2. ACQUISITIONS AND SALES.
(a) Asset Acquisitions and Sales. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing:
(i) Purchaser shall cause New Joint Venture (or a subsidiary of the New Joint Venture) to acquire from each Non-Ranger Property Owner, and each Non-Ranger Property Owner shall transfer and assign to New Joint Venture (or a subsidiary of the New Joint Venture), (1) its Non-Ranger Properties; (2) the fixtures, furnishings, furniture, equipment, machinery, inventory, appliances and other personal property owned by such Non-
Ranger Seller, located at such Non-Ranger Properties (collectively, the “Personalty”), subject to depletions, replacements or additions thereto in the ordinary course of business; (3) all rights, privileges, easements and appurtenances to such Non-Ranger Properties, if any, including, without limitation, all of such Non-Ranger Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all operating agreements, reciprocal easement agreements, ground leases, mineral and water rights and all easements, rights-of-way and other appurtenances used or connected with the beneficial use or enjoyment of such Non-Ranger Properties; (4) all non-exclusive trademarks and trade names (if any) used or useful in connection with such Non-Ranger Properties, but only to the extent that the same are not trademarks or trade names of such Non-Ranger Seller or any of such Non-Ranger Seller’s affiliated companies, and (5) such Non-Ranger Seller’s interest (if any) in and to any guarantees, licenses, approvals, certificates, permits, plans and specifications, drawings and warranties relating to the such Property or the Personalty, to the extent assignable, in each case free and clear of all liens, security interests, pledges and other encumbrances;
(ii) Purchaser shall cause New Joint Venture (or a subsidiary of the New Joint Venture) to acquire, accept and assume from each Non-Ranger Property Owner, and each Non-Ranger Property Owner shall transfer and assign to New Joint Venture (or a subsidiary of the New Joint Venture), its interest in each Internal Operating Lease to which it is a party, free and clear of all liens, security interests, pledges and other encumbrances; and
(iii) Purchaser shall cause New Joint Venture (or a subsidiary of the New Joint Venture) to acquire, accept and assume from each Master Landlord, and each Master Landlord shall transfer and assign to New Joint Venture (or a subsidiary of the New Joint Venture), its interest in each Internal Operating Lease and each Non-Ranger Operating Lease to which it is a party, free and clear of all liens, security interests, pledges and other encumbrances.
(b) Interest Acquisitions and Sales. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing:
(i) Purchaser shall cause New Joint Venture (or a subsidiary of the New Joint Venture) to acquire from FCSAF Ranger, and FCSAF Ranger shall transfer and assign to New Joint Venture (or a subsidiary of the New Joint Venture), the Properties Co Interests, free and clear of all liens, security interests, pledges and other encumbrances; and
(ii) Purchaser shall cause New Joint Venture (or a subsidiary of the New Joint Venture) to acquire from each FC Ranger Owner, and each FC Ranger Owner shall transfer and assign to New Joint Venture (or a subsidiary of the New Joint Venture), its FC Ranger Interests, free and clear of all liens, security interests, pledges and other encumbrances.
(c) Tax Treatment.
(i) In connection with the Asset Acquisitions and Interest Acquisitions, on the Closing Date, each of the Liquidating Partnerships shall transfer its
interests with respect to the Portfolios to Purchaser in exchange for cash and partnership common units of New Joint Venture as provided for below.
(ii) Unless otherwise required by law, the parties intend and agree that the Asset Acquisitions and Interest Acquisitions, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, shall constitute an “assets over” partnership consolidation of each of the Liquidating Partnerships into New Joint Venture within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.708-1(c)(3)(i) with each of the Liquidating Partnerships being treated as terminating partnerships and New Joint Venture being treated as a new partnership.
(iii) Unless otherwise required by law, the parties intend and agree that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and for all relevant state tax purposes solely with respect to states that follow such U.S. federal income tax treatment), (i) any payment of cash for units of partnership interests of the Liquidating Partnerships (each a “Unit”) shall be treated as a sale of such interests by such holder and a purchase of such Units by Purchaser for the cash so paid under the terms of this Agreement in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.708-1(c)(3) and 1.708-1(c)(4), which will result in the deemed termination of each Liquidating Partnership pursuant to Section 708(b)(1)(B) of the Code, and (ii) each such holder of Units who accepts cash explicitly agrees and consents to such treatment. Furthermore, unless otherwise required by law, the parties hereto intend and agree that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and for all relevant state tax purposes solely with respect to states that follow such U.S. federal income tax treatment), (x) any holder of Units receiving partnership common units of New Joint Venture under the terms of this Agreement shall be treated as receiving the partnership common units of New Joint Venture pursuant to a distribution in complete liquidation of such holder’s interest in the Liquidating Partnerships, and (y) each such holder of Units who accepts partnership common units of New Joint Venture explicitly agrees and consents to such treatment. Any cash to which a holder of Units is entitled pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid only after such holder provides a written consent in the form of Schedule 1-7 that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the receipt of cash shall be treated as described in this paragraph. The consents described in this Section 2(c)(iii) shall be provided to the Administrative Member (as defined in the JV Agreement) on or prior to the Closing Date, and the Administrative Member shall retain such consent records and, upon the reasonable request of Purchaser, shall make copies of such consents available to Purchaser.
(iv) For the avoidance of doubt, New Joint Venture shall not be allocated any income, gain, loss and deduction as a partner for U.S. federal income tax purposes from any Liquidating Partnership.
(d) Withholding Rights. Each of New Joint Venture and Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment otherwise payable by it pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code or any provisions of applicable state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by New Joint Venture or Purchaser, as applicable, such deducted and withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of
this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.
3. ACCESS/DUE DILIGENCE.
(a) During the period commencing on the date hereof (the “Effective Date”) and continuing until the Closing Date, Purchaser shall conduct its review and due diligence of, and physically inspect, as applicable, the Properties, the Ranger Subsidiary Entities and the Interests in accordance with this Section 3. Purchaser and its agents, employees, consultants, inspectors, appraisers, engineers and contractors (collectively “Purchaser’s Representatives”) shall have the right, through the Closing Date (provided that this Agreement shall not have terminated in accordance with Section 3(f) or 41), from time to time, upon the advance notice required and subject to the limitations described in Section 3(c), to (i) enter upon and pass through the Properties during normal business hours to examine and inspect the same and (ii) review, copy and inspect all books, records and financial statements of the Seller and all Ranger Subsidiary Entities relating to the Interests, the Ranger Subsidiary Entities, and the Properties. For the avoidance of doubt, the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (as defined below) shall not prevent Purchaser from conducting any of the due diligence activities set forth in this Section 3 unless this Agreement shall be terminated.
(b) Intentionally Omitted.
(c) In conducting the inspection of the Properties and its due diligence review, Purchaser shall at all times comply with all laws and regulations of all applicable Governmental Authorities, and neither Purchaser nor any of Purchaser’s Representatives shall (i) contact or have any discussions with any of Seller’s employees or representatives (other than Seller’s attorneys), or with any tenants at, or contractors providing services to, any of the Properties, unless in each case Purchaser obtains the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, it being agreed that (x) all such contacts or discussions shall, pending any such reasonable approval, be directed to Xxxxx Xxxxxx and subsequent to such approval shall only be conducted if a representative of Seller is included in such contact and/or discussion, and (y) under no circumstances will Purchaser have the right to communicate with residents at any Property, (ii) unreasonably interfere with the business of Seller (or any of its tenants) conducted at any of the Properties or unreasonably disturb the use or occupancy of any occupant of any of the Properties or (iii) damage any of the Properties. In conducting the foregoing inspection or otherwise accessing the Properties, Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives shall at all times comply with, and shall be subject to, the rights of the Operators under the Operating Leases and the residents under the Resident Agreements (and any Persons claiming under or through such Persons). Seller may from time to time establish reasonable rules of conduct for Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives in furtherance of the foregoing. Purchaser shall schedule and coordinate all inspections, including, without limitation, any environmental tests, and/or discussions or communications as described above, with Seller and shall give Seller at least forty-eight (48) hours’ prior notice thereof. Seller shall be entitled to have a representative present at all times during each such inspection, other access or contact and/or discussion. In the event that the Closing hereunder shall not occur for any reason whatsoever (other than a Seller’s willful default), then Purchaser shall pay to Seller promptly upon written demand the reasonable out-of-pocket cost of repairing and restoring any
damage or disturbance which Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives shall cause to any of the Properties. In the event that the Closing hereunder shall not occur for any reason whatsoever, Purchaser shall promptly return to Seller copies of all due diligence materials delivered by Seller to Purchaser and shall destroy all copies and abstracts thereof. Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives shall not be permitted to take soil or ground water samples or to conduct borings of any of the Properties or drilling in or on any of the Properties, or any other invasive testing, in connection with the preparation of an environmental audit or in connection with any other inspection of the Properties without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any liens against the Properties, or any portion thereof, arising from the performance of services by third-party contractors in connection with Purchaser’s due diligence activities shall be removed by Purchaser as promptly as practicable and in any event not later than the earlier to occur of (x) fifteen (15) business days after Purchaser shall have been notified in writing of the filing of such liens or (y) the Closing Date. The provisions of this Section 3(c) shall survive the Closing (but subject, in this case, to the terms of the JV Agreement) or any termination of this Agreement.
(d) Prior to conducting any physical inspection or testing at any of the Properties, other than mere visual examination, including without limitation, boring, drilling and sampling of soil or ground water, Purchaser shall obtain, and during the period of such inspection or testing shall maintain, at its expense, commercial general liability insurance, including a contractual liability endorsement, and personal injury liability coverage, with Seller and its managing agent, if any, and any other entity reasonably designated by Seller in writing, as additional insureds, from an insurer reasonably acceptable to Seller, which insurance policies must have limits for bodily injury and death of not less than Three Million and 00/100 Dollars ($3,000,000.00) for any one occurrence and not less than Three Million and 00/100 Dollars ($3,000,000.00) for property damage liability for any one occurrence. Prior to making any entry upon any of the Properties, Purchaser shall furnish to Seller a certificate of insurance evidencing the foregoing coverages.
(e) Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold Seller and its disclosed or undisclosed, direct and indirect affiliates, shareholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and trustees, principals, agents, contractors and any successors or assigns of the foregoing (each, including Seller, a “Seller Party” and, collectively with Seller, “Seller Parties”), without duplication, harmless from and against any and all reasonable out-of-pocket losses, costs, damages, liens, claims, liabilities or expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees) actually incurred by any of the Seller Parties arising from or by reason of Purchaser’s and/or Purchaser’s Representatives’ access to, or inspection of, the Properties, or any tests, inspections or other due diligence conducted by or on behalf of Purchaser (whether or not the same shall occur during the Due Diligence Period), except to the extent such losses, costs, damages, liens, claims, liabilities or expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees) are caused by any existing conditions at any of the Properties or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Seller Parties. The provisions of this Section 3(e) shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.
(f) From and after the Effective Date and through the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement if Purchaser is not satisfied, in its sole and absolute discretion, with any of the diligence items, issues or
conditions described on Schedule 3(f) to this Agreement (each a “Termination Cause”) by delivering notice thereof to Seller (the “Due Diligence Notice”), which Due Diligence Notice must be delivered to Seller, no later than 11:59 p.m., New York time, on the last day of the Due Diligence Period (as the same may be extended by Purchaser in accordance with this Section 3(f)), stating that Seller has elected to terminate this Agreement as a result of a Termination Cause, setting forth the circumstances that gave rise to such Termination Cause. If Purchaser shall fail to deliver timely to Seller a Due Diligence Notice as aforesaid, then this Agreement shall automatically be deemed to continue and not terminated upon the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (as the same may be extended by Purchaser in accordance with this Section 3(f)) without any further action or notice by either Seller or Purchaser. If this Agreement terminates pursuant to this Section 3(f) following delivery of a Due Diligence Notice and (i) Purchaser has not elected to extend the Initial Due Diligence Period to the Extended Due Diligence Period, then this Agreement shall immediately terminate and neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except those arising under provisions of this Agreement that expressly survive the termination hereof, and (ii) Purchaser has previously elected to extend the Initial Due Diligence Period to the Extended Due Diligence Period, then this Agreement shall immediately terminate, Seller shall have the right to retain the Initial Deposit, and neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except those arising under provisions of this Agreement that expressly survive the termination hereof. For the purposes hereof, the “Initial Diligence Period” shall mean the period commencing on the Effective Date and continuing until 11:59 p.m., New York time, on March 31, 2014. Purchaser shall have the right, in its sole discretion, by written notice (the “Extension Notice”) to Seller prior to the expiration of the Initial Due Diligence Period, to extend the Initial Due Diligence Period until 11:59 p.m., New York time, on April 15, 2014 (the “Extended Due Diligence Period”; and together with the Initial Due Diligence Period, the “Due Diligence Period”). If Purchaser fails to timely deliver the Extension Notice, the Due Diligence Period shall be deemed to expire as of the expiration of the Initial Due Diligence Period.
4. PURCHASE PRICE AND DEPOSIT.
Subject to adjustment pursuant to Sections 6, 7, 12 and 13, the aggregate consideration which shall be received under this Agreement for the Properties acquired through the Interest Acquisitions and the Asset Acquisitions (the “Purchase Price”) is (A) ONE BILLION FIFTY MILLION and 00/100 Dollars ($1,050,000,000.00), which shall be allocated among each of the Portfolios and further between each Property and any Personalty in accordance with Schedule 41(g) and the statement provided pursuant to Section 41(g), minus (B) the outstanding principal balance of any Assumed Existing Indebtedness (as hereinafter defined), which shall be allocated among each of the Portfolios and further between each Property in accordance with the statement provided pursuant to Section 41(g), and subject to apportionment as provided in Section 7, payable in cash, equity interests of New Joint Venture or a combination of both in accordance with the statement provided pursuant to Section 41(g), as follows:
(a) (i) On the Effective Date, Purchaser shall pay to Seller the sum of ONE HUNDRED and 00/100 Dollars ($100.00) as independent consideration for Seller entering into this Agreement (the “Independent Consideration”), which amount shall be non-refundable absent Seller’s default hereunder. Seller shall have no obligation to deposit the
Independent Consideration with Escrow Agent. By execution of this Agreement, Seller hereby acknowledges receipt of the Independent Consideration.
(ii) If Purchaser elects not to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 3(f) and does not elect to extend the Due Diligence Period for the Extended Due Diligence Period, then one (1) business day following the expiration of the Initial Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall deliver to the Escrow Agent via wire transfer in immediately available federal funds the amount of NINE MILLION and 00/100 Dollars ($9,000,000.00) to the escrow account of Escrow Agent in accordance with the wire instructions set forth on Exhibit B (such deposit, if made pursuant to this Section 4(a)(ii), together with all interest accrued thereon, the “Deposit”).
(iii) If Purchaser elects to extend the Due Diligence Period for the Extended Due Diligence Period, then, in lieu of delivering the Deposit pursuant to Section 4(a)(ii),
(1) on the last business day of the Initial Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall deliver to Escrow Agent via wire transfer in immediately available federal funds the amount of FOUR MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND and 00/100 Dollars ($4,500,000.00) to the escrow account of Escrow Agent in accordance with the wire instructions set forth on Exhibit B (such deposit, if made pursuant to this Section 4(a)(iii)(1), together with all interest accrued thereon, the “Initial Deposit”); and
(2) if Purchaser elects not to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 3(f) prior to the expiration of the Extended Due Diligence Period, then Purchaser shall deliver to Escrow Agent via wire transfer in immediately available federal funds the additional amount of FOUR MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND and 00/100 Dollars ($4,500,000.00) to the escrow account of Escrow Agent in accordance with the wire instructions set forth on Exhibit B (such deposit, if made pursuant to this Section 4(a)(iii)(2), together with all interest accrued thereon, the “Additional Deposit”; and together with the Initial Deposit, collectively, the “Deposit”).
(b) (i) Upon receipt by Escrow Agent of the Deposit or any portion thereof, Escrow Agent shall cause the same to be deposited into an interest bearing account at Capital One or another national bank selected by Escrow Agent and approved by Purchaser, it being agreed that Escrow Agent shall not be liable for (y) any loss of such investment (unless due to Escrow Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement) or (z) any failure to attain a favorable rate of return on such investment. Escrow Agent shall deliver the Deposit to Seller or to Purchaser, as the case may be, under the following conditions:
(1) The Deposit shall be delivered to Seller at the Closing upon receipt by Escrow Agent of a statement executed by Seller and Purchaser authorizing the Deposit to be released; or
(2) The Deposit shall be delivered to Seller following receipt by Escrow Agent of written demand therefor from Seller stating that Purchaser has
defaulted in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, provided Purchaser shall not have given written notice of objection in accordance with the provisions set forth below; or
(3) The Deposit shall be delivered to Purchaser following receipt by Escrow Agent of written demand therefor from Purchaser stating that Seller has defaulted in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement or that this Agreement was terminated under circumstances entitling Purchaser to the return of the Deposit, and specifying the Section of this Agreement which entitles Purchaser to the return of the Deposit, in each case provided Seller shall not have given written notice of objection in accordance with the provisions set forth below; or
(4) The Deposit shall be delivered to Purchaser or Seller as directed by joint written instructions of Seller and Purchaser.
(ii) Upon the filing of a written demand for the Deposit by Seller or Purchaser, pursuant to subsection (2) or (3) above, Escrow Agent shall promptly give notice thereof (including a copy of such demand) to the other party. The other party shall have the right to object to the delivery of the Deposit, by giving written notice of such objection to Escrow Agent at any time within ten (10) days after such party’s receipt of notice from Escrow Agent, but not thereafter. Such notice shall set forth the basis (in reasonable detail) for objecting to the delivery of the Deposit. Upon receipt of such notice of objection, Escrow Agent shall promptly give a copy of such notice to the party who filed the written demand. If Escrow Agent shall have timely received such notice of objection, then Escrow Agent shall continue to hold the Deposit, until (x) Escrow Agent receives joint written notice from Seller and Purchaser directing the disbursement of the Deposit, in which case Escrow Agent shall then disburse the Deposit, in accordance with said direction, or (y) litigation is commenced between Seller and Purchaser, in which case Escrow Agent shall deposit the Deposit with the clerk of the court in which said litigation is pending, or (z) Escrow Agent takes such affirmative steps as Escrow Agent may reasonably elect, at Escrow Agent’s option, in order to terminate Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder, including but not limited to depositing the Deposit in court and commencing an action for interpleader, the costs thereof to be borne by whichever of Seller or Purchaser is the losing party in such interpleader action, as determined by a final non-appealable order of such court.
(iii) Escrow Agent may rely and act upon any instrument or other writing reasonably believed by Escrow Agent to be genuine and purporting to be signed and presented by any Person or Persons purporting to have authority to act on behalf of Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, and shall not be liable in connection with the performance of any duties imposed upon Escrow Agent by the provisions of this Agreement, except for Escrow Agent’s own gross negligence, willful misconduct or beach of this Agreement. Escrow Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those set forth herein. Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any modification, cancellation or rescission of this Agreement unless the same is in writing and signed by Purchaser and Seller, and, if Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder are affected, unless Escrow Agent shall have given prior written consent thereto. Escrow Agent shall be reimbursed by Seller and Purchaser for any expenses (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements of outside counsel), including all of Escrow Agent’s fees and expenses with respect to any interpleader action incurred in
connection with this Agreement, and such liability shall be joint and several; provided, that, as between Purchaser and Seller, the prevailing party in any dispute over the Deposit shall be entitled to reimbursement by the losing party of any such expenses paid to Escrow Agent. In the event that Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to Escrow Agent’s duties or rights hereunder, or shall receive instructions from Purchaser or Seller that, in Escrow Agent’s opinion, are in conflict with any of the provisions hereof, Escrow Agent shall hold the Deposit and may decline to take any other action, unless directed in a joint written notice from Purchaser and Seller. After delivery of the Deposit in accordance herewith, Escrow Agent shall have no further liability or obligation of any kind whatsoever.
(iv) Escrow Agent shall have the right at any time to resign upon ten (10) business days’ prior notice to Seller and Purchaser. Seller and Purchaser shall jointly select a successor Escrow Agent and shall notify Escrow Agent of the name and address of such successor Escrow Agent within ten (10) business days after receipt of notice of Escrow Agent of its intent to resign. If Escrow Agent has not received notice of the name and address of such successor Escrow Agent within such period, Escrow Agent shall have the right to select on behalf of Seller and Purchaser a bank or trust company licensed to do business in the State of New York and having a branch located in New York County to act as successor Escrow Agent hereunder. At any time after the ten (10) business day period, Escrow Agent shall have the right to deliver the Deposit to any successor Escrow Agent selected hereunder, provided such successor Escrow Agent shall execute and deliver to Seller and Purchaser an assumption agreement whereby it assumes all of Escrow Agent’s obligations hereunder. Upon the delivery of all such amounts and such assumption agreement, the successor Escrow Agent shall become the Escrow Agent for all purposes hereunder and shall have all of the rights and obligations of the Escrow Agent hereunder, and the resigning Escrow Agent shall have no further responsibilities or obligations hereunder.
(v) Seller and Purchaser each hereby agrees to severally (but not jointly) indemnify, defend and hold harmless Escrow Agent from and against fifty percent (50%) of any and all loss, cost, damage, expense and reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses actually incurred by Escrow Agent arising out of it acting as the Escrow Agent hereunder, other than to the extent arising from Escrow Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement.
(vi) The interest earned on the Deposit shall be paid to the party entitled to receive the Deposit as provided in this Agreement. Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price with respect to any such interest paid to Seller at Closing. The party receiving such interest (including Purchaser if it receives a credit on account of same against the Purchase Price as aforesaid) shall pay any income taxes thereon. The taxpayer identification numbers of Seller and Purchaser shall be provided to Escrow Agent by such party upon request. The provisions of this Section 4(b) shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement.
(c) At the Closing, Seller shall be entitled to retain the Deposit and Purchaser shall deliver to Seller (i) the balance of the Purchase Price (i.e., the Purchase Price less the Deposit), as adjusted pursuant to Sections 6, 7 (including Section 7(b)(ii)), 12 and 13 , minus (ii) the Holdback Escrow Amount.
(d) All monies payable by Purchaser under this Agreement, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, shall be paid by Purchaser causing such monies to be wire transferred in immediately available federal funds at such bank account or accounts, and divided into such amounts, designated by Seller to Purchaser in writing at least two (2) business days prior to the date such funds are required to be paid as may be required to facilitate the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(e) As used in this Agreement, the term “business day” shall mean every day other than Saturdays, Sundays, all days observed by the federal or New York State government as legal holidays and all days on which commercial banks in New York State are required by law to be closed.
(f) Any reference in this Agreement to a “day” or a number of “days” (other than references to a “business day” or “business days”) shall mean a calendar day or calendar days, provided that if the calendar day or last calendar day to perform any act or give any notice or approval shall fall on a calendar day that is not a business day, such act or notice may be timely performed or given on the next succeeding business day.

(f) all presently existing and future liens of real estate assessments and water rates, water meter charges, water frontage charges and sewer taxes, rents and charges, if any, for the current year and affecting any of the Properties or any portion thereof, provided that such items are not due and payable as of the Closing Date and subject to proration in accordance with Section 7 hereof (to the extent applicable);
(g) the easements, conditions, restrictions, agreements and encumbrances set forth on Schedule 5(g);
(h) all notes or notices of violations of law, or municipal ordinances, orders, designations or requirements whatsoever noted in or issued by any federal, state, municipal or other governmental department, agency or bureau or any other governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Premises (collectively, “Violations”), existing on the Closing Date; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5(h), Seller shall pay or bond all monetary fines, fees or penalties accruing prior to the Closing Date with respect any Violations, but excluding those Violations that are the responsibility of any tenant under a lease to cure, correct or remove;
(i) such matters as the Title Company shall be willing, without special premium, to omit as exceptions to coverage or affirmatively insure over with respect to the Title Policy;

6. TITLE INSURANCE; LIENS.
(a) (i) Purchaser shall obtain a title commitment or report (the “Report”), from any national or local title insurance or abstract companies selected by Purchaser (collectively, the “Title Company”) for owner’s policies of title insurance (collectively, the “Title Policy”) from the Title Company (or its underwriter) with respect to title to each of the Properties and any financing related thereto.
(ii) Purchaser shall have no right to object to any exceptions or other matters disclosed in the Report except for the items in the Report not included as Permitted Encumbrances (collectively, the “Commitment Objections”). All such exceptions and other matters disclosed in the Report (other than the Commitment Objections) shall be deemed Permitted Encumbrances.
(iii) Purchaser shall direct the Title Company to deliver a copy of any updates to the Report obtained by Purchaser to Seller or Seller’s attorney simultaneously with its delivery of the same to Purchaser or Purchaser’s attorney. If, prior to the Closing Date, the Title Company shall deliver any update to the Report which discloses additional liens, encumbrances or other title exceptions which were not disclosed by the Report and which do not otherwise constitute Permitted Encumbrances hereunder (each, an “Update Exception”), then Purchaser shall have until the earlier of (y) ten (10) business days after delivery of such update to Purchaser or (z) the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date; provided, that if such update is delivered within fifteen (15) business days preceding the Scheduled Closing Date, the Scheduled Closing Date shall be postponed by the number of days between the date that is fifteen (15) business days before the Scheduled Closing Date and the date such update is delivered to Purchaser (the “Update Objection Deadline”) to deliver written notice to Seller objecting to any of the Update Exceptions (the “Update Objections”; the Update Objections and Commitment Objections are, collectively, the “Title Objections”). If Purchaser fails to deliver such objection notice by the Update Objection Deadline, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its right to object to any Update Exceptions (and the same shall not constitute Title Objections, but shall instead be deemed Permitted Encumbrances). If Purchaser shall deliver such objection notice by the Update Objection Deadline, any Update Exceptions which are not objected to in such notice shall not constitute Title Objections, but shall be Permitted Encumbrances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Seller Exceptions (as defined below) shall automatically be Update Objections without Purchaser’s being required to notify Seller of its objection to same.
(iv) Purchaser shall not be entitled to object to, and shall be deemed to have approved, any liens, encumbrances or other title exceptions (and the same shall not constitute Title Objections, but shall instead be deemed to be Permitted Encumbrances) (A) over which the Title Company is willing to insure (without additional cost to Purchaser or where Seller pays such cost for Purchaser) or (B) which are the responsibility of any Operator under its Operating Lease or a resident under the Resident Agreement to cure, correct or remove (collectively, the “Non-Objectionable Encumbrances”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Seller is unable to eliminate the Title Objections (other than the Seller Exceptions) by the Scheduled Closing Date, unless the same are waived by Purchaser without any abatement in the Purchase Price, Seller may, from time to time, upon at least five (5) business days’ prior notice to Purchaser (except with respect to matters first disclosed during such five (5) business day period, as to which matters notice may be given at any time through and including the Scheduled Closing Date) adjourn the Scheduled Closing Date for a period not to exceed forty-five (45) days in the aggregate (the “Title Cure Period”), in order to attempt to eliminate such exceptions.
(b) If Seller is unable to eliminate any Update Objection, which Seller is not otherwise required to eliminate and remove of record by the Scheduled Closing Date pursuant to Section 6(c) below, and the aggregate amount of Losses to Purchaser as a result of such Title Objections would be equal to or greater than $2,500,000, then Purchaser shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice given to Seller within twenty (20) business days following expiration of the Title Cure Period or (ii) close the transactions contemplated hereunder. If Purchaser shall fail to deliver the termination notice described within the twenty (20) business day period described above, Purchaser shall be deemed
to have made the election under clause (ii). Upon any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this clause (b), Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver the Deposit to Purchaser and neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except those arising under provisions of this Agreement that expressly survive the termination hereof.
(c) It is expressly understood that, except as further provided in this Section 6(c), in no event shall Seller be required to bring any action or institute any proceeding, or to otherwise incur any costs or expenses in order to attempt to eliminate any Title Objections, or take any other actions to cure or remove any Title Objections, or to otherwise cause title to any of the Properties to be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6 to the contrary, Seller shall be required to cause to be released, satisfied and otherwise removed of record as of the Closing Date, and shall have no right to adjourn the Scheduled Closing Date to do so, any Title Objections which are (collectively, the “Seller Exceptions”): (i) voluntarily recorded by Seller or any of the Ranger Subsidiary Entities or otherwise placed or permitted to be placed by Seller or any of the Ranger Subsidiary Entities against any of the Properties on or following the date hereof (other than with the prior written approval of Purchaser), (ii) voluntarily recorded by Seller or any of the Ranger Subsidiary Entities or otherwise placed or permitted to be placed by Seller or any of the Ranger Subsidiary Entities against any of the Properties prior to the date hereof consisting of mortgages, deeds of trust, security agreements, financing statements or other instruments which evidence or secure indebtedness (other than the Assumed Existing Indebtedness), (iii) mechanics’ liens, tax liens, real estate taxes, water rates and charges and sewer rents and taxes, each of which remain unpaid or of record as of the Closing Date, to the extent any of the foregoing are not the obligation of the Operator under its Operating Lease or a resident under the Resident Agreement, and (iv) not covered by sub-clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above and can be satisfied and discharged of record by the payment of a liquidated sum not in excess of One Million Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($1,500,000) in the aggregate for all Title Objections (the “Monetary Seller Exception Cap”). If Seller fails to discharge and remove of record any Seller Exceptions on or prior to the Closing Date, such failure shall constitute a default by Seller hereunder, and the provisions of Section 20(b) shall apply, unless Seller elects to apply a portion of the Purchase Price otherwise payable to Seller towards the cost of discharging and removing of record such Seller Exceptions in which case Seller shall not be deemed to not have defaulted hereunder; provided, however, that in no event shall Seller be required to pay any amount in excess of the Monetary Seller Exception Cap for the discharge and removal of Seller Exceptions.
(d) If Seller shall have adjourned the Scheduled Closing Date in order to cure Title Objections in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6, Seller shall, upon the satisfactory cure thereof, notify Purchaser (such notice being, the “New Closing Notice”) and Purchaser and Seller shall promptly reschedule the Scheduled Closing Date to a date that is at least ten (10) days and not more than thirty (30) days after the earlier of Purchaser’s receipt of the New Closing Notice and the expiration of the Title Cure Period; it being agreed, however, that if any Title Objections arise between the date the New Closing Notice is given and the rescheduled Scheduled Closing Date, Seller may again adjourn the Closing for a reasonable period or periods, in order to attempt to cause such exceptions to be eliminated; provided, that Seller shall not be entitled to adjourn the new Scheduled Closing Date pursuant to this Section 6 for a period or periods in excess of forty-five (45) days in the aggregate.
(e) Seller shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Title Company in connection with obtaining the Title Policy. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, at or prior to the Closing, Seller, the Ranger Subsidiary Entities and/or their respective general partners or members shall deliver to the Title Company such affidavits, certificates, other instruments and documentary evidence as are reasonably requested by the Title Company, including, without limitation, such affidavits and indemnities related to work, repairs and violations with respect to the Properties and/or showing that any judgments, bankruptcies or other returns are not against Seller or any of the Ranger Subsidiary Entities if any title commitment discloses judgments, bankruptcies or other returns against other Persons having names the same or similar to that of Seller or any of the Subsidiary Entities (collectively, the “Title Affidavit”).
7. APPORTIONMENTS.
(a) With respect to the Cascade Portfolio, Grace Portfolio, Kensington Portfolio, Decathlon Portfolio and Pentathlon Portfolio, in addition to the items set forth in the remaining provisions of this Section 7, the following shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser as of 11:59 p.m. on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Apportionment Date”) on the basis of the actual number of days of the month which shall have elapsed as of the Closing Date and based upon the actual number of days in the month and a 365 day year (to the extent applicable to any given Property):
(i) Monthly base rents (collectively, “Base Rents”) under the Operating Leases shall be adjusted and prorated on an if, as and when collected basis. Base Rents collected by Purchaser, New Joint Venture, or any of their direct or indirect Subsidiaries owning an interest in any Property following the Closing (collectively the “Purchaser Subsidiary Entities”) after the Closing Date from Operators who owe Base Rents for periods prior to the Closing Date as are set forth on the updated arrearage schedule to be provided by Seller to Purchaser at Closing, shall be applied, (A) first to rents due and payable for the calendar month in which the Closing occurs, (B) next to all rents due and payable for the period after the calendar month in which the Closing occurs, and (C) next to all rents due and payable for the period preceding the calendar month in which the Closing occurs. Each such amount, less reasonable out-of-pocket collection costs, shall be adjusted and prorated as provided above, and the party receiving such amount shall, within five (5) business days, pay to the other party the portion thereof to which it is so entitled.
(ii) The New Joint Venture shall, or shall cause any applicable Purchaser Subsidiary Entities to, xxxx Operators owing Base Rents for periods prior to the Closing Date as are set forth on such updated arrearage schedule, on a monthly basis and the New Joint Venture shall, or shall cause the applicable Purchaser Subsidiary Entities to, use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such past due Base Rents; provided, that such parties shall have no obligation to commence any actions or proceedings to collect any such past due Base Rents. Base Rents collected by any Purchaser Subsidiary Entity after the Closing Date to which Seller is entitled shall be paid to Seller within five (5) business days after receipt thereof by such Subsidiary Entity. The New Joint Venture shall, or shall cause the applicable Purchaser Subsidiary Entities to, provide Seller with monthly reports setting
forth the status of such collection efforts. Seller shall not take any action to pursue such Operators to collect such delinquencies.
(iii) With respect to any Operating Lease that provides for the payment of additional, participation, percentage or escalation rent based upon (A) a percentage of an Operator’s gross revenues or net operating income during a specified annual or other period or (B) increases in real estate taxes, operating expenses, labor costs, cost of living indices or xxxxxx’x wages (collectively, “Overage Rent”), such Overage Rent shall be adjusted and prorated on an if, as and when collected basis.
(iv) The New Joint Venture shall, or shall cause the applicable Purchaser Subsidiary Entities to, (A) promptly render bills for any Overage Rent payable for any accounting period that expired prior to the Closing Date, but which is to be paid after the Closing Date as are set forth on an the updated arrearage schedule to be provided by Seller to Purchaser at Closing; (B) xxxx Operators for such Overage Rent attributable to an accounting period that expired prior to the Closing Date as are set forth on such arrearage schedule, on a monthly basis; and (C) use commercially reasonable efforts in the collection of such Overage Rent; provided, that such parties shall have no obligation to commence any actions or proceedings to collect any such Overage Rent. Seller shall not take any action to pursue such Operators to collect such delinquencies. Seller shall furnish to Purchaser all information relating to the period prior to the Closing Date necessary for the billing of such Overage Rent, and the New Joint Venture shall, or shall cause the applicable Purchaser Subsidiary Entities to, deliver to Seller, concurrently with delivery to Operators, copies of all statements relating to Overage Rent for any period prior to the Closing Date, including the aforementioned updated arrearage schedule. The New Joint Venture shall, or shall cause the applicable Purchaser Subsidiary Entities to, xxxx Operators for Overage Rents for accounting periods prior to the Closing Date in accordance with and on the basis of such information furnished by Seller.
(v) Overage Rent payable for the accounting period in which the Closing Date occurs shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser based upon the ratio that the portion of such accounting period prior to the Closing Date bears to the entire such accounting period. If, prior to the Closing Date, any Seller or Seller Party receives any installments of Overage Rent attributable to Overage Rent for periods from and after the Closing Date, such sums (less reasonable out-of-pocket collection costs actually incurred by Seller or any Subsidiary Entity) shall be apportioned at the Closing Date. If any Purchaser Subsidiary Entity receives any installments of Overage Rent attributable to Overage Rent for periods prior to the accounting period in which the Closing Date occurs, such sums (less reasonable out-of-pocket collection costs actually incurred by Purchaser or any Subsidiary Entity) shall be paid to Seller within five (5) business days after the Subsidiary Entity receives payment thereof.
(vi) Any payment by Operators of Overage Rent shall be applied to Overage Rent then due and payable in the following order of priority: (A) first, in payment of Overage Rent for the accounting period in which the Closing Date occurs (subject to apportionment pursuant to this Section 7), (B) second, in payment of Overage Rent for the accounting period following the one in which the Closing Date occurs, and (C) third, in
payment of Overage Rent for the period preceding the accounting period in which the Closing Date occurs.
(vii) To the extent any portion of Overage Rent is required to be paid monthly by Operators on account of estimated amounts for the current period, and at the end of each calendar year (or, if applicable, at the end of each lease year or tax year or any other applicable accounting period), such estimated amounts are to be recalculated based upon the actual expenses, taxes and other relevant factors for that calendar (lease or tax) year, with the appropriate adjustments being made with such Operators, then such portion of the Overage Rent shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser on the Closing Date based on such estimated payments (i.e., with (x) Seller entitled to retain all monthly installments of such amounts with respect to periods prior to the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs, to the extent such amounts are as of the Closing Date estimated to equal the amounts ultimately due to Seller for such periods, (y) Purchaser entitled to receive all monthly installments of such amounts with respect to periods following the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs, and (z) Seller and Purchaser apportioning all monthly installments of such amounts with respect to the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs). At the time(s) of final calculation and collection from (or refund to) Operators of the amounts in reconciliation of actual Overage Rent for a period for which estimated amounts have been prorated, there shall be a re-proration between Seller and Purchaser, with the net credit resulting from such re-proration, after accounting for amounts required to be refunded to Operators, being payable to the appropriate party (i.e., to Seller if the recalculated amounts exceed the estimated amounts and to Purchaser if the recalculated amounts are less than the estimated amounts).
(viii) To the extent that any Operator, pursuant to a right contained in an existing Operating Lease, conducts an audit respecting any Overage Rent calculation (a “Rent Audit”) for an accounting period that expired prior to the Closing Date, or otherwise becomes entitled to a refund of Overage Rent with respect to a period prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall be liable for any refunds due to such Operator or shall be entitled to receive and retain any additional payments due from such Operator as the result of such Rent Audit. The results of any Rent Audit for any other accounting period shall be apportioned in the same manner as Overage Rent. Rent Audits for accounting periods that expire prior to the Closing Date shall be settled by Seller in accordance with the applicable existing Operating Lease, subject to Purchaser’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided, that Purchaser’s consent to any such settlement shall not be required if the Operator as part of such settlement agrees that such settlement shall not be binding on the landlord in calculating similar amounts for subsequent years and that such Operator will not introduce any such settlement in challenging amounts due in any such subsequent year. Rent Audits for accounting periods prior to the Closing Date but extending after the Closing Date shall be settled by the Purchaser Subsidiary Entities (as controlled by the New Joint Venture) in accordance with the applicable existing Operating Lease, but Seller shall receive notice of all negotiations or proceedings in connection therewith, shall have the right to participate and/or intervene therein and shall be entitled to approve all matters to be approved by the landlord under the applicable existing Operating Lease in connection therewith, including, without limitation, settlements of any such proceedings, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned as long as any such settlement includes a full and final release of the Seller as a predecessor landlord.
(ix) To the extent that any amounts are paid or payable to Seller or any Purchaser Subsidiary Entity by an Operator under an Operating Lease in advance of the period to which such expense applies, whether as a one-time payment or in installments (e.g. for real property tax escalations), such amounts shall be apportioned as provided above but based upon the period for which such payments were or are being made.
(x) To the extent any payment received from an Operator after Closing does not indicate whether the payment is for an item of Base Rent or Overage Rent, and the same cannot be clearly determined from the context of such payment, then such payment will be applied (x) first to payment of any Base Rent then due or delinquent, in accordance with paragraphs (i) and (ii) above, and (y) second to any Overage Rent then due or delinquent, in accordance with paragraphs (iii)-(ix) above.
(xi) Debt service payable on the Existing Loans (as hereinafter defined) shall be apportioned as provided above.
(b) With respect to the Ranger Portfolio:
(i) Not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, Seller shall prepare in good faith and deliver to Purchaser a statement that shall set forth the estimated Ranger Closing Net Working Capital (“Estimated Ranger Closing Net Working Capital Statement”). For purposes hereof, “Ranger Closing Net Working Capital” means an amount equal to (i) the current assets of FC Ranger and Ranger Properties Co and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (excluding deferred Tax assets), less (ii) the current liabilities of the FC Ranger and Ranger Properties Co and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (excluding deferred Tax liabilities), as of 11:59 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date, each as calculated in accordance with the policies, procedures and methodologies contained on Exhibit C attached hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, any costs or expenses of FC Ranger and Ranger Properties Co and its subsidiaries incurred (whether or not billed) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement but not paid prior to the Closing shall be current liabilities of FC Ranger and Ranger Properties Co for purposes of determining Ranger Closing Net Working Capital.
(ii) If the Estimated Ranger Closing Working Capital (A) exceeds the amount specified as the “Reference Net Working Capital” on Exhibit C attached hereto (the “Reference Net Working Capital”), then the cash consideration payable at Closing in respect of the Ranger Portfolio pursuant to Section 4 will be increased by the amount of such excess or (B) is less than the Reference Net Working Capital, then the cash consideration payable at Closing in respect of the Ranger Portfolio pursuant to Section 4 will be decreased by the amount of such deficit.
(iii) Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare in good faith, and deliver to the Stakeholder Representatives, a statement that shall set forth the Ranger Closing Net Working Capital (the “Closing Ranger
Net Working Capital Statement”). The Closing Ranger Net Working Capital Statement shall be prepared in accordance with accounting principles, policies and practices used in the preparation of the Estimated Ranger Net Working Capital Statement. Following delivery of the Closing Ranger Net Working Capital Statement, the Stakeholder Representatives shall have reasonable access to the work papers and other materials used by Purchaser in the preparation of the Closing Ranger Net Working Capital Statement.
(iv) The Closing Ranger Net Working Capital Statement shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties unless the Stakeholder Representatives provide a written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) to Purchaser no later than thirty (30) days after delivery of the Closing Ranger Net Working Capital Statement setting forth in reasonable detail any item on the Closing Ranger Net Working Capital Statement that the Stakeholder Representatives believe has not been prepared correctly in accordance with Exhibit C. Any item to which no dispute is raised in the Dispute Notice shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties.
(v) Purchaser and the Stakeholder Representatives will attempt to resolve the items raised in a Dispute Notice in good faith for a period of twenty (20) days following the delivery of a Dispute Notice. During such twenty (20) day period, the Stakeholder Representatives and their representatives shall have reasonable access to, and be able to make copies of, the work papers used by Purchaser in the preparation of the Closing Ranger Net Working Capital Statement, and shall have reasonable access to Purchaser’s personnel and representatives who assisted in the preparation of the Closing Ranger Net Working Capital Statement. Amounts resolved by such attempts within the twenty (20) day period will be deemed to have been finally resolved for purposes of the Dispute Notice and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. If Purchaser and the Stakeholder Representatives are unable to resolve all disputed items in the Dispute Notice within the twenty (20) day period, Purchaser and the Stakeholder Representatives will submit the disputed items (together with the Closing Ranger Net Working Capital Statement and the Dispute Notice (as modified to reflect any mutually agreed upon resolution to any one or more items)) for determination to KPMG LLP or such other nationally recognized independent auditor as may be mutually agreed between Purchaser and the Stakeholder Representatives (the “Auditor”) as promptly as practicable, and not later than ten (10) days after the expiration of the twenty (20) day period. Purchaser and the Stakeholder Representatives shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Auditor to render its decision within forty-five (45) days (and in any event as soon as practicable) after the submission to the Auditor of the disputed items, including by promptly complying with all reasonable requests by the Auditor for access to working papers, information, books, records and similar items and personnel and representatives of the Parties and their Affiliates to the extent practicable. The Auditor will review only those items and amounts specifically submitted by Purchaser and the Stakeholder Representatives. The Auditor’s determination shall be (i) in writing, (ii) furnished to each of the Parties within forty-five (45) days, to the extent practicable, and in any event as promptly as practicable, after the items or amounts in dispute have been referred to the Auditor, (iii) made in accordance with this Section 7(b)(v), and (iv) final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. Nothing herein will be construed as to authorize or permit the Auditor to determine any question or matter whatsoever under or in connection with this Agreement, except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. The fees and expenses of the Auditor with
respect to the dispute referred to in this Section 7(b)(v) shall be borne by Purchaser and the Stakeholder Representatives in proportion to the Auditor’s determination of the Ranger Closing Net Working Capital relative to Purchaser’s and the Stakeholder Representatives’ respective calculations of the Ranger Closing Net Working Capital, as submitted to the Auditor.
(vi) Promptly, and in any event no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day, after final determination of each of the Ranger Closing Working Capital in accordance with Section 7(b)(iv) and/or Section 7(b)(v) (the “Final Closing Ranger Net Working Capital”), the cash consideration paid at Closing in respect of the Ranger Portfolio pursuant to Section 4 shall be adjusted as follows:
(1) If the Final Closing Ranger Net Working Capital is greater than the Estimated Closing Ranger Net Working Capital, Purchaser shall pay the amount of such excess to the Stakeholder Representatives on behalf of the Ranger Sellers, to be distributed to the Ranger Sellers in accordance with the statement provided pursuant to Section 41(g).
(2) If the Estimated Closing Ranger Net Working Capital is greater than the Final Closing Ranger Net Working Capital, the Stakeholder Representatives, on behalf of the Ranger Sellers, shall cause the amount of such excess to be paid to Purchaser from the Holdback Escrow Account in accordance with the terms set forth in the Holdback Escrow Agreement; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, any such payment shall not be considered a payment with respect to an indemnification claim or count towards the limit on such payments by Seller pursuant to Section 11(k)(iii)(2).
(vii) In addition to the adjustment set forth in Section 7(b)(ii), the cash consideration payable at Closing in respect of the Ranger Portfolio pursuant to Section 4 shall be adjusted as follows:
(1) decreased (with respect to any positive number) or increased (with respect to any negative number), as applicable, by (A) the product of (I) the capital expenditures budget for the Ranger Portfolio for the calendar year 2014 that was previously provided by Seller to Purchaser (in the aggregate amount of $2,584,094) multiplied by (II) the 2014 Pro Rata Portion minus (B) amounts expended by Seller in calendar year 2014 prior to the Closing Date for such budgeted capital expenditures for the Ranger Portfolio. “2014 Pro Rata Portion” means a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in calendar year 2014 preceding the Closing Date and the denominator of which is 365;
(2) decreased by the excess (if any) of (I) the lesser of (A) the aggregate cost of immediate repair conditions listed on the property conditions reports obtained by Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement with respect to the Ranger Properties (other than the Ranger Properties known as Garden Estates of Temple and Garden Estates of Tyler) and (B) $400,000 over (II) amounts expended by Seller prior to the Closing Date for such immediate repair conditions; and
(3) decreased by the aggregate cost of the unperformed items set forth on Exhibit A to Schedule 3(f) with respect to the Ranger Properties known as Garden Estates of Temple and Garden Estates of Tyler.
(c) The New Joint Venture shall have no right to receive any rental insurance proceeds which relate to the period prior to the Closing Date and, if any such proceeds are delivered to any Purchaser Subsidiary Entity post-closing for the period prior to the Closing Date, the New Joint Venture shall cause the applicable Purchaser Subsidiary Entity, within five (5) business days following receipt thereof, to pay the same to Seller.
(d) Within thirty (30) days following the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a preliminary closing statement (the “Preliminary Closing Statement”) which will show the net amount due either to Seller or to Purchaser as the result of the adjustments and prorations provided for in Section 7(a), and such net due amount will be added to or subtracted from the cash balance of the Purchase Price to be paid to Seller at the Closing pursuant to Section 4, as applicable. Not later than two (2) business days prior to the Scheduled Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser shall agree on any revisions necessary to the Preliminary Closing Statement which Preliminary Closing Statement, as revised (the “Closing Statement”), shall be the basis on which adjustments pursuant to Section 7(a) shall be made as of the Closing Date.

The net amount due Seller or Purchaser, if any, by reason of adjustments to the Closing Statement as shown in the Final Closing Statement, shall be paid in cash by the party obligated therefor within five (5) business days following that party’s receipt of the approved Final Closing Statement; provided that any amount owed to Purchaser may be paid to Purchaser from the Holdback Escrow Account in accordance with the terms set forth in the Holdback Escrow Agreement; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, any such payment shall not be considered a payment with respect to an indemnification claim or count towards the limit on such payments by Seller pursuant to Section 11(k)(iii)(2). The adjustments, prorations and determinations agreed to by Seller and Purchaser in the Final Closing Statement shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto except for any items which are not capable of being determined at the time the Final Closing Statement is agreed to by Seller and Purchaser, which items shall be determined and paid in the manner set forth in the Final Closing Statement and except for other amounts payable hereunder pursuant to provisions which survive the Closing. Prior to and following the Closing Date, each party shall provide the other with such information as the other shall reasonably request (including, without limitation, access to the books, records, files, ledgers, information and data with respect to the Properties, Seller and the Purchaser Subsidiary Entities during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice) in order to make the preliminary and final adjustments and prorations provided for in Section 7(a).
(e) If any payment to be made after Closing under this Section 7 shall not be paid when due hereunder, the same shall bear interest (which shall be paid together with the applicable payment hereunder) from the date due until so paid at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate (as such rate may vary from time to time) as reported in The Wall Street Journal plus
5% (the “Default Rate”). To the extent a payment provision in this Section 7 does not specify a period for payment, then for purposes hereof such payment shall be due within five (5) business days of the date such payment obligation is triggered.
(f) The provisions of this Section 7 shall survive the Closing.

(g) Purchaser’s Disclosures. Seller acknowledges that Purchaser is the subsidiary of a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) and that, as such, it is subject to certain filing and reporting requirements in accordance with federal laws and regulations, including regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(1) Each Ranger Subsidiary Entity and each Liquidating Partnership has timely filed, or has caused to be timely filed on its behalf (taking into account any valid extension of time within which to file), all income, franchise and other material Tax Returns required to be filed by it, and all such filed Tax Returns are true, correct and complete in all material respects. All Taxes shown to be due on such Tax Returns, and all Taxes otherwise due and payable by each Ranger Subsidiary Entity and each Liquidating Partnership, have been timely paid.
(2) All material Taxes due and payable by each Ranger Subsidiary Entity and each Liquidating Partnership have been adequately provided for in their respective financial statements (in accordance with GAAP) for all periods covered by such financial statements.

(7) All material Taxes required to be withheld by any of the Ranger Subsidiary Entities or the Liquidating Partnerships (including withholding of Taxes pursuant to Sections 1441, 1442, 1445, 1446 and 3402 of the Code or similar provision under any foreign laws) have been withheld and have been or will be duly and timely paid to the proper taxing authority, and the Ranger Subsidiary Entities and the Liquidating Partnerships have complied in all material respects with applicable Tax information reporting laws.
(8) With respect to any taxable years ending on or before the Closing Date, none of the Ranger Subsidiary Entities is required to include in income any adjustment pursuant to Section 481(a) of the Code (or similar provision of state, local or foreign Law) by reason of a change in accounting method requested prior to the Closing Date or as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the Internal Revenue Service has not proposed any such adjustment or change in accounting method. None of the Ranger Subsidiary Entities will be required to include any item of income in, or exclude any material item of deduction from, taxable income for any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or after the Closing Date as a result of any (i) installment sale or open transaction disposition made on or prior to the Closing Date, (ii) prepaid amount received on or prior to the Closing Date, (iii) cancellation of indebtedness income deferred pursuant to Section 108(i) of the Code or (iv) any intercompany transaction or excess loss account described in Treasury Regulations under Section 1502 of the Code (or any similar provision of state or local law).
(9) None of the Ranger Subsidiary Entities has applied for, received, or has pending any request for a ruling or determination with respect to Taxes, commenced negotiations or entered into a “closing agreement” as described in Section 7121 of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law) or other similar agreement relating to Taxes with any Governmental Authority or entered into any other written agreement with a Governmental Authority with respect to Taxes.
(10) None of the Ranger Subsidiary Entities or the Liquidating Partnerships has participated in, or otherwise made a filing with respect to, any “reportable transaction” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations § 1.6011-4(b) (or similar provision of state, local or foreign law).
(11) For its taxable year ended December 31, 2014, FC Ranger intends to make an election to be subject to tax as a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) pursuant to Sections 856 through 860 of the Code. Commencing with its taxable year beginning January 1, 2014, FC Ranger has been organized and operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a real estate investment trust within the meaning of Section 856 of the Code (a “REIT”), and its proposed method of operation will enable it to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code.
(12) None of the Ranger Subsidiary Entities (i) has engaged at any time in any “prohibited transaction” within the meaning of Section 857(b)(6) of the Code, (ii) has engaged in any transaction that would give rise to “redetermined rents, redetermined deductions and excess interest” described in Section 857(b)(7) of the Code or (iii) has any earnings and profits accumulated in any “non-REIT year” (within the meaning of Section 857(a)(2) of the Code). None of the Ranger Subsidiary Entities has, since its inception, incurred any liability for Tax under Sections 857(b), 860(c), 1374 or 4981 of the Code, and no event has occurred, and no condition or circumstance exists, which presents a risk that any such Tax will be imposed. Since January 1, 2014, none of the Ranger Subsidiary Entities has received rent attributable to personal property with respect to any operating lease that exceeds 15 percent of the total rent for the taxable year attributable to both the real and personal property leased under, or in connection with, such operating lease.

Each Ranger Property is, and has been at all times since January 1, 2014, leased on arm’s length terms to a “taxable REIT subsidiary” of any of the Ranger Subsidiary Entities pursuant to Section 856(d)(8)(B) of the Code. No event has occurred, and no condition or circumstance exists, which presents a risk that either of the foregoing sentences will not continue to be true.
(14) There are no Tax Protection Agreements in force at the Effective Date, and, as of the Effective Date, no Person has raised, or to Seller’s Actual Knowledge, threatened to raise, a claim against any of the Ranger Subsidiary Entities or the Liquidating Partnerships for any breach of any Tax Protection Agreements. As used herein, “Tax Protection Agreements” means any agreement to which any of the Ranger Subsidiary Entities or the Liquidating Partnerships is a party or otherwise subject, pursuant to which: (i) any liability to partners of any subsidiary of such Person relating to Taxes may arise, whether or not as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) such Person has agreed to (A) maintain a minimum level of debt, continue a particular debt, allocate a certain amount of debt to particular partners or members or allow particular partners or members to guarantee debt, (B) retain or not dispose of assets for a period of time that has not since expired, (C) make or refrain from making Tax elections or (D) only dispose of assets in a particular manner.
(15) FC Ranger has not taken or failed to take any action that could reasonably be expected to result in a challenge by the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Entity to its status as a REIT, and no such challenge is pending or, to Seller’s Actual Knowledge, threatened. Since January 1, 2014, no subsidiary of FC Ranger is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, other than a corporation that qualifies as a “taxable REIT subsidiary” within the meaning of Section 856(l) of the Code. Since January 1, 2014, each subsidiary of FC Ranger that is a partnership, joint venture, or limited liability company and which has not elected to be a “taxable REIT subsidiary” within the meaning of Section 856(l) of the Code has been treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a partnership or disregarded entity, as the case may be, and not as a corporation or an association taxable as a corporation.
(16) FC Ranger is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and each other Ranger Subsidiary Entity is treated as a partnership or disregarded entity, other than FC Ranger Operations Holdco, LLC, LSREF Xxxxx OPS Holdings, LLC, LSREF Golden OPS Holdings, LLC, LSREF Golden Property 26 (OR) III, LLC, LSREF Husky OPS Holdings, LLC, LSREF Longhorn OPS Holdings, LLC and LSREF Texor OPS Holdings, LLC (each of which is treated as a “taxable REIT subsidiary” within the meaning of Section 856(l) of the Code). Each Liquating Partnership has been treated as a partnership or a disregarded entity for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes since the date of its formation.
(17) Seller has provided Purchaser with true and correct statements of the adjusted basis of personal property with respect to each of the Non-Ranger Portfolios as of December 31, 2013. Since December 31, 2013, the Non-Ranger Sellers have not acquired any material additional personal property with respect to any Non-Ranger Property.
(18) “Tax” means any: (i) federal, state, local or foreign income, gross receipts, franchise, estimated, alternative minimum, add-on minimum, business, rental, sales, use, transfer, registration, value added, excise, natural resources, severance, stamp, occupation, premium, windfall profit, environmental, real property, personal property, abandoned or unclaimed property, capital stock, social security, unemployment, disability, payroll, license, employee or other withholding, or other tax, duty, levy, assessment, or charge of any kind whatsoever, including any interest, penalties or additions to tax or additional amounts in respect of the foregoing; (ii) liability for the payment of any amounts of the type described in clause (i) above arising as a result of being (or ceasing to be) a member of any affiliated, consolidated, unitary or similar group (or being included (or required to be included) in any tax return relating thereto); and (iii) liability for the payment of any amounts of the type described in clauses (i) or (ii) above as a result of any express or implied obligation by law, contract or otherwise to indemnify or otherwise assume or succeed to the liability of any other Person.
(19) “Tax Returns” means any returns, declarations, reports, forms, claims for refund, information returns or statements, requests for extensions of time or other statements filed or required to be filed with any Governmental Authority with respect to Taxes, including any schedules, attachments or supplements thereto, and including any amendments thereof.

(ii) By Seller. Subject to the provisions of Section 11(j), from and after the Closing, Seller, on a joint and several basis with respect to each Portfolio, but on a several and not joint basis across Portfolios, agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless (and the Escrow Amount shall be available therefore) Purchaser, its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders, members, partners, agents, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, “Purchaser Indemnitees”) from and against all Losses incurred by any of Purchaser Indemnitees arising out of or relating to: (1) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement (without regard, for purposes of this clause (1), to any qualifications as to materiality or material adverse effect (or any correlative terms)), (2) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Seller contained in this Agreement, (3) any breach of any covenant or agreement of any Ranger Subsidiary Entity contained in this Agreement and required to be performed or complied with by such Ranger Subsidiary Entity prior to the Closing, (4) claims asserted by third parties, but only if and to the extent such Losses first arise or accrue prior to the Closing Date, even if such claim is asserted on or after the Closing Date, and are not related to the environmental condition of the Properties (unless the Seller has actual knowledge of such claim prior to the Closing Date), or (5) any claims that the allocation of the Purchase Price amongst the Persons comprising Seller (including any allocation between cash consideration and equity consideration) pursuant to Section 4 or the amount paid to any individual Seller pursuant to Section 4(d) was not true and correct in all respects.
(iii) Limitations on Rights of Indemnitees.
(1) Purchaser shall not be required to indemnify Seller Indemnitees with respect to any claim for indemnification arising out of or relating to matters described in Section 11(k)(i)(1) unless and until the aggregate amount of all such Losses for such matters exceeds $250,000, in which event Seller Indemnitees will be entitled to recover all Losses arising out of or relating to such matters. Purchaser’s maximum liability to Seller Indemnitees with respect to any claim for indemnification arising out of or relating to matters described in Section 11(k)(i)(1) shall not exceed $15,000,000 in the aggregate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the foregoing limitations in this Section 11(k)(iii)(1) shall not apply to a claim for indemnification to the extent such claim is based upon a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 11(h)(i)-(iv).
(2) Seller shall not be required to indemnify Purchaser Indemnitees with respect to any claim for indemnification arising out of or relating to matters described in Section 11(k)(ii)(1) unless and until the aggregate amount of all such Losses for such matters exceeds $250,000, in which event Purchaser Indemnitees will be entitled to recover all Losses arising out of or relating to such matters. Seller’s maximum liability to
Purchaser Indemnitees with respect to any claim for indemnification arising out of or relating to matters described in Section 11(k)(ii)(1) (A) with respect to any claims based upon a breach of any of the representations and warranties relating to a Non-Ranger Portfolio shall not exceed $20,000,000 in the aggregate and, with respect to any single Non-Ranger Portfolio shall not exceed the allocated portion thereof as set forth on Schedule 11(k)(iii)(2) (the “Holdback Allocated Portion”) in the aggregate, and (B) with respect to any claims based upon a breach of any of the representations and warranties relating to the Ranger Portfolio (other than Section 11(e)(xi)), shall not exceed $15,000,000 in the aggregate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the foregoing limitations in this Section 11(k)(iii)(2) shall not apply to a claim for indemnification to the extent such claim is based upon a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 11(d) or 11(e)(xi).
(iv) Procedure.
(1) Direct Claims. If either a Purchaser Indemnitee, on the one hand, or a Seller Indemnitee, on the other hand, shall have a claim for indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnitee”) for any claim other than a claim asserted by a third party, the Indemnitee shall, as promptly as is practicable, give written notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnitor”) of the nature and, to the extent practicable, a good faith estimate of the amount, of the claim. The failure to make timely delivery of such written notice by the Indemnitee to the Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor from any liability under this Section 11(k) with respect to such matter, except to the extent the Indemnitor is actually materially prejudiced by failure to give such notice.
(2) Third-Party Actions (Other than Tax Consents).
(A) If an Indemnitee receives notice or otherwise obtains knowledge of any matter or any threatened matter that may give rise to an indemnification claim against the Indemnitor, then the Indemnitee shall promptly deliver to the Indemnitor a written notice describing, to the extent practicable, such matter in reasonable detail. The failure to make timely delivery of such written notice by the Indemnitee to the Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor from any liability under this Section 11(k) with respect to such matter, except to the extent the Indemnitor is actually materially prejudiced by failure to give such notice. The Indemnitor shall have the right, at its option, to assume the defense of any such matter with its own counsel, but only if the Indemnitor simultaneously agrees to indemnify the Indemnitee for such matter.
(B) If the Indemnitor elects to assume the defense of and indemnification for any such matter, then:
(I) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Indemnitor shall not be required to pay or otherwise indemnify the Indemnitee against any attorneys’ fees or other expenses incurred on behalf of the Indemnitee in connection with such matter following the Indemnitor’s election to assume the defense of such matter, unless (x) the Indemnitor fails to defend diligently the action or proceeding within ten (10) days after receiving notice of such failure from the Indemnitee, (y) the Indemnitee reasonably shall have concluded (upon advice of its counsel) that there may be one or more legal
defenses available to such Indemnitee or other Indemnitees that are not available to the Indemnitor, or (z) the Indemnitee reasonably shall have concluded (upon advice of its counsel) that, with respect to such claims, the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor may have different, conflicting, or adverse legal positions or interests;
(II) the Indemnitee shall, at its own expense, make available to the Indemnitor all books, records and other documents and materials that are under the direct or indirect control of the Indemnitee or any of the Indemnitee’s agents and that the Indemnitor considers necessary or desirable for the defense of such matter, and cooperate in all reasonable ways with, and make its employees and advisors available or otherwise render reasonable assistance to, the Indemnitor and its agents; and
(III) the Indemnitor shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnitee, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, settle or compromise any pending or threatened litigation in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnitee is an actual or potential party to such litigation) or consent to the entry of any judgment (x) which does not, to the extent that the Indemnitee may have any liability with respect to such litigation, include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnitee of a written release of the Indemnitee from all liability in respect of such litigation, (y) which includes any statement as to or an admission of fact, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the Indemnitee, or (z) in any manner that involves any injunctive relief against the Indemnitee or may materially and adversely affect the Indemnitee.
(C) If the Indemnitor elects not to assume the defense of and indemnification for such matter, then the Indemnitee shall proceed diligently to defend such matter with the assistance of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitor; provided, that the Indemnitee shall not settle, adjust or compromise such matter, or admit any liability with respect to such matter, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(D) The procedures in this Section 11(k)(iv)(2) shall not apply to direct claims of Seller Indemnitees or Purchaser Indemnitees or to Tax Contests, which shall be governed by Section 41(h).
(v) Tax Treatment. Seller and Purchaser (and New Joint Venture) agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Section 11(k) as an adjustment to the purchase price for federal, state, local and foreign income tax purposes.
(vi) The provisions of this Section 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Closing.
(l) For the purpose of securing Seller’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement, including Section 11(k), and without limiting Seller’s obligations hereunder, at the Closing Purchaser shall deliver to the Escrow Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an interest bearing account administered by Escrow Agent at Capital One (the “Holdback Escrow Account”) (i) the amount of (1) $20,000,000 multiplied by (2) the
“Aggregate Non-Ranger Non-Rollover Percentage” to be set forth on Schedule 11(l) to be prepared and delivered by Seller prior to Closing based on, and consistent with, the provisions of Section 41(g), the information set forth on Schedule 41(g), and the statement to be delivered pursuant to Section 41(g), in cash (the “Non-Ranger Portfolio Holdback Escrow Amount”) which shall be allocated to each Non-Ranger Portfolio in accordance with the Holdback Allocated Portion of such Non-Ranger Portfolio multiplied by the “Non-Rollover Percentage” of such Portfolio to be set forth on Schedule 11(l) and (ii) the amount of $15,000,000 multiplied by the “Non-Rollover Percentage” of the Ranger Portfolio to be set forth on Schedule 11(l) in cash (the “Ranger Portfolio Holdback Escrow Amount” and together with the Non-Ranger Portfolio Holdback Escrow Amount, the “Holdback Escrow Amount”), pursuant to one or more escrow agreements to be entered into by Purchaser, Seller and the Escrow Agent (the “Holdback Escrow Agreement”) at the Closing in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F. Following the nine-month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Escrow Agent shall release to Seller the excess, if any, of any amount of the Non-Ranger Portfolio Holdback Escrow Amount allocated to a Non-Ranger Portfolio in excess of the maximum amount of the pending good-faith indemnification claims outstanding with respect to such Non-Ranger Portfolio pursuant to Section 11(k)(ii) multiplied by applicable Non-Rollover Percentage with respect to the applicable Non-Ranger Portfolio for each claim. Following the fifteen-month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Escrow Agent shall release to Seller the excess, if any, of any amount of the Ranger Portfolio Holdback Escrow Amount in excess of the maximum amount of the pending good-faith indemnification claims outstanding with respect to the Ranger Portfolio pursuant to Section 11(k)(ii) multiplied by Non-Rollover Percentage with respect to the applicable Ranger Portfolio. The Holdback Escrow Amount shall only be used to satisfy the Non-Rollover Percentage with respect to the applicable Portfolio of the amount of indemnification claims pursuant to Section 11(k)(ii) and the remaining amount owed with respect to any such claims shall be settled as provided in the JV Agreement.

(ii) if the Casualty is not a Significant Casualty, the parties shall consummate this transaction in accordance with this Agreement, without any abatement of the Purchase Price or any liability or obligation on the part of Seller by reason of such Casualty. In such event, Seller shall assign to the New Joint Venture and the New Joint Venture shall have the right to make a claim for and to retain any casualty insurance proceeds payable under the casualty insurance policies in effect with respect to the Premises on account of such Casualty and Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price due at Closing for the amount of the deductible on such casualty insurance policy less any amounts reasonably and actually expended by Seller to collect any such insurance proceeds or to remedy any unsafe conditions at the applicable Property or to repair or restore any damages, in no event to exceed the amount of the loss.
(b) The provisions of this Section 12 supersede any law applicable to the Properties governing the effect of fire or other casualty in contracts for real property.
(c) At Purchaser’s request, and at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense with respect to out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Seller, Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser’s efforts after the Closing to adjust and collect any insurance claims pursuant to the terms of this Section 12.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if a Significant Casualty occurs with respect to three (3) or more Properties, then Purchaser shall have the option, exercisable in its sole discretion by written notice to Seller, to terminate this Agreement, in which case Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver the Deposit to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further rights or liabilities against or to the other with respect thereto except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement which are expressly provided to survive the termination hereof.
(e) If a Significant Casualty occurs with respect to three (3) or more Properties and Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12(d), the Closing shall occur on the later to occur of (x) the Scheduled Closing Date and (y) the tenth (10th) business day following the most recent Significant Casualty to occur, and if clause (y) applies, such tenth (10th) business day shall for all purposes hereunder be deemed the “Scheduled Closing Date”.

affecting real estate taxes assessed against any of the Properties for the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs, each party acting reasonably.

(a) If (i) Purchaser shall default in the payment of the Purchase Price or in the performance of any of its other material obligations to be performed on the Closing Date or (ii) Purchaser shall default in the performance of any of its material obligations to be performed prior to the Closing Date and, with respect to any default under this clause (ii) only, such default shall continue for five (5) business days after notice to Purchaser, then Seller’s sole remedy by reason thereof shall be to terminate this Agreement and, upon such termination, Seller shall be entitled to retain the Deposit as liquidated damages for Purchaser’s default hereunder, it being agreed that the damages by reason of Purchaser’s default are difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain, and thereafter neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement except for those that are expressly provided in this Agreement to survive the termination hereof.
(b) If (i) Seller shall default in any of its obligations to be performed on the Closing Date or (ii) Seller shall default in the performance of any of its material obligations to be performed prior to the Closing Date and, with respect to any default under this clause (ii) only, such default shall continue for five (5) business days after notice to Seller, then Purchaser, as its sole remedy by reason thereof, shall have the right to (i) obtain specific performance of Seller’s obligations hereunder pursuant to Section 39(b), and if Purchaser prevails with respect
thereto, the provisions of Section 35 shall apply with respect thereto, or (ii) receive a return of the Deposit, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate and neither party hereto shall have any further obligations hereunder except for those that are expressly provided in this Agreement to survive the termination hereof.

(a) A condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close the transaction contemplated under this Agreement shall be Seller’s delivery to Purchaser of an estoppel certificate “Estoppel Certificate” from each of the Operators under each of the Operating Leases satisfying the requirements of this Section 36(a) (the “Required Purchaser Estoppel Certificates”).

or permitted under the terms of its Operating Lease to provide a different form of estoppel certificate, less information or to otherwise make different statements in a certification of such nature than are set forth on Exhibits P-1 — P-6, then Purchaser shall accept any modifications made to such form of Estoppel Certificate to the extent that such modifications to the form are consistent with the minimum requirements set forth in such Operator’s Operating Lease (it being understood by Purchaser that an Operator shall not be required to make any certifications not specifically enumerated in such Operator’s Operating Lease estoppel requirements even if such Operator’s Operating Lease requires tenant to certify to any additional items “reasonably requested”). The Estoppel Certificates shall be dated no more than thirty (30) days before the initial Scheduled Closing Date. An Estoppel Certificate shall be deemed to not satisfy the requirements of this Section 36(a), and shall not constitute a valid Required Purchaser Estoppel Certificate, if such Estoppel Certificate shall claim: (i) that the minimum, fixed or base rent of the applicable Operating Lease differs from the minimum, fixed or base rent set forth in the applicable Operating Lease made available to Purchaser; (ii) that there exists any material default by Seller or any Ranger Subsidiary Entity as landlord under the applicable Operating Lease; (iii) that there are facts which are inconsistent with the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Section 11(c) or Section 11(d) with respect to such Operating Lease; or (iv) except with respect to year-end adjustments that may be required to be made under the applicable Operating Lease, that the Operator thereunder has an offset or defense against the payment of rent under the applicable Operating Lease.
(b) Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts (it being agreed that such commercially reasonable efforts shall consist of making a request for such Estoppel Certificate and diligently pursuing the same, but shall not include sending a default notice or commencing litigation for such estoppel) to obtain an estoppel certificate from (i) each ground lessor under each ground leased Property and (ii) each property manager under a management agreement with respect to each Property in the Ranger Portfolio, it being understood that failure to obtain any such Estoppel Certificate shall not be deemed a failure of condition as long as Seller used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the same.
37. EXCULPATION.
(a) Purchaser agrees that it does not have and will not have any claims or causes of action against any Seller Party (other than Seller), arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Purchaser agrees to look solely to Seller and Seller’s interest in the Properties and the Ranger Subsidiary Entities or, if the Closing has occurred, the net proceeds of the sale (subject to the limitations contained herein, including Section 11(k)(iii), to the extent applicable) for the satisfaction of any liability or obligation arising under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or for the performance of any of the covenants, warranties or other agreements contained herein, and further agrees not to xxx or otherwise seek to enforce any personal obligation against any of Seller’s other assets or properties or any other Seller Parties (or their assets or properties) with respect to any matters arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Section 37(a), Purchaser hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any and all claims and causes of action of any nature whatsoever it may now or hereafter have against the Seller Parties (other than Seller and other than with respect to the net proceeds of the sale), and hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably releases and discharges such other Seller Parties from any and all liability whatsoever which may now or hereafter accrue in favor of Purchaser against such other Seller Parties (other than with respect to the net proceeds of the sale), in connection with or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
(b) Seller agrees that it does not have and will not have any claims or causes of action against Purchaser or any other Purchaser Party, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby other than to retain the Deposit in accordance with Section 20(a). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Section 37(b), Seller hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any and all claims and causes of action of any nature whatsoever it may now or hereafter have against the Purchaser Parties, and hereby unconditionally and irrevocably releases and discharges such Purchaser Parties from any and all liability whatsoever which may now or hereafter accrue in favor of Seller against such Purchaser Parties, in connection with or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
(c) The provisions of this Section 37 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Closing.
38. EXISTING DEBT.
(a) During the Due Diligence Period, Seller and Purchaser shall use good faith efforts to jointly determine whether (i) any or all of the Existing Loans will be repaid by Seller (or assigned to Purchaser’s lender, if requested by Purchaser) at Closing, or (ii) Purchaser will accept the Properties and/or Interests, as applicable, at Closing with any or all of the Existing Loans remaining in place. If Seller and Purchaser do not agree that an Existing Loan shall be repaid, then Seller and Purchaser shall seek such Existing Lender’s consent to the transactions set forth in this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this Section 38.

If Seller and Purchaser agree that New Joint Venture will accept any Property at Closing with one or more Existing Loans with respect to such Property remaining in place, then (A) the New Joint Venture (or the applicable subsidiary of the New Joint Venture) shall assume all obligations with respect to such Existing Loans first accruing from and after the Closing Date and (B) the applicable Seller shall be released from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such Existing Loans first accruing from and after the Closing Date.
(b) Seller and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly obtain the Existing Lenders’ consent to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Existing Lender Consent”).

such requirements; (B) execute such documents as shall be required by each of the Existing Lenders pursuant to the express provisions of the applicable Existing Loan Documents to facilitate the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder; and (C) comply with all other reasonable requests of each of the Existing Lenders in accordance with customary prevailing practices of institutional lenders in connection with loan assumption transactions similar to the loan assumptions that are the subject of the Existing Lender Consent, and (ii) Seller shall execute and deliver such releases of the Existing Lenders as may be requested by the Existing Lenders to obtain the Existing Lender Consent. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall either Seller or Purchaser be obligated to accept any Existing Lender Consent if the same imposes material obligations on either Seller, Purchaser or any guarantor of the Existing Loan not otherwise set expressly set forth in the Existing Loan Documents.
(c) In connection with obtaining the Existing Lender Consent: (i) the New Joint Venture shall pay: (A) the Existing Lenders’ out-of-pocket costs and expenses, (B) the Existing Lenders’ administrative charges and (C) all other charges expressly required to be paid by the borrower under the Existing Loan Documents, including any “transfer fees” or “loan assumption fees” as mutually agreed by Seller and Purchaser in their sole discretion, and (ii) Seller shall pay all deposits, fees and other charges demanded by the Existing Lenders pre-Closing, subject to reimbursement at Closing by the New Joint Venture.
(d) At the Closing, (i) any and all deposits, reserves and escrows being held as of the Closing Date by the Existing Lenders (or their servicers) under the applicable Existing Loan Documents for real estate taxes, insurance premiums, deferred maintenance, capital replacements, re-letting costs and/or tenant improvements and leasing commissions, and debt service, as applicable, shall be conveyed to Purchaser as part of consideration for the payment of the Purchase Price and without further adjustment and (ii) all other funds derived from the Property held by the Existing Lenders (or their services) in any lockbox or other account or sub-account, shall be conveyed to Purchaser subject to adjustment in accordance with proration provisions specified herein (the deposits, reserves and escrow referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above are collectively, the “Existing Lender Reserves and Escrows”).

Pending the resolution of any such arbitration, neither FCAM III nor Safanad, nor any of their successors serving as a Stakeholder Representative, shall have the right to implement any such decision or action which is then the subject of such dispute. In the event FCAM III or Safanad, or any of their respective successors serving as a Stakeholder Representative elect to resign, or are not able to continue to serve, as a Stakeholder Representative for any reason, the Transaction Stakeholders representing a majority of the aggregate ownership percentage of the Portfolios immediately prior to the Effective Time shall select a new entity to replace the entity that has resigned, or is no longer able to serve, to act jointly with the remaining Stakeholder Representative as a Stakeholder Representative, which selection shall be evidenced by written consent signed by such majority. Each time a new
Stakeholder Representative is appointed pursuant to this Agreement, such Person, as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of such appointment, shall accept such position in writing.
(d) Any dispute requiring arbitration in accordance with Section 40(c) shall be determined by arbitration in the State of New York under the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules with Expedited Procedures in effect as of the Closing Date, as modified by this Agreement. The number of arbitrators shall be three (3). Each of FCAM III and Safanad (or any successor Stakeholder Representative) shall have ten (10) days to each select one (1) arbitrator and within ten (10) days of such respective selections, the two (2) respective arbitrators so selected by each of FCAM III and Safanad (or such successor Stakeholder Representative) hereto shall select another arbitrator. If either FCAM III or Safanad (or any successor Stakeholder Representative) fails to make its respective selection of an arbitrator within the ten (10) day period provided for above, then the other party’s selection shall be the sole arbitrator. Also, if the two (2) arbitrators so selected shall fail to select a third arbitrator, then such third arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA. Each arbitrator shall (A) be independent of FCAM III, Safanad and/or any successor Stakeholder Representatives, as applicable, (B) not have been engaged by any of FCAM III, Safanad and/or any successor Stakeholder Representatives, as applicable, or any of their respective Affiliates within the last three (3) years and (C) not have been employed by any of FCAM III, Safanad and/or any successor Stakeholder Representatives, as applicable, or any of their respective Affiliates within the ten (10) years immediately preceding the dispute giving rise to the arbitration. There shall be no substantive motions or discovery, except the arbitrators shall authorize such discovery and enter such pre-hearing orders as may be appropriate to insure a fair private hearing, which hearing shall be held within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the arbitrator and concluded within three (3) days. The aforesaid time limits are not jurisdictional. The arbitrators shall apply substantive law of the State of New York and may award injunctive relief or any other remedy available from a judge.
41. TAX MATTERS.
(a) From and after the Closing, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnitees against all Losses attributable to (i) unpaid Taxes (whether assessed or unassessed) imposed on or incurred by any of the Ranger Subsidiary Entities or the Liquidating Partnerships that are attributable to a Pre-Closing Period, to the extent not taken into account in the calculation of the Ranger Closing Net Working Capital (as finally determined) other than any Taxes imposed on or incurred by any of the Ranger Subsidiary Entities that are attributable to periods prior to the Ranger Acquisition Date, (ii) all Taxes of Seller or the Liquidating Partnerships, whether for Pre-Closing Periods or otherwise, and (iii) any liability of a Person for Taxes pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or any comparable provision under state, local or foreign law or regulation imposing several liability upon members of a consolidated, combined, affiliated or unitary group), as a transferee or successor, by contract, pursuant to applicable Law, or otherwise for any Pre-Closing Period.
(b) (i) The Stakeholder Representatives shall prepare or cause to be prepared on a timely basis all Tax Returns of the Ranger Subsidiary Entities and the Liquidating Partnerships for all taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Tax Periods”) that are due after the Closing Date in a manner consistent with past practice, except as otherwise required by law. The Stakeholder Representatives shall provide
Purchaser with a copy of each such Tax Return, along with supporting documentation, at least twenty (20) days prior to the due date of such Tax Return for Purchaser’s review and comment. The Stakeholder Representatives shall consider in good faith any comments of Purchaser to such Tax Returns. Seller shall pay all Taxes shown as due and owing on such Tax Returns or otherwise due and owing with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Periods, except to the extent such Taxes are reflected in Ranger Closing Net Working Capital. New Joint Venture shall cause to be prepared any Tax Returns for the Ranger Subsidiary Entities and the Liquidating Partnerships for any Straddle Period; provided that New Joint Venture shall submit, at least twenty (20) days prior to filing, a copy of each such Tax Return, along with supporting documentation, to the Stakeholder Representatives and Purchaser for review and comment. New Joint Venture shall consider in good faith any comments of the Stakeholder Representatives and Purchaser to such Tax Returns. New Joint Venture shall timely pay all Taxes shown due with respect to Tax Returns filed pursuant to this Section 41(b)(i) for Straddle Periods. Seller shall pay to New Joint Venture all Taxes relating to Pre-Closing Periods and shown as due on Tax Returns filed pursuant to this Section 41(b) at least five (5) days before such Taxes are required to be paid to the applicable Governmental Authority, except to the extent such Taxes are reflected in Ranger Closing Net Working Capital. Seller shall not file any Tax Return or claim for refund, make any retroactive Tax election, or take any similar action with respect to any of the Ranger Subsidiary Entities or the Liquidating Partnerships without the prior written consent of Purchaser.
(ii) The Stakeholder Representatives and Purchaser shall attempt in good faith to resolve any disagreements regarding any Tax Return prepared pursuant to Section 41(b)(i) prior to the due date for filing such Tax Return. In the event that the Stakeholder Representatives and Purchaser are unable to resolve a dispute with respect to such Tax Return at least fifteen (15) days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Return, such dispute shall be resolved by the Auditor, and the fees and expenses of the Auditor shall be allocated, in accordance with Section 7(b)(v), and any determination by the Auditor with respect to such dispute shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. In resolving any such dispute, the Auditor shall not make any determination that is not at least “more likely than not” correct. In the event that the Auditor is unable to resolve any dispute before the due date for filing the applicable Tax Return, such Tax Return shall be filed in accordance with the position of the party responsible for signing such Tax Return, and such Tax Return shall be amended thereafter, if applicable, to reflect the Auditor’s resolution of such dispute.
(c) The Taxes, if any, attributable to any Straddle Period shall be allocated (i) to Seller and the holders of Units for the period up to and including the close of business on the Closing Date, and (ii) to New Joint Venture for the period subsequent to the Closing Date. Any allocation of income or deductions required to determine any Taxes attributable to a Straddle Period shall be made by means of a closing of the books and records of the applicable Ranger Subsidiary Entity or Liquidating Partnership as of the close of business on the Closing Date, provided, that any exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the portion of the applicable Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the portion of such Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each such period. Any property, ad valorem and similar Taxes shall be apportioned between the portion of the applicable Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the portion of such Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each such period.
(d) Purchaser, New Joint Venture, Seller and the Stakeholder Representatives shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any party, in connection with (i) the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 41, (ii) the filing of any other Tax Returns required to be filed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (iii) subject to Section 41(h), any Tax Contest. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon another party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return or Tax Contest and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. New Joint Venture and Seller agree (x) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Ranger Subsidiary Entities and the Liquidating Partnerships relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by New Joint Venture or the Stakeholder Representatives, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Governmental Authority, and (y) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, New Joint Venture or Seller, as the case may be, shall allow the other party to take possession of such books and records.
(e) All Tax sharing agreements and similar contracts with respect to or involving any of the Ranger Subsidiary Entities or any Liquidating Partnership, if any, shall be terminated no later than the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, none of the Ranger Subsidiary Entities or the Liquidating Partnerships shall be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder. Sellers, the Ranger Subsidiary Entities, and the Liquidating Partnerships, as applicable, shall take all actions necessary to terminate all such agreements and Contracts.
(f) Each Liquidating Partnership has made or shall make a valid election under Section 754 of the Code to adjust the basis of its assets in accordance with Section 743(b) of the Code for its taxable year that ends on the Closing Date.
(g) As of the date hereof, Seller and Purchaser have agreed on the allocation of the purchase price among the Portfolios which is set forth on Schedule 41(g) attached hereto. Following the Effective Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller a statement of the fair market value of the assets of each of the Portfolios acquired pursuant to this Agreement. Purchaser, Seller and the holders of Units shall use the asset fair market values as determined under this Section 41(g) (i) to calculate and report any gain or loss on the purchase and sale of such assets hereunder, including any report under Treasury Regulations Section 1.751-1(a)(3), (ii) to determine the initial book value of the New Joint Venture’s assets under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(d), and (iii) for any relevant purpose under Sections 45, 167, 168, 197, 199 or 1060 of the Code. Each party agrees that it shall not take any position that varies from or is inconsistent with such valuation in any filing made by such party with the IRS or any other taxing authority, except to the extent an adjustment is required by the IRS or any other taxing authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the parties hereto agrees that the fair market value of personal property (as defined for purposes of Section 856 of the Code) purchased from each Non-Ranger Seller does not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the total fair market value of all property purchased from such Non-Ranger Seller (including real property, improvements, fixtures and personal property). The statement delivered pursuant to this Section 41(g) shall also specify what portion of Purchase Price payable to Seller shall be
paid in cash and what portion shall be paid in equity interests in New Joint Venture (along with the allocation of each type of consideration being paid to each Person constituting Seller), it being agreed that the final amount of the Purchase Price payable to Seller in equity interests in New Joint Venture shall result in the Seller Rollover Investors having been deemed in the aggregate to have made capital contributions to New Joint Venture of not less than $30,000,00 and not more than $40,000,000.
(h) Tax Contests.
(i) If, following the Closing Date, New Joint Venture or FC Ranger receives from any Governmental Authority written notice of any Tax Contest with respect to which Seller may reasonably have any liability, New Joint Venture or FC Ranger shall promptly provide a copy of such notice to the Stakeholder Representatives; provided, that the failure to promptly provide a copy of such notice to the Stakeholder Representatives shall not relieve Seller from its obligations under Section 41(a) except to the extent that Seller is actually materially prejudiced by such failure.
(ii) The Stakeholder Representatives shall have the right to elect to control, manage and be responsible for, and to contest or settle, any Tax Contest (at the expense of Sellers) to the extent that such Tax Contest relates to Pre-Closing Taxes, other than Tax Contests with respect to a Straddle Period. With respect to any Tax Contest that the Stakeholder Representatives elect to control, Purchaser and FC Ranger may participate in all aspects of any such Tax Contest at their own expense and the Stakeholder Representatives shall not settle such Tax Contest without the consent of Purchaser, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Stakeholder Representatives shall keep Purchaser and FC Ranger informed of the progress of all such Tax Contests and shall provide copies of all written communications with any Governmental Authority related to such Tax Contests.
(iii) Purchaser shall have the right, at its own expense, to control, manage and be responsible for, and to contest or settle, any Tax Contest with respect to a Straddle Period. The Stakeholder Representatives may participate in such Tax Contest (at the expense of Sellers) or any Tax Contest that it does not elect to control pursuant to Section 41(h)(i) to the extent such Tax Contest relates to Pre-Closing Taxes for which Seller may reasonably be expected to be liable pursuant to Section 41(a) and Purchaser shall not settle such Tax Contest without the consent of the Stakeholder Representatives, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Purchaser shall keep the Stakeholder Representatives informed of the progress of all such Tax Contests and shall provide copies of all written communications with any Governmental Authority related to such Tax Contests to the extent such written communications relate to Pre-Closing Taxes.
(i) Intentionally Omitted.
(j) The following terms, as used in this Section 41, shall have the following meanings:
(i) “Pre-Closing Period” means any Pre-Closing Tax Period and the portion of any Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date.
(ii) “Pre-Closing Taxes” means all Taxes imposed on, incurred by or of the Ranger Subsidiary Entities and the Liquidating Partnerships with respect to Pre-Closing Periods.
(iii) “Straddle Period” means any taxable period beginning on or prior to the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date.
(iv) “Tax Contest” means any audit, hearing, proposed adjustment, arbitration, deficiency, assessment, suit, dispute, claim, or other proceeding commenced, filed or otherwise initiated or convened to investigate or resolve the existence and extent of a liability for Taxes.
(k) The New Joint Venture shall maintain the existence of FC Ranger as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes at all times from the Closing Date through December 31, 2014 and shall elect to treat FC Ranger as a REIT for the taxable year ending on December 31, 2014. The New Joint Venture shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller (and any of their direct or indirect owners successors and assigns) harmless from any Losses of such parties resulting from a breach of this Section 41(k) by New Joint Venture.
(l) The provisions of this Section 41 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Closing.
42. TERMINATION.
(a) This Agreement may be terminated as follows:
(i) by mutual written consent of each of Purchaser and Seller;
(ii) by either Purchaser or Seller, if a Governmental Authority shall have issued any judgment, order, writ, injunction, ruling, decision or decree having the effect of making the Asset Acquisitions or the Interest Acquisitions illegal or permanently prohibiting the consummation of such transactions, and such judgment, order, writ, injunction, ruling, decision or decree shall have become final and nonappealable (but only if such terminating party shall have used commercially reasonable efforts to cause such judgment, order, writ, injunction, ruling, decision or decree to be lifted or vacated and shall have otherwise complied with its obligations under this Agreement);
(iii) by either Purchaser or Seller, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before 4:00 P.M., New York time, on May 30, 2014 (the “Outside Date”); provided, that, either Purchaser or Seller by written notice to the other party may elect to extend the Outside Date to June 30, 2014 or such other date as is determined by mutual agreement of Purchaser and Seller. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 42(a)(iii), the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 42(a)(iii) shall not be available to a party if the action or inaction of such party or any of its Affiliates has been a principal cause of the Closing to occur on or before the Outside Date and such action or failure to act constitutes a breach of this Agreement;
(iv) by either Purchaser or Seller, if any of the Existing Lenders affirmatively states in writing that it will not provide its Existing Lender Consent;
(v) by Purchaser pursuant to Section 3(f), 6(b), 12(d), 13(c), or 20(b)(ii);
(vi) by Purchaser if the form of the opinion required to be delivered pursuant to Section 10(b)(viii) is not in form and substance acceptable to Purchaser or its counsel; or
(vii) by Seller pursuant to Section 20(a).
(b) In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Article 42:
(i) with respect to any termination pursuant to Section 42(a)(i), 42(a)(ii), 42(a)(iii), 42(a)(iv) or 42(a)(v), Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver the Deposit (if any) to Purchaser;
(ii) with respect to any termination pursuant to Section 42(a)(vi) or 42(a)(vii), Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver the Deposit (if any) to Seller; and
(iii) neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except those arising under provisions of this Agreement that expressly survive the termination hereof.
