(c) Following the Initial Closing, the Parties shall have subsequent closings (each, a “Subsequent Closing” and collectively, “Subsequent Closings”) at the end of each successive month for any Facilities which were not included in the Initial Closing and which would be eligible under Sections 3.1(b)(i) or 3.1(b)(ii) if the Initial Closing Date were the end of the relevant successive month (in each instance, the date on which a Subsequent Closing occurs, the “Subsequent Closing Date”); provided, however, that such Subsequent Closing shall not include any Facility where the parties do not have adequate assurance on or prior to the twentieth (20th) day of the month that any required third party consent will be obtained on or prior to such Subsequent Closing.

(d) Except as otherwise specifically set out in this Agreement, matters pertaining to a Closing or a Closing Date shall be read and deemed to be related to: (i) prior to such anticipated Closing Date, the Facilities and related Purchased Assets which are anticipated to be or qualified to become Transferred Facilities as of such Closing Date, and (ii) after such anticipated Closing Date, the Facilities and related Purchased Assets which became Transferred Facilities as of such Closing Date; provided that, if a Facility fails to become a Transferred Facility on a Closing Date as the result of a breach or default of a Party that is not the result of it becoming an Escrow Facility or Operator Delay Facility, nothing in this paragraph is intended to waive the rights of the non-breaching party regarding such breach pursuant to Article X hereof.

3.2 Satisfaction of Interim Agreements. For any Facilities that are subject to an Interim Agreement following the Initial Closing or a Subsequent Closing, the applicable Seller Party and OTA Transferee shall have an administrative transfer (each, an “Administrative Transfer” and collectively, “Administrative Transfers”) to finalize all pending transfers and terminate the Interim Agreements upon receipt by such OTA Transferee, as applicable, of a License to operate, or receipt of such written assurances from the Department, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such OTA Transferee, that a License to operate has been or will be issued by the Department effective as of the Effective Time.

3.3 Effective Time. The Initial Closing shall be deemed effective for each applicable Transferred Facility as of 12:00:01 a.m. local Facility time on the day after the Initial Closing Date (the “Initial Effective Time”). Similarly, each Subsequent Closing shall be deemed effective for each applicable Transferred Facility as of 12:00:01 a.m. local Facility time on the day after such Subsequent Closing (together with the Initial Effective Time, each being an “Effective Time” specific to the Facilities involved in each Closing, respectively).

Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that certain Purchased Assets will not be held by Purchaser following the Closing and instead shall be held by Purchaser Parties or Purchaser Assignees, as applicable. With respect to each Purchaser Party and each Purchaser Assignee, and except with respect to the obligations to pay the Purchase Price under Section 2.5 for which it shall be the sole obligor, and the obligations set forth in Section 6.12 with respect to a Lease Guaranty for which Purchaser shall retain secondary liability following the Closing until such time as the applicable Purchaser Assignee is released from such Lease Guaranty in accordance with 6.12, Purchaser shall retain secondary liability (behind the applicable Purchaser Assignee) hereunder for all pre-Closing obligations owed to Seller with respect to such assigned Purchased Assets unless Seller otherwise releases Purchaser from such liability.

Each Seller Party shall be responsible for such Seller Party’s proportionate share of any such Taxes that are attributable to the Pre-Closing Period, and all such Taxes with respect to a Facility to the extent due and payable as of the applicable Closing shall have been paid as of such Closing, and Purchaser shall be liable for its proportionate share of any such Taxes that are attributable to the Post-Closing Period.

(b) Returns. Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared and shall file or cause to be filed all Returns relating to Taxes arising out of the operation of the Business or the ownership of the Purchased Assets with respect to the Pre-Closing Period. All such Returns shall be prepared in accordance with Seller’s past custom and practice, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law. Purchaser shall pay to Seller promptly on demand all Property Taxes levied with respect to the Purchased Assets with respect to the Post-Closing Period included in any such Return prepared or caused to be prepared by Seller for which Purchaser is responsible pursuant to Section 6.2(a) to the extent paid by any Seller Party; provided, however, if Purchaser does not promptly pay to Seller any such liabilities, Seller shall have the right to pursue an indemnification claim for such liabilities in accordance with Section 9.2 hereof.

(c) Tax Cooperation. Purchaser and Seller shall furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon written request, as promptly as reasonably practicable, to the extent they have access to the same, such information and assistance relating to the Business, the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Returns, the making of any election relating to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any Governmental Authority, and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any Tax. Any expenses incurred in furnishing such information or assistance shall be borne by the Party requesting it.

(d) Transfer Taxes. All sales, transfer (including real estate transfer), stamp, documentary, filing, recordation and other similar Taxes, together with interest, additions or penalties with respect thereto resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the purchase of the Purchased Assets hereunder) (“Transfer Taxes”), shall be paid by Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, as set forth on Schedule 6.2(d) hereto in accordance with legal requirements or customary practice on a state-by-state basis. Any Returns required to be filed in connection with any Transfer Taxes shall be prepared and filed when due by the Party responsible for payment of such Transfer Taxes under this Section 6.2(d), and the responsible Party shall provide such other Party with a copy of such Return for review and comment at least five (5) Business Days prior to such filing, unless the other Party is otherwise required as a matter of Law to be the remitting party, in which case the responsible Party shall prepare the return for filing by the other Party and shall provide the other Party with a copy of such Return for review and comment at least five (5) Business Days prior to such filing.

6.3 Commercially Reasonable Efforts; Cooperation; Regulatory Filings.

(a) In accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the Parties shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions that are necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer and delivery of each of the Facilities and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including using commercially reasonable efforts to accomplish each of the following: (i) taking of all reasonable acts necessary to cause the Closing Conditions of the Parties set forth in Article VII to be satisfied, (ii) obtaining all necessary consents, approvals, waivers, Orders and authorizations from Governmental Authorities and making all necessary registrations, declarations and filings with Governmental Authorities, (iii) taking all reasonable steps as may be necessary to avoid any objections or legal proceedings by any Governmental Authority, and (iv) the obtaining of all necessary consents,

approvals or waivers from third parties; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.3(a) shall not require either (A) either Party to perform, satisfy or discharge any obligations of any other Party under this Agreement or otherwise, or (B) Seller or a Seller Party to expend any money other than for filing fees or expenses or de minimis costs or expenses or agree to any restrictions in order to obtain any consents or waivers.

(b) To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Party shall consult with the other Party with respect to, and provide any information reasonably requested by the other Party in connection with, all material filings made with any Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. If any Party or any of its Affiliates receives a request for information or documentary material from any Governmental Authority with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby, such Party shall endeavor in good faith to make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, an appropriate response in compliance with such request, after consultation with the other Party.

(c) On or prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to fulfill or obtain the fulfillment of the conditions precedent, and to take such other steps as may be necessary or advisable to cause, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Ventas Agreement to occur as promptly as practicable after the date of such agreement, including the execution and delivery of any documents, certificates, instruments or other papers that are reasonably required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any Contract, Real Property Lease, Ventas Agreement, or License if an attempted assignment thereof, without consent of a third party thereto, would constitute a breach or other contravention thereof or in any way adversely affect the rights of Purchaser, any Purchaser Party or Purchaser Assignee, Seller, or any Seller Party. Seller will reasonably cooperate with Purchaser’s efforts to obtain the consent of the other parties to any Real Property Leases or Contracts to be assigned to Purchaser or a Purchaser Party or Purchaser Assignee as applicable. To the extent any Contracts are not assigned, each will be an Excluded Liability. Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of the other Parties to any such Real Property Leases for the assignment thereof to Purchaser or any Purchaser Party or Purchaser Assignee, as applicable.

(e) Purchaser shall provide, and cause Purchaser Parties and OTA Transferees to provide, within fifteen (15) days after the Execution Date all documentation required or reasonably requested under any (i) relevant Real Property Leases, (ii) operating agreement and/or management agreement related to the Joint Venture Interests, and (iii) UPL Contracts, in order to obtain consent to assignment of all such Agreements within fifteen (15) days after the Execution Date. Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller on such consents and shall respond to any subsequent request for reasonable information in a timely fashion.

(f) Purchaser and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all approvals and authorizations, and make all filings for the transactions contemplated in this Agreement required under the HSR Act or any other antitrust Law with the initial filing, if any, to be made no later than fifteen (15) days after the Execution Date.

6.4 Announcement and Disclosure.

(a) The Parties agree to consult with each other and provide the other party with the opportunity to review and comment prior to issuing any initial press release concerning this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties shall not be restricted from (i) making any public statements required by applicable Law, court process or the New

York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market, or (ii) issuing any subsequent press release or other public statement that is not inconsistent in any material respect with the initial press release issued by that Party in accordance with this Agreement, in each case under this clause (ii) to the extent such disclosure is still accurate.

(b) Except as may be necessary to enforce this Agreement, or to comply with applicable Laws including securities Laws, for three (3) years after the last Closing, Seller shall (i) treat and hold as confidential any proprietary and confidential information of Seller related exclusively to the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities related to any Transferred Facility (collectively, “Confidential Information”), and (ii) refrain from using any of the Confidential Information except in connection with this Agreement. The term “Confidential Information” shall not include information that is or becomes generally available to the public by actions of Persons other than Seller or that pertains to any of the Excluded Assets or the Excluded Liabilities. If Seller is required to disclose any Confidential Information in order to comply with, or avoid violating, any applicable Law, Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Purchaser with prompt notice thereof to the extent legally permissible. With the exception of securities filings reasonably required of a public company like Seller’s indirect parent, to the extent legally permissible, Seller shall provide Purchaser, in advance of any such disclosure, with copies of any Confidential Information that Seller intends to disclose (and, if applicable, the text of the disclosure language itself) and shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser, at Purchaser’s sole expense, if permitted by applicable Law, to the extent Purchaser may reasonably seek to limit such disclosure in a manner consistent with applicable Law.

(c) Except as may be necessary to enforce this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, for three (3) years after the last Closing, Purchaser shall (i) treat and hold as confidential any proprietary and confidential information of Seller or any of its Affiliates that does not relate exclusively to the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities related to the Facility, including any proprietary and confidential information relating to any of the Excluded Assets or the Excluded Liabilities (collectively, “Seller Confidential Information”), and (ii) refrain from using any of Seller Confidential Information except in connection with this Agreement. The term “Seller Confidential Information” shall not include information that is or becomes generally available to the public by actions of Persons other than Purchaser or any of its Affiliates. If Purchaser is required to disclose any Seller Confidential Information in order to avoid violating any applicable Law, Purchaser will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Seller with prompt notice thereof to the extent legally permissible. To the extent legally permissible and at Seller’s sole expense, Purchaser shall provide Seller, in advance of any such disclosure, with copies of any Seller Confidential Information that Purchaser intends to disclose (and, if applicable, the text of the disclosure language itself) and shall reasonably cooperate with Seller, at Seller’s sole expense, if permitted by applicable Law, to the extent Seller may reasonably seek to limit such disclosure in a manner consistent with applicable Law.

6.5 [Reserved].

6.6 [Reserved].

6.7 Efforts and Actions.

(a) Each Party shall from time to time and without further consideration, before and after the Closing, execute such further instruments and take such other actions as any other Party hereto shall reasonably request for itself or on behalf of a third party, provided such requests (i) do not materially contravene any financing agreement or arrangement of a Party, and (ii) are solely in furtherance of its obligations set forth in any of the Transaction Documents and are wholly consistent therewith, to effectuate the purposes and terms set forth in the Transaction Documents and to provide for the orderly implementation of the Closing and, following the Closing, of the respective Parties’ rights and obligations as set forth in this Agreement.

(b) Following the Execution Date, upon reasonable advance notice by Purchaser or an OTA Transferee, Seller shall permit reasonable access by Purchaser, each OTA Transferee and their respective representatives to seek to establish personal relationships with Persons who have business relations with the Business; provided, however, that except as contemplated by the Transaction Documents or permitted by Seller in writing, neither Purchaser nor any OTA Transferee shall have the right to amend or modify any agreements applicable to the operation of the Business at any Facility unless any such amendments or modifications are contingent on Closing regarding any applicable Facilities. Seller shall be entitled, if it so elects, to have a representative participate in any such discussions.

(c) On and after the Execution Date, with reasonable coordination with and advance notice to Seller Parties, Purchaser and each OTA Transferee shall be entitled to visit the Facilities to assess operational needs for the operation of the Facilities after the Effective Time including, without limitation, information technology requirements. In addition, on and after the Execution Date, so long as there is not a disruption in information technology service to the Facilities, Purchaser’s information technology consultants may install data lines at the Facilities with reasonable advance notice and coordination with Seller. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller and its Affiliates harmless from and against all Losses suffered or incurred as a result of any such access, and this obligation shall survive Closing.

(d) On and after the Execution Date, so long as this Agreement has not been terminated, Seller shall provide Purchaser and each OTA Transferee, their officers, employees, members, agents, contractors, engineers, consultants, licensees and assignees (i) access to all the books, contracts, and other records of Seller and Seller Parties as they relate to the Facilities as Purchaser or an OTA Transferee may reasonably request, and (ii) access to the Facilities for the purpose of making any and all examinations and investigations of the Facilities as Purchaser and OTA Transferee may reasonably request. Seller shall be entitled, if it so elects, to have a representative present.

(e) Seller and each Seller Party shall deliver to Purchaser, promptly after receipt of the same, copies of any survey reports, waivers of deficiencies, plans of correction and any other investigation reports issued with respect to the Business or a Facility between the Execution Date and the applicable Closing. Seller and each Seller Party, as applicable, shall notify Purchaser immediately upon the occurrence of any survey or investigation of any Facility, regardless of whether the applicable Governmental Authority has issued a formal report or finding (such notice may be done verbally by telephone if promptly followed by written notification).

(f) Between the Execution Date and the applicable Closing, Seller and each Seller Party, as applicable, shall notify Purchaser of any Government Reimbursement Program recoupment claim or open Cost Report settlement proposal received from a Governmental Authority.

6.8 Overhead and Shared Services; National Contracts. Purchaser acknowledges that the Business currently benefits from the National Contracts and receives Overhead and Shared Services from Seller and its Affiliates. Purchaser further acknowledges that, as it relates to the operation of the Business at any Transferred Facility, all such benefits from the National Contracts and provision of Overhead and Shared Services shall cease, and any agreement by the Business with Seller or any of its Affiliates in respect to benefiting from the National Contracts or the provision of Overhead and Shared Services shall terminate, as of the Closing Date for such Transferred Facility. No Overhead and Shared Services shall be provided by Seller or any of its Affiliates to any Transferred Facility.

6.9 Risk of Loss; Casualty Loss; Condemnation.

(a) If, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, any of the Real Property included in the Purchased Assets related to a Facility shall be destroyed or damaged in whole or in part (other than damage that is of such a de minimis nature that it would not reasonably be expected to have any material effect on the use or value of the affected Facility) by fire, earthquake, flood, or other casualty (a “Casualty Loss”), Seller shall deliver notice of such Casualty Loss to Purchaser. If the repair of such Casualty Loss would, (i) in the reasonable determination (the “Repair Estimate”) of an engineer, architect or contractor selected by Seller and reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser or a major regional or national commercial real estate broker selected by Seller and reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser (“Estimator”), cost less than fifteen percent (15%) of the Purchase Price applicable to such Facility pursuant to the Purchase Price Allocation (the “Casualty Threshold”), and (ii) permit the applicable Facility to continue to be operated in substantially the same manner as immediately prior to the Casualty Loss, then Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Facility as a result of such Casualty Loss and the Closing shall take place as provided herein, provided that Purchaser shall have the option of (x) taking such Facility as it is, together with the insurance proceeds, if any, or the right to receive the same, and the rights to any other claims arising as a result of the damage, and reducing the Purchase Price paid with respect to such Facility by the amount of any applicable deductible, or (y) electing to have Seller work with its insurance carrier to cause all necessary repairs to be completed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser within forty-five (45) days of the date the Casualty Loss occurred.

(b) If, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, a Casualty Loss occurs and the Repair Estimate exceeds the Casualty Threshold, then Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Facility within twenty (20) days after Purchaser has received the Repair Estimate with respect to such Casualty Loss, or at the Closing, whichever is earlier, in which case such affected Facility shall not be transferred at the Closing, the Parties’ rights and obligations hereunder with respect thereto shall terminate with no further liability on the part of any Party (other than to the extent any rights and obligations are expressly stated in this Agreement to survive termination of this Agreement), and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount set forth opposite such Facility on Schedule 2.5(b). If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Facility as set forth in this Section 6.9(b), then, at Purchaser’s option, either (i) the Closing shall take place as otherwise provided herein, with a reduction of the Purchase Price with respect to such Facility in the amount of the Repair Estimate, or (ii) Seller shall work with its insurance carrier to cause all necessary repairs to be completed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser as soon as reasonably practicable after the date the damage occurred. If such repairs are not completed prior to the Closing Date, then the closing of the transaction with respect to such damaged Facility (the “Escrowed Damaged Facility”) shall occur after the Closing Date in accordance with the timing for closing Escrow Facilities set forth in Section 10.3 (the “Escrowed Damaged Facility Closing Date”), and the Purchase Price allocated to the Escrowed Damaged Facility will not be paid on the Closing Date but shall be paid on the date the Escrowed Damaged Facility Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, if the Escrowed Damaged Facility Closing Date does not occur on or prior to the Outside Date, then this Agreement will terminate with respect to the damaged Facility.

(c) If, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, any Condemnation is commenced with respect to any of the Real Property related to any Facility, Seller shall deliver notice of such Condemnation to Purchaser. If the Condemnation is of such a de minimis nature that it would, as reasonably determined by an Estimator selected in the manner set forth in Section 6.9(a), not reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the use or value of the affected Facility, then Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Facility as a result of such Condemnation and the Closing shall take place as provided herein, without reduction of the Purchase Price, and Seller shall assign to Purchaser at the Closing all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all awards made in respect of such Condemnation and to pay over to Purchaser all amounts theretofore received by Seller (net of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses) in connection with such Condemnation.

(d) If, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, any Condemnation is commenced with respect to all, or a portion of the Real Property that would, in the reasonable determination of the Estimator, reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the use or value of the affected Facility, then Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Facility within ten (10) days after Seller has given Purchaser notice that such Condemnation has commenced, or at the Closing, whichever is earlier, in which case such affected Facility shall not be transferred at the Closing and the Parties’ rights and obligations hereunder with respect thereto shall terminate with no further liability on the part of any Party (other than to the extent any rights and obligations are expressly stated in this Agreement to survive termination of this Agreement). If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement as set forth above, the Closing shall take place as provided herein, with a reduction of the Purchase Price with respect to such Facility in an amount the Estimator reasonably determines the value of the Facility has been impaired as a result of such Condemnation.

(e) If, prior to the first scheduled Closing with respect to a Portfolio, the sum of (i) the aggregate loss, if any, reasonably determined by Estimator(s) to be represented by Casualty Losses and/or Condemnations suffered by Facilities within such Portfolio, plus (ii) the Transfer Value of any Escrow Facilities within such Portfolio (such sum, the “Aggregate Impacted Facilities Value”) is equal to or greater than fifteen percent (15%) of the Transfer Value of the Facilities in such Portfolio (the “Aggregate Impacted Facilities Threshold”), then (x) subject to Section 6.9(f) and in addition to any termination rights Purchaser may otherwise have under this Agreement with respect to such Portfolio or the individual Facilities therein, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Portfolio, and (y) notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser’s obligation to consummate a Closing with respect to each Facility in such Portfolio (including any Facility which that has not suffered any Casualty Loss and/or Condemnation and is not an Escrow Facility) shall be delayed until such time as the Aggregate Impacted Facilities Value for such Portfolio is less than the Aggregate Impacted Facilities Threshold for such Portfolio and the applicable Facility is otherwise eligible for Closing under this Agreement.

(f) To the extent the Aggregate Impacted Facilities Value for a Portfolio that has exceeded the Aggregate Impacted Facilities Threshold includes the Transfer Value of one or more Escrow Facilities, Seller shall have a period of one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of the first scheduled Closing with respect to such Portfolio (the “Portfolio Escrow Cure Period”) to bring such Escrow Facilities into compliance. With respect to such a Portfolio, Purchaser’s termination right under Section 6.9(e)(x) shall arise upon the expiration of the Portfolio Escrow Cure Period only if the Aggregate Impacted Facilities Value for such Portfolio still exceeds the Aggregate Impacted Facilities Threshold as a result of Facilities within such Portfolio continuing to be Escrow Facilities.

6.10 Title and Survey Matters; Estoppel Certificates.

(a) Seller has delivered to Purchaser the title insurance commitments (the “First American Title Reports”) for all of the Real Property, issued by First American Title. Purchaser has obtained from Madison Title Agency, LLC or, solely with respect to the Facilities located in the State of Ohio, Riverside Abstract (in each case, in such capacity, “Title Company”) title insurance commitments (“Title Reports”) and, at Closing, Purchaser shall cause Title Company to issue standard form owner’s policies of title insurance with respect to each parcel of Real Property; Seller will cooperate therewith. Purchaser shall cause Title Company to use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver a copy of each exception document to which reference is made in the Title Reports; Seller will cooperate therewith. In the case of parcels of Owned Real Property and owned (as opposed to leased) Ventas Property, such policies shall be standard ALTA Form 2006 owner’s policies in the full amount of that portion of the Purchase Price allocated to each such parcel of Owned Real Property, insuring good and marketable fee title thereto (expressly including all easements and other appurtenances). Purchaser may coordinate with Title Company to have the standard exceptions deleted, if available; Seller will cooperate therewith.

Purchaser shall be responsible for the cost of any extended coverage to any final title policy. Seller shall not be obligated to provide leasehold policies for any Leased Real Property or the Ventas Property, provided, however, that this sentence shall not be deemed to relieve Seller of any cooperation obligation otherwise set forth herein. The title policies for the Owned Real Property shall be subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances. Purchaser may request such endorsements to the title policies, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense.

(b) Prior to the Closing, Purchaser may order updates or continuations of, and supplements to, the Title Reports (each a “Title Update”) for any Real Property, at Purchaser’s sole cost. Purchaser shall instruct Title Company to simultaneously deliver directly to Purchaser and Seller copies of each Title Update (including tax and departmental searches) ordered by Purchaser or otherwise issued by Title Company, at Purchaser’s cost, and copies of all underlying documentation referenced as an exception in such Title Update as soon as and if reasonably available.

(c) Purchaser shall have the right to deliver one or more written notices to the Title Updates (each, a “Title Objection Notice”) to Seller objecting to any items contained in the Title Updates or a Title Update which are not Permitted Encumbrances and which would materially interfere with the use or occupancy of the affected property or materially and adversely affect the value of the affected property if not removed or otherwise cured, such Title Objection Notice to be delivered prior to the earlier of (i) within ten (10) days after Purchaser’s receipt of such Title Update, and (ii) twenty (20) days prior to the Closing Date. Failure of Purchaser to provide a Title Objection Notice within such period (or to include any such matters in a timely delivered and valid Title Objection Notice) shall be deemed Purchaser’s approval of all items contained in such Title Update. All such items that are not objected to by Purchaser in a timely delivered and valid Title Objection Notice shall be deemed to be Permitted Encumbrances and the Purchase Price shall not be reduced. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts and expend such amounts as it deems appropriate in its commercially reasonable discretion to remove or cure prior to the Closing any title exceptions that are not Permitted Encumbrances to which Purchaser properly and timely objects to in the Title Objection Notice (which cure may, at Seller’s election, involve obtaining, at Seller’s expense, title insurance from Title Company acceptable to Purchaser insuring against the effect of such exceptions). Seller shall not have any obligation to remove or cure any such exceptions or pay any amounts to cure or remove the same except that Seller shall be obligated to cure or remove any exceptions created by, through or under Seller after the date of this Agreement and otherwise not agreed to by Purchaser. Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing within seven (7) days after receipt of notice from Purchaser regarding such exceptions whether Seller elects to attempt to remove or cure any such exceptions, and Seller’s failure to deliver such notice in a timely manner shall be deemed an election by Seller not to remove or cure such exceptions. If Seller notifies Purchaser that Seller has elected to remove or cure any such exceptions and the removal or cure cannot be completed by the Closing, then the Facility shall become an Escrow Facility. If Seller notifies Purchaser that Seller has elected not to remove or cure any such exceptions (or is deemed to have elected not to remove or cure such exceptions), then Purchaser shall notify Seller within seven (7) days after receipt of such notice (or date of deemed election, as applicable) whether Purchaser elects to proceed to the Closing for such Facility, taking title subject to such exceptions, or not to proceed to the Closing for such Facility, in which case the Parties shall be relieved of any further obligations hereunder with respect to such Facility. Failure of Purchaser to provide such notice in a timely manner shall be deemed an election by Purchaser to proceed to the Closing for such Facility. If Purchaser elects (or is deemed to have elected) to take title subject to any such exceptions under this Section 6.10, such exceptions shall become Permitted Encumbrances and the Purchase Price shall not be reduced.

(d) Purchaser shall be responsible for the costs of any Title Updates, new or updated surveys and title insurance policies obtained by Purchaser.

(e) Purchaser may elect to obtain, at Purchaser’s expense, to the extent available, surveys of each parcel of Real Property prepared in accordance with the Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/ NSPS Land Title Surveys, jointly established and adopted by ALTA and NSPS in 2016, which includes Items 2, 3, 4, 6(a), 6(b), 7(a), 7(b)(1), 8, 9, 10, 11 and 19 of Table A thereof (and for vacant parcels, includes Item 5 of Table A), certified to Purchaser and Title Company, each dated no more than thirty (30) calendar days prior to the Closing and each detailing, among other things, the legal description, perimeter boundaries, all improvements located thereon, all easements and encroachments, rights-of-way, utilities rights and other matters (whether above or below ground) encumbering or affecting each such parcel of Real Property and such other matters as Purchaser or Title Company reasonably request, each containing a surveyor certificate reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and Title Company, and each prepared by a registered land surveyor reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser licensed to practice in the jurisdiction in which the parcel of Real Property is located. In the event any survey discloses any matters which would materially interfere with the use or occupancy of the affected property or materially and adversely affect the value of the affected property if not removed or otherwise cured, then subject to Section 6.10(g) Purchaser may include such matter(s) in a Title Objection Notice and the provisions of Section 6.10(c) shall apply.

(f) Purchaser may elect to obtain, at Purchaser’s expense, engineering and property condition inspection reports satisfactory to Purchaser for each parcel of Real Property, as well as any environmental site assessments, each dated no more than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing and each prepared by an engineering and property condition consultant of national or regional reputation reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser. Purchaser may elect to obtain, at Purchaser’s expense, zoning compliance reports satisfactory to Purchaser for each parcel of Real Property, each dated no more than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing and each prepared by a zoning consultant of national or regional reputation reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser. In the event any report discloses any matters which would materially interfere with the use or occupancy of the affected property or materially and adversely affect the value of the affected property if not removed or otherwise cured, then subject to Section 6.10(g) Purchaser may include such matter(s) in a Title Objection Notice and the provisions of Section 6.10(c) shall apply.

(g) Real Estate Challenges and Required Repairs.

(i) As of the Execution Date, Purchaser acknowledges that it has completed all due diligence regarding real estate matters (including without limitation, title, survey, real estate, zoning, and environmental) to Purchaser’s satisfaction, and Purchaser’s rights to challenge any issues related to real estate (including without limitation in Section 6.10(e) and Section 6.10(f)) are limited to changes to the real estate having occurred between the Execution Date and the Closing Date, except for those matters specifically set forth on Schedule 6.10(g)(i) or as otherwise provided in Section 6.10(g)(ii).

(ii) Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each of the matters listed on Schedule 6.10(g)(ii) to be satisfied, resolved, remediated, removed or released, as applicable, to Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction prior to Closing (the “Required Repairs”). Seller shall provide written notice to Purchaser when a Required Repair has been completed, and Purchaser and its representatives shall have the right to access each parcel of Real Property at least five (5) days prior to Closing to confirm that such Required Repairs have been completed. In the event that Seller does not complete the Required Repairs regarding any Facility prior to Closing on that Facility despite its commercially reasonable efforts, Seller shall not be in breach of this provision so long as Seller provides a credit to the Purchase Price in the reasonable amount of the remaining Required Repairs for such Facility.

(h) If any of the Real Property Leases require Landlord to provide an estoppel and/or a nondisturbance agreement, then Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain said estoppels and/or nondisturbance agreements in the form prescribed by the Real Property Leases. Seller shall

include (but cannot promise to obtain) customary estoppel and nondisturbance language in the initial draft of each document requesting consent to an assignment of a Real Property Lease. In the event that any Landlord does not provide a customary estoppel, Seller shall provide a tenant estoppel in a form reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser.

(i) With respect to the lease of the Facility located in Indian Creek, Indiana, Seller shall provide the written consent of the landlord under such lease to a leasehold mortgage to be placed upon the tenant’s interest under such lease, which consent shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and its Financing Source.

6.11 Lien Release. Seller shall (a) deliver to Purchaser no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing, customary lien terminations (including UCC-3 financing statements), releases, and instruments of discharge (including mortgage releases, if applicable) with respect to all Encumbrances relating to the Credit Agreement and all other Encumbrances on the applicable Transferred Facility and the related Purchased Assets that are not Permitted Encumbrances, and (b) consummate on or prior to the Closing Date, the Seller Encumbrance Release Transactions with respect to the applicable Transferred Facility and the related Purchased Assets.

6.12 Lease Guaranties. Purchaser will cooperate with Seller and use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist Seller in obtaining a full and unconditional release of those Lease Guaranties set forth on Schedule 6.12, from and after the Closing Date, which obligations of Purchaser shall include, providing a replacement guaranty by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates for the benefit of the landlord under the applicable Real Property Lease in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser which such replacement guaranty shall only apply to matters accruing from and after the Closing Date. If a full and unconditional release of any such Lease Guaranties is not obtained and any such Lease Guaranties remain outstanding following the Closing for any reason (regardless of whether or not Purchaser has complied with its obligations under this Section 6.12), then Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates from and against all Losses suffered or incurred following the Closing in connection with such Lease Guaranties as an Assumed Liability pursuant to Section 9.3(c), provided that Purchaser may assign any such Lease Guaranty obligation to a creditworthy successor in interest subject to the prior written consent of Seller (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Furthermore, to the extent that Seller or an Affiliate remains liable under a Real Property Lease following the Closing Date, unless and until Seller or such affiliate receives a full and unconditional release from such liability from the landlord thereunder for matters accruing from and after the Closing Date (which matters, for the avoidance of doubt, constitute Assumed Liabilities hereunder), Purchaser and its affiliates shall not amend, modify, or extend the obligations of tenant under such Real Property Lease in any manner that increases the liability or contingent liability of Seller or its affiliates thereunder or in any way transfer such Real Property Lease to a party other than an Affiliate without securing such release.

6.13 [Reserved].

6.14 [Reserved].

6.15 Purchaser’s Financing.

(a) Unless, and to the extent, Purchaser has sufficient cash from other sources (including by reason of a capital market or other financing transaction) available to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement, from and after the execution of this Agreement, Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to arrange the Financing.

(b) Unless, and to the extent, Purchaser has sufficient cash from other sources (including by reason of a capital market or other financing transaction) available to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement, Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to negotiate and enter into one or more commitment letters and definitive agreements with respect to the Financing.

(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser shall give Seller reasonably prompt notice if for any reason Purchaser believes in good faith that it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Financing required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) Unless and to the extent Purchaser has sufficientcash from other sources (including by reason of a capital market or other financing transaction) available to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement, in the event any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable, Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as practicable, arrange alternative debt financing from the same or alternative sources in an amount sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, following the occurrence of such event.

(e) Neither the obtaining of the Financing, any alternative debt financing from the same or alternative sources or a refinancing transaction, nor the completion of any issuance of securities contemplated by the Financing, is a condition to the Closing.

6.16 Financing Cooperation.

(a) Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide, and to cause its Affiliates and their respective representatives to (i) provide as promptly as reasonably practicable (1) such information as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser to facilitate the pledging by Purchaser of, and granting, recording and perfection of security interests in, collateral constituting Purchased Assets, and to facilitate Purchaser’s ability to obtain, at Purchaser’s cost, surveys and title insurance for the benefit of a Financing Source, and (2) other information (financial or otherwise) relating to the Business and/or the Purchased Assets as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser and/or Financing Sources, which information may include information to be used by Purchaser in the preparation of an information package regarding the business, operations, financial projections and prospects of the Business and/or the Purchased Assets as customary or reasonably necessary for the completion of such Financing and/or to prepare customary offering or information documents to be used by Purchaser for the completion of the Financing; (ii) cooperate with the marketing efforts of Purchaser and the Financing Sources, including participating in a reasonable number of meetings and due diligence sessions, at times and at locations reasonably acceptable to Seller; (iii) make available upon reasonable notice, personnel with appropriate seniority and expertise relating to Seller, the Business and/or the Purchased Assets, in each case, as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser, or as may be reasonably requested by the Financing Sources; (iv) subject to satisfactory confidentiality and limitation of use provisions, provide authorization letters acceptable to Seller to the Financing Sources authorizing the distribution of specified information to prospective lenders or investors; (v) subject to any contractual agreement in effect, obtain any applicable customary payoff letters and instruments of discharge to be delivered at the Closing(s); and (vi) subject to any contractual agreement in effect, execute and deliver any pledge and security documents (including mortgages), other definitive financing documents, or other certificates or documents as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser (including a certificate of the chief financial officer of Seller or one or more of its Subsidiaries with respect to solvency matters) related to the Purchased Assets; provided that (A) none of Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to take any action that would be prohibited by any applicable Law, (B) no obligations of Seller or any of its Affiliates under any certificate, contract, or other document or instrument delivered pursuant to this Section 6.16 shall be effective until the Closing Date, and none of Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to take any action pursuant to this Section 6.16 under any certificate, contract, or other document or instrument that is not contingent upon the

Closing or that would be effective prior to the Closing Date, (C) any requested cooperation shall not interfere with the ongoing operations of Seller and its Affiliates or their financing, (D) Seller and its Affiliates shall not be deemed to be in breach of this Section 6.16(a) unless a court of competent jurisdiction has determined by final and non-appealable judgment that a Financing was not consummated solely due to the failure of Seller and its Affiliates to comply with this Section 6.16(a), and (E) for the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby understood and agreed that neither the obtaining of the Financing, any alternative debt financing from the same or alternative sources or a refinancing transaction, nor the completion of any issuance of securities contemplated by the Financing, is a condition to the Closing.

(b) Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, execute and deliver such documents, and take such actions, as may be necessary or reasonably requested by Purchaser to facilitate the consummation of each Seller Encumbrance Release Transaction.

(c) Purchaser shall, promptly upon request by Seller accompanied by a reasonably detailed invoice, reimburse Seller for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Seller or any of its Affiliates in satisfying its obligations under Section 6.16.

6.17 Reverse 1031. Seller is aware that that certain Purchaser Assignees intend to perform an IRC Section 1031 tax-deferred exchange (the “Exchange”), and each Purchaser Assignee reserves the right to include the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by and through an assignment of such Purchaser Assignee’s rights, as part of an Exchange for the benefit of Assignee, at no cost, expense or liability to Seller or Purchaser. Seller agrees to execute any and all documents as are reasonably necessary in connection therewith, provided that the Closing with respect to the applicable Real Property shall not be contingent upon or subject to the completion of such an Exchange. Seller agrees to cooperate with any such Purchaser Assignee in such an exchange, and in return, Purchaser Assignees agree to hold Seller and Purchaser harmless from any and all claims, costs or liabilities resulting from such an Exchange. Seller agrees and consents to partial assignments of this Agreement to any qualified intermediary by one or more Purchaser Assignees in connection with an Exchange.

INDEMNIFICATION

9.1 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. All representations, warranties, pre-Closing covenants and obligations of Seller, including with respect to any Transferred Facility, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, contained in this Agreement or in any document to be executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement at the Closing (each, a “Closing Document”) shall survive the Closing for such Facility for eighteen (18) months and automatically terminate thereafter without any action on the part of any Party hereto; provided, however, that (a) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.1 (Corporate), 4.5 (Title to Purchased Assets; Absence of Encumbrances), 4.14 (Brokers and Finders), 5.1 (Corporate), and 5.3 (Brokers and Finders) shall survive indefinitely after the Closing for such Facility; (b) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.3 (Taxes) shall survive until thirty (30) days after the expiration of the statute of limitations period (including all extensions thereof) applicable to the underlying subject matter being represented; and (c) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.12 shall survive until the three year anniversary of the Closing Date for such Facility. The representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.1, 4.3, 4.5, 4.14, 5.1, and 5.3 are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Fundamental Representations.” Except as otherwise set out in this Agreement, post-Closing covenants

and obligations of the Parties shall survive the Closing Date for such Facility for three (3) years and automatically terminate without any action on the part of any Party hereto; provided, however, that (a) non-monetary obligations for access and/or retention of records, confidentiality, general cooperation, delivery of property received belonging to the other Party, and further assurances, shall survive for the Closing Date for such Transferred Facility for the period of the statute of limitations or the specific period set forth herein; (b) Purchaser’s obligations with respect to Assumed Liabilities will survive the Closing Date for such Transferred Facility until thirty (30) days after the expiration of the statute of limitations period (including all extensions thereof) applicable for such Assumed Liability; and (c) Seller’s obligations with respect to Excluded Liabilities will survive the Closing Date for such Transferred Facility until thirty (30) days after the expiration of the statute of limitations period (including all extensions thereof) applicable for such Excluded Liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any covenant, obligation, representation or warranty in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder shall survive the time at which it would otherwise terminate pursuant to this Section 9.1 (such time, the “Expiration Date”) if a Notice of Indemnification shall have been given to the applicable Indemnifying Party on or before the applicable Expiration Date; provided, however, that such survival shall automatically expire if Indemnified Party does not bring a judicial action against Indemnifying Party within one hundred eighty (180) days following the Expiration Date, and further, in the absence of the filing of such an action, the Escrow shall be released one hundred eighty (180) days after the three-year anniversary of the Initial Closing Date.

9.2 Indemnification by Seller. Subject to Section 9.1 and any cure periods set forth in this Agreement, Seller or its successors and assigns, as applicable, shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser, its successors and assigns (including the respective Purchaser Parties and Purchaser Assignees), each OTA Transferee and its successors and assigns, and their respective Affiliates (collectively, “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) from and against any Loss incurred or suffered by such Purchaser Indemnified Party arising out of or resulting from:

(a) a breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document;

(b) a failure by Seller to perform or comply with the covenants on the part of Seller set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; and

9.3 Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to Section 9.1 and any cure periods set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser or its successors and assigns, as applicable, shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates (“Seller Indemnified Parties”), from and against any Loss incurred or suffered by such Seller Indemnified Party arising out of or resulting from:

(a) a breach of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document;

(b) a failure by Purchaser to perform or comply with any covenant of Purchaser in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; and

(c) any Assumed Liability, and any obligations arising with respect to a Purchased Asset from and after the Closing Date.

9.4 Indemnification Limitations.

(a) Notwithstanding Section 9.2, if the Closing occurs:

(i) an Indemnifying Party shall not have any obligation to indemnify an Indemnified Party with respect to a Facility whatsoever from and against any Loss pursuant to Section 9.2(a) or 9.3(a) unless and until the aggregate claims for such Losses with respect to such Facility (and with respect to any Purchaser Indemnified Party, combined with claims for Losses by the applicable OTA Transferee for breaches of Seller’s representations and warranties under the applicable OTA with respect to such Facility) exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) (the “Indemnification Threshold”), at which time Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover all such Losses greater than the Indemnification Threshold, subject to the Indemnification Cap; and

(ii) Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover Losses pursuant to Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.3(a) for an aggregate amount (and with respect to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, combined with the aggregate amount of Losses recovered by the OTA Transferees for breaches of Seller’s representations and warranties under the OTAs in excess of Twelve-and-One Half Percent (12.5%) of the Transfer Value of Facilities that become Transferred Facilities (the “Indemnification Cap”); provided, however, that claims for breach of any of the Fundamental Representations shall not be subject to the limits set forth in Section 9.4(a)(i) and this Section 9.4(a)(ii) and shall not be included in the determination of whether the limit in clause (ii) has been reached. The Indemnification Cap shall be allocated among the Facilities as set forth on Schedule 9.4(a)(ii). Notwithstanding the limitations on indemnification set forth in Section 9.1 and this Section 9.4, such limitations shall not apply to any claim against Seller for fraud. For all purposes of this Article IX, when determining the amount of the Losses arising out of or resulting from a breach of a representation or warranty of Seller or Purchaser, any material adverse effect or other materiality qualifier contained in any such representation or warranty will be disregarded.

(b) Any Losses for which any Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification under this Article IX shall be reduced by the amount of insurance proceeds actually received or recovered under any insurance policies for the benefit of such Indemnified Party (including any title policies) and any cash payments, setoffs or recoupment of any payments actually recovered by such Indemnified Party in respect of such Losses. Each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate losses for which such Indemnified Party is subject to indemnification under this Article IX. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the previous Section, if an Indemnified Party believes that coverage for Losses is likely to be available under title policies, such Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue any insurance proceeds available to such Indemnified Party pursuant to any title policies. If, after Indemnifying Party has made an indemnification payment to an Indemnified Party with respect to Losses in satisfaction of its obligations under this Article IX, Indemnified Party actually recovers from any third parties amounts in respect of such Losses, Indemnified Party shall as promptly as practicable forward to Indemnifying Party such amounts, but not in excess of the indemnification payment received by Indemnified Party. Seller shall have no obligation to indemnify (whether under this Article or otherwise) both (i) Purchaser, or a Purchaser Party or an assignee of Purchaser, and (ii) an OTA Transferee, with respect to any single Loss and shall not be required to pay duplicative damages. Further, Seller shall not owe obligations to more than one of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties with respect to any single Loss and shall not be required to pay duplicative damages. For avoidance of doubt, multiple Purchaser Indemnified Parties could incur separate Losses (i.e., not a “single Loss”) from the same matter for which indemnification is being sought.

(c) Any indemnification payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) and shall be reflected as an adjustment to the consideration allocated to a specific asset, if any, giving rise to the adjustment and if any such adjustment does not relate to a specific asset, such adjustment shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation principles set forth in Section 2.6. In the event of a claim under this Section, a Party shall have a duty to mitigate its Losses.

9.5 Assumption of Defense. An Indemnified Party shall promptly give notice (each, a “Notice of Indemnification”) to each Indemnifying Party after obtaining knowledge of any matter as to which recovery may be sought against such Indemnifying Party because of the indemnity set forth above, and, if such indemnity shall arise from the claim of a third party and Indemnifying Party provides written notice to Indemnified Party stating that Indemnifying Party is responsible for the entire claim within ten (10) days after Indemnifying Party’s receipt of the applicable Notice of Indemnification, shall permit such Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any proceeding resulting from such claim; provided, however, that failure to give any such Notice of Indemnification promptly shall not affect the indemnification provided under this Article IX, except and only to the extent such Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure or if such Notice of Indemnification is not given to Indemnifying Party prior the applicable Expiration Date. If an Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such third party claim, such Indemnifying Party shall have full and complete control over the conduct of such proceeding on behalf of Indemnified Party and shall, subject to the provisions of this Section 9.5, have the right to decide all matters of procedure, strategy, substance and settlement relating to such proceeding; provided, further, however, that any counsel chosen by such Indemnifying Party to conduct such defense shall be reasonably satisfactory to Indemnified Party; and provided, further, however, that Indemnifying Party shall not without the written consent of Indemnified Party consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the matter which (a) does not include a provision whereby the plaintiff or the claimant in the matter releases Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto, and (b) in the case of Purchaser as Indemnifying Party, does not include any provision that would impose any obligation (including an obligation to refrain from taking action) upon Seller. Indemnified Party may participate in such proceeding and retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense (and, for the avoidance of doubt, such cost and expense shall not constitute a Loss for purposes of the Indemnification Obligations). Notwithstanding the forgoing, (i) Purchaser, at any time when it believes that a claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, indictment or investigation, may assume the defense and otherwise deal with such claim in good faith with counsel of its choice, and be fully indemnified therefor, (ii) the Indemnifying Party may not assume the defense of any claim if an actual conflict of interest exists between Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party that precludes effective joint representation, and (iii) Indemnified Party may take over the defense and prosecution of a claim from Indemnifying Party if Indemnifying Party has failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such claim.

9.6 Non-Assumption of Defense. If no Indemnifying Party is permitted or elects to assume the defense of any such claim by a third party or proceeding resulting therefrom, Indemnified Party shall diligently defend against such claim or litigation in such manner as it may deem appropriate and, in such event, Indemnifying Party or Parties shall reimburse Indemnified Party for all reasonable and actually incurred out-of-pocket costs and expenses, legal or otherwise, incurred by Indemnified Party and its Affiliates in connection with the defense against such claim or proceeding, within thirty (30) days after the receipt of detailed invoices.

9.7 Indemnified Party’s Cooperation as to Proceedings. Indemnified Party will cooperate in all reasonable respects with any Indemnifying Party in the conduct of any proceeding as to which such Indemnifying Party assumes the defense, except to the extent Indemnified Party could reasonably be expected to be prejudiced thereby. Indemnifying Party or Parties shall promptly reimburse Indemnified Party for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, legal or otherwise, incurred by Indemnified Party or its Affiliates in connection therewith, within thirty (30) days after the receipt of detailed invoices therefor.

9.8 Damages Disclaimed. EXCEPT IN THE EVENT OF FRAUD OR AS SUCH MAY BE PART OF ANY CLAIM OF ANY THIRD PARTY THAT IS NOT A PURCHASER INDEMNIFIED PARTY OR A TRANSFEREE INDEMNIFIED PARTY (AS DEFINED IN THE OTA), UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL SELLER OR ANY SELLER PARTY BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE (WHETHER UNDER THIS ARTICLE IX OR OTHERWISE IN THIS AGREEMENT) IN ANY WAY HEREUNDER FOR LOST PROFITS, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, DIMINUTION IN VALUE, OR ANY EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE ACTION IS FOUNDED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE.

9.9 Individual Liability Disclaimed. For the avoidance of doubt, except in the event of fraud, no individual officer, director, member, managing member, shareholder, equity holder, partner, employee, agent, or representative of either Party shall have any liability for any claims of the other Party related to this Agreement, or any agreements, certificates or instruments delivered in connection herewith, in any way.

9.10 Exclusive Remedy Post-Closing. With the exception of fraud and injunctive relief for specific performance or an action required under this Agreement post-Closing for any Transferred Facility, the exclusive remedy of any Party after a Closing with respect to Facilities involved in that Closing shall be indemnity under this Article IX. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the remedies under Article X shall remain for Facilities which have not become Transferred Facilities. For the avoidance of doubt, the Maximum Termination Payment shall not be a limit on any damages owed to Seller under this Article IX.

9.11 Application of Escrow Funds. Any payment Seller is obligated to make to Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Article IX or pursuant to Section 10.1 of the OTA shall be paid first, to the extent there are sufficient Escrow Funds, by release of Escrow Funds to Purchaser Indemnified Parties, as applicable, by Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, and shall accordingly reduce the Escrow Funds and, second, to the extent the Escrow Funds are insufficient to pay any remaining sums due, then Seller shall promptly pay all of such additional sums due and owing to Purchaser Indemnified Parties in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

ARTICLE X

TERMINATION AND BREACH

10.1 Termination and Breach Events. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in addition to the termination rights set forth in Section 6.9, this Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby (that have not yet had a Closing) abandoned at any time:

(a) by mutual written consent of Seller and Purchaser;

(b) by either Seller or Purchaser, upon prior written notice to the other Party, if the Initial Closing shall not have occurred by December 31, 2017 (the “Termination Date”); provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(b) shall not be available to any Party whose breach of representation or warranty or failure to fulfill in any material respect any covenants and agreements of such Party set forth in this Agreement was a cause of the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the applicable Termination Date;

(c) by either Seller or Purchaser (i) in the event that any Law shall have been enacted or Order issued by any Governmental Authority that directly prohibits the consummation of all Closings that have not occurred as of the date of such enactment or issuance, and such Law or Order shall have become final and non-appealable, or (ii) with respect to a particular Facility in the event that any Law

shall have been enacted or Order issued by any Governmental Authority that directly prohibits the consummation of the Closing with respect to such Facility, and such Law or Order shall have become final and non-appealable; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(c) shall not be available to any Party whose breach of representation or warranty or failure to fulfill in any material respect any covenants and agreements of such Party set forth in this Agreement was a cause of the failure of the event or condition giving rise to the right to terminate this Agreement;

(d) by either Seller or Purchaser if the other Party has (i) breached this Agreement in any manner that would result in a failure of a Closing Condition to be satisfied, or failed to Close upon satisfaction of its Closing Conditions, and (ii) failed to cure any such breach within thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice (a “Cure Right”) of such breach (which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the nature of such breach and the Party’s intention to terminate this Agreement if such breach is not cured); provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(d) shall not be available to any Party whose breach of representation or warranty or failure to fulfill in any material respect any covenants and agreements of such Party set forth in this Agreement was a cause of the failure of the event or condition giving rise to the right to terminate the Agreement; provided further that this right to terminate (and the restriction on a party’s right to terminate) shall not apply to Facilities for which a Closing has been delayed pursuant to Section 6.9 nor to Escrow Facilities or Operator Delay Facilities for such period as such Facilities are deemed to be either an “Escrow Facility” or “Operator Delay Facility” under this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in Section 10.4); and provided further that there shall be no Cure Right or right to extension for a failure to close by the Termination Date or Outside Date, or for the failure of a party to close upon satisfaction of its Closing Conditions;

(e) by Purchaser with respect to all Facilities that are not yet Transferred Facilities if a Material Adverse Effect occurs with respect to the remaining Facilities in all of the Portfolios, taken as a whole;

(f) by Purchaser with respect to a particular Portfolio (excepting any Facilities within such Portfolio that are Transferred Facilities), if a Material Adverse Effect occurs with respect to such Portfolio.

(h) by Seller or Purchaser with regard to any Facility that does not become a Transferred Facility by the Outside Date, even if such failure to become a Transferred Facility is the result of a breach or default of the Terminating Party (and in such event, with all applicable remedies of the non-terminating Party preserved).

10.2 Effect of Termination or Breach.

(a) Subject to Section 10.4, if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10.1(a), 10.1(b), 10.1(c), 10.1(e), 10.1(f)(with respect to such Facilities), or 10.1(g)(with respect to such Facility(ies)), 10.1(h)(with respect to such (Facility(ies)), none of the Parties shall be liable to the other Parties for any liabilities and damages that occurred prior to such termination, for Facilities that are not Transferred Facilities, other than liability for intentional, material breaches of this Agreement that occurred prior to such termination. Further, except in the event of liability for intentional and material breaches by Purchaser, Purchaser Parties, Purchaser Assignees, or OTA Transferees, if the Initial Closing has not taken place, the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, and if the Initial Closing has taken place, any remaining Deposit allocated to Facilities that have not yet become Transferred Facilities shall be returned to Purchaser.

(b) If an uncured material breach gives rise to a right of Seller or Purchaser to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(d), then:

(i) If Purchaser is the breaching Party, Seller shall have the right to keep the Deposit and be paid the Termination Payment as liquidated damages and terminate the Agreement, but shall not have the right to ▇▇▇ for damages or pursue specific performance. In the event the Initial Closing has occurred, Seller shall have the right to keep any remaining portion of the Deposit and be paid the Termination Payment as liquidated damages and terminate this Agreement, but such termination will only be with regard to the Facilities that are not yet Transferred Facilities; the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for all Transferred Facilities that have had a Closing. Within five (5) Business Days after a termination giving Seller the right to the Termination Payment pursuant to this Section 10.2(b)(i), Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid to Seller such Termination Payment. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT (a) IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL OR EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE SELLERS ACTUAL DAMAGES IN THE EVENT OF PURCHASER’S DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, AND (b) TAKING INTO ACCOUNT ALL OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING ON THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE SUM OF THE DEPOSIT AND THE TERMINATION PAYMENT IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SELLER’S ACTUAL DAMAGES IN SUCH EVENT. CONSEQUENTLY, IN THE EVENT OF PURCHASER’S DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT PRIOR TO CLOSING, SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AT LAW SHALL BE TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AND TO RECEIVE THE DEPOSIT AND THE TERMINATION PAYMENT, AND SELLER SHALL NOT IN ADDITION TO SUCH REMEDY HAVE ANY RIGHTS TO INDEMNIFICATION UNDER SECTION 9.3 FOR FACILITIES THAT ARE NOT TRANSFERRED FACILITIES.

(ii) If Seller is the breaching Party, Purchaser shall have the right to a return of the Deposit, terminate the Agreement, and ▇▇▇ for damages, or to pursue specific performance solely to require closing (but not to obtain money for losses; further, the Deposit shall be left in escrow pending the outcome of any action for specific performance). In the event the Initial Closing has occurred, Purchaser shall have the same rights but only with regard to the Facilities that are not yet Transferred Facilities; the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for all Transferred Facilities that have had a Closing. In the event that Purchaser is in material default under this Agreement (including any material default that is waived by Seller), then its remedy will be limited to termination and damages, and it shall have no further right to specific performance.

(c) Upon a termination, this Agreement shall become void and of no further force and effect, except for the provisions of Section 6.4(a)-(c) (relating to confidentiality, as if the Agreement had Closed), Article IX (relating to indemnification, Article X (relating to termination, breach, and damages, and any related provisions of the Agreement to the extent necessary to give effect to the remedies hereunder), and Article XI (relating to certain miscellaneous provisions). If this Agreement is terminated after the Initial Closing, then this Agreement shall become void and of no further force and effect with regard to any Facilities that are not yet Transferred Facilities, except for the provisions of Section 6.4(a) (relating to confidentiality), Article IX (relating to indemnification), Article X (relating to termination, breach and damages, and any related provisions of the Agreement to the extent necessary to give effect to the remedies hereunder), and Article XI (relating to certain miscellaneous provisions); provided, however, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for all Transferred Facilities that have had a Closing. Further, the non-disclosure agreement with BlueMountain Capital Management (“BMCM”) will remain in effect and obligations thereunder owed by BMCM will remain in place.

(d) So long as not the result of an intentional breach committed for the purpose of delaying a Closing, a Facility becoming an Escrow Facility shall not be a default or breach by Seller, and a Facility becoming an Operator Delay Facility shall not be a default or breach by Purchaser; provided, however, that the failure to return such Escrow Facility or Operator Delay Facility to eligible status for

Closing prior to the Outside Date shall give rise to the termination remedies provided in Sections 10.3 and 10.4, respectively, and the failure to make commercially reasonable, good faith efforts to return such Facility to eligible status for Closing shall be a breach giving rise to remedies pursuant to this Article X.

10.3 Escrow Facilities. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, in the event of a material breach by Seller or its Affiliate of its Representations and Warranties in Article IV, its covenants in Article VI with regard to one or more Facilities which breach does not rise to the level of a Material Adverse Effect under this Agreement, or the failure by a Facility to meet one or more of the closing conditions outlined in Section 7.1(a)(i)-(iii)(so long as not the result of any breach by Purchaser), or in the event of a material breach by Seller or its Affiliate of its representations, warrants or covenants in an OTA with regard to a Facility regardless of whether such breach rises to the level of a Material Adverse Effect as such term is defined in the OTA, then each such Facility as to which the breach or the failure to meet a closing condition relates shall be deemed an “Escrow Facility” (or collectively, “Escrow Facilities”). Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement or any Schedule attached hereto, all disclosures on Schedule 4.4(j) or on Schedule 4.8(e)-1 (but only regarding a denial of payment of new admissions or a scheduled exception to Section 4.8(e)-1(ii)) or Schedule 4.8(e)-2 of an OTA, as well as any Disclosure Update with respect to the foregoing (and with respect to a OTA as the term “Disclosure Update” is defined in such OTA), shall be disregarded for purposes of this Section 10.3 in determining whether the Facilities to which any such disclosure applies as of the applicable Closing Date shall be deemed Escrow Facilities. Closing on the Escrow Facilities (and payment of the Purchase Price allocated to the Escrow Facilities) shall be postponed until no later than the Outside Date, to allow Seller, as applicable, to use commercially reasonably efforts to cure the material breach and cause such Facilities to come back into compliance, and after the Initial Closing and subject to Section 6.9(e), closings shall proceed with respect to other Facilities that are not Escrow Facilities in accordance with Section 3.1. The Closing with respect to the Escrow Facilities pursuant to this Section shall take place on or before the last day of the month that is thirty (30) days after the cause for such Facility being deemed an Escrow Facility has been remedied; provided, however, the Closing Date for any Escrow Facility shall occur on or before the Outside Date. In the event the Closing with respect to any Escrow Facility does not occur on or before the Outside Date, then absent an agreement between the Parties to the contrary, this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Escrow Facility, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Transfer Value of such Facility under this Agreement, and any remaining Deposit allocated to such Facility shall be returned to Purchaser.

10.4 Effect of Failure of Purchaser to Satisfy Certain Closing Conditions or of OTA Transferee to Close under the OTA.

(a) In the event Purchaser fails to satisfy the Closing Condition set forth in Section 7.1(c)(v) in accordance with the timeline for Closing set forth in Section 3.1 (together with any Facility subject to Section 10.4(b) for which Regency is not the OTA Transferee, an “Operator Delay Facility”), (i) Purchaser shall use its good faith commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy such Closing Condition as promptly as practicable either with the initial OTA Transferee or, if the initial OTA Transferee is deemed by the relevant Government Authority to be incapable of satisfying such Closing Condition or if Purchaser otherwise determines in its sole discretion, with a substitute OTA Transferee to which the applicable OTA has been assigned, such substitute OTA Transferee to be selected by Purchaser in its sole discretion and reasonably acceptable to Seller (it being understood that an operator that is substantially similar to the OTA Transferees that have executed OTAs as of the Closing shall be deemed to be acceptable to Seller) (a “Substitute OTA Transferee”), and (ii) the Closing for such Operator Delay Facility shall be extended, subject to Section 10.4(c), until the earlier of (A) the last day of the month that is thirty (30) days after the month in which Purchaser has satisfied such Closing Condition as contemplated by this Section 10.4(a), or (B) the Outside Date. In the event Purchaser is unable on or prior to the Outside Date to satisfy the Closing Condition set forth in Section 7.1(c)(v) with respect to the initial OTA Transferee or a Substitute OTA Transferee then, at Seller’s option, Seller may terminate this Agreement with respect to such Operator Delay Facility, and the amount of the Deposit allocated to such Facilities in accordance with Section 2.5(b) and the Termination Payment shall be paid to Seller.

(b) In the event that either (x) an OTA Transferee fails to consummate the transactions contemplated by the applicable OTA in accordance with the timeline for Closing for the applicable Facility set forth in Section 3.1 and the applicable Facility is not an Escrow Facility or subject to a delayed Closing under Section 6.9 or (y) Seller terminates an OTA pursuant to Section 9.1(d) thereof, then (i) Purchaser shall use its good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable OTA to be assigned to a Substitute OTA Transferee as promptly as practicable, but in any event within forty-five (45) days of the failure of the prior OTA Transferee (provided any required acceptance by Seller with respect to the Substitute OTA Transferee has not been unreasonably withheld or delayed), and (ii) the Closing for such Facility shall be extended until the earlier of (A) the last day of the month that is thirty (30) days after the month in which such assignment occurs and the applicable Facility is otherwise eligible for Closing under Section 3.1, or (B) the Outside Date; provided that if Regency is the OTA Transferee, then Purchaser shall not have a substitution right under this Section 10.4(b). In the event such Closing does not occur on or prior to the Outside Date then, at Seller’s option, Seller may terminate this Agreement with respect to the applicable Facility and the amount of the Deposit allocated to such Facility in accordance with Section 2.5(b) and the Termination Payment shall be paid to Seller.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Purchaser shall not have the right under this Section 10.4 to designate more than two (2) Substitute OTA Transferees with respect to an individual Facility; provided that if Regency is the OTA Transferee, then Purchaser shall not have a substitution right under Section 10.4(b) (but for the avoidance of doubt shall have substitution rights with respect to Regency under Section 10.4(a)). In the event the second Substitute OTA Transferee with respect to a Facility is either deemed by the relevant Government Authority to be incapable of satisfying the Closing Condition set forth in Section 7.1(c)(v) or Regency or such Substitute OTA Transferee fails to consummate the transactions contemplated by the applicable OTA on or prior to the date on which the applicable Closing would otherwise have occurred under Section 10.4(b)(ii)(A), then, at Seller’s option, Seller may immediately terminate this Agreement with respect to the applicable Facility, and the amount of the Deposit allocated to such Facility in accordance with Section 2.5(b) and the Termination Payment shall be paid to Seller.

10.5 Third Party Reports Following Termination. In connection with any termination Purchaser agrees to promptly deliver to Seller an inventory of all third party reports commissioned by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates related to the Facilities or the Purchased Assets (including without limitation title reports, environmental surveys, zoning reports and the like)(collectively, the “Third Party Reports”). Upon request of Seller, Purchaser will assign and promptly deliver to Seller all or any portion of the Third Party Reports. In exchange for any such Third Party Reports assigned to Seller, Seller agrees to pay Purchaser fifty percent (50%) of the documented costs originally paid by Purchaser to the applicable third parties for such Third Party Reports.

MISCELLANEOUS

11.1 Disclosure Schedules. The information contained in the Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed to qualify to the specific Section (or subsection, as appropriate) of this Agreement to which it corresponds, and shall be cumulative so that if the existence of the fact or item or its contents disclosed in any particular Schedule is relevant to any other Schedule, then such fact or item shall be deemed to be disclosed with respect to the other Schedule to the extent such relevance is reasonably apparent whether or not a specific cross-reference appears. The headings contained in the Disclosure Schedules are included for convenience only, and are not intended to limit the effect of the disclosures contained in such Schedule or to expand the scope of the information required to be disclosed in such Schedule.

Descriptions of documents in the Schedules are summaries only and are qualified in their entirety by the specific terms of such documents. Matters reflected in the Disclosure Schedules are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be reflected herein; additional matters are set forth for informational purposes and the fact that any item of information is disclosed in the Disclosure Schedules shall not be construed to mean that such information is required to be disclosed by this Agreement. Any information and the dollar thresholds set forth herein shall not be used as a basis for interpreting the term “material” or other similar terms in this Agreement or constitute an admission that such items are required to be disclosed under this Agreement.

11.2 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each of the Parties shall bear its own expenses in connection with the negotiation and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, no expenses of Seller relating in any way to the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets hereunder and the transactions contemplated hereby, including legal, accounting or other professional expenses of Seller shall be charged to or paid by Purchaser or included in any of the Assumed Liabilities. No expenses of Purchaser relating in any way to the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets hereunder and the transactions contemplated hereby, including legal, accounting or other professional expenses of Purchaser shall be charged to or paid by any Seller or included in any of the Excluded Liabilities. The foregoing shall not limit, however, any Party’s right to include such expenses in any claim for damages against any other Party who breaches any legally binding provision of this Agreement to the extent provided in this Agreement. The Parties agree that in the event of a dispute as to whether Seller is entitled to the Termination Payment, the prevailing party shall be entitled to the recovery of its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs.

11.3 Entirety of Agreement. This Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedules and all other schedules and exhibits hereto which are incorporated into and are a part of this Agreement), together with any certificates and other instruments delivered hereunder, including the Closing Documents and the Transaction Documents, state the entire agreement of the Parties, merge all prior negotiations, agreements and understandings, if any, whether written or oral, and state in full all representations, warranties, covenants and agreements that have induced this Agreement. Each Party agrees that in dealing with third parties, no contrary representations will be made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the non-disclosure agreement (the “NDA”) executed by BMCM will remain in effect and obligations thereunder owed by BMCM are not superseded hereby.

or to such other address or to such other Person as either Party shall have last designated by such notice to the other Party. On or prior to the Closing Date with respect to a Facility, to the extent the right to acquire the Purchased Assets with respect to such Facility have been assigned to a Purchaser Assignee, Purchaser shall notify Seller of the notice address for Purchaser with respect to such Facility for use under this Section 11.4 from and after such Closing Date for all notices with respect to such Facility.

11.5 Amendments; Waivers. This Agreement may be modified or amended only by an instrument in writing, duly executed by Purchaser and Seller; provided, however, that this Section 11.5 and Sections 11.7(a), (d) and (e), 11.10, 11.11, and 11.15 (and any related definitions insofar as they affect such Sections) may not be amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified in a manner adverse to the Financing Sources, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Financing Sources (or, as applicable, one or more agents, trustees and/or other representatives on behalf of the Financing Sources and/or a sufficient number of the Financing Sources in accordance with the terms of the applicable commitment letter (including any “market flex” provisions applicable thereto) and/or the definitive agreements relating to the applicable Financing, as applicable). No waiver by any Party of any term, provision, condition, covenant, agreement, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement (or any breach thereof) shall be effective unless it is in writing executed by the Party against which such waiver is to be enforced. No waiver shall be deemed or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such term, provision, condition, covenant, agreement, representation or warranty (or breach thereof) on any other occasion or as a waiver of any other term, provision, condition, covenant, agreement, representation or warranty (or of the breach of any other term, provision, condition, covenant, agreement, representation or warranty) contained in this Agreement on the same or any other occasion.

11.6 Counterparts; Facsimile. For the convenience of the Parties, this Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each such executed counterpart shall be deemed an original and all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Facsimile or electronic .pdf transmission of any signed original counterpart transmission shall be deemed the same as the delivery of an original.

11.7 Assignment; Binding Nature; No Beneficiaries.

(a) This Agreement may not be assigned by any Party hereto (excluding any collateral assignment for the benefit of the Financing Sources and except as permitted by Section 6.17) without the written consent of the other Party hereto, except that (i) the indemnification and other rights hereunder of a Party may be assigned to any bank or other financial institution which is or becomes a lender to such Party or any of its successors and assigns and (ii) this Agreement or any portion hereof may be assigned by Purchaser to any of its Affiliates, any Purchaser Party or any Purchaser Assignee without the written consent of Seller or any Seller Party provided that Purchaser remains liable for any pre-closing obligations under this Agreement in accordance with Section 3.5. Any Purchaser Assignee, upon taking assignment, makes all applicable representations and warranties, and covenants to all applicable obligations, under this Agreement with regard to the Facilities and Purchased Assets being assigned to such Purchaser Assignee, except to the extent a Purchaser Assignee is not assigned or does not assume certain obligations under this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no assignment by Purchaser shall (i) expand any of Seller’s obligations and liabilities hereunder or change any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents; and (ii) be made if it would reasonably be expected to prevent, or materially impede, interfere with, hinder or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no assignment by Seller shall (i) expand any of Purchaser’s obligations and liabilities hereunder or change any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents; (ii) relieve Seller of liability to Purchaser for all obligations and liabilities to be performed by or on behalf of Seller hereunder or pursuant to the Transaction Documents with respect to Purchaser and its Affiliates; and (iii) be made if it would reasonably be expected to prevent, or materially impede, interfere with, hinder or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents.

(d) Except as otherwise set forth herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective heirs, personal representatives, legatees, successors and permitted assigns. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Article IX, this Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the Parties, the OTA Transferees and their respective heirs, personal representatives, legatees, successors and permitted assigns. Each OTA Transferee shall be a third party beneficiary of the representations and warranties of Seller under Article IV and the indemnification provisions of Article IX; provided, however, Seller shall have no obligation to indemnify (whether under Article IX or otherwise) both (i) Purchaser, or a Purchaser Party or an assignee of Purchaser, and (ii) an OTA Transferee with respect to any single Loss and shall not be required to pay duplicative damages. Further, Seller shall not owe obligations to more than one of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties with respect to any single Loss and shall not be required to pay duplicative damages. For avoidance of doubt, multiple Purchaser Indemnified Parties could incur separate Losses (i.e., not a “single Loss”) from the same matter for which indemnification is being sought.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Financing Sources shall be express third party beneficiaries of Section 11.7(a), (d) and (e) and Section 11.5, Section 11.10, Section 11.11, and Section 11.15, and each of such Sections shall expressly inure to the benefit of the Financing Sources and the Financing Sources shall be entitled to rely on and enforce the provisions of such Sections.

(f) In all of the foregoing instances of an assignment by Purchaser, prior to the applicable Closing, Purchaser shall act as the representative and agent for its Purchaser Parties and for any Purchaser Assignees, and Seller need only deal directly with Purchaser. By taking any assignment,

Purchaser Assignees acknowledge and agree that they shall be bound by the consents and any actions of Purchaser taken prior to the applicable Closing, and that Purchaser shall act as their agent and representative in connection with any modifications.

11.8 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not constitute a part hereof.

11.9 Construction. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises under this Agreement, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

11.10 Governing Law.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic Laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller (on behalf of itself, the Seller Parties and their respective Affiliates and the equityholders, directors, officers, employees, consultants, financial advisors, accountants, legal counsel, investment bankers, and other agents, advisors and representatives of each of them) and each of the other parties hereto agrees that any claim, controversy or dispute of any kind or nature (whether based upon contract, tort or otherwise) against a Financing Source that is in any way related to this Agreement, the Transferred Facilities, the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any dispute against a Financing Source arising out of or relating in any way to any Financing, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict of law principles (other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law); provided that (i) the interpretation of the definition of Material Adverse Effect and whether or not a Material Adverse Effect has occurred, (ii) the determination of the accuracy of any representations and warranties made in this Agreement and whether as a result of any inaccuracy thereof Purchaser or any of its Affiliates has the right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement, or to decline to consummate the transactions pursuant to this Agreement and (iii) the determination of whether the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in each case, shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted solely in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware in accordance with Section 11.10(a).

(c) The Parties hereby waive compliance with any applicable bulk sale or bulk transfer law or other analogous legislation in force in any jurisdiction of the U.S. in which the Purchased Assets are located.

11.11 Forum; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.6, in any Action between the Parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any Transaction Document or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, each of the Parties (i) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of either the state or federal courts located in the State of Delaware, except to the extent submission to the jurisdiction of a court in another state is necessary for an order of specific performance by a court in the State of Delaware to be enforced, and (ii) irrevocably consents to service of process by first-class certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid.

(b) Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury of any claim or cause of action in any legal proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement or any Financing or the transactions or events contemplated hereby or any course of conduct, course of dealing, statements (whether verbal or written) or actions of any Party or the actions of any Financing Source in connection with any Financing (including any action, proceeding or counterclaim against any Financing Source). The Parties each agree that any and all such claims and causes of action shall be tried by the court without a jury. Each of the Parties hereto further waives any right to seek to consolidate any such legal proceeding in which a jury trial has been waived with any other legal proceeding in which a jury trial cannot or has not been waived.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the Parties hereto agrees (on behalf of itself, its Affiliates and the equityholders, directors, officers, employees, consultants, financial advisors, accountants, legal counsel, investment bankers, and other agents, advisors and representatives of each of them) that it will not bring or support any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Financing Sources in any way relating to this Agreement, the Transferred Facilities, the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any dispute against a Financing Source arising out of or relating in any way to any Financing or the performance thereof or the transactions contemplated thereby, in any forum other than exclusively in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, or, if under applicable Law exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the federal courts, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (and appellate courts thereof).

11.12 Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided herein, the remedies provided for or permitted by this Agreement shall be cumulative and the exercise by any Party of any remedy provided for herein shall not preclude the assertion or exercise by such Party of any other right or remedy provided for herein.

11.13 Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.

11.14 Enforcement.

(a) The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that any breach of this Agreement could not be adequately compensated in all cases by monetary damages alone. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1 and subject to Section 10.2, the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity, but in all events subject to the limitations set out in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall not be entitled to specific performance of Purchaser’s obligation to consummate a Closing hereunder.

(b) Nothing set forth in this Section 11.14 shall require Seller to institute any proceeding for (or limit Seller’s right to institute any proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 11.14 prior or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Section 10.1, nor shall the commencement of any legal proceeding pursuant to this Section 11.14 or anything set forth in this Section 11.14 restrict or limit Seller’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Section 10.1 or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement.

(c) To the extent any Party brings any Action to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement (other than an Action to specifically enforce any provision that expressly survives termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1) when expressly available to such Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, each Termination Date shall automatically be extended by (i) the amount of time during which such Action is pending, plus twenty (20) Business Days, or (ii) such other time period established by the court presiding over such Action. The parties shall make commercially reasonable efforts to have such action expedited and given advance treatment on the court’s calendar.

11.15 No Recourse to Financing Sources. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller (on behalf of itself, its Affiliates and the equityholders, directors, officers, employees, consultants, financial advisors, accountants, legal counsel, investment bankers, and other agents, advisors and representatives of each of them) (a) acknowledges and agrees that it (and such other Persons) shall have no recourse against the Financing Sources, and the Financing Sources shall be subject to no liability or claims by Seller (or such other Persons) in connection with the Financing or in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, (b) waives any rights or claims of any kind or nature that Seller or any such other Persons may have against any Financing Source relating to this Agreement, the Financing, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and (c) agrees not to commence (and, if commenced, agrees to dismiss or otherwise terminate, and not to assist) any action, arbitration, audit, hearing, investigation, litigation, complaint, suit or proceeding against any Financing Source in connection with any of the foregoing. Without limiting the foregoing, no Financing Source shall be subject to any special, consequential, punitive, or indirect damages in connection with this Agreement, the Financing, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this paragraph is intended to or shall release the BMC Funds, Purchaser, Purchaser Parties, Purchaser Assignees, or OTA Transferees of any obligations under this and the related agreements, or release any of the foregoing or any Financing Source in any other relationships which may exist unrelated to the transactions contemplated hereby.
