with partial termination, title insurance and real estate
conveyance tax provisions of this Agreement, and nothing contained
in this Agreement on Exhibit C shall negatively impact the
treatment or construction of this Agreement or the Lease as a
unitary transaction covering the portfolio of all twelve (12)
Facilities as a group. The Purchase Price may be adjusted
post-closing pursuant to the terms of the Earn Out Agreement. The
cumulative value of the FF&E (to the extent constituting
personal property or trade fixtures) and other personal property
sold as a part of the Properties is less than ten percent (10%) of
the Purchase Price and must be reasonably acceptable to Buyer at
Closing.
4. Closing Date
. The Closing shall take place on or
before October 31, 2008, or such other date mutually agreed to by
Buyer and Seller Parties (the “ Closing Date ”), in escrow with the Title Company, or at
Buyer’s election, at the offices of Buyer’s attorney in
Nashville, Tennessee at such time as is mutually acceptable to
Buyer and Sellers, or at such other location mutually agreeable to
the parties. The parties shall use reasonable efforts to have the
Closing occur on or before June 30, 2008, but such date may be
extended as necessary to October 31, 2008.
5. Termination and Partial
Termination.
5.1 Termination . If any party (for this purpose, Seller Parties
as one party and Buyer as the other party) has a right to terminate
this Agreement prior to Closing under the terms of this Agreement
and exercises that right to terminate this Agreement, then this
Agreement shall automatically terminate upon notice of such
exercise given to the other party, whereupon all parties shall
thereupon be relieved of all further liability hereunder, except as
otherwise expressly provided under this Agreement.
5.2 Termination Event. A
“ Termination Event ” shall mean the
occurrence after the Effective Date of any of the following events
as to any Facility: (a) a material adverse change in or discovery
concerning the environmental condition of any real property
included in the
9
Properties or the business, operations
or financial condition of the Buyer, the Seller Parties
(collectively) or any Facility; (b) a Casualty Termination Event or
Condemnation Termination Event shall occur; (c) any material lien
or any material encumbrance is imposed upon any of the Facilities
which will not be satisfied or removed at Closing; (d) any material
due diligence information furnished by the Sellers or their
Affiliates with respect to any of the Facilities proves to be
untrue in any material respect; or (e) there is a material defect
regarding the title (including survey matters) as to a particular
Property that Buyer has objected to pursuant to Section 6.3, and
which Sellers parties are unable or unwilling to cure/remove. Upon
the occurrence of a Termination Event, subject to the terms of
Section 14 as to a Condemnation Termination Event and Section 15 as
to a Casualty Termination Event, Buyer shall have the right
(“ Termination
Right ”) to
either: (i) terminate this Agreement as to all the Properties prior
to Closing (“ Agreement Termination Right
”) by delivering notice thereof
to Sellers and Tenant and thereupon this Agreement shall
automatically terminate upon notice of such exercise given to the
other party, whereupon all parties shall thereupon be relieved of
all further liability hereunder, except as otherwise expressly
provided under this Agreement or (ii) exclude the affected Facility
and related Property (“ Excluded Property ”) from this Agreement (“
Partial Termination
Right ”) by
delivering notice thereof to Sellers and Tenant (“
Partial Termination
Notice ”), and
thereupon this Agreement shall terminate as to the Excluded
Property, the parties shall thereupon be relieved of all further
liability hereunder with respect to the Excluded Property, the
Excluded Property shall be removed from the Lease and any other
documents to be delivered at Closing (with the applicable rent and
other provisions appropriately modified by reason of such removal),
and the Purchase Price under this Agreement shall be adjusted as
provided in the following sentence. Upon the exercise of a Partial
Termination Event, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the
amount allocated to that Facility as set forth in Exhibit C
. Notwithstanding the foregoing and unless otherwise agreed by
Buyer and the Seller Parties, upon a Condemnation Termination Event
or Casualty Termination Event, only the Partial Termination Right
shall be applicable, and if the Termination Event is based on the
material adverse change in the business, operations or financial
condition of the Buyer or Seller Parties (other than of a
particular Facility), then the Partial Termination Right shall not
be applicable. If Buyer exercises any Partial Termination Right or
other right so as to exclude more than two (2) Facilities or to
terminate this Agreement as to more than two (2) Facilities, in the
aggregate (i.e., so that there remain fewer than ten (10)
Facilities in the Property to be conveyed at Closing), Seller
Parties shall also have an Agreement Termination Right to terminate
this Agreement prior to Closing by delivering notice thereof to
Buyer within five (5) days after the conditions to this right
occur, and if this Agreement Termination Right is not exercised by
Seller Parties, and Buyer exercises any additional Partial
Termination Right or other right so as to exclude another Facility
or to terminate this Agreement as to more than three (3)
Facilities, in the aggregate (i.e., so that there remain fewer than
nine (9) Facilities in the Property to be conveyed at Closing),
Seller Parties shall have an additional Agreement Termination Right
to terminate this Agreement prior to Closing by deliverying notice
thereof to Buyer within five (5) days after the conditions to this
right occur. Upon exercise of any such Agreement Termination Right
by Seller Parties, this Agreement shall automatically teminate upon
notice of such exercise given to Buyer, whereupon all parties shall
thereupon be relieved of all further liability hereunder, except as
otherwise expressly provided under this Agreement. Buyer agrees to
use reasonable efforts to keep Eby apprised of issues or matters
that may constitute Termination Events and of Buyer’s
intentions regarding the exercise of any Termination Right under
this Agreement, as well as of material concerns expressed by the
Lender which may result in the failure of Buyer to obtain the loans
for Closing.
10
5.3 Effect of Termination on
Payment of Fees and Expenses. Except as specifically set forth
in this Agreement, the Seller Parties shall pay all out-of-pocket
costs and expenses incurred by the Buyer in connection with the
proposed purchase of the Properties, including the costs of due
diligence review, regardless of whether or not the closing of the
Properties occurs, including without limitation legal expenses,
audit of the Facilities for the calendar year 2007, cash flow audit
of the Facilities, third party due diligence reports such as
structural, environmental, appraisal and third party consultants as
well as surveys, title review and insurance, environmental and
engineering reports, lien searches, title transfer taxes and
recording fees. In the event that the closing of the Properties
does not occur solely as a result of either (i) the Buyer
arbitrarily refusing to complete the closing of the Properties
after the Effective Date or (ii) the Buyer refusing to complete the
closing of the Properties in good faith as a result of information
obtained in the Buyer’s due diligence review that is not
material to the operation of one or more Facilities: (A) the
foregoing sentence shall not apply and each party shall pay its own
fees and expenses, and (B) the Buyer shall, (1) to the extent not
contractually restricted from doing so, return to the Sellers all
third-party due diligence reports obtained by the Buyer and
relating to the Sellers’ business and (2) refund to the
Sellers an amount equal to the sum of the following: (A) any
amounts previously paid by the Sellers to the Buyer as a deposit
for fees and expenses in connection with this Agreement or the
Option Agreement and not yet expended by the Buyer and (B) any
amounts for fees and expenses in connection with this Agreement
previously expended by the Sellers up to an amount equal to but not
exceeding Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000). This Section shall
survive a termination of this Agreement.
6. Title and Survey
Matters.
6.1 Title Commitment . Buyer shall obtain for each Facility Premises,
at Sellers’ expense: a commitment (the “
Title Commitment
” and collectively, the “ Title Commitments ” )
for an ALTA Owner’s Title Insurance Policy (2006 Form)
showing title to the applicable Premises in the respective Seller
and proposing to insure Buyer in the amount of the Purchase Price
allocated to that Facility Premises in Exhibit C and for the
aggregate Purchase Price as to the Properties, issued by the Title
Company. At closing, the Title Company shall commit to issue to the
Buyer the owner title policies with all title endorsements
requested by Buyer or Lender, specifically including, but not
limited to: survey, zoning, comprehensive, access and
contiguity.
6.2 Survey .
Sellers shall obtain and provide to Buyer a current
“as-built” survey for each Facility Premises (the
“ Survey ” and collectively, the “
Surveys
”) with the seal and signature
thereon of an engineer or surveyor registered in the State in which
the applicable Facility Premises is located, which Survey shall,
except as waived by Buyer or the Title Company (a) include and show
the metes and bounds description of the Premises, (b) be certified
to the respective Seller, Lender, Tenant, Buyer and the Title
Company in a manner satisfactory to all such parties, (c) show the
location and dimension together with recording information of all
easements which encumber or are appurtenant to the Premises, and
whether the same are encroached upon by the Improvements or shall
interfere with the use of, or access to, the Premises and the
Improvements, or cross the property of others in the absence of
properly recorded easements therefor, (d) show the location and
dimension of the Improvements
11
(including the location and number of
any parking spaces), (e) indicate whether there exists any
violation of height and building restrictions and setback and
parking requirements, (f) be accompanied by a certificate from the
surveyor in a form reasonably acceptable to Buyer, (g) comply with
the most recent ALTA /ACSM minimum standards and any optional items
from Table A required by Buyer, and (h) the survey certification
shall be dated not earlier than sixty (60) days prior to the
Effective Date (except to the extent earlier surveys are accepted
by the Title Company, Buyer and Lender.
6.3 Title and Survey Objections
. If Buyer objects to any matter
relating to the Title Commitments or Surveys, Buyer may give notice
to Seller Parties specifying such objections not later than thirty
(30) days after the Effective Date (the “
Title/Survey Objection
Date ”). If Buyer
does make written objection, then Seller Parties shall notify Buyer
in writing whether Seller Parties will cause the removal of any
such matters from title or the Surveys, as the case may be;
provided, however, that except with respect to monetary liens or
monetary encumbrances (which must be paid from the sales proceeds
and released of record at Closing or provision made for delayed
receipt of release documents as may be satisfactory to the Title
Company, Buyer and Lender), Sellers shall be under no obligation to
cause the removal of such matters. If Seller Parties elect not to
cause such matters to be removed, or fail to provide Buyer with a
notice within five (5) days after receipt of Buyer’s
objections that Seller Parties will or will not cause the removal
of such matters, then Buyer (i) may, provided a Termination Event
as defined in Section 5.2(e) has occurred, exercise a Partial
Termination Right as to the affected Property or Properties, or if
there is more than one Property suffering from a material title or
survey defect, terminate this Agreement as to all the Properties at
Buyer’s election, all in the same manner as provided in
Section 5.2 with respect to an Agreement Termination Right or
Partial Termination Right, as the case may be, or (ii) may elect,
by written notice given to Seller Parties, to take title to the
Properties as it then is without any set-off or deduction of any
kind against the Purchase Price. If Seller Parties do not receive
written notice of Buyer’s election to terminate this
Agreement within ten (10) days after Buyer’s receipt of such
notice from Seller Parties (or the expiration of the ten (10) day
period, as the case may be), then Buyer shall be conclusively
presumed not to have elected to take title as it then is, and this
Agreement shall terminate. In the event that Seller Parties elect
to cure any title or survey matter to which Buyer has objected,
then the parties agree to postpone the Closing Date for a
reasonable period, not to exceed thirty (30) days, if required to
enable Seller Parties to complete the cure of such matter. The
parties agree to discuss any survey or title objections identified
by Buyer hereunder and to use reasonable efforts to resolve such
issues.
7. Agreed Documents for Execution
at Closing and Sioux City II Sale Agreement . Attached hereto are forms of the Major Documents
(as defined below) required for Closing on which the parties are in
substantial agreement. Within fifteen (15) days after the date
hereof (“ Document
Form Date ”), the
parties agree to finalize the form of the Major Documents in good
faith and in a mutually acceptable manner, and if the parties are
not able to agree upon the final form of any of the Major Documents
by the Document Form Date, either Buyer or Seller Parties may
terminate this Agreement by notice to the other. The parties shall
confirm their agreement upon the final forms of the Major Documents
and the Other Forms (as defined below), by attaching such forms as
exhibits to this Agreement and confirming such addition by consent
or amendment, executed by the parties. At Closing the Major

agreed, with all schedules, exhibits and blanks for each
such
12

as are mutually agreeable to the parties thereto. With respect to
the Other Forms, to the extent that such form documents are not
attached as exhibits to this Agreement as of the Effective Date,
the parties agree that the forms hereafter to be attached as
exhibits to this Agreement shall be substantially similar to the
comparable documents executed and delivered by Care and Sioux City
II at the closing under the Sioux City II Purchase Agreement, as
appropriate and as applicable. The parties agree to finalize the
form of the Other Forms (although not the separate forms adapted
for each Facility) not later than the Document Form Date.
Thereafter, for execution and delivery in connection with Closing,
the Other Forms will be appropriately completed for each Facility
and modified as appropriate for the applicable jurisdiction in
which the Facility is located to comply with the laws or conveyance
practices of the applicable Facility State. Buyer and Seller
Parties also agree to negotiate in good faith the terms of, and
Care and Sioux City II shall execute and deliver, the Sioux City II
Sale Agreement on or before the Document Form Date.
