Upon the Residence Closing Date for any Construction Residence, Seller shall deliver originals of the Files with respect to such Construction Residence to Purchaser to the extent Seller has not previously done so and in accordance with other provisions of this Agreement, and Seller shall continue to have access thereto as provided herein. 2. PURCHASE PRICE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION RESIDENCES. A. Payment. Subject to adjustments as may be applicable pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the purchase price for each Construction Residence shall be as set forth on the Addendum of even date herewith by and between HCR Manor Care and Purchaser (the "Addendum"), which Addendum is incorporated herein by reference (each, the "Residence Purchase Price"). The Residence Purchase Price for a Construction Residence shall be payable to Seller at the Residence Closing Date for such Construction Residence in accordance with Section 4 hereof, subject to the prorations and adjustments set forth herein, by wire transfer through the federal reserve system in immediately available funds to an account designated by Seller in advance. B. Allocation. Purchaser and Seller hereby agree that within thirty (30) days after the date of this Agreement, Seller will deliver to Purchaser Seller's proposed calculation of the allocation of the Residence Purchase Price among the Real Property, the Improvements, the Personal Property and the Related Interests with respect to each Construction Residence, and thereafter Purchaser and Seller will negotiate in good faith to finalize such allocation, such allocation to be agreed upon between Purchaser and Seller on or prior to the applicable Residence Closing Date. In the event Purchaser and Seller agree upon the allocation, then at the 6 12 Residence Closing Purchaser and Seller shall enter into an agreement to file IRS Form 8594 reflecting such agreed upon allocation. If Purchaser and Seller are unable to agree upon an allocation, then Purchaser and Seller shall each be entitled to report the transaction to the IRS using their respective allocations without further obligation to the other party with respect thereto. C. Calculation of Purchase Price. The Residence Purchase Price for each Construction Residence shall be as set forth on the Addendum, provided that such Construction Residence is a Completed Residence (as hereinafter defined) on the Residence Closing Date. In the event that any Construction Residence fails to qualify as a Completed Residence on the Residence Closing Date, then and in such event a portion of the Residence Purchase Price therefor shall be placed in escrow as provided in Section 22. 3. [INTENTIONALLY DELETED]. 4. CLOSING. The closing or settlement of the purchase and sale of each of the Construction Residences contemplated by this Agreement shall be held at such time and at such place as Seller and Purchaser shall mutually agree, subject to Section 22 hereof. The parties hereby acknowledge that, to facilitate an orderly transition of the Construction Residences from Seller to Purchaser, it will likely be desirable to schedule multiple closings whereby closings will be held with respect to one or more (but less than all) of the Construction Residences during the period commencing February 1, 1999. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that all conditions to closing with respect to any particular Construction Residence have been either satisfied or waived by the party for whose benefit they were imposed, and Seller and Purchaser have not agreed upon an alternative closing date, time and place, a closing for such Construction Residence shall be held at 10:00 a.m. on the date ten (10) days after Seller shall have delivered to Purchaser evidence that such Construction Residence is a Completed Residence, at the offices of Rogers & Hardin LLP, 2700 International Tower, 229 Peachtree St., N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30303. Each closing of one or more Construction Residences contemplated hereby shall be referred to herein as a "Residence Closing" and the date of any such Residence Closing shall be referred to herein as the "Residence Closing Date." A. Delivery; Possession. At the Residence Closing for any Construction Residence, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser the items required of Seller as elsewhere set forth herein and Purchaser shall deliver to Seller the Residence Purchase Price, subject to the prorations and adjustments as herein provided, and the items required of Purchaser as elsewhere set forth herein. Seller shall deliver possession of the applicable Construction Residence to Purchaser at the time of such Residence Closing, subject only to the applicable Permitted Title Exceptions (as hereinafter defined). B. Transfer Taxes. The parties agree that any and all city, county or state conveyance or transfer taxes, state stamp or documentary taxes and surtax stamps due upon the transfer of any Construction Residence or the deed evidencing same (including recording costs) shall be borne by the party that customarily pays such cost in the state in which the applicable 7 13 Construction Residence is located. In the event that the parties are unable to agree in good faith which party responsible for payment of such costs, then the decision of Title Company (as hereinafter defined) as to whether sellers or purchasers customarily bear such costs in such states shall be binding. C. Seller's Closing Costs. Seller shall pay the costs (including recording costs) of any cure of title defects required of Seller hereunder and the fees and expenses of Seller's own attorneys. All costs of satisfying any and all Monetary Encumbrances (as hereinafter defined), including without limitation the amount of the outstanding principal, accrued but unpaid outstanding interest, all prepayment penalties and all other sums that must be paid to cause the holder of any Monetary Encumbrance to release such Monetary Encumbrance, shall be borne by Seller. D. Purchaser's Closing Costs. Purchaser shall pay the cost of the title examinations, the premium for the Title Policies (as hereinafter defined), the costs of any surveys of the Real Property obtained by Purchaser, the costs of any other investigations, studies and appraisals conducted by Purchaser, and the fees and expenses of Purchaser's own attorneys. E. Existing Fines and Penalties. If any governmental authorities or agencies have levied any fines, penalties or assessments against any Construction Residence or Seller resulting from failure or alleged failure to comply with any regulatory or other governmental requirements (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Fines"), and Seller fails to pay any such Fines prior to the Residence Closing for such Construction Residence, and the failure to pay such Fines or any portion thereof (i) prevents the issuance or assignment of any Permit to Purchaser necessary for Purchaser's operation of such Construction Residence or results in the imposition of conditions to such Permit unacceptable to Purchaser or (ii) otherwise prohibits Purchaser's right to operate the Construction Residence for the licensure category and number of Residents identified on Schedule 1, then the full amount of such Fines, together with any additional penalties or interest, shall be withheld from the Residence Purchase Price payable to Seller and shall be paid directly to the appropriate governmental officials or agencies. F. Other Costs. All other closing costs shall be paid by the party incurring same. 5. TITLE. At each Residence Closing, Seller shall convey and transfer to Purchaser such good, indefeasible fee simple and marketable title to the applicable Construction Residence as will enable Chicago Title Insurance Company ("Title Company") to issue its full coverage, American Land Title Association Standard Coverage Owner's Policy of Title Insurance with the standard exceptions therein deleted, and with endorsements to include, at a minimum, zoning, access, comprehensive, survey and, if available in the state of such Construction Residence, utility availability and contiguity coverage (collectively referred to herein as the "Title Policy") in the amount of the applicable Residence Purchase Price, subject only to those matters hereinafter defined as the "Permitted Title Exceptions"; provided, however, in the event that Seller is unable to comply with this sentence due to the existence of a Non-Monetary Defect (as hereinafter defined) which does not constitute a Permitted Title Exception, Seller shall not be deemed to be 8 14 in default hereunder, but Purchaser shall not be obligated to close the acquisition of the Construction Residence affected thereby and the parties shall proceed as set forth in Section 14 hereof. Title to each Construction Residence shall be free and clear of, and shall not be subject to mechanics', materialmen's or similar liens, pledges, mortgages, deeds of trust, security deeds, security agreements, liens, judgments, conditional sales contracts, UCC financing statements or fixture filings, encumbrances, ground rents, past due taxes or assessments, fines, levies or other encumbrances of a monetary nature (herein collectively referred to as "Monetary Encumbrances") or leases, tenancies, parties in possession, covenants, conditions, restrictions, right-of-ways, easements, encroachments or any other agreements, contracts, rights, acts or other matters of any nature affecting the title thereto, except as permitted in this Agreement or the Permitted Title Exceptions. A. Examination of Title. Provided that Seller delivers to Purchaser copies of Seller's existing title policies (and not just commitments) and surveys for the Construction Residences within ten (10) days after the date of this Agreement, Purchaser shall have until the date forty-five (45) days after the date of this Agreement to examine title to each of the Construction Residences and to obtain Surveys (as hereinafter defined) and to deliver to Seller copies of title commitments issued by Title Company and such Surveys. Such forty-five (45) day period shall be extended one (1) day for each day that Seller is late in delivering the copies of Seller's title policies and surveys (provided that if Seller notifies Purchaser that Seller lacks such items, such forty-five (45) day period shall commence as of the date of such notice). Purchaser shall, within such period, notify Seller in writing of any defects in title which may be revealed by Purchaser's examination (which defects may include any matters revealed by the Surveys), including Monetary Encumbrances and any title defects that are non-monetary in nature other than Permitted Title Exceptions ("Non-Monetary Defects"). Purchaser agrees that Purchaser shall not object to (A) any recorded utility easements serving only a Construction Residence or any recorded utility easements serving adjacent properties and located on the Real Property, but, with respect to all such recorded utility easements Purchaser shall not object if and only to the extent (i) any building constituting a part of the Improvements for such Construction Residence does not encroach upon and is not constructed over such easement, (ii) such easement has been located and identified by the surveyor on the Survey applicable thereto, and (iii) such easement does not render title unmarketable or unreasonably interfere with the current or future operations of the Construction Residence, (B) any minor encroachments of improvements such as fences, paving or similar improvements, and (C) any other matters as Purchaser in the exercise of good faith reasonably determines will not have a material adverse impact on Purchaser's operation of the Construction Residence or otherwise is a defect that is not a material impediment to Purchaser's ability to finance or convey such Construction Residence. (A) - (C) shall be deemed to be "Permitted Title Exceptions" hereunder. Within ten (10) days after Seller's receipt of Purchaser's notice with respect to any Construction Residence, Seller shall give notice to Purchaser either (x) refusing to cure the applicable Non-Monetary Defects or (y) setting forth Seller's intent to cure such Non-Monetary Defects and stating in detail how Seller will accomplish same. Failure of Seller to timely give such notice shall be deemed to be a refusal by Seller to cure any such Non-Monetary Defects. Upon the later of receipt of Seller's notice or expiration of the ten (10) day period, then Purchaser may, at any time prior to ten (10) days after the receipt by Purchaser of Seller's response or expiration of Seller's response time, by notice to Seller, (i) elect to terminate Purchaser's obligation to purchase such Construction Residence 9 15 pursuant to this Agreement, whereupon the provisions of Section 14 shall be applicable with respect to such Construction Residence, or (ii) accept title to such Construction Residence subject to the Non-Monetary Defects that Seller has not undertaken to cure, in which event such Non-Monetary Defects, together with all title exceptions and matters appearing on the Title Commitment with respect to such Construction Residence to which Purchaser did not object, will be deemed Permitted Title Exceptions hereunder. If Seller elects option (y) as to any Construction Residence and at the applicable Residence Closing Seller fails to cure the applicable Non-Monetary Defects in the manner Seller has undertaken to so cure in its notice to Purchaser to the satisfaction of Purchaser, Purchaser will again have the options set forth in (i) and (ii) above. Seller agrees not to further voluntarily alter or encumber in any way title to any Construction Residence after the date of this Agreement, except for encumbrances imposed in the ordinary course of business of which Seller notifies Purchaser and which Seller will cause to be removed at or prior to the applicable Residence Closing. In the event that Purchaser fails to timely notify Seller of title defects as to any Construction Residence, then such failure to notify Seller shall constitute a waiver of Purchaser's right to object to any Non-Monetary Defects with respect to any Construction Residence but shall not be a waiver of Seller's absolute obligation hereunder to remove Monetary Encumbrances, nor a waiver of Purchaser's right to object to matters that arise subsequent to such date. Purchaser shall have the right to re-examine and update title to any Construction Residence and update the applicable Survey through and including the applicable Residence Closing Date and in the event any such examination or update reveals any new matters first arising or appearing of record subsequent to Purchaser's first examination of title (other than Permitted Title Exceptions), then (i) if such new matters were voluntarily imposed by Seller in violation of this Section 5.A, Seller shall be in default hereunder and the provisions of Section 18.B shall apply or (ii) if such new matters were not voluntarily imposed by Seller, then Purchaser shall have the right to object to same and will again have the options set forth in (i) and (ii) above. B. Survey Matters. Purchaser may obtain a current as-built plat of survey ("Survey") of the Land for each Construction Residence. Each Survey shall be prepared for and certified by a registered land surveyor licensed as such in the state in which the Construction Residence is located. Purchaser's and Seller's rights and obligations with regard to title defects revealed by Surveys shall be those indicated in Section 5.A. above. 6. PRORATIONS AND CREDITS AT CLOSING.

As of the date of this Agreement and on the applicable Residence Closing Date, all licenses, approvals, accreditations or certificates necessary to enable Seller to complete construction of the Construction Residence, including, without limitation, the Permits, are or will be in full force and effect and in good standing and there is no action pending, or to Seller's knowledge threatened or recommended by the appropriate state, federal or local agency having jurisdiction to revoke, withdraw or suspend any license, approval, accreditation or certificate nor has Seller received any warning or notice of any violation of any applicable law with respect to the construction of the Construction Residence. Seller has delivered or will within thirty (30) days after the date of this Agreement deliver to Purchaser true, correct and complete copies of the Permits relating to construction the Construction Residence (including without limitation the grading and building permits). R. Reports. Seller to Seller's knowledge has filed all material reports, disclosures and other information as is required under the laws or regulations of any federal, state or local governmental organization or agency. S. Employees; Unions. Schedule 9-D, which Seller shall provide to Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of Section 21 hereof, is a true, correct and complete list of the payroll report for all Employees employed at each Construction Residence, which payroll report identifies each Employee, their hire date, such Employee's rate of pay and any bonuses or other incentives promised or contemplated with respect to such Employee. Except to the extent set forth in such reports, there are no other employees or others entitled to compensation or a salary at the Construction Residence. Seller is not a party to any collective bargaining agreements, contracts of employment, profit sharing, bonus, deferred compensation, stock option, severance pay or pension or retirement plans with respect to any of its Employees at the Construction Residence and is not a party to or aware of any labor dispute or grievance with respect to the Property except as shall be summarized on Schedule 9-D. None of the Employees at the Construction Residences is employed pursuant to a written employment agreement. From and after the date of this Agreement, Seller will not take any action, or fail to take any action or consent to or affirmatively permit any third party to take or fail to take any action, which would reasonably be expected to result in an inaccuracy or a breach of any warranty, representation or covenant contained in this Section 9 or which would impair or impede Seller's ability to reaffirm such representations, warranties and covenants as true, correct and complete as of the Residence Closing Date. 10.

G. Personal Property Inventory. Seller shall not remove any of the Personal Property from any Construction Residence nor use any of the Personal Property except such use thereof as is normal and customary in the operation and maintenance of the Property.

J. Existing Employees. Seller's and Purchaser's obligations with respect to persons engaged to perform pre-opening activities will be governed by Section 23 hereof. The parties hereto hereby agree that the provisions of this Section 11(J) and Section 23 are for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereof, and, accordingly, no third party (including Employees) shall be entitled to rely upon or enforce any of the agreements set forth herein. K. Notices and Consents. Each of Purchaser and Seller will (and will cause any of its affiliates to) give any notices to, make any filings with, and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any authorizations, consents and approvals of governments and governmental agencies required in connection with consummating the sale of the Construction Residences pursuant hereto; provided, that with respect to Permits, Section 11.H shall govern. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the parties hereto will file any Notification and Report Forms and related material that it may be required to file with the Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR Act"), will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an early termination of any applicable waiting period and will make any further filings pursuant thereto that may be necessary or advisable in connection therewith. 12. PURCHASER'S INSPECTION OF PROPERTY. A. Access. Purchaser shall, at all reasonable times as reasonably scheduled with Seller prior to the applicable Residence Closing Date, have the privilege of visiting and inspecting each Construction Residence with its agents, representatives and contractually 24 30 retained independent contractors as needed to inspect, examine, test, appraise and survey such Construction Residence, including, but not limited to, investigations of the zoning status and physical status thereof and verification of all information made or to be made available to Purchaser with respect to such Construction Residence. In addition, Purchaser shall have the right to obtain such letters, certificates or statements from appropriate governmental officials or other experts concerning zoning and other matters related to the Construction Residences. This privilege shall include the right to make surveys, examinations, appraisals and other tests to obtain any relevant information necessary to determine subsurface and topographic conditions, including, but not limited to, Hazardous Substances studies, soil tests, asbestos analysis and structural review, all of which tests, studies and reviews shall be performed at Purchaser's sole cost and expense and which shall not materially interfere with the operation of the Construction Residences by Seller. In addition, Purchaser shall have the right to inspect all other matters required to be delivered by Seller to Purchaser hereunder. In consideration of Purchaser's right to inspect the Construction Residences as described in this Section 12.A, Purchaser shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify, defend and hold Seller and Seller's employees, agents and residents harmless from any losses, costs or expenses arising out of the exercise of such privileges by Purchaser (including any rights or claims of materialmen or mechanics to liens on the Construction Residences, but excepting acts resulting from the negligence or willful conduct of Seller or Seller's agents, principals, employees, representatives, affiliates or others whose presence is suffered or permitted by Seller), which indemnity, defense and hold harmless agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement. Purchaser shall repair any damage to the Construction Residences resulting from Purchaser's inspection of the Construction Residences and shall maintain (or cause its contractors to maintain) adequate liability insurance and shall provide evidence of same to Seller. B. Termination Election. In the event that any of Purchaser's inspections, examinations, tests or surveys of any Construction Residence reveal any condition or fact (or raises substantial uncertainty with respect to the existence of any such condition or fact) with respect to (i) compliance of the Construction Residence with all Land Use Requirements materially necessary for the current and future operation of the Construction Residence or which will substantially impede future financing of any Construction Residence or (ii) a Recognized Environmental Condition (as hereinafter defined), then provided that Purchaser shall give notice thereof (together with a copy of any report or reports related thereto) within forty-five (45) days after the date of this Agreement (the "Review Period"), Purchaser may, in its sole and absolute discretion, have the right to elect to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Construction Residence, whereupon the provisions of Section 14 hereof shall be applicable with respect to such Construction Residence. Failure of Purchaser to give notice of a termination election pursuant to this Section 12.B prior to the expiration of the Review Period shall constitute a waiver of Purchaser's right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.B unless Purchaser has conducted customary inspections and examinations during such Review Period which did not reveal such condition or fact, and Purchaser first becomes aware of any such condition or fact after expiration of such Review Period. As used herein, a "Recognized Environmental Condition" is defined as the presence or likely presence of any Hazardous Substances on, in, under or adjacent to an Construction Residence under conditions that indicate an existing release, a past release or a material threat of a release of any Hazardous Substance on the Construction Property or into the ground, groundwater or surface water of the Construction 25 31 Property or properties adjacent thereto. The term includes Hazardous Substances even under conditions in compliance with Environmental Laws. The term is not intended to include de minimus conditions that do not present a material risk of harm to public health or the environment and that generally would not be the subject of an enforcement action if brought to the attention of appropriate governmental agencies. C. Right to Update Information, including Representations and Warranties. Seller shall have the right at any time during the term of this Agreement to update any information previously provided by Seller to Purchaser, including without limitation the Schedules to this Agreement and any information necessary to qualify any representation or warranty set forth in Section 9 (through the addition of new Schedules) which Seller determines is incorrect other than as a result of Seller's breach of its obligations hereunder (in which event Section 18.B shall apply). If Seller provides Purchaser with an updated Schedule or other updated information at any time on or before the applicable Residence Closing and such update is not a result of Seller's breach hereunder, then Purchaser shall have ten (10) days in which to elect to terminate this Agreement with respect to the applicable Construction Residence by delivering notice to Seller within ten (10) days after receipt by Purchaser of such update, whereupon the provisions of Section 14 shall be operative with respect to such Construction Residence; provided, however, that Schedules originally delivered pursuant to Section 21 hereof shall not be deemed "updated schedules" with respect to this sentence. Failure of Purchaser to elect to terminate this Agreement with respect to an Construction Residence by timely notice to Seller shall be deemed a waiver of Purchaser's right to elect to terminate as a result of such update but shall not limit or impair Purchaser's right to thereafter elect to terminate in the event of any subsequent update. The applicable Residence Closing Date shall be extended, if necessary, to permit ten (10) days for Purchaser to make Purchaser's election as set forth above. 13. CONDITIONS TO EACH RESIDENCE CLOSING. A. Conditions to Each Parties' Obligation to Close. The respective obligations of each party hereto to affect any Residence Closing shall be subject to the fulfillment at or prior to the applicable Residence Closing Date of the following conditions, any or all of which may be waived, in whole or in part, to the extent permitted by applicable law: (i) HSR Act. The applicable waiting period under the HSR Act shall have expired or been terminated without action by the Justice Department or the Federal Trade Commission to prevent consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby and without the impositions of any conditions. (ii) Licensing Arrangement. Prior to or simultaneously with the first Residence Closing, HCR Manor Care, Purchaser and their respective affiliates intended to be parties thereto shall have entered into definitive license agreements with respect the licensing arrangement contemplated by that certain Letter of Intent related thereto dated as of the date of this Agreement by and between Seller and Purchaser. B. Conditions to Purchaser's Obligation to Close.

All the warranties, representations and covenants of Seller contained in this Agreement with respect to such Construction Residence or the Seller entities owning such Construction Residence (as qualified by any Schedules delivered pursuant to Sections 12.C or 21) shall be true in all respects on the applicable Residence Closing Date with the same effect as if they had been made on such Residence Closing Date and shall be reaffirmed by Seller in writing at the Residence Closing, and Seller shall have performed all covenants and obligations to have been performed and satisfied by Seller with respect to such Construction Residence prior to the Residence Closing Date; provided, however, that with respect to any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant by Seller with respect an Construction Residence or the Seller entities which own such Construction Residence which do not (i) interfere with or impair such Seller entities' right and ability to fully perform its obligations hereunder with respect to such Construction Residence or (ii) materially and adversely affect the fair market value of such Construction Residence (any such breach referred to herein as a "Minor Breach"), Purchaser's sole remedy shall be an action for damages pursuant to Section 18 hereof and the existence of any such Minor Breach shall not excuse Purchaser's obligation to purchase such Construction Residence hereunder. (ii) Completed Construction. Such Construction Residence shall comply with the definition of a Completed Residence (as defined in Section 22), except in the case of up to three (3) Incomplete Residences. (iii) Termination Election.

In the event that any condition to Purchaser's obligation to purchase any Construction Residence to Section 13.B. hereunder shall not have been satisfied or waived by Purchaser as of the applicable Residence Closing Date (such condition, a "Failed Condition"), Seller may, by written notice given to Purchaser prior to or within three (3) business days following the date that such Residence Closing would have occurred, elect one of the following alternatives: A. Deferral of Residence Closing Date. Seller may defer the Residence Closing Date with respect to such Construction Residence for a period of up to 30 days after the original Residence Closing Date in order to seek to satisfy any such Failed Condition. B. Indemnification and Cure. Seller may agree to indemnify Purchaser with respect to all liability or exposure arising as a result of such Failed Condition pursuant to an 27 33 indemnification agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Purchaser, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, whereupon Purchaser shall be obligated to proceed with the purchase of such Construction Residence provided that pursuant to such indemnification agreement Seller agrees to repurchase the Construction Residence from Purchaser for a purchase price equal to the purchase price paid by Purchaser to Seller hereunder, together with interest thereon at the per annum rate of 9% from the date of such Residence Closing to the date of such repurchase, in the event that the Failed Condition shall not have been cured or satisfied by Seller within 90 days of the original Residence Closing Date. C. Withdrawal of Residence. With respect to no more than three (3) of the Construction Residences in the aggregate, Seller may elect to withdraw and remove such Construction Residence from the terms of this Agreement whereupon Purchaser shall have no further obligation hereunder to purchase such Construction Residence. D. Withdrawal and Substitution. Seller shall be entitled to withdraw such Construction Residences from the terms of this Agreement provided that Seller offers to Purchaser in replacement thereof one (1) or more assisted living or dementia care residences owned by Seller having a comparable economic value.

CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION. A. Casualty. In the event that prior to the applicable Residence Closing Date any of the Improvements of the applicable Construction Residence are damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty to any extent (other than such minor damage as may be fully repaired by Seller prior to the Residence Closing Date), then Seller shall give Purchaser immediate notice thereof and Purchaser shall have the right to elect not to purchase such Construction Residence so 29 35 damaged or destroyed (a "Section 16.A. Election") by written notice to Seller within ten (10) days after Purchaser receives notice of such fire or other casualty, and thereafter neither party hereto shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder with respect to such Construction Residence except to the extent that any right, obligation or liability set forth herein expressly survives termination of this Agreement. In the event that Purchaser does not make a Section 16.A. Election with respect to an Construction Residence, Purchaser shall be obligated to close the purchase and sale contemplated by this Agreement as scheduled without adjustment of the applicable Residence Purchase Price and Seller shall assign to Purchaser at such Residence Closing all insurance proceeds payable under Seller's insurance policies on account of such damage or destruction or pay to Purchaser all such insurance proceeds previously paid, and pay to Purchaser at such Residence Closing an amount equal to the amount which the insurer is entitled pursuant to the terms of the applicable insurance policy to deduct from the proceeds otherwise payable to Seller on account of such casualty loss, and Seller shall not be obligated to repair or restore the Property. The applicable Residence Closing Date shall be extended, if necessary, to permit ten (10) days for Purchaser to make Purchaser's election as set forth above. B. Condemnation. In the event that prior to any Residence Closing Date there shall be instituted against any portion of the applicable Construction Residence any proceeding in condemnation, eminent domain or any written request for a conveyance in lieu thereof, or limiting or restricting access thereto or should Seller receive notice that such proceedings are threatened or have been commenced against such Construction Residence (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Condemnation Proceedings"), then Seller shall give Purchaser immediate notice thereof and Purchaser shall have the right to elect not to purchase such Construction Residence (a "Section 16.B. Election") by written notice to Seller within ten (10) days after Purchaser receives notice of such Condemnation Proceedings, and thereafter neither party hereto shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder with respect to such Construction Residence except to the extent that any right, obligation or liability set forth herein expressly survives termination of this Agreement. In the event that Purchaser shall not make a Section 16.B. Election with respect to an Construction Residence, Purchaser shall be obligated to close the purchase and sale contemplated hereby less the portion of such Construction Residence so taken or subject to said Condemnation Proceedings without adjustment of the applicable Residence Purchase Price and Seller shall assign or pay to Purchaser at the applicable Residence Closing all of Seller's right, title and interest in any award payable on account of such Condemnation Proceedings or pay to Purchaser all such awards previously paid and Seller shall have no obligation to repair or restore such Construction Residence not so taken by said Condemnation Proceedings.

Seller and Purchaser shall and do hereby indemnify and defend the other against and hold the other harmless of and from all claims, demands and liabilities for any breach of the foregoing representations and warranties, including without limitation, for any commission, fee or other compensation payable to or claimed by any broker or finder employed (express or implied) by it or with whom it made an agreement (express or implied) to pay a broker's commission, a finder's fee or other compensation. 18. DEFAULT. A. In the event that Purchaser defaults in the observance or performance of its covenants and obligations hereunder after written notice by Seller to Purchaser of such default and Purchaser's failure to cure such default within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice, Seller shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Purchaser of such termination and shall also be entitled, as its sole and exclusive remedy hereunder to payment by Purchaser to Seller of the Applicable Liquidated Damage Amount as defined and set forth on Schedule 18 hereof as full liquidated damages for such default of Purchaser. The parties hereby acknowledge the difficulty of ascertaining the actual damages in the event of such a default, that it is impossible more precisely to estimate the damages to be suffered by Seller upon Purchaser's default and that the aforesaid payments are intended not as a penalty, but as full liquidated damages and that such amounts constitutes a good faith estimate of the potential damages arising therefrom. Seller's right to so terminate this Agreement and to retain the aforesaid payment as full liquidated damages is Seller's sole and exclusive remedy in the event of default hereunder by Purchaser, and Seller hereby waives, relinquishes, releases and covenants not to pursue any and all other rights and remedies, including, but not limited to (i) any right to sue Purchaser for specific performance of this Agreement, (ii) any right to sue Purchaser for damages or to prove that Seller's actual damages exceed the amounts agreed upon herein as full liquidated damages, and (iii) any other right or remedy which Seller may otherwise have against Purchaser, either hereunder, at law, in equity or otherwise. B. In the event that Seller defaults in the observance or performance of its covenants and obligations hereunder after written notice by Purchaser to Seller of such default and Seller's failure to cure such default within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice, Purchaser shall be entitled: (i) in the case of any default other than a Minor Breach, to pursue any or all rights or remedies as may be provided hereunder and at law, in equity or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to terminate this Agreement as to any Construction Residence which is affected by such default (subject to the provisions of Section 14 hereof) or (ii) in the case of any Minor Breach, to pursue an action for damages resulting from such Minor Breach, including without limitation an action to recover all costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser in pursuing such damages, including attorneys' fees and expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing in no event shall Purchaser be entitled to bring an action for any Minor Breach or Minor Breaches except to the extent that the aggregate amount that Purchaser, but for this sentence, would be entitled to recover on account of such Minor Breach and any Minor Breaches under the Operating Purchase Agreement in the aggregate exceeds $4,000,000.00 and in no event shall Seller's aggregate liability for Minor Breaches under this Agreement and the Operating Purchase Agreement exceed $25,000,000.00. 31 37 19. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; INDEMNIFICATION. A. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and in any certificate delivered at any Residence Closing shall be deemed to have been relied upon notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made or omitted by any party hereto and shall survive each Residence Closing for a period of two (2) years after the date of the final Residence Closing hereunder. B. Seller's Indemnification Obligations. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 19, Seller agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless against any and all losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, legal and other expenses) resulting from or relating to: (i) any debt, liability or obligation of Seller other than any liabilities of Seller expressly assumed by Purchaser in accordance herewith, and any claim or demand of any third party with respect to any act or occurrence at, or the operation of, any Construction Residence prior to such Construction Residence's Residence Closing Date (provided, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to make Seller liable for any loss, cost or expense resulting from the physical condition of a Construction Residence as of a Residence Closing Date); and (ii) any failure of Seller to comply with the Bulk Sales Law of the states in which any of the Construction Residences are located; any and all actions, suits, demands, assessments or judgments with respect to any claim arising out of or relating to the subject matter of the indemnification. Notwithstanding the focusing, nothing in this Section 19-B shall be deemed to require Seller to indemnify Purchaser for any claim, demand, action, suit, assessment or judgment against Purchaser solely for contribution (or similar action) because Purchaser appears in the chain of title. C. Purchaser's Indemnification Obligations. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 19, Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless against any and all losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, legal and other expenses), resulting from or relating to: (i) any claim or demand of any third party with respect to any act or occurrence at, or the operation of, any Construction Residence on or after such Construction Residence's Residence Closing Date; and any and all actions, suits, demands, assessments or judgments with respect to any claim arising out of or relating to the subject matter of the indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 19-C shall be deemed to require Purchaser to indemnify Seller for any claim, demand, action, suit, assessment or judgment against Purchaser solely for contribution (or similar action) because Seller appears in the chain of title. 32 38 D. Procedure for Indemnification Claims. The respective indemnification obligations of Seller and Purchaser pursuant to Section 19 shall be conditioned upon compliance by Seller and Purchaser with the following procedures for indemnification claims based upon or arising out of any claim, action or proceeding by any person not a party to this Agreement. (i) If at any time a claim shall be made or threatened, or an action or proceeding shall be commenced or threatened, against a party hereto (the "Aggrieved Party") which could result in liability of the other party (the "Indemnifying Party") under its indemnification obligations hereunder, the Aggrieved Party shall give to the Indemnifying Party prompt notice of such claim, action or proceeding. Such notice shall state the basis for the claim, action or proceeding and the amount thereof (to the extent such amount is determinable at the time when such notice is given) and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim, action or proceeding (including any action or proceeding resulting from any such claim). Failure by the Indemnifying Party to notify the Aggrieved Party of its election to defend any such claim, action or proceeding within a reasonable time, but in no event more than fifteen days after notice thereof shall have been given to the Indemnifying Party, shall be deemed a waiver by the Indemnifying Party of its right to defend such claim, action or proceeding; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be deemed to have waived its right to contest and defend against any claim of the Aggrieved Party for indemnification hereunder based upon or arising out of such claim, action or proceeding. (ii) If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such claim, action or proceeding, the obligation of the Indemnifying Party as to such claim, action or proceeding shall be limited to taking all steps necessary in the defense or settlement thereof and, provided the Indemnifying Party is held to be liable for indemnification hereunder, to holding the Aggrieved Party harmless from and against any and all losses, damages and liabilities caused by or arising out of any settlement approved by the Indemnifying Party or any judgment or award rendered in connection with such claim, action or proceeding. The Aggrieved Party may participate, at its expense, in the defense of such claim, action or proceeding provided that the Indemnifying Party shall direct and control the defense of such claim, action or proceeding. The Aggrieved Party agrees to cooperate and make available to the Indemnified Party all books and records and such officers, employees and agents as are reasonably necessary and useful in connection with the defense. The Indemnifying Party shall not, in the defense of such claim, action or proceeding, consent to the entry of any judgment or award, or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Aggrieved Party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim, action or proceeding, except in either event with the prior consent of the Aggrieved Party. (iii) If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such claim, action or proceeding, the Aggrieved Party may defend against such claim, action or proceeding in such manner as it may deem appropriate. The Indemnifying Party agrees to cooperate and make available to the Aggrieved Party all books and records and such officers, employees and agents as are reasonably necessary and useful in connection with the defense. 33 39 (iv) In the event an Aggrieved Party or Indemnifying Party shall cooperate in the defense or make available books, records, officers, employees or agents, as required by the terms of subparagraphs (ii) and (iii), respectively, of this Section 19.F., the party to which such cooperation is provided shall pay the out-of-pocket costs and expenses including legal fees and disbursements) of the party providing such cooperation and of its officers, employees and agents reasonably incurred in connection with providing such cooperation, but shall not be responsible to reimburse the party providing such cooperation for such party's time or the salaries or costs of fringe benefits or other similar expenses paid by the party providing such cooperation to its officers and employees in connection therewith. 20. CAMPUS PROPERTIES. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that with respect to the campus properties (each, a "Campus Property") constituting one of the Construction Residences identified on Schedule 20, the parties may determine prior to the applicable Residency Closing Date that is not possible to legally subdivide such Campus Properties from the adjacent facility or facilities. With respect to any Campus Property that Purchaser and Seller determine cannot be so legally subdivided, Purchaser and Seller agree that they shall negotiate in good faith for Seller to convey such Campus Property together with the adjacent facility or facilities to Purchaser at no increase in the Residence Purchase Price applicable thereto and thereafter Purchaser and Seller shall enter into a long term ground lease by Seller of the adjacent facility or facilities, which long term ground lease shall be for an initial term of ninety-nine (99) years and which shall be renewable at the option of Seller for an additional ninety-nine (99) year term. Pursuant to such ground lease, the tenant thereunder shall have all obligations for maintenance, repair and operation of such adjacent facilities and the rent for such adjacent facilities shall be payable in a single installment upon the commencement date in an amount equal to $1.00, with rental for the renewal period to be equal to $1.00. Such lease shall be fully assignable, transferable and subleaseable by the tenant thereunder who shall also be entitled to mortgage or pledge such lease or its leasehold estate in connection with any financing. The ground lease shall contain such provisions as the parties shall negotiate in good faith to address issues involving subordination/priority of financing transactions, nondisturbance rights and other similar issues to afford Seller protection with respect to its leasehold estate in the event of Purchaser's financing and to afford Purchaser protection with respect to the impact on the financability of the Campus Property as a result of the ground lease. Such ground lease shall contain such other customary provisions as the parties so agree including appropriate easements, cost sharing agreements and other similar matters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither party shall have any obligation to engage in the above-described transaction if it determines in its discretion that doing so may cause material problems for it for accounting, tax, licensure, financing or other reasons such as future marketability, in which event such Campus Property shall be treated under Section 14. 21. POST-EXECUTION DELIVERY OF SCHEDULES. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that in the interest of expediting execution of this Agreement, Seller had inadequate time to prepare and Purchaser had inadequate time to review 34 40 all of the necessary schedules to accompany this Agreement. Accordingly, Seller hereby agrees that Seller shall, on or before the date thirty (30) days after the date of this Agreement deliver to Purchaser Schedules identified on page (iv) hereof as well as any additional schedules which Seller believes are necessary to make Seller's representations and warranties, as qualified thereby, true and accurate in all respects (the "Post-Execution Schedules"). Upon receipt of all of the Post-Execution Schedules, Purchaser shall have a period of thirty (30) days to review such Post-Execution Schedules, to request such additional information or clarification as Purchaser shall reasonably deem necessary and to object by notice to Seller to any matters shown thereon which in Purchaser's reasonable judgment are material matters that Purchaser would have required Seller address or correct prior to the execution hereof had adequate time been available ("Objectionable Schedule Items"). Within ten (10) days after Seller's receipt of Purchaser's notice with respect to any Objectionable Schedule Items, Seller shall give notice to Purchaser either (i) refusing to cure the applicable Objectionable Schedule Items or (ii) setting forth Seller's intent to cure such Objectionable Schedule Items and stating in detail how Seller will accomplish same. Failure of Seller to timely give such notice shall be deemed to be a refusal by Seller to cure any such Objectionable Schedule Items. Upon the latter of receipt of Seller's notice or expiration of the ten (10) day period, then Purchaser may, at any time prior to ten (10) days after the receipt by Purchaser of Seller's response or expiration of Seller's response time, by notice to Seller, (x) elect to terminate Purchaser's obligation to purchase any Construction Residence effected by such Objectionable Schedule Item pursuant to this Agreement, whereupon the provisions of Section 14 shall be applicable with respect to such Construction Residence or (y) accept such Construction Residences subject to such Objectionable Schedule Items that Seller has not undertaken to cure, in which event such Objectionable Schedule Items, together with all other items appearing on the schedules to which Purchaser did not object, will be deemed Acceptable Schedule Items hereunder. If Purchaser elects option (ii) as to any Objectionable Schedules Items and at the applicable Residence Closing Seller fails to cure the Objectionable Schedule Items in the manner Seller has undertaken to so cure in its notice to Purchaser to the satisfaction of Purchaser, Purchaser will again have the option set forth in (x) and (y) above. In the event that Purchaser fails to timely notify Seller of Objectional Schedule Items, then such failure to notify Seller shall constitute a waiver of Purchaser's right to object to such Objectionable Schedule Items but shall not be a waiver of Seller's other obligations hereunder nor a waiver of Purchaser's right to object to matters that arise subsequent to such date. 22. CLOSING COMPLETED RESIDENCE; CLOSING PRIOR TO COMPLETION OF CONSTRUCTION. A. Completed Residence Defined. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that Purchaser shall have no obligation to consummate the closing of any Construction Residence hereunder unless and until such residence is a "Completed Residence". As used herein, the term "Completed Residence" shall mean a residence that satisfies all of the following: (i) such residence has been completed in accordance with all Construction Items (as hereinafter defined) approved by Purchaser and such completion has been certified by Seller's architect in a certificate addressed to Purchaser; (ii) a certificate of occupancy has been issued by the applicable governmental entity issuing such permits in the jurisdiction in which the Construction Residence is located and such certificate of occupancy is not conditioned or temporary; (iii) the governmental agency or regulatory authority that conducts the physical inspections necessary for the issuance of all applicable operating licensure shall have completed such inspection and shall 35 41 have provided a written report either identifying no defects in the physical plant of the Construction Residence or, if such defects are noted, Seller shall have corrected or caused such defects to be corrected and shall have provided evidence thereof to Purchaser; (iv) all material items of Personal Property shall be present at the Construction Residence acquired hereunder and (v) all other obligations in Section 13 shall be satisfied. B. Incomplete Residence. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that it is possible that some of the Construction Residences will not be Completed Residences as of June 1, 1999 and accordingly, Purchaser and Seller agree that notwithstanding such failure to meet such definition, Purchaser will be obligated to acquire up to, but not to exceed, three (3) Construction Residences which fail to meet the definition of Completed Residences on June 1, 1999. As to any Construction Residence which fails to meet the definition of a Completed Residence but which is included within the three (3) Construction Residences that Purchaser is obligated to acquire on June 1, 1999 (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Incomplete Residences"), at the Residence Closing for such Incomplete Residence, Seller's architect shall certify the percentage of construction of such residence which remain uncompleted and the percentage of the Residence Purchase Price allocable thereto plus a ten percent (10%) retainage shall be delivered into escrow with Title Company, (the "Escrow Fund") who shall hold and disburse the Escrow Fund in accordance with an Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Fund shall include not only the applicable proportionate share of the purchase price allocable to the Incomplete Residence, but also any additional sums for Personal Property that Seller is obligated to deliver pursuant hereto but which is not in place at the Incomplete Residence as of the Residence Closing Date. The Escrow Closing Agreement shall provide that Title Company shall hold and disburse such Escrow Fund either on a construction draw basis to be agreed upon by Purchaser and Seller or in a single disbursement when the Construction Residence meets the definition of a Completed Residence and the 10% retainage shall be refunded at that time. In addition, upon the disbursement of the Escrow Fund for such residence, Seller shall be obligated to deliver final lien waivers so as to enable Title Company to endorse Purchaser's title policy in an aggregate amount equal to the total purchase price (including the Escrow Fund), with an appropriate date down endorsement and without exception for mechanic's or materialmen's liens. At each Residence Closing, Seller shall also assign to Purchaser all of Seller's rights under and with respect to any architectural, engineering or construction contracts, and shall contain the consent of the third parties thereto, and shall cause Purchaser to be named as a dual obligee on any existing payment and performance bonds; provided, however, that in the event that Seller is unable to obtain the consents of third parties required hereunder, Seller shall not be deemed to be in default hereunder, but Purchaser shall not be obligated to close the acquisition of the Construction Residence affected thereby and the parties shall proceed as set forth in Section 14 hereof. Seller and Purchaser shall also execute and enter into a development agreement at such Residence Closing whereby Seller will confirm its obligations to complete or cause to be completed the construction of the Construction Residence to satisfy the definition of a Completed Residence at no cost or expense to Purchaser pursuant to a timetable agreed upon by Purchaser and Seller therein and Seller will acknowledge that any cost overruns in completing such construction shall be borne by Seller. 23. CONSTRUCTION OVERSIGHT AND RELATED ISSUES. 36 42 A. Approval of Plans and Specifications. Within thirty (30) days after the date of this Agreement, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser those items identified on Schedule 23 hereto (the "Construction Items"). Purchaser shall thereafter review the Construction Items and notify Seller with respect to any matters found thereon that are inconsistent in any material respect with any similar residence previously owned or operated by Seller as to the level of tenant improvements and finishes, quality and quantity of Personal property and other similar matters. Upon receipt of such notice, Seller and Purchaser shall work together to resolve any disputes and to agree upon final specifications for each of the Construction Items. Thereafter, at each Residence Closing, Seller shall deliver such Construction Residence in compliance with the applicable Construction Items related thereto, including, without limitation, fully stocked with all applicable Personal Property necessary for the ordinary operation of the facility upon the admission of residents. B. Employees; Pre-Opening Expenses. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller has existing Employees with respect to some of the Construction Residences, which employees will be identified on Schedule 9-D to be delivered by Seller hereunder. Purchaser agrees that Purchaser shall hire such employees to be Purchaser's employees and to conduct such pre-opening market activities during the first three (3) months that this Agreement is in effect, with all such Employees to be employed by Purchaser by the earlier of (i) the Residence Closing for the applicable Construction Residences or (ii) March 31, 1999. Purchaser shall extend offers of employment to such employees at existing salary or wage levels and on other terms and conditions which, taken as a whole, are substantially equivalent to the terms and conditions under which such employees are currently employed. Purchaser further agrees that with respect to any Pre-Opening Expenses (as hereinafter defined) incurred by Seller commencing on January 1, 1999, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller at the applicable Residence Closing for any and all such amounts as shall have been previously submitted to Purchaser pursuant to a budget and which Purchaser shall have approved in advance (provided, however, that with respect to any expenditures made in January, 1999, prior to submission or approval of such budget, Purchaser shall be obligated to reimburse Seller with respect to such items as shall be incurred by Seller in the ordinary course consistent with previous practices of Seller.) As used herein, "Pre-Opening Expenses" shall mean and include advertising costs, employee wages and benefits with respect pre-opening marketing activities, recruiting costs associated therewith, supplies and general administrative and similar expenses but shall not include any amounts with respect to the physical construction of the Construction Residence. C. Change Orders. In the event that following approval of any Construction Items as hereinafter set forth, Seller desires to make any changes with respect to such items, Seller shall seek Purchaser's approval thereof, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 24. TERMINATION. In the event that as of July 31, 1999, there is any Construction Residence as to which Seller and Purchaser shall not have consummated a Residence Closing, either Purchaser or Seller may thereafter terminate this Agreement with respect to such Construction Residence by delivery 37 43 of written notice of termination to the other party. No such termination shall affect either party's liability for any breach of this Agreement occurring prior to such termination. 25. GENERAL PROVISIONS. A. Agreement Binding; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon each party hereto and such party's successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of each party hereto and such party's successors and assigns. As used herein, all references to "Seller" shall mean individually each entity constituting a Seller hereunder and collectively all such entities, all of which shall be jointly and severally liable for the performance of all obligations of Seller hereunder. Any reference herein to any "Seller entity" (or words of similar import) are not intended to be in limitation of the foregoing definition but are included for clarity purposes only. In addition, the term is to in all instances to be broadly construed to include other affiliates of Seller (including without limitation subsidiaries, affiliates, employees and others) with respect to the making of any representations or warranties or the performance of Seller's covenants or the breadth of Seller's knowledge, it being the intent of the parties that the term in such context is to be broadly construed even though such broad definition would not by its terms apply to the joint and several aspects of this Agreement. Seller hereby expressly affirms its obligations to cause all such affiliates to so comply, Seller hereby expressly acknowledging that only Seller is in a position to best determine which of Seller's affiliates should be the party making such representation or warranty, performing such covenant or gathering such knowledge and the parties intend Purchaser should not be disadvantaged thereby. As used in this Agreement, Seller's "knowledge" shall mean the knowledge of all Employees of Seller who are responsible for the matter at issue. Purchaser may assign this Agreement and Purchaser's rights hereunder without the prior written consent of Seller to any affiliate of Purchaser or to a real estate investment trust or an affiliated lender to effect a sale/leaseback or other financing transaction, provided that no such assignment shall affect Purchaser's obligations hereunder. Purchaser may not otherwise assign its rights hereunder without Seller's prior written consent. A. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Addendum and all the Schedules referenced herein and annexed hereto contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the matters contained herein, and no prior agreement or understanding pertaining to any of the matters connected with this transaction shall be effective for any purpose. Except as may be otherwise provided herein, the agreements embodied herein may not be amended except by an agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto. B. Execution Necessary. This Agreement shall not be binding upon Seller or Purchaser until fully executed and delivered by representatives of Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, and no action taken by Seller's or Purchaser's representatives shall be deemed an acceptance of this Agreement until this Agreement has been so executed by Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, and delivered to the other party hereto. C. Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. 38 44 D. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. E. Interpretation; Date of Agreement. The titles, captions and Section headings are inserted for convenience only and are in no way intended to interpret, define, limit or expand the scope or content of this Agreement or any provision hereof. If any party to this Agreement is made up of more than one person or entity, then all such persons and entities shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder, even though the defined term for such party is used in the singular in this Agreement and in each instance in which a defined term for such party is used in the singular it shall mean, collectively, all persons and entities, jointly and severally, and each person or entity constituting a portion thereof, severably. If any time period under this Agreement ends on a day other than a Business Day (as hereinafter defined), then the time period shall be extended until the next business day. The term "Business Day" shall mean Monday through Friday excluding holidays recognized by the state government of the States of Ohio and Wisconsin. All references in this Agreement to "the date of this Agreement" shall be deemed to refer to the date set forth in the first Section hereof, which date evidences the effective date of the agreement of the parties as to the terms and conditions set forth herein, regardless of the date when this Agreement was actually executed by both parties. F. Waiver. Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, reserves the right to waive, in whole or in part, any provision hereof which is for the benefit of the party so waiving, including without limitation any condition precedent under Section 12 hereof. G. Facsimile Signature; Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signature and in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which, taken as a whole, shall be deemed to be one (1) original. This Agreement shall be deemed fully executed when each party whose signature is required has signed at least one (1) counterpart even though no one (1) counterpart contains the signatures of all of the parties to this Agreement. H. Non-Waiver. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, no waiver by Seller or Purchaser of any provision hereof shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by such party. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy accruing to Seller or Purchaser upon any breach under this Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver of any such breach theretofore or thereafter occurring. The waiver by Seller or Purchaser of any breach of any term, covenant or condition herein stated shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other breach, or of a subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained. I. Rights Cumulative. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 18 and 19 hereof, all rights, powers, options or remedies afforded to Seller or Purchaser either hereunder or by law shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise of one right, power, option or remedy shall not bar other rights, powers, options or remedies allowed herein or by law, unless expressly provided to the contrary herein. 39 45 J. Schedules. The exhibits referred to in and attached to this Agreement are incorporated herein in full by reference. K. Attorneys' Fees. If there is any legal action, arbitration or proceeding between Seller and Purchaser arising from or based on this Agreement or the interpretation or enforcement of any provisions hereof, then the unsuccessful party to such action, arbitration or proceeding shall pay to the prevailing party all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by such prevailing party in such action, arbitration or proceeding and in any appeal in connection therewith. If such prevailing party recovers a judgment in any such action, arbitration, proceeding or appeal, then such costs, expenses and attorneys' fees shall be included in and as a part of such judgment. 40 46 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have caused their duly authorized representatives to execute and deliver this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
