20
aspects of all the Real Property, including, without limitation, the condition and suitability of all the Real Property for Purchaser’s intended use and operation of the Facilities, and Purchaser shall be obligated to acquire the Real Property in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

and Purchaser shall take title to the Properties with the assignment of such proceeds and subject to such damage to or destruction of such Property with a reduction of the Purchase Price equal to the amount of any deductible due under the terms of any applicable insurance policy (unless such damage is less than the insurance deductible, in which case the amount of the reduction in the Purchase Price shall be limited to the amount of the damage).
If the amount required to be expended to repair or restore such damaged or destroyed Property or portion thereof exceeds ONE MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($1,000,000.00) as of the Closing Date (in the aggregate across Properties), Purchaser shall have, as its sole and exclusive remedies: (i) the option to terminate this Agreement within fifteen (15) days following notice in writing from Seller to Purchaser of such casualty, in which event the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder (other than the obligations that survive the termination of this Agreement, including without limitation, the indemnity and confidentiality obligations set forth in Section 13 and Section 37, respectively) and the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money shall be returned to Purchaser, subject to Purchaser's satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 38; or (ii) if Purchaser fails to elect to terminate, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and in such event Seller shall assign to Purchaser any and all claims for the insurance proceeds of such damage to or destruction of such Property, and Purchaser shall take title to the Properties with the assignment of such proceeds and subject to such damage to or destruction of such Property with a reduction in the Purchase Price equal to the lesser of the amount of the insurance deductible or the amount of damage to such Property. If Purchaser does not elect to terminate within the fifteen (15) day period following such notice of the casualty by Seller, Seller and Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived all rights to terminate pursuant to this provision and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The provisions of this Section 18 supersede the provisions of Section 5-1311 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York, and the parties waive all rights thereunder that would be applicable absent the provisions of this Section 18.
19. Condemnation. Promptly upon obtaining knowledge of the institution of any proceedings for the condemnation of any part of any Property, Seller or Purchaser will notify the other of the pendency of such proceedings. In the event of the condemnation of any portion of any Property or the sale of any portion of any Property in lieu of condemnation, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and in such event Seller shall assign to Purchaser any and all claims for the proceeds of such condemnation or sale, and Purchaser shall take title to the remainder of the Properties with the assignment of such proceeds and subject to such condemnation and without reduction in the Purchase Price; provided, however, that if after such condemnation or conveyance in lieu thereof the remainder of the Properties would no longer be suitable for Purchaser's purposes, then the Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by notice in writing to Seller within fifteen (15) days following notice in writing by Seller of such condemnation of such Property, in which event the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder (other than Purchaser's obligations that survive the termination of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Purchaser's indemnity and confidentiality obligations set forth in Section 13 and Section 37, respectively) and the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money shall be returned to Purchaser, subject to Purchaser's satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 38. If Purchaser does not elect to terminate within said fifteen (15) day period following such notice by
25
Seller, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived all rights to terminate pursuant to this provision and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The provisions of this Section 19 supersede the provisions of Section 5-1311 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York, and the parties waive all rights thereunder that would be applicable absent the provisions of this Section 19. As used herein, the term “Substantial Portion” shall mean a condemnation or taking by eminent domain which (a) materially and adversely affects Purchaser’s operation of a facility, (b) materially and adversely affects access to, egress from or operation of the Property, (c) reduces the number of units at the Property or parking spaces at the Property such that a Facility shall be in violation of zoning requirements, (d) materially reduces the common areas or amenity space at the Property, or (e) results in the Property being in violation of any Applicable Law which violation cannot be cured.
20. The Closing. The closing (“Closing”) of this transaction shall take place at the offices of the Escrow Company on or before September 11, 2014 (“Closing Date”) or on the next business day, if such date falls on a weekend or legal holiday. The Closing shall occur simultaneously for all Properties, and Purchaser shall not have the right to buy less than all of the Properties. At Closing, the following shall occur:

If Escrow Company is unable to confirm to Seller receipt of the funds by such time, at Seller's option this Agreement shall terminate and Purchaser shall be deemed to be in default hereunder unless Purchaser is able to evidence to Seller's reasonable satisfaction that Purchaser has deposited and transferred the funds to the Escrow Company in the amount of the cash portion of the Purchase Price (i.e., a federal bank wire confirmation number), in which event Purchaser shall pay to Seller one (1) day's interest on the unpaid funds at the then current Federal Funds Rate for each and every day that the funds are not timely received, as set forth above, up to a maximum period of two (2) business days, after which, if funds have still not been received by the Escrow Company, Purchaser shall be in default hereunder and Seller may terminate the Agreement and thereafter, all of Seller's obligations to Purchaser hereunder will terminate.
(ii) Purchaser shall deliver to Escrow Company the Purchaser's Certificate set forth as Exhibit E attached hereto, duly executed and sworn by Purchaser.

(vii) Purchaser shall deliver to Title Company and/or Escrow Company such documentary and other evidence as may be reasonably required by them, evidencing the status and capacity of Purchaser and the authority of the person or persons who are executing the various documents on behalf of Purchaser in connection with this Agreement.
(viii) Purchaser shall deliver to Escrow Company the Transfer Tax Declarations, duly executed by Purchaser.
(ix) Purchaser shall deliver to Escrow Company the Closing Statement, duly executed by Purchaser.
(c) Prorations and Adjustments. The provisions of this section shall survive Closing and shall not merge with the Deeds. If at any time following the Closing Date the amount of an item listed in this Section 20(c) shall prove to be incorrect, the party in whose favor the error was made shall promptly pay to the other party the sum necessary to correct such error upon receipt of proof of such error, provided that such proof is delivered to the party from whom payment is requested on or before one (1) year after Closing.
(i) General real estate taxes, personal property taxes, unmetered water and sewer charges and vault charges, if any, and any and all other municipal or governmental assessments of any and every nature levied or imposed upon the Properties for the then current tax year, to the extent not paid by tenants, shall be prorated as of midnight of the day immediately preceding the Closing Date. If Closing occurs before the actual taxes for the then current year are known, the apportionment of taxes shall be upon the basis of taxes for the Properties for the immediately preceding year, provided that, if the taxes for the current year are thereafter determined to be more or less than the taxes for the preceding year (after any appeal of the assessed valuation thereof is concluded), Seller and Purchaser promptly shall adjust the proration of such taxes and Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall pay to the other any amount required as a result of such adjustment. All special taxes or assessments actually assessed prior to the Closing Date shall be prorated as set forth above, and those assessed after the Closing Date shall be paid by Purchaser. All taxes imposed due to a change of use of any Property after the Closing Date shall be paid by Purchaser. With respect to any property tax appeals or reassessments filed by Seller or Seller’s predecessors in interest for tax years prior to the year in which Closing occurs, Seller shall be entitled to the full amount of any refund or rebate resulting therefrom, and with respect to any property tax appeals or reassessments filed by Seller or Purchaser for the tax year in which the Closing occurs, Seller and Purchaser shall share the amount of any rebate or refund, resulting therefrom (after first paying to Seller or Purchaser,
28
as applicable, the costs and expenses incurred by Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, in pursuing such appeal or reassessment) in proportion to their respective periods of ownership of the Properties for such tax year. If, as of the Closing Date, Seller is protesting or has notified Purchaser, in writing, that it has elected to protest any taxes for the Properties (each, a “Tax Protest” and collectively, the “Tax Protests”), then Purchaser shall take over and continue to prosecute such Tax Protest after the Closing Date. Concurrent with the Closing, (i) Seller shall assign any Tax Protest(s) to Purchaser, and (ii) Purchaser shall assume any such Tax Protest(s). After the Closing, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue any Tax Protest(s).
(ii) Seller shall be entitled to all payments and rents (including any accrued tax and operating expense escalations or other reimbursements, if any, due under Leases (the “Additional Payments”)), charges, and other revenue of any kind, including community fees and any other service fees, under the Leases, and under the Management Agreement attributable to any period prior to and including the Closing Date. Purchaser shall be entitled to all payments and rents (including Additional Payments), charges and other revenue of any kind, including community fees and any other service fees, from the Properties attributable to any period after the Closing Date. Rents and Additional Payments collected prior to the Closing Date and attributable to both Seller's and Purchaser's period of ownership shall be prorated as of the Closing Date (provided that for any such proration to occur, Seller must have taken actual physical possession of such sums). Uncollected rents and expense escalations or other reimbursements due landlord under the Leases shall not be prorated at the time of Closing, but Purchaser shall make a good faith effort to collect the same on Seller's behalf and to tender the same to Seller upon receipt, provided that Purchaser shall not be obligated to bring suit or commence any other legal action or proceedings for collection and all rents, and Additional Payments collected by Purchaser on or after the Closing Date shall first be applied to all amounts due at the time of collection (i.e., current rents and sums due Purchaser as the current owner and landlord) with the balance (if any) payable to Seller, but only to the extent of amounts delinquent and actually due Seller. For the period of six (6) months following the Closing Date, each party agrees that they will provide each other with any information reasonably required to enable either party to complete its billing to residents and other payers. The party being assisted agrees to reimburse the party rendering assistance for any reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the assisting party in rendering such assistance.
(iii) The present insurance coverage on the Properties shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and there shall be no proration of insurance premiums.
(iv) All other income from, and expenses of, the Properties, including but not limited to operating expenses, public utility service, maintenance charges, and service charges shall be prorated as of the Closing Date (except for those utility charges and operating expenses payable by tenants in accordance with the Leases).
(v) All security deposits pursuant to the Leases and pre-paid rent under the Leases shall be transferred (or credited against the Purchase Price) by Seller to Purchaser at Closing; on the Closing, Purchaser shall in writing acknowledge receipt of and expressly assume
29
all of Seller’s financial and custodial obligations with respect to such deposits pursuant to the Leases and pre-paid rent so transferred, it being the intent and purpose of this provision that, at Closing, Seller will be relieved of all fiduciary and custodial obligations arising after the Closing with respect to such transferred funds (to the extent that Purchaser has received a credit at Closing with respect thereto).
(vi) Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, Purchaser and Seller agree that all cash other than unapplied security deposits under the Leases regardless of whether held by Seller or Licensed Operator, shall be and remain the property of Seller without any credit to Purchaser or adjustment to the Purchase Price, including without limitation, cash on hand, working capital, operating accounts, reserves, reserve accounts and entrance fees.
(vii) Other Prorations.
1 | Water rates and charges and sewer taxes and rents shall be prorated as of the Closing Date, except to the extent required to be paid by tenants at the Properties directly to the entity imposing same, pursuant to Leases in effect as of the Closing Date; and |
2 | Permit, license and inspection fees, if any, with respect to the licenses and permits in effect for the Properties shall be prorated as of the Closing Date on the basis of the fiscal year for which levied, if the rights with respect thereto are transferred to Purchaser at Closing. |
(viii) Post-Closing Reconciliation Process. Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date (or with respect to taxes, promptly after the date that the new tax rate is fixed), Purchaser and Seller shall jointly prepare a proposed initial statement of reconciliation itemizing the following: (i) all costs, charges and expenses paid by one party with respect to the Properties that are properly allocable to the other party; and (ii) all service fees actually collected by either party with respect to the Properties (the “Initial Reconciliation”) and to whom such fees should be properly allocated. The Initial Reconciliation shall include appropriate detail to identify the items being adjusted. A proposed final reconciliation of all expenses, costs, charges, and service fees shall be jointly prepared by Purchaser and Seller within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date (or with respect to taxes, thirty (30) days after the new tax rate is fixed, the “Final Reconciliation”). Throughout the period leading up to the Initial Reconciliation and the Final Reconciliation, each party shall provide to the other party any information it may receive regarding the revenue and expense items described in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section 20(c)(ix). The Final Reconciliation shall appropriately reflect the net amount owed to Purchaser or to Seller as a result of such reconciliation. After approval by both parties of the Final Reconciliation, the party determined to owe cash as a result of such Final Reconciliation shall promptly pay such cash to the other party. In the event the parties have not agreed with respect to the adjustments required to be made pursuant to this Section 20(c)(ix) within
30
thirty (30) days following the Final Reconciliation date, upon application by any such party, a certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to the parties shall determine any such adjustments which have not theretofore been agreed to between such parties. The fees and expenses of the accountants shall be borne one-half each by Seller and Purchaser.
(d) Closing Costs.
(i) Any escrow fee charged by the Escrow Company shall be paid one-half by Seller and one-half by Purchaser.
(ii) Seller shall pay the premiums for the standard coverage portion of the Title Policy. If Purchaser desires ALTA extended coverage for the Title Policy (to the extent extended coverage is available), Purchaser shall pay the premiums and any additional costs (including any survey costs) for such coverage (additional to the premiums for standard coverage) and the cost of any endorsements to the Title Policy, if required by Purchaser. In addition, Purchaser shall pay all mortgage taxes payable in connection with any financing Purchaser may obtain.
(iii) Seller shall pay for the New York State Real Property Transfer Tax.
(iv) Purchaser shall pay for all other transfer charges.
(v) Purchaser shall pay all costs incurred in connection with Purchaser’s updating or recertifying the existing Surveys or obtaining any new surveys for the Real Property.
(vi) Each party shall be responsible for the payment of its own attorneys' fees incurred in connection with the transaction which is the subject of this Agreement.
(e) Promptly after consummation of the Closing and sale of the Properties, (i) possession of the Properties shall be given to Purchaser, subject to the rights of tenants under the Leases and the Residency Agreements, (ii) Seller shall deliver to Purchaser all keys to all locks on the Properties within Seller's possession, (iii) to the extent within Seller's or Licensed Operator’s possession and located at the Properties, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser all of the executed Leases, Residency Agreements, lease guaranties, tenant files in the management office, binding related commission agreements on any Lease, and service contracts not canceled as of the Closing Date, and (iv) owned vehicles will be included in the ▇▇▇▇ of Sale, but Seller will endeavor to provide, before or after Closing, duly executed instruments necessary to transfer title to all owned vehicles included in the FF&E. In addition, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law (and to the extent in Seller’s possession), Seller shall deliver possession to Purchaser of any and all records (including those in electronic form) or written documents relating to the residents of the Facilities at Closing, including but not limited to, all contracts, applications, billing records, regulatory records, health records, assessments and correspondence relating to the residents. To the extent Applicable Law requires Seller to retain originals of any records or written documents relating to the residents of the Facilities, Seller shall deliver copies in lieu of originals. After Closing, Purchaser will retain all such materials in accordance with Purchaser’s
31
policies and procedures for record retention for its own records and will provide Seller and Licensed Operator with copies of, and with access to originals of (but only to the extent such originals are then in Purchaser’s possession or control, and otherwise copies), all such materials, to the extent permitted by law (it being agreed that the parties will enter into a business associate agreement or similar arrangement, on customary terms reasonably acceptable to the parties, if and only to the extent necessary to allow such copies or access). The provisions of this Section will survive Closing.
21. Default; Remedies.
(a) Seller Default. IF SELLER DEFAULTS IN ITS OBLIGATIONS TO SELL AND CONVEY THE PROPERTIES TO PURCHASER PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND IF PURCHASER IS NOT THEN IN DEFAULT HEREUNDER AND IS READY, WILLING AND ABLE TO CONSUMMATE THIS TRANSACTION, THEN PURCHASER SHALL HAVE, AS ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, THE RIGHT TO EITHER TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AND RECEIVE THE ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ MONEY, OR ▇▇▇ FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE, PROVIDED THAT IN ORDER TO ▇▇▇ FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE (i) PURCHASER MUST FOREVER WAIVE ANY CLAIM TO ▇▇▇ SELLER FOR DAMAGES FOR ANY BREACH OF SELLER'S OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, (ii) PURCHASER WILL NOT BE, IN ANY SUCH SUIT FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE, ENTITLED TO ANY OFFSET OR REDUCTION IN THE PURCHASE PRICE, AND (iii) PURCHASER MUST FILE SUIT FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER THE SCHEDULED DATE FOR CLOSING.
(b) Purchaser Default. IF PURCHASER FAILS TO ACQUIRE THE PROPERTIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY REASON, EXCEPT SELLER'S DEFAULT IN ITS OBLIGATIONS TO SELL AND CONVEY THE PROPERTIES TO PURCHASER PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT BY PURCHASER OR SELLER PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 8 AND 9 OF THIS AGREEMENT, RESPECTIVELY, THEN SELLER, AS ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, MAY TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AND RECEIVE THE ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ MONEY AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES BUT ONLY UPON SATISFACTION OF THE CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN SECTION 38. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT SELLER WILL SUFFER DAMAGES IN THE EVENT OF PURCHASER'S DEFAULT ON ITS OBLIGATIONS. ALTHOUGH THE AMOUNT OF SUCH DAMAGES ARE DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE, THE PARTIES, AFTER DUE NEGOTIATION, AGREE THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ MONEY IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SELLER'S LOSS IN THE EVENT OF PURCHASER'S DEFAULT. THUS, SELLER SHALL ACCEPT AND RETAIN THE ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ MONEY AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES BUT NOT AS A PENALTY. SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES SHALL CONSTITUTE SELLER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. IN THE EVENT SELLER IS ENTITLED TO THE ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ MONEY AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, THE ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ MONEY SHALL BE PAID TO SELLER BY THE TITLE COMPANY ON THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY AFTER RECEIPT OF (1) WRITTEN NOTICE FROM SELLER THAT PURCHASER HAS DEFAULTED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND (2) THE RELEASES
32
REQUIRED BY SECTION 38 HEREOF, AND PURCHASER AGREES TO TAKE ALL SUCH ACTIONS AND EXECUTE AND DELIVER ALL SUCH DOCUMENTS NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE TO EFFECT SUCH PAYMENT.
BY PLACING THEIR INITIALS IMMEDIATELY BELOW, PURCHASER AND SELLER FURTHER AGREE THAT THE ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ MONEY PAID HEREUNDER IS A REASONABLE SUM FOR LIQUIDATED DAMAGES CONSIDERING ALL CIRCUMSTANCES AS OF THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT. THE PAYMENT OF SUCH AMOUNT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FOREFETURE OR PENALTY. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 21(b) SHALL (A) PREVENT OR PRECLUDE ANY RECOVERY OF ATTORNEYS’ FEES OR OTHER COSTS INCURRED BY SELLER PURSUANT TO SECTION 26 (BUT SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH NEGOTIATING THIS AGREEMENT PRIOR TO THE EFFECTIVE DATE) OR (B) IMPAIR OR LIMIT THE EFFECTIVENESS OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF PURCHASER CONTAINED IN SECTIONS 13(d) AND 22(b) HEREOF. SELLER AND PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 21(b) AND BY THEIR INITIALS IMMEDIATELY BELOW AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS.

22. Real Estate Commissions.
(a) Seller hereby agrees to pay a real estate commission to Onyx Capital Corporation (“Broker”) in an amount as provided in one or more separate agreements between Seller and Broker if this transaction closes, but not otherwise (it being understood that the payment of the Purchase Price to Seller and the performance of all of Purchaser's obligations hereunder to Seller are conditions precedent to Seller's obligation to pay any commission to Broker and conveyance of the Properties to Purchaser). No commission shall be paid by Seller to Broker if the transaction contemplated by this Agreement fails to close for any reason. Purchaser hereby agrees to pay a real estate commission to Broker in an amount as provided in one or more separate agreements between Purchaser and Broker if this transaction closes, but not otherwise.

Each party hereto agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other party from and against any and all, losses, liens, claims, judgments, liabilities, costs, expenses or damages (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) of any kind or character arising out of or resulting from any agreement, arrangement or understanding alleged to have been made by such party or on its behalf with any
33
broker or finder in connection with this Agreement or the transaction contemplated hereby, other than Broker. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Section 22(b) shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement, and shall not merge with the Deeds.

24. Assignment. Purchaser shall not have the right to assign its interest in this Agreement without obtaining the prior written consent of Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge and agree that Purchaser intends to assign the Agreement as it relates to each Facility to separate entities formed for the purpose of acquiring and owning each Facility and, accordingly, Purchaser shall have the right without the prior consent of Seller to assign this Agreement as it relates to each Facility to an affiliate of Purchaser or to an affiliate or subsidiary
35
