The Purchasers shall at all times conduct such due diligence in compliance (in all material respects) with Applicable Law and the terms of the Residency Agreements and Tenant Leases, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to not cause damage, loss, cost or expense to the Sellers, the

 

27


Facilities or the Residents or unreasonably interfere with or disturb any Resident. To the extent of any damage caused by the Purchasers or the Purchasers’ Representatives to any Facility, the Purchasers shall promptly restore such Facility to its condition immediately preceding such inspections and examinations, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and shall keep each Facility free and clear of any mechanic’s liens or materialmen’s liens arising as a result such inspections and investigations.

(d) The Sellers shall approve any request for a physical inspection or examination of any Facility (and shall be deemed to have approved the same) so long as (i) the Purchasers shall have provided to the Seller of such Facility not less than forty-eight (48) hours prior notice of the same (which notice may be given telephonically on a Business Day); (ii) the Purchasers shall have delivered to the Sellers a certificate of insurance showing that the Purchasers maintain a commercial general liability insurance policy having a combined liability limit of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) and property damage limits of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) and (iii) such proposed inspection or examination shall not unreasonably interfere with such Facility’s operations. Any insurance policy required by this subsection shall be written by an insurance company licensed to do business in the state where the Facility is located, name the Sellers as additional insureds, and contain a waiver of any rights of subrogation against the Sellers.

(e) The Purchasers shall indemnify, defend, and hold the Sellers harmless for, from, and against any and all claims and liabilities, including costs and expenses for loss, injury to or death of any of the Purchasers’ Representatives (waiving all limitations under workers’ compensation), and any loss, damage to or destruction of any property owned by the Sellers or others (including claims or liabilities for loss of use of any property) resulting primarily from the action or inaction of any of the Purchasers’ Representatives during any visit to the Real Property prior to the Closing Date, pursuant to this Section 4.3. The Purchasers’ indemnity obligation set forth in this Section 4.3(d) shall survive the termination or Closing of this Agreement.

(f) The activities contemplated by this Section 4.3 shall be referred to as the “Due Diligence Investigation.”

Section 4.4 Compliance With Laws. The Sellers shall comply in all material respects with all Applicable Law in conjunction with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and the ownership, operation and maintenance of the Facilities prior to and through the Closing.

Section 4.5 Taxes. The Sellers shall properly and timely file (including extensions pursuant to properly and timely filed extension documents where permitted) all federal, state and local tax returns, and, to the extent applicable, estimates and reports, and the Sellers shall timely pay all amounts then due for all taxes for all periods through and including the Closing Date to the extent due and payable at any time prior to and through the Closing Date and otherwise to the extent necessary to transfer the Assets to the Purchasers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

28


Section 4.6 No Disposition of Assets. Other than sales of food and supplies in the ordinary course of business, the Sellers shall not sell, lease or otherwise dispose of or distribute, or permit the creation or imposition of any Liens (except for Permitted Liens) on, any of the Assets or properties related thereto or necessary for operation of the Facilities; provided, however, the Sellers may (i) lease portions of the Facilities to Residents and tenants pursuant to agreements in the forms of Residency Agreements and Leases, respectively, provided to the Purchasers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and (ii) dispose of the Inventory in the ordinary course of business so long as the Sellers restock and replenish such Inventory consumed or used during the term of this Agreement with Inventory of comparable quality in accordance with the Sellers’ prior practices.

Section 4.7 Further Documentation. Pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement, the Sellers agree that for a two (2) year period of time following the Closing, upon reasonable request by the Purchasers, the Sellers will do, execute, acknowledge, and deliver, or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged, and delivered, all such further acts, deeds, assignments, transfers, conveyances and assurances as may be reasonably required, without enlarging or extending any liability of the Sellers beyond what is otherwise contemplated by this Agreement in any manner and without requiring the expenditure of funds by the Sellers, in order to more fully assign, grant, transfer, convey, assure and confirm to the Purchasers, or to their successors and assigns, or for aiding and assisting in collecting and reducing to possession, any or all of the Assets to be sold to the Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement or transitioning the operations of the Facilities to the Purchasers.

Section 4.8 Title Insurance and Surveys.

(a) Prior to the Effective Date, the Sellers have provided to the Purchasers title commitments for each Real Property (collectively, the “Title Commitments”), issued by Lawyers Title Insurance Company (the “Title Company”), which Title Commitments contain commitments of the Title Company to issue to the Purchasers ALTA forms of owner’s title insurance policies insuring fee title of the Purchasers in such Real Property, together with legible copies of all recorded exceptions to title referred to therein. Each Title Commitment shall be in the amount allocated to the Real Property as set forth in Section 1.7 of the Disclosure Letter. Attached hereto as Exhibit 4.8(a) is a schedule of (i) the Title Commitments (the “Initial Commitments”) and (ii) each survey (the “Initial Surveys”) for each Real Property provided by the Sellers or obtained by the Purchasers.

(b) In the event that any update to any Initial Commitment or Initial Survey prior to or on the Closing Date for any Real Property reveals any new matter not previously shown or disclosed on such Initial Commitment or such Initial Survey (each, a “New Title Matter”), the Purchasers shall have the right to approve or disapprove in writing and in their reasonable discretion such New Title Matter within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the update to the Initial Commitment or Initial Survey, as applicable (which period may extend beyond the scheduled Closing and the Purchasers shall have the right to extend the Closing Date, if necessary, in accordance with the terms of this

 

29


Section 4.8), with any such notice of disapproval specifying the New Title Matter to which the Purchasers object (such notice being referred to herein as the “Title Objection Notice”). The failure of the Purchasers to disapprove any New Title Matter within said ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed a waiver by the Purchasers of any right to object to such New Title Matter and such New Title Matter shall be deemed approved by the Purchasers and shall be considered a Permitted Lien. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchasers shall not have the right to disapprove any of the following, all of which (together with all matters deemed approved by Purchasers pursuant to terms hereof) shall be deemed to be “Permitted Liens” hereunder: (A) matters created or consented to in a separate written consent by the Purchasers, (B) the Assumed Liabilities (including the Assumed Debt and Assumed Debt Documents), (C) all liens of real estate taxes, assessments, water rates, water meter charges, water frontage charges and sewer taxes, rents and charges, if any, provided that such items are not due and payable and are apportioned as provided in this Agreement and/or (D) any matter reflected in any Initial Commitment (excluding any lien securing payment or repayment of a fixed or readily determinable amount other than any lien securing any Assumed Debt, which amount shall be paid by the Seller, and such lien shall be released, at Closing) or any Initial Survey. If the Purchasers deliver a Title Objection Notice to the Sellers within the above-described ten (10) Business Day period, the Sellers shall have ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Title Objection Notice in which to send the Purchasers a written notice (the “Title Objection Response Notice”) informing the Purchasers of the New Title Matters set forth in the Title Objection Notice that the Sellers will agree to cure prior to the Closing Date (as the same may be extended as provided herein). The Closing Date may be extended by the Purchasers or the Sellers to accommodate the notice and cure periods contemplated herein, provided that the Closing Date shall not be extended by the Sellers for a period of more than thirty (30) days for the purposes of curing any New Title Matter, and if the Sellers are unable after using commercially reasonable efforts during such period to cure any New Title Matter to which the Purchasers have objected and the Sellers agreed to cure, the Sellers shall be deemed to have elected not to cure such New Title Matter. If the Sellers refuse to agree to cure any New Title Matter set forth in the Title Objection Notice, the Purchasers shall have ten (10) Business Days after (i) receipt of the Title Objection Response Notice or (ii) the expiration of such thirty (30) day period if the Sellers have not cured any New Title Matter that the Sellers agreed to cure within said thirty (30) day period, as applicable, in which to advise the Sellers in writing of the Purchasers’ election (x) to waive the New Title Matters to which the Purchasers objected but the Sellers either refused to cure or could not cure and to proceed to Closing or (y) to terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to the Purchasers and the Parties shall have no further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement (other than obligations that shall survive the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof). If the Purchasers do not terminate this Agreement pursuant to the preceding sentence, then all New Title Matters appearing in the Title Objection Notice that Sellers either did not agree to cure (as set forth in the Title Objection Response Notice) or could not cure within said thirty (30) day period shall be deemed Permitted Liens. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sellers shall be required to (x) use commercially reasonable efforts to cure any matter set forth in any Title Objection Notice and (y) pay and remove (or cause to be paid and removed), at Closing, any lien of a fixed or readily determinable amount from the proceeds of the Purchase Price. The Purchasers agree that the Sellers may cure an objectionable matter by causing the Title Company to remove the same as an exception in the applicable Title Policy or

 

30


affirmatively insure over such matter, provided that such affirmative insurance shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Purchasers and any lender of the Purchasers and sufficient, in the Purchasers’ reasonable judgment, to adequately address the Purchasers’ and any lenders’ concerns with respect to such matter.

(c) The title insurance policies issued to the Purchasers as of the Closing shall insure the fee simple interest of the Purchasers in the Real Property, subject to only the standard preprinted exceptions (unless the Purchasers pay for extended coverage and deliver to the Title Company the surveys necessary to remove the survey exceptions, in which case the standard preprinted exceptions shall not appear in the Title Policies) and the Permitted Liens (each a “Title Policy” and collectively the “Title Policies”). The Sellers shall execute affidavits, gap indemnities, no change affidavits for the surveys (to the extent applicable) and other customary agreements as reasonably requested by the Title Company to cause the Title Company to issue the Title Policies and any extended coverage.

(d) The Sellers shall permit the Purchasers and the Purchasers’ Representatives to conduct surveys of the Property prior to the Notification Date at the Purchasers’ expense and subject to Section 4.3.

(e) The Sellers have provided to the Purchasers prior to the Effective Date copies of any Phase I or Phase II environmental assessments or other environmental assessments in the Sellers’ possession or reasonable control and conducted for any of the Assets.

Section 4.9 Delivery of Inventory. At the Closing, the Sellers shall deliver to the Purchasers, by leaving at each of the Facilities, all Inventory.

Section 4.10 Financial Information and Audit Assistance. During the term of this Agreement, the Sellers shall deliver to the Purchasers monthly individual Facility income statements not later than the end of the next succeeding calendar month and updated rent rolls not later than the twentieth (20th) day of the next succeeding calendar month. After Closing, on not less than fourteen (14) Business Days prior written notice from the Purchasers, the Sellers agree to provide the Purchasers’ auditors sufficient access to information and personnel at the Sellers’ corporate office to obtain all of the information they reasonably require to prepare audited financial statements of the Facilities for fiscal years 2008 through 2011 and comparable unaudited interim financial statements from January 1, 2012 through the Closing Date including access to the Sellers’ corporate level books and records. The Sellers also agree to cause an executive officer of the Sellers with knowledge concerning the financial affairs of the Facilities to execute and deliver a representation letter to the Purchasers’ auditors with respect to all financial information delivered to the Purchasers and their auditors, in a form and substance substantially similar to what would have been executed and delivered to the auditors had the Sellers been preparing audited financial statements for such time periods with respect to the Facilities, subject to such exceptions as may be required by such executive officer in order to provide such representation letter.

 

31


Section 4.11 PTO Pay. The Sellers shall credit to the Purchasers on the Closing Statement, as of the Closing Date for all earned and accrued paid vacation, sick or personal pay or other paid timeoff of all Transitioned Employees being conveyed on the Closing Date (collectively, “PTO”). The Sellers shall deliver to the Purchasers a list of PTO of Transitioned Employees employed at a Facility or employed at a regional corporate level within five (5) days prior to the Closing for such Facility (the “PTO List”), which shall include all PTO for Transitioned Employees of the applicable Facilities (i) as of the most recent pay period preceding the Closing Date and (ii) projected PTO as of the Closing Date, which shall assume no further vacation or sick days for all Transitioned Employees except for known scheduled vacation. The PTO List shall list all PTO of all Transitioned Employees, including the method of calculation of the PTO and the dollar value thereof to the Transitioned Employees to whom the amounts are potentially owed. The Purchasers shall thereafter be responsible for all such PTO to all such Transitioned Employees to the extent of the credit received from the Sellers at the Closing, and the amount of such PTO shall be subject to the post-Closing reconciliation process described in Section 9.6 below.

Section 4.12 No Solicitation.

(a) Each of the Sellers and Bowen shall not, nor shall any of them authorize or permit any of their respective directors, partners, managers, officers, employees or any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other advisor, agent or representative retained by them in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Seller Representatives”) on the Sellers’ or Bowen’s behalf to, directly or indirectly through another person or entity, (i) solicit, initiate, cause, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Proposal or (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding or enter into any agreement with respect to, any Proposal, or furnish to any person or entity any information in connection with or in furtherance of any Proposal. Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that any violation of the restrictions set forth in the preceding sentence by any Seller Representative shall be a breach of this Section 4.12(a) by the Sellers and Bowen. The Sellers and Bowen shall, and shall instruct the Seller Representatives to, immediately cease and after the Hard Date cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any person or entity conducted heretofore with respect to any Proposal and after the Hard Date request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished.

(b) In addition to the obligations of the Sellers and Bowen set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section 4.12, after the Hard Date the Sellers and Bowen shall promptly advise the Purchasers orally and in writing of any request for information or other inquiry that the Sellers or Bowen reasonably believe could lead to any Proposal, the terms and conditions of any such request, Proposal or inquiry (including any changes thereto) and the identity of the person or entity making any such request, Proposal or inquiry. After the Hard Date the Sellers and Bowen shall promptly keep the Purchasers fully informed of the status and details (including any change to the terms thereof) of any such request, Proposal or inquiry.

 

32


(c) For purposes of this Section 4.12, “Proposal” means any inquiry, proposal or offer, whether or not conditional and whether or not withdrawn, (a) for a merger, consolidation, recapitalization, acquisition transaction or other business combination involving any or all of the Sellers or (b) to acquire in any manner, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the aggregate equity interests of the Sellers, or that represent 10% or more of the total assets of the Sellers, other than as contemplated in this Agreement.

Section 4.13 Final Cost Report. The Sellers shall prepare and file any and all final cost reports for each Facility as and to the extent required by any Governmental Authority, Government Program or third party payor for the time period for which each of the Sellers was the operator or licensee of such Facility within the time frame required by Applicable Law for each Facility for which such a report should be prepared, but no later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after the Closing Date for such Facility, it being understood and agreed that it is the intent of the Parties that there shall be no interruption in the payments due to the Purchasers as a result of the failure of the Sellers to timely file such final cost reports.

Section 4.14 Employment Records; Resident Records. Except as may be prohibited by Applicable Law, the Sellers shall make available to the Purchasers the Sellers’ books and records relating to all employees of each Seller, including any and all records or written documents relating to performance reviews, performance improvement plans, statements of disciplinary actions taken, and all other information maintained in such employee’s personnel files (collectively, “Employee Records”). At the Closing, except as may be prohibited by Applicable Law, the Sellers shall provide copies to the Purchasers of all Employee Records for the Transitioned Employees. Following the Closing, the Sellers shall have the obligation to (i) remove and retain all Employee Records for all employees who are not Transitioned Employees and (ii) remove and retain all records relating to all prior Residents of the Facilities for which the Closing is occurring who were not residing therein on the Closing Date therefor unless the same are required to remain at the Facilities after the Closing in order for the Purchasers to comply with Applicable Law.

Section 4.15 Absence of Certain Changes or Events. The Sellers will not cause or permit any of the following with respect to the employees at the Facilities: any new bonus, percentage compensation, service award or other like benefit or any increase in the compensation payable or to become payable by the Sellers to any of their respective employees (except compensation granted to new employees who are hired in the ordinary course of business and then only upon terms consistent with other employees having comparable duties and experience), any change in the method of calculating any presently existing bonus, percentage compensation, service award or other like benefit, granted, made or accrued to or to the credit of any of the employees or agents of the Sellers or any increase in any employee welfare, insurance, pension, retirement or similar payment or arrangement made or agreed to by any Seller pursuant to existing welfare, pension and retirement Employee Benefit Plans and arrangements, deferred compensation, or other Employee Benefit Plans. In no event shall the limitations contained in this Section 4.15 extend beyond the Closing Deadline Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.15, the Sellers and BPMSL retain the right to pay as of the Closing longevity bonuses to employees.

 

33


Section 4.16 Key Employees. Without the prior written consent of the Purchasers (such consent not to be unreasonable withheld or delayed), the Sellers shall cause BPMSL to not, from the Notification Date through the Closing Date, terminate the employment of any of the employees listed in Exhibit 4.16, which exhibit shall be delivered by the Purchasers on or prior to the Notification Date (the “Key Employees”). The list of Key Employees may not include the Retained Employees. The Sellers shall promptly notify the Purchasers of any resignation of any such Key Employees and after the Notification Date shall not hire any replacement without the consent of the Purchasers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(a) The Sellers, for themselves and on behalf of BPMSL and its affiliates, and Bowen agree that they will not, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment, interfere with, offer to hire, or hire or cause to be hired or aid or assist any other person to solicit or hire, whether on a full-time, part-time, consulting or any other basis any existing employees at any of the Facilities between the Effective Date and the Closing, and, for a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date, any Transitioned Employee; provided, however, that the forgoing provisions of this Section 4.17(a) shall not restrict a Seller after the Closing Date from placing a bona fide public advertisement for employment which is not specifically targeted at such employees or from hiring an individual who is referred to a Seller pursuant to a generalized search conducted by a professional search firm but is not specifically targeted at a Transitioned Employee or the Facilities.

(b) The Sellers, for themselves and on behalf of BPMSL and its affiliates, and Bowen agree for a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date, not to directly or indirectly, in any capacity (including as an employee, owner, partner, agent, shareholder, director, officer, member, creditor, consultant, co-venturer or otherwise) whether alone, together or with any other person or entity, establish, reestablish, open or reopen, engage in, assist, financially or otherwise, any memory care, assisted living facility, independent living facility or continuing care retirement community, located or developed within a ten (10) mile radius of any Facility, except for the Facilities listed on Exhibit 4.17, which shall be permitted notwithstanding their proximity to any Facility or other similar facility now or hereafter owned or operated by any Purchaser or affiliated entity.

(c) The Sellers and Bowen acknowledge that the Purchasers’ remedies at law for any breach of this Section 4.17 are inadequate and that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Section 4.17 were not performed in accordance with its terms and further agree that the Purchasers shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Section 4.17. To the extent any court of competent jurisdiction adjudicating the enforceability of this Section 4.17 may deem any restriction set forth herein to be unreasonable, whether as to territory, duration or otherwise, said restriction shall be given effect, and it is the intent of the Parties that said restriction shall be given effect, to the extent such court deems it to be reasonable.

 

34


Section 4.18 Employee Benefit Plans. The Sellers shall continue to be liable and responsible for, and the Purchasers shall incur no liability or responsibility with respect to, any “Continuation Coverage” (as that term is defined by COBRA Section 4980B of the Code and Section 601, et seq. of ERISA) for any employee of any Seller terminated at any time prior to the Closing, from and after the Closing. The Purchasers specifically shall not assume, honor or accept any Employee Benefit Plan of the Sellers or their parents or affiliates, and the Sellers shall be solely responsible for satisfying all obligations (whether arising under federal, state or local law or pursuant to contract) which may arise or which may have arisen prior to the Closing Date in connection with the employment by the Sellers of the Sellers’ employees or the creation, funding, operation or termination of any of the Employee Benefit Plans that cover any of the Sellers’ employees, and the Sellers shall give all WARN Act notices required by Applicable Law. The Sellers shall remain responsible for maintaining or terminating all Employee Benefit Plans in compliance with Applicable Law and the Purchasers shall have no obligation with respect to any of the Sellers’ Employee Benefit Plans at any time.

Section 4.19 Capital Expenditures. The Sellers shall complete or cause to be completed prior to the Closing all capital projects as set forth in Section 2.12 of the Disclosure Letter and all repairs and replacements otherwise required to maintain each Facility in its condition as of August 25, 2011 (reasonable wear and tear excepted), using materials and labor, all consistent with the remainder of such Facility. Each Seller will cause such work to be completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with Applicable Law. All of the work, repairs, replacements and capital projects contemplated by this Section 4.19 shall be at the sole cost and expense of Seller.

Section 4.20 Changes in Representations and Warranties. Without in any way expanding the obligations or liabilities of the Sellers under Article II, the Sellers shall have the obligation throughout the period from the Effective Date through and including the Closing Date to give the Purchasers prompt written notice to the email address set forth on Exhibit 2.0 of any representation and warranty, made by the Sellers in Article II, which becomes materially inaccurate or incorrect, to the extent the Sellers obtain knowledge of such inaccuracy or incorrectness. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such notice shall not affect or modify the representations and warranties made by the Sellers, the conditions precedent to the Closing or the Purchasers’ rights under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Supplemental Letter delivered on or before the Update Date (x) with respect to Section 2.7 regarding Immaterial Contracts and Terminable Contracts only and (y) with respect to Section 2.20 regarding the Supplemental Financial Information only, shall effectively amend the Disclosure Letter.

Section 4.21 Delivery of Documents.

With respect to each Contract set forth in Section 2.7(e) of the Disclosure Letter, the Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Contract to be modified prior to the Closing Date such that the Contract shall relate only to, and provide for rights and/or obligations with respect only to, the Assets and to no other facility, facilities or assets owned or managed by any affiliate of the Sellers or any other person that is not subject to this Agreement.

Thereafter, the Sellers shall give notice to all parties under the Rejected Contracts that the Purchasers have elected not to assume and the Sellers shall terminate such Rejected Contracts on or prior to the Closing Date and the Sellers shall be responsible for all costs and expenses of such termination, including any costs or expenses that arise after the Closing Date in connection therewith. All Contracts and Immaterial Contracts and Equipment Leases of the Sellers other than (i) Rejected Contracts and (ii) those Contracts, Immaterial Contracts and Equipment Leases that are not assignable, are herein collectively referred to, respectively, as the “Assumed Contracts,” and the “Assumed Equipment Leases” and at Closing, the Parties shall execute and enter into the form of assignment and assumption agreement set forth herein in Exhibit 5.1(b) (the “Assignment and Assumption Agreement”) whereby the Sellers shall assign and the Purchasers shall assume the Assumed Contracts, the Assumed Equipment Leases and the Tenant Leases.

All amounts payable under the Assumed Contracts, the Assumed Equipment Leases and the Tenant Leases shall be prorated through the Closing Date pursuant to Sections 9.4 and 9.6.

Section 5.2 Assignable Debt.

The Purchasers shall use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of the holders and servicers, as applicable, of the Assignable Debt (and any other person or entity required to consent pursuant to the terms of the Assignable Debt Documents)

 

36


(collectively, the “Assignable Debt Lenders”) to the assumption of the Assignable Debt by the Purchasers as contemplated by this Agreement by the Closing Date on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Assignable Debt Documents existing on the Effective Date, subject to Section 5.2(f), and subject to no other terms and/or conditions unless approved in writing by the Purchasers in their sole discretion), provided in each case that (i) the Assignable Debt Lenders shall approve such changes to the Assignable Debt Documents necessary or required by the Purchasers to reflect the change in the borrower ownership and/or operating structure (including, without limitation, with respect to permitted transfers, operating leases and management agreements), (ii) such other changes reasonably required by the Assignable Debt Lenders to reflect the new operating and management structure, so long as such changes do not increase the liability or obligations of the borrower as set out in the Assignable Debt Documents, (iii) that such Assignable Debt is, and after the Closing shall be, secured only by the Assets that serve as collateral for such Assignable Debt on the Effective Date, and (iv) that none of the Purchasers, nor any parent entity or affiliate of any of the foregoing shall have any personal liability (whether pursuant to any guaranty, indemnity or other undertaking) in respect of such Assignable Debt except for customary personal recourse obligations resulting from fraud, misrepresentation, misapplication of cash, waste, environmental claims and liabilities, prohibited transfers, violations of single purposes entity covenants, and other circumstances customarily included in a separate guaranty or indemnification agreement in non-recourse financings of real property (the foregoing, “Non-Recourse Carve-out Obligations”), and as to the Non-Recourse Carve-Out Obligations only as may be offered in accordance with the immediately following sentence (the terms described in this sentence, collectively, the “Acceptable Terms”).

(b) The Sellers and the Purchasers acknowledge and agree that the Purchasers continue to respond to supplemental requests by the Assignable Debt Lenders for additional information. The Purchasers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the Assignable Debt Lenders, on or prior to the Notification Date (or reasonably promptly following receipt by the Purchasers of such request from the Assignable Debt Lenders if such request is made less than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Notification Date), information that substantially complies with any such request to the extent the requested information is available to the Purchasers, in all cases subject to the terms and conditions and limitations of Section 5.2(a); provided, however, the Parties agree and acknowledge that the Purchasers shall have no obligation to deliver any information required by the Assignable Debt Lenders with respect to any Seller or any affiliate of any Seller or otherwise with respect to the historical operations of any Facility and the Sellers shall be solely obligated to provide such information to the Assignable Debt Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree that the stated requirements of the debt assumption application is subject to modification and interpretation of the representative, underwriter and counsel assigned to the loan file, in their discretion, and the Purchasers shall have no obligation to provide any information beyond that which is communicated and required by such parties to the Purchasers, subject to the terms of Section 5.2(a).

 

37


(c) The Purchasers agree to pay any loan assumption or transfer fees and all other fees, costs, expenses and other amounts required to be paid in connection with the assumption of the Assumed Debt (as hereinafter defined) to the extent incurred pursuant to the terms of the Assumed Debt Documents (as hereinafter defined) and its own attorneys fees incurred in connection therewith (and this obligation shall survive the Closing); provided, however, that the Sellers shall pay the Excess Assumption Fee on the Assumed Debt at the Closing.

(d) If any Assignable Debt Lenders refuse to grant a full release, from and after the Closing, of any guarantor of all or any portion of any Non-Recourse Carve-out Obligations relating to any Assignable Debt, the Sellers shall have the option to elect to treat such Assignable Debt Lenders as refusing to provide consent to the assumption by the Purchasers of such Assignable Debt and, in such event, the Purchasers shall be deemed not to be obligated to assume such Assignable Debt and the terms of this subsection (c) shall apply.

The Purchasers and their affiliates shall have no liability for any actions or failures to act by such employees, or any claims brought by either such employees, in connection with such access and the Sellers shall indemnify the Purchasers and their affiliates for any and all losses, costs, damages, expenses and other liabilities in connection with such access.

(b) Rents and service fees for the period prior to the Closing Date will remain the property of the Sellers. The Sellers shall retain all rights in and title to all accounts receivable related to pre-Closing services, except to the extent any portion relates in part to dates after the Closing Date.

(iii) correcting (at the Purchasers’ reasonable direction) or permitting the Purchasers or the Purchasers’ Representatives, without unreasonably interfering with normal business operations, to correct on the Purchasers’ behalf and at the Sellers’ expense any outstanding deficiencies (whether physical plant or operational deficiencies), if and to the extent such correction is required by any Governmental Authority as a condition to the issuance of the Licensing Approvals;

(iv) permitting and promptly providing access to site visits and inspections by, and reasonably cooperating with, the Purchasers and the Purchasers’ Representatives (including any experts or consultants) and permitting inspections (preliminary or otherwise) at the Facilities by, and reasonably cooperating with, Governmental Authorities or experts or any representatives thereof (including any inspections to determine the compliance of any Facility with all fire safety codes and assisted living physical requirements), as necessary;

47


(c) Subject to the Sellers’ compliance with their obligations under this Section 6.3 and Section 4.3, the Purchasers shall submit to the appropriate Governmental Authority completed applications with schedules and required background information in order to obtain all certificate of need approvals or determinations of non-reviewability, CLIA waivers, licensing approvals (including the Health Care Licensing Approvals) and other Governmental Authority approvals as may be required for the Purchasers (or their affiliates) to own and/or operate each Facility and all approvals required to process a change of ownership or new application for Medicaid or any other third party payor certification, if applicable (collectively, the “Licensing Approvals”). Except with respect to (i) the Facility located in Arizona, the applications for which cannot be submitted until 30 days prior to the license transfer date, (ii) the Facility located in Utah, for which (A) background checks for new hires cannot be submitted until 30 days prior to the license transfer date and (B) a fire inspection report shall be obtained prior to the Closing, (iii) certain supplemental materials relating to Sunshine Villa to be submitted promptly after the Effective Date, (iv) Medicaid and CLIA applications, which are not required to be filed until after the Closing, (v) certain other ancillary license applications to be filed promptly after the Effective Date and (vi) any additional materials requested by a Governmental Authority following the Effective Date amending or supplementing materials previously provided to such Governmental Authority, each of which shall be promptly submitted as of such date, on or prior to the Effective Date the Purchasers have submitted substantially complete applications for the Health Care Licensing Approvals; provided, however, the Purchasers shall not be in breach of this Section 6.3(c) if (i) they omitted any of the following from any applications submitted on or before the Effective Date: (A) information required to be provided by the Sellers which has not been provided by the Sellers to the Purchasers prior to the Effective Date, (B) notices to Residents and/or responsible parties which are required to be, but which as of the Effective Date have not yet been, delivered by the Sellers and/or the Purchasers, as applicable, and/or (C) the results of third party inspections which are outside of the control of the Purchasers and have not been completed as of the Effective Date; and/or (ii), despite the good faith efforts of the Purchasers to submit substantially complete applications for the Health Care Licensing Approvals prior to the Effective Date, any such applications for the Health Care Licensing Approvals had not been submitted by such date. For the avoidance of doubt the Parties acknowledge and agree that the applications for the remaining Licensing Approvals, including, but not limited to, where applicable for Medicaid certification, were not required to be filed prior to the Effective Date in light of the fact that, among other reasons, they cannot, in many instances, be submitted until the Purchasers are able to demonstrate to the applicable Governmental Authority that the Health Care Licensing Approvals have been obtained by the Purchasers.

(d) The Purchasers shall diligently pursue in good faith the Licensing Approvals, including completing information requested in a timely manner, attaching required information and exhibits to the Licensing Approvals applications and promptly responding to requests made in connection with the Licensing Approvals; provided, however, the Purchasers shall not be in breach of their obligations under this Section 6.3(d) in the event that the Purchasers are unable to submit such information as a result of a breach by the Sellers of their cooperation obligation as set forth in this Section 6.3 or Section 4.3.

 

48


(e) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Purchasers shall be responsible for any filing fees or other similar costs associated with the change of ownership process; provided, however, that the Sellers shall be responsible for all costs to be incurred in connection with any corrective action related to the Assets that is required by Governmental Authorities prior to such Governmental Authorities issuing the Licensing Approvals (whether occurring prior to or after the Closing), where such corrective action either (A) arises from a survey of any of the Facilities conducted in the ordinary course of the applicable Seller’s business operations prior to the Closing Date or (B) is the direct result of an inspection made in connection with a change of ownership and/or re-licensing survey (a “CHOW Survey”), whether such CHOW Survey is conducted prior to or after the Closing Date, and the deficiency to which such corrective action relates had been cited, but was not corrected by the applicable Seller, prior to the CHOW Survey. For purpose hereof a complaint investigation survey shall be deemed to be a survey conducted in the ordinary course of the applicable Seller’s business operations.

(f) The Parties agree that the Purchasers are authorized to send pre-filing notices, file for NPI numbers and apply for all Licensing Approvals, disclose the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to all Governmental Authorities and schedule inspections, and the Purchasers shall be permitted to take all other actions related to the Facilities relating to securing the Licensing Approvals.

(g) The Sellers shall provide to the Purchasers any Licensing Surveys, including reports, waivers of deficiency, plans of correction and any other investigation reports issued with respect to the Facilities between the Effective Date and the Closing Date. To the extent any Licensing Surveys reflect any deficiencies or violations, the Purchasers shall have the right to review and approve the proposed plan of correction, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld unless the corrective action will extend into the period after the Closing Date, in which case the Purchasers shall have the right to withhold their approval in their sole and absolute discretion, and the Sellers shall at the Sellers’ expense thereafter remedy and discharge such deficiencies and violations, including filing and complying with any plans of correction or other remedial action required by any Governmental Authority prior to the Closing for any Facility to which such deficiencies or violations relate.

Section 6.4 Notices to Residents. For those Facilities in jurisdictions that require that advance notice be given by the Sellers and/or the Purchasers to Residents and/or responsible parties in connection with securing the Health Care Licensing Approvals, as soon as practicable after the Hard Date or by such earlier date as the Purchasers may advise the Sellers is required under Applicable Law in connection with the Purchasers efforts to secure the Health Care Licensing Approvals as of the Closing Date and to the extent the Sellers have not done so prior to the Effective Date, the Sellers will dispatch notification letters to each Resident and/or responsible party of such Facilities, in the form drafted by the Purchasers and mutually

 

49


acceptable to the Parties, as such form may be modified to comply with, and as may be required by Applicable Law, and containing such other information as the Purchasers may reasonably elect to include therein concerning the Purchasers. Following delivery by the Sellers and/or the Purchasers of such notification letters, the Purchasers may deliver additional introduction or notification letters to each resident and/or responsible party of the same Facility, whether or not required by Applicable Law, in the form drafted by the Purchasers and mutually acceptable to the Parties.

Section 6.5 Relinquishment of Authority. If the Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the issuance of Licensing Approvals requires the Sellers to have relinquished in writing the Sellers’ Licensing Approvals as a condition of the Purchasers or the Purchasers’ Representatives obtaining Licensing Approval comparable to the Licensing Approval for such Facility on the Effective Date, the Sellers shall execute and deliver such documents as may be necessary for the Sellers to relinquish the Sellers’ Licensing Approvals effective on the Closing Date upon the request of the Purchasers.

Section 6.6 Interim Operating Agreements.

(a) If, as of the Closing Date, any of the Purchasers (“Delayed Approval Purchasers”) have not obtained all Health Care Licensing Approvals or acceptable assurances that the Purchasers shall receive all Health Care Licensing Approvals effective as of the Closing Date upon any required confirmation by the states that the transfer of the Facility or Facilities located in such states has occurred, then at the Closing, the Delayed Approval Purchasers, shall enter into and the respective Seller, shall enter into and cause BPMSL to enter into (as needed), either (i) an interim lease and services/management agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 6.6(a)(i) and any revisions required to comply with applicable state law (collectively, the “Interim Management Agreements”) or (ii) an interim lease and consulting agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 6.6(a)(ii) and any revisions required to comply with applicable state law (collectively, the “Interim Consulting Agreements” and, together with the Interim Management Agreements, the “Interim Operating Agreements”), as appropriate.

(b) In the event that after the Closing and prior to the issuance of the Health Care Licensing Approvals, the applicable Governmental Authority approves the entering into of an Interim Management Agreement with respect to any Facility subject to an Interim Consulting Agreement, then the applicable Sellers, on the one hand, and the applicable Purchasers, on the other hand, shall enter into an Interim Management Agreement in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit 6.6(a)(i) and upon the commencement thereof, the Interim Consulting Agreement in effect with respect to such Facility shall be terminated.

(c) The provisions of Sections 6.6(a) and (b) shall not apply in states where the Parties acknowledge and agree (or, after the Effective Date, the Purchasers have received notice or other communications from the applicable Governmental Authority) that the Interim Operating Agreements are not permitted under Applicable Law, in which case the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to enter into another arrangement that is permitted under Applicable Law.

 

50


(d) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Health Care Licensing Approvals” shall, as to each of the Facilities, refer to the License issued by the applicable Governmental Authority to operate such Facility as an assisted living facility, Alzheimer’s care, or residential care facility for the elderly.

Section 6.7 Excluded Business Names. For a period not to exceed two hundred seventy (270) days after the Closing, the Purchasers shall have the limited, nontransferable, non-exclusive right and license to use the trade names and trademarks listed on Exhibit 1.1(b)(vi) (the “Excluded Business Names”) solely in connection with the operation of the Facilities, and only if and to the extent any one or more of the Excluded Business Names are displayed on existing signage, marketing and promotional materials, or internal or external business documents being used in connection with the operation of the Facilities as of the Closing. The Sellers acknowledge and agree that at such time as the Purchasers replace the signage at the Facilities, the current signage will be removed and destroyed unless the Purchasers make other arrangements for the delivery thereof to the Sellers.

Section 6.8 Condemnation Event. If between the Effective Date and the Closing a Condemnation Event shall occur with respect to any one or more Facilities, the Sellers shall be required to provide the Purchasers with prompt written notice of such occurrence and the Purchasers may elect, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such notice, to (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to the Purchasers and the Parties shall have no further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement (other than obligations that shall survive the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof) or (ii) elect to proceed to the Closing and have all insurance proceeds and/or awards attributable to such Condemnation Event assigned to the applicable Purchaser (and the Sellers shall provide a credit against the Purchase Price to the Purchasers in the amount of any applicable insurance deductible in connection therewith). “Condemnation Event” shall mean (i) damage or loss to or destruction by fire or other casualty of any one or more of the Facilities, the costs of repair for which is reasonably estimated to exceed $200,000 per Facility, or $500,000 in the aggregate, (ii) any condemnation by any Governmental Authority with respect to any Facility which renders such Facility less than a functional structure to continue to operate the Business thereon or which could reasonably be expected to materially interfere with the use of the Real Property for the purpose for which it is currently used or (iii) any taking of any of the Real Property under the right of eminent domain (or pending Legal Proceedings for such purposes).

Section 6.9 Like-Kind Exchange. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the purchase and sale of the Assets may be part of a tax-free exchange under Section 1031 of the Code for either the Purchasers or the Sellers. Each Party hereby agrees to take all reasonable steps on or before the Closing Date to facilitate such exchange if reasonably requested by the other Party, provided that (a) no Party making such accommodation shall be required to acquire any substitute property, (b) such exchange shall not affect the representations, warranties, liabilities and obligations of the exchanging Party to the other Parties under this Agreement, (c) no Party making such accommodation shall incur any additional cost, expense or liability in

 

51


connection with such exchange, unless indemnified by the exchanging Party, and (d) no dates in this Agreement will be extended as a result thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, if one or more Sellers so elect to close the transfer of the Assets as an exchange, then (i) such Sellers, at their sole option, may delegate their obligations to transfer the Assets under this Agreement, and may assign their rights to receive the Purchase Price from the Purchasers, to a deferred exchange intermediary (an “Intermediary”) or to an exchange accommodation titleholder, as the case may be; (ii) such delegation and assignment shall in no way reduce, modify or otherwise affect the obligations of the Sellers or Bowen pursuant to this Agreement; (iii) the Sellers and Bowen shall remain fully liable for their obligations under this Agreement as if such delegation and assignment shall not have taken place; (iv) the closing of the transfer of the Assets to the Purchasers shall be undertaken by direct deed from the Sellers (or, if applicable, from other affiliates of the Sellers whom the Sellers will cause to execute such deeds) to the Purchasers or to exchange accommodation titleholder, as the case may be; and (v) the Sellers shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless the Purchasers from and against any and all liability arising from and out of such exchange by the Sellers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, if one or more Purchasers so elect to close the acquisition of the Assets as an exchange, then (A) the Purchasers, at their sole option, may delegate their obligations to acquire the Assets under this Agreement, and may assign their rights to receive the Assets from the Sellers, to an Intermediary or to an exchange accommodation titleholder, as the case may be; (B) such delegation and assignment shall in no way reduce, modify or otherwise affect the obligations of the Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement; (C) the Purchasers shall remain fully liable for their obligations under this Agreement as if such delegation and assignment shall not have taken place; (D) the closing of the acquisition of the Assets by the Purchasers or the exchange accommodation titleholder, as the case may be, shall be undertaken by direct deed from the Sellers (or, if applicable, from other affiliates of the Sellers whom the Sellers will cause to execute such deeds) to the Purchasers or to exchange accommodation titleholder, as the case may be; and (E) the Purchasers shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless the Sellers from and against any and all liability arising from and out of such exchange by the Purchasers. No Party participating in a Section 1031 exchange transaction pursuant to this Section 6.9 shall make any representation or warranty to the other Party concerning the tax treatment of such transaction.

Section 6.10 License of Certain Assets.

(a) The Purchasers acknowledge that certain affiliates of the Sellers listed on Exhibit 6.10(a) (the “BPMSL Affiliates”) will continue to operate either the senior living facilities listed on Exhibit 4.17 or other multifamily housing properties and that the Work Product, the proprietary accounting algorithms (the “Proprietary Algorithms”), and other operational data and materials used by the BPMSL Affiliates in connection with the operation of those senior living facilities listed on Exhibit 4.17 or other multifamily housing properties (the “Operational Materials”) which shall be transferred to the Purchasers as of Closing, are also currently used in connection with the BPMSL Affiliate’s businesses and will continue to be necessary for the BPMSL Affiliates’ continued business operations after Closing. Accordingly, the Purchasers hereby grant to the BPMSL Affiliates a non-exclusive, non-transferable (other than as set forth in Section 6.10(b)), non-sublicensable, fully paid-up license to use the Work

 

52


Product, the Proprietary Algorithms, and the Operational Materials solely in connection with operation of the senior living facilities listed on Exhibit 4.17 or other multifamily housing properties (the “BPMSL License”). The Purchasers may terminate the BPMSL License granted under this Section 6.10(a) upon written notice to the BPMSL Affiliates, in the event that the BPMSL Affiliates breach any of its obligations or restrictions on use set forth in Section 6.10 and the BPMSL Affiliates fail to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of receiving written notice of the breach. The Purchasers shall not be required to provide the BPMSL Affiliates with any maintenance and/or other support services in connection with the Proprietary Algorithms, Work Product or Operational Materials and shall not be liable to the BPMSL Affiliates for any claim, loss, or damage of any kind arising out of or in connection with the Work Product or Proprietary Software or any deficiency or inadequacy thereof.

(b) The Purchasers agree to permit each BPMSL Affiliate to transfer the BPMSL License to any third party successor entity in connection with the sale of substantially all of each such BPMSL Affiliate’s respective assets to such entity, provided that such entity agrees in a writing delivered to the Purchasers to be bound by this Section 6.10 and BPMSL Affiliate’s transfer of the BPMSL License does not interfere with the ability of the Purchasers to use the Proprietary Algorithms, the Work Product, or the Operational Materials. Bowen, on behalf of the BPMSL Affiliates, agrees that the BPMSL License shall not otherwise be transferred or used by or sublicensed to any other person (including affiliates of the BPMSL Affiliates) by the BPMSL Affiliates.

(c) To the extent that any BPMSL Affiliates or any of their respective representatives improves, alters or otherwise modifies the Proprietary Software Algorithms, the Operational Materials, or the or Work Product, the Purchasers shall retain all right, title, and interest in and to such improvements, modifications, or alterations of the Proprietary Software or Work Product, and the BPMSL Affiliates hereby assign (and shall cause their representatives to hereby assign) any such intellectual property to the Purchasers.

(d) Bowen, on behalf of the BPMSL Affiliates, acknowledge and agree that following the Closing Date, the Purchasers will own all right, title, and interest in and to the Proprietary Software Algorithms, the Operational Materials, and Work Product and neither Bowen nor the BPMSL Affiliates shall challenge the Purchasers’ right, title, or interest therein.

(e) The licensed software used in connection with the Facilities is listed on Exhibit 6.10(e) (the “Facility Software”). All such Facility Software that is designated as an Assumed Contract by the Purchasers shall be transferred to the Purchasers pursuant to Section 5.1. To the extent any Facility Software that is designated an Assumed Contract is also used by the BPMSL Affiliates senior living facilities or other multifamily housing properties and has been modified by the licensor for use by the BPMSL Affiliates and the Sellers, the BPMSL Affiliates may request that the licensor permit the BPMSL Affiliates to use such modifications under the Purchasers’ licenses provided that the terms of such use do not impose any additional conditions or obligations or otherwise impose any additional restrictions on the Purchasers’ license to such Facility Software. The BPMSL

 

53


Affiliate’s use of such Facility Software so modified by the BPMSL Affiliates and the Sellers pursuant to this Section 6.10(e) shall be subject to the conditions of, and the Purchasers’ rights under, Sections 6.10(a), (b), (c) and (d) that are applicable to Algorithms, Operational Material and Work Product. Any costs or expenses pursuant to such request shall be solely paid by the BPMSL Affiliates.

Section 6.11 Management Agreement. The Sellers shall cause the owners of such facilities to enter into a management agreement with an affiliate designee of the Purchasers, as manager (the “Manager”), for the management of the facilities listed on Exhibit 6.11. (the “Nevada Facilities”), subject to approval by the lenders that have made loans secured by the Nevada Facilities and subject to finalizing the Form Management Agreement pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.11. The management of each such facility by the Manager shall commence, and the management agreement for such facility shall be executed and become effective, not less than one (1) day prior to the Closing Date (the “Management Agreement Deadline”). The form of the management agreement shall be on reasonable and customary terms mutually agreed on by the Parties and shall include a management fee equal to six percent (6%) of effective gross income and operating covenants, including, but not limited to, a covenant that monthly net operating income must exceed historical levels, which levels will be assessed and mutually agreed upon (the “Form Management Agreement”). The term of each management agreement shall be five (5) years with the following termination rights in favor of the owner of the applicable Nevada Facility: year 1: termination only in the event of a default by the Manager with respect to operating covenants or material breach by the Manager of the terms of the Management Agreement (in each case, subject to customary notice and cure rights); year 2: termination only as permitted in year 1 and/or in the event of a sale by owner of such Nevada Facility; and year 3 and thereafter, upon reasonable notice by such owner to the Manager. The Parties shall use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to finalize the Form Management Agreement on or prior to the Notification Date and the Sellers shall (and shall cause their respective affiliates and the owners of the Nevada Facilities to) use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all lender consents contemplated herein. The Purchasers shall use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Sellers, their affiliates and any owner to obtain any required lender consent. If all lender consents contemplated herein are obtained but the Parties have failed to finalize any management agreement contemplated by this Section 6.11 and execute such agreement with respect to any of the Nevada Facilities prior to the Management Agreement Deadline, the Purchasers shall have the right, in their sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement by written notice to the Sellers and payment of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) of the Deposit to Sellers and the Purchasers shall be entitled to a refund of the balance of the Deposit. If the Sellers, their affiliates and the owners of the Nevada Facilities are unable to obtain any lender consent contemplated herein, after using good faith, commercially reasonable efforts, prior to the Management Agreement Deadline, the Purchasers shall have the right, in their sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement by written notice to the Sellers and the Purchasers shall be entitled to a refund of a portion of the Deposit in the amount of Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($700,000) and the balance of the Deposit shall be paid to Sellers.

 

54


Section 6.12 Sale of BPMSL Assets. The Parties agree to use good faith efforts to finalize an agreement for the sale of certain assets of BPMSL to the Purchasers on or before March 15, 2012; provided, however, that the failure to finalize such agreement on or prior to March 15, 2012, notwithstanding the Parties’ good faith efforts, shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement. The agreement for the sale of the BPMSL assets shall provide, among other things, that: (i) the closing shall occur not less than one (1) day prior to the Closing Date and (ii) if this Agreement is terminated after the BPMSL closing, the Purchasers shall (or shall cause the Person that acquired the BPMSL assets to) convey such assets back to the Sellers (or the Sellers’ designee) upon payment of the same purchase price paid to the Sellers for such assets.

Section 7.3 Notification of Claims.

(a) Any and all claims must be made in writing within thirty (30) months of Closing. Failure to provide a clear and explicit notice of claim shall forever bar any claim of any sort, including claims under this agreement and all other agreements related to the purchase of the Assets, by statute, at common law or otherwise, and whether known or unknown, contingent, liquidated or unliquidated.

(b) A Party entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Sections 7.1 or 7.2 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall notify the Party liable for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of any claim or demand which the Indemnified Party has determined gives rise or will likely give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement, as soon as possible after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such claim or demand and has made such determination; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice to the Indemnifying Party in a timely fashion shall not result in the loss of the Indemnified Party’s rights with respect thereto except to the extent any Party to this Agreement is prejudiced by the delay, and then only to the extent of such prejudice. Subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to defend in good faith third party claims as hereinafter provided, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations under this Article VII within thirty (30) days after the receipt of written notice thereon from the Indemnified Party, it being agreed that the Indemnifying Party need not satisfy such obligations during any period in which the Indemnifying Party is defending in good faith the applicable third party claim in the manner described below.

(c) If the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party of any claim or demand pursuant to Section 7.3(a), and if such claim or demand relates to a claim or demand asserted by a third party against the Indemnified Party which the Indemnifying Party acknowledges is a claim or demand for which it must indemnify or hold harmless the Indemnified Party under Sections 7.1 or 7.2, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to either (i) pay such claim or demand or (ii) employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to defend any such claim or demand asserted against the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party, at its own expense, shall have the right to participate in the defense of any such claim or demand. The Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party in writing, as promptly as possible (but in any case reasonably in advance of the due date for the answer or response to a claim) after the date of the notice of claim given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party under Section 7.3(a) of its election to defend in good faith any such third party claim or demand; provided that by defending such claim or demand, the Indemnifying Party thereby admits and affirms its obligation to fully perform its indemnification obligation in the event such contested claim is resolved adversely to the Indemnified Party. So long as the Indemnifying Party is defending in good faith any such claim or demand asserted by a third party against the Indemnified Party and is able to demonstrate to the Indemnified Party its financial

 

59


wherewithal to fully perform its indemnification obligation in the event such contested claim is resolved adversely to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise such claim or demand. In no event shall any such claim or demand be settled in a commercially unreasonable manner. The Indemnified Party shall make available to such counsel all records and other materials in the Indemnified Party’s possession reasonably required by it for its use in contesting any third party claim or demand. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party elects to defend any such claim or demand, the Indemnified Party shall have no obligations to do so. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, such third party claim include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there are or are reasonably likely to be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party or that there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest, in either case that would make it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such third party claim, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of one separate counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction (and shall pay such fees, costs and expenses as incurred); provided that the Indemnified Party shall use diligent and good faith efforts in such defense.

(d) An Indemnifying Party may not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any claim or consent against an Indemnified Party to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim and does not contain any equitable order, judgment or term which in any manner affects, restrains or interferes with the business of the Indemnified Party or any of the Indemnified Party’s affiliates.

Section 7.4 Survival of Representations.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.4 (including Section 7.4(c)), all the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement (and any claims for any breach thereof) or any certificate delivered pursuant to or connection with this Agreement (and any claims for any breach thereof) shall survive the Closing for eighteen (18) months, except that Sections 2.1, 2.2, 3.1 and 3.2 shall survive for thirty (30) months.

(b) All covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement (and any claims for any breach thereof) that by their terms apply or are to be performed in whole or in part after the Closing shall remain in full force and effect after the Closing in accordance with their terms (or, if no survival period is stated therein, then such covenants and agreements shall survive indefinitely). All covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement that by their terms apply or are to be performed in their entirety on or prior to the Closing shall terminate at the Closing; provided that any claims for any breach thereof shall survive the Closing for eighteen (18) months.

 

60


(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if prior to the close of business on the last day of the applicable survival period, an Indemnifying Party shall have been properly notified as provided hereunder of a claim for indemnity hereunder and such claim shall not have been finally resolved or disposed of at such date, such claim shall continue to survive and shall remain a basis for indemnity hereunder until such claim is finally resolved or disposed of in accordance with the terms in this Agreement subject in all respects to the applicable statute of limitations.

Section 11.5 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 11.6 Assignment. This Agreement and all the provisions in this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns. The Purchasers may assign (in whole or in part) the Agreement and/or its right to acquire any one or more Facilities (or any portion of the Assets) or the right to manage under the Management Agreement to one or more affiliates that either control or manage the Purchasers, are controlled or managed by the Purchasers or under common control with the Purchasers, including joint venture entities in which the Purchasers or their affiliates share control with third parties, without the prior written consent of the Sellers; provided that the foregoing does not violate the terms or conditions of the Governmental Approvals. Other than the foregoing, neither the Purchasers nor the Sellers may assign this

 

76


Agreement without first obtaining the other Party’s written consent, which may be withheld in the other Party’s sole discretion. Upon an assignment (or partial assignment) by the Purchasers of their rights under the Agreement in accordance with this Section 11.6, the Purchasers’ assignee(s) shall be deemed to be the Purchasers hereunder (as it relates to the Facilities subject to such assignment) and shall be the beneficiary of all of the Sellers’ representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or undertakings in favor of the Purchasers under this Agreement. No assignment of this Agreement shall release the Purchasers from their obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Purchasers shall be permitted to assign (in whole or in part) certain representations and warranties, certain covenants and any indemnity obligation arising from such assigned representations and warranties or covenants to its affiliate(s); provided, however:

(a) The Sellers shall only be obligated to pay one party in connection with any claim for indemnification with respect to a specific Facility brought for a breach of a representation and warranty and/or covenant;

(b) The Purchasers shall determine which party will receive indemnification with respect to such claim and only one (1) Party shall be permitted to make such claim; and

(c) Any such claim shall be subject to Article VII of this Agreement.

Section 11.7 Governing Law. All matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including its interpretation, construction, performance and enforcement) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdictions other than those of the State of Delaware.

Section 11.8 Business Day. If the date for giving of notice or performance of any duty or obligation hereunder falls on a day that is not a Business Day hereunder, such date shall be automatically extended to the next Business Day hereunder. As used herein, a “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which banks are authorized to be closed in the State of New York. Time is of the essence with respect to all terms, provisions, covenants and conditions contained in this Agreement.

Section 11.9 Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signature and in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 11.10 Headings. The Article and Section headings and table of contents contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

 

77


Section 11.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, which term as used throughout includes the Exhibits and Disclosure Letter hereto, embodies the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties in respect of the subject matter contained herein. There are no restrictions, promises, representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or undertakings, other than those expressly set forth or referred to herein. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings among the Parties, including the Original Agreement, with respect to such subject matters contained herein and the Original Agreement has no further force or effect.

Section 11.12 Warranty of Authority. Each of the Parties warrants that the persons signing on their behalf have the right and power to enter into this Agreement and to bind them to the terms of this Agreement.

Section 11.13 Publicity. All pre-Closing publicity concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all notices respecting publicity shall be jointly planned, coordinated and released by and between the Parties; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit either Party from making any press release or disclosure as may be required to comply with Applicable Law, regulation or stock market rule provided, that the releasing or disclosing Party provides notice to the other of the substance of such release or disclosure in advance thereof.

Section 11.14 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION BROUGHT ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS HEREUNDER, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.

Section 11.15 Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon any third party other than the Parties hereto and the Indemnified Parties as set forth in Article VII any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 11.16 Specific Performance; Limitation of Remedy.

(a) The Sellers understand and agree that the covenants and undertakings on each of their parts herein contained are uniquely related to the desire of the Purchasers and their respective affiliates to consummate the Closing, that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are a unique business opportunity at a unique time for the Purchasers and their respective affiliates, and further agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed by the Sellers in accordance with its specific terms and further agree that, although monetary damages may be available for the breach by the Sellers of such covenants and undertakings, monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy therefor and that specific performance would not constitute a hardship for the Sellers. Accordingly, the Sellers agree, on behalf of themselves and their respective affiliates, that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Sellers of any of

 

78


their respective covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement, the Purchasers shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by the Sellers, and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the Sellers under this Agreement, including the provisions of Section 10.3(a)(ii). The Sellers hereby agree not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by the Purchasers, and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the Sellers under this Agreement. The Purchasers in seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the Sellers and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction. Except as expressly provided herein, under no circumstance shall the Purchasers file or record, or cause to be filed or recorded, against the Real Property a lis pendens, lien or any other type of encumbrance as the result of any breach or alleged breach of this Agreement by the Sellers, or for any other reason or purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Purchasers may file or record, or cause to be filed or recorded, against the Real Property a lis pendens, lien or other type of encumbrance permitted under applicable law if and when (x) the Purchasers are awarded monetary damages in a lawsuit filed by the Purchasers alleging that the Sellers breached this Agreement or (y) the Purchasers file a lawsuit against the Sellers seeking specific performance of the Sellers’ obligation to convey the Real Property to the Purchasers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The foregoing shall not affect the pledges of the Approved Collateral under Section 11.17.

(b) The Purchasers understand and agree that the Sellers would suffer irreparable damage in the event that the Purchasers were to breach certain provisions of this Agreement, and that while monetary damages may be available for the breach by the Purchasers of such covenants and undertakings, monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy therefor and that specific performance would not constitute a hardship for the Purchasers. Accordingly, the Purchasers agree, on behalf of themselves and their respective affiliates, that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Purchasers of the following provisions: Sections 4.3 (Access and Disclosure), 4.7 (Further Documentation), 4.10 (Financial Information and Audit Assistance), 4.12 (No Solicitation), 4.17 (Non-Solicit; No Hire; Non-Competition); 6.1 (Confidentiality) and 6.7 (Excluded Business Names); then the Sellers shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to specifically enforce such enumerated provisions of this Agreement. The Sellers in seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the Purchasers and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Sellers understand and agree that, in the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Sellers pursuant to and subject to the conditions of Section 10.3(b), or if this Agreement is terminated pursuant by the Purchasers pursuant to Section 10.1(f), then the Sellers’ sole and exclusive remedy against the Purchasers and any of their respective affiliates and their respective partners, directors, managers, members, shareholders, officers, employees and agents (the “Purchaser

 

79


Parties”) for any breach, loss or damage shall be to receive payment of the Deposit, in each case only to the extent provided in Section 10.3(b); and upon payment of such amount, no Seller or other person or entity shall have any rights or claims against the Purchaser Parties under this Agreement, or any other agreement or agreement delivered in connection with this Agreement, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, and none of the Purchaser Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Nothing in this Section shall be construed to limit the Sellers’ rights or damages under any indemnities (other than Article VII) given by the Purchasers to the Sellers under this Agreement.

Section 11.17 Bowen Guarantee.

(a) Bowen hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees (the “Guarantee”) to the Purchasers the punctual and full performance by each Seller of all of its obligations arising from and after the Closing pursuant to this Agreement. The Guarantee is absolute and unconditional irrespective of circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or any defense, setoff or counterclaim available to, Bowen. Bowen agrees not to effect or agree to take any action which would adversely affect his ability to carry out any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 11.17. Bowen hereby expressly acknowledges that the Guarantee and all obligations under this Section 11.17 shall be binding on his estate (including, but not limited to, the requirements that Bowen’s estate maintain the net worth, and provide the certified quarterly statements, required under subsection (b)).

(b) For so long as any obligations of the Sellers under this Agreement shall remain outstanding, Bowen shall maintain a net worth in excess of Fifty Eight Million Five Hundred Seventy-Nine Thousand Dollars ($58,579,000.00) and will provide the Purchasers with certified quarterly statements reasonably evidencing his net worth. If Bowen’s net worth should fall below such amount, Bowen shall immediately cause to be delivered to an account reasonably agreed upon with the Purchasers Nine Million Seven Hundred Sixty-Three Thousand Dollars ($9,763,000.00), and the Purchasers shall be granted a security interest in such account, and such account and all amounts therein shall secure the punctual and full performance by each Seller of all of its obligations arising from and after the Closing pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) To secure Bowen’s guarantee obligations hereunder, Bowen shall enter into at the Closing (i) a pledge agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”) in favor of the Purchasers (and each of their assigns pursuant to Section 11.6), in form reasonably satisfactory to the Purchasers, pursuant to which Bowen shall pledge and grant in favor of the Purchasers (and each of their assigns pursuant to Section 11.6) a security interest in (x) the St. Clair Membership Interest and (z) the Bend Membership Interest , and (ii) a mortgage (or deed of trust, as applicable) (a “Mortgage” and together with the Pledge Agreement, the “Security Documents”) in favor of the Purchasers

 

80


(and each of their assigns pursuant to Section 11.6), in form reasonably satisfactory to the Purchasers, pursuant to which Bowen shall mortgage and grant in favor of the Purchasers (and each of their assigns pursuant to Section 11.6) a security interest in the Home (the assets and interests described herein, collectively, the “Approved Collateral”). The Sellers shall use good faith efforts to cause any party holding a lien encumbering all or any portion of the Approved Collateral, or any other Person required to approve or effectuate (as reasonably determined by the Purchasers) the transactions contemplated by the Security Documents, in each case, to have approved in writing prior to the Closing the Security Documents and the transactions contemplated by the Security Documents, except for the consent of M&T Realty Capital Corporation in connection with exercise of remedies with respect to the pledge of the St. Clair Membership Interest, the Parties agreeing that notwithstanding the Sellers’ inability to obtain such consent, the Sellers remain obligated to execute and deliver the Pledge Agreement with respect to the Membership Interest at Closing.

(d) For the purposes of this Section 11.17, the “St. Clair Membership Interests” shall mean the Walter C. Bowen Trust’s 77% membership interest in 735 St. Clair, LLC, an Oregon limited liability company, the sole owner of the real property commonly known as and located at 735 St. Clair Avenue, Multnomah County, Oregon (the “St. Clair Property”); the “Home” shall mean Walter C. Bowen’s personal residence located at 11223 NW Saltzman, Portland, OR 97229 held in the Walter C. Bowen Trust; the “Bend Membership Interest” shall mean Walter C. Bowen’s 100% membership interest in BDC/Bend, LLC, an Oregon limited liability company, the sole owner of certain vacant real property located southwest of the intersection of Watt Way and Medical Center Drive in Bend, Oregon 97701 and more particularly described on Exhibit 11.16.

(e) Each of the Security Documents shall grant in favor of the Purchasers (and each of their assigns pursuant to Section 11.6) a valid security interest in and to the Approved Collateral and shall contain such customary terms as are necessary to protect the rights of the Purchasers (and each of their assigns pursuant to Section 11.6) as contemplated by this Section 11.17, including (i) representations and warranties, including with respect to the respective item of Approved Collateral (A) the ownership of the Approved Collateral, (B) that the Approved Collateral shall be and remain free and clear of all Liens other than those Liens existing on the Closing Date, (C) the power and authority to pledge the Approved Collateral and enter into the Security Documents and (D) no consents or approvals (other than those obtained, or the requirement for which is waived by Purchasers, by the Closing Date) required to enter into the Security Documents and grant a security interest in the Approved Collateral; (ii) covenants that the grantor(s) (A) will not assign, pledge, hypothecate or transfer, or create or permit to exist any security interest or other Lien on the Approved Collateral, excluding with respect to those Liens existing on the Closing Date, (B) will defend its title and interest thereto or therein against any Liens (other than those Liens existing on the Closing Date), however arising, (C) will not take any action (or fail to take any action) that would materially and adversely affect the rights of the Purchasers (and/or each of their assigns pursuant to Section 11.6), and (D) shall take all other actions reasonably necessary to protect the rights of the Purchasers (and each of their assigns pursuant to Section 11.6) under the Security Documents, including delivering limited liability company certificates or control agreements and making UCC or other filings or recordings to secure or perfect the security interests granted with respect to all Approved Collateral and (iii) other reasonable and customary terms and conditions.

 

81


(f) In the event Bowen is unable to make the representation set forth in Section 11.17(e)(i)(D) with respect to any Approved Collateral at Closing, as their sole remedy, the Purchasers may reject such item of Approved Collateral, in which case Bowen shall pledge in favor of the Purchasers (and each of their assigns pursuant to Section 11.6) in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Purchasers (i) marketable securities reasonably acceptable to the Purchasers with a fair market value of not less than the Assigned Value of the item of Approved Collateral that is rejected by Purchasers and/or (ii) cash in an amount equal to such Assigned Value, and in such event, the items of Approved Collateral that have not been rejected by the Purchasers pursuant to this Section 11.17(f) and such marketable securities and/or such cash, as applicable, collectively shall be deemed to be Approved Collateral. For purposes of this Section 11.17(f), the “Assigned Value” for each item of Approved Collateral, which amounts total Four Million Five Hundred Fifty-Six Thousand Dollars ($4,556,000), is as follows: St. Clair Membership Interest is Two Million Six Hundred Sixty-Four Thousand Dollars ($2,664,000); Bend Membership Interest is One Million One Hundred Ninety-Two Thousand Dollars ($1,192,000); Home is Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($700,000).

(g) The Security Documents shall be released on the date that is the later of (i) the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing and (ii) the date that all claims made by the Purchasers (and/or each of their assigns pursuant to Section 11.6) and pending as of the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing are fully resolved, satisfied and paid pursuant to Article VII to any Purchaser Indemnified Party. The Security Documents shall be executed by Bowen (or any applicable trustee of a trust) and, if required by applicable community property law, his spouse.

(h) To the extent required by applicable community property law, Bowen will provide any consents or other documentation from his spouse, if any, in order to authorize (or evidence such authority) the Guarantee and the Security Documents contemplated in this Section 11.17.

(i) On or prior to the Effective Date, Bowen and/or his representatives have provided materials and information to the Purchasers related to or regarding the St. Clair Property, the other assets owned directly or indirectly by Bowen, and the net worth of Bowen. Bowen hereby represents and warrants that each of the materials and information provided on or prior to the Effective Date is true, accurate and complete in all material respects, and does not omit any material information related thereto.

Section 11.18 Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, a Section, Exhibit or section of the Disclosure Letter, such reference shall be to an Article of, a Section of, or an Exhibit or section of the Disclosure Letter to, this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The

 

82


words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. All terms defined in this Agreement shall have the defined meanings when used in any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto unless otherwise defined therein. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term.

References to a person are also to its permitted successors and assigns. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiating and drafting of this Agreement. In the event of an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and any Exhibit hereto, this Agreement shall govern.

Each Party agrees to accept service of any summons, complaint or other initial pleading made in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 11.4, provided that nothing in this Section 11.19 shall affect the right of any Party to serve such summons, complaint or other initial pleading in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law.

Section 11.20 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Applicable Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

Section 11.22 California Disclosures and Special Provisions.

(a) Natural Hazard Disclosure. The term “Natural Hazard Area” shall mean those areas identified as natural hazard areas or natural hazards in the Natural Hazard Disclosure Act, California Government Code Sections 8589.3, 8589.4 and 51183.5 and California Public Resources Code Sections 2621.9, 2694 and 4136, and any successor statutes or laws (the “CA Act”). To the extent required under applicable law, the Sellers shall cause the Title Company to deliver to the Purchasers as soon after the Effective Date as is practicable a Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement (the “CA Disclosure Statement”) for each Real Property located in California in a form required by the CA Act. The Purchasers acknowledge that each CA Disclosure Statement will fully and completely discharge the Sellers from any disclosure obligations under the CA Act and under California Civil Code Sections 1102 through 1102.17. Nothing contained in the CA Disclosure Statements release the Purchasers from their obligation to fully investigate and satisfy themselves with the condition of the Real Property located in California prior to executing this Agreement, including, without limitation, whether any of the Real Property located in California is located in any Natural Hazard Area. The Purchasers further acknowledge and agree that the matters set forth in the CA Disclosure Statements may change on or prior to the Closing and that the Sellers have no obligation to update, modify or supplement the CA Disclosure Statements. The Purchasers are solely responsible for preparing and delivering their own CA Disclosure Statements to subsequent prospective purchasers of the Real Property located in California.

(b) Releases. In connection with any release set forth in this Agreement, the releasing party acknowledges that it is familiar with and expressly waives any protections or rights provided by §1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides:

A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.

 

84


Section 11.23 Liquidated Damages.
