The legal description of the Real Property to be contained in the Deed shall be the same legal description as is attached hereto in the applicable subsection of Schedule 1.1(c).  In the event the legal description as disclosed by the Survey, as defined in Section 5.4(a), differs from the legal description in the applicable subsection of Schedule 1.1(c), or the Initial Commitment reveals any errors or omissions in the legal descriptions, then Seller shall also provide a quitclaim deed utilizing such Survey legal description.  
(a)    Purchaser shall promptly order, at Purchaser’s expense, from Stewart Title Guaranty Company, or another national title insurer reasonably acceptable to Seller (“Title Company”), an ALTA Form 2006 Commitment (or such other form as is acceptable to Purchaser), with such endorsements as Purchaser shall reasonably require and with insurance coverage over any “gap” period (the “Initial Commitment”) for an owner’s title insurance policy (the “Title Policy”) in an amount not less than the Purchase Price allocated to the Real Property evidencing that Seller is vested with fee simple title to the Real Property, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, exceptions or qualifications whatsoever save and except for as set forth below.  The Initial Commitment shall also evidence that upon the satisfaction of all requirements specified in Schedule B, Section 1 of the Initial Commitment, Purchaser shall acquire fee simple title to the Real Property, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.
(b)      Purchaser, at Purchaser’s expense, may order an update to the survey of the Real Property (the “Survey”) previously provided to Purchaser and Seller hereby grants Purchaser and Purchaser’s agents the right to access the Real Property as may be reasonably required to perform such work. The Survey shall be prepared by a land surveyor duly licensed and registered as such in the state the Real Property is located, (i) shall be certified by such surveyor to Purchaser, Seller, each parties’ legal counsel and the Title Company, (ii) shall reference the Initial Commitment file number, (iii) shall set forth the legal description of the Real Property precisely as it appears in the Initial Commitment (or the Initial Commitment must be endorsed so that the insured legal description mirrors the legal description in the Survey, if applicable), (iv) shall identify whether or not each matter referenced in the Initial Commitment applies to the Real Property, (v) shall depict the boundaries of each such item that is capable of being depicted on the Survey, (v) shall depict any Improvements located upon the Real Property, (vi) shall show all easements, rights-of-way, setback lines, encroachments and other matters affecting the use or development of the Real Property (vii) shall include the original signature and seal of the surveyor, and (viii) shall be in a form satisfactory to the Title Company to eliminate the standard survey exceptions from the title insurance policy to be issued at Closing. 
(c)    If the Initial Commitment or Survey discloses any claims, liens, exceptions, encumbrances or conditions that are not acceptable to Purchaser in its sole discretion, excepting the Permitted Exceptions, as hereinafter defined (“Defects”), then Purchaser shall deliver a Title Objection Notice to Seller (i) at least five (5) business days prior to expiration of the Due Diligence Period with respect to objections based upon the Initial Commitment, and (ii) a separate Title Objection Notice applicable to the Survey within ten (10) business days after receipt of the Survey specifying the Defects.  Any such Defects shall be cured and removed by Seller from the Initial Commitment and Survey, at Seller’s sole cost and expense and prior to Closing, in accordance with this Section 2.4.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Seller shall not be obligated to expend amounts greater than the net Purchase Price to cure any such Defects or Liquidated Items (as defined below).
(d)    Subject to the provisions of Subsection (c) above, Seller shall cure and remove the following Defects (collectively, the “Liquidated Items”), whether described in the Initial Commitment, or first arising or first disclosed by the Title Company (or otherwise) to Purchaser after the effective date of the Initial Commitment, and whether or not raised in a Title Objection Notice (as hereinafter defined): (a) liens securing a mortgage, deed of trust or trust deed; (b) any lien, encumbrance, covenant, easement or restriction arising as a result of, due to, or because of, any willful or intentional act or omission of any or all of Seller or any Current Managers, which act or omission occurs after the earlier of (i) the effective date of the Initial Commitment and (ii) the Effective Date; (c) judgment liens affecting the Real Property; (d) tax liens or real estate taxes that are due and payable; (e) broker’s liens; (f) any mechanics liens affecting the Real Property; and (g) any notice of violation posted by a health department or any other governmental or quasi-governmental authorities.  Prior to Closing, such Liquidated Items shall be cured and removed  (by endorsement or otherwise in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser) from the Initial Commitment by Seller.  If, prior to Closing, Seller fails to so cure and remove all Liquidated Items, then Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, elect to (i) proceed to Closing with title to the Real Property as it then is, with the right to deduct from the Purchase Price a sum equal to the aggregate amount necessary to cure and remove the Liquidated Items that Seller has failed to cure and remove, or (ii) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for Purchaser’s actual third party out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with this Agreement but not in excess of $50,000.
(e)    Purchaser may deliver one or more notices (each a “Title Objection Notice”) during the Due Diligence Period to Seller specifying any lien, claim, encumbrance, restriction, covenant, condition, exception to title or any other matter not a Permitted Exception and that renders title unacceptable to Purchaser (“Other Defects”) and: (i) that is evidenced by the Initial Commitment, or (ii) that first arises, or is first disclosed to Purchaser, subsequent to the delivery of the Initial Commitment.  Seller shall advise Purchaser in writing (“Seller’s Cure Notice”) within five (5) business days after Purchaser delivers any Title Objection Notice, which (if any) of the Other Defects specified in the applicable Title Objection Notice Seller is willing to cure (the “Seller’s Cure Items”).  If Seller delivers a Seller’s Cure Notice identifying any Seller’s Cure Items, Seller shall cure and remove (by endorsement or otherwise in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser) the Seller’s Cure Items prior to the Closing.  In the event that Seller delivers a Seller’s Cure Notice identifying any Seller’s Cure Items, but Seller then fails to cure and remove (by endorsement or otherwise in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser) such Seller’s Cure Items prior to Closing, Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, elect to (a) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller on or prior to the Closing, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for Purchaser’s actual third party out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with this Agreement but not in excess of $50,000; or (b) elect to proceed to Closing with title to the Real Property as it then is, with the right to deduct from the Purchase Price a sum equal to the total amount necessary to cure and remove (by endorsement or otherwise in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser) the Seller’s Cure Items.  In the event that Seller fails to timely deliver a Seller’s Cure Notice, or in the event that a Seller’s Cure Notice does not include all of the Other Defects specified in a Title Objection Notice as Seller’s Cure Items, then Purchaser may, in its sole discretion and by delivering written notice to Seller or on prior to Closing, (A) terminate this Agreement in which event the provisions of Article 9 governing a permitted termination by Purchaser shall apply; or (B) proceed to Closing, accepting title to the Real Property subject to those Other Defects not included as Seller’s Cure Items in Seller’s Cure Notice.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term, “Permitted Exceptions,” shall mean both (i) all liens, claims, encumbrances, restrictions, covenants, conditions, matters or exceptions to title (other than Liquidated Items) that are set forth in the Initial Commitment, but not objected to by Purchaser in a Title Objection Notice; (ii) any Other Defects to which Purchaser objects by delivery of a Title Objection Notice, but Seller does not timely elect to convert such Other Defects to Seller’s Cure Items, and Purchaser nevertheless elects to accept by proceeding to close pursuant to (B) above.
(f)    Except as set forth on Schedule 2.4(f), Seller has not granted any license, lease, easement or other right relating to the use or possession of the Real Property except (i) the Wellington Hall Management Agreement and the Wellington Court Management Agreement, (ii) under the Residency Agreements existing as of the Effective Date and entered into by Seller in the ordinary course of business in accordance with Section 4.2 hereof; or (iii) as may be set forth in the Initial Commitment, and Seller agrees that, other than as expressly permitted by Section 4.2 hereof, it shall not grant any such right prior to Closing without the prior written approval of Purchaser, which may be withheld in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion.  
Section 2.5    Assumed Liabilities. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date, Purchaser shall assume and agrees to pay, perform or discharge only the Assumed Liabilities.  Other than the Assumed Liabilities, Purchaser shall not assume any of Seller’s debts, obligations or liabilities, of any kind or nature, including without limitation any civil claims or other legal proceedings or legal or regulatory investigations or actions arising out of or during Seller’s ownership, use, operation or management of the Business or any of the Purchased Property or the Excluded Property, all of which Seller shall pay, perform and discharge when due.  Nothing in this Section 2.4(a) shall be deemed to preclude either party from contesting any liability or obligation in good faith through the appropriate process.
Section 2.6    Excluded Liabilities. All of Seller’s debts, obligations and liabilities, other than the Assumed Liabilities, including any liability, obligation, claim, action, suit, or proceeding pending as of the Closing Date, or any subsequent claim, action, suit, or proceeding arising out of or relating to any such other event occurring prior to the Closing, with respect to the ownership or operation of its businesses prior to the Closing Date, including, without limitation, any obligation of Seller for compliance with applicable federal, state, county, and local tax laws or regulations, including the obligations under such laws for the payment of taxes and the filing of tax returns, under Part 6 of Title I of ERISA and Section 4980B of the IRC, as amended (commonly known as “COBRA”), the Seller Plans, the Fair Labor Standards Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Americans With Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, or state worker’s compensation and unemployment compensation laws, as now or hereafter amended, and any liabilities related to any overpayment (regardless of reason for such overpayment), adjustment of payments received or non-compliance under any Government Program, are collectively referred to herein as the “Excluded Liabilities;” provided, however, that actions commenced following the Closing under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, 42 U.S.C. §§ 12101 et. seq. or similar state law seeking remedial action with regard to the Purchased Property, shall not be deemed an Excluded Liability and Seller shall have no liability with respect to any such action.
ARTICLE 3     
PURCHASE PRICE; PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE; ALLOCATION
Section 3.1    Purchase Price and Deposit.  
(x)    Purchase Price. Subject to any adjustments and prorations expressly provided for in this Agreement, including those described in Section 3.3 and Section 4.4 (collectively, “Adjustments”), the purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the Purchased Property shall be a total of Ninety-Five Million and No/100 U.S. Dollars ($95,000,000.00).
(y)    Deposit.  The parties acknowledge that within three (3) business days after the Effective Date, if the Closing has not occurred and this Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with its terms, , Purchaser shall deliver to Stewart Title Guaranty Company (or any other mutually acceptable escrowee) (the “Escrow Agent”) Two Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 U.S. Dollars ($2,500,000) (the “Deposit”).  The term “Deposit” shall mean the Deposit, if and when the Deposit is made, plus any additional amounts deposited hereunder.  The Escrow Agent shall hold the Deposit in an interest bearing account pursuant to an escrow agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.   
(z)    The Deposit shall be paid and returned to Purchaser upon the occurrence of the circumstances described in Section 2.4(d),  Section 2.4(e),  Section 5.6(b), Section 5.6(c), Section 5.6(e), Section 5.8, ARTICLE 9(a), ARTICLE 9(b), ARTICLE 9(d), ARTICLE 9(e), Section 10.11 and Section 10.12 in each instance, upon proper written demand of Purchaser to Seller and the Escrow Agent stating the reason for such termination and referencing the section of this Agreement providing Purchaser with the right to do so.  Upon receipt of such written demand by Seller, Seller and Purchaser shall direct the Escrow Agent, in writing, to pay and disburse the Deposit immediately to Purchaser (whereupon this Agreement shall terminate and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except as otherwise expressly provided herein). 
(aa)    The Deposit shall be paid to Seller: (i) at the Closing, should the Closing occur, in partial satisfaction of the Purchase Price as provided in Section 3.2(b) hereof; or (ii) as liquidated damages (and not as a penalty) under the circumstances described in Section 5.6(a).  In each such instance, Seller and Purchaser shall direct the Escrow Agent, in writing, to pay and disburse the Deposit immediately to Seller (whereupon this Agreement shall terminate and neither party shall have any further right or obligations hereunder, except as otherwise expressly provided herein). 
(bb)    Without limiting Purchaser’s other rights and remedies hereunder, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement for any reason or for no reason whatsoever during the Due Diligence Period and upon any such termination the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser.   
Section 3.2    Payment of Purchase Price.  The Purchase Price shall be paid by Purchaser, at Closing, as follows:
(j)    Ninety-Five Million and No/100 U.S. Dollars ($95,000,000.00) as adjusted for any prorations pursuant to Section 3.3 below, and credits and additions described in Section 3.2(b) below, shall be paid at Closing by wire transfer in accordance with wire instructions provided by Seller at least three (3) business days before Closing.
(k)    Purchaser shall receive a credit against payment of the Purchase Price by the amount of (i) the Deposit, (ii) the accrued vacation and sick pay amounts included in the Assumed Liabilities, and (iii) unless otherwise paid by Seller, the amounts to be paid by Seller under  Section 4.6(b) of this Agreement.  If, at Purchaser’s request, Seller leaves any of Seller’s security deposits or utility deposits in place following Closing, then the amount of any such security deposit or utility deposit shall be added to the Purchase Price and paid to Seller pursuant to Section 3.2(a). 
(l)    Purchaser shall deposit the Holdback Amount into an interest-bearing escrow account with the Escrow Agent pursuant to an Escrow Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Post-Closing Escrow Agreement”).  The funds held pursuant to the Post-Closing Escrow Agreement shall be available according to the terms of the Post-Closing Escrow Agreement to secure any obligations of Seller to Purchaser hereunder, including without limitation Seller’s obligations pursuant to Section 3.3(d) and Section 8.1 hereof.  The Holdback Amount shall be held in accordance with the terms of the Post-Closing Escrow Agreement and shall be released to Seller as follows: (i) providing no claims exist against Seller or any Current Managers, fifty percent (50%) of the Holdback, less any amounts claimed by Purchaser prior to such distribution date, will be released at the end of the first year following the Closing Date; and (ii) the remaining Holdback will be released at the end of the eighteenth (18th) calendar month following the Closing Date, less any amounts claimed by Purchaser prior to such distribution date, or until all claims under the Post-Closing Escrow Agreement are finally adjudicated.
(m)    Purchaser shall assume the Assumed Liabilities.
(n)    The parties acknowledge that the transactions contemplated hereunder must be reported in accordance with Section 1060 of the IRC.  The parties shall report the transactions contemplated hereunder for all purposes in accordance with the Purchase Price allocation set forth on Schedule 3.3 hereto, which will be mutually determined prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period.  The parties shall share information and cooperate to the extent necessary to permit the transactions to be properly, timely, and consistently reported. 
Section 3.3    Prorations.  
(g)    The following items shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as of 11:59 p.m. on the date immediately preceding the Closing Date; prorations credited to Purchaser shall reduce the Purchase Price and prorations credited to Seller shall increase the Purchase Price at Closing as follows:
(i)    city, state, and county ad valorem taxes for the year in which the Closing occurs based on the ad valorem tax bills for the Purchased Property, if then available for such year, or if not, then on the basis of the ad valorem tax bill for the Purchased Property for the immediately preceding year.  (If such proration is based on an ad valorem tax bill for the immediately preceding year and should such proration prove to be inaccurate on receipt of the ad valorem tax bill for the Purchased Property for the year of Closing, then either Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, may demand at any time after Closing a payment from the other party in an amount sufficient to correct such malapportionment);
(ii)    sanitary sewer taxes and utility charges, if any; provided, however, that Purchaser may elect, prior to Closing, to require that the meters for all utility charges be read and terminated as of the end of the last business day preceding the Closing Date, in which case Seller shall be responsible for and shall pay for all such charges first accruing or relating to the period prior to the Closing Date; 
(iii)    all payment obligations under the Assumed Contracts and Leases;  and
(iv)    resident rents and other revenues (including Prepaids and Deposits, if any).
Purchaser and Seller shall prepare a proposed schedule (the “Proration Schedule”) prior to Closing, including the items listed above and any other items the parties determine necessary.  Such Proration Schedule shall include all applicable income and expenses with regard to the Purchased Property.  Seller and Purchaser will use all reasonable efforts to finalize and agree upon the Proration Schedule at least two (2) business days prior to Closing.  
(h)    Seller shall receive all income from the Purchased Property attributable to the period prior to the Proration Date (as herein defined) and shall, unless otherwise provided for in this Agreement, be responsible for all expenses of the Purchased Property attributable to the period prior to 11:59 P.M. on the date immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Proration Date”).  In the event Purchaser receives any payment from a resident for rent due for any period prior to the Proration Date or payment of any other receivable of Seller, Purchaser shall forward such payment to Seller.  Payments received from a resident shall be allocated first to any current balances due from such resident.  
(i)    Purchaser shall receive all income from the Purchased Property attributable to the period from and after the Proration Date and shall, except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, be responsible for all expenses of the Purchased Property attributable to the period from and after the Proration Date.  In the event Seller or Seller’s affiliates receive any payment from a resident for rent due for any period from and after the Proration Date, Seller shall forward such payment to Purchaser.  
(j)    The parties agree that any amounts that may become due under this Section 3.3 shall be paid at Closing as can best be determined.  A post-Closing reconciliation of prorated items shall be made by the parties within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date and any amounts due at that time shall be promptly forwarded to the respective party to whom such amounts are due in a lump sum payment.  Any additional amounts which may become due after such determination shall be forwarded at the time they are received.  Any amounts due under this Section 3.3  which cannot be determined within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date (such as, for example, fiscal year-end real estate taxes and the Pre-Closing Seller Medicare Receivables) shall be reconciled as soon thereafter as such amounts can be determined.  Purchaser and Seller agree that each shall have the right to audit the records of the other in connection with any such post-Closing reconciliation.  Any payments made pursuant to this Section 3.3  shall be treated as a purchase price adjustment for income tax purposes.
(k)    At Seller’s option, Seller may agree to allow Purchaser to assume any and all of Seller’s and/or Current Manager’s rights and interests in and to Seller’s and/or Current Manager’s Medicare provider number (“Seller’s Medicare Provider Number”) and Medicare provider reimbursement agreement with respect to the Facility (together, “Seller's Medicare Provider Agreement”).  Seller and/or the Current Managers agree to cooperate with Purchaser in the assignment of Seller’s Medicare Provider Agreement to Purchaser, including, without limitation, completing those portions of Form 855A which confirm the change of ownership of the Facility and the assignment by Seller of Seller's Medicare Provider Agreement to Purchaser providing to Purchaser or any government authority any information requested to effect the transfer of Seller's and/or the Current Manager’s Medicare provider number.  Purchaser expressly does not assume, and the assumption by Purchaser of the Seller's Medicare Provider Agreement shall not be construed to impose upon Purchaser, any liabilities under Seller’s Medicare Provider Agreement arising with respect to occurrences during the period before the Closing Date.  For the avoidance of doubt, all liabilities related to Seller’s Medicare Provider Agreement arising prior to Closing (and from and after Closing to the extent Purchaser does not assume Seller’s Medicare Provider Agreement) shall be deemed Excluded Liabilities for purposes of this Agreement.   In the event that Purchaser’s assumes Seller’s Medicare Provider Agreement:
(i)    all liabilities related to such Seller’s Medicare Provider Agreement Purchaser be deemed Assumed Liabilities for purposes of this Agreement; and
(ii)    Purchaser shall, for a period of one (1) year following Closing, provide Seller with a quarterly statement reflecting all Medicare payments received by Purchaser or the Third-Party Operator after Closing attributable to services provided by Seller prior to Closing (“Pre-Closing Seller Medicare Receivables”), and will remit payment of such Pre-Closing Seller Medicare Receivables on a timely basis.  
ARTICLE 4     
CERTAIN OTHER COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS
Section 4.1    Inspection and Due Diligence.
(o)    Prior to Closing, Purchaser (including its agents and representatives) shall be permitted to inspect the Facility and the Purchased Property.  The first forty (40) days following the Effective Date, ending at 5:00 P.M., Eastern time on the fortieth (40th) day following the Effective Date or, if such day is not a business day, on the next business day following such day, shall be known as the “Due Diligence Period” for purposes of this Agreement, but Purchaser shall be entitled to continue all such inspections during and after the Due Diligence Period. Such inspections may include an independent appraisal and environmental assessments (including Phase I assessments and Phase II assessments if Seller consents to any such Phase II assessment which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), impact study and detailed architectural and engineering inspections of buildings and mechanical systems located on the Real Property and any other inspections which may reasonably be required by potential lenders or investors. Purchaser shall not conduct any drilling, boring, soil testing or other physically intrusive inspections without Seller’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, if done in connection with any Phase II assessment.  Seller shall allow Purchaser and its authorized representatives reasonable access (subject to the rights of Residents), upon prior notice to the Executive Director , during normal business hours at such times as approved by the Executive Director and until the Closing to Seller’s executive personnel, properties and records, shall permit examination and testing, and shall furnish Purchaser and its authorized representatives such information concerning the Purchased Property and the Facility as Purchaser reasonably requests.  Purchaser and its authorized representatives shall have the right to review and copy all such books, accounts, records, agreements or other documents as it may reasonably deem advisable.  Seller shall, upon reasonable request by Purchaser, make available to Purchaser by electronic data room (to the extent any of the following are available electronically to upload to an electronic data room, provided that Seller shall not be required to upload to an electronic data room any of the following which is not available electronically) or otherwise, copies of all records, files, correspondence, invoices, resident lists, supplier lists, blueprints, specifications, designs, drawings, business records and plans, operating and financial data, environmental assessments, property reports, permits and regulatory files and other data associated with or used by Seller in connection with its operation of the Business or its ownership or operation of the Purchased Property, including without limitation all of the information requested on attached Schedule 4.1(a) to the extent Seller or the Current Managers have possession and control of such information, and in the form in which Seller maintains such information in the ordinary course of its business.  Seller shall have no obligation to prepare any summaries, abstracts, compilations or reports in connection with Purchaser’s investigation that Seller or the Current Managers do not maintain or compile in the ordinary course of Seller’s or the Current Managers’ business.  For purposes of this Agreement, documents or information shall be deemed to have been “made available” to Purchaser if copies have been delivered or viewed by Purchaser in tangible or electronic form, or if such documents or information have been made available at the Facility or on an internet or electronic data site to which Seller has granted Purchaser or its representatives access.  Purchaser shall notify Seller in advance of any site visits by Purchaser or its contractors or representatives.  All site visits and contacts with Seller personnel shall be coordinated through the Executive Director, Robert M. Peterson (phone number 484-653-1200, e-mail Rpete10703 [rpete10703@aol.com]), and Purchaser shall not contact any Seller personnel, residents or service providers directly.
(p)    Within five (5) business days of the Effective Date (the “Diligence Materials Due Date”), Seller shall provide Purchaser with (or make available to Purchaser) all of the materials in Seller’s or the Current Managers’ possession or reasonable control listed in Exhibit G of this Agreement (collectively, the “Requested Diligence Materials”).  In the event that Seller’s or the Current Managers’ delivery of any Requested Diligence Materials is delayed beyond the Diligence Materials Due Date, the Due Diligence Period shall be extended by the total number of days which elapse between the Diligence Materials Due Date and the date upon which all Requested Diligence Materials have actually been provided to Purchaser or Purchaser has been advised by Seller that such Diligence Materials are not available to Seller or the Current Managers’.
(q)     Reserved.
(r)    Purchaser shall pay all costs incurred for any such inspections of the Facility and the Purchased Property initiated by Purchaser.  Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all claims for death of or injury to persons or damage to property to the extent arising out of or as a result of the acts or omissions of Purchaser, Purchaser’s authorized representatives, or designees of Purchaser pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.1.  Purchaser, as well as its consultants and contractors, shall at Seller’s request provide evidence of sufficient insurance, in amounts and with providers reasonably acceptable to Seller, to protect Seller from any losses it might incur as a result of Purchaser’s activities incurred in connection with such inspections.
(s)    The parties hereto acknowledge that Seller may possess or have access to certain information subject to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and any regulations promulgated thereunder (“HIPAA”).  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Seller shall have no obligation under this Agreement to disclose to Purchaser any information which would violate or put Seller in a position of noncompliance with any city, county, state or federal privacy or security act, law, or regulation or the provisions of HIPAA or which would result in Seller breaching any contractual provisions imposed on Seller with respect to the requirements of HIPAA and/or any such city, county, state, or federal act, law or regulation.
(t)    Purchaser may perform or cause to be performed a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment of a portion of the Real Property (the “Phase I ESA”).  Purchaser shall provide Seller with a copy of the Phase I ESAs within five (5) business days of completion and receipt of each by Purchaser.  Any subsequent amendments thereto will also be provided to Seller within five (5) business days after completion and receipt by Purchaser thereof.
(u)    If the Phase I ESA, or any update thereof, reveals areas of environmental concern that, in Purchaser’s environmental consultant’s opinion, warrant further investigation, Purchaser may, at its discretion, request Seller’s consent to commence a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment of the applicable portion of the Real Property (“Phase II ESA”; collectively, the “ESAs”).  A Phase II ESA consists of further investigation of recognized environmental conditions identified in the Phase I ESA including sampling and analysis of soil and groundwater necessary to determine whether or not contamination has occurred.  Seller’s consent to conduct a Phase II ESA shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  If Seller permits Purchaser to conduct a Phase II ESA, Seller will be provided a copy of the Phase II ESA within five (5) business days of completion and receipt by Purchaser. Any subsequent amendments and/or reports relating to the Phase II ESA shall also be delivered to Seller and Purchaser.
(v)    The costs of the Phase I ESA and the costs of the Phase II ESA and any updates thereof shall be paid by Purchaser.  
(w)    The parties acknowledge that, although Purchaser intends to operate the Business subsequent to Closing through one or more of its affiliates and with the assistance of an entity engaged by Purchaser to manage the Facility (the “Post-Closing Manager”), Purchaser may also determine during the Due Diligence Period that it will lease all or a portion of the Business upon Closing to a third-party that is not affiliated with Purchaser and that has experience in operating facilities similar to the Facility and is in good standing in all jurisdictions in which it operates (a “Third-Party Operator”) and upon such determination of a Post-Closing Manager and/or a Third-Party Operator, Purchaser shall notify Seller of the names of each of them.  Accordingly, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent Purchaser determines during the Due Diligence Period that it will so lease all or a portion of the Business to a Third-Party Operator upon Closing, then upon notice to Seller, (i) Purchaser shall be entitled to assign at or prior to Closing all applicable provisions of this Agreement to such Third-Party Operator provided Purchaser retains liability for all obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement, and (ii) Purchaser’s obligation to Close shall be contingent upon, in addition to the provisions of Article 5 hereof, the Third-Party Operator’s (or, as applicable, its affiliate’s or assignee’s) receipt of all necessary governmental approvals and licenses necessary for the Third-Party Operator to operate the Business after using good faith efforts to receive such approvals and licenses. 
(x)    Within fourteen (14) days after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall file and/or cause the Post-Closing Manager and the Third Party Operator, as applicable, to file and diligently pursue all necessary applications to obtain all governmental licenses and permits required (i) for Purchaser to own the Facility, and (ii) for Purchaser, its Post-Closing Manager and/or Third-Party Operator to operate the Business as an independent living facility, personal care facility and skilled nursing facility in the same manner in which Seller is currently operating the Business. Seller shall, at no cost to Seller, provide reasonable cooperation to Purchaser and/or Third-Party Operator with respect to completion and pursuit of such licenses and permits.
Section 4.2    Conduct of Business Prior to the Closing Date.  Seller covenants and agrees with Purchaser that from the Effective Date hereof through the Closing Date, except as otherwise expressly contemplated in this Agreement, unless Purchaser otherwise consents in writing (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) Seller shall, and shall cause the Current Managers in their capacity as Current Managers of the Business to:
(l)    Use good faith efforts to operate the Business in all material respects as currently conducted, including (i) incurring expenses consistent with Seller’s past practices in the operation of the Business and (ii) using commercially reasonable efforts to preserve the Business’ present business operations, organization and goodwill and its relationships with customers, employees, advertisers, suppliers and other contractors.
(m)    Operate the Business and otherwise conduct business in all material respects in accordance with the terms or conditions of all applicable licenses and permits, all applicable rules and regulations of the relevant state where the Facility is located, and all other rules, regulations, laws, and orders of all governmental authorities having jurisdiction over any aspect of the operation of the Business and all applicable insurance requirements; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not impose on Seller any obligation to make unbudgeted capital improvements or repairs, or to incur any cost or expense in order to comply with any of the foregoing to the extent Seller was not in compliance as of the Effective Date, except to the extent Seller is ordered to do so by a governmental authority having jurisdiction over Seller.
(n)    Maintain the books, records, and financial statements for the Business consistent with past practices.
(o)    Timely comply in all material respects with the Assumed Contracts and Leases.
(p)    Not sell, lease, grant any rights in or to or otherwise dispose of or otherwise relinquish control of, or agree to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of, the Purchased Property in whole or in part except for dispositions of assets that are in the ordinary course of business, and if material, are replaced by similar assets of substantially equal or greater value and utility.
(q)    Take commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the Purchased Property in the same condition as it exists as of the Effective Date, except for ordinary wear and tear, in a manner consistent with past practices.
(r)    Not default on any loans to Seller which are not fully cured or satisfied at Closing.
(s)    Not enter into any contracts other than contracts which impose no obligation on Purchaser following the Closing or Residency Agreements in the ordinary course of business.
(t)    Not make any alterations or improvements to the Real Property or make any capital expenditure with respect to the Real Property in excess of $50,000 other than those that are currently budgeted for completion, or are required by law, necessary to preserve the coverage under or comply with the terms of any insurance policy with respect to the Business or are in Seller’s business judgment necessary to address emergency conditions or to maintain the goodwill and competitive standing of the Business.
(u)    Maintain normal levels of inventory and supplies on hand for the Business (including food, beverages, office and kitchen supplies), consistent with past practice.
(v)    Make available to Purchaser copies of all internally generated monthly financial reports.
(w)    Inform Purchaser promptly regarding the resignation, termination or hiring of the Executive Director or Assistant Director, if any, of the Facility.
Section 4.3    Notification of Certain Matters.  Seller shall give prompt written notice to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall give prompt written notice to Seller, to the extent either such party becomes aware of (i) the occurrence, or failure to occur, of any event that would be likely to cause any of their respective representations or warranties contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect at any time from the date hereof to the Closing Date, and (ii) any failure on their respective parts to comply with or satisfy, in any material respect, any covenant, condition, or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by any of them under this Agreement.
Section 4.4    Employees.
(a)    For purposes of this Section 4.4, all references to employment by an entity include both direct employment by such entity, employment by an affiliate of such entity, or employment through one or more employee leasing or similar arrangements that such entity or its affiliate has entered into with a third party and all references to Plans includes any such Plan provided directly by the applicable entity, by their respective affiliates, or by any such employee leasing company under an agreement with the above.
(b)    Seller and/or the Current Managers shall be responsible for complying with the continuation health care coverage requirements of COBRA with respect to any individual who became a “qualified beneficiary” as of or prior to the Closing Date, including as a result of this transaction.  
(c)    Seller and/or the Current Managers shall pay any severance costs payable with respect to the termination of employment by Seller or the Current Managers (as applicable) of any Employee, including Employees who are offered post-Closing employment at the Facility, pursuant to any severance policies or plans or required by law, including the WARN Act (if applicable).    Seller and/or the Current Managers shall be solely responsible for WARN Act compliance for all Employees.
(d)    As to any Employee that the Purchaser desires to hire (directly or through a third-party manager) for the Business post-Closing (collectively, “Hired Employees”), Seller and/or the Current Managers shall cause the release of such Hired Employee from any contractual provision with Seller to the extent that such provision would impair the utility of such Hired Employee’s services to the Facility in conducting the Business following the Closing in substantially the same manner it is conducted by Seller or the Current Managers immediately prior to the Closing Date, or to the extent that such provision would impose upon such Hired Employee any monetary or other obligation to Seller for violation of restrictive covenants or confidentiality provisions with respect to the Business (other than any such restrictive covenants or confidentiality provisions contained in Assumed Contracts and Leases being transferred to Purchaser or any such covenant mandating the return to Seller or the Current Managers of property not being transferred to Purchaser hereunder).

(b)    The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, at its own expense, to assume and control such defense with counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party and approved by the Indemnified Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in such defense after such assumption at the Indemnified Party’s own expense.  Upon assuming such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall have full rights to enter into any monetary compromise or settlement which is dispositive of the matters involved; provided that such settlement is paid in full by the Indemnifying Party and will not have any continuing material adverse effect upon the Indemnified Party.
(c)    With respect to any action, proceeding or claim as to which the Indemnifying Party shall not have exercised its right to assume the defense, the Indemnified Party may assume and control the defense of and contest such action, proceeding or claim with counsel chosen by it.  The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such action, the cost of such participation to be at its own expense.  The Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party to the extent that such fees and expenses relate to claims as to which indemnification is due under Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 hereof, as the case may be.  The Indemnified Party shall have full rights to dispose of such action and enter into any monetary compromise or settlement; provided, however, in the event that the Indemnified Party shall settle or compromise any claims involved in the action insofar as they relate to, or arise out of, the same facts as gave rise to any claim for which indemnification is due under Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 hereof, as the case may be, it shall act reasonably and in good faith in doing so.
(d)    Both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with one another in connection with the defense, compromise or settlement of any such claim, proceeding or action, including, without limitation, by making available to the other all pertinent information and witnesses within its control.
Section 8.5    General Qualifications on Indemnification.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the indemnification rights set forth in Section 8.1 and Section 8.2 shall be subject to the following:
(a)    The liability of an Indemnifying Party with respect to any indemnification claim shall be reduced by the amount of any tax benefit actually realized or any insurance proceeds received by Indemnified Party as a result of any damages, upon which such claim is based, and shall include any tax detriment actually suffered by the Indemnified Party as a result of such damages.  The amount of such tax benefit or detriment shall be determined by taking into account the effect, if any, and to the extent determinable, of timing differences resulting from the acceleration or deferral of items of gain or loss resulting from such damages.
(b)    Damages shall include actual damages and shall not include any special, punitive, multiplied or consequential damages, or lost profits, except to the extent the same are included in a third-party judgment against the Indemnified Party.
(c)    Upon payment in full of any indemnification claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to the rights of the Indemnified Party against any person or entity with respect to the subject matter of such indemnification claim.
(d)    An Indemnified Party may not recover for any losses otherwise indemnifiable under Section 8.1(a), Section 8.1(b), Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(b) if such Indemnified Party had actual (and not imputed) knowledge prior to Closing of the breach, inaccuracy or failure giving rise to such losses.  
(e)    An Indemnifying Party shall be relieved of its duty to indemnify an Indemnified Party hereunder if and to the extent the Indemnified Party fails to use commercially reasonable efforts in good faith to mitigate its damages, including, but not limited to, failure to give timely notice to its insurance carriers and to pursue recovery under applicable policies of insurance.
(f)    Any amounts due to Purchaser from Seller pursuant to this ARTICLE 8 shall be paid first from the Holdback Amount in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, until the Holdback Amount has been exhausted or released.
Section 8.6    Exclusivity.  Following the Closing, in the absence of actual fraud on the part of Seller (in which case Purchaser may avail itself of statutory and common law remedies for fraud), the right to receive indemnification under this ARTICLE 8 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Purchaser or Seller for monetary damages of any kind with respect to the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement (including any certificate certifying the truth or accuracy of any provision of this Agreement) or conduct otherwise relating to the negotiation and consummation of the purchase and sale of the Purchased Property and Business hereunder.   This provision shall not, however, be deemed to limit Purchaser’s remedies for any breach of this Agreement following the Closing, including without limitation any breach of Section 10.7 or Section 10.14 hereof. 
Section 8.7    Effective Upon Closing.  The provisions of this ARTICLE 8 shall become effective upon completion of the Closing, and shall have no force and effect prior to the Closing or if this Agreement is terminated prior to Closing.

The parties shall cooperate fully with each other and their respective representatives in connection with any actions required to be taken as part of their respective obligations under this Agreement.
Section 10.4    Assignment; Exchange Cooperation; Successors in Interest.  Neither Purchaser nor Seller may assign any of their respective rights hereunder, except with the prior written consent of the other (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that without additional consent from Seller prior to the Closing Purchaser may assign its rights under this Agreement as provided in Section 4.1(i) above and/or, in whole or in part, to any affiliate or related entity of Purchaser, provided, however, Purchaser shall remain liable for all Purchaser obligations under this Agreement.

This Agreement is binding upon the parties and their respective successors or assigns and inures to the benefit of the parties and their permitted successors and assigns.
Section 10.5    No Third Party Beneficiaries.  The parties do not intend to confer any benefit under this Agreement on anyone other than the parties, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to confer any such benefit on any other person, including any current or former employee or agent of Seller or any dependent or beneficiary of any of them.
Section 10.6    Severability.  Any determination by any court of competent jurisdiction of the invalidity of any provision of this Agreement that is not essential to accomplishing its purposes shall not affect the validity of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect and which shall be construed as to be valid under applicable law.
Section 10.7    Purchaser Records Rights.  Upon Purchaser’s request, for a period of one (1) year after Closing, Seller shall make the financial statements, including balance sheets, income statements, stockholders’ equity statements and cash flow statements and related notes prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting standards, and any and all books, records, correspondence, financial data, leases, delinquency reports and all other documents and matters maintained by Seller or its agents and relating to receipts, expenditures, contributions and distributions reasonably necessary to complete an audit pertaining to the Purchased Property for the three (3) most recent full calendar years and the interim period of the current calendar year (collectively, the “Records”) available to Purchaser and/or its auditors for inspection, copying and audit by Purchaser’s designated accountants, and at Purchaser’s expense.  Seller shall provide Purchaser and/or its auditors, but without expense to Seller, with copies of, or access to, such factual and financial information as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser or its designated accountants, and in the possession or control of Seller, to enable Purchaser to file any filings required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with the purchase of the Purchased Property.  Seller understands and acknowledges that Purchaser is required to file audited financial statements related to the Purchased Property with the SEC within seventy-one (71) days of the Closing Date and agrees to provide any records, and reasonably requested representations and/or certifications, to the Purchaser’s auditors, on a timely basis to facilitate Purchaser’s timely submission of such audited financial statements.

Neither of the parties has made or relied upon any representation, warranty or assurances in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder other than those expressly made herein.
(c)    The failure of any party at any time or times to require performance of any provision of this Agreement shall in no manner affect its right to enforce the same, and no waiver by any party of any provision (or of a breach of any provision) of this Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances shall be deemed or construed either as a further or continuing waiver of any such provision or breach or as a waiver of any other provision (or of a breach of any other provision) of this Agreement.
Section 10.9    Time.  Time is of the essence with respect to this Agreement.
Section 10.10     Survival.  For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything contrary in this Agreement, , Section 4.5, Section 4.6, Section 4.6(b)(v), Section 4.10, Section 4.11, Section 5.7, ARTICLE 8, and of this Agreement shall survive the Closing of this Agreement. 
Section 10.11     Eminent Domain ‐ Condemnation.  If, prior to Closing, all or portion of Real Property comprising at least ten percent (10%) of the Real Property is subject to an eminent domain or condemnation proceeding which will result in a loss of such portion of the Real Property by Seller or Purchaser, Seller, immediately upon learning thereof, shall give written notice to Purchaser.  Thereafter, Purchaser shall have a period of thirty (30) days within which to elect, by written notice to Seller, to terminate this Agreement.  Upon any such termination the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and the Agreement shall become null and void in its entirety.  If no such election is timely made, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its rights under this paragraph, except that, if the transaction contemplated hereby closes, Purchaser shall be entitled to the proceeds or the right to negotiate, settle and collect the proceeds of such condemnation award, and Seller shall execute and deliver all documents reasonably requested of Seller in order to effectuate this section.
Section 10.12     Risk Of Loss.  Seller assumes all risks and liability for loss, damage, destruction or injury by fire, storm, accident or any other casualty to the Real Property from all causes until the Closing has been consummated.  In the event of any damage or destruction prior to Closing with an estimated repair cost of greater than One Hundred Thousand and No/100 U.S. Dollars ($100,000) for the Facility, Purchaser shall have the option exercisable by written notice to Seller within thirty (30) days after Purchaser is notified of such casualty, to terminate this Agreement by notice thereof to Seller, in which case the parties shall have no further rights or obligations under the Agreement and the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser; or Purchaser may elect to close this transaction and, in such event Purchaser shall be entitled to receive the full amount of any proceeds of such insurance payable on account of loss, damage or destruction after the date hereof and Seller shall be liable for the payment to Purchaser of all deductibles under applicable insurance policies.  Seller covenants to execute such assignments, drafts and other instruments as may be required to effectuate this section.
Section 10.13     Attorneys’ Fees.  In the event either party brings an action to enforce or interpret any of the provisions of this Agreement, the “prevailing party” in such action shall, in addition to any other recovery, be entitled to its reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses arising from such action and any appeal or any bankruptcy action related thereto, whether or not such matter proceeds to court.  For purposes of this Agreement, “prevailing party” shall mean, in the case of a person asserting a claim, such person is successful in obtaining substantially all of the relief sought, and in the case of a person defending against or responding to a claim, such person is successful in denying substantially all of the relief sought.
Section 10.14      Covenant Not to Compete.  For a period of three (3) years following the Closing, the Seller agrees that neither Seller nor any of its affiliates (including without limitation the Executive Director and Michael S. Lehnkering) or other entities which the Seller or any of its affiliates controls, is controlled by or is under common control with (all entities referenced above collectively, the “Seller Parties”), shall, directly or indirectly, develop, own, invest in, finance, manage or franchise any facility similar to the Business within a radius of seven (7) miles from any portion of the Real Property.  For the avoidance of doubt and without limitation, any facility operating as a continuing care retirement community, independent living facility, personal care facility and/or memory care facility shall be deemed to be similar to the Business for purposes of this Section 10.14.  The provisions of this Section 10.14 shall survive Closing and affiliates.
Section 10.15      Prior to Closing.  At Purchaser’s request after the Due Diligence Period has expired and providing Purchaser has not terminated the Agreement, at a mutually convenient date proposed by Purchaser and agreed to by the Executive Director, the parties shall conduct meetings with the employees of Seller and employees of the Current Managers who will become employees of Purchaser, for the purpose of explaining the sale of the Business to Purchaser, outlining Purchaser’s proposed use of the Business, and answering questions about the sale.
Section 10.16      Post-Closing.  Seller will provide reasonable cooperation and assistance to Purchaser and its assigns in arranging for, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, a transition team to assist Purchaser and its assigns as reasonably necessary in the orderly establishment and transition of Purchaser and its assigns as the owner and manager of the Business, including but not limited to assisting in personnel matters, reimbursement issues, program development, regulatory compliance and other relevant matters as they arise.
Section 10.17      Execution in Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original.  This Agreement may be executed by counterpart signatures and all counterpart signature pages shall constitute a part of this Agreement.
