If the terms of such proposed New Lease are not consistent with Seller’s current leasing practices (except with respect to utilities), Seller shall not enter into such New Lease without obtaining the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Seller shall promptly provide or make available to Seller all New Leases, and Buyer shall assume any such New Lease at the applicable Closing as a Lease hereunder.
7.2. Contracts . Except as provided in Section 7.1 above, Seller shall not materially amend any existing Contract or enter into any new contract with respect to the ownership and operation of the Real Property that will survive the relevant Closing, or that would otherwise affect the use, operation or enjoyment of the Real Property after the Closing, without Buyer’s prior written approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
7.3. Insurance . Seller shall maintain its existing insurance policies with respect to all of the Real Properties continuously in force through and including the relevant Closing.
7.4. Operation of Property .

7.5. No Assignment . After the Effective Date and prior to the relevant Closing, Seller shall not assign, alienate, lien, encumber or otherwise transfer all or any part of the Real Property or any interest therein.

14
7.6. Change in Conditions . Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of any material change in any condition with respect to the Real Property or other Purchased Assets. Seller shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) business days) deliver any meaningful materials, reports, information or other documents that it obtains or discovers after the Effective Date that would constitute a Document to the extent Seller did not, for any reason, deliver such items as part of the Documents.

In addition to the other conditions enumerated in this Agreement, the following shall be additional Conditions Precedent to Buyer’s obligation to close hereunder, with respect to the Closings or any of them.
8.1. Pending Actions .

8.2. Zoning . On the date of the relevant Closing, no proceedings shall be pending or threatened that could reasonably be expected to involve the change, redesignation, redefinition or other modification of the zoning classifications of (or any building, environmental, or code requirements applicable to) the Real Property or any portion thereof that would reasonably materially and adversely affect the value of the Real Property to be acquired at such Closing.
8.3. Approvals . Buyer and/or Seller, as the case may be, shall have obtained all Permits and all municipal, state or regulatory approvals necessary for consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder.
8.4. Representations and Warranties and Covenants . As of the relevant Closing, each and all of the representations and warranties made by Seller to Buyer as of the Effective Date shall be true, accurate and correct in all material respects, as if specifically remade at that time, and Seller shall have delivered the Deed and other instruments of conveyance and relating to title and the other Closing deliveries of Seller, and Seller shall have performed all other covenants and obligations of Seller to be performed at or before such Closing as required under this Agreement.

9. PRORATIONS, ADJUSTMENTS AND CLOSING EXPENSES .
9.1. Proration . The following shall be prorated and adjusted between Seller and Buyer as of each Closing hereunder, except as otherwise specified:
|
|
(a) |
Security Deposits . The amount of all cash security and any other cash tenant deposits held by Seller, and interest due thereon, if any, shall be transferred to a security deposit account maintained by Buyer in accordance with the Kentucky Uniform Landlord Tenant Act. |
|
|
(c) |
Assessments . All assessments, general or special, shall be prorated as of the Closing, with Seller being responsible for any installments of assessments that are due and payable prior to the Closing and Buyer being responsible for any installments of assessments that are due and payable on or after the Closing. |
16
|
|
(f) |
Other . Such other items as are customarily prorated in transactions of this nature shall be ratably prorated by mutual agreement of the parties. |
For purposes of calculating prorations under this Section 9.1, Buyer shall be deemed to be in title to the Real Property, and therefore entitled to the income therefrom and responsible for the expenses thereof, for the entire day upon which the Closing occurs. All such prorations shall be made on the basis of the actual number of days of the year and month that shall have elapsed as of the date of the relevant Closing. The amount of such prorations shall be adjusted in cash after the Closing, as and when complete and accurate information becomes available. Seller and Buyer agree to cooperate and use their good faith and diligent efforts to make such adjustments no later than thirty (30) days after the relevant Closing, or as soon as is reasonably practicable if and to the extent that the required final proration information is not available within such thirty (30) day period. Items of income and expense for the period prior to the Closing generally will be for the account of Seller and items of income and expense for the period on and after the Closing generally will be for the account of Buyer, all as determined by the accrual method of accounting. Bills received after the Closing that relate to expenses incurred, services performed or other amounts allocable to the period prior to the Closing shall be paid by Seller. Any amounts not so paid by Seller may be set off against amounts (if any) otherwise due Seller hereunder.
9.2. Closing Expenses . Buyer will pay the entire cost of any title charges, title insurance and endorsements obtained by Buyer for Buyer, the cost of any surveys obtained by Buyer for Buyer, and the cost of recording each Deed hereunder. Seller shall pay all state, county and municipal transfer taxes on each Deed, the payment and cost of preparation of each Deed and other conveyancing instruments pertaining to the Real Property, the cost of satisfying and releasing any liens and security interests of record, and the cost of curing any title defects it is to cure pursuant to this Agreement.
17
9.3. Allocation of Purchase Price . Within thirty (30) days after the date of each Closing , Buyer shall deliver to Seller a schedule allocating the Purchase Price (including any Assumed Liabilities treated as consideration for the Purchased Assets ) for tax purposes (the “ Allocation Schedule ”). The Allocation Schedule shall be prepared in accordance with Section 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Allocation Schedule shall be deemed final unless Seller notifies Buyer in writing that Seller objects to one or more items reflected in the Allocation Schedule within ten (10) days after delivery of the Allocation Schedule to Seller . In the event of any such objection, Seller and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute; provided, however, if Seller and Buyer are unable to resolve any dispute with respect to the Allocation Schedule within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Allocation Schedule to Seller , such dispute shall be resolved by an impartial regionally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants mutually appointed by Buyer and Seller. The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be borne equally by Seller and Buyer. Seller and Buyer agree to file their respective IRS Forms 8594 and all federal, state and local tax returns in accordance with the Allocation Schedule.
10. DESTRUCTION, LOSS OR DIMINUTION OF REAL PROPERTY .
If, prior to any Closing, all or any portion of the Real Properties are damaged by fire or other natural casualty (collectively “ Casualty Damage ”), or are taken or made subject to condemnation, eminent domain or other governmental acquisition proceedings (collectively “ Eminent Domain ”), then the following procedures shall apply:
|
|
(a) |
If the aggregate cost of repair or replacement of the Casualty Damage (collectively, “ repair and/or replacement ”) is $10,000 or less, in the opinion of Buyer’s and Seller’s respective engineering consultants, Buyer shall close and take the Real Property as diminished by such events, subject to an assignment of Seller’s casualty insurance proceeds (plus a credit for the amount of any unpaid deductible or any cost of repair and/or replacement that is uninsured) or an assignment of any condemnation award, as applicable. The proceeds and benefits under any rent loss or business interruption policies attributable to the period following the Closing shall likewise be transferred and paid over (and, if applicable, likewise credited on an interim basis) to Buyer. |
18
|
|
condemnation award, as applicable (in which case, the proceeds and benefits under any rent loss or business interruption policies attributable to the period following the Closing shall likewise be transferred and paid over (and, if applicable, likewise credited on an interim basis) to Buyer) . |
11.1 Indemnification of Buyer . Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer and its affiliates and their respective representatives (collectively, the " Buyer Indemnitees ") to the fullest extent of the law against all claims, damages, losses and expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees, (collectively, “ Losses ”) resulting from: (a) any material misrepresentation, material inaccuracy or material breach of any of the representations and warranties made by Seller in this Agreement; (b) any failure of Seller to carry out, perform, satisfy and/or discharge any of its covenants, agreements, undertakings, liabilities or obligations under this Agreement; (c) Seller’s operation of the Business (including, without limitation, as to the Purchased Assets) prior to the date of the relevant Closing respecting such Purchased Assets; and (d) the Excluded Liabilities.
11.2 Indemnification of Seller . Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify Seller and its affiliates and their respective members and representatives (collectively, the " Seller Indemnitees ") to the fullest extent of the law against all Losses resulting from: (a) any material misrepresentation, material inaccuracy or material breach of any of the representations and warranties made by Buyer in this Agreement, (b) any failure of Buyer to carry out, perform, satisfy and/or discharge any of its covenants, agreements, undertakings, liabilities or obligations under this Agreement; (c) Buyer's operation of the Business (including, without limitation, as to the Purchased Assets) from and after the relevant Closing respecting such Purchased Assets; and (d) the Assumed Liabilities.
The obligations of Seller pursuant to this Section 11 shall survive all Closings or any earlier termination of this Agreement.
11.3 Limitations . (a) Seller shall not have any obligation to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees from and against any Losses under Section 11.1(a), other than Losses resulting by reason of any fraud or intentional misrepresentation, until the Buyer Indemnitees have suffered Losses by reason of all such breaches in excess of two percent (2%) of the Purchase Price (after which point Seller will be obligated to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees from and against all such Losses in excess of the first two percent (2%) of the Purchase Price); provided, however, that the foregoing thresholds shall not apply to any indemnification provided by Seller arising out of the representations and warranties in Sections 5.1 (Good Standing and Authority) and 5.8 (Taxes). Buyer shall not have any obligation to indemnify the Seller Indemnitees from and against Losses under Section 11.2(a), other than Losses resulting by reason of any fraud or intentional misrepresentation, until the Seller Indemnitees have suffered Losses by reason of all such breaches in excess of two percent (2%) of the Purchase Price (after which point Buyer will be obligated to indemnify the Seller Indemnitees from and against all such Losses in excess of the first two percent (2%) of the Purchase Price); provided, however, that the foregoing thresholds shall not apply to any indemnification provided by Buyer arising out of the representations and warranties in Sections 6.1 (Good Standing and Authority) and 6.3 (Capitalization).
19
(b) From and after the last Closing, the rights of the Indemnified Parties under Sections 11.1-11.3 shall be the exclusive remedy of the Seller Indemnitees and Buyer Indemnitees with respect to any and all matters arising out of, relating to, or connected with this Agreement, Seller and its assets and liabilities, including, without limitation, the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities; provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, nothing herein shall limit any claim of any Party for remedies at law or in equity for fraud or intentional misrepresentations.
12.1. Entire Agreement . This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated herein, and all prior or contemporaneous oral agreements, understandings, representations and statements, and all prior written agreements, understandings, letters of intent and proposals, in each case with respect to the transactions contemplated herein, are hereby superseded and rendered null and void and of no further force and effect and are merged into this Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor any provisions hereof may be waived, modified, amended, discharged or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which the enforcement of such waiver, modification, amendment, discharge or termination is sought, and then only to the extent set forth in such instrument.
12.2. No Waiver . No waiver by any party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this 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.
12.3. Assignment . The terms, conditions and covenants of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective nominees, successors, beneficiaries and assigns; provided, however, no conveyance, assignment or transfer of any interest whatsoever of, in or to the Purchased Assets or of this Agreement shall be made by Seller without the prior written consent of Buyer. Buyer shall not assign this Agreement or any part hereof without the prior written consent of Seller.

12.6. No Liability of Other Party . Upon any Closing, neither party shall assume nor undertake to pay, satisfy or discharge any liabilities, obligations or commitments of the other party hereto other than those specifically agreed to between the parties and set forth in this Agreement.

21
12.7. Expenses . Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants, incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses, whether or not any Closing shall have occurred.
12.8. Transfer Taxes . All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the sale and transfer of the Purchased Assets (including any property transfer Tax and any other similar Tax or fee) shall be borne and paid by Seller when due. Seller shall, at its own expense, timely file any Tax return(s) or other document(s) with respect to any such Taxes or fees.
12.9. No Brokerage . Each party hereto represents and warrants to the other that it has dealt with no brokers or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement. Seller and Buyer each hereby indemnify, protect and defend and hold the other harmless from and against all Losses, resulting from the claims of any broker, finder or other such party, claiming by, through or under the acts or agreements of the indemnifying party. The obligations of the parties pursuant to this Section 12.9 shall survive all Closings or any earlier termination of this Agreement.
12.10. Time of the Essence . Time is of the essence of this Agreement.
12.11. Legal Holidays . If any date herein set forth for the performance of any obligations by Seller or Buyer or for the delivery of any instrument or notice as herein provided should be on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the compliance with such obligations or delivery shall be deemed acceptable on the next business day following such Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday. As used herein, the term “ legal holiday ” means any state or federal holiday for which financial institutions or post offices are generally closed for observance thereof in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
12.12. Conditions Precedent . The obligations of Buyer to make the payments described in Section 3.1 and to close the transactions, or any one of them, contemplated herein are subject to the express Conditions Precedent set forth in this Agreement, each of which is for the sole benefit of Buyer and may be waived at any time by written notice thereof from Buyer to Seller. The waiver of any particular Condition Precedent shall not constitute the waiver of any other.

12.13. Survival of Provisions . All of the representations, warranties and indemnities contained in this Agreement shall survive all Closings for a period of three (3) years after the date of this Agreement.

22
12.15. Construction . This Agreement shall not be construed more strictly against one party than against the other merely by virtue of the fact that it may have been prepared by counsel for one of the parties, it being recognized that both Seller and Buyer have contributed substantially and materially to the preparation of this Agreement. The headings of various sections in this Agreement are for convenience only, and are not to be utilized in construing the content or meaning of the substantive provisions hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) the words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (b) the word “or” is not exclusive; and (c) the words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereto” and “hereunder” refer to this Agreement as a whole. The schedules and exhibits referred to herein and attached hereto shall be construed with, and as an integral part of, this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein.
12.16. Severability . If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect 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.
12.17. Governing Law . This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. Any legal suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement must be instituted in the federal or state courts located in the city of Wilmington, Delaware, and each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding, and waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, SELLER AND BUYER HEREBY MUTUALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM AT LAW OR IN EQUITY IN CONNECTION WITH, OR RELATING TO, THIS AGREEMENT.
12.18. Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, e-mail or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.
12.19. Termination . With respect to the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities with respect to which there has not yet been a Closing, this Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to such Closing:
(a) by the mutual written consent of Seller and Buyer;
23
(b) by Buyer by written notice to Seller if:
(i) Buyer is not then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement and there has been a material breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Seller pursuant to this Agreement and such breach, inaccuracy or failure has not been cured by Seller within 30 days of Seller's receipt of written notice of such breach from Buyer;
(ii) such Closing has not occurred by June 30, 2019, unless such failure shall be due to the failure of Buyer to perform or comply with any of the covenants or agreements to be performed or complied with by it prior to the Closing;
(c) by the Seller by written notice to Buyer if:
(i) Seller is not then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement and there has been a material breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and such breach, inaccuracy or failure has not been cured by Buyer within 30 days of Buyer’s receipt of written notice of such breach from Seller; or
(ii) the first Closing has occurred by June 30, 2018, unless such failure shall be due to the failure of the Seller to perform or comply with any of the covenants or agreements hereof to be performed or complied with by it prior to the Closing; or
(iii) such Closing has not occurred by June 30, 2019, unless such failure shall be due to the failure of Seller to perform or comply with any of the covenants or agreements to be performed or complied with by it prior to the Closing.
No termination pursuant to this Section 12.19 shall be effective to terminate this Agreement with respect to any Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities which have been transferred to and assumed by Buyer. The rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and are in addition to and not in substitution for any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity or otherwise in the event of the termination of this Agreement prior to the first Closing. In the event of the termination of this Agreement, each of the parties may pursue any and all its remedies against the other parties hereto including any and all remedies at law or in equity, including the remedy of specific performance. In no event shall any party hereto be liable to any other party hereto respecting any consequential or punitive damages (except for consequential or punitive damages owed by a party to a third party for which such party is entitled to indemnification hereunder).
