Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 17, 2012, Newcastle Investment Corp., through its wholly owned subsidiaries (Newcastle), entered into agreements pursuant to which Newcastle acquired the right to purchase eight senior housing assets (the AL Portfolio) from the sellers named in the Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement, amended as of July 16, 2012. The AL Portfolio comprises more than 800 beds in senior living facilities located in California, Oregon, Utah, Arizona and Idaho.
On July 18, 2012, Newcastle completed the acquisition of the AL Portfolio for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $143 million plus related expenses. Newcastle funded the purchase price with an approximately $55 million equity investment and an approximately $88 million non-recourse credit facility with Fannie Mae. The financing currently has a weighted average interest rate of 3.45%, matures in seven years and is secured, among other things, by a first lien security interest in each of the properties comprising the AL Portfolio. Newcastle has retained an affiliate of its manager to manage the properties. Pursuant to a management agreement for each property, Newcastle will pay a fee equal to 6% of the properties gross income (as defined in each agreement) for the first two years and 7% thereafter (and will reimburse the manager for certain property-level expenses).
The foregoing summary of the agreements does not purport to be a complete description and is qualified in its entirety by the agreements themselves, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, 10.8, 10.9 and 10.10 and are incorporated herein by reference. In accordance with Instruction 2 to Item 601 of Regulation S-K, Newcastle is filing only one management agreement related to the AL Portfolio properties as Exhibit 10.10. The other management agreements are substantially identical in all material respects except as to the parties thereto.

ARTICLE II
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SELLERS
In recognition of the as-is basis of this transaction, the Sellers are providing the limited representations and warranties contained in this Article II. Each Seller represents and warrants to the Purchasers, jointly and severally, that, except as set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Disclosure Letter dated February 27, 2012 attached hereto (the Disclosure Letter) and, with respect to Immaterial Contracts, Terminable Contracts and the Supplemental Financial Information only, as revised by Section 4.20 in the supplemental letter (the Supplemental Letter) to be delivered by the Sellers to the Purchasers on or before March 2, 2012 (the Update Date), and except to the extent such representations and warranties are specifically made as of a particular date (in which case such representations and warranties will be true and correct as of such date) the representations and warranties contained in this Article II (i) are true and correct as of the Effective Date (except with respect to any representations and warranties (x) in Section 2.7 regarding Immaterial Contracts and Terminable Contracts and (y) in Section 2.20 regarding Supplemental Financial Information), (ii) with respect to any representations and warranties (x) in Section 2.7 regarding Immaterial Contracts and Terminable Contracts and (y) in Section 2.20 regarding Supplemental Financial Information, are true and correct as of the Update Date, and (iii) will be true and correct as of the Closing Date as though made as of the Closing Date. The Disclosure Letter is arranged in sections and subsections corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections and subsections contained in this Agreement to which such sections and subsections of the Disclosure Letter relate.

Any fact or item disclosed on any section of the Disclosure Letter shall not be deemed by reason only of such inclusion, to be material and shall not be employed as a point of reference in determining any standard of materiality under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any reference in this Agreement to knowledge of the Sellers shall be deemed to mean the actual knowledge of the individuals listed on Exhibit 2.0 after due inquiry.

(a) The Sellers shall, upon reasonable prior notice from one or more of the Purchasers not less than forty-eight (48) hours prior to such requested access, afford to the Purchasers and their counsel, accountants, environmental consultants, engineers, appraisers and other authorized representatives (collectively, the Purchasers Representatives) reasonable access to Books and Records and all other information in the Sellers possession or reasonable control (other than appraisal reports, but including any surveys for the Real Property) in any way relating to the Assets and/or the Facilities, which the Sellers may at the Purchasers option provide via electronic copy or make available for inspection at the corporate office or at the Facilities, subject to Section 4.3(c), and which information the Sellers, upon such prior notice, shall discuss telephonically with the Purchasers Representatives; provided, however, that the Sellers shall not be required to provide via electronic copy any Books and Records or other documents located at the Facilities that are not in electronic form or reasonably practicably converted to electronic form.

(c) Prior to the Effective Date, the Sellers notified the executive director of each Facility of the pending sale of such Facility to the Purchasers and instructed such executive director to cooperate with the Purchasers and to treat the pending sale with the utmost confidentiality. From the Effective Date through the Closing Date, the Purchasers and the Purchasers Representatives shall have the opportunity and right upon forty-eight (48) hours prior notice to the Sellers and during normal business hours to enter upon the Real Property and to perform and complete, at the Purchasers sole expense, their due diligence review, examination and inspection of all matters pertaining to their acquisition of the Assets, including inspection of the Real Property, the Leases, Residency Agreements, the Inventory, the Books and Records and the Personal Property; provided that the Sellers are entitled to have a representative (either the Facilitys executive director or a designated person from the corporate office) present during the Purchasers or the Purchasers Representatives visits and in all meetings, calls or other contacts or communications with the Sellers personnel, and such access shall include the right to meet with the executive directors and the department heads of nursing, maintenance, marketing and food prior to and after March 31, 2012 (the Notification Date) and all other personnel after the Notification Date, subject to the Purchasers obligation to comply with the confidentiality provisions set forth in this Agreement.

27
Facilities or the Residents or unreasonably interfere with or disturb any Resident. To the extent of any damage caused by the Purchasers or the Purchasers Representatives to any Facility, the Purchasers shall promptly restore such Facility to its condition immediately preceding such inspections and examinations, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and shall keep each Facility free and clear of any mechanics liens or materialmens liens arising as a result such inspections and investigations.
(d) The Sellers shall approve any request for a physical inspection or examination of any Facility (and shall be deemed to have approved the same) so long as (i) the Purchasers shall have provided to the Seller of such Facility not less than forty-eight (48) hours prior notice of the same (which notice may be given telephonically on a Business Day); (ii) the Purchasers shall have delivered to the Sellers a certificate of insurance showing that the Purchasers maintain a commercial general liability insurance policy having a combined liability limit of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) and property damage limits of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) and (iii) such proposed inspection or examination shall not unreasonably interfere with such Facilitys operations.

Other than sales of food and supplies in the ordinary course of business, the Sellers shall not sell, lease or otherwise dispose of or distribute, or permit the creation or imposition of any Liens (except for Permitted Liens) on, any of the Assets or properties related thereto or necessary for operation of the Facilities; provided, however, the Sellers may (i) lease portions of the Facilities to Residents and tenants pursuant to agreements in the forms of Residency Agreements and Leases, respectively, provided to the Purchasers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and (ii) dispose of the Inventory in the ordinary course of business so long as the Sellers restock and replenish such Inventory consumed or used during the term of this Agreement with Inventory of comparable quality in accordance with the Sellers prior practices.
Section 4.7 Further Documentation. Pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement, the Sellers agree that for a two (2) year period of time following the Closing, upon reasonable request by the Purchasers, the Sellers will do, execute, acknowledge, and deliver, or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged, and delivered, all such further acts, deeds, assignments, transfers, conveyances and assurances as may be reasonably required, without enlarging or extending any liability of the Sellers beyond what is otherwise contemplated by this Agreement in any manner and without requiring the expenditure of funds by the Sellers, in order to more fully assign, grant, transfer, convey, assure and confirm to the Purchasers, or to their successors and assigns, or for aiding and assisting in collecting and reducing to possession, any or all of the Assets to be sold to the Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement or transitioning the operations of the Facilities to the Purchasers.
Section 4.8 Title Insurance and Surveys.
(a) Prior to the Effective Date, the Sellers have provided to the Purchasers title commitments for each Real Property (collectively, the Title Commitments), issued by Lawyers Title Insurance Company (the Title Company), which Title Commitments contain commitments of the Title Company to issue to the Purchasers ALTA forms of owners title insurance policies insuring fee title of the Purchasers in such Real Property, together with legible copies of all recorded exceptions to title referred to therein. Each Title Commitment shall be in the amount allocated to the Real Property as set forth in Section 1.7 of the Disclosure Letter. Attached hereto as Exhibit 4.8(a) is a schedule of (i) the Title Commitments (the Initial Commitments) and (ii) each survey (the Initial Surveys) for each Real Property provided by the Sellers or obtained by the Purchasers.
(b) In the event that any update to any Initial Commitment or Initial Survey prior to or on the Closing Date for any Real Property reveals any new matter not previously shown or disclosed on such Initial Commitment or such Initial Survey (each, a New Title Matter), the Purchasers shall have the right to approve or disapprove in writing and in their reasonable discretion such New Title Matter within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the update to the Initial Commitment or Initial Survey, as applicable (which period may extend beyond the scheduled Closing and the Purchasers shall have the right to extend the Closing Date, if necessary, in accordance with the terms of this
29
Section 4.8), with any such notice of disapproval specifying the New Title Matter to which the Purchasers object (such notice being referred to herein as the Title Objection Notice). The failure of the Purchasers to disapprove any New Title Matter within said ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed a waiver by the Purchasers of any right to object to such New Title Matter and such New Title Matter shall be deemed approved by the Purchasers and shall be considered a Permitted Lien. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchasers shall not have the right to disapprove any of the following, all of which (together with all matters deemed approved by Purchasers pursuant to terms hereof) shall be deemed to be Permitted Liens hereunder: (A) matters created or consented to in a separate written consent by the Purchasers, (B) the Assumed Liabilities (including the Assumed Debt and Assumed Debt Documents), (C) all liens of real estate taxes, assessments, water rates, water meter charges, water frontage charges and sewer taxes, rents and charges, if any, provided that such items are not due and payable and are apportioned as provided in this Agreement and/or (D) any matter reflected in any Initial Commitment (excluding any lien securing payment or repayment of a fixed or readily determinable amount other than any lien securing any Assumed Debt, which amount shall be paid by the Seller, and such lien shall be released, at Closing) or any Initial Survey. If the Purchasers deliver a Title Objection Notice to the Sellers within the above-described ten (10) Business Day period, the Sellers shall have ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Title Objection Notice in which to send the Purchasers a written notice (the Title Objection Response Notice) informing the Purchasers of the New Title Matters set forth in the Title Objection Notice that the Sellers will agree to cure prior to the Closing Date (as the same may be extended as provided herein). The Closing Date may be extended by the Purchasers or the Sellers to accommodate the notice and cure periods contemplated herein, provided that the Closing Date shall not be extended by the Sellers for a period of more than thirty (30) days for the purposes of curing any New Title Matter, and if the Sellers are unable after using commercially reasonable efforts during such period to cure any New Title Matter to which the Purchasers have objected and the Sellers agreed to cure, the Sellers shall be deemed to have elected not to cure such New Title Matter. If the Sellers refuse to agree to cure any New Title Matter set forth in the Title Objection Notice, the Purchasers shall have ten (10) Business Days after (i) receipt of the Title Objection Response Notice or (ii) the expiration of such thirty (30) day period if the Sellers have not cured any New Title Matter that the Sellers agreed to cure within said thirty (30) day period, as applicable, in which to advise the Sellers in writing of the Purchasers election (x) to waive the New Title Matters to which the Purchasers objected but the Sellers either refused to cure or could not cure and to proceed to Closing or (y) to terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to the Purchasers and the Parties shall have no further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement (other than obligations that shall survive the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof). If the Purchasers do not terminate this Agreement pursuant to the preceding sentence, then all New Title Matters appearing in the Title Objection Notice that Sellers either did not agree to cure (as set forth in the Title Objection Response Notice) or could not cure within said thirty (30) day period shall be deemed Permitted Liens. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sellers shall be required to (x) use commercially reasonable efforts to cure any matter set forth in any Title Objection Notice and (y) pay and remove (or cause to be paid and removed), at Closing, any lien of a fixed or readily determinable amount from the proceeds of the Purchase Price. The Purchasers agree that the Sellers may cure an objectionable matter by causing the Title Company to remove the same as an exception in the applicable Title Policy or
30
affirmatively insure over such matter, provided that such affirmative insurance shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Purchasers and any lender of the Purchasers and sufficient, in the Purchasers reasonable judgment, to adequately address the Purchasers and any lenders concerns with respect to such matter.
(c) The title insurance policies issued to the Purchasers as of the Closing shall insure the fee simple interest of the Purchasers in the Real Property, subject to only the standard preprinted exceptions (unless the Purchasers pay for extended coverage and deliver to the Title Company the surveys necessary to remove the survey exceptions, in which case the standard preprinted exceptions shall not appear in the Title Policies) and the Permitted Liens (each a Title Policy and collectively the Title Policies). The Sellers shall execute affidavits, gap indemnities, no change affidavits for the surveys (to the extent applicable) and other customary agreements as reasonably requested by the Title Company to cause the Title Company to issue the Title Policies and any extended coverage.
(d) The Sellers shall permit the Purchasers and the Purchasers Representatives to conduct surveys of the Property prior to the Notification Date at the Purchasers expense and subject to Section 4.3.
(e) The Sellers have provided to the Purchasers prior to the Effective Date copies of any Phase I or Phase II environmental assessments or other environmental assessments in the Sellers possession or reasonable control and conducted for any of the Assets.

Section 4.10 Financial Information and Audit Assistance. During the term of this Agreement, the Sellers shall deliver to the Purchasers monthly individual Facility income statements not later than the end of the next succeeding calendar month and updated rent rolls not later than the twentieth (20th) day of the next succeeding calendar month. After Closing, on not less than fourteen (14) Business Days prior written notice from the Purchasers, the Sellers agree to provide the Purchasers auditors sufficient access to information and personnel at the Sellers corporate office to obtain all of the information they reasonably require to prepare audited financial statements of the Facilities for fiscal years 2008 through 2011 and comparable unaudited interim financial statements from January 1, 2012 through the Closing Date including access to the Sellers corporate level books and records. The Sellers also agree to cause an executive officer of the Sellers with knowledge concerning the financial affairs of the Facilities to execute and deliver a representation letter to the Purchasers auditors with respect to all financial information delivered to the Purchasers and their auditors, in a form and substance substantially similar to what would have been executed and delivered to the auditors had the Sellers been preparing audited financial statements for such time periods with respect to the Facilities, subject to such exceptions as may be required by such executive officer in order to provide such representation letter.
31
Section 4.11 PTO Pay. The Sellers shall credit to the Purchasers on the Closing Statement, as of the Closing Date for all earned and accrued paid vacation, sick or personal pay or other paid timeoff of all Transitioned Employees being conveyed on the Closing Date (collectively, PTO). The Sellers shall deliver to the Purchasers a list of PTO of Transitioned Employees employed at a Facility or employed at a regional corporate level within five (5) days prior to the Closing for such Facility (the PTO List), which shall include all PTO for Transitioned Employees of the applicable Facilities (i) as of the most recent pay period preceding the Closing Date and (ii) projected PTO as of the Closing Date, which shall assume no further vacation or sick days for all Transitioned Employees except for known scheduled vacation. The PTO List shall list all PTO of all Transitioned Employees, including the method of calculation of the PTO and the dollar value thereof to the Transitioned Employees to whom the amounts are potentially owed. The Purchasers shall thereafter be responsible for all such PTO to all such Transitioned Employees to the extent of the credit received from the Sellers at the Closing, and the amount of such PTO shall be subject to the post-Closing reconciliation process described in Section 9.6 below.
Section 4.12 No Solicitation.
(a) Each of the Sellers and Bowen shall not, nor shall any of them authorize or permit any of their respective directors, partners, managers, officers, employees or any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other advisor, agent or representative retained by them in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the Seller Representatives) on the Sellers or Bowens behalf to, directly or indirectly through another person or entity, (i) solicit, initiate, cause, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Proposal or (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding or enter into any agreement with respect to, any Proposal, or furnish to any person or entity any information in connection with or in furtherance of any Proposal. Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that any violation of the restrictions set forth in the preceding sentence by any Seller Representative shall be a breach of this Section 4.12(a) by the Sellers and Bowen. The Sellers and Bowen shall, and shall instruct the Seller Representatives to, immediately cease and after the Hard Date cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any person or entity conducted heretofore with respect to any Proposal and after the Hard Date request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished.
(b) In addition to the obligations of the Sellers and Bowen set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section 4.12, after the Hard Date the Sellers and Bowen shall promptly advise the Purchasers orally and in writing of any request for information or other inquiry that the Sellers or Bowen reasonably believe could lead to any Proposal, the terms and conditions of any such request, Proposal or inquiry (including any changes thereto) and the identity of the person or entity making any such request, Proposal or inquiry. After the Hard Date the Sellers and Bowen shall promptly keep the Purchasers fully informed of the status and details (including any change to the terms thereof) of any such request, Proposal or inquiry.
32
(c) For purposes of this Section 4.12, Proposal means any inquiry, proposal or offer, whether or not conditional and whether or not withdrawn, (a) for a merger, consolidation, recapitalization, acquisition transaction or other business combination involving any or all of the Sellers or (b) to acquire in any manner, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the aggregate equity interests of the Sellers, or that represent 10% or more of the total assets of the Sellers, other than as contemplated in this Agreement.
Section 4.13 Final Cost Report. The Sellers shall prepare and file any and all final cost reports for each Facility as and to the extent required by any Governmental Authority, Government Program or third party payor for the time period for which each of the Sellers was the operator or licensee of such Facility within the time frame required by Applicable Law for each Facility for which such a report should be prepared, but no later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after the Closing Date for such Facility, it being understood and agreed that it is the intent of the Parties that there shall be no interruption in the payments due to the Purchasers as a result of the failure of the Sellers to timely file such final cost reports.
Section 4.14 Employment Records; Resident Records. Except as may be prohibited by Applicable Law, the Sellers shall make available to the Purchasers the Sellers books and records relating to all employees of each Seller, including any and all records or written documents relating to performance reviews, performance improvement plans, statements of disciplinary actions taken, and all other information maintained in such employees personnel files (collectively, Employee Records). At the Closing, except as may be prohibited by Applicable Law, the Sellers shall provide copies to the Purchasers of all Employee Records for the Transitioned Employees. Following the Closing, the Sellers shall have the obligation to (i) remove and retain all Employee Records for all employees who are not Transitioned Employees and (ii) remove and retain all records relating to all prior Residents of the Facilities for which the Closing is occurring who were not residing therein on the Closing Date therefor unless the same are required to remain at the Facilities after the Closing in order for the Purchasers to comply with Applicable Law.
Section 4.15 Absence of Certain Changes or Events. The Sellers will not cause or permit any of the following with respect to the employees at the Facilities: any new bonus, percentage compensation, service award or other like benefit or any increase in the compensation payable or to become payable by the Sellers to any of their respective employees (except compensation granted to new employees who are hired in the ordinary course of business and then only upon terms consistent with other employees having comparable duties and experience), any change in the method of calculating any presently existing bonus, percentage compensation, service award or other like benefit, granted, made or accrued to or to the credit of any of the employees or agents of the Sellers or any increase in any employee welfare, insurance, pension, retirement or similar payment or arrangement made or agreed to by any Seller pursuant to existing welfare, pension and retirement Employee Benefit Plans and arrangements, deferred compensation, or other Employee Benefit Plans. In no event shall the limitations contained in this Section 4.15 extend beyond the Closing Deadline Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.15, the Sellers and BPMSL retain the right to pay as of the Closing longevity bonuses to employees.
33
Section 4.16 Key Employees. Without the prior written consent of the Purchasers (such consent not to be unreasonable withheld or delayed), the Sellers shall cause BPMSL to not, from the Notification Date through the Closing Date, terminate the employment of any of the employees listed in Exhibit 4.16, which exhibit shall be delivered by the Purchasers on or prior to the Notification Date (the Key Employees). The list of Key Employees may not include the Retained Employees. The Sellers shall promptly notify the Purchasers of any resignation of any such Key Employees and after the Notification Date shall not hire any replacement without the consent of the Purchasers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Purchasers shall pay all fees related to filings made with the Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice under the Hart Scott Rodino Act.
(b) Until all Licensing Approvals are obtained, the Sellers shall take all actions reasonably necessary and required to facilitate the efforts of the Purchasers and the Purchasers Representatives to obtain the Licensing Approvals, including (i) providing the Purchasers with cooperation, documentation and information, which cooperation shall include:
(i) directing the executive directors and outside consultants (including causing the participation of the executive directors of each Facility located in California in all Component II sessions with the California Department of Social Services) (A) to reasonably cooperate with any cooperation, documentation and information requests (to the extent of information and documents in the Sellers possession), from the Purchasers or the Purchasers Representatives received in connection with the completion by the Purchasers of
46
the applications for the Licensing Approvals; (B) responding to screening questions or other inquiries by Governmental Authorities related to their applications for the Licensing Approvals; (C) providing the Purchasers with copies of the Sellers initial licensure applications and most recent renewal applications with respect to each of the Facilities and the Business; and (D) providing all other information necessary to obtain the Licensing Approvals, including the information that is the subject of Section 4.3 provided such information is in the Sellers possession;
(ii) executing documents (including notices or letters to the appropriate Governmental Authority) and/or taking such actions as may be necessary in connection with the assignment of any Medicaid or other third party payor provider agreements and contracts in effect with respect to the Facilities or the issuance to the Purchasers or the Purchasers Representatives of new Medicaid or other third party payor provider agreements or contracts for Facilities;
(iii) correcting (at the Purchasers reasonable direction) or permitting the Purchasers or the Purchasers Representatives, without unreasonably interfering with normal business operations, to correct on the Purchasers behalf and at the Sellers expense any outstanding deficiencies (whether physical plant or operational deficiencies), if and to the extent such correction is required by any Governmental Authority as a condition to the issuance of the Licensing Approvals;
(iv) permitting and promptly providing access to site visits and inspections by, and reasonably cooperating with, the Purchasers and the Purchasers Representatives (including any experts or consultants) and permitting inspections (preliminary or otherwise) at the Facilities by, and reasonably cooperating with, Governmental Authorities or experts or any representatives thereof (including any inspections to determine the compliance of any Facility with all fire safety codes and assisted living physical requirements), as necessary;
(v) if requested by the Purchasers, reasonably cooperating with the Purchasers and the Purchasers Representatives to obtain approval by the applicable Governmental Authorities to enter into Interim Operating Agreements; and
(vi) in addition to the resident notices and relinquishment notices contemplated by Sections 6.4 and 6.5, providing such other notices as may be required by Applicable Law or agreements to be given to Governmental Authorities or other persons by the Sellers, the Sellers affiliates or equity owners, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, managers, partners or other agents or representatives, which notices shall be in the form prepared by the Purchasers or, if prepared by the Sellers, shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Purchasers.
47
(c) Subject to the Sellers compliance with their obligations under this Section 6.3 and Section 4.3, the Purchasers shall submit to the appropriate Governmental Authority completed applications with schedules and required background information in order to obtain all certificate of need approvals or determinations of non-reviewability, CLIA waivers, licensing approvals (including the Health Care Licensing Approvals) and other Governmental Authority approvals as may be required for the Purchasers (or their affiliates) to own and/or operate each Facility and all approvals required to process a change of ownership or new application for Medicaid or any other third party payor certification, if applicable (collectively, the Licensing Approvals). Except with respect to (i) the Facility located in Arizona, the applications for which cannot be submitted until 30 days prior to the license transfer date, (ii) the Facility located in Utah, for which (A) background checks for new hires cannot be submitted until 30 days prior to the license transfer date and (B) a fire inspection report shall be obtained prior to the Closing, (iii) certain supplemental materials relating to Sunshine Villa to be submitted promptly after the Effective Date, (iv) Medicaid and CLIA applications, which are not required to be filed until after the Closing, (v) certain other ancillary license applications to be filed promptly after the Effective Date and (vi) any additional materials requested by a Governmental Authority following the Effective Date amending or supplementing materials previously provided to such Governmental Authority, each of which shall be promptly submitted as of such date, on or prior to the Effective Date the Purchasers have submitted substantially complete applications for the Health Care Licensing Approvals; provided, however, the Purchasers shall not be in breach of this Section 6.3(c) if (i) they omitted any of the following from any applications submitted on or before the Effective Date: (A) information required to be provided by the Sellers which has not been provided by the Sellers to the Purchasers prior to the Effective Date, (B) notices to Residents and/or responsible parties which are required to be, but which as of the Effective Date have not yet been, delivered by the Sellers and/or the Purchasers, as applicable, and/or (C) the results of third party inspections which are outside of the control of the Purchasers and have not been completed as of the Effective Date; and/or (ii), despite the good faith efforts of the Purchasers to submit substantially complete applications for the Health Care Licensing Approvals prior to the Effective Date, any such applications for the Health Care Licensing Approvals had not been submitted by such date. For the avoidance of doubt the Parties acknowledge and agree that the applications for the remaining Licensing Approvals, including, but not limited to, where applicable for Medicaid certification, were not required to be filed prior to the Effective Date in light of the fact that, among other reasons, they cannot, in many instances, be submitted until the Purchasers are able to demonstrate to the applicable Governmental Authority that the Health Care Licensing Approvals have been obtained by the Purchasers.
(d) The Purchasers shall diligently pursue in good faith the Licensing Approvals, including completing information requested in a timely manner, attaching required information and exhibits to the Licensing Approvals applications and promptly responding to requests made in connection with the Licensing Approvals; provided, however, the Purchasers shall not be in breach of their obligations under this Section 6.3(d) in the event that the Purchasers are unable to submit such information as a result of a breach by the Sellers of their cooperation obligation as set forth in this Section 6.3 or Section 4.3.
48
(e) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Purchasers shall be responsible for any filing fees or other similar costs associated with the change of ownership process; provided, however, that the Sellers shall be responsible for all costs to be incurred in connection with any corrective action related to the Assets that is required by Governmental Authorities prior to such Governmental Authorities issuing the Licensing Approvals (whether occurring prior to or after the Closing), where such corrective action either (A) arises from a survey of any of the Facilities conducted in the ordinary course of the applicable Sellers business operations prior to the Closing Date or (B) is the direct result of an inspection made in connection with a change of ownership and/or re-licensing survey (a CHOW Survey), whether such CHOW Survey is conducted prior to or after the Closing Date, and the deficiency to which such corrective action relates had been cited, but was not corrected by the applicable Seller, prior to the CHOW Survey. For purpose hereof a complaint investigation survey shall be deemed to be a survey conducted in the ordinary course of the applicable Sellers business operations.
(f) The Parties agree that the Purchasers are authorized to send pre-filing notices, file for NPI numbers and apply for all Licensing Approvals, disclose the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to all Governmental Authorities and schedule inspections, and the Purchasers shall be permitted to take all other actions related to the Facilities relating to securing the Licensing Approvals.
(g) The Sellers shall provide to the Purchasers any Licensing Surveys, including reports, waivers of deficiency, plans of correction and any other investigation reports issued with respect to the Facilities between the Effective Date and the Closing Date. To the extent any Licensing Surveys reflect any deficiencies or violations, the Purchasers shall have the right to review and approve the proposed plan of correction, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld unless the corrective action will extend into the period after the Closing Date, in which case the Purchasers shall have the right to withhold their approval in their sole and absolute discretion, and the Sellers shall at the Sellers expense thereafter remedy and discharge such deficiencies and violations, including filing and complying with any plans of correction or other remedial action required by any Governmental Authority prior to the Closing for any Facility to which such deficiencies or violations relate.
Section 6.4 Notices to Residents. For those Facilities in jurisdictions that require that advance notice be given by the Sellers and/or the Purchasers to Residents and/or responsible parties in connection with securing the Health Care Licensing Approvals, as soon as practicable after the Hard Date or by such earlier date as the Purchasers may advise the Sellers is required under Applicable Law in connection with the Purchasers efforts to secure the Health Care Licensing Approvals as of the Closing Date and to the extent the Sellers have not done so prior to the Effective Date, the Sellers will dispatch notification letters to each Resident and/or responsible party of such Facilities, in the form drafted by the Purchasers and mutually
49
acceptable to the Parties, as such form may be modified to comply with, and as may be required by Applicable Law, and containing such other information as the Purchasers may reasonably elect to include therein concerning the Purchasers. Following delivery by the Sellers and/or the Purchasers of such notification letters, the Purchasers may deliver additional introduction or notification letters to each resident and/or responsible party of the same Facility, whether or not required by Applicable Law, in the form drafted by the Purchasers and mutually acceptable to the Parties.
Section 6.5 Relinquishment of Authority. If the Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the issuance of Licensing Approvals requires the Sellers to have relinquished in writing the Sellers Licensing Approvals as a condition of the Purchasers or the Purchasers Representatives obtaining Licensing Approval comparable to the Licensing Approval for such Facility on the Effective Date, the Sellers shall execute and deliver such documents as may be necessary for the Sellers to relinquish the Sellers Licensing Approvals effective on the Closing Date upon the request of the Purchasers.
Section 6.6 Interim Operating Agreements.
(a) If, as of the Closing Date, any of the Purchasers (Delayed Approval Purchasers) have not obtained all Health Care Licensing Approvals or acceptable assurances that the Purchasers shall receive all Health Care Licensing Approvals effective as of the Closing Date upon any required confirmation by the states that the transfer of the Facility or Facilities located in such states has occurred, then at the Closing, the Delayed Approval Purchasers, shall enter into and the respective Seller, shall enter into and cause BPMSL to enter into (as needed), either (i) an interim lease and services/management agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 6.6(a)(i) and any revisions required to comply with applicable state law (collectively, the Interim Management Agreements) or (ii) an interim lease and consulting agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 6.6(a)(ii) and any revisions required to comply with applicable state law (collectively, the Interim Consulting Agreements and, together with the Interim Management Agreements, the Interim Operating Agreements), as appropriate.
(b) In the event that after the Closing and prior to the issuance of the Health Care Licensing Approvals, the applicable Governmental Authority approves the entering into of an Interim Management Agreement with respect to any Facility subject to an Interim Consulting Agreement, then the applicable Sellers, on the one hand, and the applicable Purchasers, on the other hand, shall enter into an Interim Management Agreement in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit 6.6(a)(i) and upon the commencement thereof, the Interim Consulting Agreement in effect with respect to such Facility shall be terminated.
(c) The provisions of Sections 6.6(a) and (b) shall not apply in states where the Parties acknowledge and agree (or, after the Effective Date, the Purchasers have received notice or other communications from the applicable Governmental Authority) that the Interim Operating Agreements are not permitted under Applicable Law, in which case the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to enter into another arrangement that is permitted under Applicable Law.
50
(d) For purposes of this Agreement, the term Health Care Licensing Approvals shall, as to each of the Facilities, refer to the License issued by the applicable Governmental Authority to operate such Facility as an assisted living facility, Alzheimers care, or residential care facility for the elderly.
Section 6.7 Excluded Business Names. For a period not to exceed two hundred seventy (270) days after the Closing, the Purchasers shall have the limited, nontransferable, non-exclusive right and license to use the trade names and trademarks listed on Exhibit 1.1(b)(vi) (the Excluded Business Names) solely in connection with the operation of the Facilities, and only if and to the extent any one or more of the Excluded Business Names are displayed on existing signage, marketing and promotional materials, or internal or external business documents being used in connection with the operation of the Facilities as of the Closing. The Sellers acknowledge and agree that at such time as the Purchasers replace the signage at the Facilities, the current signage will be removed and destroyed unless the Purchasers make other arrangements for the delivery thereof to the Sellers.
Section 6.8 Condemnation Event. If between the Effective Date and the Closing a Condemnation Event shall occur with respect to any one or more Facilities, the Sellers shall be required to provide the Purchasers with prompt written notice of such occurrence and the Purchasers may elect, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such notice, to (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to the Purchasers and the Parties shall have no further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement (other than obligations that shall survive the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof) or (ii) elect to proceed to the Closing and have all insurance proceeds and/or awards attributable to such Condemnation Event assigned to the applicable Purchaser (and the Sellers shall provide a credit against the Purchase Price to the Purchasers in the amount of any applicable insurance deductible in connection therewith). Condemnation Event shall mean (i) damage or loss to or destruction by fire or other casualty of any one or more of the Facilities, the costs of repair for which is reasonably estimated to exceed $200,000 per Facility, or $500,000 in the aggregate, (ii) any condemnation by any Governmental Authority with respect to any Facility which renders such Facility less than a functional structure to continue to operate the Business thereon or which could reasonably be expected to materially interfere with the use of the Real Property for the purpose for which it is currently used or (iii) any taking of any of the Real Property under the right of eminent domain (or pending Legal Proceedings for such purposes).
Section 6.9 Like-Kind Exchange. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the purchase and sale of the Assets may be part of a tax-free exchange under Section 1031 of the Code for either the Purchasers or the Sellers. Each Party hereby agrees to take all reasonable steps on or before the Closing Date to facilitate such exchange if reasonably requested by the other Party, provided that (a) no Party making such accommodation shall be required to acquire any substitute property, (b) such exchange shall not affect the representations, warranties, liabilities and obligations of the exchanging Party to the other Parties under this Agreement, (c) no Party making such accommodation shall incur any additional cost, expense or liability in
51
connection with such exchange, unless indemnified by the exchanging Party, and (d) no dates in this Agreement will be extended as a result thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, if one or more Sellers so elect to close the transfer of the Assets as an exchange, then (i) such Sellers, at their sole option, may delegate their obligations to transfer the Assets under this Agreement, and may assign their rights to receive the Purchase Price from the Purchasers, to a deferred exchange intermediary (an Intermediary) or to an exchange accommodation titleholder, as the case may be; (ii) such delegation and assignment shall in no way reduce, modify or otherwise affect the obligations of the Sellers or Bowen pursuant to this Agreement; (iii) the Sellers and Bowen shall remain fully liable for their obligations under this Agreement as if such delegation and assignment shall not have taken place; (iv) the closing of the transfer of the Assets to the Purchasers shall be undertaken by direct deed from the Sellers (or, if applicable, from other affiliates of the Sellers whom the Sellers will cause to execute such deeds) to the Purchasers or to exchange accommodation titleholder, as the case may be; and (v) the Sellers shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless the Purchasers from and against any and all liability arising from and out of such exchange by the Sellers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, if one or more Purchasers so elect to close the acquisition of the Assets as an exchange, then (A) the Purchasers, at their sole option, may delegate their obligations to acquire the Assets under this Agreement, and may assign their rights to receive the Assets from the Sellers, to an Intermediary or to an exchange accommodation titleholder, as the case may be; (B) such delegation and assignment shall in no way reduce, modify or otherwise affect the obligations of the Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement; (C) the Purchasers shall remain fully liable for their obligations under this Agreement as if such delegation and assignment shall not have taken place; (D) the closing of the acquisition of the Assets by the Purchasers or the exchange accommodation titleholder, as the case may be, shall be undertaken by direct deed from the Sellers (or, if applicable, from other affiliates of the Sellers whom the Sellers will cause to execute such deeds) to the Purchasers or to exchange accommodation titleholder, as the case may be; and (E) the Purchasers shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless the Sellers from and against any and all liability arising from and out of such exchange by the Purchasers.

Section 6.10 License of Certain Assets.
(a) The Purchasers acknowledge that certain affiliates of the Sellers listed on Exhibit 6.10(a) (the BPMSL Affiliates) will continue to operate either the senior living facilities listed on Exhibit 4.17 or other multifamily housing properties and that the Work Product, the proprietary accounting algorithms (the Proprietary Algorithms), and other operational data and materials used by the BPMSL Affiliates in connection with the operation of those senior living facilities listed on Exhibit 4.17 or other multifamily housing properties (the Operational Materials) which shall be transferred to the Purchasers as of Closing, are also currently used in connection with the BPMSL Affiliates businesses and will continue to be necessary for the BPMSL Affiliates continued business operations after Closing. Accordingly, the Purchasers hereby grant to the BPMSL Affiliates a non-exclusive, non-transferable (other than as set forth in Section 6.10(b)), non-sublicensable, fully paid-up license to use the Work
52
Product, the Proprietary Algorithms, and the Operational Materials solely in connection with operation of the senior living facilities listed on Exhibit 4.17 or other multifamily housing properties (the BPMSL License). The Purchasers may terminate the BPMSL License granted under this Section 6.10(a) upon written notice to the BPMSL Affiliates, in the event that the BPMSL Affiliates breach any of its obligations or restrictions on use set forth in Section 6.10 and the BPMSL Affiliates fail to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of receiving written notice of the breach. The Purchasers shall not be required to provide the BPMSL Affiliates with any maintenance and/or other support services in connection with the Proprietary Algorithms, Work Product or Operational Materials and shall not be liable to the BPMSL Affiliates for any claim, loss, or damage of any kind arising out of or in connection with the Work Product or Proprietary Software or any deficiency or inadequacy thereof.
(b) The Purchasers agree to permit each BPMSL Affiliate to transfer the BPMSL License to any third party successor entity in connection with the sale of substantially all of each such BPMSL Affiliates respective assets to such entity, provided that such entity agrees in a writing delivered to the Purchasers to be bound by this Section 6.10 and BPMSL Affiliates transfer of the BPMSL License does not interfere with the ability of the Purchasers to use the Proprietary Algorithms, the Work Product, or the Operational Materials. Bowen, on behalf of the BPMSL Affiliates, agrees that the BPMSL License shall not otherwise be transferred or used by or sublicensed to any other person (including affiliates of the BPMSL Affiliates) by the BPMSL Affiliates.
(c) To the extent that any BPMSL Affiliates or any of their respective representatives improves, alters or otherwise modifies the Proprietary Software Algorithms, the Operational Materials, or the or Work Product, the Purchasers shall retain all right, title, and interest in and to such improvements, modifications, or alterations of the Proprietary Software or Work Product, and the BPMSL Affiliates hereby assign (and shall cause their representatives to hereby assign) any such intellectual property to the Purchasers.
(d) Bowen, on behalf of the BPMSL Affiliates, acknowledge and agree that following the Closing Date, the Purchasers will own all right, title, and interest in and to the Proprietary Software Algorithms, the Operational Materials, and Work Product and neither Bowen nor the BPMSL Affiliates shall challenge the Purchasers right, title, or interest therein.
(e) The licensed software used in connection with the Facilities is listed on Exhibit 6.10(e) (the Facility Software). All such Facility Software that is designated as an Assumed Contract by the Purchasers shall be transferred to the Purchasers pursuant to Section 5.1. To the extent any Facility Software that is designated an Assumed Contract is also used by the BPMSL Affiliates senior living facilities or other multifamily housing properties and has been modified by the licensor for use by the BPMSL Affiliates and the Sellers, the BPMSL Affiliates may request that the licensor permit the BPMSL Affiliates to use such modifications under the Purchasers licenses provided that the terms of such use do not impose any additional conditions or obligations or otherwise impose any additional restrictions on the Purchasers license to such Facility Software. The BPMSL
53
Affiliates use of such Facility Software so modified by the BPMSL Affiliates and the Sellers pursuant to this Section 6.10(e) shall be subject to the conditions of, and the Purchasers rights under, Sections 6.10(a), (b), (c) and (d) that are applicable to Algorithms, Operational Material and Work Product. Any costs or expenses pursuant to such request shall be solely paid by the BPMSL Affiliates.
Section 6.11 Management Agreement. The Sellers shall cause the owners of such facilities to enter into a management agreement with an affiliate designee of the Purchasers, as manager (the Manager), for the management of the facilities listed on Exhibit 6.11. (the Nevada Facilities), subject to approval by the lenders that have made loans secured by the Nevada Facilities and subject to finalizing the Form Management Agreement pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.11. The management of each such facility by the Manager shall commence, and the management agreement for such facility shall be executed and become effective, not less than one (1) day prior to the Closing Date (the Management Agreement Deadline). The form of the management agreement shall be on reasonable and customary terms mutually agreed on by the Parties and shall include a management fee equal to six percent (6%) of effective gross income and operating covenants, including, but not limited to, a covenant that monthly net operating income must exceed historical levels, which levels will be assessed and mutually agreed upon (the Form Management Agreement). The term of each management agreement shall be five (5) years with the following termination rights in favor of the owner of the applicable Nevada Facility: year 1: termination only in the event of a default by the Manager with respect to operating covenants or material breach by the Manager of the terms of the Management Agreement (in each case, subject to customary notice and cure rights); year 2: termination only as permitted in year 1 and/or in the event of a sale by owner of such Nevada Facility; and year 3 and thereafter, upon reasonable notice by such owner to the Manager. The Parties shall use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to finalize the Form Management Agreement on or prior to the Notification Date and the Sellers shall (and shall cause their respective affiliates and the owners of the Nevada Facilities to) use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all lender consents contemplated herein. The Purchasers shall use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Sellers, their affiliates and any owner to obtain any required lender consent. If all lender consents contemplated herein are obtained but the Parties have failed to finalize any management agreement contemplated by this Section 6.11 and execute such agreement with respect to any of the Nevada Facilities prior to the Management Agreement Deadline, the Purchasers shall have the right, in their sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement by written notice to the Sellers and payment of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) of the Deposit to Sellers and the Purchasers shall be entitled to a refund of the balance of the Deposit. If the Sellers, their affiliates and the owners of the Nevada Facilities are unable to obtain any lender consent contemplated herein, after using good faith, commercially reasonable efforts, prior to the Management Agreement Deadline, the Purchasers shall have the right, in their sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement by written notice to the Sellers and the Purchasers shall be entitled to a refund of a portion of the Deposit in the amount of Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($700,000) and the balance of the Deposit shall be paid to Sellers.
54
Section 6.12 Sale of BPMSL Assets. The Parties agree to use good faith efforts to finalize an agreement for the sale of certain assets of BPMSL to the Purchasers on or before March 15, 2012; provided, however, that the failure to finalize such agreement on or prior to March 15, 2012, notwithstanding the Parties good faith efforts, shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement. The agreement for the sale of the BPMSL assets shall provide, among other things, that: (i) the closing shall occur not less than one (1) day prior to the Closing Date and (ii) if this Agreement is terminated after the BPMSL closing, the Purchasers shall (or shall cause the Person that acquired the BPMSL assets to) convey such assets back to the Sellers (or the Sellers designee) upon payment of the same purchase price paid to the Sellers for such assets.

Section 7.3 Notification of Claims.
(a) Any and all claims must be made in writing within thirty (30) months of Closing. Failure to provide a clear and explicit notice of claim shall forever bar any claim of any sort, including claims under this agreement and all other agreements related to the purchase of the Assets, by statute, at common law or otherwise, and whether known or unknown, contingent, liquidated or unliquidated.
(b) A Party entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Sections 7.1 or 7.2 (the Indemnified Party) shall notify the Party liable for such indemnification (the Indemnifying Party) in writing of any claim or demand which the Indemnified Party has determined gives rise or will likely give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement, as soon as possible after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such claim or demand and has made such determination; provided, however, that the Indemnified Partys failure to give such notice to the Indemnifying Party in a timely fashion shall not result in the loss of the Indemnified Partys rights with respect thereto except to the extent any Party to this Agreement is prejudiced by the delay, and then only to the extent of such prejudice. Subject to the Indemnifying Partys right to defend in good faith third party claims as hereinafter provided, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations under this Article VII within thirty (30) days after the receipt of written notice thereon from the Indemnified Party, it being agreed that the Indemnifying Party need not satisfy such obligations during any period in which the Indemnifying Party is defending in good faith the applicable third party claim in the manner described below.
(c) If the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party of any claim or demand pursuant to Section 7.3(a), and if such claim or demand relates to a claim or demand asserted by a third party against the Indemnified Party which the Indemnifying Party acknowledges is a claim or demand for which it must indemnify or hold harmless the Indemnified Party under Sections 7.1 or 7.2, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to either (i) pay such claim or demand or (ii) employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to defend any such claim or demand asserted against the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party, at its own expense, shall have the right to participate in the defense of any such claim or demand. The Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party in writing, as promptly as possible (but in any case reasonably in advance of the due date for the answer or response to a claim) after the date of the notice of claim given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party under Section 7.3(a) of its election to defend in good faith any such third party claim or demand; provided that by defending such claim or demand, the Indemnifying Party thereby admits and affirms its obligation to fully perform its indemnification obligation in the event such contested claim is resolved adversely to the Indemnified Party. So long as the Indemnifying Party is defending in good faith any such claim or demand asserted by a third party against the Indemnified Party and is able to demonstrate to the Indemnified Party its financial
59
wherewithal to fully perform its indemnification obligation in the event such contested claim is resolved adversely to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise such claim or demand. In no event shall any such claim or demand be settled in a commercially unreasonable manner. The Indemnified Party shall make available to such counsel all records and other materials in the Indemnified Partys possession reasonably required by it for its use in contesting any third party claim or demand. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party elects to defend any such claim or demand, the Indemnified Party shall have no obligations to do so. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, such third party claim include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there are or are reasonably likely to be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party or that there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest, in either case that would make it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such third party claim, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of one separate counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction (and shall pay such fees, costs and expenses as incurred); provided that the Indemnified Party shall use diligent and good faith efforts in such defense.
(d) An Indemnifying Party may not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any claim or consent against an Indemnified Party to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim and does not contain any equitable order, judgment or term which in any manner affects, restrains or interferes with the business of the Indemnified Party or any of the Indemnified Partys affiliates.
Section 7.4 Survival of Representations.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.4 (including Section 7.4(c)), all the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement (and any claims for any breach thereof) or any certificate delivered pursuant to or connection with this Agreement (and any claims for any breach thereof) shall survive the Closing for eighteen (18) months, except that Sections 2.1, 2.2, 3.1 and 3.2 shall survive for thirty (30) months.
(b) All covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement (and any claims for any breach thereof) that by their terms apply or are to be performed in whole or in part after the Closing shall remain in full force and effect after the Closing in accordance with their terms (or, if no survival period is stated therein, then such covenants and agreements shall survive indefinitely). All covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement that by their terms apply or are to be performed in their entirety on or prior to the Closing shall terminate at the Closing; provided that any claims for any breach thereof shall survive the Closing for eighteen (18) months.
60
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if prior to the close of business on the last day of the applicable survival period, an Indemnifying Party shall have been properly notified as provided hereunder of a claim for indemnity hereunder and such claim shall not have been finally resolved or disposed of at such date, such claim shall continue to survive and shall remain a basis for indemnity hereunder until such claim is finally resolved or disposed of in accordance with the terms in this Agreement subject in all respects to the applicable statute of limitations. If any act, omission, disclosure or failure to disclose shall form the basis for a claim for breach of more than one representation or warranty, and such claims have different periods of survival hereunder, the termination of the survival period of one claim shall not affect a Partys right to make a claim based on the breach of a representation, warranty or covenant still surviving.
The rights to indemnification set forth in this Article VII shall not be affected by (i) any investigation conducted by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by an Indemnified Party, whether before or after the Closing Date, with respect to the inaccuracy or noncompliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation which is the subject of indemnification hereunder or (ii) any waiver by an Indemnified Party of any closing condition relating to the accuracy of representations and warranties or the performance of or compliance with agreements and covenants.
Section 7.5 No Punitive Damages. No Party will be liable to any other Party under any cause of action, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, for any punitive damages, even if the Party has been advised of the possibility of such damages; provided that the foregoing shall not limit the right of any Indemnified Party to indemnification in accordance with this Agreement with respect to any component of any claim, settlement, award or judgment against such Party by a third party.
Section 7.6 Right to Set-Off. Subject to the conditions and limitations applicable to indemnification claims set forth in this Article VII, the Purchasers shall have the right to set-off any indemnification payment obligation of which has been finally adjudicated (with no further right of appeal) or of which the Sellers and the Purchasers mutually agree the Purchasers are entitled to indemnification under Article VII against any other payment to be made by the Purchasers or any of their affiliates to the Sellers. No exercise by the Purchasers of such right of set-off in compliance with this Section 7.6 shall constitute a default in the payment of any amount against which such set-off is made.

(f) by the Purchasers after the Hard Date for any reason (or no reason), if the Purchasers deliver notice to the Sellers; provided, that, such termination will not be effective until the Purchasers deliver notice to the Escrow Agent to release and pay the Deposit to the Sellers; each Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Purchasers have no obligation to give the Sellers prior notice, or to negotiate in good faith with the Sellers regarding modifying the terms of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, before the Purchasers deliver the notice of termination pursuant to this Section 10.1(f); and
(g) by either Party if the Closing shall not have been consummated on or prior to the Closing Date Deadline; and provided, further, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(g) shall not be available to any Party whose action or failure to act has been the primary cause of the Closing failing to occur on or before such date and such action or failure to act constitutes a breach of this Agreement by such Party.

Section 10.3 Effect of Termination; Remedies for Default and Disposition of the Deposit.
(a) Seller Defaults.
(i) If the transactions contemplated by this Agreement do not close by reason of the failure of the satisfaction of the conditions benefiting the Purchasers under Section 8.1 and 8.2 in this Agreement (except by reason as described in (ii) of this Section), then the Deposit shall be returned to the Purchasers, and neither Party shall have any further obligation or liability to the other except with respect to those provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement.
(ii) If the transactions contemplated by this Agreement do not close by reason of a breach by the Sellers then, at the Purchasers election, (A) the Deposit shall be returned to the Purchasers, and, except as provided in Section 10.3(a)(iii), neither Party shall have any further obligation or liability to the other except with respect to those provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement, or (B) if the Purchasers are ready, willing and able to close (including having immediately available funds to close, and is not otherwise in default), the Purchasers may specifically enforce this Agreement; provided, that any action by the Purchasers for specific performance must be commenced, if at all, within ninety (90) days of the Sellers default, the failure of which shall constitute a waiver by the Purchasers of such right and remedy. If the
72
Purchasers shall not have commenced an action for specific performance within the aforementioned time period or so notified the Sellers of the Purchasers election to terminate this Agreement, then the Purchasers sole remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement in accordance with clause (A) above. In the event the Purchasers commence an equitable action for specific performance, the Sellers hereby acknowledge that the Purchasers do not have an adequate remedy at law and that injunctive relief and specific performance will not constitute a hardship to the Sellers. In addition, in the event the Purchasers prevail under any action under this Section 10.3(a), the Sellers shall pay to the Purchasers all their cost and expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees incurred in pursuing such action.
(iii) In the event this Agreement is terminated by the Purchasers in accordance with Section 10.1(b) as a result of the Sellers intentional breach, willful misrepresentation or fraud, in addition to the Purchasers right to receive the return of the Deposit or to seek specific performance as aforesaid, the Sellers shall be jointly and severally liable to the Purchasers for any damages to the Purchasers as a result of such breach; provided, however, that such damages shall be limited to the Expenses of the Purchasers, not to exceed Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) in the aggregate. Such payment of Expenses shall be paid within three (3) Business Days after receipt of documentation supporting such Expenses. For purposes of this Agreement, Expenses means all out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including all fees and expenses of accountants, investment bankers, counsel, experts and consultants of the Purchasers and their affiliates) incurred by the Purchasers or on their behalf, prior to the termination of this Agreement, in connection with or related to the preparation, negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and the Purchasers investigation and examination of the Assets, together with any costs or expenses incurred by the Purchasers in enforcing their rights under this Article X.
(b) Purchaser Defaults; Elective Termination by the Purchasers. In the event that (i) after the Hard Date, without termination of this Agreement by the Purchasers, the Purchasers shall not complete the Closing under this Agreement in circumstances in which the conditions benefiting the Purchasers under Section 8.1 and 8.2 in this Agreement were satisfied or previously waived and neither Party has terminated this Agreement pursuant to an express right to terminate as herein provided, (ii) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10.1(c) in circumstances where the Purchasers would not have a right to terminate this Agreement under Section 10.1(b), or (iii) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10.1(f), then the Sellers sole remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement and to receive the Deposit as full and complete liquidated damages. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the amount of damages which the Sellers may incur as a result of such termination may be difficult to ascertain, and that the amount specified herein is a fair and reasonable estimate thereof, after which the Parties shall have no further rights hereunder.
73
Nothing in this Section shall be construed to limit the Sellers rights or damages under any indemnities given by the Purchasers to the Sellers under this Agreement.
(c) Disposition of the Deposit. In the event the transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall close, the Deposit shall be applied as payment of the Purchase Price being paid at the Closing.

Section 11.16 Specific Performance; Limitation of Remedy.
(a) The Sellers understand and agree that the covenants and undertakings on each of their parts herein contained are uniquely related to the desire of the Purchasers and their respective affiliates to consummate the Closing, that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are a unique business opportunity at a unique time for the Purchasers and their respective affiliates, and further agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed by the Sellers in accordance with its specific terms and further agree that, although monetary damages may be available for the breach by the Sellers of such covenants and undertakings, monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy therefor and that specific performance would not constitute a hardship for the Sellers. Accordingly, the Sellers agree, on behalf of themselves and their respective affiliates, that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Sellers of any of
78
their respective covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement, the Purchasers shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by the Sellers, and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the Sellers under this Agreement, including the provisions of Section 10.3(a)(ii). The Sellers hereby agree not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by the Purchasers, and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the Sellers under this Agreement. The Purchasers in seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the Sellers and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction. Except as expressly provided herein, under no circumstance shall the Purchasers file or record, or cause to be filed or recorded, against the Real Property a lis pendens, lien or any other type of encumbrance as the result of any breach or alleged breach of this Agreement by the Sellers, or for any other reason or purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Purchasers may file or record, or cause to be filed or recorded, against the Real Property a lis pendens, lien or other type of encumbrance permitted under applicable law if and when (x) the Purchasers are awarded monetary damages in a lawsuit filed by the Purchasers alleging that the Sellers breached this Agreement or (y) the Purchasers file a lawsuit against the Sellers seeking specific performance of the Sellers obligation to convey the Real Property to the Purchasers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The foregoing shall not affect the pledges of the Approved Collateral under Section 11.17.
(b) The Purchasers understand and agree that the Sellers would suffer irreparable damage in the event that the Purchasers were to breach certain provisions of this Agreement, and that while monetary damages may be available for the breach by the Purchasers of such covenants and undertakings, monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy therefor and that specific performance would not constitute a hardship for the Purchasers. Accordingly, the Purchasers agree, on behalf of themselves and their respective affiliates, that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Purchasers of the following provisions: Sections 4.3 (Access and Disclosure), 4.7 (Further Documentation), 4.10 (Financial Information and Audit Assistance), 4.12 (No Solicitation), 4.17 (Non-Solicit; No Hire; Non-Competition); 6.1 (Confidentiality) and 6.7 (Excluded Business Names); then the Sellers shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to specifically enforce such enumerated provisions of this Agreement. The Sellers in seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the Purchasers and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Sellers understand and agree that, in the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Sellers pursuant to and subject to the conditions of Section 10.3(b), or if this Agreement is terminated pursuant by the Purchasers pursuant to Section 10.1(f), then the Sellers sole and exclusive remedy against the Purchasers and any of their respective affiliates and their respective partners, directors, managers, members, shareholders, officers, employees and agents (the Purchaser
79
Parties) for any breach, loss or damage shall be to receive payment of the Deposit, in each case only to the extent provided in Section 10.3(b); and upon payment of such amount, no Seller or other person or entity shall have any rights or claims against the Purchaser Parties under this Agreement, or any other agreement or agreement delivered in connection with this Agreement, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, and none of the Purchaser Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Nothing in this Section shall be construed to limit the Sellers rights or damages under any indemnities (other than Article VII) given by the Purchasers to the Sellers under this Agreement.
Section 11.17 Bowen Guarantee.
(a) Bowen hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees (the Guarantee) to the Purchasers the punctual and full performance by each Seller of all of its obligations arising from and after the Closing pursuant to this Agreement. The Guarantee is absolute and unconditional irrespective of circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or any defense, setoff or counterclaim available to, Bowen. Bowen agrees not to effect or agree to take any action which would adversely affect his ability to carry out any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 11.17.

MASTER CREDIT FACILITY AGREEMENT
THIS MASTER CREDIT FACILITY AGREEMENT (this Agreement) is made as of July 3, 2012, by and among (i) (a) CANYON CREEK OWNER LLC, (b) DESERT FLOWER OWNER LLC, (c) ORCHARD PARK OWNER LLC, (d) REGENT COURT OWNER LLC, (e) SHELDON PARK OWNER LLC, (f) SUN OAK OWNER LLC, (g) SUNSHINE VILLA OWNER LLC, (h) WILLOW PARK OWNER LLC, each a Delaware limited liability company, and (i) such Additional Borrowers as may from time to time become borrowers under this Agreement (individually and collectively, Borrower); (ii) (a) PROPCO LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and (b) TRS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (individually and together, Guarantor); and (iii) OAK GROVE COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Lender).
RECITALS:
A. Borrower owns one (1) or more Seniors Housing Facilities (unless otherwise defined or the context clearly indicates otherwise, capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Appendix I of this Agreement) as more particularly described in Exhibit A to this Agreement.
B. Borrower has requested that Lender establish a Credit Facility in the original principal amount of $88,400,000 in favor of Borrower, comprised initially of a $23,400,000 Variable Facility, all or part of which can be converted to a Fixed Facility in accordance with, and subject to, the terms and conditions of this Agreement and a $65,000,000 Fixed Facility.
C. To secure the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents issued in connection with the Credit Facility, Borrower shall create a Collateral Pool in favor of Lender. The Collateral Pool shall be comprised of (i) certain Seniors Housing Facilities owned by Borrower and (ii) any other collateral pledged to Lender from time to time by any Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents. As of the Initial Closing Date, the Collateral Pool shall consist of the Mortgaged Properties listed on Exhibit A.
D. Each Note and Security Document shall be cross-defaulted (i.e., a default under any Note, Security Document, or under this Agreement, shall constitute a default under each other Note, Security Document, and this Agreement) and cross-collateralized (i.e., each Security Instrument shall secure all of Borrowers obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) and it is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that Lender may accelerate any Note without the obligation, but with the right to accelerate any other Note and that in the exercise of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, Lender may, except as provided in this Agreement, exercise and perfect any and all of its rights and remedies in and under the Loan Documents with regard to any Mortgaged Property without the obligation, but with the right to exercise and perfect its rights and remedies with respect to any other Mortgaged Property and that any such exercise shall be without regard to the Allocable Facility Amount assigned to such Mortgaged Property and that Lender may recover an amount equal to the full amount Outstanding in respect of any of the Notes in connection with such exercise and any such amount shall be applied to the Obligations as determined by Lender.
1
E. Guarantor has an economic interest in Borrower or will otherwise obtain a material financial benefit from the Credit Facility.
F. Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement, Lender has agreed to establish the Credit Facility.
NOW, THEREFORE, Borrower, Lender and Guarantor, in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements contained in this Agreement, hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
THE COMMITMENT
Section 1.01. The Commitment.
Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement:
(a) Variable Facility Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender agrees to make one or more Variable Advances to Borrower on the Initial Closing Date in the aggregate amount of the Variable Facility Commitment in effect on the Initial Closing Date. Subject to the availability of Future Advances pursuant to Section 2.05 and Article 3 and all other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender may agree to make one or more additional Variable Advances to Borrower. At such time that any additional Variable Advance may be made, the Variable Facility Commitment shall be increased by such Variable Advance amount. The aggregate principal balance of the Variable Advances Outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Variable Facility Commitment. The repayment in full of a Variable Advance shall permanently reduce the Variable Facility Commitment by the original principal amount of such Variable Advance. The repayment in part of a Variable Advance shall permanently reduce the Variable Facility Commitment by such repaid amount. Borrower may not re-borrow any part of any Variable Advance that it has previously borrowed and repaid. Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement, Borrower may convert all or part of any Variable Advance to a Fixed Advance.
(b) Fixed Facility Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender agrees to make one or more Fixed Advances to Borrower on the Initial Closing Date in the aggregate amount of the Fixed Facility Commitment in effect on the Initial Closing Date. Subject to the availability of Future Advances pursuant to Section 2.05 and Article 3 and all other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender may agree to make one or more additional Fixed Advances to Borrower from time. At such time that any additional Fixed Advance may be made, the Fixed Facility Commitment shall be increased by such Fixed Advance amount. The aggregate principal amount of the Fixed Advances Outstanding shall not exceed the Fixed Facility Commitment. The repayment in full of a Fixed Advance shall permanently reduce the Fixed Facility Commitment by the original principal amount of such Fixed Advance. The repayment in part of a Fixed Advance shall permanently reduce the Fixed Facility Commitment by such repaid amount. Borrower may not re-borrow any part of any Fixed Advance which it has previously borrowed and repaid.
2
Section 1.02. Requests for Advances.
Borrower shall request an Advance by giving Lender an Advance Request. The Advance Request shall indicate whether the Request is for a Fixed Advance, a Variable Advance, or both.
Section 1.03. Maturity Date of Advances; Prepayment.
(a) Maturity Date of Variable Advances. Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 1.10, the maturity date of each Variable Advance shall be specified in the Advance Request by Borrower for such Variable Advance, provided that such maturity date shall be no earlier than the date that is the first day of the month following the date five (5) years after the Closing Date of such Variable Advance, and no later than the date that is the first day of the month following the date ten (10) years after the Closing Date of such Advance, provided no maturity date shall be later than the date that is the first day of the month following the date fifteen (15) years after the Initial Closing Date. The term of the Variable Advance made on the Initial Closing Date shall be seven (7) years.
(b) Maturity Date of Fixed Advances. Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 1.10, the maturity date of each Fixed Advance shall be specified by Borrower in the Advance Request for such Fixed Advance, provided that such maturity date shall be no earlier than the date that is the first day of the month following the date five (5) years after the Closing Date of such Fixed Advance and no later than the first day of the month following the date ten (10) years after the Closing Date of such Fixed Advance, provided no maturity date shall be later than the date that is the first day of the month following the date fifteen (15) years after the Initial Closing Date. The term of the Fixed Advance made on the Initial Closing Date shall be seven (7) years.
(c) Prepayment of Advances. Borrower may prepay all or a portion of any Advance pursuant to the prepayment provisions of the applicable Note and otherwise in accordance with this Agreement. Any repaid Advances shall automatically result in a permanent reduction of the Commitment.
Section 1.04. Interest on Advances.
(a) Partial Month Interest. If a Fixed Advance or Variable Advance is not made on the first day of a calendar month, Borrower shall pay interest on the original stated principal amount of such Advance for the partial month period commencing on the Closing Date for such Advance and ending on the last day of the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs. Borrower shall pay interest for such partial month on any such Advance at a rate per annum equal to interest rate described in the applicable Note.
3
(b) Interest on Advances. Each Advance shall bear interest at a rate, per annum, as set forth in the applicable Note.
Section 1.05. Notes.
The obligation of Borrower to repay each Advance shall be evidenced by a separate Fixed Facility Note or Variable Facility Note. Each Note shall be payable to the order of Lender and shall be made in the original principal amount of such Advance.
Section 1.06. Conversion of Variable Advances to Fixed Advances.
(a) Right to Convert. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation Section 1.10 below, Borrower shall have the right, from time to time during the Conversion Availability Period, to convert all or any portion of a Variable Advance to one (1) or more Fixed Advances (a Conversion). The Variable Facility Commitment shall be reduced by, and the Fixed Facility Commitment shall be increased by, such converted amount. No prepayment premiums shall be due in connection with such Conversion except in connection with a prepayment as provided in Section 1.07(c).
(b) Request. To convert all or a portion of a Variable Advance to one (1) or more Fixed Advances, Borrower shall deliver a Conversion Request to Lender.
Section 1.07. Conditions and Limitations on Right to Convert Advances.
Borrowers right to convert all or a portion of a Variable Advance to one (1) or more Fixed Advances is subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation Section 1.10 and the following limitations:
(a) Minimum Request. Each Conversion Request shall be in the minimum amount of $5,000,000, or any lesser amount of the Variable Advances then Outstanding.
(b) Compliance with Coverage and LTV Tests. Immediately after the proposed Conversion, the Coverage and LTV Tests shall be satisfied.
(c) Failure to Underwrite. In the event that the Coverage and LTV Tests would not be satisfied after the proposed Conversion, if Borrower continues to elect the Conversion, Borrower shall prepay a portion of the Advances Outstanding pursuant to Section 3.04(e) to meet the Coverage and LTV Tests and shall pay all prepayment premiums and other fees associated with such prepayment.
(d) Maturity Date of Converted Advances. Upon Conversion, such Advance shall have a maturity date elected by Borrower that shall be no earlier than the date that is the first day of the month following the date five (5) years after the Closing Date of such Conversion, and subject to Section 1.03(b), not later than the first day of the month following the date fifteen (15) years after the Initial Closing Date.
4
(e) General Conditions. Satisfaction of all applicable General Conditions contained in Section 5.01 and Section 5.07 on or before the Closing Date.
(f) Closing. The Closing Date shall occur during the Conversion Availability Period on a Rate Change Date. The Closing Date of a Conversion shall not be earlier than thirty (30) Business Days after Lenders receipt of the Conversion Request (or on such other date as Borrower and Lender may agree). Lender and Borrower shall execute and deliver, at the sole cost and expense of Borrower, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, the Conversion Documents to be effective as of the Closing Date.
Section 1.08. Interest Rate for Converted Advance.
The interest rate for any converted Advance shall be determined pursuant to the terms of Section 2.01 of this Agreement. The Margin applicable to the converted Advance shall be determined by Lender prior to such Conversion; provided that (a) with respect to an Advance converted within five (5) years of the original closing of such Variable Advance, the portion of the Margin comprising the Fixed Facility Fee for such converted Advance shall equal the Variable Facility Fee in effect at the original closing of such Variable Advance, and (b) with respect to an Advance converted after five (5) years of the original closing of such Variable Advance, the portion of the Margin comprising the Fixed Facility Fee for such converted Advance shall be mutually agreed to by Lender and Borrower.
Section 1.09. Interest Rate Protection.
(a) If required by Lender at the time of any Advance, to protect against fluctuations in interest rates during the term of this Agreement, pursuant to the terms of the Cap Security Agreement, Borrower shall make arrangements for a LIBOR-based interest rate cap in form and substance satisfactory to Lender with a counterparty satisfactory to Lender (Interest Rate Cap) to be in place and maintained at all times with respect to any Variable Advance that has been funded and remains Outstanding. The seller of the Interest Rate Cap (seller and its transferees and assigns, the Counterparty) shall be a financial institution meeting the minimum requirements for hedge counterparties acceptable to Lender. The Interest Rate Cap shall have a minimum initial term of four (4) years. Borrower shall be required to make Monthly Deposits (as defined in the Cap Security Agreement) to be held in an Interest Rate Cap Reserve Account (as defined in the Cap Security Agreement). As set forth in the Cap Security Agreement, Borrower agrees to pledge its right, title and interest in the Interest Rate Cap to Lender as additional collateral for the Obligations.
Section 1.10. Limitations on Executions.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, any Future Advance, whether a Variable Advance or a Fixed Advance, and any Conversion of an Advance shall be subject to the precondition that Lender must confirm with Fannie Mae that Fannie Mae is generally offering to purchase in the marketplace advances of the execution type requested by Borrower at the time of the request and at the time of the Rate Setting Date for the requested Advance. In the event Fannie Mae is not purchasing advances of the type requested by
5
Borrower, Lender agrees to offer, to the extent available from Fannie Mae, alternative advance executions based on the types of executions Fannie Mae is generally offering to purchase in the marketplace at that time. Any alternative execution offered would be subject to mutually agreeable documentation necessary to implement the terms and conditions of such alternative execution.
ARTICLE 2
THE ADVANCES
Section 2.01. Rate Setting for an Advance.
Rates for an Advance (whether drawn or converted) shall be set in accordance with the following procedures:
(a) Preliminary, Nonbinding Quote. At Borrowers request Lender shall quote an estimate of the interest rate for such proposed Advance. Lenders quote shall be based on (i) a solicitation of bids from institutional investors selected by Lender, and (ii) the proposed terms and amount of the Advance selected by Borrower. The quote shall not be binding upon Lender.
(b) Rate Setting. If Borrower substantially satisfies all of the conditions to Lenders obligation to make an Advance (or convert a Note, as applicable), then Borrower may request that Lender submit to Borrower a completed draft Rate Form. The draft Rate Form shall specify the proposed maximum interest rate for such Advance (Maximum Annual Interest Rate) and other terms set forth therein including, without limitation, the Fixed Facility Fee or the Variable Facility Fee, as applicable. If the draft Rate Form is approved by Borrower, Borrower shall execute and return the approved Rate Form to Lender before 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time or Eastern Daylight Savings Time, as applicable, on any Business Day (Rate Setting Date).
(c) Rate Confirmation. Within one (1) Business Day after receipt of the Rate Form and upon satisfaction of substantially all of the conditions to Lenders obligation to make such Advance (or for Conversion, as applicable), Lender shall solicit bids from institutional investors selected by Lender based on the information in the Rate Form. If Lender obtains a commitment (Funding Commitment) on terms equivalent to (or better than) the terms in the draft Rate Form, Lender shall then complete and countersign the Rate Form thereby confirming the terms set forth therein, and shall immediately deliver the confirmed Rate Form to Borrower. The interest rate for such Advance, as set forth in the confirmed Rate Form, shall be the most favorable bid, not to exceed the Maximum Annual Interest Rate.
Section 2.02. Breakage and Other Costs.
If Lender obtains, and then fails to fulfill the Funding Commitment because the Advance is not made (or the Conversion does not occur, as applicable) (for a reason other than Lenders default unless Lenders default results from or is on account of a default by Borrower), Borrower shall pay all reasonable third party, out-of-pocket costs payable to the potential investor and other reasonable costs, fees and actual damages incurred by Lender in connection with such failure to fulfill the Funding Commitment. Lender reserves the right to require Borrower to post a deposit at the time the Funding Commitment is obtained. Such deposit shall be refunded to Borrower upon the settlement of the related MBS or purchase of the Note by Fannie Mae, as applicable. For any Funding Commitment entered into after the Initial Closing Date, Borrowers obligations under the Funding Commitment shall be secured by each Mortgaged Property.

Section 2.03. Advances.
(a) Initial Advance. In connection with the Initial Advance, if all conditions precedent contained in Section 5.02 and the General Conditions contained in Section 5.01 are satisfied on or before the Initial Closing Date, Lender shall make the Initial Advance on the Initial Closing Date.
(b) Future Advance. Subject to Lenders consent to the making of a Future Advance pursuant to the terms of Section 1.10 and Section 2.05, Borrower may submit an Advance Request for a Future Advance in the minimum amount of $5,000,000. If all conditions precedent contained in Section 5.03 and Section 3.02 (if such Future Advance is being made in connection with an addition of Mortgaged Property) and the General Conditions contained in Section 5.01 are satisfied, and Lender has approved an increase in the Commitment pursuant to Section 1.10 and Section 2.05, Lender shall make the Future Advance, at a closing to be held at offices reasonably designated by Lender on a Closing Date reasonably agreed to by Lender and Borrower, which date shall not be more than three (3) Business Days after Borrowers receipt from Lender of the confirmed Rate Form (or on such other date as Borrower and Lender may agree).
Section 2.04. Determination of Allocable Facility Amount and Valuations.
(a) Initial Determinations. On the Initial Closing Date, Lender shall determine (i) the Allocable Facility Amount and Valuation for each Initial Mortgaged Property, (ii) the Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio and the Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio, and (iii) the Initial Advance Amount and the initial Commitment amount. Changes in Allocable Facility Amount, Valuations, the Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio and the Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio shall be made pursuant to Section 2.04(b).
(b) Subsequent Monitoring Determinations.
(i) Once each Calendar Quarter, within twenty (20) Business Days after Borrower has delivered to Lender the reports required in Section 8.03, Lender shall determine the Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio and the Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio. On the First Anniversary and on an annual basis thereafter, and if Lender decides that changed market or property conditions warrant, Lender shall redetermine Allocable Facility Amounts and Valuations. After the First Anniversary, Lender shall also redetermine Allocable Facility Amounts and Valuations before and after a Collateral Event and to take account of any Collateral Event or other event that invalidates the outstanding determinations. Upon receipt by Borrower of any such new determinations by Lender, Borrower shall promptly acknowledge such receipt.
(ii) Lender shall promptly disclose its determinations to Borrower. Until redetermined, the outstanding Allocable Facility Amounts and Valuations shall remain in effect.
7
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no change in Allocable Facility Amounts, Valuations, the Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio or the Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio shall result in a Potential Event of Default or Event of Default.
Section 2.05. Additional Financing; Future Advances Made on Decreases in Loan to Value Ratios and Increases in Debt Service Coverage Ratios.
(a) Subject to Section 1.10 and satisfaction of the conditions precedent in Section 5.01 and Section 5.03, Borrower may request an increase in the Commitment in order to draw additional financing with a fixed or variable interest rate (each such loan, a Future Advance). Any such Future Advance shall be subject to the Underwriting and Servicing Requirements. The Variable Facility Commitment and/or the Fixed Facility Commitment, as applicable, shall be increased by the amount of any Future Advance made by Lender. The maximum amount of any Future Advance shall be equal to or less than (x) the amount determined by the definition of Advance Amount and (y) the amount, when combined with Advances Outstanding, equal to or less than the maximum amount of Advances that could be Outstanding based on the Coverage and LTV Tests. Once made, any Future Advance hereunder shall be subject to this Agreement in all respects and shall be secured by the Security Instruments encumbering the Mortgaged Properties. Subject to the terms of Section 2.05(b) below, a Future Advance may be permitted with or without the addition of an Additional Mortgaged Property. Borrower agrees to pay the Additional Origination Fee, the Additional Collateral Due Diligence Fee (if an additional Mortgaged Property is added to the Collateral Pool in connection with such Future Advances), and any reasonable third party, out-of-pocket costs and expenses that may be charged by Lender in connection with a Future Advance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances shall Lender approve a request that results in the Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio exceeding ninety percent (90%).
(b) Pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.05(a), during the period beginning on the First Anniversary and ending on the Fifth Anniversary, but not more than twice during the term of the Credit Facility, Borrower may request and Lender may (subject to Section 1.10) consent to a Future Advance without the addition of Additional Mortgaged Property based on decreases in the Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio and increases in the Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio as determined by Lender in accordance with this Agreement and the Underwriting and Servicing Requirements. Borrower shall pay an Additional Origination Fee in connection with each Advance made pursuant to this Section 2.05(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances shall Lender approve a request that results in the Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio exceeding ninety percent (90%).

(iv) payment of the Release Price; and
(v) the requirements of Section 5.01 and Section 5.05 shall be satisfied.
(c) Release Price. The Release Price for each Release Mortgaged Property means the greater of:
10
(i) one hundred percent (100%) of the Allocable Facility Amount for the Release Mortgaged Property, or
(ii) one hundred percent (100%) of the amount of Advances Outstanding that are required to be repaid by Borrower to Lender in connection with the proposed release of the Release Mortgaged Property from the Collateral Pool so that, immediately after the release the conditions precedent set forth in clauses (i)-(ii) of Section 3.04(b) are satisfied.
In addition to the Release Price, Borrower shall pay to Lender all associated prepayment premiums, accrued interest and other amounts due under the Notes evidencing the Advances being repaid to and including the date such Advance may be repaid.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of the tests identified in clauses (b)(i) and (b)(ii) above would not be satisfied after the Release of the Mortgaged Property (but assuming clauses (b)(iii), (b)(iv) and (b)(v) above are satisfied), such Release shall be permitted provided that the Alternate Coverage and LTV Tests are met after giving effect to the Release and all other conditions in this Section 3.04 are met.
(e) Application of Release Price.
The Release Price for the Release Mortgaged Property shall be applied in reduction of the principal amounts of the Advances Outstanding in the order selected by Borrower, provided that (i) any amount of the Note that Borrower elects to prepay must be prepaid in full or, if the Release Price is not sufficient to do so, the Note shall be only partially prepaid; (ii) prepayment is permitted under such Note; (iii) any yield maintenance, fee maintenance, or other prepayment premium due and owing is paid; and (iv) interest is paid through the end of the month.

Section 3.05. Substitutions.
(a) Right to Substitute Collateral. Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of Article 3 and Article 5, Borrower shall have the right during the period beginning on the First Anniversary and ending on the date twelve (12) months prior to the Termination Date to obtain the Release of one or more Release Mortgaged Properties from the Collateral Pool by replacing such Release Mortgaged Property with one (1) or more additional Mortgaged Properties that meet the requirements of this Agreement (the Substitute Mortgaged Property) thereby effecting a Substitution of Collateral.
(b) Request. Borrower shall simultaneously deliver to Lender both a completed and executed Addition Request (unless a Substitute Mortgaged Property has not been identified by Borrower, in which case Borrower shall submit a Request that indicates a Substitute Mortgaged Property is undetermined, and not less than sixty (60) Calendar Days prior to the date on which Borrower desires to add such Substitute Mortgaged Property, but not later than sixty (60) Calendar Days prior to the Property Delivery Deadline (defined hereinafter) shall submit a supplemental Addition Request that identifies the proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property) and Release Request (together, the Substitution Request). Each Substitution Request shall be accompanied by the following: (i) the information required by the Underwriting and Servicing Requirements with respect to the proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property and any additional information Lender reasonably requests; and (ii) the payment of all Additional Collateral Due Diligence Fees.
12
(c) Underwriting.
(i) Lender shall evaluate the proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property for compliance with the requirements and conditions precedent set forth in this Agreement. Lender shall determine the Debt Service Coverage Ratio and the Loan to Value Ratio of the proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property and the Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio and the Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio applicable to the Collateral Pool. The Loan to Value Ratio and Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio, shall be determined on the basis of the lesser of (A) the acquisition price of the proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property if purchased by Borrower in an arms-length transaction within twelve (12) months of the related Substitution Request, and (B) a Valuation made with respect to the proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property.
(ii) A Substitution shall be permitted provided that all of the following conditions precedent are satisfied:
(A)(1) the Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio of the proposed Collateral Pool immediately following the Substitution will be less than or equal to the lesser of (a) sixty percent (60%) and (b) the Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio of the Collateral Pool immediately prior to the Substitution; and
(2) the Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio of the proposed Collateral Pool immediately following the Substitution will be greater than or equal to the greater of (a) 1.55:1.0 for the portion of the Advances drawn from the Fixed Facility Commitment and 1.35:1.0 for the portion of the Advances drawn from the Variable Facility Commitment and (b) the Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio of the Collateral Pool immediately prior to the Substitution.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of the tests identified in clauses (c)(ii)(A)(1) and (2) above are not satisfied, such Substitution shall be permitted provided that the Alternate Coverage and LTV Tests are met after giving effect to the Substitution and all other conditions in this Section 3.05 are met.
(B) as of the Closing Date, the Substitute Mortgaged Property shall be leased to an Operator pursuant to the Operating Lease and subject to a Management Agreement with a Manager; and
(C) all conditions precedent contained in this Section 3.05 and Section 5.01, Section 5.05 and Section 5.06 are satisfied.
(iii) After receipt of (1) the Substitution Request and (2) all reports, certificates and documents required to determine compliance with this Agreement, Lender shall notify Borrower whether the proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property meets the requirements of Section 3.05(c)(ii) for a Substitution. If the proposed Substitution meets the conditions set forth
13
in this Agreement, Lender shall calculate the Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio and the Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio that Lender estimates shall result from the proposed Substitution. After receipt of Lenders written confirmation that the proposed Substitution will satisfy the conditions precedent of Section 3.05(c)(ii), Borrower shall notify Lender in writing whether it elects to add the proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property to the Collateral Pool.
(iv) Borrower may substitute one or more Mortgaged Properties that have Allocable Facility Amounts greater than the Allocable Facility Amount of the Release Mortgaged Property. Borrower may substitute one or more Substitute Mortgaged Properties that have an aggregate Allocable Facility Amount that is less than the Allocable Facility Amount of the Release Mortgaged Property, provided that if Borrower advises Lender that no further property will be substituted or the Property Delivery Deadline has elapsed, then Borrower shall promptly pay the Release Price applicable to such Release Mortgaged Property after taking into account the Substitute Mortgaged Property(ies) to be added to the Collateral Pool, together with all yield maintenance, fee maintenance or prepayment premiums that are payable in connection such prepayment amount.
(d) Closing. If the Substitution and the proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property satisfies all the conditions set forth in this Section 3.05, and Borrower timely elects to cause such Substitution to occur, then the proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property(ies) shall be substituted into the Collateral Pool in replacement of the proposed Release Mortgaged Property, at a closing to be held at offices designated by Lender on a Closing Date agreed to by Lender and Borrower, and occurring
(i) if the Substitution of the proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property(ies) is to occur simultaneously with the release of the proposed Release Mortgaged Property, within sixty (60) days after Lenders receipt of Borrowers Substitution Request (or on such other date to which Borrower and Lender may agree); or
(ii) if the Substitution of the proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property(ies) is to occur subsequent to the Release of the Release Mortgaged Property (a Staggered Substitution), within ninety (90) days after the effective date of the release of such Release Mortgaged Property (provided such date shall be extended an additional ninety (90) days if Borrower provides reasonable evidence of Borrowers diligent efforts in finding a suitable proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property) (the Property Delivery Deadline).
(e) Substitution Deposit.
(i) The Deposit. If a Substitution is a Staggered Substitution, on or before the Closing Date of the Release of the Release Mortgaged Property, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the Substitution Deposit described below in the form of cash in a non-interest bearing account held by Lender as additional Collateral. In lieu of (or in partial satisfaction of) depositing cash for the Substitution Deposit, Borrower may post a Letter of Credit as additional Collateral issued by a financial institution acceptable to Lender in accordance with the terms of Section 5.11 of this Agreement, with a face amount available to be drawn equal to the Substitution Deposit (less any amount that has been deposited in cash).
14
(ii) Substitution Deposit Amount.
(A) The Substitution Deposit for each proposed Staggered Substitution shall be an amount equal to the sum of:
(1) the Release Price relating to the Release Mortgaged Property, plus
(2) any and all of the yield maintenance, fee maintenance or the prepayment premium, as applicable, for the Selected Note that shall be prepaid if the Substitution fails to take place, calculated as of the end of the month in which the Property Delivery Deadline occurs, as if the Selected Note were to be prepaid in such month; plus
(3) a deposit of $6,000 per Substitute Mortgaged Property to be applied towards the estimated third party, out-of-pocket costs and expenses and fees of Lender pertaining to the Substitution (the Substitution Cost Deposit); plus
(4) without duplication to any other amounts included in this definition of Substitution Deposit, in the event that (a) at the time of the Release no Note is prepayable (i.e. all Notes are subject to a lockout period) or (b) the Release Price is in excess of all Notes that are open to prepayment, all scheduled principal and interest due and owing through the end of the lockout period with respect to such Selected Note.
(B) The Substitution Cost Deposit shall be used by Lender to cover all reasonable third party, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender and Fannie Mae, including legal fees and expenses incurred by Fannie Mae and Lender in connection with such Substitution whether such Substitution actually closes (the Substitution Costs). On or prior to the Closing Date of the Substitution, Lender shall notify Borrower of the actual amount of the Substitution Costs incurred by Lender and Fannie Mae in connection with the Substitution and Borrower shall, on or before the Substitution Closing Date, pay to Lender the remainder of such Substitution Costs (if the actual amount of the Substitution Costs exceed the Substitution Cost Deposit and the other amounts previously deposited with Lender by Borrower) or Lender shall promptly refund to Borrower any Substitution Cost Deposit deposited with Lender by Borrower in excess of the Substitution Costs (if the actual amount of the Substitution Costs is less than the Substitution Cost Deposit deposited with Lender by Borrower).
(C) With respect to the Substitution Deposit, in determining which Notes shall be prepaid, the order of application shall be governed by Section 3.04(e).
(iii) Failure to Close Substitution. If the addition of the proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property does not occur by the Property Delivery Deadline in accordance with Section 3.05(d)(ii), then Borrower shall have irrevocably waived its right to substitute such Release Mortgaged Property with the proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property, and the release of
15
the Release Mortgaged Property shall be deemed to be a Release pursuant to Section 3.04 and shall trigger a prepayment of the Release Price, together with all yield maintenance, fee maintenance or prepayment premium then due in connection with such payment. In such event, Borrower shall pay Lender all amounts that would be payable under Section 3.04 upon such a Release and prepayment, and such payment shall be applied in the manner prescribed for Release Prices pursuant to Section 3.04(e). The Substitution Deposit shall be applied by Lender in payment of the Release Price, together with all yield maintenance, fee maintenance or prepayment premium then due in connection with such payment. Any portion of the Substitution Deposit not needed to make such payment shall be promptly refunded to Borrower after the Property Delivery Deadline.
(iv) Substitution Deposit Disbursement. At closing of the Substitution, Lender shall disburse or return the Substitution Deposit, as applicable (less any portion of the Substitution Costs), directly to Borrower at such time as the conditions precedent in Section 3.05, Section 5.01, Section 5.05 and Section 5.06 for the Substitution have been satisfied, which must occur no later than the Property Delivery Deadline. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Borrower adds a Substitute Property to the Collateral Pool prior to the Property Delivery Deadline but the addition of such Substitute Mortgaged Property has not in and of itself satisfied the requirements of Section 3.05(c)(ii)(A), the Substitution Deposit shall be reduced by the Allocable Facility Amount for such Substitute Mortgaged Property, and such reduction in the Substitution Deposit shall be returned to Borrower, or in the case of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit shall be reduced by such reduction in the Substitution Deposit. If Borrower has not satisfied the requirements to close the Substitution by the Property Delivery Deadline, the terms of Section 3.05(e)(iii) shall apply with respect to the remaining Substitution Deposit.
(f) Conditions Precedent to Substitutions. The obligation of Lender to make a requested Substitution is also subject to satisfaction of each of the conditions precedent for additions of Substitute Mortgaged Properties and Releases of Release Mortgaged Properties set forth in Section 5.01 and Section 5.06 of this Agreement.
(g) Restriction on Borrowings. If the addition of the Substitute Mortgaged Property to the Collateral Pool and the release of the Release Mortgaged Property from the Collateral Pool do not occur simultaneously then, until the addition of the Substitute Mortgaged Property to the Collateral Pool, no Future Advances or other Requests (other than a Credit Facility Termination Request, which shall be permitted subject to satisfaction of the conditions in Article 4, and other than a Conversion pursuant to a Conversion Request, which shall be permitted subject to satisfaction of the conditions in Section 1.07; provided, however, with respect to any Conversion, the Substitution Deposit shall be recalculated based on the provisions in this Section 3.05 and Borrower shall deposit with Lender as additional Collateral all increases, if any, in such Substitution Deposit within five (5) days after receipt of notice of the same) will be permitted unless and until the provisions of Section 3.05(e)(iii) are satisfied.
(h) Additional Requirement for Staggered Substitutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Staggered Substitution shall be permitted unless the Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio of the Collateral Pool immediately after the Release of the Release Mortgaged Property is less than or equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%). For the purposes of the foregoing requirement, neither the value of the Substitution Deposit nor the value of any undelivered Substitute Mortgaged Property shall be taken into account.

(b) The Waiving Borrower hereby waives any defense it may now or hereafter have that relates to: (i) any disability or other defense of the other Borrower or any other person; (ii) the cessation, from any cause other than full performance, of the Other Borrower Secured Obligation; (iii) the application of the proceeds of the Other Borrower Secured Obligation, by the other Borrower or any other person, for purposes other than the purposes represented to the Waiving Borrower by the other Borrower or otherwise intended or understood by the Waiving Borrower or the other Borrower; (iv) any act or omission by Lender which directly or indirectly results in or contributes to the release of the other Borrower or any other person or any collateral for any Other Borrower Secured Obligation; (v) the unenforceability or invalidity of any Security Document or Loan Document (other than the Security Instrument executed by the Waiving Borrower that secures the Other Borrower Secured Obligation) or guaranty with respect to any Other Borrower Secured Obligation, or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or lack of priority of any Lien (other than the Lien of such Security Instrument) which secures any Other Borrower Secured Obligation; (vi) any failure of Lender to marshal assets in favor of the Waiving Borrower or any other person; (vii) any modification of any Other Borrower Secured Obligation, including any renewal, extension, acceleration or increase in interest rate; (viii) any and all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Lender, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed the Waiving Borrowers rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise; (ix) any law which provides that the obligation of a surety or guarantor must neither be larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal or which reduces a suretys or guarantors obligation in proportion to the principal obligation; (x) any failure of Lender to file or enforce a claim in any bankruptcy or other proceeding with respect to any person; (xi) the election by Lender, in any bankruptcy proceeding of any person, of the application or non-application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; (xii) any extension of credit or the grant of any lien under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code; (xiii) any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code; or (xiv) any agreement or stipulation with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding of any person. The Waiving Borrower further waives any and all rights and defenses that it may have because the Other Borrower Secured Obligation is secured by real property; this means, among other things, that: (A) Lender may collect from the Waiving Borrower without first
59
foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by the other Borrower; (B) if Lender forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by the other Borrower, then (C) the amount of the Other Borrower Secured Obligation may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price; and (D) Lender may foreclose on the real property encumbered by the Security Instrument executed by the Waiving Borrower and securing the Other Borrower Secured Obligation even if Lender, by foreclosing on the real property collateral of the Other Borrower, has destroyed any right the Waiving Borrower may have to collect from the Other Borrower. Subject to the last sentence of Section 14.03, the foregoing sentence is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses the Waiving Borrower may have because the Other Borrower Secured Obligation is secured by real property. These rights and defenses being waived by the Waiving Borrower include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision hereof, the Waiving Borrower further expressly waives, except as provided in Section 14.04(g) below, to the extent permitted by law any and all rights and defenses, which might otherwise be available to it under California Civil Code Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, 2899 and 3433, or under California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 580a, 580b, 580d and 726, or any of such sections.
(c) The Waiving Borrower hereby waives any and all benefits and defenses under California Civil Code Section 2810 and agrees that by doing so the Security Instrument executed by the Waiving Borrower and securing the Other Borrower Secured Obligation shall be and remain in full force and effect even if the other Borrower had no liability at the time of incurring the Other Borrower Secured Obligation, or thereafter ceases to be liable. The Waiving Borrower hereby waives any and all benefits and defenses under California Civil Code Section 2809 and agrees that by doing so the Waiving Borrowers liability may be larger in amount and more burdensome than that of the other Borrower. The Waiving Borrower hereby waives the benefit of all principles or provisions of law, which are or might be in conflict with the terms of any of its waivers, and agrees that the Waiving Borrowers waivers shall not be affected by any circumstances, which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or a guarantor. The Waiving Borrower hereby waives the benefits of any right of discharge and all other rights under any and all statutes or other laws relating to guarantors or sureties, to the fullest extent permitted by law, diligence in collecting the Other Borrower Secured Obligation, presentment, demand for payment, protest, all notices with respect to the Other Borrower Secured Obligation, which may be required by statute, rule of law or otherwise to preserve Lenders rights against the Waiving Borrower hereunder, including notice of acceptance, notice of any amendment of the Loan Documents evidencing the Other Borrower Secured Obligation, notice of the occurrence of any default or Event of Default, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, notice of dishonor, notice of foreclosure, notice of protest, notice of the incurring by the other Borrower of any obligation or indebtedness and all rights to require Lender to (i) proceed against the other Borrower, (ii) proceed against any general partner or managing member of the other Borrower, (iii) proceed against or exhaust any collateral held by Lender to secure the Other Borrower Secured Obligation, or (iv) if the other Borrower is a partnership, pursue any other remedy it may have against the other Borrower, or any general partner of the other Borrower, including any and all benefits under California Civil Code Sections 2845, 2849 and 2850.
60
(d) The Waiving Borrower understands that the exercise by Lender of certain rights and remedies contained in a Security Instrument executed by the other Borrower (such as a nonjudicial foreclosure sale) may affect or eliminate the Waiving Borrowers right of subrogation against the other Borrower and that the Waiving Borrower may therefore incur a partially or totally nonreimburseable liability. Nevertheless, the Waiving Borrower hereby authorizes and empowers Lender to exercise, in its sole and absolute discretion, any right or remedy, or any combination thereof, which may then be available, since it is the intent and purpose of the Waiving Borrower that its waivers shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances.
(e) In accordance with Section 2856 of the California Civil Code, the Waiving Borrower also waives any right or defense based upon an election of remedies by Lender, even though such election (e.g., nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to any collateral held by Lender to secure repayment of the Other Borrower Secured Obligation) destroys or otherwise impairs the subrogation rights of the Waiving Borrower to any right to proceed against the other Borrower for reimbursement, or both, by operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.
(f) In accordance with Section 2856 of the California Civil Code, the Waiving Borrower waives any and all other rights and defenses available to the Waiving Borrower by reason of Sections 2787 through 2855, inclusive, of the California Civil Code, including any and all rights or defenses the Waiving Borrower may have by reason of protection afforded to the other Borrower with respect to the Other Borrower Secured Obligation pursuant to the antideficiency or other laws of the State of California limiting or discharging the Other Borrower Secured Obligation, including Sections 580a, 580b, 580d, and 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.
(g) In accordance with Section 2856 of the California Civil Code and pursuant to any other Applicable Law, the Waiving Borrower agrees to withhold the exercise of any and all subrogation, contribution and reimbursement rights against the other Borrower, against any other person, and against any collateral or security for the Other Borrower Secured Obligation, including any such rights pursuant to Sections 2847 and 2848 of the California Civil Code, until the Other Borrower Secured Obligation has been indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full, all obligations owed to Lender under the Loan Documents have been fully performed, and Lender has released, transferred or disposed of all of their right, title and interest in such collateral or security.
(h) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that in the event that, notwithstanding Section 14.04(g) hereof, to the extent its agreement and waiver set forth in Section 14.04(g) is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason and such Borrower has any subrogation or other rights against any other Borrower, any such claims, direct or indirect, that such Borrower may have by subrogation rights or other form of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity, against any other Borrower or to any security or any such Borrower, shall be and such rights, claims and indebtedness are hereby deferred, postponed and fully subordinated in time and right of payment to the prior payment, performance and satisfaction in full of the Obligations. Until payment and performance in full with interest
61
(including post-petition interest in any case under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code) of the Obligations, each Borrower agrees not to accept any payment or satisfaction of any kind of Indebtedness of any other Borrower in respect of any such subrogation rights arising by virtue of payments made pursuant to this Article 14, and hereby assigns such rights or indebtedness to Lender, including the right to file proofs of claim and to vote thereon in connection with any case under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, including the right to vote on any plan of reorganization. In the event that any payment on account of any such subrogation rights shall be received by any Borrower in violation of the foregoing, such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of Lender, and any amount so collected should be turned over to Lender for application to the Obligations.
(i) At any time without notice to the Waiving Borrower, and without affecting or prejudicing the right of Lender to proceed against the Collateral described in any Loan Document executed by the Waiving Borrower and securing the Other Borrower Secured Obligation, (i) the time for payment of the principal of or interest on, or the performance of, the Other Borrower Secured Obligation may be extended or the Other Borrower Secured Obligation may be renewed in whole or in part; (ii) the time for the other Borrowers performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreement contained in the Loan Documents evidencing the Other Borrower Secured Obligation, whether presently existing or hereinafter entered into, may be extended or such performance or compliance may be waived; (iii) the maturity of the Other Borrower Secured Obligation may be accelerated as provided in the related Note or any other related Loan Document; (iv) the related Note or any other related Loan Document may be modified or amended by Lender and the other Borrower in any respect, including an increase in the principal amount; and (v) any security for the Other Borrower Secured Obligation may be modified, exchanged, surrendered or otherwise dealt with or additional security may be pledged or mortgaged for the Other Borrower Secured Obligation.
(j) It is agreed among each Borrower and Lender that all of the foregoing waivers are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the Loan Documents and that but for the provisions of this Section 14.04 and such waivers Lender would decline to enter into this Agreement.
Section 14.05. Joint and Several Obligation; Cross-Guaranty.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary (but subject to the last sentence of this Section 14.05 and the provisions of Section 14.01 and Section 14.12), each Borrower shall have joint and several liability for all Obligations. Notwithstanding the intent of all of the parties to this Agreement that all Obligations of each Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be joint and several Obligations of each Borrower, each Borrower, on a joint and several basis, hereby irrevocably guarantees to Lender and its successors and assigns, the full and prompt payment (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and performance of, all Obligations owed or hereafter owing to Lender by each other Borrower. Subject to Section 14.01, each Borrower agrees that its guaranty obligation hereunder is an unconditional guaranty of payment and performance and not merely a guaranty of collection. The Obligations of each Borrower under this Agreement shall not be subject to any counterclaim, set-off, recoupment, deduction, cross- claim or defense based upon any claim any Borrower may have against Lender or any other Borrower.
62
Section 14.06. No Impairment.
Each Borrower agrees that the provisions of this Article 14 are for the benefit of Lender and their successors, transferees, endorsees and assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair, as between any other Borrower and Lender, the obligations of such other Borrower under the Loan Documents.
Section 14.07. Election of Remedies.
(a) Lender, in its discretion, may (i) bring suit against any one or more Borrower, jointly and severally, without any requirement that Lender first proceed against any other Borrower or any other Person; (ii) compromise or settle with any one or more Borrower, or any other Person, for such consideration as Lender may deem proper; (iii) release one or more Borrower, or any other Person, from liability; and (iv) otherwise deal with any Borrower and any other Person, or any one or more of them, in any manner, or resort to any of the Collateral at any time held by it for performance of the Obligations or any other source or means of obtaining payment of the Obligations, and no such action shall impair the rights of Lender to collect from any Borrower any amount guaranteed by any Borrower under this Article 14.
(b) If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, Lender shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its rights to enter a deficiency judgment against any Borrower or any other Person, whether because of any Applicable Laws pertaining to election of remedies or the like, each Borrower hereby consents to such action by Lender and waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by Lender shall result in a full or partial loss or any rights of subrogation which each Borrower might otherwise have had but for such action by Lender. Any election of remedies which results in the denial or impairment of the right of Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against any Borrower shall not impair any other Borrowers obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations. In the event Lender shall bid at any foreclosure or trustees sale or at any private sale permitted by law or any of the Loan Documents, Lender may bid all or less than the amount of the Obligations and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Lender but shall be credited against the Obligations. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Lender or any other party is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be fair market value of the Collateral and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be amount of the Obligations guaranteed under this Article 14, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision or ruling may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Lender might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.
Section 14.08. Subordination of Other Obligations.
(a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all amounts payable from time to time to such Borrower by any other Borrower pursuant to any agreement, whether secured or unsecured, whether of principal, interest or otherwise, other than the amounts
63
referred to in this Article 14 (collectively, the Subordinated Obligations), shall be and such rights, claims and indebtedness are, hereby deferred, postponed and fully subordinated in time and right of payment to the prior payment, performance and satisfaction in full of the Obligations; provided, however, that payments may be received by any Borrower in accordance with, and only in accordance with, the provisions of Section 14.08(b) hereof.
(b) Until the Obligations under all the Loan Documents have been finally paid in full or fully performed and all the Loan Documents have been terminated, each Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally agrees it will not ask, demand, sue for, take or receive, directly or indirectly, by set-off, redemption, purchase or in any other manner whatsoever, any payment with respect to, or any security or guaranty for, the whole or any part of the Subordinated Obligations, and in issuing documents, instruments or agreements of any kind evidencing the Subordinated Obligations, each Borrower hereby agrees that it will not receive any payment of any kind on account of the Subordinated Obligations, so long as any of the Obligations under all the Loan Documents are Outstanding or any of the terms and conditions of any of the Loan Documents are in effect; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default or both has occurred and is continuing under any of the Loan Documents, then (i) payments may be received by such Borrower in respect of the Subordinated Obligations in accordance with the stated terms thereof, and (ii) each Borrower and Guarantor shall be permitted to make distributions in accordance with the terms of the applicable Organizational Documents. Except as aforesaid, each Borrower agrees not to accept any payment or satisfaction of any kind of indebtedness of any other Borrower in respect of the Subordinated Obligations and hereby assigns such rights or indebtedness to Fannie Mae, including the right to file proofs of claim and to vote thereon in connection with any case under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, including the right to vote on any plan of reorganization. In the event that any payment on account of Subordinated Obligations shall be received by any Borrower in violation of the foregoing, such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of Lender, and any amount so collected shall be turned over to Lender upon demand.
Section 14.09. Insolvency and Liability of Other Borrower.
So long as any of the Obligations are Outstanding, if a petition under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code is filed by or against any Borrower (the Subject Borrower for the purposes of Section 14.09, Section 14.10, Section 14.11 and Section 14.12 of this Agreement), each other Borrower (each, an Other Borrower for the purposes of Section 14.09, Section 14.10, Section 14.11 and Section 14.12 of this Agreement) agrees to file all claims against the Subject Borrower in any bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is required by law in connection with indebtedness owed by the Subject Borrower and to assign to Lender all rights thereunder up to the amount of such indebtedness. In all such cases, the Person or Persons authorized to pay such claims shall pay to Lender the full amount thereof and Lender agrees to pay such Other Borrower any amounts received in excess of the amount necessary to pay the Obligations. Each Other Borrower hereby assigns to Lender all of such Borrowers rights to all such payments to which such Other Borrower would otherwise be entitled but not to exceed the full amount of the Obligations. In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such payment shall be received by any Other Borrower before the Obligations shall have been finally paid in full, such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of and shall be paid over to Lender upon demand. Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of each Borrower hereunder shall in no way be affected by:
64
(a) the release or discharge of any Other Borrower in any creditors, receivership, bankruptcy or other proceedings; or
(b) the impairment, limitation or modification of the liability of any Other Borrower or the estate of any Other Borrower in bankruptcy resulting from the operation of any present or future provisions of any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code or other statute or from the decision in any court.
Section 14.10. Preferences, Fraudulent Conveyances, Etc.
If Lender is required to refund, or voluntarily refunds, any payment received from any Borrower because such payment is or may be avoided, invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside or determined to be void or voidable as a preference, fraudulent conveyance, impermissible setoff or a diversion of trust funds under the bankruptcy laws or for any similar reason, including without limitation any judgment, order or decree of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over any Borrower or any of its property, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor, custodian or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Borrower or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, or any statement or compromise of any claim effected by Lender with any Borrower or any other claimant (a Rescinded Payment), then each Other Borrowers liability to Lender shall continue in full force and effect, or each Other Borrowers liability to Lender shall be reinstated and renewed, as the case may be, with the same effect and to the same extent as if the Rescinded Payment had not been received by Lender, notwithstanding the cancellation or termination of any of the Loan Documents, and regardless of whether Lender contested the order requiring the return of such payment. In addition, each Other Borrower shall pay, or reimburse Lender for, all expenses (including all reasonable attorneys fees, court costs and related disbursements) incurred by Lender in the defense of any claim that a payment received by Lender in respect of all or any part of the Obligations must be refunded. The provisions of this Section 14.10 shall survive the termination of the Loan Documents and any satisfaction and discharge of any Borrower by virtue of any payment, court order or any federal or state law.
Section 14.11. Maximum Liability of Each Borrower.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents to the contrary, if the obligations of any Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any Security Instruments granted by any Borrower are determined to exceed the reasonably equivalent value received by such Borrower in exchange for such obligations or grant of such Security Instruments under any Fraudulent Transfer Law (as hereinafter defined), then such liability of such Borrower shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations under this Agreement or all other Loan Documents subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any applicable provisions of comparable state law (collectively, the Fraudulent Transfer Laws), in each case after giving effect to all other
65
liabilities of such Borrower, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of such Borrower in respect of Indebtedness to any Other Borrower or any other Person that is an Affiliate of the Other Borrower to the extent that such Indebtedness would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such Borrower in respect of the Obligations) and after giving effect (as assets) to the value (as determined under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution of such Borrower pursuant to Applicable Law or pursuant to the terms of any agreement including any contribution agreement.
Section 14.12. Liability Cumulative.
The liability of each Borrower under this Article 14 is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of such Borrower to Lender under this Agreement and all the other Loan Documents to which such Borrower is a party or in respect of any Obligations of any Other Borrower.
ARTICLE 15
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single agreement.

MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
THIS MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (this Agreement) is effective as of July 5, 2012 (the Effective Date), and is entered into by and between Willow Park Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Manager) and Willow Park Leasing LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Tenant). Tenant intends to lease the senior living facility known as Willow Park (the Facility), which is located at 2600 North Milwaukee Street, Boise, Idaho 83704, from Willow Park Owner LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Owner) pursuant to the terms of that certain Master Lease and Security Agreement (the Master Lease) by and among Tenant and certain other parties, collectively as Tenant, and Owner and certain other parties, collectively as Landlord, and desires to retain Manager to manage and operate the Facility pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. As parties hereto, Manager and Tenant agree:
1. Appointment/Subordination to Master Lease and Facility Loan Documents: Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Tenant hereby appoints Manager as its exclusive operating, managing and leasing agent, which includes the power and authority to act in the name of and on behalf of Tenant to transact business and make and execute contracts, leases, and other writings, assurances, and instruments which may be needed to operate and manage the Facility. Manager hereby accepts such appointment, together with all the rights, powers, and authority provided by Tenant, and Manager hereby agrees that as the operator of the Facility, it shall have responsibility for the care provided at the Facility and for the compliance of the Facility with Applicable Law. Although ultimate responsibility for the day to day operations at the Facility will be and remain with Manager, Tenant shall retain its leasehold interest in, and nothing herein shall be construed to give Manager any leasehold or other interest in (other than such rights to possession or use as may be required to allow Manager to perform its obligations under this Agreement): (a) the Facility; or (b) any assets (including, without limitation, any furnishings, fixtures, trade fixtures, equipment, supplies, consumables, inventories, tangible and intangible personal property, accounts and accounts receivable, agreements with residents and other contracts or agreements relating to the Facility (excluding any National Contract (as defined in Section 2(f)), and insurance proceeds as set forth in Section 7(e)) necessary or convenient to the ownership, leasing, use, and operation of the Facility and acquired with Owners or Tenants funds or revenues of the Facility.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) Manager acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Master Lease and (ii) Manager acknowledges and agrees (for itself and any successor to Manager, subject to the transfer restrictions set forth herein, in the Master Lease and the Facility Loan Documents) that this Agreement and the rights of Manager hereunder shall be subject and subordinate to the Master Lease and the rights of Owner thereunder and to any Facility Loan Documents and the rights of the Facility Lender thereunder.
2. Management and Consulting Responsibilities of Manager:
(a) Administrator/Executive Director: Manager shall recruit, evaluate, select and discharge the Facilitys administrator/executive director, who shall be responsible for the functional operation of the Facility and execution on a day-to-day basis of policies established by Manager in accordance with this Agreement.
(b) Personnel:
(i) Manager (or an Affiliate of Manager) shall be the employer of all personnel employed at the Facility from time to time and certain off-site personnel. Subject in
1
each case to the terms and conditions of Section 2(iv) hereof, (a) all matters pertaining to the employment, supervision, compensation, promotion and discharge of employees at the Facility are the responsibility of Manager, with respect to which Manager shall exercise reasonable care, (b) Manager shall maintain staffing levels at the Facility at all times at levels which are sufficient to meet the needs of the residents and to cause the Facility to be operated in compliance with Applicable Law, (c) Manager shall have the sole power to hire, discipline and/or dismiss all personnel employed at the Facility and all staffing decisions shall be made solely by Manager, and (d) Manager shall establish all necessary and desirable personnel policies, wage structures and staff schedules for employment of personnel at the Facility.
(ii) Subject to prior notice to Tenant, Manager shall negotiate with any union lawfully entitled to represent employees and may execute in its own name, and not as agent for Tenant, collective bargaining agreements or labor contracts resulting therefrom.
(iii) Manager shall comply with all Applicable Laws having to do with workers compensation, social security, unemployment insurance, hours of labor, wages, working conditions and other employer/employee related subjects.
(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant becomes dissatisfied with the performance of the administrator/executive director or health services director, Tenant shall have the right, and Manager shall provide Tenant the opportunity promptly following Tenants request, to discuss with representatives of Manager in charge of operating the Facility such dissatisfaction and/or to consult regarding replacement of such person or otherwise putting in place a performance action plan for such person, provided the final staffing decision shall be made by Manager.
(c) Operational Policies: Manager shall maintain and develop all operational policies, procedures and manuals as may be necessary to ensure the ongoing licensure of Manager and/or the Facility and to ensure establishment and maintenance of the standards of resident care/services appropriate for the nature of the Facility; provided, however, that Manager shall not make any material change to the type of services offered at the Facility without obtaining the prior written consent of Tenant. Manager may not add or expand any government or third party payor programs without prior written consent of Tenant.
(d) Forms: Manager shall maintain and develop all invoices and other such forms necessary and desirable for effective, efficient and professional operation of the Facility.

Tenant shall be deemed to have approved any contract with a termination fee of less than $2,500. Except for termination of contracts as of the expiration or termination of this Agreement as provided in this Section, Manager may not terminate any contracts that will result in termination fees to Tenant without Tenants prior written consent. Manager shall use good faith efforts to negotiate terms in each contract (other than National Contracts and any contract with a term of sixty (60) days or less) (x) permitting assignment to Tenant or its designee upon expiration or termination of this Agreement at no cost to Tenant or its designee and (y) to not include any termination fees.

(j) Equipment and Improvements:
(i) Manager shall advise Tenant as to equipment at and improvements to the Facility which are needed to maintain licenses, comply with Applicable Laws and/or which are necessary to replace obsolete or run-down equipment. Tenant shall review and act upon Managers recommendations as soon as practicable. Manager shall not be liable for any cost or liability which Manager or Tenant may incur in the event Tenant disregards Managers recommendations (including, without limitation, any cost or liability arising from any failure to comply with this Agreement, and Manager shall not be deemed to be in default hereunder as a result thereof) to the extent any such cost or liability incurred arises or results, directly or indirectly, from the failure of Tenant to follow or to act upon such recommendations. Manager shall maintain the equipment and improvements in the same or better condition as existed as of the Effective Date (or, if applicable, as of such later date of completion of a capital improvement or equipment purchase with respect to such improvement or equipment), ordinary wear and tear and casualty excepted, and Manager shall cause all repairs, replacements and maintenance to be performed for such purpose; provided, however, that the same shall at all times be undertaken in a workmanlike and lien free manner. Subject to the terms of Section 2(j)(ii) below, in performing the foregoing repairs, replacements and improvements, Manager shall use the Facilitys on-site maintenance personnel, as and where possible, and shall contract with qualified third parties to provide the necessary services, and shall undertake the same or cause the same to be undertaken in a workman-like and lien-free manner.
(ii) Tenant, in its sole discretion, may elect to make any repairs or capital improvements at the Facility that are unbudgeted, provided the cost for such additional repairs or capital improvements are paid by the Tenant outside of the Annual Budget (or pursuant to a modification of the Annual Budget) (each, a Tenant Project). With respect to any Tenant Project, except with respect to an emergency (in which case prior notice shall be provided to Manager to the extent practicable), Tenant shall provide not less than thirty (30) days written notice of the proposed repair or capital improvement project and coordinate with Manager to minimize disruption to operations at the Facility. If any repair or capital improvement project undertaken pursuant to the terms of this Section 2(j)(ii) results in one (1) or more Disrupted Units, (x) with respect to any month in which all or a portion of a Disruption Period occurs, the Fee paid to Manager shall not be less than the average Fee paid for the most recent three (3) month period during which there existed no Disrupted Unit, and (y) with respect to any calendar quarter, the terms of Section 9(a)(vi) hereof shall not apply and Tenant shall have no termination right thereunder, if any portion of a Disruption Period occurs during such calendar quarter. Manager shall cause any repair or capital improvement contemplated by this Section 2(j)(ii) to be completed pursuant to Section 2(h); provided, however, if any such repair or capital improvement project is estimated to cost $50,000 or more, at Tenants sole election, Tenant shall have the right to manage and control the project including, but not limited to, selecting and managing the contractors. If Tenant makes such election to manage and control any project (such project, a
4
Tenant Controlled Project), Manager shall have no liability or obligation hereunder or otherwise with respect to any Tenant Controlled Project, the personnel and/or contractors selected by Tenant or their performance (or failure to perform), the quality of their work and/or any claims, demands, causes of action, losses, damages, fines, penalties, liabilities, costs and expenses that arise from any Tenant Controlled Project, and Tenant shall be solely responsible for any Tenant Controlled Project and indemnify and hold harmless Manager for any liability arising out of any such Tenant Controlled Project.

All financial reports shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP. Manager will prepare or cause to be prepared, and file or cause to be filed, all property-level tax returns of the Facility, including sales and use tax returns, personal property tax returns and business, professional and occupational license tax returns. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Facility to be operated in a manner to assure that Tenant and the Facility receive all benefits of applicable tax exemptions or credits available thereto from any Governmental Authority. Manager shall provide Tenant data in Managers possession, or otherwise available to Manager, relating to the Facility which Tenant may need for the preparation of federal and state tax returns. Manager shall provide such information promptly upon request by Tenant and in a timely manner so that Tenant shall have sufficient time to prepare and file any necessary tax returns. Manager shall not be responsible for the preparation of any of Tenants tax returns.
(l) Reports: Manager shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Tenant the following financial statements and reports with respect to its operations at the Facility:

(ii) each of the monthly reports set forth on Schedule 2(l) attached hereto (collectively, the Monthly Reports).

5
Manager shall have no liability for errors in the financial statements prepared during the Term of this Agreement which arise from errors in starting accounting balances created from the financial statements of the prior operator of the Facility. Manager acknowledges that the financial reports and other information provided by Manager under this Agreement may be included in Tenant or its Affiliates public disclosure documentation in order for Tenant or its Affiliates to comply with any law applicable to a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and any REIT reporting and certification obligations.
(m) Budgets: The Annual Budget for calendar year 2012 shall be the budget attached hereto as Schedule 2(m) (the Initial Budget). Each of Tenant and Manager agrees and acknowledges that it has had a reasonable opportunity to review, and have approved, the Initial Budget. With respect to each subsequent calendar year during the Term, Manager shall prepare and shall submit to Tenant, for Tenants review and approval, an annual budget for the Facility setting forth the estimated receipts and expenditures (capital, operating and other) for the Facility on a monthly and an annual basis, which proposed annual budget (Proposed Annual Budget) shall be comparable in form to the Initial Budget. Annual Budget refers to the then operable annual budget, which is either agreed upon by the parties or determined in accordance with Section 2(m)(iv) and Section 2(m)(v) below, subject to the terms of this Agreement. Manager shall use good faith efforts to submit to Tenant for approval the Proposed Annual Budget for the succeeding calendar year by November 30 of each year. Once the Proposed Annual Budget has been submitted to Tenant the following provisions shall apply with respect to the review and approval thereof:
(i) | If Tenant disagrees with any portion of the Proposed Annual Budget, Tenant will notify Manager in writing of the same on or prior to the later of (x) thirty (30) days after delivery to Tenant of the Proposed Annual Budget and (y) December 31 of the year prior to the year covered by the Proposed Annual Budget (the Budget Response Deadline). If Tenant does not reject the Proposed Annual Budget for a given year on or prior to the Budget Response Deadline, then Tenant shall be deemed to have approved the entire Proposed Annual Budget. |
(ii) | If Tenant rejects in writing any Proposed Annual Budget for any calendar year on or prior to the Budget Response Deadline, Tenant and Manager shall use good faith efforts to resolve any disagreement with respect to the Proposed Annual Budget prior to the date that is the later of (x) ninety (90) days after the date of delivery to Tenant of the Proposed Annual Budget for such calendar year and (y) the March 31 immediately following delivery to Tenant of such Proposed Annual Budget (the Budget Finalization Period). |
(iii) | Manager shall implement the Annual Budget and shall use its reasonable efforts not to incur expenses with respect to the Facility for any year in excess of the amounts contemplated by the Annual Budget for such year without Tenants prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Manager shall not be deemed to be in default of its obligations under this Section 2(m) or this Agreement in the event: (x) Manager incurs any expenditure required to cause the Facility to continuously operate in accordance with Applicable Laws, (y) Manager incurs any expenditures, in the aggregate, on a quarterly basis with respect to any department (such departments as reflected in the Annual Budget attached hereto as Schedule 2(m)) that do not exceed the applicable budgetary limit allocated, in the aggregate, on a quarterly basis for such department by |
6
more than $10,000 and/or (z) Manager incurs any expenditures required to protect the Facility and/or the health and safety of the Facility occupants, provided Manager shall seek the prior approval of the Tenant therefore unless the same occurs on an emergency basis and providing prior notice thereof is not practicable (the foregoing, together with any other expenditures approved by Tenant and any expenditures contemplated by any Annual Budget, Permitted Expenditures). Any other expenditures, including capital expenditures for repairs, replacements or improvements, not contemplated by the Annual Budget and/or that exceed such budgetary limits shall be subject to the prior written approval of Tenant; provided, however, Tenant shall not be deemed to have unreasonably withheld its approval if (aa) Tenant lacks the financial resources to cover the cost of such expenditure or (bb) the cost of any expenditure will exceed $15,000 individually or in the aggregate with other unbudgeted expenditures in the same calendar year. |
(iv) | In the event an Annual Budget has not been agreed upon on or prior to the beginning of a given calendar year, the Annual Budget for the prior calendar year shall serve as the applicable operating budget until the earlier of (x) the date Tenant and Manager mutually agree upon the Annual Budget for such calendar year and (y) the expiration of the Budget Finalization Period; provided that (1) each line item in such operating budget shall be an amount equal to 103% of the corresponding line item amount reflected in the prior calendar years Annual Budget, (2) such operating budget shall be further increased to reflect (A) all revenue increases and variable cost increases resulting from any increase in the rate of occupancy at the Facility over the rate of occupancy contemplated in the prior years Annual Budget and (B) increased costs relating to utility expenses, fuel, general real estate taxes, insurance premiums and other items not within the control of the Manager and (3) any amounts included in the Annual Budget for the prior calendar year for specific capital improvements shall be disregarded only if such improvements have been completed and paid in full. |
(v) | To the extent that Manager and Tenant cannot resolve any disputed matters with respect to any Proposed Annual Budget on or prior to the expiration of the Budget Finalization Period, then Tenant shall make a final determination regarding such disputed matters and the Annual Budget for such calendar year shall reflect such final decisions. |
(n) Occupancy Agreements: (i) Manager shall, on behalf of and solely as agent for Tenant (and not in its own capacity), enter into agreements with the residents of the Facility (the Resident Agreements) and other agreements, if any, for the use or occupancy of space in the Facility (whether by residents, licensees, concessionaires, permissive use arrangement, subtenants, or otherwise) (such other agreements, together with the Resident Agreements, the Occupancy Agreements) and perform, as and when required thereunder, the duties and responsibilities imposed on Tenant under the terms thereof. Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all Occupancy Agreements entered into after the Effective Date, taken together in the aggregate, contain economic terms which are consistent with the then applicable Annual Budget as contemplated by Section 2(m). As of the Effective Date, Manager shall use the forms of Occupancy Agreement currently in use at the Facility. From time to time Manager may modify the forms of Occupancy Agreement provided such modification shall be in accordance with Applicable Law, subject to the prior written consent of Tenant.
7

3. Operating Responsibilities and Operating Account:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the funds available in the Operating Account are insufficient to pay payroll (to the extent Permitted Expenditures) or to pay amounts due under National Contracts when owed (to the extent Permitted Expenditures) or to pay expenditures required to cause compliance with Applicable Law or to pay expenditures required to protect the Facility and/or the health and safety of the Facility occupants, Manager shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay such expenses from its own funds and to seek reimbursement therefor from Tenant or from funds in the Operating Account. Facility Expenses shall also include a pro rata portion of any expenses incurred by Manager for the benefit of the Facility which also benefit one or more other facilities operated by Manager or an Affiliate of Manager, provided the methodology used to allocate expenses to the Facility is reasonable and provided to Tenant.

With respect to the Accounts, during the Term and subject to the Facility Loan Documents, Manager shall have sole control of the Accounts and shall be authorized to deposit funds, check balances, withdraw funds, execute checks, and make disbursements. Pursuant to written authorization which shall be given by Manager to the Bank, Tenant shall have the right to deposit funds and the right to view-only on-line access to account information (the parties agreeing that Tenant shall have no right to withdraw funds, execute checks and/or make or direct any other disbursements whatsoever from the Accounts or to close the Accounts). Such Accounts shall be established with a bank(s) designated by Tenant (the Bank) from time to time. All funds received from or in the operation of the Facility (other than security deposits, which shall be deposited in the Security Deposit Account) shall be deposited in the Operating Account and, subject to Tenant fulfilling its obligations hereunder with respect to funding any Cash Flow Shortfall (as defined below), Manager shall pay when due the payroll obligations for the Facility Employees, taxes and insurance premiums (except to the extent paid from an escrow account pursuant to the Facility Loan Documents), accounts payable incurred in the operation of the Facility, if direct payment by Manager is permitted by Facility Lender, debt service (and all fees, penalties and costs related thereto) and the amounts needed for Owner to fund reserves and/or escrows required by any Facility Loan Documents, as applicable, and all other Facility Expenses. In the event Manager fails to pay when due any amounts due in connection with operation of the Facility for which sufficient funds were available in the Operating Account, Manager shall be responsible for any fees or penalties resulting from such delinquent payment and shall indemnify Tenant with respect any Claims (as defined in Section 5) related thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that operating cash flows of the Facility are, at any time, insufficient to cause the Operating Account to have a balance at least equal to the greater of (x) the amount necessary to pay Facility Expenses from time to time or (y) the Minimum Balance (such amount required to be maintained, the Required Balance, and such insufficiency, a Cash Flow Shortfall), then Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a request of Manager (such period, the Funding Cure Period), deposit in the Operating Account funds sufficient to cover such Cash Flow Shortfall. Promptly following delivery by Manager to Tenant of the Monthly Reports for any month during the Term, Manager shall disburse to Tenant any surplus funds from the Operating Account (the parties agreeing that surplus funds is the amount, if any, of cash in the Operating Account as of the last day of the month for which the Monthly Reports were delivered minus the Required Balance.

(d) Collection of Accounts: Manager shall issue bills and collect accounts and monies owed for goods and services performed and furnished at the Facility during the Term, including, but not limited to, enforcing the rights of Tenant, Manager and/or the Facility as creditor under any contract or in connection with the rendering of any services; provided, however, regardless of any standard of performance set forth in this Agreement, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that there can be no assurances that Manager will be able to collect any or all of such accounts receivable.
11
4. Books and Records: Manager shall maintain records, books and accounts with respect to the management and operation of the Facility and shall retain those records during the Term and, to the extent a subsequent operator of the Facility elects not to take possession of the same upon termination of the Term, for a period of three (3) years thereafter. Upon the expiration of the Term or termination of this Agreement, Manager will provide all files, books, records and checks to Tenant in an electronic or other format reasonably requested by Tenant. Manager shall maintain all required records pertaining to the care of individual residents in accordance with Applicable Law, including maintaining the privacy of such records of care provided to the individual residents under the Privacy and Security rules in the Federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (collectively, the Patient Confidentiality Laws).

If an audit by Tenant discloses any sum due Tenant by Manager or any overpayment to Manager, Manager will promptly reimburse Tenant for any amounts due. If the audit discloses any sum due to Manager by Tenant, Tenant shall promptly reimburse Manager for any amounts due.

12
(c) As used in this Agreement, Claims means any claims, demands, causes of action, losses, damages, fines, penalties, liabilities, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees and court costs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the indemnified parties hereunder shall be entitled to collect any amounts pursuant to this Section 5 if such party has been fully compensated with proceeds made available from insurance carried or required to be carried pursuant to this Agreement, provided no party shall be required to seek reimbursement pursuant to any insurance policy prior to exercising its rights and remedies pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The terms of this Section 5 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

In the event Tenant sells, assigns, transfers or otherwise disposes of its interest in the Master Lease to an unaffiliated buyer or transferee (or there occurs a sale, transfer or other disposition, in one or more transactions, that results, directly or indirectly, in a change in control of Tenant), Manager may terminate this Agreement, effective the date of such transaction.
(viii) Default/Termination under Master Lease or Facility Loan Documents. Subject to the terms of any subordination and attornment agreement executed pursuant to the terms of Section 10 hereof, Manager may terminate this Agreement if Owner terminates the Master Lease, and this Agreement shall terminate if (a) Owner exercises its right to terminate this Agreement following a default under the Master Lease or (b) any Facility Lender exercises its right to terminate this Agreement following a default under the Facility Loan Documents; provided, however, that Tenant shall be obligated to pay the Termination Fee to Manager if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the terms of this subsection (viii) and such termination results from the fault of Tenant (as opposed to the result of a Manager default hereunder, a condition caused by Manager or some other reason not caused by Tenant).
(ix) Other Defaults. Manager may terminate this Agreement upon ten (10) days prior written notice, in the event any other management agreement between Tenant (or an Affiliate of Tenant) and Manager (or an Affiliate of Manager) is terminated by Manager (or its Affiliate).
(c) Effect of Termination: Termination of this Agreement, or expiration of the Term as contemplated by Section 8, shall terminate all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder, except for any provision of this Agreement which is expressly described as surviving any expiration or termination of this Agreement. Such termination or expiration, however, shall not terminate the rights and obligations of the parties (including any compensation due to Manager under this Agreement) which accrued prior to the effective date of termination or expiration nor shall it prejudice the rights of either party against the other for any breach or Default under this Agreement. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, Tenant, in its sole discretion, may select another entity to succeed Manager, subject to approval by any applicable regulatory authorities (if required).
(d) Final Accounting: Upon the expiration of the Term or any other termination of this Agreement as herein provided, Manager shall (i) deliver to Tenant a final accounting within forty-five (45) days of such expiration or termination; (ii) surrender and deliver to Tenant possession of the Facility; (iii) surrender and deliver possession and control of the Accounts, and all rents and income (including resident security deposits) of the Facility and other monies of Tenant on hand and in any bank account as soon as reasonably practicable (but not later than five (5) business days after the effective date of such termination or expiration); (iv) deliver to Tenant, as received, any monies due Tenant under this Agreement but received after such termination or expiration as soon as reasonably practicable (but not later than five (5) business days after receipt); (v) deliver to Tenant all materials and supplies, keys, contracts and documents, and such other accounting papers and records pertaining exclusively to the Facility as Tenant shall request as soon as reasonably practicable; (vi) subject to Section 2(f), assign contract rights with respect to the Facility to Tenant as soon as reasonably practicable (but no later than five (5) business days after such termination or expiration); (vii) deliver to Tenant, or Tenants duly appointed agent, all other books and records, contracts, leases, residents agreements, receipts for deposits and unpaid bills relating exclusively to the Facility as soon as reasonably practicable (but no later than five (5) business days after such termination or expiration) which shall include access to all data files (either through the cloud or Managers servers); and (viii) reasonably cooperate with Tenant in good faith (but at no cost to Manager) with respect to the transition. The terms of this subsection (d) shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
18
(e) Cooperation During Term: If at any time during the Term of this Agreement, Tenant (or Owner), in it sole discretion, elects by written notice to Manager to become the licensed operator and, if applicable, Medicaid certified provider of the Facility, Manager shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist Tenant (or Owner, as applicable) in its efforts to apply for and acquire health care licenses required under Applicable Laws for the operation of the Facility in the name of Tenant and shall keep Tenant (and Owner, as applicable) fully informed of all efforts and status of said applications. In such event, Tenant and Manager will also enter into such amendments to this Agreement as may be reasonably necessary to allow Tenant (or Owner, as applicable), rather than Manager, to be the licensed operator of the Facility.
(f) Cooperation After Term:
(i) In the event this Agreement is terminated or expires, Manager shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant to ensure that operational responsibility for the Facility is transferred to Tenant or such other entity as may be designated by Tenant as soon as practicable, but not sooner than such time as either Tenant or Tenants designee is duly licensed to operate the Facility. In the event that neither Tenant nor such designee is duly licensed by the date on which this Agreement terminates or expires, then, to the extent required and permitted by Applicable Law, Manager shall enter into an interim operating agreement in form reasonably acceptable to Manager and Tenant, pursuant to which either Tenant or such designee shall be permitted to operate the Facility under Managers license until such time as a new license is issued to Tenant or such designee; provided, however, such interim operating agreement shall, at a minimum, include an appropriate indemnity to Manager from a creditworthy entity from any liability Manager may incur as a result of the operation of the Facility under its license. Such interim operating agreement shall also provide, at Tenants request, that Manager enter into an agreement with Tenant that shall provide that Tenant shall lease the Facility Employees from Manager for up to sixty (60) days after such termination or expiration at cost.
(ii) Manager shall, for a period of thirty (30) days after expiration or termination of this Agreement, make itself reasonably available, at no cost to Tenant or Manager, to answer questions regarding the prior operation and maintenance of the Facility and the transfer of accounts and accounting systems. For a period of five (5) years following the expiration or termination of this Agreement, Manager (at Tenants sole cost and expense) shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant with respect to any third party claim arising out of events that occurred at the Facility during the Term.
(iii) As of the expiration or termination of this Agreement, Tenant or its designee may, with respect to each then current Facility Employee (whether directly employed by Manager or leased by Manager from an Affiliate), either (x) offer such employee employment with Tenant or such designee or (y) inform Manager that Tenant does not intend to offer employment to such employee, in which case, Manager (or Managers Affiliate, as applicable) may continue to employ such Facility Employee or terminate such Facility Employees employment. For those Facility Employees hired by Tenant or its designee upon termination of this Agreement, Tenant (or such designee) will credit such employees with all vacation, paid time off, or other leave benefits that such employees had earned and accrued but not yet used while employed by Manager (or its Affiliate) and Manager shall pay Tenant (or Tenants designee) a cash amount for such as of the date of expiration or termination of this Agreement.
19
(iv) Survival: The terms of this subsection (f) shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
10. Subordination of Management Agreement: Manager agrees to execute upon request in favor of Owner, and/or any Facility Lender, (i) a subordination and attornment agreement in favor of Owner with customary provisions and in a form reasonably acceptable to Tenant and Manager; and (ii) a consent to collateral assignment of management agreement and other customary agreements required by Tenant, Owner or such Facility Lender in connection with the Master Lease and/or the Facility Loan Documents, in each case in form reasonably acceptable to Manager and the applicable counterparty, which agreement shall include, without limitation, customary subordination provisions, representations and covenants by Manager.
11. Proprietary Materials: Those separate forms and operating procedures developed and employed by Manager in the performance of this Agreement are proprietary in nature and shall remain the property of Manager, provided that to the extent such forms are in use at the Facility as of termination or expiration of this Agreement, Manager hereby grants Tenant and its designee a license to continue to use and modify such forms exclusively in the operation of the Facility, provided any derivative works shall remain the property of Manager. The terms of this Section 11 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
12. Eligible Independent Contractor: Manager represents and warrants (i) that the management fee payable under this Agreement is an arms length management fee that provides adequate compensation for Managers services hereunder and (ii) that, as of the Effective Date, Manager is an Eligible Independent Contractor. Throughout the Term, (i) Manager shall maintain such Eligible Independent Contractor status, and (ii) Manager shall not cause the Facility to fail to qualify as qualified health care property as defined in Section 856(e)(6)(D)(i) for purposes of Section 856(d)(8)(B) and Section 856(d)(9) of the Code. Manager shall, from time to time, provide to Tenant information requested by Tenant (including a certificate, dated as of the date of this Agreement and executed by an officer of Managers direct or indirect parent entity, that Tenants direct or indirect parent entities may rely on in connection with opinions regarding whether such entities qualify as a REIT) to allow Tenant to confirm Managers status as an Eligible Independent Contractor and the Facilitys status as a qualified health care property. If Manager or any Affiliate of Manager becomes aware that Manager may no longer constitute an Eligible Independent Contractor or the Facility may no longer be a qualified health care property, then Manager shall promptly (but in any event within five (5) days) so notify Tenant. This Section 12 shall apply for so long as the Facility is owned by an entity, or through an ownership structure, that is subject to REIT tax requirements.
13. REIT Status: Manager acknowledges that: (i) Tenant (or Tenants direct or indirect owner) intends to qualify as a taxable REIT subsidiary under the Code, (ii) one or more of Tenants direct or indirect parent entities intend to qualify as REITs and (iii) Tenant and its direct or indirect owners therefore are subject to operating and other restrictions under the Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Tenant determines that this Agreement or Managers operation of the Facility under this Agreement could jeopardize Tenants (or Tenants owners) qualification as a taxable REIT subsidiary or the qualification of Tenants direct or indirect parent as a REIT, Manager shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant to revise this Agreement or restructure this arrangement so that Tenant is satisfied with such qualification; provided, that (a) any such actions shall be completed at no additional cost to Manager and (b) the economic terms of this Agreement shall not be materially modified or changed. If Tenant and Manager cannot take actions to the satisfaction of Tenant to protect such tax status, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days notice to Manager. This Section 13 shall apply for so long as the Facility is owned by an entity or through an ownership structure that is subject to REIT tax requirements.

Assignment: This Agreement may not be assigned or transferred by either of Manager or Tenant to any Person without the prior written consent of the other party hereto, except that (i) either party may assign or transfer this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder to an Affiliate of Fortress Investment Group LLC (Fortress) or any fund managed by Fortress (provided that the transferring party shall remain liable for all of its obligations hereunder; and, provided, further, that the transferee of Manager shall hold all licenses and certifications necessary for the lawful operation of the Facility, (ii) subject to the terms of Section 9(b)(vii), in connection with the sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of Tenants interest in the Master Lease, Tenant may assign this Agreement to any such transferee, and (iii) subject to the terms of Section 10 hereof, Tenant may, on notice to but without the need to secure the consent of Manager, assign this Agreement as collateral security for any debt secured by the Facility. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Manager shall not assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement if the assignee would not qualify as an Eligible Independent Contractor or such assignment would violate Section 13.
15. Attorneys Fees: In the event either party brings an action to enforce this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to receive costs and reasonable attorneys fees incurred by it in such amount as a court may deem reasonable, whether at trial or appellate court level. The terms of this Section 13 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
16. Confidentiality: All nonpublic information provided by one party to the other party (the Receiving Party) pursuant to or relating to this Agreement shall be kept confidential by the Receiving Party; provided, however, that the Receiving Party shall be permitted to disclose any such information to its Affiliates and its and their respective employees, officers, directors, managers, agents and advisors and shall be permitted to disclose any such information as required by Applicable Law or stock exchange rule or by mutual agreement of the parties hereto; in each instance such persons receiving any confidential information shall be subject to this confidentiality provision and shall be notified accordingly.
