(the Operating Partnership), completed the acquisition of three skilled nursing facilities and one skilled nursing campus located in the greater Dallas-Fort Worth area of Texas (collectively, the Properties), consisting of 540 skilled nursing beds and 28 assisted living units.

Due diligence, whether at the Facilities or otherwise, shall include, without limitation, the following:

6.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Subsection, Seller shall deliver all Due Diligence Items listed in Schedule 6.1(g) within ten (10) business days of the Effective Date (the Production Period), as specified in Schedule 6.1(g). In the event Seller
5
fails to deliver all Due Diligence Items listed in Schedule 6.1(g) within ten (10) business days of the Effective Date, then the Due Diligence Period will be deemed extended on a day-to-day basis until Seller completes such delivery of the Due Diligence Items to Buyer.
6.3 Promptly upon request by Seller, at the conclusion of the Production Period, Buyer shall acknowledge and affirm that, to its knowledge, it has received all Due Diligence Items listed on Schedule 6.1(g) or provide Seller with written notice delivered by Buyer to Seller at the address set forth in Section 18 herein of any such Due Diligence Items Buyer has yet to receive (Additional Due Diligence Notice). Should Seller reasonably disagree with Buyer as to whether additional Due Diligence items are due, Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by providing notice to Buyer (the Diligence Disagreement Notice) within one (1) business day after receipt of the Additional Due Diligence Notice; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, for a period of three (3) business days following delivery to Buyer of the Diligence Disagreement Notice, Buyer may deliver written notice to Seller that Buyer has revoked its Additional Due Diligence Notice, in which event the Diligence Disagreement Notice shall be deemed cancelled and this Agreement shall not be terminated. Following delivery of the Diligence Disagreement Notice, and provided Buyer does not timely deliver a revocation thereof pursuant to this Section 6.3, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer in accordance with this Agreement and this Agreement shall be deemed terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Subsection, in the event Seller fails to deliver all Due Diligence Items listed in Schedule 6.1(g), then the Due Diligence Period will be deemed extended for a period equal to the number of business days from Sellers receipt of the Additional Due Diligence Notice from Buyer until Seller completes delivery of such identified Due Diligence Items to Buyer.
6.4 Reviews, inspections and investigations at the Facilities will be conducted by Buyer in such manner so as not to disrupt the operation of the Facilities. Furthermore, Buyer will not inform anyone, including any employee, agent or resident of the Facilities, of Buyers purpose in visiting the Facilities.
6.5 Buyer may, at its sole cost, obtain third party engineering and physical condition reports and Phase I Environmental Audits covering the Facilities certified to Buyer prepared by an engineering and/or environmental consultants (Consultants) acceptable to Buyer; provided, no inspection by Buyers Consultants will involve the taking of samples or other physically invasive procedures (such as a Phase II environmental audit) without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Buyer will indemnify, defend (with counsel acceptable to Seller) and hold Seller and its employees and agents, and each of them, harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including, without limitation, attorneys fees incurred in connection therewith) arising out of or resulting from Buyers exercise of its right of inspection as provided for in this Section 6; provided, however, such indemnification will not extend to any pre-existing conditions existing or discovered by Buyer as a result of said activities and/or the acts or omissions of Seller or any third party, except for the acts or omissions of Buyers Consultants. The indemnification obligation of Buyer under this Section 6 will survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement for a period of twelve (12) months. Following any audit or inspection as provided for herein, Buyer will return the Real Property and the Facilities to the condition in which they existed immediately prior to such audit or inspection.
6.6 If the results of the foregoing inspections and audits are acceptable to Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion, Buyer may, upon written notice to Seller given on or before
6
5:00 p.m. (Central Time) on the last day of the Due Diligence Period approve all of such matters described in this Section 6. Failure by Buyer to deliver such notice of approval in a timely manner will be deemed to constitute Buyers disapproval of the matters described in this Section 6 and termination of this Agreement as to the Facilities, and in such event, neither party will have any further rights and obligations under this Agreement, except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, (a) Buyer will promptly return all copies of Sellers documents (other than copies retained for the purpose of complying with audit or compliance procedures) and deliver to Seller any reports obtained by Buyer that relate to the Facilities or the Real Property (excluding any proprietary materials and materials subject to the attorney-client and/or work product privilege), and (b) Escrow Agent will promptly return (i) to Buyer the refundable portion of the Deposit and all interest accrued thereon, and (ii) to Seller and Buyer, all documents deposited by them respectively, which are then held by Escrow Agent.
6.7 Seller hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the Closing, Seller shall (at its sole cost and expense) cause to be completed all material capital improvements and material Facilities renovations, subject to a cap of Twelve Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($12,500.00) per Facility, identified in writing by Buyer and delivered to Seller on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period.

(c) OpCo Seller covenants that Operators will not enter into any Leases or Contracts or commitment affecting the Facilities, except for the Interim Sublease (as defined below) and any Leases or Contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business which may be terminated on or before the Closing Date.
(d) OpCo Seller covenants that during normal business hours and consistent with Section 6.3 herein, OpCo Seller will provide Buyer or its designated representative with
25

Buyer will likewise not mention to any resident, employee or agent of OpCo Seller located at the Facilities (other than such persons whose input is necessary to the performance of Buyers Due Diligence investigations hereunder), Buyers reason for entering, inspecting, or appearing at the Facilities. At such times OpCo Seller will, and will cause Operators to, permit Buyer to inspect the books and, in accordance with applicable law, records of the Facilities.
(e) Seller will deliver to Buyer the due diligence items described on the Due Diligence List attached hereto as Schedule 6.1(g) (the Due Diligence Items) within the timeframes specified in Schedule 6.1(g).

(f) Seller will not allow the Operators to move residents from the Facilities, except (a) to any other facility which is owned by Seller and constitutes part of the Property, as defined herein, for health treatment purposes or otherwise at the request of the resident, family member or other guardian or (b) upon court order or the request of any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Facilities.
(g) Within ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date, OpCo Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the services of key employees of the Operators available to Buyer or Buyers operator (Buyers Operator) to discuss Buyers Operators employment of such key employees after the Closing Date. Within such ten (10) day period, Buyer or Buyers Operator will have the opportunity to interview such key employees who are willing to participate in such interviews at such reasonable times as may be arranged between Buyer or Buyers Operator, without causing a disruption in the provision of services at the Facilities by the Operators. On or before the next regularly occurring payday after Closing, OpCo Seller will pay all benefits required to be paid by OpCo Seller pursuant to OpCo Sellers policies or practice or Texas law, which will have been earned or accrued by each employee as of the Closing Date.
(h) OpCo Seller will offer and provide, as appropriate, group health plan continuation coverage pursuant to the requirements of Section 601, et seq. of ERISA and Section 498B of the Internal Revenue Code (COBRA) to all of the employees of the Facilities to whom it is required to offer the same under applicable law. OpCo Seller acknowledges and agrees that neither Buyer nor Buyers Operator is assuming any of Operators obligations to its employees under COBRA or otherwise, except as specifically provided in this Subsection.

(i) If applicable, OpCo Seller will provide any and all notices to the employees of the Facilities of the closure thereof pursuant to the requirements of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (the WARN Act) or any comparable state law.

(j) OpCo Seller and Buyer agree that the continued employment of certain key employees of the Facilities, to be set forth on Schedule 10.1(j) which will be agreed upon by Buyer, Buyers Operator, and Seller by the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, will be important to the viability of the operations of Buyers Operator at the Facilities.

(q) Seller agrees to cause the Operators to remedy any compliance deficiency cited in any written notice from, or in any settlement agreement or other Plan of Correction or other agreement with, any state or federal governmental body, or in the event of state or federal proceedings against Operators or the Facilities, or receipt by the Operators of such notice prior to the Closing Date, of any condition which would affect the truth or accuracy of any representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement by Seller, including, without

limitation any deficiency or other agreement disclosed on Schedule 8.12 or Schedule 8.13; provided, however, in the event a physical plant deficiency is cited which Seller has insufficient time to remedy before the Closing Date, in accordance with the approval of the appropriate state or federal agency, then the same will be deemed remedied when the costs of correcting said deficiency (based upon reasonable estimates from established vendors selected by Seller and Buyer and approved by Seller and by Buyer, as mutually agreed) will be credited to Buyer at Closing; and, provided further, a non-physical plant deficiency which cannot be remedied prior to the Closing, in accordance with the approval of the appropriate state or federal agency, will be deemed to be remedied for purposes of this Section if (i) the Operator or Operators develop a Plan of Correction addressing the deficiency(ies), (ii) such Plan of Correction is approved by the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS) and (iii) the Facilities are thereafter found by DADS to be in substantial compliance with such Plan of Correction. Seller will use its best efforts to remedy any such deficiency subsequent to the Closing which is to be remedied as a result of a Plan of Correction filed by Seller or the Operator prior to the Closing, and Buyer will cooperate with such efforts by Seller; provided, Seller will bear all costs associated with such remedy. In the event any such Plan of Correction agreed to by Seller and an Operator prior to the Closing is not approved by DADS subsequent to Closing, Seller will promptly, at Sellers sole cost, amend the Plan of Correction in such a manner that is necessary to obtain acceptance by the State of the amended Plan of Correction as soon as practicable after submittal. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the obligation of Seller pursuant to this Subsection 10.1(r) will survive the Closing for such period of time as is necessary to remedy such deficiency.

SURVEYS AND TITLE COMMITMENTS
15. Title Commitment and Survey
15.1 Immediately upon execution and delivery of this Agreement, Seller will order, and within ten days (10) after the Effective Date will deliver to Buyer, the title commitments (Title Commitments) covering the Real Property and the Facilities dated after the Effective Date of this Agreement, together with legible copies of any and all instruments referred to in the Title Commitments as constituting exceptions to title of the Real Property and will deliver all such documents to Buyer along with all other Due Diligence Items.
15.2 Seller will deliver to Buyer, within five (5) business days following the Effective Date, a copy of the existing Property surveys, if any, in Sellers possession for the Facilities (Surveys). If required by Buyer or desired by Buyers lender, Buyer will be responsible for obtaining an update of the Surveys or new Surveys, at Buyers sole cost. On or before fifteen (15) business days before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer will notify Seller and the Title Company (Buyers Title Notice) of any objections which Buyer may have to the Title Commitments and/or Surveys. If Buyer objects to any matters in its sole and absolute discretion (other than the Permitted Exceptions, as defined herein) which, in Buyers determination, might adversely affect Buyers title or the ability of Buyers Operator to operate the

If Seller delivers written notice to Buyer (Sellers Title Notice), which shall be delivered within ten (10) days after delivery of Buyers Title Notice (but in no event later than the fifth (5th) business day prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period), that Seller is unable or unwilling to cure such objections, or if, for any reason, Seller is unable to convey title in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, Buyer will have an additional period of three (3) business days following its receipt of Sellers Title Notice in which to deliver written notice to Seller (Buyers Second Title Notice) either (i) to waive such objections (in which event the items objected to and uncured will be deemed Permitted Exceptions) and to accept such title in the condition that Seller is able to convey, or (ii) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller in accordance with Section 14 herein.

Thereafter, neither party will have any continuing obligation nor liability to the other party except for any such matters that expressly survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement, as provided herein. The provisions of this Section 15.2 are intended to apply only in the event of a failure of the condition of title, as set forth herein, which is not the result of a default by either party, and will not apply in the event the non-terminating party is in default of its obligations under this Agreement.
COOPERATION

Whenever any claim will arise for indemnification hereunder, the Indemnifying Party will promptly notify the party from whom indemnification is sought (the Indemnitor) of the claim, and the facts constituting the basis for such claim (the Indemnification Claim). Failure to notify the Indemnitor will not relieve the Indemnitor of any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party, except to the extent the defense of such action is materially and irrevocably prejudiced by the Indemnified Partys failure to give such notice.
17.4 Defense of Claims.
(a) An Indemnitor will have the right to defend against an Indemnification Claim, with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, if (i) within fifteen (15) days following the receipt of notice of the Indemnification Claim the Indemnitor notifies the Indemnified Party in writing that the Indemnitor will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against damages the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, relating to, arising out of, or attributable to
41
the Indemnification Claim, (ii) the Indemnitor provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnitor will have the financial resources to defend against the Indemnification Claim and pay, in cash, all damages the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, relating to, arising out of, or attributable to the Indemnification Claim, (iii) the Indemnification Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, (iv) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Indemnification Claim is not in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party likely to establish a precedential custom or practice materially adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party, and (v) the Indemnitor continuously conducts the defense of the Indemnification Claim actively and diligently.
(b) So long as the Indemnitor is conducting the defense of the Indemnification Claim in accordance with Section 17.4, then (i) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Indemnification Claim, (ii) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any order with respect to the Indemnification Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor (not to be withheld unreasonably), and (iii) the Indemnitor will not consent to the entry of any order with respect to the Indemnification Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that it will not be deemed to be unreasonable for an Indemnified Party to withhold its consent with respect to any finding or admission (A) of any breach of any law, order or permit, (B) of any violation of the rights of any person, or (C) which Indemnified Party believes could have a material adverse effect on any other actions to which the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates are party or to which Indemnified Party has a good faith belief it may become party.
17.5 Insurance Proceeds. In determining the amount of damages for which either party is entitled to assert an Indemnification Claim, the amount of any such claims or damages will be determined after deducting therefrom the amount of any insurance coverage or proceeds or other third party recoveries received by such other party in respect of such damages. If an indemnification payment is received by the Indemnified Party in respect of any damages and the Indemnified Party later receives insurance proceeds or other third party recoveries in respect of such damages, the Indemnifying Party will immediately pay to the Indemnified Party a sum equal to the lesser of the actual amount of net insurance proceeds or other third party recoveries (remaining after recovery costs and expenses) or the actual amount of the indemnification payment previously paid by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party.
17.6 Indemnification if Negligence; No Waiver of Rights or Remedies.
UNLESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED HEREIN, THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 17 WILL BE APPLICABLE WHETHER OR NOT THE SOLE, JOINT, OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY IS ALLEGED OR PROVEN. THE PARTIES AGREE THE PRECEDING SENTENCE IS COMMERCIALLY CONSPICUOUS. Each Indemnified Partys rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement will survive the Closing or other termination of this Agreement, will not be deemed waived by such Indemnified Partys consummation of the Closing of the sale transactions and will be effective regardless of any
42
inspection or investigation conducted, or the awareness of any matters acquired (or capable or reasonably capable of being acquired), by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party or by its directors, officers, employees, or representatives or at any time (regardless of whether notice of such knowledge has been given to Indemnitor), whether before or after the Closing Date.

CareTrust REIT Acquires Texas Portfolio
SAN CLEMENTE, Calif., December 1, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) CareTrust REIT, Inc. (NASDAQ:CTRE) today announced that it has acquired three skilled nursing facilities and one skilled nursing campus in the greater Dallas-Fort Worth area. The purchase price was approximately $95.9 million, inclusive of transaction costs. In connection with the acquisition, CareTrust entered into a new tenant relationship with affiliates of Priority Management Group, LLC, which took over operations effective December 1, 2016.
These well-regarded, well-located and recently-built or renovated facilities are an outstanding addition to our growing portfolio, said Mark Lamb, CareTrusts Director of Investments. More importantly, we are very excited to be welcoming Priority Management Group, an exceptional operator with a very experienced and highly successful management team, to the CareTrust family, he added.
Industry veteran Doug Boulware, Priority Management Groups Chief Executive Officer, said, We are excited to join forces with CareTrust because, as former operators themselves, they uniquely understood both our patient-centric mindset and our vision for disciplined future growth. He added that Priority is looking forward to growing with CareTrust throughout Texas and the Southeast.
The portfolio, consisting of 540 skilled nursing beds and 28 assisted living units, is scheduled to generate first-year annual cash rent of $8.6 million, resulting in an initial cash yield of 8.9%. The new master lease carries an initial term of fifteen years, with two five-year renewal options and CPI-based rent escalators. CareTrust funded the acquisition from cash on hand, including the approximately $81 million of net proceeds from its November equity offering, and its $400 million unsecured revolving credit facility, which currently has a total outstanding balance of $115 million.
