(d)      The Buyer and the Sellers shall agree upon an allocation of the Purchase Price (and all other capitalized costs) and the amount of the Assumed Liabilities among the Purchased Assets consistent with Section 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”), and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder prior to Closing, which allocation shall be attached hereto as Schedule 2.4(d) .

On or before expiration of the Investigation Period, the Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion, for any reason whatsoever, by notice to the Sellers on or before expiration of the Investigation Period, shall have the right, at its option, to terminate this Agreement on or before such date in which event the Earnest Money Deposit will be refunded to the Buyer upon delivery of the documents referred to below and neither party shall have further liability to the other on account of this Agreement, provided however, that the Buyer shall within ten (10) days of such termination, return to the Sellers, or certify to Sellers Buyer’s destruction of, all documents and materials delivered to the Buyer by the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 2.5(a) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

The Sellers shall have the right to have a representative present during any such inspections. If the Buyer desires to do any invasive testing of the Real Property, the Buyer shall do so only after notifying the Sellers and obtaining the Sellers’ prior written consent thereto, which may be subject to reasonable terms and conditions as may be proposed by the Sellers. The Buyer shall not permit any liens to attach to any portion of the Real Property prior to the Closing Date. The Buyer shall (i) restore the Real Property, at its own expense, to the same condition which existed prior to any inspections or other activities of the Buyer thereon; and (ii) be responsible for and pay any and all liens by contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, or laborers performing the inspections or any other work pursuant to the Buyer’s investigation of the Facility.

The provisions of this Section 2.5(b) shall survive any termination of this Agreement and a closing of the transaction contemplated hereby.

 

Section 2.6   Closing Adjustments .

 

(a)      Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 2.6 , all revenues and expenses of the Facility applicable to the period of time before and after the Closing shall be allocated between the Sellers and the Buyer as provided herein. Pursuant to such allocation, the Sellers shall be entitled to all revenue (other than Accounts Receivable, Entrance Fee Receivables and receivables of the Health Center Operator) and shall be responsible for all expenses for the period of time up to but not including the Closing Date, and the Buyer shall be entitled to all revenue and shall be responsible for all expenses for the period of time from, after and including the Closing Date. Such allocations and adjustments shall be shown on the closing statement to be executed by the parties on the Closing Date (with such supporting documentation as the parties hereto may reasonably require being attached as exhibits to the closing statement) and shall increase or decrease (as the case may be) the cash amount payable by the Buyer to the Sellers at Closing. All prorations shall be made on the basis of the actual number of days in the year and month in which the Closing occurs or in the period of computation. No prorations or allocations shall be made with respect to Entrance Fee Receivables, Accounts Receivable or receivables of the Health Center Operator, except to the extent specifically set forth in Section 2.6(c) of this Agreement.

 

(i)      Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the following items of revenue and expense shall be allocated and prorated at Closing: utility charges; water and sewer charges; real estate taxes and all other public and governmental taxes, charges and assessments; charges for oil and heating services; charges under the Transferred Contracts; and assessments against the Real Property or the Facility or its operations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer shall be responsible for establishing new utility accounts with its vendors to be effective on the Closing Date.

 

(ii)      The Sellers shall be responsible for payments owing on deliveries made prior to the Closing Date. The Buyer shall be responsible for payments owing on deliveries made on or after the Closing Date.

 

(iii)      The Sellers shall receive a credit for any prepaid expenses in connection with any Assumed Liabilities on or after the Closing Date. The Buyer shall receive a credit for that portion of any monthly fees paid to the Sellers or the Health Center Operator prior to the Closing Date under the Life Care Contracts, the HC Occupancy Agreements, or other contracts with residents that relate to periods from and after the Closing Date.

 

(b)      The Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price for the amount of all accrued (vested or unvested) vacation, personal time, time off, holiday or sick leave for the Transferred Employees on the Closing Date. To the extent that any Transferred Employee is terminated by the Buyer (or its manager or lessee) as a result of the Buyer (or its manager or lessee) not receiving a satisfactory post-closing background check, drug test or license verification for such Transferred Employee, then the Buyer (or Buyer’s manager, lessee or other designee) shall promptly following such termination pay to the Sellers an amount equal to the

 

 

closing credit for accrued (vested or unvested) vacation, personal time, time off, holiday or sick leave attributable to such terminated Transferred Employee to the extent Sellers have the legal obligation to pay such terminated Transferred Employee such amount.

 

(c)      The Purchase Price due to Sellers shall be increased by an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the amount of Accounts Receivable transferred to Buyer at Closing that is less than 90 days outstanding by .95. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for purposes of this Section 2.6(c) , Accounts Receivable shall not include any deferred entrance fees deducted from Master Trust Debt pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition thereof.

 

(d)      If the parties ascertain any error in any adjustment following Closing or if certain adjustments are approximated to facilitate Closing, the parties covenant and agree to promptly readjust such items when the correct information becomes available.

 

(e)      Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price for the amount, if any, required to complete the items designated on Schedule 6.1(b)(viii) as “Ongoing” or “Planned” (i.e., all items not designated on such Schedule as being “Completed”) that are not actually completed as of the Closing Date, provided, however, that the credit, if any, for the final three items set forth on such schedule (Kitchen A/C Repairs, Veranda Dining Room Remodeling and Paint Ext. of Landings) shall be equal to the lesser of the cost to complete such items or the bid price for such items set forth on such Schedule.

 

(f)      If Buyer, in its sole discretion, elects to proceed with the Closing even though the Remediation has not been completed, Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price, in an amount reasonably agreed upon by the Sellers and Buyer at that time, in the amount required to complete the Remediation that is not actually completed as of the Closing Date.

 

(g)      If accurate allocations cannot be made at Closing because current bills are not obtainable (as, for example, in the case of utility bills and/or real estate or personal property taxes), the parties shall allocate such revenue or expenses at Closing on the best available information, subject to adjustment upon receipt of the final bill or other evidence of the applicable revenue or expense. The obligation to make the adjustment shall survive the Closing of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Any revenue received or expense incurred by the Sellers, the Buyer or Health Center Operator with respect to the Facility after the date of Closing shall be promptly allocated in the manner described herein and the parties shall promptly pay or reimburse any amount due. If the Buyer and the Sellers are unable to agree on the closing statement allocations on the Closing Date, the Closing shall occur and a preliminary closing statement shall be signed with respect to such amounts and issues that are agreed upon by the Buyer and the Sellers. With respect to any closing statement amounts or issues that are not agreed upon at Closing, the Sellers and the Buyer shall thereafter work in good faith to resolve, allocate or prorate such amounts or issues; provided that if such amounts or issues are not fully agreed upon and paid within ninety (90) days after the Closing, then, in such event, such amounts or issues shall be submitted to an independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to the Buyer and the Sellers for final resolution and the Buyer and the Sellers agree to be bound by the determination of such accountant. The costs and expenses incurred in connection with the services of such accountant shall be borne and paid equally by the Sellers,

 

 

on the one hand and the Buyer, on the other hand. The provisions of all of Section 2.6 shall survive the Closing.

 

Section 2.7   Security, Waiting List and Sale Deposits . From and after the Closing, the Sellers shall be relieved of any and all responsibility in connection with Security, Waiting List and Sale Deposits held by the Sellers on behalf of residents, tenants or patients and any other funds of the residents, to the extent that such Security, Waiting List and Sale Deposits and funds are actually delivered to the Buyer or Buyer receives a credit therefor against the Purchase Price and are included in the Assumed Liabilities, and, to that extent, the Buyer shall indemnify the Sellers and their Affiliates and hold them harmless from and against any claim, liability, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by them with respect thereto. The provisions of this Section 2.7 shall survive the Closing.

 

Section 2.8   Transfer Taxes . The Buyer shall pay all Transfer Taxes; provided, however , that the Sellers shall use reasonable efforts to avail themselves of any available exemptions from any such Transfer Taxes and shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer to reduce such Transfer Taxes to the extent legally permissible. Each of the Sellers, the Buyer and their respective Affiliates shall execute and deliver all instruments and certificates as are necessary to enable such other parties to comply with any filing requirements relating to any such Transfer Taxes. 

 

Section 2.9   Transferred Contracts . On or before the expiration of the Investigation Period, the Buyer shall determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, which Contracts that are not already included in clauses (i) through (iii) of the definition of Transferred Contracts will be assumed by Buyer, and will provide Sellers with a Schedule 2.9 specifically identifying such additional Contracts to be included as Transferred Contracts. 

 

Section 2.10   Third Party Consents for Transferred Contracts

 

(a)      Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all Consents reasonably requested by the Buyer and required for the transfer of the Transferred Contracts to Buyer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any Transferred Contract or any claim, right or any benefit arising under or resulting from such Transferred Contract if an attempted assignment thereof, without the Consent of a third party, would constitute a breach, default or violation of such Transferred Contract. If any transfer or assignment by the Sellers or any of their Affiliates to, or any assumption by the Buyer of, any interest in, or obligation, liability or commitment under, any Transferred Contract requires the Consent of a third party, then such transfer, assignment or assumption shall be made subject to such Consent being obtained.

 

(b)      If any such Consent is not obtained prior to the Closing Date, the Closing shall nonetheless take place on the terms set forth herein. In which event, the Buyer may, with respect to each Transferred Contract for which a Consent has not been so obtained, cause the Sellers to provide or cause to be provided all commercially reasonable assistance to the Buyer (not including the payment of any consideration) reasonably requested by the Buyer to secure such Consent after the Closing and cooperate with the Buyer (at the Buyer’s expense) in any lawful and commercially reasonable arrangement reasonably proposed by the Buyer under which

 

 

(x)      the Buyer shall obtain (without infringing upon the legal rights of such third party or violating any applicable law) the economic claims, rights and benefits under the subject Transferred Contract(s), and (y) the Buyer shall assume any related economic burden (including the amount of any related Tax costs imposed on the Sellers or any of their Affiliates) with respect to the subject Transferred Contract and the claims, rights or benefits arising under or resulting from the subject Transferred Contract(s) agreement.

 

(c)      Notwithstanding Section 2.10(b) to the contrary, with respect to any Consent that is identified by Buyer on or before the end of the Investigation Period as a required Consent (“ Required Consent ”), Buyer may elect with respect to each Transferred Contract for which the Required Consent has not been obtained, to either cause Sellers to comply with Section 2.10(b) or elect to have the Sellers retain the subject Transferred Contract(s) and all liabilities and obligations associated therewith (in which event, such Transferred Contract(s) shall be considered to be an Excluded Contract(s) and all such liabilities and obligations shall be included in Excluded Liabilities).
