(e)      All contracts and agreements relating directly or indirectly to the construction, ownership, use, occupancy or operation of the Facilities that have been designated by Buyer on Schedule 1.1(e) as Assigned Contracts pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof (collectively, together with the Residency Agreements, the “Assigned Contracts”);

 

(f)      All operating data and records related to the ownership, use, occupancy or operation of the Facilities, including books, records, sales and sales promotional data, advertising and marketing materials (including camera-ready art), prospect lists, operating handbooks, manuals and procedures, medical records and medical information concerning residents of the Facilities, supplier lists, business plans and reference catalogs (collectively, the “Records”);

 

(g)      All trademarks, trade names, service marks and registered user entries relating to the ownership, use, occupancy or operation of the Facilities (including, but not limited to, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the names “The Sweet Life,” “The Sweet Life at Shawnee,” and “The Sweet Life at Rosehill” and any similar names or derivations thereof), and all of Seller’s right, title and interest in any application for any of the foregoing, and, to the extent transferable, all of Seller’s right, title and interest under permits, licenses, franchises and similar authorizations used by Seller in connection with the use, ownership, occupancy or operation of the Facilities (collectively, the “Rights”);

1.2       Excluded Assets from Purchase and Sale of Assets . Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall retain all of Seller’s right, title and interest in the following described assets (collectively, the “Excluded Assets”):

Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, Buyer will not assume, and the Assets shall be transferred free and clear of, any debts, liabilities, obligations, expenses, taxes, contracts, liens, encumbrances (other than the hereinafter described Permitted Exceptions) or commitments of any kind, character or description, whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise, and whether or not reflected or reserved against in Seller’s books of accounts or records. Pursuant to Article XI hereof, Seller will indemnify Buyer against, and hold it harmless from, any such obligations and liabilities, other than the Assumed Liabilities.

 

ARTICLE II.

CONSIDERATION

 

2.1       Purchase Price . Subject to the adjustments set forth in Section 2.3 , the purchase price (“Purchase Price”) for the Assets shall be Twenty-nine Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($29,500,000.00).

 

2.2       Payment of Purchase Price . The Purchase Price shall be paid as follows:

 

(a)      Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000.00) (the “Earnest Money”), which has been paid to First American Title Insurance Company as escrow agent (“Escrow Agent”), which amount (together with interest thereon) shall be credited against the Purchase Price at the Closing.

 

(b)      At the Closing, Buyer shall pay Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) (the “Holdback Amount”) to a national banking association as the closing escrow agent pursuant to the terms of the escrow agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Closing Escrow Agreement”) as security for Seller’s obligations and liabilities under this Agreement.

 

 

(c)      At the Closing, Buyer shall pay to Seller the balance of the Purchase Price in immediately available funds, either by wire transfer or cash, subject to a credit for the Earnest Money (together with interest thereon) and the Holdback Amount, and further subject to the adjustments required by Section 2.3 hereof.

 

The Earnest Money shall be at all times held by the Escrow Agent in an interest-bearing account, and any reference to the “Earnest Money” shall also be deemed to include such interest. Seller, Buyer and the Escrow Agent have entered into a mutually-satisfactory escrow agreement prior to the deposit of the Earnest Money with the Escrow Agent. The costs of the escrow arrangement with Escrow Agent shall be split equally between Buyer and Seller.

 

2.3       Adjustment to Purchase Price . At the Closing, the following adjustments shall be made as of 11:59 p.m. on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), and shall be added to or deducted from the Purchase Price, as the case may be:

 

(a)      Real and personal property ad valorem taxes upon the Assets assessed for the year in which the Closing occurs (regardless of when due and payable) shall be prorated as of the Closing Date, and the portion allocable to Seller shall be deducted from the Purchase Price. If the amount of such taxes for the year in which the Closing occurs cannot reasonably be determined, the apportionment shall be based at the Closing upon a reasonable estimation thereof, which shall be based upon the amount of such taxes for the immediately preceding tax year, together with any reasonably anticipated changes thereto. Any back taxes (including penalties and interest) assessed for any year prior to the year in which the Closing occurs shall be paid in full by Seller at the Closing, and shall be affirmatively insured against by the Title Company (as hereinafter defined) in a manner satisfactory to Buyer. Special assessments, if any, due and payable prior to, or contemporaneously with, the Closing shall be paid by Seller at the Closing.

 

(b)      All salaries, wages, compensation, employee benefits, unemployment taxes, withholding taxes, FICA payments, and vested or accrued sick, vacation or holiday pay, for all personnel employed in the operation, use, ownership or maintenance of the Facilities (collectively, the “Employees”) shall be prorated as of the Closing Date, and the portion allocable to Seller shall be deducted from the Purchase Price. Buyer shall assume responsibility for payment of such amounts as and when they become due.

 

(c)      All utility expenses incurred in the operation or ownership of the Facilities prior to and including the Closing Date (including, without limitation, water, sewer, gas, electricity, telephone or other utility charges) shall be paid by Seller at the Closing, and shall not be assumed by Buyer; provided, however, that, to the extent that it is not reasonably practicable to pay such utility expenses (or any of them) at Closing, the amount thereof shall be prorated, and the portion allocable to Seller shall be deducted from the Purchase Price.

 

 

(d)      All prepaid resident fees and other prepaid items constituting revenues from the operation of the Facilities shall be prorated as of the Closing Date and the portion allocable to Buyer shall be deducted from the Purchase Price. All prepaid items constituting expenses of or from the operation of the Facilities shall be prorated as of the Closing Date and the portion allocable to Buyer shall be added to the Purchase Price; provided, however, that such prepaid expenses shall be added to the Purchase Price only to the extent that such expenses actually benefit the Facilities and the Buyer following the Closing Date.

 

(e)      Without duplicating any other adjustments pursuant to this Section 2.3 , all Assumed Liabilities shall be prorated as of the Closing Date, and the portion thereof accruing prior to the Closing Date shall either be paid by Seller at Closing from the Purchase Price or shall be deducted from the Purchase Price.

 

It is the intention of the parties that the Transactions (as hereinafter defined) be treated as being economically effective as of the Closing Date, with all profit, income, revenues, costs and expenses relating to the operation of the Facilities on and after the Closing Date, accruing to the benefit or detriment of Buyer; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.3 shall affect or impair Seller’s indemnity obligations under Article XI for matters occurring or arising prior to the Closing Date. All adjustments and allocations shall be made in cash at the Closing. Where adjustments are based on estimates, such estimates shall be made reasonably and in good faith to approximate (exactly as possible) expected results; but there shall be readjustments between Seller and Buyer as soon as practicable after such actual figures are available. Buyer shall prepare a detailed summary of such adjustments, allocations and, if applicable, readjustments.

 

2.4       Assigned Contracts . On or before the expiration of the Inspection Period, Buyer shall determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, which Contracts (as hereinafter defined) will be assumed by Buyer, and will provide Seller with Schedule 1.1(e) specifically identifying such contracts to be included as Assigned Contracts.

The Land, including all soils, ground waters and service waters located on, in, under or (to the best of Seller’s knowledge) adjacent to the Land, is not contaminated with Hazardous Materials. As used herein, the term “Hazardous Materials” means gasoline, motor oil, fuel oil, waste oil, other petroleum or petroleum-based products, asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls (“PCBs”) and any chemical, material or substance to which exposure is prohibited, limited or regulated by any federal, state, county, local or regional authority or which, even if not so regulated, is known to pose a hazard to health and safety, including but not limited to substances and materials defined or designated as “hazardous substances,” “hazardous materials” or “toxic substances” under applicable federal, state or local Law.
