Such access will be available to Buyer during normal business hours, upon notice, in such manner as will not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of the Property. Seller will make available to Buyer such additional data and other available information regarding the Property as Buyer may reasonably request. Those books, records and files which relate to the Property that are not transferred to Buyer shall be preserved and maintained by Seller for two (2) years after the Closing, or such greater amount of time required by Applicable Law, and those books, records and files relating to the Property the possession of which is being transferred to Buyer hereunder shall be maintained and preserved by Buyer for a period of two (2) years after the Closing, or such greater amount of time required by Applicable Law.

ARTICLE VII

CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO THE

OBLIGATION OF BUYER TO CLOSE

Buyer’s obligation to close pursuant to the terms of this Agreement is subject to the satisfaction, on or prior to the Closing, of each of the following conditions, unless waived by Buyer in writing:

7.1 Accuracy of Representations and Warranties; Closing Certificate. Except for any changes permitted by the terms of this Agreement or consented to in writing by Buyer, each of the representations and warranties made by Seller in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant to Section 9.2(e) that is qualified as to Knowledge or materiality shall be true and correct in all respects when made and shall be true and correct in all respects at and as of the Closing as though such representations and warranties were made or given on and as of the Closing, and each of such representations and warranties that is not qualified as to Knowledge or materiality shall be true and correct when made and shall be true and correct in all material respects at and as of the Closing as though such representations and warranties were made or given on and as of the Closing.

7.2 Performance of Agreement. Seller shall have performed in all material respects all of its covenants, agreements and obligations required by this Agreement to be performed or complied with by it prior to or upon the Closing.

7.3 No Adverse Change. No change or development shall have occurred which has materially and adversely affected, or is reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect, the Property.

7.4 Intentionally Deleted.

7.5 Title Insurance and Survey.

(a) Within five (5) days after the execution of this Agreement, Buyer shall order commitments for owner’s policies of title insurance (the “Title Commitment”) issued by the Title Insurer covering fee simple title to the Property, in which the Title Insurer shall agree to insure, in such amount as Buyer deems adequate, merchantable title to such interests free from the Schedule B standard printed exceptions and all other exceptions except for (i) exceptions which, under applicable state rules and regulations, cannot be deleted or modified and (ii) Permitted Exceptions, with such endorsements as Buyer shall reasonably require and with insurance coverage over any “gap” period. Such Title Commitments shall have attached thereto complete, legible copies of all instruments noted as exceptions therein, and shall be delivered promptly to Buyer upon receipt by Seller. Buyer shall furnish Seller with a copy of the title commitment and attachments, and all subsequent revisions thereof, promptly upon receipt of same.

 

- 23 -


(b) If (i) any of the Title Commitments reflect any exceptions to title other than Permitted Liens which are not acceptable to Buyer in Buyer’s sole discretion, or (ii) the Survey to be obtained by Buyer pursuant to Section 7.5(d) below discloses anything not acceptable to Buyer in Buyer’s sole discretion, or (iii) at any time prior to the Closing, title to Seller’s interests in the Property is encumbered by any exception to title other than Permitted Liens, which was not on the initial Title Commitment for the Property and is not acceptable to Buyer in Buyer’s sole discretion (any such exception or unacceptable statement of fact being referred to herein as a “Title Defect”), then Buyer shall, on or before the earlier of five (5) days before the end of the Due Diligence Period or ten (10) days following receipt of such Title Commitment, as the case may be, give Seller written notice of such Title Defect (the “Title Notice”). Such Title Notice shall include a copy of the relevant Title Commitment and copies of the exceptions. Any exception to title that is (x) disclosed in the Title Commitment, or (y) identified on a Survey, which, in either case, is not identified as a Title Defect in the Title Notice, shall be deemed to be a “Permitted Exception” for purposes of this Agreement. Seller shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of any such Title Notice, notify Buyer whether Seller will take the action necessary to remove the Title Defects. On or before the Closing, Seller shall provide Buyer with reasonable evidence of removal of the items it notifies Buyer that it will cure (the “Agreed Upon Title Defects”). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the following items (the “Required Cure Items”) must be cured prior to or at Closing (with Seller having the right to apply the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to either such party pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof, or a portion thereof, for such purpose): (x) all mortgages, security deeds, and other security instruments except for the Existing Mortgages, (y) all past Taxes, and (z) all judgments against the Seller which may constitute a Lien.

(c) In the event (x) the Agreed Upon Title Defects specified are not cured on or before the Closing, (y) a Required Cure Item is not cured on or before the Closing, or (z) if Seller does not timely notify Buyer that Seller will remove Title Defects within the ten (10) days as specified above (in which case Buyer shall make its election pursuant to this subsection (c) prior to five (5) days following the date of such Title Notice), Buyer shall have the option to:

 

  (i) accept Seller’s interest in the Real Property subject to such Title Defect(s) or Required Cure Item(s), in which event such Title Defect(s) or Required Cure Item(s) shall become part of the Permitted Exceptions, and to close the transaction contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

 

  (ii) pay any amount necessary to cure the Agreed Upon Title Defect or Required Cure Item(s) and deduct such amount from the Purchase Price; provided that such deduction shall not exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00); or

 

  (iii)

by giving Seller written notice of Buyer’s election, terminate this Agreement, in which event no party shall have any further rights or obligations to the other hereunder, except for such rights and

 

- 24 -


  obligations that, by the express terms hereof, survive any termination of this Agreement. If Buyer elects to proceed with the Closing without giving notice of its election of this option (ii), it will be deemed to have accepted such Title Defect(s) or Required Cure Item(s)as Permitted Exceptions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in section shall limit the right of the Buyer to pursue any and all remedies provided in Section 11.2 of this Agreement as a result of Seller’s default.

(d) Seller will provide Buyer with copies of any existing boundary surveys for the Property. Buyer may, at its sole cost, order one or more boundary surveys for the Property (the “Survey”) prepared by a registered land surveyor or surveyors satisfactory to Buyer.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller covenants and agrees that at or prior to Closing, Seller shall (i) pay or cause to be paid in full and cause to be canceled and discharged or otherwise bond and discharge as liens against the Property all mechanics’, materialmen’s, repairmen’s, contractors’ or other similar Liens which encumber the Property as of the Effective Date created by, through or under Seller or which may be filed against the Property after the Effective Date created by, through or under Seller and on or prior to the Closing Date (ii) pay or cause to be paid in full all past due ad valorem taxes and assessments of any kind constituting a lien against the Property which are due and payable, and (iii) pay or cause to be paid in full, or cause to be canceled and discharged all security deeds or other security instruments encumbering the property and created by or through Seller, except for the Existing Mortgages and to the extent Buyer otherwise assumes any of the obligations secured by such instruments, and all judgments which have attached to and become a lien against the Property by, through or under Seller. In the event Seller fails to cause such liens and encumbrances to be paid and canceled at or prior to Closing, Buyer shall be entitled to pay such amount to the holder thereof as may be required to pay and cancel same, and to credit the amount so paid against the Purchase Price allocated to the Buyer pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in section shall limit the right of the Buyer to pursue any and all remedies provided in Section 11.2 of this Agreement as a result of Seller’s default.

(f) At Closing, the Title Insurer shall be prepared to issue a title insurance policy in accordance with the Title Commitment, with all endorsements reasonably required by Buyer and with coverage over any “gap” period.

(g) All Title Expenses shall be paid by the parties in accordance with Section 9.4 hereof. “Title Expenses” shall include all costs and expenses of obtaining the Survey and Title Commitment, together with any endorsements required by any lender financing the Buyer’s acquisition of the Property. “Title Expenses” shall exclude any costs and expenses incurred or required to be incurred to cure any Title Defects or Required Cure Items.

7.8 Licenses.

(a) Buyer shall have obtained, at the Buyer’s sole cost and expense, in the Post-Closing Licensee’s own name, the Licenses, and Seller shall, and shall cause Existing Manager to, reasonably cooperate with the Post-Closing Licensee in obtaining such Licenses at or prior to Closing. Buyer shall diligently pursue all required Licenses.

(b) In the event any regulatory authority (i) asserts that there are violations and require repairs or alterations to be made to cure such violations, or (ii) assesses fines as a result of operational issues and require such fines to be paid prior to issuing Licenses to the Post-Closing Licensee or prior to confirming to Buyer that the Licenses are in place, no material violations exist, and the Property is in good standing, the Seller’s performance of all such required repairs and alterations at Seller’s expense and payment of any and all such fines by Seller shall be a material obligation of Seller and condition to Buyer Closing. If any operational changes are required by any such regulatory authority as a condition to issuing a License, Seller’s implementation of such action at Seller’s expense shall be a material obligation of Seller and condition to Buyer Closing. If Seller fails to take such foregoing actions, Buyer shall have the remedy available under Section 11.2(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller disputes the validity of any notice or claim of violation or any fine, Seller may appeal and defend against the notice, claim or fine, and Seller will have the right to extend the Closing Date as necessary to do so but in no event in excess of the maximum number of days provided for in Section 9.1.

7.9 Termination of Existing Management Agreement. Buyer shall have received from Seller evidence reasonably satisfactory to Buyer that any existing management agreement between the Existing Manager and the Seller has been terminated without fee or cost to Buyer.

7.13 Loan Assumption Approval. Buyer shall have obtained approval from Fannie Mae for assumption of the Existing Mortgages on terms that are reasonably acceptable to Buyer with terms that, in the aggregate are substantially similar to the current terms of the Existing Mortgages, other than interest rates, which shall reflect current market rates and Buyer’s credit profile and which shall include the Mortgage Release.

ARTICLE X

INDEMNIFICATION

10.1 General. The rights to indemnification set forth in this ARTICLE X and the other rights described in this Agreement shall be in addition to all other rights to monetary damages that any party (or the party’s successors or permitted assigns) would otherwise have by Applicable Law in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Document; provided, however, that neither party shall have the right to be compensated more than once for the same monetary damage.

10.2 Indemnification by Seller. From and after Closing, Seller shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Buyer and its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, Affiliates, successors and assigns from and against, and pay or reimburse each of them for and with respect to, any Loss relating to, arising out of or resulting from any of the following:

(a) Any breach by Seller of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement;

(b) The ownership, operation or control of the Property prior to the Closing, including without limitation, any and all liabilities which relate to events occurring prior to the Closing, regardless of when they are asserted or whether such was disclosed to Buyer and regardless of whether such was a breach of any representation, warranty, or covenant by Seller, except for (i) Assumed Obligations, (ii) obligations, indebtedness or liabilities to the extent of any Adjustment Amount credited to Buyer, and (iii) obligations or liabilities which Seller, not later than thirty (30) days following the Effective Date, expressly disclosed to Buyer in writing and for which Seller expressly advised Buyer in writing that Seller would not agree to remain liable therefore following Closing; and

(c) Claims by any other party claiming to have represented Seller as broker or agent in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

- 30 -


10.4 Administration of Indemnification. For purposes of administering the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 10.2 and Section 10.3, the following procedure shall apply:

(a) Whenever a claim shall arise for indemnification under this ARTICLE X, the party entitled to indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give a reasonably prompt written notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) setting forth in reasonable detail, to the extent then available, the facts concerning the nature of such claim and the basis upon which the Indemnified Party believes that it is entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(b) In the event of any claim for indemnification resulting from or in connection with any claim by a third party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, at its sole expense, either (i) to participate in defending against such claim or (ii) to assume the entire defense with counsel which is selected by it and which is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, provided that no settlement shall be made and no judgment consented to without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If, however, (x) the claim, action, suit or proceeding would, if successful, result in the imposition of damages for which the Indemnifying Party would not be solely responsible, or (y) representation of both parties by the same counsel would otherwise be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, then the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the entire defense and each party shall be entitled to retain counsel who shall cooperate with one another in defending against such claim. In the case of clause (x), the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to bear only that portion of the expense of the Indemnified Party’s counsel that is in proportion to the damages indemnifiable by the Indemnifying Party compared to the total amount of the third-party claim against the Indemnified Party. In the case of clause (y), the Indemnifying Party shall pay all costs of defense of both itself and the actual out-of-pocket costs of the Indemnified Party.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party does not choose to defend against a claim by a third party, the Indemnified Party may defend in such manner as it deems appropriate or settle the claim (after giving notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party) on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate, and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to periodic reimbursement from the Indemnifying Party of defense expenses incurred and prompt indemnification from the Indemnifying Party in accordance with this ARTICLE X.

(d) Failure or delay by an Indemnified Party to give a reasonably prompt notice of any claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect an Indemnifying Party’s obligations with respect to the claim, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party can demonstrate actual Loss or prejudice as a result of such failure or delay.
