liable for such fees and expenses for no more than one (1) such audit in any given calendar year in addition to any audits provided pursuant to the Affiliated Loan Agreement.
(e)    Wire Fees. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for its own account and not for the account of any other Lenders, on written demand, any and all reasonable fees, costs or expenses which Agent pays to a bank or other similar institution (including, without limitation, any fees paid by Agent to any other Lender) arising out of or in connection with (i) the forwarding to Borrowers or any other Person on behalf of Borrowers, by Agent, of proceeds of the Loan made by any Lender to Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) the depositing for collection, by Agent, of any check or item of payment received or delivered to Agent on account of Obligations.

Interest shall be payable on the funds reserved or escrowed pursuant to Sections 2.4(b), (c) and (d) at a rate or rate designated from time to time by Agent and which Agent, in good faith, determines to be comparable to the rates paid by commercial banks on commercial demand deposit accounts. All sums so reserved or escrowed shall be part of the Collateral and shall stand as additional security for all of the Obligations. If Agent at any time reasonably determines that the amount on deposit in any reserve or escrow pursuant to subsections (b) or (c) of this Section 2.4 is insufficient for its intended purposes, Borrowers shall, within ten (10) Business Days following notice from Agent, deposit

 
25
 
CHICAGO/#2502765.12



such additional sums as may be reasonably required by Agent. In the event of any Event of Default by Borrowers under the terms of this Agreement or any other Financing Document, Agent may, at its discretion, apply amounts on hand in the reserves or escrows to cure such Event of Default. Upon demand of Agent, Borrowers shall replenish the applicable reserve or escrow to restore any sums so applied by Agent. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and/or the maturity of any portion of the Obligations, the moneys then remaining on deposit with Agent shall, at Agent’s option, be applied against the Obligations in such order and manner as Agent may elect or as may otherwise be required under this Agreement; provided, however, that upon the satisfaction of all Credit Exposure, Agent shall promptly deliver all moneys then remaining on deposit with Agent to Borrower Representative.
(b)    Real Property Taxes. At the time of and in addition to the monthly installments of principal and/or interest due under the Notes, Borrowers shall pay to Agent a sum equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount reasonably estimated by Agent to be sufficient (when aggregated with an initial deposit to be designated by Agent and paid by Borrowers to Agent on the Closing Date or otherwise upon demand of Agent) to pay at least thirty (30) days before they become due and payable, all taxes, assessments and other similar charges levied against any portion of the Collateral constituting real property (collectively, the “Property Taxes”). In the event such real property or any portion thereof is part of a larger tract for purposes of taxation and assessments, Agent may require the Borrowers to have the real property taxed and assessed as a separate parcel or separate parcels, or, in the alternative, to make the deposits required under this section based upon the taxation and assessment of the larger tract. So long as no Event of Default exists hereunder, Agent shall apply the escrow sums to pay the Property Taxes. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, the obligation of Borrowers to pay the Property Taxes is not affected or modified by the provisions of this paragraph.
(c)    Insurance Premiums. At the time of and in addition to the monthly installments of principal and/or interest due under the Notes, Borrowers shall pay to Agent a sum equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount reasonably estimated by Agent to be sufficient (when aggregated with an initial deposit to be designated by Agent and paid by Borrower to Agent on the Closing Date) to be held by Agent in an insurance reserve (“Insurance Reserve”) to pay at least thirty (30) days before they become due and payable all insurance premiums and other similar charges in connection with the insurance required to be carried by Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement or the other Financing Documents (collectively, the “Insurance Premiums”). So long as no Event of Default exists hereunder, the funds contained in the Insurance Reserve shall be utilized to reimburse Borrowers solely for Insurance Premiums related to the Projects. Upon request by Borrower’s Representative, Agent shall provide Borrowers with the amounts deposited by Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.4(c) so that such amounts may be used (in addition to other funds provided by Parent or any other Person) to pay the amount of such insurance premiums payable by Parent prior to the due date therefor. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, Agent may apply the sums to pay the Insurance Premiums. The obligation of Borrowers to pay the Insurance Premiums is not affected or modified by the provisions of this section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the insurance premiums are paid via a premium financing arrangement to which Agent has given its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, then (i) the amount to be escrowed with Agent at any given time in respect of such Insurance Premiums shall be three months of payments under the premium finance arrangement, (ii) Borrowers shall tender to Agent each month (on such schedule as Agent shall reasonably request) evidence that Borrowers (or the owner of the policy if Borrowers share in a blanket policy) has paid the applicable premium finance amount due for the preceding month, and (iii) Agent shall have no obligation to remit such escrowed sums in payment of the premium finance amounts. Lenders and Agent acknowledge that the insurance required to be maintained by Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement and the other Financing Documents is maintained through corporate policies of Parent and such insurance insures Persons and property in addition to Borrowers and the Projects.

CHICAGO/#2502765.12



Accordingly, Insurance Premiums, as defined above, shall only be that portion of the applicable insurance premiums that are allocated to the Borrowers or to the Projects, in each case, by Parent or the applicable insurer, provided, however, that such insurance premiums shall be allocated on a consistent basis in accordance with commercially reasonable standards for business entities similarly situated in the industry.
(d)    Capital Replacement Reserve. At the time of and in addition to the monthly installments of principal and/or interest due under any of the Notes, Borrowers shall pay to Agent monthly deposits in the amount of $29.16 multiplied by the number of In Service Beds at each Project (provided that the aggregate number of all In Service Beds shall in no event be less than 1,210 as reduced to the reflect the number of beds located at a Project released pursuant to Section 2.11) to be held by Agent in a capital replacement reserve (“Capital Replacement Reserve”). So long as no Event of Default exists hereunder, the funds contained in the Capital Replacement Reserve shall be utilized to reimburse Borrowers solely for capital improvements approved in advance by Agent in writing, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Upon written request from Borrowers and satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 2.4(d), Agent shall disburse to Borrowers amounts from the Capital Replacement Reserve necessary to cover the actual approved costs of the applicable improvements. In the event that any Borrower has not previously paid such amounts to the applicable supplier, materialman, subcontractor or other party to whom payment is due, then Agent may elect to issue checks, payable to such supplier, materialman, subcontractor or other party to whom payment is due, or to such Borrower, to reimburse such Borrower for the actual cost of such improvement. Each request for disbursement from the Capital Replacement Reserve shall include (i) the specific improvements for which the disbursement is requested, (ii) the quantity and price of each item purchased, if the improvement includes the purchase or replacement of specific items, (iii) the price of all materials (grouped by type or category) used in any improvement other than the purchase or replacement of specific items, and (iv) the cost of all contracted labor or other services applicable to each improvement for which such request for disbursement is made. Each request for disbursement shall include (A) copies of invoices for all items or materials purchased and all contracted labor or services provided, (B) if requested by Agent, to the extent a lien could be filed with respect thereto, a lien waiver for such item or material purchased or contracted labor or services provided, as applicable, and (C) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Agent of payment of all such amounts unless Agent has elected to make such payment directly to the applicable supplier, materialman, subcontractor or other party to whom payment is due.
(e)    Principal Reserve. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent shall hold the Principal Prepayment and the Partial Release Payments received from Borrowers by Agent in a principal reserve (the “Principal Reserve”) and not apply such payments to the outstanding Obligations to the extent that the funds in the Principal Reserve do not exceed $10,000,000 at any time. If Borrowers irrevocably request in writing to Agent that all or any portion of the funds held by Agent in the Principal Reserve be applied to the outstanding Obligations, Agent shall promptly apply the requested amount from the Principal Reserve to pay the outstanding Obligations. In the event that amounts are applied from the Principal Reserve to pay the outstanding Obligations, Borrowers shall pay the pro rata portion of the Exit Fee due in respect of such payment pursuant to the Fee Letter.
Section 2.5    General Provisions Regarding Payment; Loan Account.
(a)    All payments to be made by each Borrower under any Financing Document, including payments of principal and interest made hereunder and pursuant to any other Financing Document, and all fees, expenses, indemnities and reimbursements, shall be made without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim, in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall

 
27
 
CHICAGO/#2502765.12



be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension (it being understood and agreed that, solely for purposes of calculating financial covenants and computations contained herein and determining compliance therewith, if payment is made, in full, on any such extended due date, such payment shall be deemed to have been paid on the original due date without giving effect to any extension thereto). Any payments received in the Payment Account before 2:00 PM (Eastern time) on any date shall be deemed received by Agent on such date, and any payments received in the Payment Account after 2:00 PM (Eastern time) on any date shall be deemed received by Agent on the next succeeding Business Day.
(b)    Agent shall maintain a loan account (the “Loan Account”) on its books to record Loan and other extensions of credit made by the Lenders hereunder or under any other Financing Document, and all payments thereon made by each Borrower. All entries in the Loan Account shall be made in accordance with Agent’s customary accounting practices as in effect from time to time. The balance in the Loan Account, as recorded in Agent’s books and records at any time shall be conclusive and binding evidence of the amounts due and owing to Agent by each Borrower absent manifest error; provided, however, that any failure to so record or any error in so recording shall not limit or otherwise affect any Borrower’s duty to pay all amounts owing hereunder or under any other Financing Document. Agent shall endeavor to provide Borrowers with a monthly statement regarding the Loan Account (but neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability if Agent shall fail to provide any such statement). Unless any Borrower notifies Agent of any objection to any such statement received by Borrowers (specifically describing the basis for such objection) within ninety (90) days after the date of receipt thereof, it shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive upon Borrowers in all respects as to all matters reflected therein.
Section 2.6    Maximum Interest. In no event shall the interest charged with respect to the Loan or any other Obligations of any Borrower under any Financing Document exceed the maximum amount permitted under the Laws of the State of Maryland or of any other applicable jurisdiction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or elsewhere, if at any time the rate of interest payable hereunder or under any Note or other Financing Document (the “Stated Rate”) would exceed the highest rate of interest permitted under any applicable Law to be charged (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”), then for so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate of interest payable shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the Stated Rate is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, each Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by Law, continue to pay interest at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received is equal to the total interest which would have been received had the Stated Rate been (but for the operation of this provision) the interest rate payable. Thereafter, the interest rate payable shall be the Stated Rate unless and until the Stated Rate again would exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate, in which event this provision shall again apply. In no event shall the total interest received by any Lender exceed the amount which it could lawfully have received had the interest been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate. If, notwithstanding the prior sentence, any Lender has received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, such excess amount shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Loan or to other amounts (other than interest) payable hereunder, and if no such principal or other amounts are then outstanding, such excess or part thereof remaining shall be paid to Borrowers. In computing interest payable with reference to the Maximum Lawful Rate applicable to any Lender, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made.
Section 2.7    Appointment of Borrower Representative. Each Borrower hereby designates Borrower Representative as its representative and agent on its behalf for the purposes of giving instructions with respect to the disbursement of the proceeds of the Loan, giving and receiving all other notices and consents hereunder or under any of the other Financing Documents and taking all other actions (including

 
28
 
CHICAGO/#2502765.12



in respect of compliance with covenants) on behalf of any Borrower or Borrowers under the Financing Documents. Borrower Representative hereby accepts such appointment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Borrower other than Borrower Representative shall be entitled to take any of the foregoing actions. The proceeds of the Loan made hereunder shall be advanced to the Borrower Representative or to the Borrower or Borrowers identified by the Borrower Representative and shall be used by the applicable Borrower in its business (for the purposes provided in this Agreement). If the Borrower Representative has not identified a Borrower to whom such advance is to be made, it shall be deemed to be immediately advanced by Borrower Representative to the appropriate other Borrower hereunder as an intercompany loan (collectively, “Intercompany Loans”). Borrowers shall maintain accurate books and records with respect to all Intercompany Loans and all repayments thereof. Agent and each Lender may regard any notice or other communication pursuant to any Financing Document from Borrower Representative as a notice or communication from all Borrowers, and may give any notice or communication required or permitted to be given to any Borrower or all Borrowers hereunder to Borrower Representative on behalf of such Borrower or all Borrowers. Each Borrower agrees that each notice, election, representation and warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on its behalf by Borrower Representative shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Borrower.
Section 2.8    Non-Excluded Taxes; Capital Adequacy.
(a)    All payments of principal and interest on the Loan and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any withholding or deduction of Taxes from any payment to be made by, or on behalf of any Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable Law, then Borrowers will: (i) timely pay directly to the relevant Governmental Authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted; (ii) as soon as practicable after such payment, forward to Agent an official receipt or other documentation reasonably satisfactory to Agent evidencing such payment to such Governmental Authority and (iii) with respect to any such Tax that is a Non-Excluded Tax, Borrowers shall pay to Agent for the account of the applicable Recipient such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by such Recipient will equal the full amount it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.
(b)    (1)    Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Financing Document shall deliver to Borrower Representative and Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower Representative or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower Representative or Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower Representative or Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrower Representative or Agent as will enable Borrower Representative or Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the two preceding sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than documentation set forth in clauses (b)(ii)(A), (b)(ii)(B) and (b)(ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

 
29
 
CHICAGO/#2502765.12



(i)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(A)    any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower Representative and Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower Representative or Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding;
(B)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower Representative and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower Representative or Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: (x) IRS Forms W-8ECI (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax because the income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business), W-8BEN (claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under an income tax treaty) and/or W-8IMY (including IRS Forms W-8BEN or W-8ECI with respect to each beneficial owner) or any successor forms, and (y) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, IRS Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the portfolio interest exemption) or any successor form and a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E that such Foreign Lender is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of any Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”).
(C)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower Representative and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower Representative or Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit Borrower Representative or Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D)    if a payment made to a Lender under any Financing Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower Representative and Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower Representative or Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower Representative or Agent as may be necessary for Borrowers and Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

 
30
 
CHICAGO/#2502765.12



Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower Representative and Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. For purposes of Sections 2.8(a) and (b), the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA.
(c)    Borrowers shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of any Other Taxes.
(d)    Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Non-Excluded Taxes (including Non-Excluded Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e)    If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it is entitled to a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.8 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.8), it shall pay to Borrowers an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Borrowers, upon the request of such Recipient, shall repay to such Recipient the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (e) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (e), in no event will a Recipient be required to pay any amount to any Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (e) the payment of which would place such Recipient in a less favorable net after-tax position than the Recipient would have been in if the Tax subject to the indemnification and giving rise to the refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrowers or any other Person.
(f)    If any Lender (with respect to that portion of the Loan held by such Lender) shall determine in its commercially reasonable judgment that the adoption or taking effect of, or any change in, any applicable Law regarding capital adequacy, in each instance, after the Closing Date, or any change after the Closing Date in the interpretation, administration or application thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation, administration or application thereof, or the compliance by any Lender or any Person controlling such Lender with any request, guideline or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of Law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency adopted or otherwise taking effect after the Closing Date, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such adoption, taking effect, change, interpretation, administration, application or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) then from time to time, within ten (10) Business Days following written demand by such Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth

 
31
 
CHICAGO/#2502765.12



the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which shall be furnished to Agent), Borrowers shall promptly pay to such Lender such additional amount as will compensate such Lender or such controlling Person for such reduction so long as such amounts have accrued on or after the day which is one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date on which such Lender first made demand therefor; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a “change in applicable Law”, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.
(g)    If any Lender requires compensation under Section 2.8(f), or requires any Borrower to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.8(a), then, upon the written request of Borrower Representative, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loan hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder (subject to the terms of this Agreement) to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or materially reduce amounts payable pursuant to any such subsection, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender (as determined in its reasonable discretion). Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
Section 2.9    Joint and Several Liability; Rights of Contribution; Subordination and Subrogation.
(a)    Borrowers are defined collectively to include all Persons named as one of the Borrowers herein; provided, however, that any references herein to “any Borrower”, “each Borrower” or similar references, shall be construed as a reference to each individual Person named as one of the Borrowers herein. Each Person so named shall be jointly and severally liable for all of the obligations of Borrowers under this Agreement. Each Borrower, individually, expressly understands, agrees and acknowledges, that the credit facilities would not be made available on the terms herein in the absence of the collective credit of all of the Persons named as the Borrowers herein, the joint and several liability of all such Persons, and the cross-collateralization of the collateral of all such Persons. Accordingly, each Borrower individually acknowledges that the benefit to each of the Persons named as one of the Borrowers as a whole constitutes reasonably equivalent value, regardless of the amount of the credit facilities actually borrowed by, advanced to, or the amount of collateral provided by, any individual Borrower. In addition, each entity named as one of the Borrowers herein hereby acknowledges and agrees that all of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, conditions, agreements and other terms contained in this Agreement shall be applicable to and shall be binding upon and measured and enforceable individually against each Person named as one of the Borrowers herein as well as all such Persons when taken together. By way of illustration, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the terms of Section 11.1 of this Agreement are to be applied to each individual Person named as one of the Borrowers herein (as well as to all such Persons taken as a whole), such that the occurrence of any of the events described in Section 11.1 of this Agreement as to any Person named as one of the Borrowers herein shall constitute an Event of Default even if such event has not occurred as to any other Persons named as the Borrowers or as to all such Persons taken as a whole.

CHICAGO/#2502765.12



(b)    Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, it is intended that the joint and several nature of the liability of each Borrower for the Obligations and the Liens granted by Borrowers to secure the Obligations, not constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance (as defined below). Consequently, Agent, Lenders and each Borrower agree that if the liability of a Borrower for the Obligations, or any Liens granted by such Borrower securing the Obligations would, but for the application of this sentence, constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, the liability of such Borrower and the Liens securing such liability shall be valid and enforceable only to the maximum extent that would not cause such liability or such Lien to constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, and the liability of such Borrower and this Agreement shall automatically be deemed to have been amended accordingly. For purposes hereof, the term “Fraudulent Conveyance” means a fraudulent conveyance under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under the applicable provisions of any fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer Law or similar Law of any state, nation or other governmental unit, as in effect from time to time.
(c)    Agent is hereby authorized, without notice or demand (except as otherwise specifically required under this Agreement) and without affecting the liability of any Borrower hereunder, at any time and from time to time, to (i) renew, extend or otherwise increase the time for payment of the Obligations; (ii) with the written agreement of any Borrower, change the terms relating to the Obligations or otherwise modify, amend or change the terms of any Note or other agreement, document or instrument now or hereafter executed by any Borrower and delivered to Agent for any Lender; (iii) accept partial payments of the Obligations; (iv) take and hold any Collateral for the payment of the Obligations (including, without limitation, for the payment of any guaranties of the Obligations) and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such Collateral; (v) apply any such Collateral and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Agent, in its sole discretion, may determine; and (vi) settle, release, compromise, collect or otherwise liquidate the Obligations and any Collateral therefor in any manner, all surety defenses being hereby waived by each Borrower. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents, Agent shall have the exclusive right to determine the time and manner of application of any payments or credits, whether received from any Borrower or any other source, and such determination shall be binding on all Borrowers. All such payments and credits may be applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to any of the Obligations that Agent shall determine, in its sole discretion, without affecting the validity or enforceability of the Obligations of the other Borrowers.
(d)    Each Borrower hereby agrees that, except as hereinafter provided, its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of (i) the absence of any attempt to collect the Obligations from any obligor or other action to enforce the same; (ii) the waiver or consent by Agent with respect to any provision of any instrument evidencing the Obligations, or any part thereof, or any other agreement heretofore, now or hereafter executed by a Borrower and delivered to Agent; (iii) failure by Agent to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or to preserve its rights to, any security or collateral for the Obligations; (iv) the institution of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar proceeding, by or against a Borrower or Agent’s election in any such proceeding of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; (v) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by a Borrower as debtor-in-possession, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code; (vi) the disallowance, under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, of all or any portion of Agent’s claim(s) for repayment of any of the Obligations; or (vii) any other circumstance other than payment in full of the Obligations which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or surety.
(e)    The Borrowers hereby agree, as between themselves, that to the extent that Agent, on behalf of Lenders, shall have received from any Borrower any Recovery Amount (as defined below), then the paying Borrower shall have a right of contribution against each other Borrower in an amount

 
33
 
CHICAGO/#2502765.12



equal to such other Borrower’s contributive share of such Recovery Amount; provided, however, that in the event any Borrower suffers a Deficiency Amount (as defined below), then the Borrower suffering the Deficiency Amount shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against the other Borrowers in an amount equal to the Deficiency Amount; and provided further, that in no event shall the aggregate amounts so reimbursed by reason of the contribution of any Borrower equal or exceed an amount that would, if paid, constitute or result in Fraudulent Conveyance. Until all Obligations have been paid and satisfied in full (other than Contingent Obligations hereunder to the extent that no such claims have been made as of the date thereof or the known existence of a claim reasonably likely to be asserted with respect thereto), no payment made by or for the account of a Borrower including, without limitation, (i) a payment made by such Borrower on behalf of the liabilities of any other Borrower, or (ii) a payment made by any other Guarantor under any Guarantee, shall entitle such Borrower, by subrogation or otherwise, to any payment from such other Borrower or from or out of such other Borrower’s property. The right of each Borrower to receive any contribution under this Section 2.9(e) or by subrogation or otherwise from any other Borrower shall be subordinate in right of payment to the Obligations and such Borrower shall not exercise any right or remedy against such other Borrower or any property of such other Borrower by reason of any performance of such Borrower of its joint and several obligations hereunder, until the Obligations have been paid and satisfied in full (other than Contingent Obligations hereunder to the extent that no such claims have been made as of the date thereof or the known existence of a claim reasonably likely to be asserted with respect thereto), and no Borrower shall exercise any right or remedy with respect to this Section 2.9(e) until the Obligations have been paid and satisfied in full (other than Contingent Obligations hereunder to the extent that no such claims have been made as of the date thereof or the known existence of a claim reasonably likely to be asserted with respect thereto). As used in this Section 2.9(e), the term “Recovery Amount” means the amount of proceeds received by or credited to Agent from the exercise of any remedy of the Lenders under this Agreement or the other Financing Documents, including, without limitation, the sale of any Collateral. As used in this Section 2.9(e), the term “Deficiency Amount” means any amount that is less than the entire amount a Borrower is entitled to receive by way of contribution or subrogation from, but that has not been paid by, the other Borrowers in respect of any Recovery Amount attributable to the Borrower entitled to contribution, until the Deficiency Amount has been reduced to zero through contributions and reimbursements made under the terms of this Section 2.9(e) or otherwise.
Section 2.10    Cash Management.
(a)    Borrowers shall cause all Operators to pay or direct all rents and other payments due under the Operating Leases that will be applied to make payments due hereunder directly to the Payment Account. Borrowers shall not accept from any Operator any cash payment of rent or other sums due under an Operating Lease, and any cash payments so received by Borrowers shall be deemed held in trust for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, shall be paid over to Agent immediately upon receipt and shall not be commingled with any other monies of Borrowers.
(b)    Borrowers acknowledge and agree that compliance with the terms of this Section 2.10 by Borrowers is essential, and that Lenders will suffer immediate and irreparable injury and have no adequate remedy at law, if Borrowers fail to comply with the terms of this Section 2.10. Accordingly, in addition to all other rights and remedies of Agent and Lenders hereunder, Agent shall have the right to seek specific performance of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Section, and any other equitable relief as Agent may deem necessary or appropriate, and Borrowers waive any requirement for the posting of a bond in connection with such equitable relief.
Section 2.11    Release of Liens as to Certain Projects. In the event a Project is the subject of a proposed Permitted Sale or Refinancing, Agent will cause the Liens of the Financing Documents to be

 
34
 
CHICAGO/#2502765.12



released as to such Project (“Release”); provided, however, that each of the following minimum conditions is satisfied:

Borrowers shall cause the Insurance Captive to conduct, at least annually, an actuarial review of the Insurance Captive that shall include, without limitation, a review of all professional and general liability claims and other claims covered by the Insurance Captive and shall cause the Insurance Captive to deliver to Agent, promptly upon receipt (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days after receipt by the Insurance Captive) such actuarial report and any and all other reports, opinions and studies performed by actuaries or insurance advisors related to the business of the Insurance Captive.

Each Borrower (a) will pay and discharge, at or prior to maturity, all of their respective obligations and liabilities, including tax liabilities, except for such obligations and/or liabilities (i) that may be the subject of a Permitted Contest, and (ii) the nonpayment or nondischarge of which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or result in a Lien against any Collateral, except for Permitted Liens, (b) will maintain, in accordance with GAAP, appropriate reserves for the accrual of all of their respective obligations and liabilities, (c) will not

breach, or permit to exist any default under, the terms of any lease, commitment, contract, instrument or obligation (other than Leases) to which it is a party, or by which its properties or assets are bound, except for such breaches or defaults which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (d) will not breach in any material respect or permit to exist any material default under the terms of any Operating Lease or other material Lease to which it is a party as a lessor.
Section 4.3    Maintenance of Existence; Single Purpose Entity Requirements. Each Borrower will preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect their respective existence and their respective material rights, privileges and franchises necessary or desirable in the normal conduct of business.

Each Borrower shall, as of the Closing Date and throughout the term of the Loan, include in their respective Organizational Documents each of the single purpose entity requirements set forth on Exhibit A.
Section 4.4    Maintenance of Property; Payment of Taxes; Insurance.
(a)    Each Borrower will keep, or cause to be kept, all property useful and necessary in its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.3, if all or any part of the Collateral useful or necessary in its business becomes damaged or destroyed, each Borrower will promptly and completely repair and/or restore the affected Collateral in a good and workmanlike manner. Borrowers will not, and will not permit any other Person to, commit or allow waste or permit any impairment or deterioration of the Collateral or abandon all or any part of the Collateral other than in the Ordinary Course of Business and for normal wear and tear. Each Borrower will (i) preserve its or their interest in and title to the Collateral and will forever warrant and defend the same to Agent and Lenders against any and all claims made by, through or under Borrowers except in respect of Permitted Liens, and (ii) except in respect of Permitted Liens, forever warrant and defend the validity and priority of the lien and security interest created in the Security Documents against the claims of all Persons whomsoever claiming by, through or under Borrowers. The foregoing warranty of title shall survive the foreclosure of the Security Documents and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Agent in the event Agent acquires title to any Collateral pursuant to any foreclosure.
(b)    To the extent not paid pursuant to Section 2.4(b), each Borrower will pay or cause to be paid all Taxes at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date upon which any fine, penalty, interest or cost for nonpayment is imposed, and furnish to Agent, upon request, receipted bills of the appropriate Governmental Authority or other documentation reasonably satisfactory to Agent evidencing the payment thereof, except for such Property Taxes that are the subject of a Permitted Contest. If any Borrower shall fail to pay any material Taxes (including any payroll Taxes) or other Taxes for which the failure to pay could result in a Lien on any Collateral in accordance with this Section and is not contesting or causing a contesting of such Taxes pursuant to a Permitted Contest, or if there are insufficient funds in the applicable reserves or escrows under Article 2 to pay any such Taxes, Agent shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to (for the account of all Lenders) pay such Taxes, and Borrowers shall repay to Agent, on written demand, any amount paid by Agent, with interest thereon from the date of the advance thereof to the date of repayment, at the rate applicable during periods of Default hereunder, and such amount shall constitute a portion of the Obligations. No Borrower shall pay any material Taxes (including any payroll Taxes) or other Taxes for which the failure to pay could result in a Lien on any Collateral or other obligations in installments unless permitted by applicable Laws, and shall, upon the request of Agent, deliver copies of all notices and bills relating to any such Taxes or other charge covered by this Section 4.4 to Agent.

CHICAGO/#2502765.12



(c)    Upon completion of any Permitted Contest, Borrowers shall promptly pay the amount due, if any, and deliver to Agent proof of the completion of any contest and payment of the amount due, if any.
(d)    Each Borrower will maintain (or cause Operator to maintain) (i) casualty insurance on all real and personal property on an all risks basis (including, to the extent carried by similarly situated businesses, the perils of flood, windstorm and quake), covering the repair and replacement cost of all such property and coverage for business interruption and rent loss and professional liability and public liability insurance (including products/completed operations liability coverage), and (ii) general and professional liability insurance, and (iii) such other insurance coverage in such amounts and with respect to such risks as are generally maintained by similarly situated business entities in the industry, provided, however, that, in no event, shall such insurance be in amounts or with coverage less than, or with carriers with qualifications inferior to, any of the insurance requirements attached hereto as Schedule 4.4 except as otherwise consented to by Agent in writing. All such insurance shall be provided by insurers having an A.M. Best policyholders rating reasonably acceptable to Agent. Borrowers will not bring or keep any article on the Projects, or cause or allow any condition to exist, if the presence of such article or the occurrence of such condition could reasonably cause the invalidation of any insurance required by this Section 4.4(d), or would otherwise be prohibited by the terms thereof.
(e)    On or prior to the Closing Date, and at all times thereafter, each Borrower will cause Agent to be named as an additional insured, assignee or lender loss payee (which shall include, as applicable, identification as mortgagee), as applicable, on each insurance policy required to be maintained pursuant to this Section 4.4 pursuant to endorsements in form and content acceptable to Agent in Agent’s good faith credit judgment. Borrowers will deliver to Agent and the Lenders (i) on the Closing Date, a certificate from Borrowers’ insurance broker dated such date showing the amount of coverage as of such date, and that such policies will include effective waivers (whether under the terms of any such policy or otherwise) by the insurer of all claims for insurance premiums against all loss payees and additional insureds and all rights of subrogation against all loss payees and additional insureds, and that if all or any part of such policy is canceled, terminated or expires, the insurer will forthwith give notice thereof to each additional insured, assignee and loss payee and that no cancellation, reduction in amount in coverage thereof shall be effective until at least thirty (30) days (ten (10) days if such cancellation is due to nonpayment) after receipt by each additional insured, assignee and loss payee of written notice thereof, (ii) upon the request of any Lender through Agent from time to time full information as to the insurance carried, (iii) within ten (10) days of receipt of notice from any insurer, a copy of any notice of cancellation, nonrenewal or material change in coverage from that existing on the date of this Agreement, (iv) forthwith, notice of any cancellation or nonrenewal of coverage by any Borrower, and (v) subject to Section 2.4(c) above, not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the expiration of any policies of insurance, furnish to Agent, evidence of premiums prepaid, additional and renewal insurance policies with companies, coverage and in amounts required hereunder. Each Borrower hereby waives any rights against Agent and Lenders for any property damages or claims to the extent the same is insured or required to be insured hereunder.
(f)    In the event any Borrower fails to provide Agent with evidence of the insurance coverage required by this Agreement, Agent may purchase insurance at Borrowers’ expense to protect Agent’s interests in the Collateral. This insurance may, but need not, protect any Borrower’s interests. The coverage purchased by Agent may not pay any claim made by any Borrower or any claim that is made against any Borrower in connection with the Collateral. The applicable Borrower may later cancel any insurance purchased by Agent, but only after providing Agent with evidence that such Borrower has obtained insurance as required by this Agreement. If Agent purchases insurance for the Collateral pursuant to this Section 4.4(f), to the fullest extent provided by Law Borrowers will be responsible for the costs of

 
46
 
CHICAGO/#2502765.12



that insurance, including interest and other charges imposed by Agent in connection with the placement of the insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the insurance. The costs of the insurance may be added to the Obligations. The costs of the insurance may be more than the cost of insurance each Borrower is able to obtain on its own.
(g)    If any insurance proceeds are paid by check, draft or other instrument payable to any Borrower and Agent jointly, such Borrower authorizes Agent to endorse such Borrower’s name thereon and do such other things as Agent may deem advisable to reduce the same to cash. Borrowers shall not carry separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained under this Section. Borrowers shall promptly notify Agent of any loss, damage, or destruction to any Collateral in excess of $500,000, whether or not covered by insurance. Agent is hereby authorized to collect all insurance proceeds in respect of Collateral directly and to apply the same to the Obligations whether or not then due and payable, in each case, subject to the provisions of the Financing Documents. Agent is authorized and empowered, and each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Agent as its (or their) attorney-in-fact (such appointment is coupled with an interest), at Agent’s option, to make or file proofs of loss or damage and to settle and adjust any claim under insurance policies which insure against such risks, or to direct Borrowers, in writing, to agree with the insurance carrier(s) on the amount to be paid in regard to such loss.
(h)    In the event that any Collateral under this Agreement is real property and is also Collateral under the terms of the Affiliated Financing Documents, this Agreement shall govern and control with respect to the disposition of insurance proceeds of such Collateral and shall override any inconsistent provision contained in the Affiliated Financing Documents.
(i)    Anything in this Section 4.4 to the contrary notwithstanding, Agent acknowledges and agrees that, solely with respect to the Captive Insureds, the commercial general liability and professional liability coverage required under Section 4.4(d) shall be provided by an Insurance Captive. The use of an Insurance Captive shall be permitted provided that:
(i)    the Insurance Captive shall, at all times, satisfy the definition of “Insurance Captive” set forth in Section 1.1;
(ii)    the Insurance Captive shall maintain, at all times, the prescribed capital and surplus (or margin of solvency) for an Insurance Required Class licensee, all of which shall be maintained in the form of cash, cash equivalents and other marketable securities and no portion of which shall be permitted to be maintained in the form of surplus notes or other evidence of deferred payment obligations;
(iii)    the Insurance Captive shall not have any creditors (other than ordinary course of business trade creditors and policy claims), there shall be no Liens on the assets of the Insurance Captive (other than (A) Liens of the type described in clause (c) of the definition of Permitted Liens and (B) cash deposits securing letters of credit obtained in the ordinary course of business), and the Insurance Captive shall have no Contingent Liabilities other than policy claims;
(iv)    the commercial general liability coverage limits shall be not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence, $1,000,000 in the aggregate per entity and $3,000,000 in the aggregate for the policy with not greater than $100,000 retention;

(v)    the professional liability coverage limits shall be not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence, $1,000,000 in the aggregate per entity and $3,000,000 in the aggregate per insured location for the policy with not greater than $100,000 retention;
(vi)    annual premiums shall be in an amount necessary to maintain the prescribed capital and surplus (or margin of solvency) for an Insurance Required Class B licensee;
(vii)    the deposit accounts of the Captive Insurance Company benefiting the Captive Insureds shall continue to be maintained solely for the benefit of such Captive Insureds; and
(viii)    Borrowers shall comply at all times with the requirements set forth in Section 4.1 relating to the delivery of financial reports and other items with respect to the Insurance Captive.
Section 4.5    Compliance with Laws and Material Contracts.

Section 4.6    Inspection of Property, Books and Records. Each Borrower will permit, at the sole cost of the applicable Borrower as provided in Section 2.2(d), representatives of Agent and of any Lender (but at such Lender’s expense unless such visit or inspection is made concurrently with Agent) to visit and inspect any of their respective properties, to monitor, examine or implement any health care quality assurance programs, to examine and make abstracts or copies from any of their respective books and records, to conduct a collateral audit and analysis of their respective operations and the Collateral to verify the amount and age of the Accounts, the identity and credit of the respective account debtors, to review the billing practices of Borrowers and Operators, and to discuss their respective affairs, finances and accounts with their respective officers, employees and independent public accountants as often as may reasonably be desired. In the absence of an Event of Default, Agent or any Lender exercising any rights pursuant to this Section 4.6 shall give the applicable Borrower commercially reasonable prior notice of such exercise. No notice shall be required during the existence and continuance of any Event of Default.
Section 4.7    Use of Proceeds. Borrowers shall use the proceeds of the Loan solely for payment of amounts due in respect of refinancing Debt on the Closing Date, establishing the reserves as set forth in this Agreement and related transaction fees and expenses. No portion of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for family, personal, agricultural or household use.
Section 4.8    Estoppel Certificates. No more than two (2) times in any calendar year, after written request by Agent, Borrowers, within fifteen (15) days and at their expense, will furnish Agent with a statement, duly acknowledged and certified, confirming (a) the amount of the original principal amount of the Notes, and the unpaid principal amount of the Notes, (b) the rate of interest of the Notes, (c) the date payments of interest and/or principal were last paid, (d) any offsets or defenses to the payment of the Obligations, and if any are alleged, the nature thereof, (e) that the Notes and this Agreement have not been modified or if modified, giving particulars of such modification, and (f) that there has occurred and is then continuing no Default or if such Default exists, the nature thereof, the period of time it has existed, and the action being taken to remedy such Default.

notice from Borrowers indicating an intent to proceed with such financing to MCF (the “Option Period”) to provide an offer setting forth the terms on which MCF (or a third party GSE or HUD-authorized underwriter/originator designated by MCF) is willing to provide such financing (the “Offer Notice”). If the Borrowers have not received an Offer Notice within the Option Period, the Borrowers shall be free to consummate such financing without MCF (the “Financing Transaction”); provided, however, that the foregoing, and MCF’s failure to respond to or issue an Offer Notice, shall not be construed as a waiver of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Financing Documents.

The right of first offer granted to MCF hereunder shall survive until the date on which there is no Credit Exposure. For purposes of this Section, “MCF” shall mean and include either of MCF or any other parent company, subsidiary or Affiliate of MCF.

Borrowers are required to take under this Agreement; (d) so long as Agent has provided not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to Borrower to perform the same and Borrower has failed to take such action, do such other and further acts and deeds in the name of Borrowers that Agent may deem necessary or desirable to enforce any Account or other Collateral or perfect Agent’s security interest or Lien in any Collateral; and (e) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, do such other and further acts and deeds in the name of Borrowers that Agent may deem necessary or desirable to enforce its rights with regard to any Account or other Collateral. This power of attorney shall be irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

Borrowers shall cooperate with Lenders and use Borrowers’ good faith efforts to facilitate the consummation of each Secondary Market Transaction including, without limitation, by: (i) amending or causing the amendment of any Financing Document, and executing such additional documents, instruments and agreements as may be reasonably required by Lenders in connection with the relevant Secondary Market Transaction, provided, however, that such proposed amendment(s) does not adversely affect the rights, duties or responsibilities of a Credit Party under this Agreement or any Financing Document in a material manner; (ii) promptly and reasonably providing such information (including, without limitation, financial information) as may be requested in connection with the preparation of a private placement memorandum, prospectus or a registration statement required to privately place or publicly distribute the securities in a manner which does not conflict with federal or state securities laws; (iii) providing in connection with each of (A) a preliminary and a final private placement memorandum or other offering documents or (B) a preliminary and final prospectus, as applicable (each, a “Disclosure Document”), a certificate certifying that Borrowers have carefully examined those sections of such Disclosure Documents, as applicable, pertaining to Borrowers, their Affiliates, the Loan, the ASP and the Projects and that such sections (and any other sections reasonably requested by a Lender) do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (iv) causing to be rendered such opinion letters reasonably requested by the Lender for the relevant Secondary Market Transaction; (v) making such representations, warranties and covenants, as may be reasonably requested by a Lender for the Secondary Market Transaction; and (vi) providing any other information and materials reasonably required in the Secondary Market Transaction.

Borrowers will deposit or cause to be deposited all resident deposits held by Borrowers, Operators or the ASP relating to the Projects, including, without limitation, resident deposits relating to patients or Resident Agreements that are in the form of cash at such commercial or savings bank or banks as may be reasonably satisfactory to Agent. If such resident deposits are in any other form, such resident deposits are to be maintained by Borrower, Operator or the ASP in the Ordinary Course of Business. Borrower shall, upon request, provide Agent with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Agent of Borrower’s, Operator’s or the applicable ASP’s compliance with the foregoing. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Borrower shall, or shall cause, upon Agent’s request, if permitted by any applicable Laws, turn over to Agent the resident deposits (and any interest theretofore earned thereon to the extent the same is to be paid to the resident or other party that provided such deposit) with respect to the Projects, to be held by Agent subject to the terms of their related agreements.

Borrowers shall, and shall cause each Operator to, cause the Projects at all times to be supported by the administrative services provider identified on Schedule 8.2 (collectively in the singular, the “ASP”) pursuant to an administrative services agreement in substantially the form in effect on the date hereof, or as otherwise approved by Agent in writing (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and that comply in all material respects with all applicable Healthcare Laws (the “Administrative Services Agreements”).

Agent to apply the Net Casualty Proceeds to the Obligations and after giving effect to such application no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) Borrower shall:
(i)    Proceed with diligence to make settlement with insurers or the appropriate governmental authorities and cause the Net Casualty Proceeds to be deposited with Agent;

Each Borrower hereby authorizes Agent to file without the signature of such Borrower one or more UCC financing statements relating to all or any part of the Collateral, which financing statements may list Agent as the “secured party” and such Borrower as the “debtor” and which describe and indicate the collateral covered thereby as all or any part of the Collateral under the Financing Documents (including an indication of the collateral covered by any such financing statement as “all assets” of such Borrower now owned or hereafter acquired), in such jurisdictions as Agent from time to time determines are appropriate, and to file without the signature of such Borrower any continuations of or amendments to any such financing statements, in any such case in order for Agent to perfect, preserve or protect the Liens, rights and remedies of Agent with respect to the Collateral.

(m)    (i) institution of any steps by any Person to terminate a Pension Plan if as a result of such termination any Credit Party is required to make a contribution to such Pension Plan, or could incur a liability or obligation to such Pension Plan, in excess of $1,500,000 in the aggregate with respect to Credit Parties other than Parent and $15,000,000 with respect to Parent, (ii) a contribution failure occurs with respect to any Pension Plan sufficient to give rise to a Lien under Section 303(k) of ERISA, or (iii) there shall occur any withdrawal or partial withdrawal from a Multiemployer Plan and the withdrawal liability (without unaccrued interest) to Multiemployer Plans as a result of such withdrawal (including any outstanding withdrawal liability that any Credit Party or any member of the Controlled Group have incurred on the date of such withdrawal) exceeds $1,500,000 in the aggregate with respect to Credit Parties other than Parent and $15,000,000 with respect to Parent;
(n)    one or more judgments or orders for the payment of money (not paid, fully covered by insurance maintained in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement and as to which the relevant insurance company has not denied coverage, or sufficiently reserved in good and available funds by or on behalf of the applicable Credit Party in a manner reasonably acceptable to Agent) aggregating in excess of $1,000,000 in the aggregate with respect to Credit Parties other than Parent and $15,000,000 with respect to Parent shall be rendered against any or all Credit Parties and either (i) enforcement proceedings shall have been commenced by any creditor upon any such judgments or orders, or (ii) there shall be any period of twenty (20) consecutive days during which a stay of enforcement of any such judgments or orders, by reason of a pending appeal, bond or otherwise, shall not be in effect;
(o)    any Lien created by any of the Security Documents shall at any time fail to constitute a valid and perfected Lien on all of the Collateral purported to be secured thereby, subject to no Liens except for Permitted Liens, for any reason other than the failure of Agent or any Lender to take any action within its reasonable control, or any Credit Party shall so assert;
(p)    the institution by any Governmental Authority of criminal proceedings against any Credit Party that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;
(q)    any Borrower makes any payment on account of any Debt that has been subordinated to any of the Obligations, other than payments specifically permitted by the terms of such subordination;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Credit Party fails to comply with any same provision of Section 11.1(a) of this Agreement two (2) times in any twelve (12) month period and Agent has given to Borrower Representative in connection with each such failure any notice to which Borrowers would be entitled under this Section before such failure could become an Event of Default, then all subsequent failures by a Credit Party to comply with such provision of Section 11.1(a) of this Agreement shall effect an immediate Event of Default (without the expiration of any applicable cure period) with respect to all subsequent failures by

 
76
 
CHICAGO/#2502765.12



a Credit Party to comply with such provision of this Agreement, and Agent thereupon may exercise any remedy set forth in this Article 11 without affording Borrowers any opportunity to cure such Event of Default.
All cure periods provided for in this Section 11.1 shall run concurrently with any cure period provided for in any applicable Financing Documents under which the default occurred.
Section 11.2    Acceleration and Suspension or Termination of Loan Commitment. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may, and shall if requested by Required Lenders, (a) by notice to Borrower Representative suspend or terminate the Loan Commitment and the obligations of Agent and the Lenders with respect thereto, in whole or in part (and, if in part, such reduction shall be pro rata among the Lenders having a Loan Commitment Percentage), and/or (b) by notice to Borrower Representative declare the Obligations to be, and the Obligations shall thereupon become, immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by each Borrower and Borrowers will pay the same; provided, however, that in the case of any of the Events of Default specified in Section 11.1(e) or 11.1(f) above, without any notice to any Borrower or any other act by Agent or the Lenders, the Loan Commitment and the obligations of Agent and the Lenders with respect thereto shall thereupon immediately and automatically terminate and all of the Obligations shall become immediately and automatically due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by each Borrower and Borrowers will pay the same.
Section 11.3    UCC Remedies. Upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default under this Agreement or the other Financing Documents, Agent, in addition to all other rights, options, and remedies granted to Agent under this Agreement or at Law or in equity, may exercise, either directly or through one or more assignees or designees, all rights and remedies granted to it under all Financing Documents and under the UCC in effect in the applicable jurisdiction(s) and under any other applicable Law. Without restricting the generality of the foregoing and for the purposes aforesaid, each Borrower hereby appoints and constitutes Agent its lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution in the Collateral to use unadvanced funds remaining under this Agreement or which may be reserved, escrowed or set aside for any purposes hereunder at any time, or to advance funds in excess of the face amount of the Notes, to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims, which may be Liens or security interests, or to avoid such bills and claims becoming Liens against the Collateral; to execute all applications and certificates in the name of such Borrower and to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Collateral; and to do any and every act which such Borrower might do in its own behalf; it being understood and agreed that this power of attorney shall be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked.
Section 11.4    Default Rate of Interest. At the election of Agent or Required Lenders, after the occurrence of an Event of Default and for so long as it continues, the Loan and other Obligations shall bear interest at rates that are four percent (4.0%) per annum in excess of the rates otherwise payable under this Agreement (“Default Interest Rate”).
Section 11.5    Setoff Rights. During the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized by each Borrower at any time or from time to time, with reasonably prompt subsequent notice to such Borrower (any prior or contemporaneous notice being hereby expressly waived) to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all (a) balances held by such Lender or any of such Lender’s Affiliates at any of its offices for the account of such Borrower (regardless of whether such balances are then due to such Borrower), and (b) other property at any time held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or for the account of such Borrower, against and on account of any of the Obligations; except that no Lender shall exercise any such right without the prior written consent of Agent. Any Lender exercising a right to set off shall purchase for cash (and the other Lenders shall sell) interests in each of such other Lender’s Pro Rata

 
77
 
CHICAGO/#2502765.12



Share of the Obligations as would be necessary to cause all Lenders to share the amount so set off with each other Lender in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share of the Obligations. Each Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, that any Lender and any of such Lender’s Affiliates may exercise its right to set off with respect to the Obligations as provided in this Section 11.5.
Section 11.6    Application of Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (a) each Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments at any time or times thereafter received by Agent from or on behalf of such Borrower or any Guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations, and, as between Borrowers on the one hand and Agent and Lenders on the other, Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and to reapply any and all payments received against the Obligations in such manner as Agent may deem advisable notwithstanding any previous application by Agent and (b) the proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied: first, to all fees, costs, indemnities, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred by or owing to Agent with respect to this Agreement, the other Financing Documents or the Collateral; second, to all fees, costs, indemnities, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred by or owing to any Lender with respect to this Agreement, the other Financing Documents or the Collateral; third, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations (including any interest which, but for the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such amounts); fourth, to the principal amount of the Obligations outstanding; fifth, to any other indebtedness or obligations of Borrowers owing to Agent or any Lender under the Financing Documents; and sixth, to any other indebtedness of obligations of owing under the Affiliated Financing Documents. Any balance remaining shall be delivered to Borrowers or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such balance (including any holder of the indebtedness evidenced by the Affiliated Financing Documents) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. In carrying out the foregoing, (y) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to the application to the next succeeding category, and (z) each of the Persons entitled to receive a payment in any particular category shall receive an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of amounts available to be applied pursuant thereto for such category.
Section 11.7    Waivers.
(a)    Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Borrower waives: (i) presentment, demand and protest, and notice of presentment, dishonor, intent to accelerate, acceleration, protest, default, nonpayment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any or all Financing Documents, the Notes or any other notes, commercial paper, accounts, contracts, documents, instruments, chattel paper and Guarantees at any time held by Lenders on which any Borrower may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Lenders may do in this regard; (ii) all rights to notice and a hearing prior to Agent’s or any Lender’s taking possession or control of, or to Agent’s or any Lender’s replevy, attachment or levy upon, any Collateral or any bond or security which might be required by any court prior to allowing Agent or any Lender to exercise any of its remedies; and (iii) the benefit of all valuation, appraisal and exemption Laws. Each Borrower acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel of its choices and decisions with respect to this Agreement, the other Financing Documents and the transactions evidenced hereby and thereby.
(b)    Each Borrower for itself and all its successors and assigns, (i) agrees that its liability shall not be in any manner affected by any indulgence, extension of time, renewal, waiver, or modification granted or consented to by Agent or any Lender; (ii) consents to any indulgences and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers, or modifications that may be granted by Agent or any Lender with respect to the payment or other provisions of the Financing Documents, and to any substitution, exchange

 
78
 
CHICAGO/#2502765.12



or release of the Collateral, or any part thereof, with or without substitution, and agrees to the addition or release of any Borrower, endorsers, guarantors, or sureties, or whether primarily or secondarily liable, without notice to any other Borrower and without affecting its liability hereunder; (iii) agrees that its liability shall be unconditional and without regard to the liability of any other Borrower, Agent or any Lender for any tax on the indebtedness; and (iv) to the fullest extent permitted by Law, expressly waives the benefit of any statute or rule of law or equity now provided, or which may hereafter be provided, which would produce a result contrary to or in conflict with the foregoing.
(c)    To the extent that Agent or any Lender may have acquiesced in any noncompliance with any requirements or conditions precedent to the closing of the Loan or to any subsequent disbursement of Loan proceeds, such acquiescence shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver by Agent or any Lender of such requirements with respect to any future disbursements of Loan proceeds and Agent may at any time after such acquiescence require Borrowers to comply with all such requirements. Any forbearance by Agent or Lender in exercising any right or remedy under any of the Financing Documents, or otherwise afforded by applicable Law, including any failure to accelerate the maturity date of the Loan, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of any right or remedy nor shall it serve as a novation of the Notes or as a reinstatement of the Loan or a waiver of such right of acceleration or the right to insist upon strict compliance of the terms of the Financing Documents. Agent’s or any Lender’s acceptance of payment of any sum secured by any of the Financing Documents after the due date of such payment shall not be a waiver of Agent’s and such Lender’s right to either require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured or to declare a default for failure to make prompt payment. The procurement of insurance or the payment of taxes or other Liens or charges by Agent as the result of an Event of Default shall not be a waiver of Agent’s right to accelerate the maturity of the Loan, nor shall Agent’s receipt of any condemnation awards, insurance proceeds, or damages under this Agreement operate to cure or waive any Credit Party’s default in payment of sums secured by any of the Financing Documents.
(d)    Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Agreement or the other Financing Documents, each Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Agent and Lenders shall not be subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” Law or rule, and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Agent or Lenders shall remain in full force and effect until Agent or Lenders have exhausted all remedies against the Collateral and any other properties owned by Borrowers and the Financing Documents and other security instruments or agreements securing the Loan have been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of Borrowers’ obligations under the Financing Documents.
(e)    Nothing contained herein or in any other Financing Document shall be construed as requiring Agent or any Lender to resort to any part of the Collateral for the satisfaction of any of Borrowers’ obligations under the Financing Documents in preference or priority to any other Collateral, and Agent may seek satisfaction out of all of the Collateral or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of Borrowers’ obligations under the Financing Documents. In addition, Agent shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose upon any Collateral in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Financing Documents then due and payable as determined by Agent in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event any Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and/or interest, Agent may foreclose upon all or any part of the Collateral to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Agent elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Agent may foreclose all or any part of the Collateral to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by one or more of the Financing Documents as Agent may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, any unforeclosed Collateral shall remain

 
79
 
CHICAGO/#2502765.12



subject to the Financing Documents to secure payment of sums secured by the Financing Documents and not previously recovered.
(f)    To the fullest extent permitted by Law, each Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of any or all of the Collateral any equitable right otherwise available to any Credit Party which would require the separate sale of any of the Collateral or require Agent or Lenders to exhaust their remedies against any part of the Collateral before proceeding against any other part of the Collateral; and further in the event of such foreclosure each Borrower does hereby expressly consent to and authorize, at the option of Agent, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of each part of the Collateral.
Section 11.8    Injunctive Relief. The parties acknowledge and agree that, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any Credit Party’s obligations under any Financing Documents, Agent and Lenders may have no adequate remedy in money damages and, accordingly, shall be entitled to an injunction (including, without limitation, a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, writ of attachment, or order compelling an audit) against such breach or threatened breach, including, without limitation, maintaining any cash management and collection procedure described herein. However, no specification in this Agreement of a specific legal or equitable remedy shall be construed as a waiver or prohibition against any other legal or equitable remedies in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Agreement. Each Credit Party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the requirement of the posting of any bond in connection with such injunctive relief. By joining in the Financing Documents as a Credit Party, each Credit Party specifically joins in this Section as if this Section were a part of each Financing Document executed by such Credit Party.
Section 11.9    Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that Borrower makes any payment or Agent enforces its Liens or Agent or any Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such enforcement or set-off is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, or required to be repaid by anyone, then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligations or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefore, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or set-off had not occurred.
ARTICLE 12    – [RESERVED]
ARTICLE 13    – AGENT
Section 13.1    Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Agent to enter into each of the Financing Documents to which it is a party (other than this Agreement) on its behalf and to take such actions as Agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Financing Documents as are delegated to Agent by the terms thereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Subject to the terms of Section 13.16 and to the terms of the other Financing Documents, Agent is authorized and empowered to amend, modify, or waive any provisions of this Agreement or the other Financing Documents on behalf of Lenders. Except for rights specifically provided to Borrowers, the provisions of Section 13.1 through Section 13.15 of this Article 13 are solely for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and neither any Borrower nor any other Credit Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, Agent shall act solely as agent of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Borrower or any other Credit Party.

Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder, or under the Financing Documents, by or through its agents or employees.
Section 13.2    Agent and Affiliates. Agent shall have the same rights and powers under the Financing Documents as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not Agent, and Agent and its Affiliates may lend money to, invest in and generally engage in any kind of business with each Credit Party or Affiliate of any Credit Party as if it were not Agent hereunder.
Section 13.3    Action by Agent. The duties of Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. Nothing in this Agreement or any of the Financing Documents is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any of the Financing Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein.
Section 13.4    Consultation with Experts. Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.
Section 13.5    Liability of Agent. Neither Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or not taken by it in connection with the Financing Documents, except that Agent shall be liable with respect to its specific duties set forth hereunder but only to the extent of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in the discharge thereof as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Neither Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Financing Document or any borrowing hereunder; (b) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements specified in any Financing Document; (c) the satisfaction of any condition specified in any Financing Document; (d) the validity, effectiveness, sufficiency or genuineness of any Financing Document, any Lien purported to be created or perfected thereby or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith; (e) the existence or non-existence of any Default or Event of Default; or (f) the financial condition of any Credit Party. Agent shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement, or other writing (which may be a bank wire, telex, facsimile or electronic transmission or similar writing) believed by it to be genuine or to be signed by the proper party or parties. Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made, shall be to recover from other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to be entitled (and such other Lenders hereby agree to return to such Lender any such erroneous payments received by them).
Section 13.6    Indemnification. Each Lender shall, in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, indemnify Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrowers) upon demand against any cost, expense (including counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) that Agent may suffer or incur in connection with the Financing Documents or any action taken or omitted by Agent hereunder or thereunder. If any indemnity furnished to Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against even if so directed by Required Lenders until such additional indemnity is furnished.

Agent may at any time request instructions from Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Financing Documents Agent is permitted or desires to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly requested, Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from any action or withholding any approval under any of the Financing Documents until it shall have received such instructions from Required Lenders or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders (or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement) and, notwithstanding the instructions of Required Lenders (or such other applicable portion of the Lenders), Agent shall have no obligation to take any action if it believes, in good faith, that such action would violate applicable Law or exposes Agent to any liability for which it has not received satisfactory indemnification in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6.
Section 13.8    Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under the Financing Documents.
Section 13.9    Collateral Matters. Lenders irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to (a) release any Lien granted to or held by Agent under any Security Document (i) upon termination of the Loan Commitment and payment in full of all Obligations (other than Contingent Obligations hereunder to the extent that no such claims have been made as of the date thereof or the known existence of a claim reasonably likely to be asserted with respect thereto), and, to the extent required by Agent in its sole discretion, the expiration, termination or cash collateralization (to the satisfaction of Agent) of all Swap Contracts secured, in whole or in part, by any Collateral; or (ii) constituting property sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted under any Financing Document (it being understood and agreed that Agent may conclusively rely without further inquiry on a certificate of a Responsible Officer as to the sale or other disposition of property being made in full compliance with the provisions of the Financing Documents); and (b) release or subordinate any Lien granted to or held by Agent under any Security Document constituting personal property described herein (it being understood and agreed that Agent may conclusively rely without further inquiry on a certificate of a Responsible Officer as to the identification of any personal property described herein). Upon request by Agent at any time, Lenders will confirm Agent’s authority to release and/or subordinate particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 13.9.
Section 13.10    Agency for Perfection. Agent and each Lender hereby appoint each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting Agent’s security interest in assets which, in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code in any applicable jurisdiction, can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Lender (other than Agent) obtain possession or control of any such assets, such Lender shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such assets to Agent or in accordance with Agent’s instructions or transfer control to Agent in accordance with Agent’s instructions. Each Lender agrees that it will not have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce any Security Document or to realize upon any Collateral for the Loan unless instructed to do so by Agent (or consented to by Agent, as provided in Section 11.5), it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised only by Agent.

Section 13.11    Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Agent for the account of Lenders, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. Agent will notify each Lender of its receipt of any such notice. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by Required Lenders (or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement) in accordance with the terms hereof. Unless and until Agent has received any such request, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interests of Lenders.
Section 13.12    Assignment by Agent; Resignation of Agent; Successor Agent.
(a)    Agent may at any time, without the consent of the Lenders or Borrowers, assign its rights, powers, privileges and duties hereunder to (i) another Lender, or (ii) any Person that, either by itself or together with one or more of its Affiliates or Approved Funds of itself or an Affiliate, holds or controls (or, as of the date of assignment of such agency rights, will hold or control) 50% or more of the interests in the Loan held by the assigning Agent in its capacity as a Lender; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 13.12(a) shall restrict subsequent assignments of interests as a Lender held by such Agent assignee.  Following any such assignment, Agent shall give notice to the Lenders and Borrowers.  An assignment by Agent pursuant to this subsection (a) shall not be deemed a resignation by Agent for purposes of subsection (b) below.
(b)    Without limiting the rights of Agent to designate an assignee pursuant to subsection (a) above, Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within ten (10) Business Days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent; provided, however, that if Agent shall notify Borrowers and the Lenders that no Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice from Agent that no Person has accepted such appointment and, from and following delivery of such notice, (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Financing Documents and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this paragraph.
(c)    Upon (i) an assignment permitted by subsection (a) above or (ii) the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent pursuant to subsection (b) above, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Financing Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Financing Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 13.12 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent and its sub-agents in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting or was continuing to act as Agent.

Section 13.13    Payment and Sharing of Payment.
(a)    Loan Payments. Payments of principal, interest and fees in respect of the Loan will be settled on the date of receipt if received by Agent on the last Business Day of a month or on the Business Day immediately following the date of receipt if received on any day other than the last Business Day of a month.
(b)    Return of Payments.
(i)    If Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by Agent from a Borrower and such related payment is not received by Agent, then Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender on demand without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, together with interest accruing on a daily basis at the Federal Funds Rate.
(ii)    If Agent determines at any time that any amount received by Agent under this Agreement must be returned to any Borrower or paid to any other Person pursuant to any insolvency Law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Financing Document, Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to Agent on demand any portion of such amount that Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as Agent is required to pay to any Borrower or such other Person, without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.
(c)    Defaulted Lenders. The failure of any Defaulted Lender to make any payment required by it hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make payment, but neither any other Lender nor Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Defaulted Lender to make any payment required hereunder. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Defaulted Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Financing Document or constitute a “Lender” (or be included in the calculation of “Required Lenders” hereunder) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Financing Document.
(d)    Sharing of Payments. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of setoff or otherwise) on account of any Loan (other than pursuant to the terms of Section 2.8(f)) in excess of its Pro Rata Share of payments entitled pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 13.13, such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participations in extensions of credit made by such other Lenders (without recourse, representation or warranty) as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and each Lender which has sold a participation to the purchasing Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the ratable extent of such recovery, without interest. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this clause (d) may, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including pursuant to Section 11.5) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrowers in the amount of such participation). If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar Law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this clause (d) applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this clause (d) to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

Section 13.14    Right to Perform, Preserve and Protect. If any Credit Party fails to perform any obligation hereunder or under any other Financing Document (after giving effect to any cure periods provided for in this Agreement or such other Financing Document), Agent itself may, but shall not be obligated to, cause such obligation to be performed at Borrowers’ expense. Agent is further authorized by Borrowers and the Lenders to make expenditures from time to time which Agent, in its reasonable business judgment, deems necessary or desirable to (a) preserve or protect the business conducted by Borrowers, the Collateral, or any portion thereof, and/or (b) enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loan and other Obligations. Each Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse Agent on demand for any and all costs, liabilities and obligations incurred by Agent pursuant to this Section 13.14. Each Lender hereby agrees to indemnify Agent upon demand for any and all costs, liabilities and obligations incurred by Agent pursuant to this Section 13.14, in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6.
Section 13.15    Additional Titled Agents. Except for rights and powers, if any, expressly reserved under this Agreement to any bookrunner, arranger or to any titled agent named on the cover page of this Agreement, other than Agent (collectively, the “Additional Titled Agents”), and except for obligations, liabilities, duties and responsibilities, if any, expressly assumed under this Agreement by any Additional Titled Agent, no Additional Titled Agent, in such capacity, has any rights, powers, liabilities, duties or responsibilities hereunder or under any of the other Financing Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, no Additional Titled Agent shall have nor be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. At any time that any Lender serving as an Additional Titled Agent shall have transferred to any other Person (other than any Affiliates) all of its interests in the Loan, such Lender shall be deemed to have concurrently resigned as such Additional Titled Agent.
Section 13.16    Amendments and Waivers.
(a)    No provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document may be amended, waived or otherwise modified unless such amendment, waiver or other modification is in writing and is signed or otherwise approved by Borrowers, the Required Lenders and any other Lender to the extent required under Section 13.16(b); provided, however, that (i) the Fee Letter may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto; (ii) Agent shall be entitled, in its sole and absolute discretion, to waive any financial covenant of any Borrower and to provide its written consent to a proposed Swap Contract without the consent of any other Lender; and (iii) any Financing Document may be amended or otherwise modified to correct any clear or manifest error or ambiguity with the written consent of Agent and Borrowers.
(b)    In addition to the required signatures under Section 13.16(a), no provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document may be amended, waived or otherwise modified unless such amendment, waiver or other modification is in writing and is signed or otherwise approved by the following Persons:
(i)    if any amendment, waiver or other modification would increase a Lender’s funding obligations in respect of any Loan, by such Lender; and/or
(ii)    if the rights or duties of Agent are affected thereby, by Agent;
provided, however, that, in each of (a) and (b) above, no such amendment, waiver or other modification shall, unless signed by all the Lenders directly affected thereby, (A) reduce the principal of, rate of interest on or any fees with respect to any Loan or forgive any principal, interest (other than default interest) or fees (other than late charges) with respect to any Loan; (B) postpone the date fixed for, or waive, any payment

 
85
 
CHICAGO/#2502765.12



(other than any mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(ii)) of principal of any Loan, or of interest on any Loan (other than default interest) or any fees provided for hereunder (other than late charges) or for any termination of any commitment; (C) change the definition of the term Required Lenders or the percentage of Lenders which shall be required for Lenders to take any action hereunder; (D) release all or substantially all of the Collateral, authorize any Borrower to sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Collateral or release all or substantially all the Guarantors of all or any portion of the Obligations or their Guarantee obligations with respect thereto, except, in each case with respect to this clause (D), as otherwise may be provided in this Agreement or the other Financing Documents (including in connection with any disposition permitted hereunder); (E) amend, waive or otherwise modify this Section 13.16(b) or the definitions of the terms used in this Section 13.16(b) insofar as the definitions affect the substance of this Section 13.16(b); or (F) consent to the assignment, delegation or other transfer by any Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under any Financing Document or release any Borrower of its payment obligations under any Financing Document, except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement. It is hereby understood and agreed that all Lenders shall be deemed directly affected by an amendment, waiver or other modification of the type described in the preceding clauses (C), (D), (E) and (F) of the preceding sentence.
(c)    Without limitation of the provisions of the preceding clause (a) and (b), no waiver, amendment or other modification to this Agreement shall, unless signed by each Eligible Swap Counterparty then in existence, modify the provisions of Section 11.6 in any manner adverse to the interests of each such Eligible Swap Counterparty.
Section 13.17    Assignments and Participations.
(a)    Assignments.
(iii)    Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or any portion of such Lender’s Loan together with all related obligations of such Lender hereunder. Except as Agent may otherwise agree (and, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and if such assignment is made to a Person other than an Affiliate of MCF, Borrowers otherwise agree), the amount of any such assignment (determined as of the date of the applicable Assignment Agreement or, if a “Trade Date” is specified in such Assignment Agreement, as of such Trade Date) shall be in a minimum aggregate amount equal to $1,000,000 or, if less, the assignor’s entire interests in the outstanding Loan; provided, however, that, in connection with simultaneous assignments to two or more related Approved Funds, such Approved Funds shall be treated as one assignee for purposes of determining compliance with the minimum assignment size referred to above. Borrowers and Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interests so assigned to an Eligible Assignee until Agent shall have received and accepted an effective Assignment Agreement executed, delivered and fully completed by the applicable parties thereto and a processing fee of $3,500 to be paid by the assigning Lender; provided, however, that only one processing fee shall be payable in connection with simultaneous assignments to two or more related Approved Funds.
(iv)    From and after the date on which the conditions described above have been met, (A) such Eligible Assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and, to the extent of the interests assigned to such Eligible Assignee pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder, and (B) the assigning Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall be released from its rights and obligations hereunder (other than those that survive termination pursuant to Section 14.1). Upon the request of the Eligible Assignee (and,

 
86
 
CHICAGO/#2502765.12



as applicable, the assigning Lender) pursuant to an effective Assignment Agreement, each Borrower shall execute and deliver to Agent for delivery to the Eligible Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) Notes in the aggregate principal amount of the Eligible Assignee’s Pro Rata Share of the Loan (and, as applicable, Notes in the principal amount of that portion of the principal amount of the Loan retained by the assigning Lender). Upon receipt by the assigning Lender of such Note, the assigning Lender shall return to Borrower Representative any prior Note held by it.
(v)    Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrowers, shall maintain at its offices located in Bethesda, Maryland a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender, and the commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loan owing to, such Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and Borrowers, Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded therein pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior notice to Agent.
(vi)    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.17(a) or any other provision of this Agreement, any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(vii)    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.17(a) or any other provision of this Agreement, Agent has the right, but not the obligation, to effectuate assignments of the Loan via an electronic settlement system acceptable to Agent as designated in writing from time to time to the Lenders by Agent (the “Settlement Service”). At any time when the Agent elects, in its sole discretion, to implement such Settlement Service, each such assignment shall be effected by the assigning Lender and proposed assignee pursuant to the procedures then in effect under the Settlement Service, which procedures shall be consistent with the other provisions of this Section 13.17(a). Each assigning Lender and proposed Eligible Assignee shall comply with the requirements of the Settlement Service in connection with effecting any assignment of the Loan pursuant to the Settlement Service. If so elected by Agent, Agent’s approval of such Eligible Assignee shall be deemed to have been automatically granted with respect to any transfer effected through the Settlement Service. Assignments and assumptions of the Loan shall be effected by the provisions otherwise set forth herein until Agent notifies Lenders of the Settlement Service as set forth herein.
(b)    Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrower Representative or Agent, sell to one or more Persons (other than a natural Person or any Borrower or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of a Borrower) participating interests in its Loan, commitments or other interests hereunder (any such Person, a “Participant”). In the event of a sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, (i) such Lender’s obligations hereunder shall remain unchanged for all purposes, (ii)  such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Borrowers and Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, and (iv) all amounts payable by each Borrower shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation and shall be paid directly to such Lender. Each Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and payable (as a result of acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-

 
87
 
CHICAGO/#2502765.12



off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement; provided, however, that such right of set-off shall be subject to the obligation of each Participant to share with Lenders, and Lenders agree to share with each Participant, as provided in Section 11.5. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loan or other obligations under the Financing Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Financing Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For avoidance of doubt, the Agent, in its capacity as such, shall have no responsibility or obligation for maintaining any Participant Register.
(c)    Replacement of Lenders. At any time after: (i) receipt by Agent of notice and demand from any Lender for payment of additional costs as provided in Section 2.8(f), which demand shall not have been revoked, (ii) any Borrower is required to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.8(a), (iii) any Lender is a Defaulted Lender, and the circumstances causing such status shall not have been cured or waived; or (iv) any failure by any Lender to consent to a requested amendment, waiver or modification to any Financing Document in which Required Lenders have already consented to such amendment, waiver or modification but the consent of such Lender is required with respect thereto (each relevant Lender in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) being an “Affected Lender”) each of Borrower Representative and Agent may, at its option, notify such Affected Lender and, in the case of Borrower Representative’s election, Agent, of such Person’s intention to obtain, at Borrowers’ expense, a replacement Lender (“Replacement Lender”) for such Lender, which Replacement Lender shall be an Eligible Assignee and, in the event the Replacement Lender is to replace an Affected Lender described in the preceding clause (iv), such Replacement Lender consents to the requested amendment, waiver or modification making the replaced Lender an Affected Lender. In the event Borrowers or Agent, as applicable, obtains a Replacement Lender within ninety (90) days following notice of its intention to do so, the Affected Lender shall sell, at par, and assign all of its Loan and funding commitments hereunder to such Replacement Lender in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 13.17(a); provided, however, that (i) Borrowers shall have reimbursed such Lender for its increased costs and additional payments for which it is entitled to reimbursement under Section 2.8(a) or Section 2.8(f), as applicable, of this Agreement through the date of such sale and assignment, and (ii) Borrowers shall pay to Agent the $3,500 processing fee in respect of such assignment. In the event that a replaced Lender does not execute an Assignment Agreement pursuant to Section 13.17(a) within five (5) Business Days after receipt by such replaced Lender of notice of replacement pursuant to this Section 13.17(c) and presentation to such replaced Lender of an Assignment Agreement evidencing an assignment pursuant to this Section 13.17(c), such replaced Lender shall be deemed to have consented to the terms of such Assignment Agreement, and any such Assignment Agreement executed by Agent, the Replacement Lender and, to the extent required pursuant to Section 13.17(a), Borrowers, shall be effective for purposes of this Section 13.17(c) and Section 13.17(a). Upon any such assignment and payment, such replaced Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof, other than with respect to such rights and obligations that survive termination as set forth in Section 14.1.

CHICAGO/#2502765.12



(d)    Credit Party Assignments. No Credit Party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or other obligations hereunder or under any other Financing Document without the prior written consent of Agent and each Lender.
Section 13.18    Intentionally Deleted.
Section 13.19    Lender’s Rights to Offset, Set-Off. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 11.5, each Lender hereby acknowledges that the exercise by any Lender of offset, set-off, banker's lien or similar rights against any deposit or other indebtedness of Borrowers whether or not located in any state with certain Laws restricting lenders from pursuing multiple collection methods could result under such Laws in significant impairment of the ability of all Lenders to recover further amounts in respect of the Loan.  THEREFORE, EACH LENDER AGREES THAT NO LENDER SHALL EXERCISE ANY SUCH RIGHT OF SET-OFF, BANKER'S LIEN, OR OTHERWISE, AGAINST ANY ASSETS OF ANY BORROWER (INCLUDING ALL GENERAL OR SPECIAL, TIME OR DEMAND, PROVISIONAL OR OTHER DEPOSITS AND OTHER INDEBTEDNESS OWING BY SUCH LENDER TO OR FOR THE CREDIT OR THE ACCOUNT OF ANY BORROWER) WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF AGENT AND THE REQUIRED LENDERS.

Section 14.1    Survival. All agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in every other Financing Document shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents and the other Operative Documents. The provisions of Sections 2.8 and 14.15 and Article 13 shall survive the payment of the Obligations (both with respect to any Lender and all Lenders collectively) and any termination of this Agreement, and any judgment with respect to any Obligations, including any final foreclosure judgment with respect to any Security Document, and no unpaid or unperformed, current or future, Obligations will merge into any such judgment.
Section 14.2    No Waivers. No failure or delay by Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege under any Financing Document shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein and therein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Law. Any reference in any Financing Document to the “continuing” nature of any Event of Default shall not be construed as establishing or otherwise indicating that any Borrower or any other Credit Party has the independent right to cure any such Event of Default, but is rather presented merely for convenience should such Event of Default be waived in accordance with the terms of the applicable Financing Documents.

(f)    Notices and other communications to the parties hereto may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including facsimile, e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved from time to time by Agent, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to notices sent directly to any Lender if such Lender has notified the Agent and Borrower Representative that it is incapable of receiving notices by electronic communication. The Agent or
