Inc. (such instrument, as amended from time to time, is herein referred to as

4


evidencing
or securing the Brighton Note (except that interest owing under the Brighton
Note shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser at the Closing and provided
that, for purposes of the Deed and any other applicable provisions of this
Agreement, such Brighton Indebtedness shall not be treated as borrowed
indebtedness of Seller).  In connection with the defeasance as
aforesaid, Purchaser shall, at its expense, (1) arrange for and implement,
through a defeasance consultant selected by Purchaser and reasonably acceptable
to Seller (and Seller agrees that the Holder’s servicer (Wachovia) and Chatham
Financial are acceptable to it), a defeasance of such Holder’s liens upon the
Property in accordance with the requirements of the Brighton Note and the other
loan documents evidencing and securing the Brighton Indebtedness and (2) use
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Holder’s consent to (A) the
assumption of the Brighton Indebtedness by a successor borrower, which successor
borrower shall, except as otherwise required by the Holder, be an entity created
and wholly owned by such defeasance consultant, simultaneously with (or, if that
is not possible, immediately following, or, if that is not possible, as soon as
possible after) such defeasance and, if such consent is granted, implement such
loan assumption (and obtain Seller’s release from the Brighton Indebtedness as
permitted under the Brighton Note) as provided in Section 3.6 of the
Brighton Note, and (B) if required, the termination of the Brighton Lease as of
the Closing Date.  Without limitation of the foregoing, Purchaser
shall, at its expense, arrange for and cause to be delivered to the Holder all
notices, opinion letters and “Defeasance Deposit” (as defined in the Brighton
Note) that are required in connection with such defeasance, such possible loan
assumption and release of Seller and such lease termination consent, which
Seller acknowledges it may be obligated to deliver.  Seller shall, at
Purchaser’s expense, cooperate with Purchaser and the Holder in connection with
such defeasance, such possible loan assumption and release of Seller and such
lease termination consent, including, without limitation, delivery of any
materials or documents, or the taking of any actions, required in connection
with such defeasance, such possible loan assumption and release of Seller and/or
such lease termination consent, which Holder will not permit Purchaser to
deliver or take, except that in all events Purchaser shall be responsible for
the deposit of the aforesaid “Defeasance Deposit”, which deposit Purchaser
agrees to make into escrow before Seller is required by the Holder or its agent
to commit to make such “Defeasance Deposit” (which commitment the parties
understand is usually required two (2) business days in advance of the expected
defeasance date).  Purchaser shall be obligated to obtain, at its
expense but with Seller’s cooperation, and on or prior to the Closing Date, the
consent of the Holder to the aforesaid defeasance (including, without
limitation, the aforesaid defeasance of the Holder’s liens upon the
Property).  In the event this Agreement is terminated, Purchaser shall
nevertheless remain liable for the timely payment of any amounts that may be
owing to the Holder on account of the possible transactions involving the Holder
which are referenced in this subsection (f).  Relative to the
foregoing, Purchaser further agrees that, in the event the sum of (i) the amount
of the aforesaid “Defeasance Deposit”, plus (ii) the out of pocket costs and
fees incurred by Purchaser in implementing the above-referenced defeasance and,
if applicable, loan assumption and release of Seller, and minus (iii) the
present value of any amount that is anticipated to be returned to Purchaser or
its nominee at the maturity of the Brighton Indebtedness as reasonably estimated
by Seller and Purchaser using a discount rate of 6% per annum, is less than
$1,000,000.00, then, at the Closing, Purchaser shall, in addition to the
Purchase Price, pay to Seller an amount equal to one-half (1/2) of the excess of
$1,000,000.00 over such sum referenced in subsections (i), (ii) and (iii)
above.




(g)  Further
Assurances.  Seller and Purchaser shall, from time to time
after Closing, upon request, execute such additional documents as are reasonably
necessary to convey,




5


assign
and transfer the Property pursuant to this Agreement and otherwise complete the
Transactions contemplated by this Agreement, provided that such documents are
consistent with the terms of this Agreement, and do not increase Seller’s or
Purchaser’s obligations hereunder or subject Seller or Purchaser to additional
liability not otherwise contemplated by this Agreement.  Additionally,
if this Agreement is terminated, either party may request from time to time
thereafter confirmation of such termination from the other party, upon which
request, the non-requesting party shall promptly confirm to the requesting party
in writing (by a recordable instrument if requested by the requesting party)
that this Agreement has been terminated.




7.  Prorations
and Adjustments.  Purchaser and Seller hereby acknowledge and
agree that, except as provided in Section 6(f)
above relating to prorating interest under the Brighton Note and except with
respect to any tax escrows relating to the Property that are held by Seller
pursuant to the Brighton Lease for which Purchaser shall receive a credit
against the Purchase Price at Closing, there shall be no prorations or
adjustments at Closing to the Purchase Price.




8.  Closing
Costs.  Without limiting the terms of Section9(c), Purchaser shall be
responsible for the payment of (a) the fees and costs of Purchaser’s counsel and
investment advisors representing it in connection with the Transactions, (b) the
fees and expenses of Seller’s counsel representing it in connection with the
Transactions and incurred on or prior to the date of this Agreement, and (c) all
loan assumption fees, prepayment fees, premiums or penalties, attorneys’ fees
and other costs and expenses of any kind in connection with the loan assumption
(including, without limitation, the required defeasance of liens upon the
Property), and the consent of the Holder, referenced in Section 6(f) hereof, including, without limitation, any of the
same as may be owing to such Holder, and all recording fees, transfer taxes,
intangible taxes, documentary stamp taxes and title insurance costs payable in
connection with the Transactions.  At Seller’s request, Purchaser
shall pay upon demand the fees and expenses referenced in subsection (b) above
and pay at Closing the amounts referenced in subsection (c) above.

(h)  Governing
Law.  This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the
internal laws of the State where the Property is located without regard to the
laws regarding conflicts of laws.




(i)  Counterparts.  This
Agreement may be executed in any number of identical counterparts, any or all of
which may contain the signatures of less than all of the parties, and all of
which shall be construed together as a single instrument.




(j)  Construction.  Seller
and Purchaser agree that each party and its counsel have reviewed and approved
this Agreement, and that any rules of construction that provide that ambiguities
be resolved against the drafting party shall not be used in the interpretation
of this Agreement or any amendments or exhibits hereto.  The words
“include”, “including”, “includes” and any other derivation of “include” means
“including, but not limited to” unless specifically set forth to the contrary.
As used in this Agreement, the neuter shall include the feminine and masculine,
the singular shall include the plural, and the plural shall include the
singular, except where expressly provided to the contrary.  The words
“herein”, “hereof” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to
this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular Section, subsection or other
subdivision. Headings of sections herein are for convenience of reference only,
and shall not be construed as a part of this Agreement. Except to the extent
expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, references to “sections” or
“subsections” in this Agreement shall refer to sections and subsections of this
Agreement, and references to “exhibits” in this Agreement shall mean exhibits
attached to this Agreement.




(k)  No
Recording.  Unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the
parties, neither Purchaser nor Seller shall record this Agreement or any
memorandum  or other evidence thereof in any public records, and shall
not cause or permit any other person to, record this Agreement or any memorandum
or other evidence thereof in any public records.  If Purchaser
violates the terms of this Section 13(k), then, upon Seller’s
election, this Agreement shall be deemed ipso facto terminated
on account of Purchaser’s default.  If Seller violates the terms of
this Section 13(k), then, upon
Purchaser’s election, this Agreement shall be deemed ipso facto terminated on
account of Seller’s default.  Relative to the foregoing, each party
agrees, at the written request of the other party, to execute a memorandum of
this Agreement which consists in substance only of (i) a written notice for the
public records of Seller’s agreement to sell, and Purchaser’s agreement to
purchase, the Property and none of the other terms of this Agreement and (ii) an
express agreement by Seller and Purchaser that such memorandum shall,
automatically and without further action of the parties, expire and be of no
further force or effect




11


as of
February 28, 2009, and, upon the execution of such a memorandum by the
parties, either party may, at its expense and prior to February 28, 2009,
record the same.




(l)  Obligations Joint and
Several.  Purchaser acknowledges that, if there is more than
one Purchaser, each entity constituting Purchaser shall be jointly and severally
liable for any and all obligations of Purchaser hereunder or under any
instrument executed by Purchaser pursuant hereto.




(m)  Public
Announcement.  Seller and Purchaser agree to cooperate with
each other to make joint and/or coordinated public announcements disclosing this
Agreement and the Transactions contemplated hereby.




(n)  Form of
Payment.  All amounts required to be paid by Purchaser to, or
as directed by, Seller pursuant to the terms hereof shall, unless otherwise
directed by Seller in writing, be paid by federally insured wire transfer of
immediately available funds.  Payments required by the terms hereof to
be made on a particular date shall be deemed to have been timely made if Seller
(or any alternate payee designated by Seller) receives such payment in the
account specified in the wire transfer instructions, to be provided to Purchaser
by Seller, not later than 2:00 p.m. Chicago time on the date specified for such
payment.




(o)  1031
Exchange.  Purchaser recognizes and understands that this
transaction may be part of a contemplated “like kind” exchange for Seller under
§1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Exchange”).  As
such, Purchaser agrees to cooperate with Seller in effectuating the Exchange,
which cooperation may include the execution of documents and the taking of other
reasonable action, as is necessary in the opinion of Seller, to accomplish the
Exchange; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be required to assume any
additional expense or liability in connection with, or as part of its
cooperation with, the Exchange.  Purchaser specifically consents to
Seller's assignment of its rights (but not its obligations) under this Agreement
to a qualified intermediary (as defined in Treas. Regs. 1.1031(k)-1(g)(4)) in
connection with a possible Exchange. The covenant contained in this Section 13(o) shall survive the
Closing and shall not be merged into any instrument of conveyance delivered at
Closing.




(p)  Due Diligence
Materials.  Upon Purchaser’s request, and to the extent in
Seller’s possession or control, Seller shall promptly provide Purchaser with
copies of any title policies, underlying title documents, surveys, environmental
reports and other reports related to the physical condition of the
Property.  Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Seller makes no
representation or warranty regarding the accuracy of the matters referenced in
any such documents and other reports.




(q)  Joinder.  Ventas
Realty, Limited Partnership agrees to cause Ventas Brighton, LLC to execute and
deliver the Joinder attached hereto and, for purposes of this Agreement,
references to “Seller” shall refer, individually and collectively, to Ventas
Realty, Limited Partnership and Ventas Brighton, LLC.

BEFORE
ME, the undersigned authority, personally appeared T. Richard Riney, who being

            That

            That,
      according to, and based solely upon, a title insurance policy or policies
      previously issued to the Company by First American Title Insurance
      Company, the Company owns the property described in the commitments
      described on "Schedule A" attached hereto (collectively, the

5.
            That,

      commitment and the earlier of _____ or the recording of the interest of
      the purchaser, lender or lessee, and that, during such period, the Company
      has not and will not  by its actions create or suffer to exist
      any lien or encumbrance against the above described property (not
      including any of the same created or suffered to exist due to the actions
      of the Company’s tenants, _________________________, or persons or
      entities claiming through them) or execute any instrument that would
      adversely affect the title or interest to be insured other than
      instruments to effectuate the closings in connection with which this
      Affidavit is given.

            That
