PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT


THIS PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the 2nd day of August, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), by and among (i) each party listed as a “Seller” on Schedule I attached hereto and made a party hereof (individually or collectively, as the context requires, “Seller”), (ii) each party listed as “Existing Operator” on Schedule I attached hereto and made a party hereof (individually or collectively, as the context requires, “Existing Operator”), each of Seller and Existing Operator having a principal address at c/o Fortress Investment Group, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10105 and (iii) each party listed as a “Purchaser” on Schedule I, having a principal address at c/o Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV, Inc., 18191 Von Karman Avenue, Suite 300, Irvine, CA 92612 (individually or collectively, as the context requires, “Purchaser”).


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein, Seller and Purchaser hereby agree as follows:


RECITALS


Seller owns the real property identified on Schedule I, as more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof, together with the Facilities (as hereinafter defined) located thereon and identified on Schedule I, together with certain other personal property, and each Seller leases same to an Existing Operator.  Existing Operator also owns certain tangible and intangible property relating to the use and operation of the Facility it leases from a Seller.  Seller and Existing Operator each desires to sell, and Purchaser desires to purchase, such real property, the Facilities and certain related property, on the terms and conditions set forth below.


ARTICLE I 
DEFINED TERMS


Unless otherwise defined herein, any term with its initial letter capitalized in this Agreement shall have the meaning set forth in Annex 1 attached hereto and made a part hereof. 


ARTICLE II 
PURCHASE AND SALE & PURCHASE PRICE 


2.1    Purchase and Sale.  Seller and Existing Operator each agrees to sell and convey the Property to Purchaser (or one or more entities formed, owned or controlled by Purchaser for the purpose of acquiring all or a portion of the Property) and Purchaser agrees (for itself or on behalf of those entities formed, owned or controlled by Purchaser for the purpose of acquiring all or a portion of the Property) to purchase the Property from Seller and Existing Operator, all in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller and Existing Operator shall not sell, assign, transfer, convey or deliver to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall not purchase, and the Property shall not include any of the Seller’s or Existing Operator’s right, title and interest in the Excluded Assets.  Upon Closing, neither Purchaser nor any Affiliate thereof shall assume any liabilities of Seller or Existing Operator in connection with the Facilities or the Transactions other than the Assumed Liabilities.  Seller and Existing Operator shall retain and discharge when 


1





due all liabilities and obligations of Seller and Existing Operator, respectively, and Purchaser is not responsible for and does not assume, and shall not have any obligation to pay, perform, satisfy or discharge any liability or obligation of any kind or nature, including, without limitation, any claims, lawsuits, liabilities, obligations or debts of Seller and/or Existing Operator, whether contractual, statutory, judicially created or constitutional, including, without limitation, malpractice or other tort claims, statutory, regulatory or administrative claims, penalties, taxes, fines, assessments, deficiencies and/or claims of state or federal agencies, whether civil or criminal, fraud-based claims, or claims of breach of contract, except to the extent expressly and unambiguously expressed herein to the contrary, that arises from, out of, or relates to Seller’s or Existing Operator’s ownership or operation of the Facilities or Property or any activity of Seller or Existing Operator prior to the Closing Date or conduct of Seller or Existing Operator after the Closing Date (“Excluded Liabilities”).  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions, in no event shall the Assumed Liabilities include any obligations of Seller or Existing Operator relating to third-party payor programs, including, without limitation, any Governmental Programs, arising, accruing, or relating to the time period before the Closing Date. 


2.2    Purchase Price.  The total purchase price (“Purchase Price”) for the Property shall be an amount equal to Seventy Million and no/100 Dollars ($70,000,000), subject to prorations and/or adjustments required by this Agreement, payable by or on behalf of Purchaser as follows: 


2.2.1    Within three (3) Business Days following the execution of this Agreement, and as a condition to the effectiveness and enforceability of this Agreement, Purchaser shall deliver to the Los Angeles, California office of First American Title Insurance Company (“Escrow Agent” or “Title Company”) a deposit in the amount of One Million Seven Hundred Eight-Seven Thousand Two Hundred Thirty-Four and no/100 Dollars ($1,787,234.00) (together with income and interest accrued thereon, the “Deposit”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds.


2.2.2    The balance of the Purchase Price for the Property, subject to prorations and/or adjustments required by this Agreement, shall be paid to and received by Escrow Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds no later than 10:00 a.m. (Pacific) on the Closing Date, and Escrow Agent shall disburse all funds it receives from the parties in connection with the Closing pursuant to the Closing Statement; provided, however, that a portion of such Purchase Price so paid to the Escrow Agent equal to One Million Seven Hundred Eight-Seven Thousand Two Hundred Thirty-Four and no/100 Dollars ($1,787,234.00) will be deposited into an escrow account for the eighteen (18) month period following the Closing Date as a non-exclusive source of funds to satisfy any Seller Indemnifiable Damages (together with the Indemnity Escrow provided for in Section 2.2.2 of the Separate PSA, the “Indemnity Escrow”), it being understood that one hundred percent (100%) of the Indemnity Escrow then remaining in such escrow account, less the amount of any Seller Indemnifiable Damages (defined below) against the Indemnity Escrow that are outstanding as of said date or other amounts reserved in respect of any claim for indemnification pursuant to Article IX, will be released to Seller within five (5) Business Days after the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing.  The conditions for the release or distribution of the Indemnity Escrow are more particularly set forth in that certain Indemnity Escrow Agreement, which shall be executed and delivered by Purchaser, 


2





Seller and the Escrow Agent at the Closing, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Indemnity Escrow Agreement”).


2.2.3    Seller shall be responsible for any prepayment penalties or fees associated with the pay-off of any debt encumbering the Land or any of the other Property.


2.2.4     Solely for the purposes of calculating real estate transfer taxes or similar taxes imposed with respect to the Transactions, or as otherwise necessary or appropriate in connection with the consummation of the Transactions and the performance of each party’s obligations under this Agreement, each of Seller, Existing Operator and Purchaser shall agree prior to Closing to allocations of the Purchase Price and Deposit between and among the Facilities.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of Seller, Existing Operator and Purchaser agrees to file federal, state and local Tax Returns based on each party’s own determination of the proper allocations of the Purchase Price, each bearing its own consequences of any discrepancies.


2.2.5    All currency amounts set forth in this Agreement are expressed in United States Dollars.


2.2.6    The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall survive the Closing.


2.3    Escrow Provisions.  Escrow Agent has agreed to hold the Deposit and the Indemnity Escrow and act as escrow agent in connection with the Transactions in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Indemnity Escrow Agreement, and any other escrow agreement or instructions executed by Escrow Agent and the parties hereto.


(a)    Upon receipt of the Deposit, Escrow Agent shall deliver to Seller and Purchaser written notice confirming Escrow Agent’s receipt of the Deposit, the date on which Escrow Agent received the Deposit and that the Deposit has been deposited as required by this Agreement.  Escrow Agent shall invest the Deposit in a money market account reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, and shall promptly provide Purchaser and Seller with confirmation of the investments made.


(b)    If Closing occurs, Escrow Agent shall deliver the Deposit to Seller at Closing and the same shall be credited against the Purchase Price.  If for any reason Closing does not occur, Escrow Agent shall deliver the Deposit to Seller or Purchaser only upon receipt of a written demand therefor from such party, except where this paragraph expressly provides for notice only from Purchaser. Subject to the last sentence of this clause (b), if for any reason the Closing does not occur and either party makes a written demand (the “Demand”) upon the Escrow Agent for payment of the Deposit, the Escrow Agent shall give written notice to the other party of the Demand within one Business Day after receipt of the Demand.  If the Escrow Agent does not receive a written objection from the other party to the proposed payment within five (5) Business Days after the giving of such notice by Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make the payment set forth in the Demand.  If the Escrow Agent does receive such written objection within such period, the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such amount until otherwise directed by written instructions signed by Seller and Purchaser or a final judgment of a court.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause (b) if Purchaser 


3





delivers a notice to Escrow Agent stating that Purchaser has terminated this Agreement on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, a copy of which notice shall be simultaneously delivered to Seller and Existing Operator, then Escrow Agent shall immediately return the Deposit to Purchaser without the necessity of delivering any notice to, or receiving any notice from Seller, and Escrow Agent shall do so notwithstanding any objection by Seller.  


(c)    The parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that the Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the parties, and that the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to either of the parties for any action or omission on its part taken or made in good faith, and not in disregard of this Agreement, but shall be liable for its negligent acts and for any liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred by Seller or Purchaser resulting from the Escrow Agent’s mistake of law respecting the Escrow Agent’s scope or nature of its duties.  Seller and Purchaser shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against all liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred in connection with the performance of the Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder, except with respect to actions or omissions taken or made by the Escrow Agent in bad faith, in disregard of this Agreement or involving negligence on the part of the Escrow Agent.  The Escrow Agent has executed this Agreement in the place indicated on the signature page hereof in order to confirm that the Escrow Agent has received and shall hold the Deposit in escrow, and shall disburse the Deposit pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8. 


(d)    Purchaser and Seller, together, shall have the right to terminate the appointment of Escrow Agent hereunder by giving to it notice of such termination, specifying the date upon which such termination shall take effect and designating a replacement Escrow Agent, who shall sign a counterpart of this Agreement. Upon demand of such successor Escrow Agent, the Deposit shall be turned over and delivered to such successor Escrow Agent, who shall thereupon be bound by all of the provisions hereof.  Escrow Agent may resign at will and be discharged from its duties or obligations hereunder by giving notice in writing of such resignation specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect; provided, however, that (i) prior to such resignation a substitute escrow agent is approved in writing by Seller and Purchaser, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or (ii) Escrow Agent shall deposit the Deposit with a court of competent jurisdiction.  After such resignation, Escrow Agent shall have no further duties or liability hereunder.

If Purchaser delivers to Seller a written election to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.6 prior to the expiration of the Rent Roll Review Period, the parties shall provide written instructions to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to return the Deposit to Purchaser, and this Agreement shall terminate automatically and be of no further force or effect,

If Existing Operator receives rents with respect to the period of time form and after the Closing Date, it shall immediately pay same to or as directed by Purchaser.  


5.5.7    Insurance.  No proration shall be made in relation to insurance premiums.  Insurance policies will not be assigned to Purchaser.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER AND PURCHASER


The disclosure schedules attached hereto (the “Disclosure Schedules”) are arranged in sections and subsections corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections and subsections contained in this Agreement to which such sections and subsections of the Disclosure Schedules relate.  An exception to a representation or warranty in this Article VI set forth in the Disclosure Schedules effectively modifies the corresponding representation or warranty in this Article VI; provided that any fact or condition disclosed in any section of the Disclosure Schedules in such a way as to make its relevance to a representation or representations made elsewhere in this Article VI reasonably apparent on its face shall be deemed to be an exception to such representation or representations notwithstanding the omission of a reference or cross reference thereto.  Any fact or item disclosed in any section of the Disclosure Schedules shall not be deemed, solely by reason of such inclusion, to be material.

6.1.1    Each of Seller and Existing Operator (collectively, the “Sale Participants”) is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its formation, and is duly licensed and qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the properties owned, leased or operated by it or the operation of its business as currently conducted makes such licensing or qualification necessary; and has the full and unrestricted entity power and authority to carry on its business as it is currently being conducted and to own, lease and operate its assets as and in the places they have been and now are owned, leased or operated, to execute this Agreement and each other agreement, contract, instrument, certificate or other document contemplated hereby or by the Transactions (including, 


18





without limitation, the MTA) (the “Transaction Documents”) to which it is a party or is otherwise bound (and, in the case of Seller, to sell and convey the Property), and has taken all corporate, partnership, limited liability company or equivalent entity actions and obtained all organizational approvals required for the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party or is otherwise bound, and the consummation of the Transactions. Each Sale Participant’s execution, delivery and compliance with or fulfillment of the terms and conditions hereof and of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party or is otherwise bound will not (i) conflict with or result in any breach of the provisions of, or constitute a default under the articles of incorporation, bylaws, articles of organization, operating agreement, partnership agreement or other governing organizational or charter documents, as the case may be, of such Sale Participant, (ii) conflict with, or result in a breach of, the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract or instrument to which such Sale Participant is a party or by which such Sale Participant or its assets is or are otherwise bound, or result in the termination of any such contract or instrument or termination of any provisions or rights in respect of any of the Property, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon the Property, (iii) result in a violation or breach, in any material respect, of any legal requirement applicable to such Sale Participant or by which such Sale Participant or its assets is or are otherwise bound, (iv) create any liens or other encumbrances on the Property, (v) result in the breach or violation of any of the warranties and representations made herein or in any other Transaction Document by or on behalf of such Sale Participant, or (vi) result in the loss of any rights, privileges, authorizations or benefits afforded or intended by any of the Property or the Permits.  This Agreement is, and the other Transaction Documents to which a Sale Participant is a party shall be, when executed and delivered thereby, a valid and binding agreement, enforceable against such Sale Participant in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and equitable principles and except that equitable remedies may be granted only in the discretion of a court of competent jurisdiction. 


6.1.2    Seller is not a “foreign person,” as that term is used and defined in the Internal Revenue Code, Section 1445, as amended.


6.1.3    Other than as described on Schedule 6.1.3, there are no actions, claims, proceedings, litigation or governmental investigations or condemnation actions or other legal or administrative proceedings, or any orders, decrees or judgments in progress, pending or in effect, or to Seller’s Knowledge or Existing Operator Knowledge, threatened against any Sale Participant, the Facilities or the Property or against or relating to the Transactions, which if decided adversely, would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the Facilities or the Property or any Sale Participant’s ownership, operation or management thereof, or the Transactions (including the consummation thereof pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents). 


6.1.4    Exhibit L (the “Property Contracts List”) sets forth a true and correct list, as of the Effective Date, of all outstanding contracts, leases or other agreements, whether written or oral, to which any Sale Participant is a party and relating to the Property or the ownership, operation or management of the Facilities, excluding (i) the Residency Agreements, (ii) any contract, lease or other agreement which is cancellable without penalty on thirty (30) days or less notice, (iii) any contract, lease or other agreement which is entered into in the

9.4    Limitations on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement: 


9.4.1    Other than claims in respect of a breach of or inaccuracy in a Fundamental Representation, (i) in no event shall Seller or Existing Operator be liable, or required to make any payment pursuant to Section 9.2(i), for any Seller Indemnifiable Damages suffered by any of the Purchaser Indemnified Persons (a) for any De Minimis Claims, and (b) unless and until the aggregate dollar amount of all such Seller Indemnifiable Damages (together with all damages indemnifiable pursuant to Section 9.2(i) of the Separate PSA, as well as any De Minimis Claims) exceeds Five Hundred Eighty Five Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($585,000.00) (such amount, the “Basket Amount”), and then only to the extent of such excess and (ii) the maximum aggregate liability of Seller and Existing Operator in respect of all claims or rights of action against Seller and/or Existing Operator arising under or pursuant to Section 9.2(i) of this Agreement (together with all damages indemnifiable pursuant to Section 9.2(i) of the Separate PSA) shall be limited to, and not exceed, Six Million and no/100 Dollars ($6,000,000.00) (the “Liability Cap”).

9.5    Indemnification Procedures.  The party or parties making a claim for indemnification under this Article IX shall be, for purposes of this Agreement, referred to as the “Indemnified Person” and the party or the parties against whom such claims are asserted under this Article IX shall be, for purposes of this Agreement, referred to as the “Indemnifying Person.” All claims by any Indemnified Person under this Article IX for Third Party Claims shall be asserted and resolved as follows:




44





9.5.1    In the event of any claim, demand, suit, action, arbitration, investigation, inquiry or proceeding brought by a third party against any Indemnified Person which is covered by the indemnification provisions of this Article IX (in each such case, a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Person shall promptly cause written notice of the assertion of such Third Party Claim to be forwarded to the Indemnifying Person (a “Notice of Third Party Claim”). The failure of the Indemnified Person to deliver promptly to the Indemnifying Person a Notice of Third Party Claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the Indemnifying Person’s obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Subject to Section 9.5.2, the Indemnifying Person on behalf of the Indemnified Person shall have the right to elect to assume control of the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person. The costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Person in connection with such defense (including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, other professionals’ and experts’ fees and court or arbitration costs) shall be paid by the Indemnifying Person (subject to the Basket Amount and Liability Cap, as applicable). In the event of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person as to any matter for which indemnification is required hereunder,  the Indemnified Person may engage counsel of its own choice to participate in such defense (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party) and at the expense of the Indemnifying Person (which expense shall be subject to the Basket Amount and the Liability Cap, as applicable), in the defense of any Third Party Claim.


9.5.2    With respect to the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall not be entitled to continue control of such defense and shall pay the costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with such defense if the Indemnifying Person fails to assume control of the defense or materially fails to defend such claim.


9.5.3    If the Indemnifying Person has the right to and does elect to defend any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall: (i) conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim actively and diligently and keep the Indemnified Person reasonably informed of material developments in the Third Party Claim at all stages thereof and (ii) to the extent practicable, permit the Indemnified Person and its counsel to confer with the Indemnifying Person regarding the conduct of the defense thereof. Purchaser, Seller and Existing Operator will make available to each other and each other’s counsel and accountants, without charge, all of their and their Affiliates’ books and records relating or responsive to the Third Party Claim, and each party (at its own expense) will render to the other party such assistance as may be reasonably required  in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by the other party in connection therewith; provided, however, the Indemnified Person shall not have an obligation to disclose any information or documents, that are proprietary, subject to confidentiality restrictions (unless the recipient of such information signs a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to the disclosing Indemnified Person), or privileged (including pursuant to any attorney-client privilege).  The Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person shall render, and shall cause their respective employees to render, to each other, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Person (with costs and expenses being subject to the Liability Cap) such other assistance and cooperation as may reasonably be required to ensure the proper and adequate defense of such claim or demand. 




45





9.5.4    If the Indemnifying Person has the right to and does elect to defend any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall have the right to enter into any settlement of a Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnified Person provided that (i) no amount in excess of the Basket Amount (if applicable) is payable by such Indemnified Person in connection with such settlement, (ii) such settlement does not involve any injunctive or other equitable relief or the contractual equivalent thereof binding upon such Indemnified Person, and (iii) such settlement expressly and unconditionally releases such Indemnified Person from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such claim, with prejudice; provided, further, that no settlement by the Indemnifying Person of a Third Party Claim shall limit or reduce the right of the Indemnified Person to indemnity hereunder for all Damages they may incur arising out of or resulting from the Third Party Claim to the extent such Indemnified Person is otherwise entitled to be indemnified pursuant to this Article IX.


9.5.5    Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IX, if an Indemnified Person wishes to make an indemnification claim under this Article IX that is not a Third Party Claim, such Indemnified Person shall deliver a written notice (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”) to the Indemnifying Person (i) stating that an Indemnified Person has paid, incurred, suffered or sustained, or reasonably anticipates that it may pay, incur, suffer or sustain Damages, and (ii) specifying in reasonable detail (to the extent then known) any Damages and the basis upon which indemnification is sought hereunder. The Indemnified Person may update an Indemnification Claim Notice from time to time to reflect any new information discovered with respect to the claim set forth in such Indemnification Claim Notice.  Except to the extent confidential or subject to any privilege protection or other disclosure restriction, following the delivery of an Indemnification Claim Notice, the Indemnified Person shall provide the Indemnifying Person and its representatives and agents with such documents and records as they may reasonably require, and reasonable access to such personnel or representatives (including but not limited to the individuals responsible for the matters that are subject of the Indemnification Claim Notice) as they may reasonably require, for the purposes of investigating or resolving any disputes or responding to any matters or inquiries raised in the Indemnification Claim Notice.


9.5.6    If no Indemnifying Person shall object in writing within the 30-day period after receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice by delivery of a written notice of objection containing a reasonably detailed description of the facts and circumstances supporting an objection to the applicable indemnification claim (an “Indemnification Claim Objection Notice”), such failure to so object shall be an irrevocable acknowledgment by the Indemnifying Parties that the Indemnified Person is entitled to the full amount of the claim for Damages set forth in such Indemnification Claim Notice. In the event such indemnification claim arises under Section 9.2 hereof or of any Separate PSA, Purchaser, Seller and Existing Operator shall promptly, but in any event within five (5) days of the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, deliver joint instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing Escrow Agent to promptly release from the Indemnity Escrow to the Purchaser Indemnified Person an amount equal to the Damages set forth in such Indemnification Claim Notice. For any such indemnification claim that is not to be recovered from the Indemnity Escrow, or if the amount held in the Indemnity Escrow, if any, is insufficient to satisfy in whole the amount owed to a Purchaser Indemnified Person in accordance with this Agreement, then the Indemnifying Person shall, promptly, but in any event 


46





within five (5) days of the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, pay to the Indemnified Person the amount of such shortfall in cash.


9.5.7    In the event that an Indemnifying Person shall deliver an Indemnification Claim Objection Notice in accordance with Section 9.5.6 within thirty (30) days after delivery of such Indemnification Claim Notice, such Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall attempt to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If such Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person should so agree, and the indemnification claim arises under Section 9.2 hereof or any Separate PSA, Purchaser, Seller and Existing Operator shall promptly, but in any event within five (5) days of such agreement, deliver joint instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing Escrow Agent to promptly release from the Indemnity Escrow to the Purchaser Indemnified Person an amount equal to the Damages that the parties have agreed are due to such Indemnified Person pursuant to such indemnification claim.  For any such indemnification claim that is not to be recovered from the Indemnity Escrow, or if the amount held in the Indemnity Escrow, if any, is insufficient to satisfy in whole the amount owed to a Purchaser Indemnified Person in accordance with this Agreement, then the Indemnifying Person shall, promptly, but in any event within five (5) days after the date of such agreement, pay to the Indemnified Person the amount of such shortfall in cash.


9.5.8    If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation during the thirty (30) day period after delivery of an Indemnification Claim Objection Notice or if one party determines at any time during such thirty (30) day period that such negotiations are unlikely to result in any such agreement, the indemnification claim shall be resolved pursuant a suit, action or other proceeding brought in accordance with Section 12.7.


9.5.9    In respect of any Damages for which indemnification may be sought pursuant to this Article IX, in calculating amounts payable to an Indemnified Person, the amount of any Indemnified Damages shall be determined net of (i) any tax benefit actually realized by such Indemnified Person on account of such Damages, (ii) payments recovered by such Indemnified Person under any insurance policy with respect to such Damages (net of costs of collection), and (iii) any net prior recovery by such Indemnified Person from any third party with respect to such Damages.


9.5.10    In respect of any Damages for which indemnification may be sought pursuant to this Article IX, the Indemnified Person shall (and shall cause its Affiliates to) (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue all legal rights and remedies available in order to minimize the Damages to which it may be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement except to the extent that the Indemnified Person believes that the taking of such action would have material and adverse consequences for the Indemnified Person, and (b) select the lowest cost remedy available consistent with good business practice.
