Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Clearday, Inc., formerly known as Superconductor Technologies Inc. (the “Company” or “Clearday”), through its subsidiaries, has entered into agreements it believes will enable the transition or sale of two of its residential care facilities. Such agreements reflect the Company’s  intention to expand its business in its innovative non-acute care solutions.

 

Simpsonville Management Agreement

 

On September 9, 2021, MCA Simpsonville Operating Company, LLC (“MCA”), a Clearday subsidiary, entered into an Operations Transfer, Interim Management and Security Agreement (the “Simpsonville Agreement”) with Brookstone Terrace of Simpsonville, LLC (“Brookstone”).

 

Clearday believes that the Simpsonville Agreement would facilitate a potential purchase by Brookstone or one of its affiliates of the Memory Care of Simpsonville residential care facility (the “Simpsonville Facility”) that is operated by MCA and located in Simpsonville, South Carolina, from MC-Simpsonville, SC-1-UT, LLC, the lessor of such facility (“Landlord”), a termination of the 2016 lease agreement of the Simpsonville Facility by MCA (as amended, the “Prime Lease”) and a resolution of the litigation between certain affiliates of the Company and the Landlord. However, there can be no assurance that such acquisition and termination of the Prime Lease will occur or that the Company will be able to resolve such litigation on terms and conditions that are favorable to the Company or any of its affiliates or at all.

 

Management. Under the Simpsonville Agreement, Brookstone provides certain management services regarding the Simpsonville Facility. This is the Company facility that is the subject to certain litigations (collectively, the “Simpsonville Litigation”) between certain affiliates of Clearday and the Landlord, which has been previously reported by the Company in its registration statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-256138) as amended and supplemented, which disclosures are incorporated by reference herein. The Landlord has consented to the terms and conditions of the Simpsonville Agreement. The term of the Simpsonville Agreement expires March 31, 2022 or, if earlier, the date that Brookstone obtains all of the consents, licenses and any other governmental approvals necessary to operate the Simpsonville Facility (the “Simpsonville Licenses”). Brookstone will apply for the Simpsonville Licenses as promptly as practicable (and in any event not later than September 15, 2021) and in good faith pursue such applications to obtain the Simpsonville Licenses as promptly as practicable. The services provided by Brookstone include substantially all of the management services required to operate the Simpsonville Facility, including personnel staffing and management, purchasing, food services, housekeeping, repairs, vendor management, billing and collections. The Simpsonville Agreement provides that MCA shall continue to have the ultimate control and decision making authority over the assets and operation of the Simpsonville Facility and that MCA will exercise such authority in a manner consistent with the Simpsonville Agreement.

 

Fee. Brookstone will be paid a fee that is equal to all of the revenues of the Simpsonville Facility during the term of the Simpsonville Agreement, less the payment of specified expenses (“Cost of Operation”) that include: employee costs, insurance costs, marketing commissions, and all other costs and expenses incurred in the operation of the Simpsonville Facility.

 

Continuing Expense Payment Obligations of MCA. The Simpsonville Agreement provides that the Cost of Operation of the Simpsonville Facility will be paid from the revenues of the Simpsonville Facility. To the extent that during the first four months of the term of the Simpsonville Agreement such revenues are not sufficient to pay the Cost of Operation that are stated in a budget approved by MCA and Brookstone (the “Simpsonville Budget”) in full, then MCA shall pay such shortfall. After the initial four month term, Brookstone shall cover any such shortfalls, except for expenditures required as the result of a change in law or in order to remain in compliance with applicable law (other than for Brookstone’s intended change of the use of the Facility). The Simpsonville Agreement provides for the priority of the payment of the Cost of Operation, generally providing that employee related expenses are paid, then marketing commissions, then the other operating costs and expenses and then the fee payable to Brookstone. However, in no event is Brookstone responsible for using Brookstone’s own funds in order to pay obligations of MCA incurred prior to the end of the fourth month of the term of the Simpsonville Agreement, all of which shall be payable by MCA on demand to the extent that Facility revenues during such four months are insufficient to pay all such costs and expenses. The Simpsonville Agreement provides that Brookstone shall utilize its good faith efforts to maintain or increase the resident census during the term of the Simpsonville Agreement, which will increase revenues of the Simpsonville Facility and provide funds for the payment of the Cost of Operation.

 

Security Interest. MCA has granted to Brookstone a perfected security interest in the collateral specified in the Simpsonville Agreement to secure certain of MCA’s obligations under the Simpsonville Agreement including the payment of the management fee to Brookstone and MCA’s indemnification of Brookstone. Such collateral, generally, includes all of MCA’s assets including accounts, contracts, rights, contract rights, payment intangibles, letter of credit rights, documents, instruments, chattel paper, deposit accounts and general intangibles evidencing securing or in any way related to such accounts (including healthcare insurance receivables), including all rights of enforcement and collection (to the extent permitted by law) and all accessions to, substitutions for and all replacements and products thereof, all books, records and other information in any way related thereto and all collections, receipts and proceeds (cash and non-cash) derived therefrom (the “Simpsonville Collateral”).

Transition of Employees and Vendors. Under the terms of the Simpsonville Agreement, effective October 1, 2021, all of the personnel employed by MCA at the Simpsonville Facility will transition to, and become, employees of Brookstone and MCA will terminate all other agreements unless otherwise requested by Brookstone, no later than 4th month of the term of the Simpsonville Agreement so that Brookstone can replace vendors to the Simpsonville Facility.

 

Indemnification. MCA has agreed to indemnify, reimburse, defend and hold harmless Brookstone from and against all demands, claims, actions or causes of action, assessments, loss, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, interest, penalties, consequential damages, reasonable attorneys’ fees, disbursement and expenses, and reasonable consultants’ fees, disbursements and expenses (“Indemnified Losses”), but excluding internal overhead, administrative and similar costs of Brookstone, directly or indirectly arising from (i) MCA’s negligence or willful misconduct in the exercise of its authority retained under the Simpsonville Agreement or (ii) all liabilities of MCA as of the date of the Simpsonville Agreement (including without limitation, resident care lawsuits, and/or reimbursement paybacks and/or cost settlements).

 

Brookstone has agreed to indemnify, reimburse, defend, and hold harmless MCA from and against all Indemnified Losses, but excluding internal overhead, administrative and similar costs of MCA, that are, directly or indirectly, in connection with any of the following occurring either during the term of the Simpsonville Agreement or during Brookstone’s operation of the Simpsonville Facility following issuance of the Simpsonville Licenses: (a) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring on or about the Simpsonville Facility, including any claims of malpractice, (b) any use, misuse, nonuse, condition, maintenance or repair by Brookstone, (c) any ad valorem, employee withholding or sales taxes, and (d) any failure on the part of Brookstone to perform or comply with any of the terms of the Simpsonville Agreement, except to the extent same are directly caused by MCA’s negligence or willful misconduct.

 

Certain Other Provisions. The Simpsonville Agreement provides for customary representations and warranties and other provisions.

 

Sublease and Brookstone Purchase Right. If and at such time that Brookstone obtains the Simpsonville Licenses, then MCA will sublease the Simpsonville Facility to Brookstone under the terms of the sublease (the “Simpsonville Sublease”) substantially in the form attached as an exhibit to the Simpsonville Agreement. The Simpsonville Sublease provides for the transfer of substantially all of MCA’s rights to lease the Simpsonville Facility under the terms of the Prime Lease during the term of the Simpsonville Sublease. The Simpsonville Sublease term is six months from the date that Brookstone acquires the Simpsonville Licenses. Brookstone will pay a nominal rent to MCA and pay all of the taxes (including sales taxes) and assessments and all other governmental charges, general and special, ordinary and extraordinary, applicable to the Simpsonville Sublease term, which are imposed or levied upon or assessed against the Simpsonville Facility or any part thereof, free of any charges, assessments, or taxes of any kind charged, assessed or imposed on or against the Simpsonville Facility. Additionally, as subtenant, Brookstone will operate the Simpsonville Facility and be responsible for all operating expense other than to the extent of the rent and related obligations under the Prime Lease that are not paid by Brookstone under the Simpsonville Sublease (for example, MCA will continue to be responsible for the cash base rent under the Prime Lease). The Simpsonville Sublease provides other customary provisions including provisions regarding compliance with laws by Brookstone, subordination of the terms of the Simpsonville Sublease to the terms of the Prime Lease, exculpation and indemnification including with respect to environmental claims, that Brookstone will not create, assume or suffer liens and encumbrances on the Simpsonville Facility, maintenance, repairs and upkeep of the Simpsonville Facility, inspection rights of MCA, no alterations of the Simpsonville Facility, maintenance by Brookstone at its expense of full replacement value property insurance and other specified insurance policies, each with agreed limits and coverages, the effects of damage or casualty of the Simpsonville Facility, eminent domain and condemnation proceedings, subletting and assignment, indemnification, representations and warranties.

The Simpsonville Sublease refers to an agreement for the acquisition of the Simpsonville Facility by Brookstone from the Landlord. The Company does not have a copy of such agreement and MCA is not a beneficiary of such contract. The Simpsonville Sublease provides that if Brookstone acquires the fee interest in the Simpsonville Facility, then MCA’s rights under the Prime Lease will terminate; provided, that such termination will not release MCA from the obligations under the Prime Lease prior to such termination.

 

In the event that Brookstone does not acquire the Simpsonville Facility from the Landlord, then at the expiration of the Simpsonville Sublease, MCA will reacquire the right to the Simpsonville Facility and may cause Brookstone to vacate all management right or assign the management rights to MCA or its designee.

 

Clearday believes that the Simpsonville Agreement and related sublease would facilitate a transfer of the ownership and management of the Simpsonville Facility and the termination of MCA’s obligations under the Prime Lease accruing after the date of such acquisition. However, there cannot be any assurance that any such acquisition of the Simpsonville Facility or termination of the Prime Lease will occur. Clearday believes that the Simpsonville Agreement and related sublease will also assist Clearday in negotiating with the Landlord a resolution of the Simpsonville Litigation. Clearday is continuing its discussions for a settlement of the Simpsonville Litigation with the Landlord and, in connection with such discussions, is considering all of its strategic options. There cannot be any assurance that any such settlement will occur on acceptable terms or at all.

 

The foregoing description of the Simpsonville Agreement and the Simpsonville Sublease is a summary only, is not intended to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Simpsonville Agreement and the form of the Simpsonville Sublease attached to the Simpsonville Agreement, which Simpsonville Agreement (and such exhibit) is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Naples Agreement

 

On September 9, 2021, MCA Naples LLC (“Naples”), a Clearday subsidiary, and Naples Property Ventures, LLC (“Buyer”) entered into a Contract for Sale and Purchase (the “Naples Agreement”) regarding the sale by Naples to the Buyer of the land and all assets regarding the operation of the Company’s Memory Care of Naples residential care facility located in Naples, Florida (the “Naples Facility”). The gross purchase price is $7 million and is subject to customary prorations. The sale proceeds will be used to retire existing debt with respect to the Naples Facility and pay sales costs and related commissions. The net proceeds are expected to be approximately $1.5 million. The Buyer has deposited $100,000 as a purchase deposit that is refundable until the expiration of the 30 day inspection period that commences after all of the schedules required to be delivered by Naples to Buyer have been so delivered, which is expected to be on or prior to September 16, 2021.

Any amount paid or deposited by Landlord for any of the aforesaid purposes, and all reasonable legal and other expenses of Landlord, at the option of Landlord, shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) days of written notice from Landlord.

9. Maintenance, Repairs and Replacements.

 

(a) All maintenance, repair, upkeep, replacement, cleaning, and renovating, including the maintenance and upkeep of the exterior of the Premises, and all related matters of any nature whatsoever, structural or non-structural, whether or not the same results from ordinary wear and tear, necessary to keep the Premises and related personal property and inventory in good order and condition, or to restore the Premises to such condition and to keep the Premises in compliance with all governmental or regulatory rules and regulations now existing or hereafter adopted, shall be made by Tenant at Tenant’s sole expense. Tenant shall make all repairs and/or restorations occasioned by damage to the Premises, and Tenant’s obligations shall be without regard to the cause of the damage or condition being repaired except to the extent that such damage arises from any gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, or any of Landlord’s agents, contractors or employees, in which case, except as is otherwise covered by any insurance policy covering the Premises, Landlord shall repair such damage at Landlord’s sole expense. All such repairs and/or restorations shall be of a quality and class at least equal to the work or installation on the Commencement Date or as otherwise required by applicable law. Tenant shall obtain all permits and licenses required in connection with such repairs and/or restoration; and, Tenant shall obtain additional insurance coverage reasonably satisfactory to Landlord during such construction period, which insurance policy shall name Landlord and if applicable, Lender, as additional insureds.

 

(b) Landlord and Fee Owner shall have the right to enter upon the Premises at all reasonable times upon reasonable advanced notice for the purpose of inspection of same. If Fee Owner reasonably determines that any repairs are necessary, Fee Owner may demand in writing that Tenant make the same forthwith as provided herein, and if Tenant refuses or neglects to commence such repairs within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s receipt of such written demand or fails to complete the same with reasonable dispatch, Landlord may make or cause such repairs to be made in a manner reasonably designed to avoid interference with the business of Tenant, in which event Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for any loss or damage that may accrue to Tenant’s business by reason thereof; and provided further, that, in the event that Fee Owner reasonably concludes that the safety of the Facility’s residents is endangered or that any license relating to the Facility could be revoked or impaired and that, therefore, such repairs must be sooner commenced and that waiting for such thirty (30) day notice period might threaten the well-being of the persons located in the Premises or any such license, Tenant shall accordingly commence and complete such repairs. If Landlord makes or causes such repairs to be made, the cost thereof paid by Landlord shall be payable by Tenant. If Tenant makes or causes such repairs to be made and such repairs are subsequently determined to have been unnecessary by a court of competent jurisdiction, Landlord promptly shall reimburse Tenant for the costs incurred by Tenant in connection therewith, including reasonable attorney’s fees. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as imposing any obligation on Landlord to make any such repairs.

 

18
 

 

10. Alterations and Additions.

 

(a) Tenant may at any time and from time to time during the Term, at Tenant’s own cost and expense, make or permit to be made desired alterations, additions, renovations or improvements of, in or to the Premises or any building located thereon or any part thereof; provided, with respect to any structural alterations or renovations, the prior written consent of Fee Owner is first obtained.

 

(b) All alterations, changes, additions and modifications to the Premises when made, erected, constructed, installed or placed upon the Premises, and all machinery, apparatus, equipment, floor coverings and fixtures originally installed or as replaced, including without limitation all heating, lighting, and power equipment, pipes, pumps, tanks, conduits, plumbing, air-cooling and air-conditioning apparatus, attached cabinets, ducts and compressors, are now and shall immediately be and become part of the Premises when installed or otherwise placed within the Facility and shall be the sole and absolute property of Fee Owner, without cost or charge to Landlord, and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises at the expiration of the Term or sooner termination of this Lease for any reason including, without limitation, an Event of Default and termination of this Lease by Landlord. Tenant agrees, at the termination of the Lease by expiration of the Term or otherwise, to deliver to Landlord possession of the Premises including all Leased Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment and Tenant shall have no right to remove the Leased Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment upon the expiration of the Term or to compensation or payment in respect thereof. Tenant, however, shall have the right to remove its computers, software, confidential information or proprietary manuals and any leased equipment where Landlord has not assumed the lease(s); provided, however, that any (i) furniture, fixtures or equipment purchased or leased by Tenant in replacement of Leased Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment owned by Landlord and leased to Tenant hereunder, shall remain on the Premises following the termination of the Lease and shall remain the separate property of Landlord and Tenant shall pay at the end of the Term all sums required to discharge the rights of any other person in such property.

 

(c) Any unattached machinery, equipment or furniture purchased by or installed by Tenant in the Premises (except in replacement of any Leased Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment) and used in connection with Tenant’s business operations, and Tenant’s trade fixtures, may be removed by Tenant at any time at or prior to the expiration of the Term, but such removal shall be subject to the provisions of subsection (d) below.

 

(d) Tenant does hereby covenant and agree, at its own cost and expense, in a good and workmanlike manner, to repair and replace any damage caused by the removal aforesaid of any of such unattached machinery, equipment, furniture, or trade fixtures whose removal is authorized hereinabove.

 

19
 

 

11. Insurance.

 

(a) Tenant, at Tenant’s cost and expense, shall procure and at all times keep in full force and effect in responsible companies licensed in the State of South Carolina, and acceptable to Landlord and Lender, the following insurance coverage (naming Landlord and any Lender as additional insureds):

 

(i) An “All Risk” property insurance policy which, in Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction, shall insure the Premises, whether owned by Landlord or Tenant, at the full replacement value thereof. Without intending hereby to limit the generality of the foregoing, Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to Tenant, or anyone claiming under or through Tenant, or otherwise, whether caused by or resulting from a peril required to be insured hereunder or from water, steam, gas, leakage, plumbing, electric or electrical apparatus, pipe or apparatus, of any kind, the elements or other similar or dissimilar causes, whether or not originating in the Premises or elsewhere. The term “full replacement value,” as used in this Section 13, shall mean actual replacement cost (exclusive of Land, any cost of excavations, foundations and footings below the lowest basement floor, or foundations and footings below the surface of the ground, where a basement does not exist);

 

(ii) Professional liability insurance in at least the amount of One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence and Three Million and 00/100 Dollars ($3,000,000.00) aggregate, which shall include “occurrence” coverage insuring Landlord and Tenant for acts occurring during the Term;

 

(iii) Insurance with respect to the Premises and inventory against any peril included within the classification “All Risks of Physical Loss” with extended coverage in amounts at all times sufficient to prevent Landlord or Tenant from becoming a co-insurer within the terms of the applicable policies, but in any event such insurance shall be maintained in an amount equal to the full insurable value of the Facility and Leased Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment and inventory located on the Facility, the term “full insurable value” to mean the actual replacement cost (without taking into account any depreciation, and exclusive of excavations, footings and foundations, landscaping and paving) determined annually by an insurer or by Landlord and Tenant or, at the request of the Lender, by an independent insurance broker (subject to the Lender’s and Tenant’ reasonable approval);

 

(iv) Comprehensive general liability insurance, including bodily injury, death and property damage liability, and umbrella liability insurance against any and all claims, including all legal liability to the extent insurable imposed upon Tenant or Landlord and all court costs and attorneys’ fees and expenses, arising out of or connected with the possession, use, leasing, operation, maintenance or condition of the Facility in such amounts as are generally required by institutional lenders for properties comparable to the Facility but in no event with limits of less than Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) per occurrence with combined single limit coverage for bodily injury or property damage and Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) aggregate; and

 

20
 

 

(v) Statutory workers’ compensation insurance (to the extent the risks to be covered thereby are not already covered by other policies of insurance maintained by Landlord or Tenant), with respect to any work on or about the Facility.

 

(b) Landlord and Tenant agree that if the Premises or any furniture, fixtures, machinery, equipment or other personal property located therein are damaged or destroyed by fire or other insured casualty, the rights, if any, of either party against the other with respect to such damage or destruction are hereby waived if and to the extent permitted by any applicable insurance policies. The parties agree to use their best efforts to insure that the policies of insurance obtained by them permit such waivers of subrogation and shall furnish evidence of such, each to the other.

 

(c) All certificates with respect to the policies of insurance referred to in this Section 11 shall be delivered by Tenant to Landlord annually, and such policies shall provide for sixty (60) days’ cancellation notice if obtainable without additional cost (and, if not so obtainable, such policies shall provide for a thirty (30) days’ cancellation notice) to Landlord in the event of non-payment of premiums or in the event of other proposed cancellation. Tenant shall provide to Landlord copies of such insurance policies upon the request of Landlord.

 

(d) Tenant shall not do or permit to be done any act or thing upon the Premises which will invalidate or be in conflict with any fire, hazard or other insurance policies covering the Premises, and shall not do or permit to be done any act or thing upon the Premises which shall or might subject Landlord to any liability or responsibility for injury to any person or to property by reason of any business or operation being carried on or in the Premises or for any other reason.

 

(e) In the event that Tenant fails to obtain and maintain insurance as provided in this Lease, Landlord may affect any such insurance coverage and pay premiums therefor, and all premiums so paid by Landlord shall be deemed additional Rent hereunder and payable by Tenant to Landlord upon the next due date of Rent hereunder and in accordance with the provisions of this Lease.

 

(f) All policies of insurance required under this Section 11 shall also be payable, under the New York type Standard Mortgagee clause, without contribution, if obtainable without additional cost to Tenant, to Landlord, as its interests may appear; provided, however, that Landlord, subject to the provisions of any mortgage or deed or trust encumbering the Premises, shall be required, to the extent it receives such proceeds, to apply the proceeds for the reconstruction of the Premises pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, or, in the case of any Lender, for either the reconstruction of the Premises or the retirement of all or any portion of the outstanding principal and/or interest due to such Lender. In the event such proceeds are applied by any Lender for retirement of the outstanding principal and/or interest under any loan secured by a lien on the Premises and not to reconstruct such Facility, Tenant, upon payment of any outstanding obligations hereunder, shall have the right to terminate this Lease.

 

21
 

 

12. Damage or Destruction. If, during the Term, the Premises or any part thereof shall be destroyed or damaged in whole or in part by fire or other hazard, risk, contingency or casualty, whether or not covered by insurance pursuant to Section 11 hereof and the cost to repair such damage exceeds the sum of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($250,000.00), either party may terminate this Lease by written notice to the other (provided, Tenant’s purchase option set forth in Section 34 shall continue for ninety (90) days after such termination) and in such event, all insurance proceeds shall be paid to Landlord. In all other events, Tenant, utilizing proceeds from such insurance policy, shall repair and restore the Facility.

 

13. Eminent Domain; Condemnation. If the whole or any material portion of the Premises shall be acquired or condemned by eminent domain or by deed in lieu thereof, then the Lease shall cease and terminate from the date of title vesting in such proceeding. The proceeds of such award shall be payable to Landlord and Tenant shall have no interest therein. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit Tenant’s right to recover a separate award for damage to its business, to the extent permitted by law, to the extent such separate award does not reduce the award payable to Landlord. In all other events, the Lease shall remain in effect and Landlord, at its own cost and expense, shall with all reasonable dispatch restore the untaken portion of the Facility so that the Premises shall constitute a complete architectural unit of the same general character and condition (as nearly as may be possible under the circumstances) as existed immediately prior to such condemnation or taking.

 

14. Assignment and Subletting. Tenant covenants that it shall not assign, encumber, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer or convey this Lease or any of Tenant’s rights hereunder, nor sublet the Premises (in whole or in part), or suffer or permit the Premises or any part thereof to be used by others, without the prior written consent of Landlord (which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion). If Landlord consents to any assignment, encumbering, pledge, transfer, conveyance.

 

15. Default. Each of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Lease:

 

(a) Tenant shall breach any term, covenant, condition or agreement (other than those listed in this Section 15) contained in this Lease or shall fail to perform any obligation herein set forth to be performed by Tenant, and if such breach or failure to perform shall continue and not be remedied by Tenant within thirty (30) days after written notice, or, in the case of a happening or default, which cannot with due diligence be cured within thirty (30) days and the continuance will not subject Landlord to the risk of criminal liability or foreclosure of any mortgage or deed of trust, then be diligently and continuously prosecuted to completion of the required remedy; or

 

(b) Tenant shall allow the Premises to become subject to mechanic’s, materialman’s or other lien, except a lien for ad valorem taxes not past due, as a result of Tenant’ failure to pay for work or supplies performed or supplied at its request or in the fulfillment of Landlord’s obligations hereunder and assessments not then due and payable, and failure of Tenant to remove, bond-off or discharge such lien within thirty (30) days after notice thereof is received by Tenant, Landlord or Lender; or

 

22
 

 

(c) Tenant shall fail to correct, within the time deadlines set by any regulatory or licensing agency or governmental authority, any deficiency that: (i) authorizes such agency to order an immediate termination of the Facility’s health care license; or (ii) results in a ban on new admissions; or

 

(d) Tenant shall abandon the Premises; or

 

(e) Tenant shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or under any state insolvency laws.

 

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, then and in any such event (regardless of the pendency of any proceeding which has, or might have, the effect of preventing Tenant from complying with the terms of this Lease), Landlord, at any time thereafter, and with or without terminating the Lease (except as to subsection (v) below), may:

 

(i) Terminate this Lease and this Lease shall be deemed to have been terminated upon receipt by Tenant of written notice of such termination, and upon such termination Landlord shall have and recover from Tenant all damages Landlord may suffer by reason of such termination, including, without limitation, the cost (including legal expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees) of recovering possession of the Premises and the cost of any repairs to the Premises which are necessary or proper to prepare the same for reletting. In addition thereto, Landlord, at its election, shall have and recover from Tenant an amount equal to the net present value of the excess, if any, of the total amount of all Rent and other sums to be paid by Tenant for the remainder of the Term over the then reasonable rental value of the Premises for the remainder of the Term; and

 

(ii) Pursue all other rights and remedies provided by law, or in equity, including, without limitation, the appointment of a receiver and specific performance.

 

All of the rights and remedies conferred upon Landlord by the terms of this Section 15 are cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy, and may be exercised singly or in combination at Landlord’s sole election. No waiver by Landlord of any covenant or condition shall be deemed to imply or constitute a further waiver of the same, or a different, covenant or condition at a later time. No re-entry or taking of possession by Landlord shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such election to terminate is delivered to Tenant. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Tenant waives any obligation of Landlord to mitigate its damages following an Event of Default.

 

16. Representations and Warranties.

 

(a) Landlord’s Representations and Warranties. Landlord represents and warrants that:

OPERATIONS TRANSFER AGREEMENT

 

This Interim Management and Operations Transfer Agreement (this “Agreement”) made as of ________ __, 20__, by and between BROOKSTONE TERRACE OF SIMPSONVILLE, LLC, a South Carolina limited liability company (“Assignor”) and , a (“Assignee”).

 

R E C I T A L S:

 

A. Assignor is the lessee and operator of the assisted living facility listed on Exhibit A (the “Facility”) pursuant to a Sublease Agreement dated as of _________, 202_ (the “Lease”) with MCA SIMPSONVILLE OPERATING COMPANY, LLC (“Landlord”). Assignee has filed application to become the licensed operator of the Facility, and is undertaking to obtain all of the consents, licenses and any other governmental approvals necessary to operate the Facility (the “Licenses”), but as of the date hereof, not all of such consents, licenses or other approvals have been obtained.

 

B. Assignor’s leasehold interest in the Facility will terminate as of the date that Assignee obtains all necessary licenses and permits to operate the Facility, all on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

C. Assignor desires that prior to Assignee obtaining the Licenses, Assignee provide the management of the Facility, and Assignee desires to provide such management, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

 

D. Assignor and Assignee further desire to provide for the orderly transfer of the operation of the Facility to Assignee, effective upon Assignee obtaining the Licenses.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual premises herein contained, the sum of Ten and 00/100 Dollars ($10.00) and other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Assignor and Assignee agree as follows:

 

1. Cooperation to Commencement Operations. Assignor agrees to cooperate with Assignee, and Assignee agrees to cooperate with Assignor to effect an orderly transfer of the management of the Facility. Assignor shall cease operation of the Facility as of the date Assignee obtains the Licenses (the “Turnover Date”). All operations of the Facility shall be undertaken solely by Assignee after the Turnover Date and Assignor shall surrender operation of the Facility as of the Turnover Date.

 

2. Conveyance of Supplies and Tradenames. Assignor hereby agrees to transfer and convey to Assignee as of the Turnover Date all of its right, title and interest in and to the food, central supplies, linens and housekeeping supplies and other consumable and non-consumable inventory (“Supplies”) present at the Facility as of the Turnover Date as well as the Facility’s tradenames, phone numbers, yellow page listings and other intangibles.

3. Equipment Lease. On or before _____________, Assignor will provide Assignee with a list of all of its equipment leases (including any computer leases and/or software leases and licenses) (the “Equipment Leases”) with respect to the Facility. On or before ________________, Assignee will provide Assignor with a list of such Equipment Leases it desires to assume, which equipment leases, provided (a) such assumption is approved by the lessor thereon and (b) any personal guaranty of Assignor’s obligation thereof is released, shall be assumed by Assignee on the Turnover Date (such equipment leases so assumed, the “Assumed Leases”). Assignee shall indemnify and hold Assignor harmless with respect to all such Assumed Leases. Any equipment lease not assumed by Assignee shall be terminated by Assignor at its sole expense.

 

4. Equipment. Assignor, in consideration of the release of even date from Landlord, agrees to transfer on the Turnover Date, title to the Facility’s van; provided Assignee shall assume any loan secured by such van; provided, further Assignor shall be obligated to cure any default. Assignor further acknowledges that all fixtures, furnishings, equipment, computers, vehicles, computer software and other tangible personal property owned by Assignor and located at the Facility (the “Equipment”) are owned by the fee owner of the Facility and that Assignor has no ownership interest therein; provided, to the extent Assignor has any ownership interest in the Equipment, Assignor shall deliver on the Commencement Date a non-warranty bill of sale reasonably acceptable to Assignor. To the extent that the Equipment, including the van or any other vehicle is subject, to any lien, Assignee shall have the right to assume such loan (provided, any personal guaranty thereof is released or terminated).

 

5. Transfer of Patient Trust Funds.

 

(a) Assignor and Assignee shall work together to produce, within five (5) days of the Turnover Date, (a) an accounting of all resident trust funds (the “Resident Trust Funds”) as of the Turnover Date, (b) an inventory of all residents’ property held by the Facility (the “Resident Property”), and (c) a listing of all fees and expenses which have been prepaid by residents and have not been applied as of the Turnover Date (the “Resident Prepaid Funds”). Such accounting shall set forth the names of the residents or prospective residents for whom such funds are held, and the amounts held, including any interest accruing thereon, on behalf of each resident or prospective resident.

3. Purchase Price and Manner of Payment.

 

3.1 Purchase Price; Closing Date. The purchase price to be paid to Seller by Buyer for the Purchased Assets (“Purchase Price”) shall be SEVEN MILLION AND 00/100 U.S. DOLLARS ($7,000,000.00). The Purchase Price, less the Escrow Amount as set forth in Section 3.2, less any portion of the Deposit held in cash, plus or minus any prorations and other adjustments as provided for hereinafter, shall be “paid by Buyer” (as hereinafter defined) before 1:00 P.M. (local time in Collier County, Florida) on the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined in Section 9.1). As used herein, the terms “paid by Buyer,” shall mean payment by electronic wire transfer of immediately available funds or in an equivalent manner. Such funds shall be deemed to be “paid by Buyer” at the point in time when the bank to which the funds are sent receives such funds, as confirmed by such bank.

 

3.2 Escrow Amount. At the Closing, Buyer shall deposit an amount equal to Three Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($300,000.00) (the “Escrow Amount”) with the Escrow Agent (as defined below). The Escrow Amount shall be held in escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Escrow Agreement”) to secure the performance of Seller’s obligations as set forth in this Contract.

 

3.3 Allocation Schedule. Seller and Buyer agree that the Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities (plus other relevant items) shall be allocated among the Purchased Assets for all purposes (including tax and financial accounting) as shown on the allocation schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”). A draft of the Allocation Schedule shall be prepared by Buyer and delivered to Seller within ten (10) business days following the Effective Date. If Seller notifies Buyer in writing that Seller objects to one or more items reflected in the Allocation Schedule, Seller and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute prior to the Closing Date. Buyer and Seller shall file all tax returns (including amended returns and claims for refund) and information reports in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule.

 

3.4 Withholding Tax. Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Purchase Price all taxes that Buyer may be required to deduct and withhold under any provision of applicable income tax law, including FIRPTA. All such withheld amounts shall be treated as delivered to Seller hereunder.

 

3.5 Third Party Consents. To the extent that Seller’s rights under any Assumed Contract or any other Purchased Asset, may not be assigned to Buyer without the consent of another Person which has not been obtained, this Contract shall not constitute an agreement to assign the same if an attempted assignment would constitute a breach thereof or be unlawful, and Seller, at its expense, shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain any such required consent(s) as promptly as possible. If any such consent shall not be obtained or if any attempted assignment would be ineffective or would impair Buyer’s rights under the Purchased Asset in question so that Buyer would not in effect acquire the benefit of all such rights, Seller, to the maximum extent permitted by law and the Purchased Asset, shall act after the Closing as Buyer’s agent in order to obtain for it the benefits thereunder and shall cooperate, to the maximum extent permitted by law and the Purchased Asset, with Buyer in any other reasonable arrangement designed to provide such benefits to Buyer.

4. Deposit.

 

4.1 On the later of (i) the date that is two (2) business days after the Effective Date or (ii) the date on which all of the schedules to this Agreement are delivered to the Buyer pursuant to Section 6.1, Buyer shall deposit with Shutts & Bowen LLP, as escrow agent (“Escrow Agent”), the sum of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($100,000.00) (the “Deposit”), by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds, to serve as a deposit with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the event of a default by Seller hereunder, unless this Contract is terminated on or prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, the Deposit shall be nonrefundable to Buyer following the expiration of the Inspection Period. The Deposit shall be held and disbursed by Escrow Agent in accordance with this Contract.

 

4.2 By its execution of a counterpart to this Contract, the Escrow Agent accepts its designation as the escrow agent with respect to the Deposit, acknowledges receipt of the Deposit, subject to collection, and agrees to hold, invest and disburse the same as herein provided. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any acts taken in good faith, shall only be liable for its willful default or action, or gross negligence, and may, in its sole discretion, rely in good faith upon the written notices, communications, orders or instructions given by any party hereto; provided, however, that if any notice or correspondence is not executed by both Buyer and Seller, the Escrow Agent shall give to Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, copies of any notice or correspondence received from the other and shall not take any actions with regard thereto for seven (7) days following the giving of such notice.

 

4.3 In the event of a disagreement between Seller and Buyer as to the proper disbursement of the Deposit, the Escrow Agent reserves the right to deposit said funds into the Registry of the Clerk of Court of Collier County, Florida (the “Court Registry”), by filing an interpleader action and Escrow Agent shall thereupon be discharged from the liability hereunder and shall be entitled to reimbursement from Seller and Buyer for all attorney’s fees incurred and court costs expended in connection therewith. Seller and Buyer hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Escrow Agent against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses which may be incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection with its acceptance of this appointment or the performance of its duties hereunder; provided, however, that if the Escrow Agent shall be found guilty of willful default or action, or gross negligence, then, in such event, the Escrow Agent shall bear all such losses, claims, damages and expenses. In the event the Escrow Agent places the Deposit in the Court Registry, upon the delivery of same to the prevailing party, whether by court order or otherwise, the non-prevailing party shall (1) pay to the prevailing party at the time of such delivery, interest on said monies at the publicly announced prime rate, as such rate may change from time to time, said interest to run from the date of deposit into the Court Registry until delivery of same to the prevailing party, and (2) notwithstanding any contrary provision contained herein, pay to the Escrow Agent all monies necessary to reimburse the Escrow Agent for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection with its appointment as the Escrow Agent or the performance of its duties hereunder.

 

4.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, Seller acknowledges that Shutts & Bowen LLP is acting as Escrow Agent hereunder as well as representing Buyer as its attorney in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder. Seller further acknowledges and agrees that Shutts & Bowen LLP may represent Buyer, as Buyer’s counsel in any action, suit or other proceeding between Seller and Buyer or in which Seller and Buyer may be involved.

If, after ten (10) days from Seller’s receipt of Buyer’s Notification, Seller fails or is unable to cure or remove any Title Defects, Buyer, at Buyer’s sole option may:

 

5.2.1 Accept title to the Property in its then existing condition; or

 

5.2.2 Terminate this Contract by written notice to Seller, at which time the Contract will be null and void and the parties hereto will have no further rights or obligations hereunder as to any part of the Property, except for those obligations which specifically survive termination hereunder. Upon such termination and release of rights and obligations, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer.

 

7
 

 

5.3 Survey. Within three (3) days after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer any surveys, plat plans, site plans and supporting documentation for same which may be in Seller’s possession or control.

In addition, if Buyer fails to deliver an Approval Notice (as defined below) to Seller prior to expiration of the Inspection Period, then it shall be presumed conclusively that Buyer is not satisfied with its investigation. Upon Seller’s receipt of a Termination Notice or failure to timely receive an Approval Notice, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and thereafter this Contract shall be deemed terminated and of no further force and effect and both parties shall be released and relieved of any liability or obligations hereunder, except for those that specifically survive termination hereof.

Unless Buyer expressly agrees otherwise, Buyer shall have no liability for any financial obligation to Seller’s employees accrued during their employment with Seller, including employee wages, so-called “severance pay,” accrued vacation benefits for periods of service, or other payments to any of Seller’s employees.

Within five (5) business days after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a list of the names of all persons who are employed by or on behalf of Seller (the “Facility Employees”), and who are hired as independent contractors and used by the Seller at the Facility (the “Independent Contractors”) setting forth (i) their job titles and descriptions; (ii) their compensation rates; (iii) their employment or contract dates; (iv) whether they are employed or engaged on a full-time or part-time basis and, in the case of part-time employees or independent contractors, the number of hours per week for which they are employed or engaged; (v) the name of the specific entity that employs each of the Facility Employees or contracts with each of the Independent Contractors; and (vi) whether any such employee is on probation, restriction, or subject to other disciplinary action.

Any offers of employment will be contingent on such Offeree Employees or Independent Contractors satisfying Buyer’s qualifications and conditions for employment, including appropriate licensure, background screening, and drug tests.

 

13.4 Employee Transition. At such time or times as are reasonably requested by Buyer (to the extent it doesn’t disrupt the Seller’s operation of the Facility) following the initial meetings with the Offeree Employees and Offeree Independent Contractors described in Section 13.3 above, Seller shall permit Buyer to conduct one or more meetings for Offeree Employees in order to provide details on proposed compensation and other conditions of employment with Buyer. Seller shall use reasonable efforts to assist Buyer in employing and retaining the Offeree Employees as of the Closing Date.

Seller shall terminate the employment of the Transferred Employees, such termination to be effective as of the Closing. Seller shall be responsible for providing all notices to Facility Employees that may be required by law in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Contract, including the termination or change of employment of any Facility Employees.

On or before the Closing Date, Seller shall provide Buyer a schedule listing all accrued vacation, holiday, and sick-pay days and other accrued paid time off (“PTO”) and other benefits to which each Transferred Employee is entitled as of the Closing Date, calculated on a true accrual basis (to include both earned and unearned benefits). Seller shall be solely responsible for PTO and other benefits to which each Transferred Employee would otherwise be entitled had they remained employed by Seller. Buyer shall assume no liability, obligation, or responsibility for any PTO or other employee benefits accrued on or before the Closing Date, and Buyer shall have no obligation to credit any Transferred Employees for any period of service prior to the Closing Date for purposes of calculating any entitlement to PTO or other employee benefits after the Closing.

16.1.1 Minor Damage. In the event of loss or damage to the Purchased Assets or any portion thereof (the “premises in question”) which is not “major” (as hereinafter defined), this Contract shall remain in full force and effect provided Seller performs any necessary repairs or, at Seller’s option, reduces the cash portion of the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the cost of such repairs, Seller thereby retaining all of Seller’s right, title and interest to any claims and proceeds Seller may have with respect to any casualty insurance policies or condemnation awards relating to the premises in question. In the event that Seller elects to perform repairs upon the Purchased Assets, Seller shall use reasonable efforts to complete such repairs promptly and the date of Closing shall be extended a reasonable time in order to allow for the completion of such repairs.

 

16.1.2 Major Damage. In the event of a “major” loss or damage, either Seller or Buyer may terminate this Contract by written notice to the other party, in which event the Deposit shall be immediately returned to Buyer. If neither Seller nor Buyer elects to terminate this Contract within ten (10) days after Seller sends Buyer written notice of the occurrence of major loss or damage, then Seller and Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to proceed with Closing, in which event Buyer shall, at Buyer’s option, either (a) receive an assignment of all of Seller’s right, title and interest to any claims and proceeds Seller may have with respect to any casualty insurance policies or condemnation awards relating to the premises in question and credit Buyer at Closing plus the amount of any deductible under such casualty insurance policies or (b) Buyer may elect to terminate this Contract, receive a refund of the Deposit and neither party shall have any further obligations under this Contract. Upon Closing, full risk of loss with respect to the Purchased Assets shall pass to Buyer. For purposes of this Section 16, “major” loss or damage refers to the following: (i) greater five percent (5%) of the square footage of the Improvements on the Property; (ii) an absence of reasonable access to the Property; or (iii) damage reasonably exceeding five percent (5%) of the Purchase Price to repair, as determined by an architect selected by Seller and reasonably approved by Buyer.

 

16.2 Eminent Domain. If, prior to the Closing, any material portion, being equal to or greater than five percent (5%) of the Purchase Price, or all of the Purchased Assets is taken by eminent domain, then Buyer shall have the option of (a) canceling this Contract, in which event the Deposit shall be immediately returned to Buyer, or (b) proceeding with the Closing and acquiring the Purchased Assets as affected by such taking, together with all compensation and awards, and Seller will not settle any proceedings relating to such taking without Buyer’s prior written consent, provided, however, that if Buyer elects to proceed with the Closing, Buyer shall not be entitled to any reduction of the Purchase Price and Seller shall deliver any condemnation proceeds, if any, or assign the right to receive same, and the rights to any other claims arising as a result of the damage, to Buyer at Closing. Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of any actual or threatened condemnation affecting the Purchased Assets.

26
 

 

19.2 Closing Date Accounts Receivable and Prepayments. Seller shall retain its right, title, and interest in and to all unpaid accounts receivable with respect to the operation of the Facility that relate to periods prior to the Closing Date. On or before the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a list of all Residents who have outstanding balances owed to Seller for services rendered prior to the Closing Date and the amount of the balance due from each of those Residents. Seller shall remit to Buyer the portion of any pre-payments that have been received by Seller prior to the Closing Date that apply to any period following the Closing Date, as provided in paragraph 17.3.3 below.

 

19.3 Allocation of Payments. Payments received by Seller or Buyer on or after the Closing Date with respect to the operation of the Facility shall be handled as follows:

 

19.3.1 If the accompanying remittance advice correctly indicates, or if Buyer and Seller agree, that the payment relates solely to periods prior to the Closing Date, then: (A) if the payment is received by Buyer, Buyer shall promptly (and in any event, not later than ten (10) business days following its receipt of such payment) remit the payment to Seller, and until so remitted, the payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of Seller; and (B) if the payment is received by Seller, then Seller shall retain the payment.

 

19.3.2 If the accompanying remittance advice correctly indicates, or if Buyer and Seller agree, that the payment relates solely to periods on or after the Closing Date, then: (A) if the payment is received by Seller, Seller shall promptly (and in any event, not later than ten (10) business days following its receipt of such payment) remit the payment to Buyer, and until so remitted, the payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of Buyer; and (B) if the payment is received by Buyer, then Buyer shall retain the payment.

 

19.3.3 If the accompanying remittance advice correctly indicates, or if Buyer and Seller agree, that the payment relates to periods both prior to and after the Closing, then Seller shall be entitled to that portion of the payment that relates to periods prior to the Closing Date and Buyer shall be entitled to that portion of the payment that relates to the periods on or after the Closing Date. For this purpose, the portion of such payments that relate to periods prior to the Closing Date shall be determined based on a ratio, the numerator of which is the number of days of service to which the payments apply that occurred prior to the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days of service to which the payments apply; and the portion of the payments that relate to periods on or after the Closing Date shall be determined based on a ratio, the numerator of which is the number of days of service to which the payments apply that occurred on or after the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of service to which the payments apply. If such a payment is made to Buyer, then Buyer shall promptly (and in any event, not later than ten (10) business days following its receipt of such payment) remit to Seller the portion of such payment to which Seller is entitled, and until so remitted, the portion of the payment to which Seller is entitled shall be held in trust for the benefit of Seller. If such a payment is made to Seller, then Seller shall promptly (and in any event, not later than ten (10) business days following its receipt of such payment) remit to Buyer the portion of such payment to which Buyer is entitled, and until so remitted, the portion of the payment to which Buyer is entitled shall be held in trust for the benefit of Buyer.

 

27
 

 

19.3.4 If Buyer or Seller receives a payment during the first year after the Closing Date from or on behalf of a resident who has an outstanding balance for services rendered prior to the Closing Date and the payment or documentation accompanying the payment does not specify the period to which the payment applies, the payment will first be applied to the Resident’s balance outstanding as of the Closing Date, and Buyer shall be entitled to retain any portion of the payment remaining after the pre-Closing Date balance is reduced to zero.

 

19.3.5 Misapplied Payments. If any payment is misapplied by either of the parties, the party that erroneously received or applied the payment shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) days after the misapplication of the payment is discovered) remit the payment to the party entitled to receive the payment.

 

20. Buyer Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Contract or in any other writing, nothing in this Contract or in any such other writing shall be construed to constitute the assumption, express or implied, by Buyer of any liabilities or obligations of Seller, except obligations arising from and after the Closing Date under the Resident Contracts and Assumed Contracts expressly assumed by Buyer.

 

21. Recordation. Buyer agrees that disclosure of this Contract would be detrimental to Seller and hamper its future negotiations with third parties and, therefore, it is agreed that no disclosure shall be made by Buyer, except as provided in Section 29, below, without the written approval of Seller and that this Contract shall not be recorded in any public records. The provisions of this Section 21 shall survive Closing and delivery of the Deed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall be permitted to record a memorandum of contract memorializing the terms of this Contract, in recordable form.

 

22. Remedies for Default.

 

22.1 In the event of a default by Buyer under the terms hereof, Seller’s sole remedy, at law or in equity, shall be to receive the Deposit and interest earned thereon, if any, as liquidated damages (and not as a penalty) and thereafter, this Contract shall be deemed to be terminated and of no force and effect, except for those provisions that specifically survive termination. Seller waives all other remedies it may have against Buyer at law or in equity. Buyer acknowledges that Seller will take certain actions, forego opportunities and incur expenses related to and arising out of Seller’s obligations and duties as contained in this Contract. Buyer further acknowledges, having been carefully advised by counsel at the time of the execution of this Contract, that the Deposit paid to Seller pursuant to the provisions hereof, represents a reasonable endeavor by the parties to ascertain that said sums would be the minimal damages suffered by Seller in the event of a default or breach hereof by Buyer.

 

22.2 In the event of a breach or default by Seller under the terms hereof, Buyer may, at its option, if it is not in default hereunder, (a) elect to terminate the Contract and receive the Deposit, in which case Buyer shall be entitled to exercise any and all rights and remedies which it may have under this Contract, at law and/or in equity due to such Seller breach or default or (b) pursue the remedy of specific performance.

 

28
 

 

The parties further agree and stipulate that the terms of this Section 22 shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Contract.

 

23. Litigation. In connection with any litigation arising out of this transaction, or the interpretation or enforcement of this Contract, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the party not prevailing its reasonable costs and attorney, paralegal and experts’ fees in connection with all proceedings and all levels of proceedings. This Section 23 shall survive the Closing or the earlier termination of this Contract.

 

24. Notices. Notices. All notices, claims, demands, and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given: (a) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt); (b) when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier (receipt requested); (c) on the date sent by email of a PDF document (with confirmation of transmission) if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and on the next business day if sent after normal business hours of the recipient; or (d) on the third day after the date mailed, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, if sent to the respective parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 24):

38.3.2 any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Buyer pursuant to this Contract;

 

38.3.3 any and all obligations to third parties relating to pay-backs, overpayments, fines, penalties, claims, or liabilities due to the Medicaid program relating to, arising from, or with respect to the operation of the Facility after the Closing Date;

 

38.3.4 any Third Party Claim based upon, resulting from or arising out of the business, operations, properties, assets or obligations of Buyer or any of its affiliates conducted, existing or arising after the Closing Date; or

38.4 Notice and Procedure. Any party claiming indemnity hereunder (hereinafter referred to as the “Indemnified Party”) shall give the party against whom indemnity is sought (hereinafter referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”) prompt written notice prior to the Indemnity Expiration Date after obtaining knowledge of any claim or the existence of facts as to which recovery may be sought against the Indemnifying Party because of the indemnity provisions set forth in this Section 38. If such claim for indemnity arises in connection with a legal action instituted by a third party (hereinafter a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party hereby agrees that, within twenty (20) days after it is served with notice of the assertion of any Third Party Claim for which it may seek indemnity hereunder, the Indemnified Party will notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall, within five (5) business days after the date that the Indemnified Party gives notice of a claim (whether a Third Party Claim or otherwise) as provided above, notify the Indemnified Party whether it accepts or contests its obligation of indemnity hereunder as claimed by the Indemnified Party. If the claim for indemnity arises in connection with a Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party accepts its indemnity obligation hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, after conceding in writing its obligation of indemnity hereunder, to conduct the defense of such action at its sole expense through counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate in such defense, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, as reasonably necessary to enable the Indemnifying Party to conduct its defense, including providing the Indemnifying Party with reasonable access to such records as may be relevant to its defense. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to settle any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party provided that the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with reasonable assurances that the Indemnified Party will be fully indemnified by the Indemnifying Party in connection with any such Third Party Claim and provided that the settlement does not include any award of damages or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at its own expense in connection with any Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party has elected to defend. If the Indemnifying Party accepts its indemnity obligations hereunder in connection with a Third Party Claim but elects not to conduct the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party may defend or settle such Third Party Claim and shall be entitled to be indemnified for the full amount of such claim and all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection therewith pursuant to this Section 38. If the claim for indemnity arises in connection with a Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party contests or does not accept its indemnity obligation hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend or settle such Third Party Claim and thereafter seek indemnity from the other party pursuant to this Section 38; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall not settle any such claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the claim for indemnity arises other than in connection with a Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party accepts its indemnity obligation hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall, upon the request of the Indemnified Party, pay the full amount of such claim to the Indemnified Party or to the third party asserting such claim as directed by the Indemnified Party. If the claim for indemnity arises other than in connection with a Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party contests its indemnity obligation hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, settle or take any other action with respect to such claim and thereafter seek indemnity pursuant to this Section 38; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall not settle any such claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any indemnity claim that is made prior to the Indemnity Expiration Date shall survive the Indemnity Expiration Date until such claim is finally resolved.

 

38.5 Indemnification Remedy. The indemnification rights described in this Section 38 are in addition to, and not in derogation or limitation of, any contractual, statutory, or common law right or remedy that any party may have as a result of a breach of this Contract by the other party.

 

39. Waiver of Jury Trial. SELLER AND BUYER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED ON THIS CONTRACT, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS CONTRACT OR ANY AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS CONTRACT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY WITH RESPECT HERETO. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE ACCEPTANCE OF THIS CONTRACT FROM BUYER. EACH PARTY CONSENTS TO THE ISSUANCE AND SERVICE OF PROCESS UPON ANY OF ITS GENERAL PARTNERS, IF IT IS A PARTNERSHIP.

HOLDBACK ESCROW AGREEMENT

 

THIS HOLDBACK ESCROW AGREEMENT (this “Escrow Agreement”), is dated as of the [*] day of [*], 2021 (the “Effective Date”), by and among MCA NAPLES, LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company (“Seller”), NAPLES PROPERTY VENTURES, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Buyer”), and SHUTTS & BOWEN LLP (“Escrow Agent”). Seller, Buyer, and Escrow Agent shall each be individually referred to as a “Party” and collectively referred to as the “Parties.”

 

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, Buyer and Seller have entered into that certain Contract for Sale and Purchase dated as of June [*], 2021 (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Seller has agreed to sell to Buyer, and Buyer has agreed to purchase from Seller, substantially all of the assets used in the operation of Seller’s assisted living facility located at 2626 Goodlette-Frank Road, Naples, Florida 34105;

 

WHEREAS, the Purchase Agreement provides that a portion of the Purchase Price shall be deposited by Buyer into escrow to be held and distributed by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of this Escrow Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, the execution and delivery of this Escrow Agreement is a condition to the parties’ obligations under the Purchase Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Escrow Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

 

1. Defined Terms. All capitalized terms used in this Escrow Agreement not otherwise defined herein are given the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

 

2. Escrow Deposit.

 

(a) Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Escrow Agreement, an amount equal to Three Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($300,000.00) (the “Escrow Amount”) has been deposited, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, with the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Purchase Agreement. The Escrow Amount, together with all interest and other amounts earned thereon or derived therefrom, if any (“Escrow Income”) (collectively with the Escrow Amount, the “Escrow Funds”), will be available to satisfy any Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, Buyer and its officers, directors, managers, shareholders, partners, members, employees and agents (each of the foregoing, a “Buyer Indemnified Party”) that are recoverable from Seller pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 38.2 of the Purchase Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall not distribute or release the Escrow Funds except in accordance with the express terms and conditions of this Escrow Agreement.

 

Ex. A-1
 

 

(b) Escrow Agent may establish an interest-bearing account (the “Escrow Account”) and shall hold the Escrow Funds in escrow in the Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of this Escrow Agreement. Alternatively, the Escrow Funds may be held by Escrow Agent in its non-interest bearing IOLTA trust account, in which case, such IOLTA trust account shall constitute the “Escrow Account” hereunder. All interest earned thereon, if any, shall belong to Buyer. Prior to the date hereof, each of Buyer and Seller shall provide the Escrow Agent with a fully executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or W-8, properly completed and signed, and such other forms and documents that the Escrow Agent may reasonably request.

 

3. Release of Escrow Funds. The Escrow Funds held pursuant to this Escrow Agreement are intended to provide a non-exclusive source of funds for the payment of any amounts which may become payable in respect of the claims and matters described in Section 2(a) above, on or prior to the Distribution Date (as defined below). The Escrow Funds shall only be distributed and released as follows:

 

(a) Indemnification Related Claims.

 

(i) At any time and from time to time on or prior to the date that is thirty-six (36) months after the date hereof (the “Escrow Release Date”), if any Buyer Indemnified Party makes a claim for indemnity pursuant to Section 38.2 of the Purchase Agreement (a “Claim”), the Buyer Indemnified Party (or Buyer on its behalf) shall deliver to the Escrow Agent and Seller a written notice (an “Escrow Notice”) setting forth in reasonable detail the amount, nature, and basis of the Claim by the Buyer Indemnified Party. If the Escrow Agent has not received a written objection to such Claim or portion thereof or the amount of such Claim from Seller within fifteen (15) days following the Escrow Agent’s and Seller’s receipt of such Escrow Notice, then on the sixteenth (16th) day following such receipt, the Escrow Agent shall release, by wire transfer to an account or accounts designated by Buyer, an amount of Escrow Funds from the Escrow Account equal to the amount of such Claim.

 

(ii) If Seller in good faith delivers to the Escrow Agent and Buyer a written objection (a “Dispute Notice”) to any Claim or portion thereof or the amount of such Claim within fifteen (15) days following both the Escrow Agent’s and Seller’s receipt of such Escrow Notice, then the Escrow Agent shall not distribute to Buyer any portion of the Escrow Funds in the Escrow Account that is the subject of the Dispute Notice until the Escrow Agent receives either (A) joint written instructions signed by Seller and Buyer authorizing the release to Buyer of the portion of the Escrow Funds in the Escrow Account that is agreed upon as the amount recoverable in respect of the Dispute Notice or (B) a final and non-appealable order of any court of competent jurisdiction directing the release to Buyer of the portion of the Escrow Funds in the Escrow Account that is determined to be the amount recoverable in respect of the Dispute Notice; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller objects in part to the amount of the Claim, the Escrow Agent shall, after the lapse of the aforementioned fifteen (15) day period, deliver to Buyer an amount from the Escrow Fund equal to the portion of the Claim not objected to by Seller. Upon receipt of such joint written instructions or such final and non-appealable order, as the case may be, the Escrow Agent shall release to Buyer such amount of the Escrow Funds in the Escrow Account in accordance with such written instructions or final and non-appealable order.

 

Ex. A-2
 

 

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, as of the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Effective Date (the “Adjustment Date”), all Claims made as of such date do not exceed One Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($150,000.00) in the aggregate, then the Escrow Funds shall be reduced to One Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($150,000.00) and the Escrow Agent shall release to Seller the amount of the Escrow Funds in excess of such amount within ten (10) days after the Adjustment Date.

 

(b) Release of Remaining Escrow Funds.

 

(i) Within five (5) business days of the Escrow Release Date (the “Distribution Date”), the Escrow Agent shall release to Seller, by wire transfer to an account or accounts designated by Seller, the remaining balance of the Escrow Funds in the Escrow Account, less the amount of all Unresolved Claims. For purposes of this Escrow Agreement, the term “Unresolved Claims” shall mean, as of the Escrow Release Date, the aggregate amount of all Claims that are the subject of a Dispute Notice that have not previously been resolved or satisfied in accordance herewith or that were otherwise properly and timely asserted under this Escrow Agreement but otherwise unsatisfied as of the Escrow Release Date, including any Claims for which an Escrow Notice has been delivered but for which the fifteen (15) day objection period has not expired as of the Escrow Release Date.

 

(ii) Unresolved Claims for which Seller has objected in accordance with subclauses (i) and (ii) of Section 3(a) shall be administered in accordance with subclause (ii) of Section 3(a). Upon the expiration of the fifteen (15) day objection period for any Unresolved Claims for which no Dispute Notice has been delivered, the Escrow Agent shall release by wire transfer to an account or accounts designated by Buyer an amount of funds in the Escrow Account equal to the amount of such Unresolved Claim for which no Dispute Notice has been delivered. After the resolution of each Unresolved Claim, any remaining portion of the Escrow Funds in the Escrow Account not distributed to Buyer pursuant to the immediately preceding sentences and not subject to other Unresolved Claims shall be released by wire transfer promptly thereafter by the Escrow Agent to an account or accounts designated by Seller.

 

(c) Court Order. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Escrow Agreement to the contrary, the Escrow Agent shall disburse the Escrow Funds (or any portion thereof) in accordance with a notice from either Buyer or Seller of a final and non-appealable order from a court of competent jurisdiction, along with a copy of the order, pursuant to which such court has determined whether and to what extent Buyer or Seller are entitled to the Escrow Funds (or any portion thereof).

 

4. Limitation on Duties and Liabilities of Escrow Agent.

 

(a) The Escrow Agent shall not have any duties or liabilities except those set forth in this Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for: (i) any loss, diminution in value, or failure to achieve a greater profit as a result of such a deposit or investment; or (ii) any interest or other income on the Escrow Funds except as is actually earned and received.

 

Ex. A-3
 

 

(b) The Escrow Agent shall have no liability to Buyer or Seller regarding the sufficiency, correctness, genuineness, collection, or validity of any signature, notice, request, waiver, consent, receipt, or other document which appears to Escrow Agent to be genuine (whether an original or a photocopy) and the identity, authority, or rights of any person executing or depositing the same. The Escrow Agent may assume that any person purporting to give notice on behalf of any Party in accordance with the provisions of this Escrow Agreement has been duly authorized to do so.

 

(c) The Parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent: (i) is acting solely as escrow agent at their request and for their convenience; (ii) shall not be deemed to be the agent of any of the Parties; and (iii) shall not be liable to any of the Parties for any act or omission on the Escrow Agent’s part, other than as a result of the Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the Escrow Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to consult with counsel and to require and receive such written certifications or instructions from any Party as the Escrow Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate before taking any action hereunder. The cost of any legal consultation shall be indemnified by Buyer and Seller pursuant to Section 6.

 

(e) All commercially reasonable and necessary costs and expenses incurred by the Escrow Agent in performing its duties as the Escrow Agent, including but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall be indemnified by Buyer and Seller pursuant to Section 6.

 

(f) In the event that the Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions, claims or demands from Buyer or Seller which, in its opinion, conflict with any of the provisions of this Escrow Agreement, it shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action and its sole obligation shall be to keep safely all property held in escrow until it shall be directed otherwise in writing jointly by Buyer and Seller or by a final and non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Escrow Agent shall have the option, after fifteen (15) days’ notice to Buyer and Seller of its intention to do so, to file an action in interpleader requiring Buyer and Seller to answer and litigate any claims and rights among themselves.

 

(g) If there is any conflict between the provisions of this Escrow Agreement and any additional or supplementary instructions given to the Escrow Agent regarding the release of all or any portion of the Escrow Funds, the terms of this Escrow Agreement shall control.

 

5. Indemnification. Seller and Buyer, jointly and severally, hereby agree to indemnify the Escrow Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability, or expense incurred by the Escrow Agent, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of or in connection with any actions taken by it or any omission by it in connection with its rights, duties, or obligations under this Escrow Agreement, including amounts incurred in defending against any claim of liability hereunder or in bringing any action or proceeding (including, without limitation, the enforcement of any judgment issued in connection therewith or settlement thereof) required or permitted to be brought by it hereunder, except if incurred by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Escrow Agent. The provisions of this Section 6 shall survive the termination of this Escrow Agreement.

 

Ex. A-4
 

 

6. Termination. This Escrow Agreement shall terminate when the entire Escrow Account has been distributed in accordance with Section 3 of this Escrow Agreement.

 

7. Resignation and Removal of the Escrow Agent.

 

(a) The Escrow Agent reserves the right to resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of resignation, specifying the effective date thereof. On the effective date of such resignation, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrow Agreement together with the Escrow Funds (including any Escrow Income earned thereon) and any and all related instruments or documents to any successor escrow agent agreeable to Seller and Buyer. If a successor escrow agent has not been appointed and has not accepted such appointment prior to the expiration of thirty (30) days following the date of the notice of such resignation, the Escrow Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor escrow agent. Any such resulting appointment shall be binding upon all of the Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the Escrow Agent or any successor escrow agent shall continue to act as Escrow Agent until a successor is appointed and qualified to act as the Escrow Agent.

 

(b) The Escrow Agent may be removed (with or without cause) and a new escrow agent may be appointed upon mutual agreement of Seller and Buyer. In such event, Seller and Buyer shall deliver joint written notice to Escrow Agent of such removal, together with joint written instructions authorizing delivery of this Escrow Agreement together with the Escrow Funds (including any Escrow Income earned thereon) and any and all related instruments or documents to a successor escrow agent.

 

(c) Upon delivery of the Escrow Funds (including any interest thereon) to a successor escrow agent in accordance with this Section 7, the Escrow Agent shall thereafter be discharged from any future obligations hereunder. All power, authority, duties, and obligations of the Escrow Agent shall apply to any successor escrow agent.

 

8. Business Days. If any date on which the Escrow Agent is required to make an investment or a delivery pursuant to the provisions hereof is not a day on which the Escrow Agent is open for business, then the Escrow Agent shall make such investment or delivery on the next succeeding business day.

 

9. Force Majeure. No Party shall be liable or responsible to the other parties, nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Escrow Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Escrow Agreement, when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from acts beyond the affected Party’s reasonable control (“Force Majeure Events”), including, without limitation: (a) acts of God; (b) flood, fire or explosion; (c) war, invasion, riot or other civil unrest; (d) government order or law; (e) actions, embargoes or blockades in effect on or after the date of this Escrow Agreement; (f) action by any governmental authority; (g) national or regional emergency; and (h) strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns or other industrial disturbances. The Party suffering a Force Majeure Event shall give notice to the other party, stating the period of time the occurrence is expected to continue and shall use diligent efforts to end the failure or delay and ensure the effects of such Force Majeure Event are minimized.

 

Ex. A-5
 

 

10. Assignment. The rights and liabilities of the Parties shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors, executors, and administrators, as the case may be, provided that no Party may assign or delegate its obligations under this Escrow Agreement either in whole or in part without the prior written consent of Seller and Buyer.

 

11. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Escrow Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Florida without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Florida or any other jurisdiction). Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Escrow Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be instituted in the United States District Court of the Southern District of Florida or the courts of the State of Florida, in each case located in the City of Naples and County of Collier, and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. The Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or any proceeding in such courts and irrevocably waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

 

12. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION, PROCEEDING, CAUSE OF ACTION, OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

13. Severability. If any provision of this Escrow Agreement is for any reason found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Escrow Agreement. Upon such determination that any term is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Escrow Agreement so as to affect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

 

14. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Escrow Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Escrow Agreement.

 

15. Entire Agreement. This Escrow Agreement, together with the Purchase Agreement and related exhibits and schedules, constitutes the sole and entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any inconsistency between the statements in the body of this Escrow Agreement and those of the Purchase Agreement, (a) with respect to any inconsistency as between Buyer and Seller, the statements in the body of the Purchase Agreement shall control; and (b) with respect to any inconsistency as between the Escrow Agent, on the one hand, and either Buyer or Seller or both, on the other hand, the statements in the body of this Escrow Agreement shall control.

 

Ex. A-6
 

 

16. Amendment and Modification; Waiver. This Escrow Agreement may only be amended, modified or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by each Party. No waiver by any Party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the Party so waiving. Except as otherwise set forth in this Escrow Agreement, no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Escrow Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

 

17. Notices. All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers, and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given: (a) when delivered by hand; (b) one business day after deposit if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier (receipt requested); (c) on the date sent by email of a PDF document (with confirmation of transmission) if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and on the next business day if sent after normal business hours of the recipient; or (d) on the third (3rd) day after the date mailed, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid.

CERTIFICATION OF NON-FOREIGN STATUS

 

[*], 2021

 

Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. For U.S. tax purposes (including Section 1445 of the Code), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity. In this regard, MCA Naples, LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company (“Seller”), is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Seller is owned by MCA Naples Holdings, LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company (the “Member”).

 

To inform Naples Property Ventures, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Buyer”), that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a U.S. real property interest by the Member, the undersigned hereby certifies as follows:

 

  (a) The Member is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust, foreign estate or foreign person (as those terms are defined in the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder);
     
  (b) The Member is not a disregarded entity as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii);
     
  (c) The U.S. employer identification number of the Member is [*]; and
     
  (d) The office address of the Member is: 8800 Village Drive, Suite 201, San Antonio, Texas 72817.

 

The Member understands that this certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by Buyer and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment or both.

 

Under penalties of perjury I declare that I have examined this certification and to the best of my knowledge and belief it is true, correct, and complete, and I further declare that I have authority to sign this document on behalf of the Member.

 

EXECUTED effective as of the date hereof.

NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENT

 

This NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the [*] day of [*], 2021 (the “Effective Date”), by and among NAPLES PROPERY VENTURES, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Buyer”), MCA NAPLES, LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company (“Seller”), MCA NAPLES OPERATING COMPANY, LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company (“Current Operator”), MEMORY CARE AMERICA, LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company (“Current Manager”), and B.J. PARRISH, a resident of [*] (“Parrish”), and JIM WALSEA, a resident of [*] (“Walsea” and together with Parrish, “Principals”). Seller, Current Operator, Current Manager and Principals are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Restricted Parties”.

 

WHEREAS, Seller has owned, and (i) Current Operator has operated, on behalf of Seller and (ii) Current Manager has managed, on behalf of Current Operator, an assisted living facility commonly known as “Memory Care of Naples” (the “Facility”) located at 2626 Goodlette-Frank Road, Naples, Florida 34105 (the “Premises”);

 

WHEREAS, Seller’s ownership, Current Operator’s operation of the Facility and Current Manager’s management of the Facility have resulted in the Seller, Current Operator and Current Manager developing a significant reputation in Facility’s market and the surrounding regions in connection with providing assisted living services and with the general operation of the Facility;

 

WHEREAS, Principals have been actively involved in the management, development and strategic direction of the Facility, have acquired considerable experience and skill and have contributed to the goodwill of the Facility;

 

WHEREAS, Seller and Buyer are parties to that certain Contract for Purchase and Sale dated as of [*], 2021 regarding the Facility (the “Purchase Contract”);

 

WHEREAS, if any of the Restricted Parties were to resume the business activities of an assisted living facility in the area of the Facility after the Effective Date, such activities could have a material impact on the Protected Business (defined below). Accordingly, the execution of and compliance with the terms of this Agreement by the Restricted Parties is essential to the Protected Business acquired pursuant to the Purchase Contract; and

 

WHEREAS, in order to protect the future business operations of Buyer from such competition, the Restricted Parties have agreed not to compete with Buyer for a period of sixty (60) months following the Effective Date and to refrain from soliciting or hiring any of Buyer’s employees following the Effective Date, subject to the terms hereof.

 

Ex. I-1
 

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in order to induce Buyer to close the transactions pursuant to the Purchase Contract, the transfer of financial consideration under the Purchase Contract, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Definitions. As used in this Agreement the following terms shall have the following meanings:

 

(a) “Affiliate” of a Person shall mean a Person that, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by or is under the common control with the first Person.

 

(b) “Assisted Living Business” shall mean the operation of an assisted living facility.

 

(c) “Clients” includes any resident, customer or other party who engages or has engaged in business with Buyer or with any other Protected Party (defined below).

 

(d) “Competition” means any activity that is, directly or indirectly, competitive with the Facility. Competition includes working within the Restricted Area and making any offer or sale of, or marketing, any product or service competitive with the Protected Business, even though the business of producing, processing, shipping or marketing such product or service may be located outside the Restricted Area. For purposes of this Agreement, direct or indirect competition will include but not be limited to competition as a sole proprietor, partner, corporate officer, director, manager, member, shareholder, employee, consultant, agent, independent contractor, trustee, guarantor, advisor (including as an advisor to a family member), or in any other capacity whatsoever pursuant to which the Restricted Party holds any beneficial interest in a competitor, derives any income or other benefit from a competitor, or provides any service, advise, support (financial or otherwise), or assistance of any type whatsoever to a competitor.

 

(e) “Confidential Information” shall mean any business information relating to the Restricted Parties’ operation of the Business, and regarding any of the operations, services, employee compensation, pricing procedures, organization, finances, marketing, or resident lists of the Facility. Confidential Information also includes without limitation, all procedures, concepts, methods, and other matters and information, specifically including but not limited to information such as price lists, publicity, marketing strategies, Client, distributor, contractor, supplier and vendor identities and lists, revenues, key contact personnel, financial relationships, methods of soliciting business, documents, financial data, and marketing programs. The term “Confidential Information” is intended to be interpreted very broadly to encompass all items described in this paragraph regardless of whether each item satisfies the legal concept of a trade secret. Confidential Information shall not include any information that is or becomes available to the general public through no fault of the Restricted Parties.

 

(f) “Person” shall mean an individual, a partnership, an association, a corporation, a limited liability company, a trust, an unincorporated organization or any other business entity or enterprise.

 

(g) “Protected Business” means the Facility, as acquired and operated by Buyer.

 

(h) “Protected Party” and “Protected Parties” include Buyer, its members, managers and their respective successors and assigns.

 

Ex. I-2
 

 

(i) “Restricted Area” means from a location within a one hundred (100) mile radius of the Facility.

 

Any capitalized terms used herein which are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Purchase Contract.

 

2. Term. The term of this Agreement shall be sixty (60) months commencing on the Effective Date (hereinafter referred to as the “Term”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and provided Buyer provides written notice to the Restricted Parties of its objection to a breach of this Agreement, the Term shall be automatically extended by a period of time equal to any and all times during which the Restricted Parties are in breach of this Agreement.

 

3. Non-competition. During the Term, each of the Restricted Parties agree not to be involved directly or indirectly, either as an employee, officer, director, agent, stockholder, partner, self-employed individual, contractor, or consultant with a Person, or as manager, owner or operator with any Person engaged in an Assisted Living Business within the Restricted Area. Further, during the Term, each of the Restricted Parties agrees not to engage in Competition with any Protected Party within the Restricted Area. Competition within the Restricted Area includes activities outside the Restricted Area to the extent that such activities include contacting Clients within the Restricted Area or otherwise involve buying, selling, or otherwise dealing in or with competitive goods or services within the Restricted Area. The provisions of this Section 3 will not, however, prevent any Restricted Party from owning less than one percent (1%) of the outstanding stock of any publicly traded corporation engaged in Competition, so long as no Restricted Party engages in such corporation’s business or otherwise engages in Competition with any Protected Party.

 

4. No Solicitation or Hiring. During the Term, without the prior express written consent of Buyer, which such consent may be withheld in Buyer’s absolute discretion, the Restricted Parties will not (and will not attempt to, permit or cause any of its Affiliates, subsidiaries, contractors or representatives or their respective owners, directors, officers, employees, contractors, agents, representatives or third parties to) for any reason: (a) hire or solicit to hire any employee, independent contractor or third party under the control of the Facility, which has had a business relationship with the Facility (and after the Effective Date, Buyer) at any time during the period of time from six (6) months prior to the Effective Date through the Term (each, a “Restricted Person”), or (b) directly or indirectly recruit, induce, encourage or solicit any Restricted Person to do any of the following (or engage in any discussion, the topic, intent, goal or result of which is, to cause or encourage any such person or entity to): (i) terminate or alter his, her or its employment, contract or relationship with the Facility (and after the Effective Date, Buyer), (ii) act in such a manner that his, her or its employment contract or relationship with the Facility (and after the Effective Date, Buyer) is terminated or altered, or (iii) become associated with, provide services to or become an employee, contractor, agent or representative of any other Person.

 

5. No Use of Confidential Information. The Restricted Parties will not (and will not attempt to, permit or cause any of its Affiliates, subsidiaries, contractors or representatives or their respective owners, directors, officers, employees, contractors, agents, representatives or third parties to attempt), for any reason, directly or indirectly, disclose to any Person, or use or otherwise exploit for the Restricted Parties’ own benefit or for the benefit of any other Person, any Confidential Information, including but not limited to the solicitation of prior customers of the Facility.

 

Ex. I-3
 

 

6. Reasonableness of Restrictions. Each of the Restricted Parties agrees that the restrictions contained herein have been carefully negotiated with a view toward avoiding unreasonable interference with the ability of each of the Restricted Parties to engage in gainful employment or other advantageous economic activities. In particular, the scope of the Protected Business, the Restricted Area and the duration of the Restricted Period have been carefully defined to provide necessary protection to the Protected Parties without unreasonably limiting the ability of the Restricted Parties to engage in productive and profitable activities. Each Restricted Party represents that said party (i) is familiar with the covenants set forth in this Agreement; (ii) is fully aware of the obligations imposed on the Restricted Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, the length of time, scope and geographic coverage of these covenants; (iii) has received specific, bargained for consideration for the covenants contained in this Agreement; and (iv) the performance of such Restricted Party’s obligations under this Agreement will not conflict with, or result in a violation or breach of, any other agreement to which such Restricted Party is a part or any judgment, order or decree to which such Restricted Party is subject.

 

7. Advice of Legal Counsel. Each Restricted Party acknowledges and represents that, in executing this Agreement, he, she or it has consulted with legal counsel (or has affirmatively chosen not to do so) and is fully aware of his, her or its rights and obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement shall not be construed against any party by reason of its drafting or preparation.

 

8. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Florida (without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof).

 

9. Enforcement.

 

(a) Injunctive Relief. The parties hereto recognize that because of the role of Restricted Parties in the management, operation and ownership of Facility and because of the knowledge of Facility’s customers, business plans and financial strengths and weaknesses, irreparable damage will result to Buyer in the event of a breach of the terms of this Agreement by the Restricted Parties. The Restricted Parties agree that in such event Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedies and damages available, to an injunction to restrain and enjoin the Restricted Parties from violating the restrictive covenants in Paragraphs 3, 4 or 5 above (collectively, the “Restrictive Covenants”) without the necessity of posting any bond or proving special damages or irreparable injury. Moreover, it is agreed that the Restricted Parties, jointly and severally, shall be responsible for any and all expenses incurred by Buyer, including reasonable and necessary legal fees of Buyer in any litigation between Buyer and the Restricted Parties involving this Agreement in which Buyer prevails. It is understood and agreed between the parties to this Agreement that in the event there is a suit in equity by Buyer against the Restricted Parties to enforce this Agreement, and the Court shall refuse for any reason to enforce this Agreement by injunction, such suit in equity shall not be a bar to a later suit to recover damages.

 

Ex. I-4
 

 

(b) Interpretation; Severability. The parties hereto expressly agree and acknowledge that it is not their intention that the Restrictive Covenants in this Agreement violate any public policy or statutory or common law. If a court of competent jurisdiction renders a ruling (sustained on appeal, if any) holding that any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement, including the stated term and/or geographic coverage of the Restrictive Covenants, constitute an unreasonable restriction, then the parties specifically agree that the Restrictive Covenants shall not be rendered void but shall apply to such extent and as to such time period and geographic areas as the court may determine constitutes a reasonable restriction under the circumstances. The parties specifically intend that the Restrictive Covenants shall be construed as a series of separate covenants for each restrictive action and for each distinct geographic area contained within the stated territory. Except for its respective geographic coverage, each and every such separate covenant shall be deemed identical in terms to the Restrictive Covenants in Paragraphs 3, 4 and 5, and if any one or more of such separate covenants are held by a court of competent jurisdiction (sustained on appeal, if any) to be unenforceable, then each such unenforceable covenant shall be deemed eliminated from such covenant to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants to be enforced.

 

10. Assignment; Incorporation by Reference. Buyer may freely assign its rights and duties under this Agreement by providing written notice to the Restricted Parties. Each party hereto covenants and agrees that Sections 23, 24, 25, 27, 28, 31 and 39 of the Purchase Contract are incorporated herein by reference and shall be a part of this Agreement, mutatis mutandis, and otherwise modified as necessary to apply to this Agreement as if herein stated.

 

11. Electronic Signatures; Counterparts. This Agreement shall be valid, binding, and enforceable against a party when executed and delivered by an authorized individual on behalf of the party by means of (a) an original manual signature; (b) a faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or (c) any other electronic signature permitted by the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, state enactments of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, and/or any other relevant electronic signatures law, in each case to the extent applicable. Each faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, shall for all purposes have the same validity, legal effect, and admissibility in evidence as an original manual signature. Each party hereto shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon, and shall have no liability with respect to, any faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, of any other party and shall have no duty to investigate, confirm or otherwise verify the validity or authenticity thereof. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but such counterparts shall, together, constitute one and the same instrument.
