2. Purchase Price. The total purchase price for the Property shall be the greater of either (i) the fair market value of the Property determined by a qualified real estate appraiser mutually acceptable to the Seller and the Purchaser; or (ii) Three Million Nine Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($3,950,000) (the “Purchase Price”) of which One Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,000.00) (“Earnest Money”), whether Purchase Price is established under (i) or (ii) above, shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller within three (3) business days after the Effective Date of this Agreement, to be held as earnest money hereunder in an interest bearing account, all of which shall be non-refundable upon execution of this Agreement and opening of escrow, except as provided below. At closing the Earnest Money and all interest accrued thereon shall be paid to Seller and the balance of the Purchase Price due hereunder, less adjustments and expenses provided herein, will be paid to Seller, either in cash, by cashier’s check, or by wire transfer. In the event this transaction closes, all such amounts shall be credited towards the Purchase Price.

3. Conveyance. At closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser its general warranty deed in recordable form, fully executed and acceptable to the Title Company (the “Deed”), conveying to Purchaser good and marketable title to the Property in fee simple, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances except for taxes not yet due and payable, and only those easements, mineral rights held by others (if any), rights-of-way, covenants, reservations and restrictions of record, including applicable zoning laws, which are hereafter approved in writing by the Purchaser or deemed approved in writing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (the “Permitted Exceptions”).

4. Closing Date and Termination: Closing Date shall occur at a date mutually agreeable to the Parties. The Parties agree that if a Condition to Closing (as defined herein) becomes unattainable, this Agreement will terminate at such time.

5. Purchaser’s Conditions to Closing. Purchaser shall have until the Closing Date to examine the Property and all matters relating thereto, as well as take other steps necessary to make Property feasible for the construction of an assisted living facility (“Conditions to Closing”). The matters included in the Conditions to Closing shall be, without limitation, the status of title as described in Paragraph 6, the survey described in Paragraph 7, the environmental analysis of the Property under Paragraph 8, the satisfaction of the contingencies specified in Paragraph 9, and the determination by Purchaser that the Property is suitable for Purchaser’s intended use.

6. Title and Survey Review

(a) Purchaser has had title to the Property to be examined by a title company acceptable to Purchaser (the “Title Company”) and shall request that the Title Company issue an updated commitment for an owner’s policy of title insurance, a copy of which will be furnished to Seller (the “Title Commitment”). The cost of the title insurance examination and the Title Commitment (if any) shall be paid by Purchaser.

(b) Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s expense, obtain an updated ALTA/ACSM survey of the Property, prepared in conformance with Purchaser’s survey requirements, from a licensed surveyor reasonably acceptable to the Title Company (the “Survey”).

(c) If the updated Title Commitment or Survey shows material changes from the commitment and survey already obtained by Purchaser; then Purchaser shall, within ten (10) days after its receipt of the latter of the Title Commitment or the Survey, give Seller written notice thereof (the “Objection Notice”). The matters that are set forth in the Objection Notice are hereinafter referred to as “Title Objections”.

(d) Seller shall notify Purchaser within five (5) business days of receipt of the Objection Notice of its intended action in regard to satisfying or remedying the Title Objections. If Seller elects to satisfy or remedy the Title Objections, but has not so satisfied or remedied all Title Objections within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Objection Notice, or if Seller elects not to satisfy or remedy the Title Objections, then Purchaser may, by written notice within five (5) days after the expiration of said fifteen (15) day period, either (i) terminate this Agreement; or (ii) elect to waive its objection to any uncured Title Objections and to proceed to close this transaction without reduction in the Purchase Price; provided, however that Purchaser shall have the right to remove such exceptions which can be cured by payment of a stated sum of money (such as deeds of trust, security agreements, past-due ad valorem taxes and assessments constituting a lien against the Property, mechanic’s and materialmen’s liens, and judgments which have attached to and become liens against the Property), and Purchaser shall receive credits against the Purchase Price in amounts equal to the sum of money paid, plus the costs incurred, in curing all such Title Objections. Any exceptions shown on the Title Commitment or the Survey to which Purchaser does not object as herein provided, and any exceptions to which Purchaser waives its objections by written notice, shall be deemed approved by Purchaser and shall be “Permitted Exceptions”.

Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any physical damages arising directly from Purchaser’s inspection and testing of the Property, which indemnity shall survive closing or the termination of this Agreement.
