1.Agreement to Purchase and Sale. Seller hereby agrees to sell, convey and assign the Property to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to buy and accept the Property from Seller, under the terms and conditions and for the purchase price hereinafter set forth.
2.Purchase Price. The purchase price to be paid for the Property (the “Purchase Price”) at the Close of Escrow is One Hundred Seventy-Five Million One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($175,150,000.00). The Purchase Price shall be paid in the following increments at the following times:
(a) Deposit. Buyer shall make a cash deposit of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) into Escrow (as hereinafter defined) within one (1) business day of the Due Diligence Expiration Date (as hereinafter defined).
(b) Balance of Purchase Price. The balance of the Purchase Price, as well as all sums necessary to pay Buyer’s costs and expenses as required by this Agreement in connection with this transaction shall be deposited by Buyer into Escrow in immediately available funds prior to the Close of Escrow.
(c) Application of Deposit. The cash deposited into Escrow pursuant to Section 2(a) above, together with all interest earned thereon, shall sometimes collectively be referred to herein as the “Deposit.” If this Agreement is terminated (i) as a result of Buyer’s timely disapproval of any of the contingencies set forth in Section 3 below, (ii) by reason of the failure of any condition precedent in favor of Buyer as set forth in this Agreement, or (iii) for any other reason except for a default under this Agreement solely on the part of Buyer, then the Deposit shall be released by Escrow Holder (as hereinafter defined) to Buyer upon demand by Buyer, after which, neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except those obligations which specifically survive the termination of this Agreement. If the purchase and sale of the Property is consummated as contemplated hereunder, the Deposit shall be applied against the Purchase Price at the Close of Escrow and shall be paid to Seller or disbursed to the order of Seller at the Close of Escrow. All Deposits made by Buyer pursuant to this Section 2 or Section 5 below shall be placed in a federally insured interest-bearing account by Escrow Holder upon terms acceptable to Buyer to be held by Escrow Holder in trust for the benefit of Buyer. If the purchase and sale of the Property is not consummated because of a default under this Agreement solely on the part of Buyer, the Deposit shall be non-refundable to Buyer and shall constitute the liquidated damages due to Seller pursuant to, and subject to the exception set forth in, Section 14 below.

3.Closing Conditions. Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Property and the remainder of Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement shall be subject to its approval of each contingency set forth below (collectively, the “Buyer Contingencies”) within the time periods indicated below. The Buyer Contingencies are for the sole benefit of Buyer. The satisfaction of each Buyer Contingency is a condition precedent to the Close of Escrow. Buyer may approve or disapprove any or all of the documents, materials, items and matters identified in this Section 3 in its sole and absolute discretion, except as otherwise specifically provided below. This Agreement may be terminated upon written notice by Buyer: (i) as a result of Buyer’s disapproval of any of the contingencies set forth in this Section 3, or (ii) by reason of the failure of any condition precedent in favor of Buyer as set forth in this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated for any reason other than a default under this Agreement solely on the part of Buyer, then Buyer shall be relieved of all obligations and liabilities under this Agreement. Upon approval, the deemed approval or the waiver of all of the Buyer Contingencies by Buyer, the Deposit (to the extent then held in Escrow), shall be nonrefundable to Buyer and shall be considered liquidated damages in Escrow pursuant to, and subject to the exception set forth in, Section 14 hereof. Nothing in the foregoing shall require Buyer to deposit into Escrow any additional sums, documents or deposits if it has disapproved any of the Buyer Contingencies until such disapproved Buyer Contingencies have been waived or satisfied or otherwise approved by Buyer.

If Buyer fails to affirmatively waive its right to terminate this Agreement in the time and manner set forth in this Section 3(b)(i), Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement as provided immediately above.
(ii)In consideration for Seller granting to Buyer the right to inspect the Property and allowing or providing Buyer access to the Property for purposes of its due diligence, Buyer has paid to Seller concurrently with the execution of this Agreement the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100), cash-in-hand, which amount constitutes independent consideration (the “Independent Consideration”) separate and apart from the Purchase Price.

15
obligations under any deed of trust, mortgage or other lien encumbering the Property, the Contracts, the Licenses and other agreements relating to the Facilities, all in accordance with applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations affecting the Facilities. Except as otherwise provided herein, Seller shall deliver the Facilities at the Close of Escrow in substantially the same condition as they were on the Execution Date, reasonable wear and tear excepted and excluding any damage resulting from the acts or omission of Buyer and/or its agents. None of the Personal Property shall be removed from the Land or the Improvements, unless replaced by personal property of equal or greater utility and value.
(b) Records. Upon Buyer’s request, and upon reasonable notice by Buyer, for a period of one (1) year after the Close of Escrow, Seller shall make all of its records with respect to the Facilities available during normal business hours to Buyer for inspection and copying at Buyer’s expense by Buyer’s designated representatives.
(c) Exclusivity. During the pendency of the Escrow and until the Escrow and this Agreement are terminated as provided herein, Seller shall not market (or permit to be marketed) the Property to any person other than Buyer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, during such period of time Seller shall not offer (or permit to be offered) the Property for sale, discuss the terms of any possible sale of the Property with any person, accept or discuss back-up offers or list the Property with any brokers. As used in the foregoing, a “sale” shall include any long term lease or joint venture or equity participating loan.

During the period prior to the Close of Escrow, upon reasonable notice to Seller, Buyer shall have the right to review Seller’s records during normal business hours to verify any information provided by Seller to Buyer or to confirm Seller’s compliance with its representations, warranties and covenants as contained herein.
The liability of Seller for a breach of any covenant shall not be merged into any instrument of conveyance delivered at the Close of Escrow and shall survive the Close of Escrow for a period of one (1) year (the “Covenant Survival Termination Date”); provided, however, that if Buyer notifies Seller, on or before the Covenant Survival Termination Date, of any alleged breach of a covenant occurring prior to the Covenant Survival Termination Date (a “Notice of Breach of Covenant”), and Buyer thereafter files a lawsuit in connection therewith against Seller within ninety (90) days following the furnishing of said Notice of Breach of Covenant, then the applicable Covenant Survival Termination Date shall be extended with respect to said covenant until the date on which a final judgment is obtained in said lawsuit, beyond any possibility of appeal. The covenants and survival periods set forth herein shall not be deemed or construed as limiting, waiving or relinquishing any statutory or common law right or remedy, and the effect of the covenants made in this Agreement shall not be diminished or deemed to be satisfied by any inspections, tests or investigations made by Buyer or its agents; provided, however, in the event that at or prior to Closing, Buyer knows that a covenant has not been complied with by Seller and nonetheless elects to proceed with the closing of the transaction provided for herein, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived its recourse against Seller with respect to a breach of such covenant.
12.Right to Enter Property.

Seller shall at no cost to Seller assist Buyer in arranging such tests and inspections. Buyer shall not unreasonably disturb or annoy any residents in
16
the course of making such tests and inspections and/or interviews. Buyer shall maintain or cause its consultants to maintain liability insurance coverage applicable to such tests and inspections with coverage in an amount equal to $1,000,000 per occurrence. After making such tests and inspections, Buyer shall restore the Facilities to their respective conditions prior to such tests and inspections.

Such indemnity shall survive the Close of Escrow or earlier termination of this Agreement for a period of one (1) year. As a condition to the Close of Escrow (solely for the benefit of Buyer), Buyer and its agents and contractors shall have the right to enter (subject to the terms and provisions of this Section 12) onto the Facilities to determine the condition of the Facilities with respect to the contingency set forth in Section 3(e).
13.Loss by Fire, Other Casualty or Condemnation.

In the event of a casualty or condemnation that is not Material Damage or a Material Taking, Buyer shall accept the Property (including the destroyed, damaged or condemned Facility) in its then condition and proceed to close this transaction with an abatement or reduction in the Purchase Price in the amount of the deductible for the applicable insurance coverage, if any, and to receive an assignment of all of Seller’s rights to any insurance proceeds payable by reason of such damage or destruction or condemnation awards payable by reason of such taking. If Buyer elects to proceed under clause (b) above, Seller shall not compromise, settle or adjust any claims to such proceeds or awards without Buyer’s prior written consent. Seller agrees to give Buyer prompt notice of any taking, damage or destruction of the Property.

14.Liquidated Damages. IF BUYER DEFAULTS IN ITS OBLIGATIONS TO CLOSE THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN SELLER’S DEFAULT, BUYER’S DISAPPROVAL OF ANY CONTINGENCY, THE FAILURE OF A CONDITION PRECEDENT IN FAVOR OF BUYER, OR BUYER’S EXERCISE OF ITS RIGHT TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND BUYER FAILS TO CURE SUCH DEFAULT WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS AFTER RECEIVING WRITTEN NOTICE OF SUCH DEFAULT FROM SELLER, OR, IF SUCH DEFAULT IS NOT REASONABLY SUSCEPTIBLE OF BEING CURED WITHIN SUCH TEN (10) DAY PERIOD, IF BUYER FAILS TO COMMENCE TO CURE SUCH DEFAULT WITHIN SUCH TEN (10) DAY PERIOD, THEN, UPON DEMAND BY SELLER, THE DEPOSIT SHALL BE PAID TO AND RETAINED BY SELLER AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. THE PARTIES HERETO EXPRESSLY AGREE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SELLER’S ACTUAL DAMAGES IN THE EVENT OF A DEFAULT BY BUYER WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT OR IMPRACTICABLE TO ASCERTAIN AND THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT REPRESENTS THE PARTIES’ REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN ANY AND ALL ACTIONS BROUGHT PURSUANT TO OR TO ENFORCE BUYER’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, IT SHALL BE CONCLUSIVELY PRESUMED THAT THE ABOVE-DESCRIBED LIQUIDATED DAMAGES SHALL BE THE SOLE REMEDY OF SELLER IN THE EVENT OF BUYER’S DEFAULT HEREUNDER AND IT SHALL NOT BE PROPER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES THAT BUYER’S OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY BE SPECIFICALLY ENFORCED.
15.Indemnification. Subject to the penultimate paragraph of Section 10 and the last paragraph of Section 11, from and after Closing, Seller and Buyer hereby agree to indemnify and hold free and harmless the other (including such other party’s officers, directors, employees, advisors, accountants, attorneys, partners, shareholders and any other person having a direct or indirect ownership interest in such other party) from and against any losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of the indemnifying party or, subject to Section 15 above, any breach or default by such indemnifying party under any of such indemnifying party’s covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement; provided, however, neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any liability to the other under this Section 15 unless the aggregate amount of such losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) exceeds Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) (the “Indemnity Floor”), in which event Buyer shall be entitled to recover on a first dollar basis those losses, damages, costs and expenses included in the Indemnity Floor or for losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) not in excess of Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars and no/100 Dollars ($7,500,000) (the “Indemnity Cap”) or, in the case of claims by Buyer against Seller, for any claims asserted beyond the Rep Survival Termination Date. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Indemnity Floor or Indemnity Cap limitations set forth above be applicable to, or restrict Buyer’s right to recover, any losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Buyer as a result of (a) any fraud on the part of Seller, or arising in respect of the willful or intentional breach of any obligation of Seller hereunder, or (b) any claim arising under Section 6 or Section 7 above.
16.Broker’s Commission. Buyer and Seller each represent to the other that, except with respect to the services of Houlihan Lokey engaged by Seller (for which Seller shall be responsible to pay), they have not entered into any agreement or incurred any obligation which might result in the obligation to pay a sales or brokerage commission or finder’s fee with respect to this transaction. Buyer and Seller each agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) which the other may incur as a result of any claim made by any person to a right to a sales or brokerage commission or finder’s fee in connection with this
18
transaction to the extent such claim is based, or purportedly based, on the acts or omissions of Seller or Buyer, as the case may be. The obligations of Buyer and Seller under this Section 16 shall survive the Close of Escrow.
17.Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals or other communications (any of the foregoing, a “Notice”) required, permitted or desired to be given hereunder shall be in writing and sent by facsimile transmission (with answer back acknowledged), by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or delivered by hand or reputable overnight courier addressed to the party to be so notified at its address hereinafter set forth, or to such other address as such party may hereafter specify in accordance with the provisions of this Section 17.

18.Miscellaneous Provisions.
(a) Incorporation of Prior Agreements. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of Buyer and Seller with respect to the subject matter hereof, and no prior or contemporaneous written or oral agreement or understanding pertaining to any such matter shall be effective for any purpose including, but not limited to that, Letter of Intent dated May 6, 2015 and accepted by Seller on May 11, 2015. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or added to except by an agreement in writing, expressly stating that such agreement is an amendment of this Agreement, signed by the parties to this Agreement or their respective successors in interest.
(b) Buyer’s Right to Assign. Buyer shall have the right to assign its rights under this Agreement and/or to nominate any entity in whom the title of the Property is to vest provided, however, unless such entity is owned or controlled by or under common control with Buyer such
19
assignment or nomination shall require the consent of Seller which may be withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion and shall be subject, at a minimum, to such assignee or nominee agreeing in writing to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and of Buyer’s obligations hereunder, including, but not limited to, Buyer’s obligations with respect to the Master Lease.
(c) Attorneys’ Fees. If either party commences an action against the other to interpret or enforce any of the terms of this Agreement or because of the breach by the other party of any of the terms hereof, the losing party shall pay to the prevailing party reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the prosecution or defense of such action, whether or not the action is prosecuted to a final judgment. For purposes of this Agreement, the terms “attorneys’ fees” or “attorneys’ fees and costs” shall mean the fees and expenses of counsel to the parties hereto, which may include printing, photostating, duplicating and other expenses, air freight charges, and fees billed for law clerks, paralegals, librarians and others not admitted to the bar but performing services under the supervision of an attorney. The terms “attorneys’ fees” or “attorneys’ fees and costs” shall also include, without limitation, all such fees and expenses incurred with respect to appeals, arbitrations and bankruptcy proceedings, and whether or not any action or proceeding is brought with respect to the matter for which said fees and expenses were incurred. The term “attorney” shall have the same meaning as the term “counsel.”
(d) Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence for this Agreement.
(e) Successors and Assigns. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 18(b), this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto and to their respective transferees, successors and assigns.
(f) No Personal Liability or Third Party Beneficiaries. In addition to any limitation on liability provided by law or any other agreement or instrument, no advisor, trustee, director, officer, employee, accountant, attorney, beneficiary, shareholder, partner, participant or agent of or in Buyer or Seller shall have any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with this Agreement or the transaction contemplated hereunder. The parties, their respective successors and assigns and all third parties shall look solely to the applicable party’s assets for the payment of any claim or any performance, and the parties hereby waive all such personal liability. This Agreement is made and entered into solely for the protection and benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. No other person shall have any right of action hereunder.
(g) Governing Law; Choice of Forum. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of Maryland without giving effect to any “conflict of law” rules of such state. Buyer and Seller each acknowledge and agree that the state and associated federal courts in and for Orange County, California, shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and decide any dispute, controversy or litigation regarding the enforceability or validity of this Agreement or any portion thereof.
(h) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument. Executed copies hereof may be delivered by facsimile, email or other electronic means and upon receipt will be deemed originals and binding upon the parties hereto, regardless of whether originals are delivered thereafter.
(i) Interpretation; Construction. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be valid under applicable law, but, if any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or prohibited thereunder, such invalidity or prohibition shall be
20
construed as if such invalid or prohibited provision had not been inserted herein and shall not affect the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. The language in all parts of this Agreement shall be in all cases construed simply according to its fair meaning and not strictly against the party that drafted such language. Section and paragraph headings of this Agreement are solely for convenience of reference and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
(j) Exhibits; Schedule; Recitals Verified. All Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto are incorporated herein by reference. The Recitals to this Agreement are hereby stated to be true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference.
(k) Waiver by a Party. The waiver of any contingency, representation, warranty, covenant, or other matter or provision hereof may only be made by the party benefited by the same, and the waiver must be in writing, must be signed by the benefited party and must specifically state which matter is being waived.
(l) Further Assurances. In addition to the actions recited herein and contemplated to be performed, executed and/or delivered hereunder, Buyer and Seller agree to perform, execute and/or deliver or cause to be performed, executed and/or delivered any and all such further acts, instruments and assurances as may be reasonably required to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
(m) Injunctive and Equitable Relief. Seller and Buyer hereby agree that the Property is of a special and unique character which gives it a peculiar value, and that Buyer cannot reasonably or adequately be compensated in damages in an action at law if Seller breaches its obligation to sell the Property to Buyer. Therefore, Seller expressly agrees that Buyer shall be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief (including, without limitation, the right to specifically enforce Seller’s obligation to sell the Property to Buyer) in the event of such breach in addition to any other rights or remedies which may be available to Buyer.
(n) Business Days. As used in this Agreement, a “business day” shall mean a day other than Saturday, Sunday or any day on which banking institutions in Baltimore, Maryland, are authorized by law or other governmental action to close. All other references to “days” or “calendar days” in this Agreement shall refer to calendar days. Unless otherwise specified, in computing any period of time described herein, the day of the act or event on which the designated period of time begins to run shall not be included and the last day of the period so computed shall be included, but if any period expires or delivery date falls on a date that is not a business day under this Agreement, such period shall be deemed to expire and such delivery date shall be deemed to fall on the immediately succeeding business day.
(o) Survival. Any covenants, representations or indemnities set forth in this Agreement, including without limitation those set forth in Section 9, Section 10, Section 11 and Section 15 above and in Section 18(p) set forth hereinafter, shall survive the Close of Escrow or any termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that the respective period of survival of each of such covenants, representations or indemnities shall be solely as provided in the applicable provisions of this Agreement.
(p) Confidentiality. Neither Buyer, Seller, nor any broker employed or engaged by any of them shall issue (or cause to be issued) any press releases concerning the subject matter hereof, structure of the transactions or the status of negotiations conducted hereunder except as may be jointly agreed to by Seller and Buyer or as any of them may reasonably consider necessary in order to satisfy the requirements of applicable law;provided,however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
21
Buyer may, free from the restrictions of this Section 18(p), report on the transaction completed by this Agreement in connection with: (i) any press release or investor call concerning Buyer’s earnings or financial performance, (ii) any filings or disclosures required to be made to the Securities and Exchange Commission or state securities’ commission in accordance with applicable law, or (iii) any meetings or conference calls with, or disclosures made to, Buyer’s consultants, contractors, investors, principals, employees, agents, attorneys, accountants and other advisors. The foregoing restrictions shall survive the Close of Escrow for six (6) months.
(q) Joint and Several. The obligations of Seller hereunder shall be joint and several in every respect. If Buyer delivers notice to one Seller hereunder, such notice shall be deemed delivered to each Seller. The actions of any one Seller shall be binding on each other Seller and Buyer shall be entitled to rely on any such action, even if not specifically unanimous.
