bills for the Current Billing Period are unavailable as of the Closing Date, then such proration shall be made on an estimated basis based upon the most recently issued bills, subject to readjustment upon receipt of actual bills.  In the event Seller has prepaid amounts under Assumed Service Contracts, such amounts shall be prorated at Closing.
(e)    Rents.  Buyer will receive a credit at Closing for all rents and other revenue generated from the ownership and operation of the Property collected by Seller prior to the Closing Date and allocable to the period from and after the Closing Date based upon the actual number of days in the month.  No credit shall be given to Seller for accrued and unpaid rent or any other non-current sums due from Residents or Tenants until these sums are paid, and Seller shall, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, retain for thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, the right to receive any such rent collected by Buyer for the benefit of Seller; provided Seller has no right to directly collect, contact or sue to evict any tenants or terminate any Leases.  Buyer shall cooperate with Seller after the Closing Date to collect any rent under the Leases which has accrued as of the Closing Date; provided, however, Buyer shall not be obligated to sue any Residents or Tenants or exercise any legal remedies under the Leases or to incur any expense over and above its own regular collection expenses.  All payments collected from Residents and Tenants after the Closing Date shall first be applied to the month in which the Closing occurs, then to any rent due to Buyer for the period after the Closing Date through the month in which such payment was made, and finally to any rent due to Seller for the period prior to Closing Date.
(f)    Employee Costs.  Seller shall fund the cost of benefits to those Facility Employees to whom Buyer offers employment in accordance with this Agreement and who accept such offer of employment (“Hired Employees”) for the entire calendar month in which the Closing occurs (collectively, the “Hired Employee Closing-Month Insurance Benefits”), and the aggregate cost of such Hired Employee Closing-Month Insurance Benefits shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller based on the day of such month that the Closing occurs.  Further, except for “Accrued Employee Benefits” (as hereinafter defined), for which Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing, there shall be no other adjustment for wages, vacation pay, pension and welfare benefits and other fringe benefits of all persons employed by Seller at the Facility; it

being the intent of the parties that Buyer shall have no liability or obligation with respect to any employee of Seller prior to Closing.
6.4    Calculation; Reproration.  Escrow Agent shall prepare and deliver to Buyer no later than three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date an estimated closing statement which shall set forth all costs payable, and the prorations and credits provided for in this Agreement.  Any item which cannot be finally prorated because of the unavailability of information shall be tentatively prorated on the basis of the best data then available and adjusted when the information is available in accordance with this subsection.  The Parties shall attempt in good faith to reconcile any differences or disputes regarding such estimated closing statement no later than one (1) business day before the Closing Date.  The estimated closing statement as adjusted as aforesaid and approved in writing by the Parties (which shall not be withheld if prepared in accordance with this Agreement) shall be referred to herein as the “Closing Statement”.  If the prorations and credits made under the Closing Statement shall prove to be incorrect or incomplete for any reason, then either Party shall be entitled to an adjustment to correct the same; provided, however, that any adjustment shall be made, if at all, one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, and if a Party fails to request an adjustment to the Closing Statement by a written notice delivered to the other Party within the applicable period set forth above (such notice to specify in reasonable detail the items within the Closing Statement that such Party desires to adjust and the reasons for such adjustment), then the prorations and credits set forth in the Closing Statement shall be binding and conclusive against such Party.  Any amounts due under Section 6 which cannot be determined prior to Closing shall be reconciled as soon as possible thereafter as such amounts can be determined, and the Parties shall have the right to audit the applicable records of each other in connection with any such post-Closing reconciliation.  
6.5    Items Not Prorated.  Seller and Buyer agree that (a) on the Closing Date, the Title Company shall have received, or shall have made satisfactory arrangements to receive post-funding, a duly executed release of lien to be recorded in the real property of the parish where the Property is located, with respect to each mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Property; (b) none of the insurance policies relating to the Property will be assigned to Buyer and Buyer shall be responsible for arranging for its own insurance as of the Closing Date; and (c) utilities, including telephone, electricity, water and gas, shall be read not more than fifteen (15) days prior to the Closing Date and Buyer shall be responsible for all the necessary actions needed to arrange for utilities to be transferred to the name of Buyer on the Closing Date, including the posting of any required deposits and Seller shall be entitled to recover and retain from the providers of such utilities any refunds or overpayments to the extent applicable to the period prior to the Closing Date, and any utility deposits which it or its predecessors may have posted.  Accordingly, there will be no prorations for debt service, insurance or utilities.  In the event a meter reading is unavailable for any particular utility, such utility shall be prorated in the manner provided in Section 6.3(b) above.
6.6    Indemnification.  Buyer and Seller shall each indemnify, protect, defend and hold the other harmless from and against any claim in any way arising from the matters for which the other receives a credit or otherwise assumes responsibility pursuant to this Section 6.

The failure of Buyer to approve any lien or other matter reflected in the Title Report or Survey with respect to the Property within the required time shall be deemed disapproval by 


	
			
	 
	18
	 









Buyer thereof and the same shall be deemed an objection.  Within five (5) business days after receipt of the Title Defect Notice, Seller will notify Buyer which of the Title Defects, if any, that Seller agrees to cure at or before Closing. If Seller fails to give such notice within such five (5) business day period, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to satisfy the Title Defects. At or before Closing, Seller covenants and agrees to satisfy any and all Title Defects which Seller agreed to satisfy as set forth above. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at or before Closing, Seller covenants and agrees (i) to pay in full all ad valorem taxes and assessments of any kind constituting a lien against the Property, (ii) to cause to be released any mortgages, deeds of trust, or deeds to secure debt which encumber the Property, and (iii) to cause to be cancelled and discharged (1) any mechanics’, contractors’ or similar liens which encumber the Property as of the date of Closing (except for any such liens which arise by, through or under Buyer, its contractors or consultants, which Seller shall have no obligation to remove), (2) any judgment liens which encumber the Property or (3) any other monetary encumbrances, assessments and/or indebtedness (the matters referenced in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) are collectively referred to herein as “Monetary Liens”), regardless of whether Buyer objects to such Monetary Liens. In the event that Seller fails to cure any such Monetary Lien at Closing, Buyer shall be entitled, but in no event obligated, to pay such amount to the holder thereof as may be required to pay and cancel same, and to credit against the Purchase Price the amount so paid.  In no event shall a Monetary Lien constitute a Permitted Encumbrance hereunder. In the event Seller does not elect (or is deemed not to have elected) to satisfy or cure any Title Defect of which it is notified, or in any event, Seller fails to cure or remove any Title Defect which Seller agrees or is required to cure, then within ten (10) days after receipt of notice of Seller’s election (or ten (10) days after the expiration of Seller’s five (5) day notification period if Seller does not issue notice of election), Buyer shall, by written notice to Seller, elect either (a) to close the transaction contemplated hereby without any deduction in the Purchase Price (but without prejudice to Buyer’s right, in its sole discretion, to elect to cure outstanding Monetary Liens at Closing, as set forth herein) or (b) to terminate this Agreement without further liability whatsoever, whereupon Escrow Agent shall refund the balance of the Deposit to Buyer, this Agreement shall terminate and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder (except for such rights and obligations which expressly survive the termination hereof). Buyer’s failure to elect either such option in writing at or prior to expiration of the applicable ten (10) day period shall be deemed to be an election to take the action described in the foregoing clause (b).  If Buyer elects to take the action described in clause (a) of the previous sentence, then any Title Defect which Seller does not agree to cure at or before Closing shall be a Permitted Encumbrance, and any Title Defect which Seller does agree to cure shall not be a Permitted Encumbrance. Buyer shall have the right to re-examine title to the Property through the date of Closing. If at any time prior to the Closing Date, Buyer receives a new, updated or supplemental Title Report or Survey and such new, updated or supplemental Title Report or Survey discloses one or more Title Defects that are not Permitted Exceptions (in each case, a “New Title Defect”) and any New Title Defect is unacceptable to Buyer, Buyer may, within five (5) business days after receiving such new, updated or supplemental Title Report or Survey, as the case may be, deliver to Seller another written notice of Buyer’s objections with respect to any New Title Defect only and the process described in this Section shall apply thereto.  If any of the time periods set forth in this section extend beyond the expiration of the Study Period, Buyer shall nevertheless be afforded any rights (including termination of this Agreement and return of the Deposit) on the terms set forth in this Section.

(b)    Title. Seller shall transfer good and marketable title to the Property to Buyer, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances, which title shall be insurable by the Title Insurer at standard rates. Seller shall discharge any mortgage liens, monetary liens, judgment liens or any other lien or encumbrance against the Property at or prior to Closing, except for Permitted Encumbrances. 
(c)    Personal Property. At the Closing, Seller shall sell, assign, convey, transfer, and set over to Buyer (or Operator, at Buyer’s election) good and marketable title to all of the Assets other than the Property (subject to any leases thereof as herein disclosed to Buyer), including the Personal Property and the Intangible Property, by a bill of sale in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Bill of Sale”). All Personal Property and Intangible Property shall be transferred to Buyer, Operator, or as otherwise elected by Buyer, at Buyer’s option, free and clear of liens, claims, or encumbrances of any kind or nature, without payment of any consideration beyond the Purchase Price set forth in this Agreement.
(d)    Seller hereby agrees to defend and indemnify and hold Buyer, its successors and assigns, Operator, and their Affiliates, harmless against any liability incurred because of any non-payment of any Tax which may be imposed upon the sale of any Personal Property, but specifically excluding any sales and/or use tax on any vehicles purchased by Buyer from Seller. The parties’ rights and obligations under this Section 7.2(d) shall survive the Closing. All assets which Seller leases and uses in the conduct of the operations of the Business are set forth on Schedule 7.2(d) (the “Leased Assets”), and Seller shall assign any leases of Leased Assets to Buyer at the Closing solely if requested by Buyer.  
(e)    Contracts and Leases. At the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall execute and deliver an Assignment of Contracts and Leases substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Assignment of Contracts and Leases”), by which Seller shall assign to Buyer all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Assumed Service Contracts and the Leases.

8.1    Licensure Approvals. Seller has advised Buyer that Seller currently has and maintains all applicable Required Permits and Licenses as are necessary to operate the Business at the Facility in accordance with all applicable Laws. All Required Permits and Licenses are set forth on Schedule 8.1. To the extent that the transfer of the Assets as contemplated by this Agreement requires that Buyer or Operator or any manager engaged by either of them, as the case may be (the “Prospective Licensee”) obtain certain Approvals and licenses of Governmental Authorities necessary to own, possess, occupy, manage, or operate the Business or the Facility (collectively, the “Licensure Approvals”) in order for Buyer to consummate this Agreement, (i) Buyer shall no later than three (3) days prior to Closing cause the Prospective Licensee(s) to commence actions to file all applications and to take all necessary steps required to obtain such Licensure Approvals and (ii) Seller shall reasonably cooperate with the Prospective Licensees and do all things reasonably practicable to assist each Prospective Licensee in its efforts to obtain any such Licensure Approvals in the name of the Prospective Licensee as soon as reasonably practicable.  Seller, at no out of pocket cost or expense to Seller, shall cooperate with each Prospective Licensee prior and subsequent to the Closing in connection with the licensing process.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be fully responsible to

cure any licensure or regulatory findings or deficiencies relating to the Business or any aspect of the Property or the Facility, its management or operations related to the period prior to the Closing Date. Closing is subject to the Licensure Approval Condition, as more specifically set forth in Sections 13.1(i). Seller further agrees to assist each Prospective Licensee in any post-Closing transition with respect to the Licensure Approvals for a period up to sixty (60) days after the Closing Date.

9.1    In General.

All of the Facility Employees are at-will employees of Seller.
Seller shall terminate all employees employed at the Facility (including without limitation the Executive Director of the Facility) effective as of the Closing Date and take such other action as may be required by any applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders so that Buyer shall have no liability for any matter concerning any employee which accrued and relates to the period occurring prior to Closing, except for accrued vacation, sick time and other accrued paid time off which information shall be provided by Seller on a schedule within ten (10) business days of the Effective Date (“Accrued Employee Benefits”) related to Hired Employees, if any, with respect to which Buyer receives a credit in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.3(g) hereof, and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not result in the payment or accelerate any payment to any Facility Employees.  Buyer has no obligation to hire any Facility Employees.  In the event Buyer hires any employees of Seller, then Seller shall have no liability for any matter concerning any employee which accrues and relates to a period occurring from and after Closing.  With respect to all Hired Employees, Seller shall maintain the Hired Employee Closing Month-Insurance Benefits, and the cost thereof shall be prorated in accordance with Section 6.3(g) hereof.
Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, Buyer shall have the right to meet with the Executive Director, accountant/bookkeeper, marketing/sales director or any other department director of the Facility at any reasonable time after the Effective Date of this Agreement to discuss operational and other issues concerning the Facility (but not employment arrangements or offers of employment until after the expiration of the Study Period) and to review the Facility’s books and records. In addition, from and after the expiration of the Study Period, Buyer (and its prospective property manager) may meet with any employee at the Facility to discuss employment arrangements and operational and other issues concerning the Facility with any employee and Buyer’s property manager may, but shall have no obligation to, make offers of employment to any employee contingent upon Closing occurring hereunder and otherwise upon such terms and conditions of employment, compensation and benefits as Buyer shall determine in its sole discretion.  Additionally, Buyer shall have the right to conduct on-site “onboarding” meetings with employees at least thirty (30) days prior to the date that any Hired Employees would commence employment with Buyer and, at or in connection with such “onboarding” meetings, Buyer shall be permitted to distribute to such employees a form to be executed by such employees which allows Buyer to receive and retain a hard copy of the actual employment files (personnel, medical, etc.) retained by such employees’ current employer; 


	
			
	 
	21
	 









provided, however, that each such employee shall have the option of declining to sign such form.  With respect to each employee who executes the form, the applicable files shall be provided to Buyer or its manager at Closing.
Schedule 9.1-2 lists each Seller Employee Benefit Plan in which any Facility Employee participates.  The Seller has delivered to Buyer a complete and accurate copy of each Seller Employee Benefit Plan.  Seller has no current liability, contingent or otherwise under Title IV of ERISA.  Within the six (6) years preceding the Closing Date, neither Seller nor any ERISA Affiliate of Seller has been a party to, or made any contributions to, any “multiemployer plan” within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA, or any plan subject to Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code.  “Seller Employee Benefit Plan” means any employee benefit plan, as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, or any other material benefit arrangement (including any employment or consulting agreement, any arrangement providing for insurance coverage or workers’ compensation benefits, any incentive or deferred bonus arrangement, any arrangement providing termination allowance, severance pay, salary continuation for disability or other leave of absence, supplemental unemployment benefits, lay-off, reduction in force or similar benefits, any stock option or equity compensation plan, any deferred compensation plan, any compensation policy or practice (including, without limitation sick and vacation pay policies or practices), any educational assistance arrangements or policies, any plan governed by Section 125 of the Code, any fringe benefit (including, without limitation, company cars) and any change of control arrangements or policies) that is sponsored or contributed to by Seller or by an ERISA Affiliate of Seller (or that has been maintained by such Person within the preceding six (6) years) covering Facility Employees or former employees of Seller (but only with respect to the Facility Employees or former employees at the Facility) or any of their ERISA Affiliates.  “ERISA Affiliate” means any person and/or such person’s subsidiaries or Affiliates or any trade or business (whether or not incorporated) that is under common control with such person or such person’s subsidiaries or Affiliates or that is treated as a single employer with such person or such person’s subsidiaries or Affiliates under Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code or Section 4001(b)(1) of ERISA.
Seller agrees to comply with the non-compete provisions set forth in the Non-Compete Agreement (the “Non-Compete Agreement”) attached hereto as Exhibit F.  
9.2    WARN Act.  The parties do not believe the provisions of the Workers Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (the “WARN Act”) apply to this transaction and do not expect to incur any such liability as a result of actions taken or not taken prior to the Closing.  Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer from any loss, liabilities, debt, costs (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees) or any other amounts that Buyer may incur due to “employment losses”, as defined in the WARN Act, which occur prior to Closing; however, Seller shall have no liability hereunder for “employment losses” which occur as a result of the termination of employees by Buyer after the Closing Date.

(c)    If Buyer exercises its rights under Section 12.1(b) to enter onto the Property, Buyer shall keep the Property free and clear of any liens or claims resulting therefrom. If Buyer exercises this right of entry, Buyer shall not unreasonably disturb any Resident in his/her use and enjoyment of the Facility. The rights and obligations of the parties under this Section 12.1(c) shall survive the Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement.
12.2    Conditions to Buyer’s Investigations.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, Section 12.1, to the contrary, 


	
			
	 
	39
	 









Buyer’s investigations in connection with the Assets shall only be permitted in accordance with the following:
(a)    Limitations. Buyer’s investigations in connection with the Property shall be limited to such physically non-invasive investigations of the Property as Buyer deems necessary or advisable and shall expressly exclude such testing, sampling, boring, drilling, chipping, or disassembling related to so-called “Phase II” or “Phase III” except as otherwise expressly permitted herein by Seller in Seller’s reasonable discretion, which permission shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (it being agreed that it would be unreasonable for Seller to withhold, condition or delay its consent to such testing to the extent that such testing is recommended by a Phase I report). At Seller’s election, Seller may have a representative present during any such inspection.  Following each entry by Buyer, Buyer, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, and in strict accordance with all requirements of applicable Law, shall restore the Property to the same condition as its original condition prior to any investigation by Buyer. Prior to commencing any such investigation, Buyer shall request approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) to enter the Property by providing not less than two (2) days’ notice to Seller (which may be telephonic or electronic) prior to each entry onto the Property by Buyer or Buyer’s personnel or agents. Buyer assumes all risks and expenses arising out of Buyer’s investigation and any and all access to the Property granted to Buyer and Buyer’s personnel or agents. Buyer shall take commercially reasonable precautions to avoid or minimize any damage to the Property as a result of any inspection or other activity conducted by Buyer or Buyer’s agents, and Buyer shall be responsible for any damage caused to the Property resulting from the acts or negligence of Buyer or Buyer’s agents other than such damage that is caused in whole or in part by the acts or omissions by or on behalf of Seller or is related to any pre-existing conditions merely discovered by Buyer. 
(b)    Indemnity. Buyer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its shareholders, members, partners, officers, employees, agents and contractors against and from any loss, injury, damage, claim, lien, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) caused by the actions of Buyer or Buyer’s agents under this Section 12 other than those caused in whole or in part as the result of the acts or omissions by or on behalf of Seller or based on any pre-existing conditions merely discovered by Buyer.  The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing, termination of this Agreement and delivery of the Act of Sale.
12.3    Special Assessments. Seller shall provide Buyer, within ten (10) days of receipt, but in no event later than the Closing, copies of any notices Seller or its agents receive with respect to any special assessments or proposed increases in the valuation of the Property. After the Closing, Buyer shall have the right to contest, in the name of Seller, if appropriate, any proposed increase in the assessment of the Property, provided that Buyer pays all costs and expenses in connection therewith. Buyer shall promptly advise Seller in writing prior to the filing of any contest and shall provide Seller copies of all relevant documents in connection with such contest. Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in connection with any such contest.
13.          CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

If Buyer is unable to obtain a Financing Commitment as of the expiration of the Study Period, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, in its sole discretion, by giving written notice of such election on or prior to the expiration of the Study Period, in which event the Deposit shall be returned forthwith to Buyer.  If Buyer is unable to obtain Financing and does not give Seller written notice of its termination of this Agreement on or before the expiration of the Study Period, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived the Financing Commitment requirement and shall proceed to closing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

	42
	 









(o)    As of the Closing Date, Seller shall not have commenced (within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law) a voluntary case, nor shall there have been commenced against Seller an involuntary case, nor shall Seller have consented to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or any substantial part of its property, nor shall a court of competent jurisdiction have entered an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that is for relief against Seller in an involuntary case or appoints a Custodian of Seller for all or any substantial part of its property.

15.          CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION
15.1    Casualty. In the event that the Property is damaged or destroyed by any fire, flood or other casualty after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing, Seller shall give Buyer prompt written notice of the damage. If the damage is not material, then at Closing (i) Seller shall cause all collected insurance proceeds, plus the cash amount of all associated deductibles, to be paid over to Buyer (or credited against the Purchase Price) at Closing, (ii) Seller shall assign to Buyer all right, title and interest in and to all claims and proceeds Seller may have with respect to all policies of insurance relating to the Property at Closing, and (iii) Seller shall pay over to Buyer all insurance proceeds collected after the Closing by Seller promptly upon receipt thereof.  If the casualty causes material damage, then Buyer may elect by notice to Seller within thirty (30) days after Buyer is notified of such damage to either (i) elect to terminate this Agreement, in which case the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer without any further action required from either Party, Buyer and Seller shall each be liable for one half of any escrow fees or charges and neither Party shall have any further obligation to the other, or (ii) proceed as scheduled and (a) Seller shall cause all collected insurance proceeds, plus the cash amount of all associated deductibles, to be paid over to Buyer (or credited against the Purchase Price) at Closing, (b) Seller shall assign to Buyer all right, title and interest in and to all claims and proceeds Seller may have with respect to all policies of insurance relating to the Property at Closing, and (c) Seller shall pay over to Buyer all insurance proceeds collected after the Closing by Seller promptly upon receipt thereof.  In the event that the casualty is uninsured, Buyer may terminate this Agreement unless Buyer receives a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the cost of repairs.  Damage as to any one or more occurrences is “material” if the cost to repair the damage, as reasonably estimated by Seller’s engineer or expert, exceeds Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00). Buyer shall have the right to participate in the negotiations and settlement of any casualty-related claim in the event Buyer elects or is otherwise obligated to proceed with the Closing.  The provisions of this Section 15.1 shall survive the Closing.
15.2    Condemnation.  If before the Closing any of the Property is taken by condemnation or if any formal notice of a condemnation is issued to Seller, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer. If the condemnation is of a significant portion of the Property, affects the amount of parking, affects the Facility, or would, in Buyer’s reasonable discretion, adversely affect Buyer’s ability to use and enjoy the Property, Buyer may, within thirty (30) days after Seller notifies Buyer of any condemnation, terminate this Agreement by giving Seller written notice thereof, in which event this Agreement shall automatically terminate, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer without any further action required from either Party, Buyer and Seller shall each be liable for one half of any escrow fees or charges and the parties shall have no further liability to each other hereunder, except for Buyer’s obligations under Section 12.1(c) (relating to damages to property) and Section 19.1 (relating to broker’s commissions) which shall survive such termination.  If Seller gives notice to Buyer and Buyer does not terminate this Agreement, the Purchase Price shall not be reduced, but at the Closing Seller shall pay to Buyer any award 


	
			
	 
	47
	 









made for such condemnation which is received by Seller before the Closing, and assign to Buyer all of Seller’s interest in any award made for condemnation after the Closing. Buyer shall have the right to control the negotiations and settlement of any condemnation claims in the event Buyer elects or is otherwise obligated to proceed with the Closing.  Seller shall give written notice to Buyer within three (3) business days after Seller’s receiving notice of the commencement of any proceedings for the taking by exercise of the power of eminent domain of all or any part of the Property.  The provisions of this Section 15.2 shall survive the Closing.
16.          DEFAULT
16.1    Rights.  On any default by a Party prior to the Closing, the non-defaulting Party may, by notifying the defaulting Party, declare such default and exercise its rights under this Section 16 if the default is not cured within five (5) business days after notice except for failure to close on the Closing Date. The remedies set forth in this Section are the exclusive remedies of the parties prior to the Closing related to a default of a Party. After the Closing, the Parties’ sole and exclusive remedies are set forth in Section 18 below. 
16.2    Buyer Default. If Buyer makes the Deposit and fails to close on the Closing Date under this Agreement or the Rosewood Agreement, as such Closing Date may have been extended, Seller may terminate this Agreement and the Rosewood Agreement by written notice to Buyer and thereupon shall be entitled to the Deposit as liquidated (stipulated) damages (and not as a penalty) and as Seller’s sole remedy and relief hereunder (except for any surviving obligations). Seller and Buyer have made this provision for liquidated damages because it would be difficult to calculate, as of the Effective Date, the amount of actual damages for such breach, and Seller and Buyer agree that the Deposit, if any, represents reasonable compensation to Seller for such breach. IF (A) BUYER HAS PAID THE DEPOSIT, FAILS TO CLOSE AND SAID DEPOSIT IS PAID TO SELLER, OR (B) THIS AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED BY BUYER FOR ANY OTHER REASON PERMITTED IN THIS AGREEMENT, BUYER SHALL BE RELIEVED OF ANY OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY AND FROM ALL OTHER OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT EXCEPT FOR THOSE OBLIGATIONS THAT EXPRESSLY SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
16.3    Seller’s Default. If Seller is the defaulting Party (or Rosewood is the defaulting Party under the Rosewood Agreement) prior to the Closing, Buyer shall be entitled, after such declaration of default to (a) seek specific performance and compel Seller to convey the Assets as required hereunder or (b) terminate this Agreement and the Rosewood Agreement and receive a return of the Deposit, and Seller shall reimburse Buyer for all of Buyer’s due diligence costs and legal fees incurred in connection with this transaction within ten (10) days of written demand and delivery of reasonable supporting documentation up to a maximum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) (inclusive of expenses relating to both this Agreement (and the Property) and the Rosewood Agreement (and the Rosewood Assets).  The provisions of this Section 16.3 to the contrary notwithstanding, if Buyer elects to pursue the equitable remedy of specific performance and in any such action for specific performance, the court rules that the remedy of specific performance is not available to Buyer, then Buyer may avail itself of the rights and remedies available under this Section 16.3 and the running of any and all prescriptive periods, statutes of limitation, statutes of repose, passage of time relating to laches and other statutes, rules, doctrines or principles which impose any time limits for commencing any suit, action, 


	
			
	 
	48
	 









arbitration, mediation or other proceeding on account of such breach or default by Seller shall be suspended and tolled while Buyer is pursuing any such action for specific performance.  The foregoing does not limit Seller’s liability under any indemnity or other provision of this Agreement that, by its terms, survives a termination of this Agreement or is to be performed after Closing.
16.4    Survival.  The provisions of this Section 16 shall survive the Closing without limitation.
17.          ASSURANCES
17.1    Further Assurances.  From and after the Closing, Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, agree to execute and deliver such further documents and instruments and to do such other acts and things (including the making of filings and re-prorating items covering pre-Closing periods in accordance with Section 6.3 but which become available after the Closing), as Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, may reasonably request in order to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event any Party shall be involved in litigation, threatened litigation or government inquires with respect to a matter involving Seller, the other parties shall also make available to such first Party, at reasonable times and subject to the reasonable requirements of their or its own business, such of their or its personnel as may have information relevant to the matters, except in the event such matter involves a dispute arising under this Agreement. Following the Closing, the parties will cooperate with each other in connection with Tax audits and in the defense of any legal proceedings, consistent with the other provisions for defense of claims provided in Sections 18.4 or 18.5 of this Agreement, and to facilitate the collection of any accounts receivable, to the extent such cooperation does not cause unreasonable expense, unless such expense is borne by the requesting Party.
17.2    Access to the Records. From and after the Closing Date and until the first anniversary of the Closing Date, subject to applicable privacy rights of the Residents, Buyer shall allow Seller and its agents and representatives to have reasonable access to (upon reasonable prior notice and during normal business hours), and to make copies of the Records, to the extent reasonably necessary to enable Seller to among other things investigate and defend malpractice, employee or other claims, to file or defend cost reports and Tax Returns, to complete/revise, as needed, any patient assessments which may be required for Seller to seek reimbursement for services rendered prior to the Closing Date, to verify accounts receivable collections due Seller and to enable Seller to complete, in accordance with Seller’s policies and procedures, any and all post-Closing Date accounting, reconciliation and closing procedures, including, but not limited to, a month end close out of all accounts. Seller agrees not to use or disclose any of the information obtained from Buyer except solely for the purposes described herein and further agrees to maintain this information confidential. Likewise, from and after the Closing Date and until the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller shall allow Buyer and its agents reasonable access to the Records, to the extent Buyer reasonably requires such access in connection with accounting, billing and Tax filings or securities filings. Buyer agrees not to use or disclose any of the information obtained from Seller except solely for the purposes described herein and further agrees to maintain this information as confidential.

Representations”), which shall survive the Closing for a period of ten (10) years; provided, however, that: (i) if at the expiration of the Applicable Survival Period (as defined below), any Claim or assessment for indemnification has been asserted (for which proper notice has been given in accordance with Section 18.4) but not fully determined, or any audit or other proceeding with respect to any Tax matter has been initiated, such period will be extended as to such Claim, assessment, audit or other proceeding until it is finally resolved, determined or concluded as applicable; (ii) if a particular provision is stated as surviving the Closing indefinitely, such provision shall survive the Closing for a period of ten (10) years; and (iii) with respect to any claims of breach of this Agreement by Seller resulting from Seller’s fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct, such limitations period shall be the longest period permitted by applicable law. All covenants and agreements contained herein which by their terms are to be performed in whole or in part, or which prohibit actions, subsequent to the Closing Date, shall survive the Closing in accordance with their terms; provided that any such covenant or agreement which expires on a date certain shall survive until such date certain. All other covenants and agreements contained herein shall not survive the Closing and shall thereupon terminate. The period for which a representation or warranty, covenant or agreement survives the Closing is referred to herein as the “Applicable Survival Period”. The provisions of this Section 18.3 shall supersede and render null and void any right of merger or similar rule of law which would or could otherwise take effect with respect to the representations and warranties covered by Section 10.  
18.4    Notice to the Indemnifying Party.  Promptly after the assertion of any Claim by a third-party against a Party hereto or of a Party learning of the occurrence of any event which may give rise to a Claim for indemnification from a Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this Section 18, and in no event more than thirty (30) days after receiving written notice of such a Claim, such Party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such Claim, describing the claim, the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable) and the basis thereof (the “Indemnity Notice”) and, with respect to Claims by third parties, advise the Indemnifying Party whether the Indemnified Party intends to contest same. The right to indemnification hereunder shall not be affected by any failure or delay of or by the Indemnified Party to give an Indemnity Notice (provided such written notice was delivered on or before the end of the Applicable Survival Period) unless, and then only to the extent that, the rights and remedies of the Indemnifying Party shall have been prejudiced (including the ability of the Indemnifying Party to obtain applicable insurance coverage) or the Losses for which the indemnification rights exist are materially greater than such Losses would have been had prompt notice been given, in each case, as a result of the failure of the Indemnified Party to give, or delay in giving, such Indemnity Notice.
18.5    Rights of Parties to Defend and Settle. The Indemnifying Party covenants and agrees to defend the Indemnified Party on account of any Claim which is subject to indemnification hereunder. If the right of indemnity hereunder shall arise from the Claim of a third party, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume and control the defense (but not, except as otherwise provided herein, the settlement) of the Claim, including the employment of counsel of its choosing, which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall pay all costs and expenses relative to the conduct of such defense, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party in connection with the conduct of such defense. The Indemnified 


	
			
	 
	51
	 









Party shall, nevertheless, have the right, if it so elects, to participate (at its own expense and with counsel of its choosing and at its own cost and expense) in the defense of any such Claim without relieving the Indemnifying Party of its obligation to defend the same. If the Indemnifying Party fails to timely undertake the defense of such Claim, then the Indemnified Party may take any and all necessary action to dispose of such Claim, including, without limitation, the settlement or full payment thereof upon such terms as it shall deem appropriate, in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event the Indemnifying Party undertakes the defense of such Claim, the Indemnifying Party (or its insurance carrier) may settle such Claim under this Section 18.5, without the Indemnified Party’s consent, so long as such settlement involves only the payment of money (for which the Indemnifying Party is entirely responsible), does not require the Indemnified Party to admit liability, responsibility or wrongdoing, and includes a full and complete release of the Indemnified Party.
18.6    Limitations. 
(a)    No Indemnified Party shall make any Claim for indemnification against an Indemnifying Party unless and until the aggregate amount of such indemnifiable Losses of such Indemnified Party exceeds Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) (the “Minimum Claim Amount”), whereupon the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification for the amount of such Claim, or portion thereof; provided, however, that such Minimum Claim Amount shall not apply in the case of any Claim for Losses attributable to a Fundamental Representation. Except as otherwise provided herein, no Indemnified Party may recover, in the aggregate, an amount greater than Three Million One Hundred Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($3,125,000.00) (the “Cap”) from the other pursuant to Section 18.1 or Section 18.2; provided, however, that such Cap shall not apply in the case of any claim for Losses attributable to breaches of any of the Fundamental Representations. The limitations set forth in this Section 18.6(a) shall not apply to any claims for indemnification (A) made pursuant to Sections 18.1(a), (b) or (c) or Section 18.2(a) or made (B) for Losses resulting from fraud (as ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct provided, further, that in no event shall any Party have any liability hereunder in excess of the Purchase Price.
(b)    No claim for indemnification may be made or pursued (and each party, as applicable, expressly waives any right to indemnification) for any indirect damage, consequential or special loss or damage, diminution in value, economic loss, loss of profits or punitive damages, except to the extent actually awarded to a third party or agreed to by the Parties.
(c)    The Indemnified Party shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate all indemnifiable Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event which could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses hereunder.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Section 18 shall be net of (i) any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party pursuant to any indemnification by, or indemnification agreement with, any third party with respect to the matter to which the Loss relates, less any costs or expenses incurred in connection therewith, and (ii) any insurance proceeds or other cash receipts or sources of reimbursement actually recovered by the 


	
			
	 
	52
	 









Indemnified Party with respect to the matter to which the Loss relates, less any costs, expenses or premiums incurred in connection therewith (and no right of subrogation shall accrue to any insurer or third party indemnitor hereunder) (each such items identified in clauses (i) and (ii), a “Collateral Source”). If the amount to be netted hereunder from any payment required under this Section 18 is determined after payment by the Indemnifying Party of any amount otherwise required to be paid to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 18, the Indemnified Party shall repay to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after such determination, any amount that the Indemnifying Party would not have had to pay pursuant to this Section 18.6(d) had such determination been made at the time of such payment. To the extent an Indemnified Party may have a right to receive proceeds from a Collateral Source and such Indemnified Party does not pursue such right, any Indemnifying Party may, in its sole discretion, require such Indemnified Party to grant an assignment of the right of such Indemnified Party to assert a claim against any such Collateral Source. In the event of such assignment, the Indemnifying Party may pursue such claim at its own expense subject to the Indemnified Party’s right to participate in such effort.
18.7    Reimbursement.  Unless otherwise contested by the Indemnifying Party, at the time that the Indemnified Party shall suffer a Loss because of a breach of any warranty, representation or covenant by the Indemnifying Party or at the time the amount of any liability on the part of the Indemnifying Party under this Section 18 is finally determined (which in the case of payments to third persons shall be the earlier of: (a) the date of such payments; or (b) the date that a court of competent jurisdiction shall enter a final judgment, order or decree (after exhaustion of appeal rights establishing such liability)), the Indemnifying Party shall forthwith (unless such amount is being contested by the Indemnifying Party), upon notice from the Indemnified Party, pay to the Indemnified Party, the amount of the indemnity claim. If such amount is not paid forthwith (unless such amount is being contested by the Indemnifying Party), then the Indemnified Party may, at its option, take legal action against the Indemnifying Party for reimbursement in the amount of its indemnity claim and all legal fees and expenses incurred in seeking reimbursement of its indemnity, including all appeal(s).
18.8    Sole and Exclusive Remedy/Distribution of Holdback Amount. 
(a)    After the Closing, this Section 18 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedies (except with respect to Losses arising from fraud, bad faith or intentional misconduct on the part of any Party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), for all matters relating to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and for the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein or in any certificate delivered pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 
(b)    With respect to Losses claimed by Buyer, Escrow Agent shall disburse to Buyer all or any portion of the Holdback Amount as is specified in a written request (the “Written Request”) from Buyer delivered to Escrow Agent with a copy to Seller, which disbursement shall be made by Escrow Agent on the fifteenth (15th) day after the delivery of the Buyer’s Written Request to Escrow Agent; provided, however, if Escrow Agent receives a written objection from Seller to any portion of the requested disbursement which is the subject of Buyer’s Written Request within ten (10) days following Buyer’s submission to Escrow Agent of Buyer’s Written Request, the Escrow Agent shall not disburse to Buyer the amount set forth in 


	
			
	 
	53
	 









such Buyer’s Written Request and Escrow Agent’s obligations with respect to such Buyer’s Written Request shall be governed by Schedule 6.1(a).
(c)    Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, upon expiration of twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, Seller shall be entitled to any and all the remaining Holdback Amount plus accrued interest held by Escrow Agent which are not subject to a valid Written Request of Buyer received by Escrow Agent and Seller, and Escrow Agent shall remit such remaining Holdback Amount to Seller without the necessity of any request or direction from Buyer; provided, however, Buyer shall promptly provide Escrow Agent and/or Seller, if requested, a letter to Escrow Agent affirming its approval of the remittance of the remaining Holdback Amount to Seller in accordance with this Section 18.8(c).
19.          COMMISSIONS
19.1    Commissions. Each Party represents to the other that, in connection with such sale, the Party so representing has not dealt with any real estate broker, agent or finder with the exception of Cushman & Wakefield (“Seller’s Broker”), who represents Seller and whose commission or other compensation due on account thereof is under separate agreement with Seller and shall be paid by Seller. Each Party shall be responsible for the fees of their respective attorneys, advisors and consultants. Seller shall hold harmless and indemnify Buyer from any claim for commission or other compensation from a broker or agent represented or engaged by Seller. Buyer shall hold harmless and indemnify Seller from any claim for commission or other compensation from a broker or agent representing or engaged by Buyer other than Seller’s Broker.

20.5    Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
20.6    Construction. All references made in the neuter, masculine or feminine gender shall be deemed to have been made in all such genders; and in the singular or plural number shall be deemed to have been made, respectively, in the plural or singular number as well. The word “including” shall mean and be deemed to include the phrase “without limitation” in each instance it appears.  The words “herein”, “hereunder,” and similar terms refer to this Agreement as a whole.
20.7    Schedules and Exhibits. Each schedule, writing or document referred to as being attached as a Schedule and any Exhibit attached hereto is hereby made a part of this Agreement. Matters reflected on the Schedules are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be reflected therein and the inclusion of such matters shall not be deemed an admission that such matters were required to be reflected on the Schedule. Such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes only and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature. Any matter reflected on one Schedule shall be deemed to qualify the representations and warranties of either Party, as applicable, if the application to such other representation and warranty is reasonably apparent.
20.8    Severability. If any provision, clause or part of this Agreement, or the application thereof under certain circumstances, is held invalid or unenforceable by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such provision, clause or part under other circumstances, shall not be affected thereby and the Parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term
20.9    Counterparts; Headings. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed original, but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same agreement. The Table of Contents and Article and Section headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof or be used as interpreting the meaning of this Agreement.
20.10    Facsimile or Electronic Signatures. The exchange of copies of this Agreement (and any amendments thereto) and of signature pages by facsimile or electronic transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Agreement as to the Parties and may be used in lieu of the original Agreement for all purposes. Signatures of the Parties transmitted by facsimile or e-mail shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.
20.11    Equal Participation. Each Party hereto hereby acknowledges that all Parties hereto participated equally in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and that, 


	
			
	 
	56
	 









accordingly, no court construing this Agreement shall construe it more stringently against one Party than against the other.
20.12    Exclusivity. Until and unless this Agreement is terminated or until the Closing, whichever occurs first, Seller will not solicit any offers or proposals, or enter into any new letters of intent (or modify or extend any existing letters of intent) or contracts or enter into or pursue negotiations with any third-party with respect to a transaction relating to the sale, transfer, conveyance, merger or any other transaction of similar import with respect to Seller or any of the Assets.  
20.13    Assignment. Neither Party may assign any rights or obligations arising out of this Agreement without the consent of the other Party, which is not to be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may assign its interests herein to (a) an Affiliate of Buyer on or before Closing or (b) any entity (or directly deed the Land and assign all of the Assets) so long as Buyer or an Affiliate enters into a lease for all of the Land and Improvements and Buyer or an Affiliate operates the Business; however, no such assignment shall relieve the Buyer of its obligations hereunder until Closing; provided, however, with respect to any assignment, if Closing occurs the assigning party (but not the assignee) shall be relieved of all its obligations arising under this Agreement before, on and after Closing. Documents evidencing assignment shall be provided to either Party, as applicable, on or before the earlier of (i) ten (10) days after the effective date of such assignment or (ii) five (5) days before the Closing.  For the avoidance of doubt, any provisions herein which state that all or any portion of the Property shall be assigned or transferred “to Buyer” shall be deemed to mean “to Buyer or its assignee”. 
20.14    No Reliance. No third party, other than a successor by operation of Law or an assignee permitted by this Agreement, is entitled to rely on any of the representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement and no Party to this Agreement assumes any liability to any third party, other than an assignee permitted by this Agreement, because of any reliance on the representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement.
20.15    Expenses. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, each of the Parties hereto shall pay the fees and expenses of their respective counsel, consultants and other expenses incident to the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
20.16    Publicity. Each of Seller and Buyer agrees that prior to the Closing it shall not issue any written press release concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without obtaining the prior written approval of either Buyer or Seller, as applicable, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, unless, in the judgment of such issuing party upon advice of counsel, disclosure is otherwise required by applicable Law, provided that such Party that intends to make such release shall use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with such applicable Law requirement to consult with the other parties with respect to the text thereof.
20.17    Confidentiality. Seller and Buyer acknowledge and agree that the information disclosed by each Party to the other regarding such Party or the Business (the “Confidential Information”) is confidential in nature and agree that, such Confidential Information shall be 


	
			
	 
	57
	 









kept confidential by the receiving Party, shall not be used for any reason or purpose other than for the reasonable use in connection with the evaluation and consummation of the transaction contemplated under this Agreement, and without limiting the foregoing shall not be disclosed by the receiving Party to any Person except in each case as otherwise expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement or with the prior written consent of the disclosing Party or as required by law.  Seller shall have the right to disclose the Confidential Information of the Buyer only to Seller’s representatives who reasonably require such matter for purposes of evaluating the transactions contemplated under this Agreement; provided that Seller agrees to be responsible for any breach of this Section 20.17 by any representative to whom it discloses Confidential Information. Buyer shall have the right to disclose the Confidential Information of the Seller only to Buyer’s representatives and consultants who reasonably require such matter for purposes of evaluating and performing due diligence on the Assets, and all other aspects of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement; such permitted representatives shall include, as an illustration but without limitation, Buyer’s affiliated companies, their employees and partners, and their legal, accounting, environmental, title, survey, governmental, healthcare, insurance and other third party consultants; provided that Buyer agrees to be responsible for any breach of this Section 20.17 by any representative to whom it discloses Confidential Information. Also, Buyer or any Prospective Licensee may disclose Confidential Information of the Seller to Governmental Authorities in connection with seeking any Consents, Approvals or Licenses.  Furthermore, each of Buyer and Seller shall have the right to share the Confidential Information to Escrow Agent consistent with this Agreement and to make any disclosure required by law. If this Agreement is terminated, each receiving Party shall immediately return or destroy all Confidential Information of the disclosing Party in the receiving Party’s possession, provided, however, that the receiving Party may retain a list that contains general descriptions of the information that is returned. Neither Seller nor Buyer is waiving and, will not be deemed to have waived or diminished, any of its attorney work product protections, attorney-client privileges or similar protections and privileges as a result of disclosing its Confidential Information to the receiving Party, regardless of whether the disclosing Party has asserted or is, or may be, entitled to such privileges and protections. In no event shall Confidential Information include any information that prior to disclosure by the disclosing Party to the receiving Party was available or known to the public. 
20.18    Limitation on Liability.  All claims, demands, liabilities, or causes of action (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute, but excluding fraud, intentional misrepresentation and willful misconduct) that may be asserted by Buyer or any of its members, directors, officers, shareholders, employees, advisors, affiliates, agents, attorneys, or their respective successors and assigns (each, a “Buyer Party” and collectively, the “Buyer Parties”) arising from, related to or in connection with this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution, or performance of this Agreement, may be made only against Seller. No present or future partner, member, director, officer, shareholder, employee, advisor, affiliate, agent, attorney, property manager, or asset manager of or in Seller or any person or entity holding a direct or indirect interest in any of the foregoing (each, a “Seller Party” and collectively, the “Seller Parties”) shall have any direct or indirect personal liability arising from, related to or in connection with this Agreement or the negotiation, execution, or performance thereof, and to the maximum extent permitted by Law, Buyer hereby waives any and all such personal liability against any and all Seller Parties. The limitations on liability contained in this Section 20.12 are in addition to, and not in limitation of, any limitation on liability applicable to Seller and the 


	
			
	 
	58
	 









Seller Parties provided in any other provision of this Agreement or by Law or by any other contract, agreement or instrument. Without limiting the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, Buyer, on behalf of itself and the other Buyer Parties, (a) hereby waives and releases any and all rights, claims, demands, or causes of action that may otherwise be available at Law or in equity, or granted by statute, to avoid or disregard the entity form of Seller or otherwise impose liability of Seller on any Seller Party, whether granted by statute or based on theories of equity, agency, control, instrumentality, alter ego, domination, sham, single business enterprise, piercing the veil, unfairness, undercapitalization, or otherwise; and (b) disclaims any reliance upon any Seller Party with respect to the performance of this Agreement or any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to this Agreement.
20.19    Attorneys’ Fees and Legal Expenses. Should either Party hereto institute any action or proceeding in court to enforce any provision hereof or for damages by reason of any alleged breach of any provision of this Agreement or for any other judicial remedy, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to receive from the losing Party all reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred and all court costs in connection with said proceedings and any appeal(s).
20.20    OFAC Policy. Seller and Buyer represent and warrant to each other that neither Seller nor Buyer nor any of their respective constituents or affiliates have engaged in any dealings or transactions, directly or indirectly: (a) in contravention of any U.S., international or other money laundering regulations or conventions, including, without limitation, the United States Bank Secrecy Act, the United States Money Laundering Control Act of 1986, The United States International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act of 2001, Trading with the Enemy Act (50 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., as amended), or any foreign asset control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) or any enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto; or (b) in contravention of Executive Order No. 13224 dated September 24, 2001 issued by the President of the United States (Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), as may be amended or supplemented from time to time (“Anti-Terrorism Order”) or on behalf of terrorist or terrorist organizations, including those persons or entities that are included on any relevant lists maintained by the United Nations, North Atlantic Treaty Organization, Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development, Financial Action Task Force, U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control, U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission, U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or any country or organization, all as may be amended from time to time. Seller and Buyer represent and warrant to each other that neither Seller nor Buyer nor any of their respective Affiliates (i) are or will be conducting any business or engaging in any transaction with any person appearing on the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control list of restrictions and prohibited persons, or (ii) are a person described in Section 1 of the Anti-Terrorism Order, and, to the best of Buyer’s and Seller’s knowledge, neither Seller nor Buyer nor any of their respective Affiliates have engaged in any dealings or transactions, or otherwise been associated with any such person. If at any time this representation becomes false, it shall be considered a default under this Agreement and Seller and Buyer shall have the right to exercise all of the remedies set forth in this Agreement and/or to terminate this Agreement immediately.
20.21    Intentionally Omitted. 


	
			
	 
	59
	 









20.22    Simultaneous Closing. It is understood between the Parties that Buyer is also a buyer of certain assets (the “Rosewood Assets”) from Hannie Development, Inc. (“Rosewood”), a Louisiana business corporation, operating an assisted living facility in Lafayette, Louisiana pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated of even date herewith between Buyer and Rosewood (the “Rosewood Agreement”), and that the Closing contemplated herein shall be contingent upon the simultaneous closing by Buyer and purchase of the Rosewood Assets under the Rosewood Agreement.  Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that the failure of any condition to Buyer’s or Seller’s obligation to close under the Rosewood Agreement shall be deemed a failure of a Buyer’s or Seller’s, as applicable, condition to Closing hereunder (and, in the case of Buyer, such condition shall constitute a “Buyer’s Closing Condition” as defined herein.  If Buyer fails to close under the Rosewood Agreement for any reason other than Buyer’s default under the Rosewood Agreement, Buyer shall have the option to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent. Upon any such termination, Escrow Agent shall pay the Deposit to Buyer and neither Party shall have any further obligation to the other hereunder except for Buyer’s and Seller’s obligations under this Agreement which expressly survive termination.   Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that an extension of any date or time period under the Rosewood Agreement (including without limitation, the expiration of the applicable study period or the applicable closing date), shall automatically constitute an extension of the corollary date or time period hereunder.
