THIS MEMBERSHIP INTEREST PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of this 27th day of January, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), by and between BME TEXAS HOLDINGS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Assignor”), and CTR PARTNERSHIP, LP, a Delaware limited partnership and its successors and/or assigns (“Assignee”), with respect to the following facts:

RECITALS

A.    WHEREAS, Assignor has entered into that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement dated December 5, 2018 (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Seller (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), pursuant to which Assignor has agreed to purchase from Seller, among other things, the Facility Assets (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) with respect to each of the Facilities described in Schedule “1” attached hereto (collectively, the “Facilities”), and

B.    WHEREAS, immediately subsequent to Assignor’s acquisition of the Facility Assets pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Assignor desires to assign and convey to Assignee, and Assignee desires to assume and purchase from Assignor, the Equity Interests (as defined below) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

1. Incorporation of Recitals; Definitions.

(a)    The statements set forth in Paragraphs A and B above are incorporated herein by this reference.

(b)    Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that (i) “Facilities” herein shall refer only to the facilities identified in Schedule “1” attached hereto and (ii) to the extent such capitalized terms apply to more facilities than the Facilities, the term shall be construed to only apply to the Facilities herein unless the applicable term provides otherwise.

2. Sale of Equity Interest.

(a)    Prior to the Closing Date, Assignor shall nominate (in writing) a newly formed Delaware limited liability company for each Facility as set forth on Schedule “1” attached hereto (each, a “Purchaser SPE”, and collectively, the “Purchaser SPEs”) to take title to the Facilities (and Facility Assets related thereto) on the Closing Date. At formation of each Purchaser SPE, Assignor shall be the sole member thereof and each Purchaser SPE shall be subject to a single member LLC Agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Assignee. Prior to the Closing Date, Assignor shall cause each Purchaser SPE to be qualified to do business in the State of Texas and shall provide documentation of the same to Assignee.


(b)    Subject to satisfaction or waiver of all conditions set forth in Section 9 below, Assignor shall transfer one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding membership interests in each of the Purchaser SPEs (the “Equity Interests”) for the Facilities, to Assignee, as follows:

(i)    On the applicable Closing Date, subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and immediately after the Purchase Agreement Closing, Assignor shall sell, transfer and assign to Assignee the Equity Interests for each Purchaser SPE acquiring the applicable Transferred Facilities, and Assignee shall purchase, acquire and assume such Equity Interests, pursuant to the terms and provisions of an Assignment of Limited Liability Company Membership Interests, substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (each, a “Purchaser SPE Assignment”, and collectively, the “Purchaser SPE Assignments”).

(ii)    Prior to each MIPA Closing Date, Assignor shall nominate in writing delivered to Seller each Purchaser SPE to acquire the Facility Assets with respect to the Facility being acquired by such Purchaser SPE.

3.    Purchase Price. In consideration of the assignment to Assignee of the Equity Interests for all Purchaser SPEs acquiring all of the Facilities, Assignee shall pay to Assignor the total amount of $211,000,000.00 (the “MIPA Purchase Price”). The MIPA Purchase Price shall be payable by Assignee to Assignor as follows:

(a)    On or before the Effective Date, a portion of the MIPA Purchase Price in the amount of $5,000,000.00 (such amount, or so much thereof as remains on deposit with Escrow Agent from time to time, the “Deposit”) has been deposited by Assignee with Madison Title Agency, LLC, 1125 Ocean Avenue, Lakewood, NJ 08701, Attn: Samuel M. Shiel (“Escrow Agent”). On the Initial Closing Date, upon the MIPA Closing, the entire amount of the Deposit shall be applied to the MIPA Purchase Price. As of the Effective Date, Assignor and Assignee hereby acknowledge and agree that the Deposit is held by Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(b)    Prior to the Purchase Agreement Closing, Assignee shall deposit, by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to an account designated by Escrow Agent, such portion of the MIPA Purchase Price (determined pursuant to Section 6.2 below) as to permit Closing on each applicable Closing Date.

4.    Escrow Terms. This Agreement, together with such further instructions, if any, as the parties shall provide to Escrow Agent by written agreement, shall constitute the escrow instructions to the Escrow Agent, including without limitation the standard printed general escrow instructions of Escrow Agent, incorporated herein by this reference.

5.    Roof Repairs Credit. Assignor and Assignee hereby acknowledge that the exterior roofs pertaining to certain of the Facilities more particularly described on Schedule “5” attached hereto and located in the State of Louisiana are in need of repair and/or replacement (collectively, the “Roof Repairs”). Following the MIPA Closing, the applicable OTA Transferees shall commence the Roof Repairs, which shall be performed and completed in a good and workmanlike manner. Assignor hereby agrees to give Assignee a credit to the MIPA Purchase Price in the amount of $647,000.00 to be used by Assignee and/or OTA Transferees towards the costs and expenses of performing and completing the Roof Repairs.

6.2    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, if as of the Initial Closing Date, any of the Facilities are Deferred Facilities, then (a) the MIPA Closing and the Purchase Agreement Closing for such Deferred Facilities shall occur on each Subsequent Closing Date, in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 2.04 of the Purchase Agreement, and (b) the portion of the MIPA Purchase Price payable by Assignee at each of the Initial Closing and each Subsequent Closing shall be determined in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 2.02(a) of the Purchase Agreement, with all references to “Purchase Price” being references to the “MIPA Purchase Price” under this Agreement. “Deferred Facility Values and “Excluded Facility Values” shall be those values derived under the Purchase Agreement.
