Buyer and Seller acknowledge that Buyer and Seller, their affiliates and/or subsidiaries are also party(ies) to those certain other Agreements for Sale and Purchase of Property, identified on Exhibit 3 attached hereto (each referred to as a “Purchase Agreement” and, collectively, as the “Purchase Agreements”), relating to the sale of certain senior housing properties more particularly described and defined in the Purchase Agreements. Buyer and Seller further acknowledge that they intend for the Closing of this transaction to require the Closing of the transactions contemplated in the Purchase Agreements and for the closing of the transactions contemplated in the Purchase Agreements to require the Closing of this transaction. Buyer and Seller agree that in the event Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement for any reason as expressly permitted pursuant to the provisions hereof (other than termination as a result of (i) the willful or intentional breach or default under this Agreement by Seller or (ii) Seller's failure to remove a Financial Encumbrance as defined in Section 5.3), then such termination shall be deemed a termination of all Purchase Agreements; provided, however, Seller in its sole discretion may waive the termination of any or all Purchase Agreements and elect to proceed with the transaction pursuant to the remaining terms and conditions of such Purchase Agreement(s).

Section 3.Earnest Money.

3.1Deposit and Disposition. Simultaneous with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Buyer is depositing with Closing Agent the cash sum of One Hundred Fifty-five Thousand Eight Hundred Ninety-nine and 12/100 Dollars ($155,899.12) (the “Earnest Money”). If this Agreement is not terminated by Buyer before the Inspection Date (as defined in Section 6.3), Buyer shall increase the Earnest Money by depositing an additional Two Hundred Thirty-three Thousand Eight Hundred Forty-eight and 68/100 Dollars ($233,848.68) with Closing Agent within two (2) business days after the Inspection Date. The Earnest Money shall be held by Closing Agent until disbursed as set forth in this Agreement. Buyer shall execute and deliver any appropriate W-9 forms requested by Closing Agent. If and only if (a) Buyer acquires the Property, and (b) the Closing of the transaction contemplated in this Agreement is the final closing among the Purchase Agreements, then the Earnest Money shall be paid to Seller and applied as a credit against the Consideration. If the Closing of the transaction contemplated in this Agreement is not the final closing among the Purchase Agreements, then the Earnest Money shall not be applied as a credit against the Consideration in this transaction, but shall rather be applied as a credit against the consideration of such final closing. If all of the conditions precedent set forth in this Agreement are not met or resolved, or if Buyer terminates this Agreement as expressly permitted pursuant to the provisions hereof, then Closing Agent shall return the Earnest Money to Buyer, subject to Section 3.3 below. If all of the conditions precedent set forth in this Agreement have been satisfied or waived by Buyer, and if thereafter Buyer fails to acquire the Property pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, then the Earnest Money shall be delivered to Seller and shall be retained by Seller as liquidated damages. If there is a dispute between Buyer and Seller as to the distribution of the Earnest Money, or if for any other reason Closing Agent in good faith elects not to make any such disbursement, then Closing Agent shall continue to hold the Earnest Money until otherwise directed by written instructions executed both by Seller and Buyer, or by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Upon request, Buyer and Seller shall execute

4

Closing Agent’s standard earnest money escrow agreement; provided, however, that if there is any conflict or inconsistency between such escrow agreement and this Agreement, then this Agreement shall control.

3.2 Investments. Following the collection of the Earnest Money, Closing Agent shall, at the written request of Buyer, invest the Earnest Money in: (a) obligations of the United States government, its agencies or independent departments; (b) certificates of deposit issued by a banking institution with assets in excess of $1 billion and with which Closing Agent has a substantial banking relationship; or (c) either a non-interest bearing account providing F.D.I.C. insurance in the full amount of the Earnest Money, or an interest-bearing account at a banking institution with assets in excess of $1 billion, and with which Closing Agent has a substantial banking relationship.

Section 4.Consideration and Prorations.

4.1 Consideration. The “Consideration” shall be the sum of Thirty-Six Million Seven Hundred Eighty-six Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($36,786,000.00), which purchase price shall be allocated to each individual Property as set forth in Exhibit 4.1 attached hereto. The parties shall make the prorations and allocations set forth in this section as a credit or debit to the Consideration. The balance of the Consideration shall be paid by Buyer to Escrow Agent, to be released to Seller at Closing, by wire transfer of immediately available funds by not later than 12:00 p.m. Central Time.

4.2 Prorations.

| (a) |  | General. For purposes of calculating prorations, Buyer shall be deemed to be in title to the Property, and therefore entitled to the income therefrom and responsible for the expenses thereof, for the entire day upon which the Closing occurs. All prorations shall be made on the basis of the actual number of days of the year and month that shall have elapsed prior to the Closing Date.

| (b) |  | Rent. The parties shall Prorate all Rent actually received by Seller for the month in which Closing occurs. At Closing, to the extent actually received by Seller prior to Closing, Seller shall pay to Buyer any and all prepaid Rent relating or pertaining to the Property. If Seller receives payment for Rent after Closing, Seller shall immediately pay to Buyer the portion of such payment which relates to the period on and after the Closing Date, and any portion of such payment which relates to the period prior to Closing which was credited to Seller at Closing. Annual Rent increases pursuant to the Leases are to be paid through the day preceding the Closing Date; provided, however, that if this transaction Closes, Buyer will

5

receive a Rent credit at Closing equal to the annual Rent increases beginning November 1, 2016 through the day preceding the Closing Date, which the parties shall Prorate for the month in which Closing occurs. Any Capital Expenditures Obligation (as defined in the Leases) of Seller, as landlord, pursuant to the Leases with respect to an annual $350 per unit allowance toward payment or reimbursement of Capital Expenditures (as defined in the Leases) made by Tenant shall be paid by Seller through December 31, 2016, with any unused portion on any Property for the year 2016 to be applied as a credit to the Consideration allocated for that Property at Closing. If this transaction Closes, percentage rent under the Leases for the year 2016 (if any) shall accrue through October 31, 2016 and shall be paid to Seller at Closing; provided that Buyer shall provide to Seller all information and documents necessary to calculate any such percentage rent no later than December 15, 2016, with such calculation to be an amount mutually agreed upon by Seller and Buyer prior to Closing.

| (c) |  | Taxes. The parties acknowledge that, pursuant to the Leases, Tenant is obligated to reimburse Seller as landlord for all Taxes and installments of special assessments of the Property. Seller shall not provide a credit to Buyer at Closing for any proration of Taxes or installments of special assessments that are due and payable in the Closing Year, unless Seller has collected money under the Leases for Taxes and has not paid a corresponding amount to the relevant taxing authority. Buyer shall provide a credit to Seller for any Taxes or installments of special assessments that are due and payable in the Closing Year that Seller as landlord has paid which are the responsibilities of Tenant pursuant to the Leases and Tenant has not yet reimbursed to Seller as landlord in accordance with the Leases. Buyer shall pay all Taxes and installments of special assessments due and payable in the Closing Year and for years prior to the Closing Year, if any remain outstanding, and shall upon request furnish evidence of such payment to Title Company. Buyer shall be solely responsible for all remaining future Taxes and installments of any special assessments. Real property tax refunds and credits received after the Closing shall belong to Buyer.

| (d) |  | Operating Expenses. The parties acknowledge that, pursuant to the Leases, Tenant is obligated to pay all Operating Expenses of the Property. The parties shall not provide any credit for the proration of such Operating Expenses. Buyer shall ensure that Tenant pays all utility charges for the Property through the Closing Date. Commencing on the Closing Date, Buyer shall pay all utility charges for the Property (excluding any utilities held in the name of Tenant).

| (e) |  | Tenant Obligations. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.2 to the contrary, if Tenant is obligated under the Leases to directly pay any Operating Expenses (including without limitation Taxes), then said items will not be prorated between the parties.

| (f) |  | Proration Statement. As soon as reasonably possible prior to Closing, Seller and Buyer shall work together in good faith to prepare a joint statement of the prorations required by this Section (“Proration Statement”), and shall deliver the Proration Statement to the Closing Agent for use in preparing the final settlement statements.

| (g) |  | Post-Closing Reconciliation. As soon as reasonably possible after Closing, but in no event more than ninety (90) days after Closing, the parties shall work in good faith to complete a reconciliation of all prorations (“Reconciliation”). If there is an error on the Proration Statement used at Closing or, if after the actual figures are available as to any items that were estimated on the Proration Statement, then the proration or apportionment shall be adjusted based on the actual amounts. As soon as reasonably possible, but in no

6

event more than 60 days after Closing, Seller shall provide to Buyer an accounting detailing all of the Operating Expenses attributable to the Closing Year that were actually paid by Seller. Either party owing the other party a sum of money based on the Reconciliation shall pay said sum to the other party within five (5) business days of the completion of the Reconciliation. Seller and Buyer shall each be responsible for the accounting and validity of billings to Tenant for those Operating Expenses incurred during each of Seller’s and Buyer’s respective periods of ownership of the Property. This subsection shall survive Closing.

4.3 Contingent Payment. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any of the Properties are sold by Buyer within twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the Consideration allocated to such Property. The Deeds shall contain a deed restriction granting Seller the right to receive such additional sum from Buyer.

Section 5. Title and Survey.

5.1Title Commitments. As soon as reasonably possible after the Contract Date, Seller shall coordinate the Title Company’s delivery to Buyer of the Title Commitments, in the amount of the Consideration. The Title Commitments shall show the condition of title to the Land and Improvements, shall name Buyer as the proposed insured, and shall include legible copies of all recorded exceptions and covenants, conditions, easements, and restrictions affecting the Property. The Title Commitments shall also contain the conditions upon which the Title Company will issue the owners title insurance policies at Closing pursuant to the Title Commitment (the “Title Policy”). However, this condition shall be deemed satisfied if the Title Policies (or any such endorsements or reinsurance and/or coinsurance) is not issued by reason of Buyer’s failing to satisfy (a) the Title Company’s routine underwriting requirements (including the “written or pre-printed requirements” set forth in the applicable commitment) for issuance thereof, or (b) any other requirements of Buyer specified by the Title Company in writing prior to the Inspection Date for issuance thereof.

5.2New Survey. Seller shall deliver to Buyer, as part of the Due Diligence Documents, a copy of the most recent surveys of the Property in Seller’s possession (the “Existing Survey”). In the event Buyer commissions new surveys of the Property (the “New Survey”), then Seller shall provide all cooperation reasonably requested by Buyer regarding the preparation of the New Surveys. Buyer shall be responsible for all costs associated with the New Surveys. The New Surveys shall be certified to Seller, Buyer, and the Title Company. Seller shall receive a signed original of the final New Surveys as soon as it is available and in any event, at or prior to Closing.

5.3Title Notice. If the Title Commitments or Existing Surveys disclose matters that are not acceptable to Buyer (“Unpermitted Exceptions”), then Buyer shall notify Seller in writing (the “Title Notice”) of Buyer’s objections within the later of (i) ten (10) days after Buyer has received both the Title Commitments and the Existing Surveys, or (ii) ten (10) days prior to the Inspection Date (the “Objection Period”). Mortgages, deeds of trust, assignment of leases and rents and Uniform Commercial Code financing statements (collectively, referred to as “Financial Encumbrances”) shall be deemed to be objected to and shall be removed prior to or at the Closing. In the event that Buyer notifies Seller of any objections within the Objection Period, then Seller shall notify Buyer in writing, within ten (10) days following the date of receipt of Buyer’s notice of such objections, that either: (a) the Unpermitted Exceptions will be, prior to Closing, removed from the Commitments, insured over by the Title Company pursuant to an endorsement to the Title Policies, or otherwise cured to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction; or (b) Seller declines to arrange to have the Unpermitted Exceptions removed, insured over, or otherwise cured. If Seller fails to deliver such written notice to Buyer within such 10-day period, then Seller shall be deemed to have declined to arrange to have the Unpermitted Exceptions removed, insured over, or

7

otherwise cured. If Seller declines to arrange to remove, insure over, or otherwise cure any of the Unpermitted Exceptions, then Buyer shall elect, through written notice to Seller within ten (10) days after Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s written declination, to: (a) terminate this Agreement and receive refund of the Earnest Money irrespective of whether any or all of the Earnest Money has “gone hard” as described in Section 3.3; or (b) waive such objections and take title subject to the Unpermitted Exceptions that Seller has declined to remove, insure over, or otherwise cure. The Closing Date shall be adjusted, if necessary, to allow for any elections allowed or required by this Section.

5.4Pre-Closing “Gap” Title Obligations. Buyer may, at or prior to Closing, notify Seller in writing (the “Gap Notice”) of any objections to title raised by the Title Company after Buyer’s receipt of the initial Title Commitments, or of any material defect shown on the New Surveys that was not disclosed on the Existing Surveys; provided that Buyer must notify the Seller of such objection to title within ten (10) days of being made aware of the existence of any such new objection. If Buyer sends a Gap Notice to the Seller, Buyer and the Seller shall have the same rights and obligations with respect to such notice as apply to a Title Notice under Section 5.3 hereof.

Section 6.Buyer’s Inspection.

6.1 Document Inspection. Buyer and Seller acknowledge that Buyer (by itself or through such agents, consultants and others as Buyer shall designate) may inspect, test and analyze the Property (provided that any inspections or testing of the Land or Improvements shall be conducted in accordance with Section 6.2 below). Seller will, within twenty (20) days after the Contract Date, deliver to Buyer complete copies of the Due Diligence Documents set forth on Exhibit 2. In addition to the Due Diligence Documents, Seller will make available for Buyer's inspection any appraisals with respect to the Property; provided, however, that said appraisals are subject to confidentiality and are limited to use for mortgage lending sources only. Buyer hereby agrees that said appraisals shall not be distributed to financing sources other than regulated financial service companies relying on the contents of such appraisals in order to provide mortgage debt. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer acknowledges and understands that some of the materials delivered by Seller have been prepared by parties other than Seller or Seller's current property manager. Seller makes no representation or warranty whatsoever, express or implied, as to the completeness, content, or accuracy of any delivered materials.

6.2 Physical Inspection. Buyer and its consultants and agents shall have the right, from time to time prior to the earlier of the Closing or termination of this Agreement, to enter upon the Property to examine the same and the condition thereof, and to conduct such investigations, inspections, tests and studies as Buyer shall determine to be reasonably necessary. Buyer agrees to conduct such activities during normal business hours to the extent practicable. Buyer agrees to pay all costs of such investigations, inspections, tests and studies and to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any claims for injury or death to persons or damage to property arising out of any action of any person or firm entering the Property on Buyer’s behalf as aforesaid (provided that for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing indemnity shall not be applicable if such claims arise from or are in connection with any such damages to the extent resulting from a pre-existing condition, unless exacerbated or adversely affected by Buyer or any of its employees, consultants, agents, prospective lenders (and their consultants) or representatives, and, in such case, only to the extent so exacerbated), which indemnity shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement without the Closing having occurred. Prior to performing any environmental investigation of the Property (other than a Phase I environmental site assessment), Buyer shall notify Seller of the name of the environmental consultant that will conduct the investigation. Buyer shall not have the right to disturb the soil at the Property, or to perform any destructive or invasive testing, without Seller’s prior written consent. In requesting any such consent, Buyer shall provide Seller with a proposed written work plan describing the investigation, the name of the contractor that will perform the investigation, evidence of insurance coverage for the contractor, and in the case of soil testing a site plan showing where the soil will

8

be disturbed. Buyer shall provide Seller, at no cost to Seller, within ten (10) days following Buyer’s receipt of same, with a complete copy of any reports related to any such environmental, soil, or destructive/invasive testing. Neither Buyer nor any of Buyer’s consultants shall release or report the findings of any tests to any state or federal agency or other party without Seller’s prior written consent.

6.3 Inspection Period; Seller's Fiduciary Out. Buyer shall have until that date which is sixty (60) days after the Contract Date (the 60 th-day being the “Inspection Date”) in which to make such investigations, inspections, tests and studies permitted herein with respect to the Property, the Due Diligence Documents, and any other thing or matter relating to the Property as Buyer reasonably deems appropriate, and, at the sole discretion of Buyer, to terminate this Agreement on or before such Inspection Date if Buyer is not, for any reason or for no reason, satisfied with the Property. If Buyer terminates this Agreement on or before the Inspection Date, then the Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further obligation to the other except as to provisions herein which are to survive termination.

6.3.1.Subject to the terms of this Section 6.3, during the period commencing on the Contract Date and continuing until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms, or the Closing, the Seller shall not, nor shall it authorize or knowingly permit its directors, officers, employees, affiliates, financial advisors, legal counsel, accountants and other agents and representatives (“Representatives”) to (i) solicit, initiate, cause, or knowingly facilitate or encourage the submission of, any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) enter into any agreement, agreement-in-principle or letter of intent with respect to or accept any Acquisition Proposal (or resolve to or publicly propose to do any of the foregoing), or (iii) participate or engage in any negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any information with respect to, any Acquisition Proposal.

6.3.2.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 6.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement, if, at any time prior to the Inspection Date, (i) Seller receives an Acquisition Proposal from a third party under circumstances in which Seller and its Representatives have complied with their obligations under this Section 6.3 and (ii) Seller’s Board of Directors determines in good faith (after consultation with Seller’s financial advisor and legal counsel) that such Acquisition Proposal is, or reasonably could lead to, a Superior Proposal, Seller may, subject to providing Buyer prior written notice (which notice shall contain a statement to the effect that the Board of Directors has made the determination required by this Section 6.3.2), participate or engage in any negotiations with such third party, or disclose or provide any non-public information or data relating to Seller to, or afford access to the properties, assets, books or records or Representatives of Seller to, any such third party and any potential financing sources of such third party, provided that the provision of any non-public information or data to such third party is pursuant to a confidentiality agreement and a copy of any such non-public information or data is delivered simultaneously to Buyer to the extent it has not previously been so furnished to Buyer.

6.3.3. In addition to any notice obligations contemplated by this Section 6.3, Seller shall as promptly as practicable (and in any event within 48 hours) notify Buyer of Seller's receipt of any Acquisition Proposal.

6.3.4.Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time prior to the Inspection Date Seller has received a Superior Proposal, Seller may terminate this Agreement and all other Purchase Agreements and enter into a definitive written agreement providing for such Superior Proposal simultaneously with the termination of this Agreement. In the event of such termination, (i) all Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer, irrespective of whether such money has “gone hard” as provided in Section 3.3, and (ii) Seller shall immediately pay to Buyer an

9

aggregate additional amount of $2,000,000 collectively with all other Purchase Agreements (the “Breakage Fee”).

6.4 Liability Insurance. Buyer agrees that it will cause it and any person accessing the Property for purposes of this inspection to be covered by not less than $2,000,000 commercial general liability insurance (with, in the case of Buyer’s coverage, a contractual liability endorsement, in support of Buyer’s indemnity obligations under this Agreement), insuring all activity and conduct of such person while exercising such right of access, and providing that Seller and its affiliates are additional insureds, issued by a licensed insurance company authorized to do business in each state in which a Property is located and otherwise reasonably acceptable to Seller.

6.5 Indemnity. Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its affiliates, members, partners, subsidiaries, shareholders, officers, directors and agents from any actually incurred loss, injury, damage, cause of action, liability, claim, lien, cost or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs (collectively, “Damages”), arising from the exercise by Buyer or its employees, consultants, agents or representatives of the right of access under this Agreement or out of any of the foregoing (provided that for the avoidance of doubt, Damages shall not be deemed to have arisen from or in connection with any such access or inspection to the extent resulting from a pre-existing condition, unless exacerbated or adversely affected by Buyer or any of its employees, consultants, agents, prospective lenders (and their consultants) or representatives, and, in such case, only to the extent so exacerbated). The indemnity in this subsection shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

6.6 Restoration. Buyer agrees at its own expense to promptly repair or restore the Property, or, at Seller’s option, to reimburse Seller for any repair or restoration costs, if any inspection or test requires or results in any damage to or alteration of the condition of the Property.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION, IF BUYER BRINGS AN ACTION AGAINST SELLER FOR AN ALLEGED BREACH OR DEFAULT BY SELLER OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, RECORDS A LIS PENDENS OR OTHERWISE ENJOINS OR RESTRICTS SELLER’S ABILITY TO SELL AND TRANSFER THE PROPERTY OR REFUSES TO CONSENT TO OR INSTRUCT RELEASE OF THE EARNEST MONEY TO SELLER IF REQUIRED BY CLOSING AGENT (EACH A “BUYER’S ACTION”), SELLER SHALL NOT BE RESTRICTED BY THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION

19

FROM BRINGING AN ACTION AGAINST BUYER SEEKING EXPUNGEMENT OR RELIEF FROM ANY IMPROPERLY FILED LIS PENDENS, INJUNCTION OR OTHER RESTRAINT, AND/OR RECOVERING FEES, COSTS AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES) WHICH SELLER MAY SUFFER OR INCUR AS A RESULT OF ANY BUYER’S ACTION BUT ONLY TO THE EXTENT THAT SELLER IS THE PREVAILING PARTY; AND THE AMOUNT OF ANY SUCH FEES, COSTS AND EXPENSES AWARDED TO SELLER SHALL BE IN ADDITION TO THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES SET FORTH HEREIN. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL, HOWEVER, BE DEEMED TO LIMIT BUYER’S LIABILITY TO SELLER FOR DAMAGES OR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF FOR BREACH OF BUYER’S INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS AS PROVIDED BELOW. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, BUYER MAY FILE A LIS PENDENS TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PRESERVE A CLAIM FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE.

12.3Attorneys’ Fees to Prevailing Party. In the event of any litigation between the parties hereto under any of the provisions of this Agreement, the non-prevailing party to such litigation agrees to pay to the prevailing party all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by the prevailing party in such litigation. The parties agree that the court presiding over the litigation shall determine whether a party is a “prevailing party,” and shall determine the reasonable amount of attorney’s fees and costs recoverable. The parties agree that the amount of attorneys’ fees and costs which may be awarded must bear a reasonable relationship to, and must be limited by the court to a reasonable amount in view of, the amount recovered by the prevailing party in such matter.

12.4 Cross-Default. A default by either party under any other Purchase Agreement or the Purchase Agreements shall automatically be deemed to be a default by such party under this Agreement and a default by either party under this Agreement shall automatically be deemed to be a default by such party under the other Purchase Agreements.

Section 13.Condemnation. If, between the Contract Date and the Closing Date, any condemnation or eminent domain proceedings are initiated or threatened that might result in the taking of any part of the Improvements or the Land or access to the Land from adjacent roadways, then Buyer at its sole discretion may elect to terminate this Agreement without cost, obligation, or liability on the part of Buyer, in which event this Agreement shall terminate all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall cease and the Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer irrespective of whether any or all of the Earnest Money has “gone hard” as described in Section 3.3. If this Agreement is not terminated, then Seller shall assign to Buyer all of Seller’s right, title, and interest in and to any award pertaining to the Property made in connection with such condemnation or eminent domain proceedings. Buyer shall notify Seller within fifteen (15) days after its receipt of written notice from Seller of such condemnation or eminent domain proceeding, whether it elects to exercise its right to terminate. If Buyer fails to notify Seller of its election within said 15-day period, such failure shall constitute an election not to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid. The Closing Date shall be adjusted, if necessary, to allow for such election.

Section 14. Damage or Destruction. Seller shall bear all risk of loss to the Property until the Closing Date. If, between the Contract Date and the Closing Date, all or any portion of the Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty and the cost to repair and restore the Property is more than $2,500,000.00, then Buyer at its sole discretion may elect to terminate this Agreement without cost, obligation, or liability on Buyer’s part, in which event all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall cease and the Earnest Money will be returned to Buyer irrespective of whether any or all of the Earnest Money has “gone hard” as described in Section 3.3. If either this Agreement is not terminable in accordance with the foregoing, or is terminable but is not terminated, then Seller shall, upon Closing, assign to Buyer all of Seller’s right, title, and interest in and to any insurance proceeds, including without limitation any rent loss insurance proceeds (except for proceeds for rent losses prior to Closing), payable as a result of

20

such damage or destruction, plus Seller shall pay to Buyer the amount of any deductible losses under such insurance policies and at Closing shall have no further repair or restoration obligations. Seller shall advise Buyer regarding the insurance policies covering such damage or destruction and the probable amount of any insurance proceeds payable as a result of such damage or destruction. Buyer shall notify Seller within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice from Seller of such damage or destruction of its election. If Buyer fails to notify Seller of its election within said 15-day period, such failure shall constitute an election not to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid. The Closing Date shall be adjusted, if necessary, to allow for such election.

Section 15.Notices. Wherever any notice or other communication is required or permitted hereunder, such notice or other communication shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand, by nationally-recognized overnight express delivery service, or by electronic “email” transfer (conditioned on delivery of a copy of such notice by nationally-recognized overnight express delivery service, which notice shall be deposited for delivery within one business day after delivery of such electronic “email” transfer) to the addresses set out below or at such other addresses as are specified by written notice delivered in accordance herewith:

Section 16.Condition of Property.

| 16.1. No Warranties. THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE SELLER AND BUYER WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY AND THE SALE THEREOF IS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT. THE PARTIES ARE NOT BOUND BY ANY AGREEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS, PROVISIONS, CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES (WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL AND WHETHER MADE BY SELLER OR ANY AGENT, EMPLOYEE, MEMBER, OFFICER OR PRINCIPAL OF SELLER OR ANY OTHER PARTY) OTHER THAN AS ARE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH AND STIPULATED IN THIS AGREEMENT. WITHOUT IN ANY MANNER LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES HAVE FULLY INSPECTED THE PROPERTY OR WILL BE PROVIDED WITH AN ADEQUATE OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO, ARE OR WILL BE FULLY FAMILIAR WITH THE FINANCIAL AND PHYSICAL (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ENVIRONMENTAL) CONDITION THEREOF, AND THAT THE PROPERTY HAS BEEN PURCHASED BY BUYER IN AN "AS IS" AND "WHERE IS" CONDITION AND WITH ALL EXISTING DEFECTS (PATENT AND LATENT) AS A RESULT OF SUCH INSPECTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS AND NOT IN RELIANCE ON ANY AGREEMENT, UNDERSTANDING, CONDITION, WARRANTY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF HABITABILITY, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE) OR REPRESENTATION MADE BY SELLER OR ANY AGENT, EMPLOYEE, MEMBER, OFFICER OR PRINCIPAL OF SELLER OR ANY OTHER PARTY (EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY ELSEWHERE PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT) AS TO THE FINANCIAL OR PHYSICAL (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ENVIRONMENTAL) CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY OR THE AREAS SURROUNDING THE PROPERTY, OR AS TO ANY OTHER MATTER WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION AS TO ANY PERMITTED USE THEREOF, THE ZONING CLASSIFICATION THEREOF OR COMPLIANCE THEREOF WITH FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL LAWS, AS TO THE INCOME OR EXPENSE IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, OR AS TO ANY OTHER MATTER IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY ELSEWHERE PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER SELLER, NOR ANY AGENT, MEMBER, OFFICER, EMPLOYEE OR PRINCIPAL OF SELLER NOR ANY OTHER PARTY ACTING ON BEHALF OF SELLER HAS MADE OR SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE ANY SUCH AGREEMENT, CONDITION, REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL SURVIVE CLOSING AND DELIVERY OF THE DEED, AND SHALL BE DEEMED INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE AND MADE A PART OF ALL DOCUMENTS DELIVERED BY SELLER TO BUYER IN CONNECTION WITH THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY.

| 16.2. Change of Conditions. Buyer shall accept the Property at Closing in the same condition as the Property is as of the Contract Date, as such condition shall have changed by reason of wear and tear and natural deterioration and, subject to Sections 14 and 15 hereof, condemnation or damage by fire or other casualty. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer specifically acknowledges that the fact that any portion of the Property may not be in working order or condition at the Closing Date by reason of wear and tear and natural deterioration or damage by fire or other casualty, or by reason of its present

22

condition, shall not relieve Buyer of its obligation to complete closing under this Agreement and pay the full Consideration. Seller has no obligation to make any repairs or replacements required by reason of wear and tear and natural deterioration or condemnation or fire or other casualty, but may, at its option and its cost (including the use of insurance proceeds as herein provided), make any such repairs and replacements prior to the Closing Date.

| 16.3. Condition of Delivery. Seller has no obligation to deliver the Property in a "broom clean" condition, and at Closing Seller may leave in the Property all items of personal property and equipment, partitions and debris as are now presently therein and as would accumulate in the normal course of operating and maintaining the Property.

| 16.4. Release. WITHOUT LIMITING THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 16.1 ABOVE AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, BUYER, FOR ITSELF AND ITS AGENTS, AFFILIATES, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, HEREBY RELEASES, ACQUITS AND FOREVER DISCHARGES SELLER AND (AS THE CASE MAY BE) SELLER'S OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MEMBERS, SHAREHOLDERS, TRUSTEES, PARTNERS, EMPLOYEES, MANAGERS, AGENTS AND AFFILIATES FROM ANY AND ALL RIGHTS, CLAIMS, DEMANDS, CAUSES OF ACTIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES, COSTS AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND DISBURSEMENTS WHETHER SUIT IS INSTITUTED OR NOT) WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, LIQUIDATED OR CONTINGENT (HEREINAFTER COLLECTIVELY CALLED THE "CLAIMS"), WHICH BUYER HAS OR MAY HAVE IN THE FUTURE, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO (i) ANY DEFECTS (PATENT OR LATENT), ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE DESIGN OR CONSTRUCTION OF THE PROPERTY WHETHER THE SAME ARE THE RESULT OF NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE, OR (ii) ANY OTHER CONDITIONS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ENVIRONMENTAL AND OTHER PHYSICAL CONDITIONS, AFFECTING THE PROPERTY WHETHER THE SAME ARE A RESULT OF NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING SPECIFICALLY, BUT WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY CLAIM FOR INDEMNIFICATION OR CONTRIBUTION ARISING UNDER THE ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 1), WHETHER ARISING BASED ON EVENTS THAT OCCURRED BEFORE, DURING, OR AFTER SELLER’S PERIOD OF OWNERSHIP OF THE PROPERTY AND WHETHER BASED ON THEORIES OF INDEMNIFICATION, CONTRIBUTION OR OTHERWISE. THE RELEASE SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SPECIFICALLY INCLUDES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY CLAIMS UNDER THE ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 1) OR UNDER THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT OF 1990, AS ANY OF THOSE LAWS MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME AND ANY REGULATIONS, ORDERS, RULES OF PROCEDURES OR GUIDELINES PROMULGATED IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH LAWS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY ARE IN EXISTENCE ON THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BUYER HAS BEEN REPRESENTED BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL OF BUYER'S SELECTION AND BUYER IS GRANTING THIS RELEASE OF ITS OWN VOLITION AND AFTER CONSULTATION WITH BUYER'S COUNSEL. THE RELEASE SET FORTH HEREIN DOES NOT APPLY TO (i) THE REPRESENTATIONS OF SELLER EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, (ii) ANY INDEMNITY OR WARRANTY EXPRESSLY MADE BY SELLER IN ANY DOCUMENT DELIVERED BY SELLER AT CLOSING, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTY MADE AS TO THE CONDITION OF TITLE IN THE DEEDS, (iii) ANY FRAUD, INTENTIONAL MISREPRESENTATION OR INTENTIONAL CONCEALMENT OF SELLER, OR (iv) ANY THIRD PARTY LIABILITY CLAIM. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BUYER HAS CAREFULLY REVIEWED THIS SECTION 16.4 AND DISCUSSED ITS IMPORT WITH LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SUBSECTION ARE A MATERIAL PART OF THIS AGREEMENT.

23

| 16.5. Effect of Disclaimers. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Consideration has been negotiated to take into account that the Property is being sold subject to the provisions of this Section 16 and that Seller would have charged a higher purchase price if the provisions in this Section 16 were not agreed upon by Buyer.

Section 17.Miscellaneous.

| 17.1. Governing Law; Headings; Rules of Construction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State in which the Land is located, without reference to the conflicts of laws or choice of law provisions thereof. The titles of sections and subsections herein have been inserted as a matter of convenience of reference only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of the terms or provisions herein. All references herein to the singular shall include the plural, and vice versa. The parties agree that this Agreement is the result of negotiation by the parties, each of whom was represented by counsel, and thus, this Agreement shall not be construed against the maker thereof. The parties each consent to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts of North Dakota and irrevocably waive any and all objections they may have to such jurisdiction and venue for any reason whatsoever.

| 17.2. Assignment. Neither Buyer nor Seller shall assign any of their rights hereunder without the prior written consent of the other. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon advance written notice to Seller and the Closing Agent, but without the prior written consent of the Seller, Buyer may assign all of its rights hereunder to one or more entities in which Buyer has a direct ownership interest of at least fifty-one percent (51%). Buyer acknowledges and agrees that an assignment to such an entity under this Section 17.2 will not release Buyer from any liability or obligation under this Agreement, and that Buyer shall remain liable to Seller after such assignment as a principal and not as a surety or guarantor.

| 17.3. Brokers. Buyer and Seller each warrant and represent to the other that such representing and warranting party has not employed or made any commitment to a broker or agent (including without limitation any real estate or securities broker, agent, dealer, or salesperson) in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby, except for Buyer’s Broker and Seller’s Broker. Each party agrees to indemnify and hold the other harmless from any loss or cost suffered or incurred by it as a result of the indemnifying parties’ representation herein being untrue. Seller shall be responsible for the payment of any resulting fee or expenses relating to the Seller’s Broker. Buyer shall be responsible for the payment of any resulting fee or expenses relating to the Buyer’s Broker.

| 17.4. No Waiver. Neither the failure of either party to exercise any power given such party hereunder or to insist upon strict compliance by the other party with its obligations hereunder, nor any custom or practice of the parties at variance with the terms hereof shall constitute a waiver of either party’s right to demand exact compliance with the terms hereof, except the Closing of this Agreement shall constitute waiver of all conditions to Closing except to the extent otherwise agreed in writing at Closing.

| 17.5. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the Property, and no representations, inducements, promises or agreements, oral or otherwise, between the parties not embodied herein or incorporated herein by reference shall be of any force or effect.

| 17.6. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

24

| 17.7. Amendments. No amendment to this Agreement shall be binding on any of the parties hereof unless such amendment is in writing and is executed by the party against whom enforcement of such amendment is sought.

| 17.8. Possession. Possession of the Property shall be given by Seller to Buyer at Closing.

| 17.9. Date for Performance. If the time period by which any right, option or election provided under this Agreement must be exercised, or by which any act required hereunder must be performed, or by which the Closing must be held, expires on a Saturday, Sunday or legal or bank holiday, then such time period shall be automatically extended through the close of business on the next regular business day.

| 17.10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

| 17.11. Time of the Essence. Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement and each and every term and condition hereof.

| 17.12. Severability. This Agreement is intended to be performed in accordance with, and only to the extent permitted by, all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations, and is intended, and shall for all purposes be deemed to be, a single, integrated document setting forth all of the agreements and understandings of the parties hereto, and superseding all prior negotiations, understandings and agreements of such parties. If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall for any reason and to any extent be held to be invalid or unenforceable, then such term or provision shall be ignored, and to the maximum extent possible, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, but without giving effect to such term or provision.

| 17.13. Survival. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any provision contained herein shall be cancelled or merged with any deed or other instrument on, as of, at or by reason of the Closing, and the covenants and obligations of the parties shall survive the Closing.

| 17.14. Further Assurances. After the Closing, Buyer and Seller shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver (or cause to be executed, acknowledged, and delivered) such instruments and take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary or advisable to carry out their respective obligations under this Agreement and under any exhibit, document, certificate, or other instrument delivered pursuant thereto.

| 17.15. Seller 1031 Exchange. Buyer and Seller agree to cooperate with each other for the purpose of a possible tax deferred exchange pursuant to Section 1031 of the Code. Neither party shall incur any additional liability or financial obligation as a consequence of the other party’s possible exchange, and the exchanging party agrees to indemnify and hold the other party harmless from any liability that may arise from the exchanging party’s participation therein.

| 17.16. Exhibits. Attached hereto and forming an integral part of this Agreement are multiple exhibits, all of which are hereby incorporated into this Agreement as fully as if the contents thereof were set out in full herein at each point of reference thereto.

| 17.17. Waiver of Jury Trial. BUYER AND SELLER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENTS CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN

25

CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ANY ACTIONS OF EITHER PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED IN ANY MANNER WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PROPERTY (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY ACTION TO RESCIND OR CANCEL THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY CLAIMS OR DEFENSES ASSERTING THAT THIS AGREEMENT WAS FRAUDULENTLY INDUCED OR IS OTHERWISE VOID OR VOIDABLE). THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR EACH PARTY TO ENTER INTO AND ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT AND THE DOCUMENTS TO BE DELIVERED BY THE OTHER PARTY AT CLOSING, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING OR TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. Each party hereby authorizes and empowers the other to file this Section and this Agreement with the clerk or judge of any court of competent jurisdiction as a written consent to waiver of jury trial.

Section 18.Closing Agent Duties and Disputes.

18.1 Other Duties of Closing Agent. Closing Agent shall not be bound in any way by any other agreement or contract between Seller and Buyer, whether or not Closing Agent has knowledge thereof. Closing Agent’s only duties and responsibilities with respect to the Earnest Money shall be to hold, in trust, the Earnest Money and other documents delivered to it as agent and to dispose of the Earnest Money and such documents in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Closing Agent shall have no responsibility to protect the Earnest Money and shall not be responsible for any failure to demand, collect or enforce any obligation with respect to the Earnest Money or for any diminution in value of the Earnest Money from any cause, other than Closing Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Closing Agent may, at the expense of Seller and Buyer, consult with counsel and accountants in connection with its duties under this Agreement. Closing Agent shall not be liable to the parties hereto for any act taken, suffered or permitted by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of counsel and accountants. Closing Agent shall not be obligated to take any action hereunder that may, in its reasonable judgment, result in any liability to it unless Closing Agent shall have been furnished with reasonable indemnity satisfactory in amount, form and substance to Closing Agent.

18.2 Disputes. Closing Agent is acting as a stakeholder only with respect to the Earnest Money. If, after the Inspection Date, there is any dispute as to whether Closing Agent is obligated to deliver the Earnest Money or as to whom the Earnest Money is to be delivered, Closing Agent shall not make any delivery, but shall hold the Earnest Money until receipt by Closing Agent of an authorization in writing, signed by all the parties having an interest in the dispute, directing the disposition of the Earnest Money, or, in the absence of authorization, Closing Agent shall hold the Earnest Money until the final determination of the rights of the parties in an appropriate proceeding. Closing Agent shall have no responsibility to determine the authenticity or validity of any notice, instruction, instrument, document or other item delivered to it, and it shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with any written notice, direction or instruction given to it under this Agreement and believed by it to be authentic. If written authorization is not given, or proceedings for a determination are not begun, within 30 days after the date scheduled for the closing of title and diligently continued, Closing Agent may, but is not required to, bring an appropriate action or proceeding for leave to deposit the Earnest Money with a court of the State of Colorado pending a determination. Closing Agent shall be reimbursed for all costs and expenses of any action or proceeding, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred in its capacity as Closing Agent, by the party determined not to be entitled to the Earnest Money. Upon making delivery of the Earnest Money in the manner provided in this Agreement, Closing Agent shall have no further liability hereunder. In no event shall Closing Agent be under any duty to institute, defend or participate in any proceeding that may arise between Seller and Buyer in connection with the Earnest Money.

26

18.3 Reports. Closing Agent shall be responsible for the timely filing of any reports or returns required pursuant to the provisions of Section 6045(e) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (and any similar reports or returns required under any state or local laws) in connection with the closing of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. This provision shall survive the Closing.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto has caused this Agreement to be executed and sealed by its duly authorized signatory, effective as of the day and year first above written.
