ITEM 1. | BUSINESS |
Our Company
Sentio Healthcare Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), was formed on October 16, 2006 under the General Corporation Law of Maryland for the purpose of engaging in the business of investing in and owning commercial real estate. As used in this report, the “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Sentio Healthcare Properties, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, except where context otherwise requires. We have qualified, and intend to continue to qualify, as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal tax purposes.
Since January 1, 2012, our business has been managed by Sentio Investments, LLC (the “Advisor”) pursuant to an advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”). The Advisor is responsible for managing our affairs on a day-to-day basis and for identifying and making acquisitions and investments on our behalf under the terms of the Advisory Agreement. Our Advisor has contractual and fiduciary responsibilities to us and our stockholders. Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, our Advisor will use commercially reasonable efforts to present to us investment opportunities and to provide a continuing and suitable investment program consistent with the investment policies and objectives adopted by our board of directors. Currently, we have no direct employees and all management and administrative personnel responsible for conducting our business are employed by our Advisor.
We are structured as an umbrella partnership REIT, referred to as an “UPREIT,” under which substantially all of our business is, and will be, conducted through a majority owned subsidiary, Sentio Healthcare Properties OP, L.P, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), formed on October 17, 2006. We are the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and have control over its affairs. The Operating Partnership owns, either directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, all of our assets. We conduct substantially all of our operations through the Operating Partnership. Our financial statements and the financial statements of the Operating Partnership are consolidated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
On February 10, 2013, we entered into a series of agreements, which have been amended at various points after February 10, 2013, with Sentinel RE Investment Holdings LP (the “Investor”), an affiliate of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (together with its affiliates, “KKR”) for the purpose of obtaining up to a $158.7 million of equity funding to be used to finance future investment opportunities (such investment and the related agreements, as amended, are referred to herein collectively as the “KKR Equity Commitment”). Pursuant to the KKR Equity Commitment, we may issue and sell to the Investor and its affiliates on a private placement basis from time to time over a period of up to three years, up to $158.7 million in aggregate issuance amount of preferred securities in the Company and the Operating Partnership.
As of December 31, 2014, we had issued and outstanding 11,472,765 shares of common stock, and 1,000 shares of 3% Senior Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series C (the “Series C Preferred Stock”). All 1,000 shares of the Series C Preferred Stock were issued to the Investor pursuant to the KKR Equity Commitment. In addition, as of December 31, 2014 the Operating Partnership had issued and outstanding 20,000 Common Units, 1,000 Series A Preferred Units (the “Series A Preferred Units”), and 946,560 Series B Convertible Preferred Units (the “Series B Preferred Units”). As of December 31, 2014, we held all of the issued and outstanding Common Units, and all of the issued and outstanding Series A Preferred Units. All of the issued and outstanding Series B Preferred Units were issued to the Investor in connection with the KKR Equity Commitment.
In connection with the KKR Equity Commitment, we entered into an agreement with our Advisor and the Investor (the “Transition Agreement”) that sets forth the terms for a transition to an internal management structure for the Company. The Transition Agreement, as amended, requires that, the existing external advisory structure will remain in place upon substantially the same terms as currently in effect through February 10, 2017, upon which time the advisory function will be internalized in accordance with procedures set forth in the Transition Agreement.
We commenced our initial public offering of our common stock on June 20, 2008. We stopped making offers under our initial public offering on February 3, 2011 after raising gross offering proceeds of $123.9 million from the sale of approximately 12.4 million shares, including shares sold under the distribution reinvestment plan. On February 4, 2011, we commenced a follow-on offering of our common stock. We suspended primary offering sales in our follow-on offering on April 29, 2011 and completed the final sale of shares under the distribution reinvestment plan on May 10, 2011. We raised gross offering proceeds under the follow-on offering of $8.4 million from the sale of approximately 800,000 shares, including shares sold under the distribution reinvestment plan.
2 |
On June 19, 2013, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 to register up to $99,000,000 of shares of common stock to be offered to our existing stockholders pursuant to an amended and restated distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRIP offering”). The DRIP offering shares were initially offered at a purchase price of $10.02, which was the current estimated per-share value of our common stock. Effective February 28, 2014, DRIP offering shares were offered at a purchase price of $11.63 per share, which is our most recent estimated per-share value.
Investment Objectives
Our investment objectives are to:
• | preserve stockholder capital by acquiring and operating real estate and real estate-related investments; |
• | realize growth in the value of your investment by: |
• | purchasing stabilized, income-producing properties with the potential for capital appreciation and |
• | profiting from the purchase, development or repositioning of other properties; |
• | provide stockholders with current income from the operations of the properties we acquire (including the income from properties we develop or reposition once they are stabilized) and from the interest income from loans we originate; and |
• | evaluate options to provide long-term liquidity to our stockholders within seven years of the termination of our primary public offering after accomplishing the above objectives by: |
• | liquidating our assets, |
• | listing our shares on a national securities exchange, |
• | another liquidity event such as a merger with another company, or |
• | expanding our stock repurchase program to redeem upon stockholder request up to 10% of our prior-year outstanding shares utilizing proceeds from the sale of our properties or other sources of funds irrespective of the amount of proceeds raised under our distribution reinvestment plan. |
We intend to invest primarily in existing leased properties as well as other properties where we believe there are opportunities to enhance cash flow and value. We may also originate development loans with unaffiliated third parties in which we have the potential to participate in the value creation or obtain an increasing interest in the property. We cannot assure you that we will attain these objectives or that our capital will not decrease. We may not change our investment policies or investment restrictions except upon approval of the independent directors committee. Decisions relating to the purchase or sale of properties or the origination of loans will be made by our Advisor, subject to approval by our board of directors.
We currently own nine properties through joint ventures and we may acquire additional properties through joint venture investments in the future. This is one of the ways we anticipate diversifying the portfolio of properties we own in terms of geographic region, property type and tenant industry group. Joint ventures will also allow us to acquire an interest in a property without requiring that we fund the entire purchase price. In determining whether to recommend a particular joint venture investment, our Advisor will evaluate the structure of the joint venture and the real property that the joint venture owns (or will acquire) using the same criteria for the selection of our other real estate investments.
Investment Strategy
Our independent directors committee will review our investment policies at least annually to determine whether these policies continue to be in the best interest of our stockholders, except as specifically provided otherwise under the terms of preferred stock that we issue, we may change our investment policies without stockholder approval. Our Advisor will recommend property acquisitions or loan originations to our investment committee, which will approve or reject proposed investments.
Our objective is to acquire a long-term stabilized portfolio of real estate properties that consists of at least 50% core properties. We may also acquire value-added and opportunistic properties and real estate related investments. We may acquire more value-added and opportunistic properties than core properties, with a view to achieving a more balanced portfolio of properties through a combination of development efforts, refinancings and subsequent acquisitions.
We intend for our investments in real estate assets to be concentrated in the healthcare sector. To date, our investments have been exclusively in the healthcare sector.
3 |
Healthcare real estate includes a variety of property types, including senior housing facilities, medical office buildings, hospital facilities, skilled nursing facilities, outpatient centers, and other healthcare related facilities. According to The National Coalition on Healthcare, by 2016 nearly $1 in every $5 in the U.S. will be spent on healthcare, and the aging US population is expected to continue to fuel the need for healthcare services. The over age 65 population of the United States is projected to grow 36% between 2010 and 2020, compared with 9% for the general population, according to the US Census Bureau. Presently, the healthcare real estate market is fragmented, with a local or regional focus, offering opportunities for consolidation and market dominance. We believe that a diversified portfolio of healthcare properties minimizes risks associated with third-party payors, such as Medicare and Medicaid, while also allowing us to capitalize on the favorable demographic trends described above.
Our Advisor believes that investment opportunities in healthcare properties are ordinarily not readily available to investors other than large institutional investors and experienced real estate operators with specialized knowledge, experience in specific geographic areas, industry expertise and established relationships with operators of these property types.
Although we intend to focus on acquiring and developing a portfolio of healthcare properties and real estate-related assets, we may also invest in other real estate types that we believe may assist us in meeting our investment objectives. Our charter limits our investments in unimproved real property or mortgage loans on unimproved real property to 10% of our total assets, but we are not otherwise restricted in the proportion of our portfolio that we must allocate to investment in any specific type of property. We do not expect to engage in the underwriting of securities of other issuers.
Acquisition Policies
Core Properties
We expect to invest in “core” institutional grade properties that are:
• | owned and operated with a low to moderate level of permanent mortgage financing; |
• | of a high-quality and currently producing income; |
• | leased to a diversified tenant base, though we are not restricted from investing in properties occupied by a single tenant if the property meets other key investment criteria or to a single tenant/operator for certain healthcare properties; |
• | leased on terms that generally allow for annual rental increases, and |
• | operated by companies that specialize in the specific healthcare service being delivered at a specific community, |
Value-Added Properties
We may acquire “value-added” properties, which include properties that are currently under construction and/or have existing building structures in need of redevelopment, re-leasing or repositioning. We may acquire properties with low occupancy rates or vacant properties when we believe our leasing or development efforts could add significant value. Our value-added properties will employ moderate to high levels of indebtedness, which will be determined on a property-by-property basis. Our long-term investment objective for investment in value-added properties is to develop and transform these properties into the same type of core property investments with lower levels of permanent mortgage indebtedness as described above.
Opportunistic Properties
We also may acquire opportunistic properties. We define “opportunistic” properties primarily as unimproved land that we will develop. We will construct or develop the property through the use of third-parties or through developers affiliated with our Advisor. We will invest in opportunistic properties with a view of developing a core property. Similar to our value-added properties, we expect to incur a moderate to high level of indebtedness when acquiring opportunistic properties, but with the long-term goal of developing the property into a core property with a lower level of permanent mortgage indebtedness. The development of properties is subject to risks relating to a builder’s ability to control construction costs or to build in conformity with plans, specifications and timetables. We may help ensure performance by the builders of properties that are under construction at the price contracted by obtaining either a performance bond or completion bond. As an alternative to a performance bond or completion bond, we may rely upon the substantial net worth of the contractor or developer or a personal guarantee provided by a high net worth affiliate of the person entering into the construction or development contract. Our opportunistic property acquisitions will generally be located in growth areas within our target markets.
Target Market Criteria
We intend to acquire healthcare properties located in markets with strong fundamentals and strong supply and demand dynamics primarily throughout the United States. Among the most important criteria we expect to use in evaluating the markets in which we purchase properties are:
• | historic and projected population growth; |
• | historically high levels of tenant demand for healthcare services and lower historic investment volatility for the type of property being acquired; |
4 |
• | markets with historic and growing numbers of qualified and affordable workforce; |
• | historic market liquidity for buying and selling of commercial real estate; |
• | stable household income and economic conditions; and |
• | sound real estate fundamentals, such as high occupancy rates and potential for increasing rental rates. |
Leases and Tenant Improvements
For our investments in multi-tenant medical office buildings we expect a portion of any tenant improvements to be funded by us from the cash on hand or through borrowings. Additionally, when a tenant or resident at one of our properties vacates its space, it is likely that we will be required to expend funds for tenant improvements and refurbishments to the vacated space in order to attract new tenants. If we do not have adequate cash on hand to fund tenant improvements and refurbishments, we may use debt financing in order to fulfill our obligations under lease agreements with new tenants.
Mortgages, Debt Securities and Other Real Estate-Related Investments
Although we expect that substantially all of our acquisitions will be of the types of properties described above, we may acquire or originate other investments, including mortgages and other illiquid real estate-related securities. To the extent that our Advisor determines that it is advantageous for us to originate or acquire mortgage loans or other real estate-related investments, we will seek to obtain fixed income through the receipt of payments from these investments. If we invest in mortgages and other real estate-related investments, we do not expect that we would invest more than 20% of our long-term stabilized asset portfolio in such investments.
Our charter does not limit the amount that we invest in mortgage loans or other real estate-related investments and from time to time, the percentage of our assets invested in these investments may exceed 20% of our total assets. While we have no intention of becoming a mortgage REIT, we may acquire or make the following:
• | first and second mortgages; |
• | convertible mortgages; |
• | construction loans on real estate; |
• | mortgage loan participation investments; |
• | common, preferred and convertible preferred equity securities issued by real estate companies; |
• | mezzanine and bridge loans; and |
• | other illiquid real estate-related securities. |
Joint Ventures and Other Arrangements
We currently own nine properties through joint ventures and we may acquire additional properties through joint venture investments in the future, including ventures with affiliates of our Advisor. Among other reasons, we have acquired properties through joint ventures in order to diversify our portfolio of properties in terms of geographic region, property type and tenant industry group. Joint ventures also allow us to acquire an interest in a property without requiring that we fund the entire purchase price. In addition, certain properties may be available to us only through joint ventures. In determining whether to recommend a particular joint venture, our Advisor will evaluate the structure of the joint venture and the real property that such joint venture owns, or is being formed to own, under the same criteria described elsewhere in this Form 10-K. These entities may employ debt financing consistent with our borrowing policies. See “Borrowing Policies” below. They may also include ventures with developers who contribute land, development services and expertise rather than equity. We have not established the specific terms we will require in the joint venture agreements we may enter. We will establish the terms with respect to any particular joint venture agreement on a case-by-case basis.
We may enter into joint ventures with affiliates of our Advisor for the acquisition of properties, but only if the independent directors committee (by majority vote) approves the transaction as being fair and reasonable to us and on substantially the same terms and conditions as those received by the affiliated equity joint venturers. If such a joint venture also involves a third party that negotiated the terms of its participation on an arms-length basis, then our investment must be either on terms and conditions no worse than those received by the affiliate or on terms and conditions no worse than those received by a third-party equity joint venturer that negotiated the terms of its participation on an arms-length basis.

Borrowing Policies
Debt Financing
When we refer to debt financing, we are referring to all types of debt financing at fixed or variable interest rates or some combination of both. For our stabilized core properties, our long-term goal will be to use low to moderate levels of debt financing with leverage ranging from 50% to 65% of the value of the asset. For the value-added and opportunistic properties, our goal will be to acquire and develop or redevelop these properties using moderate to high levels of debt financing with leverage ranging from 65% to 75% of the cost of the asset. We may exceed these debt levels on an individual property basis. Once these value-added and opportunistic properties are developed, redeveloped and stabilized with tenants, we plan to reduce the levels of debt to fall within target debt ranges appropriate for core properties. While we seek to fall within the outlined targets on a portfolio basis, for any specific property we may exceed these estimates. While we do not expect to utilize debt financing in excess of 300% of our net assets (equivalent to 75% of the cost of our tangible assets), upon the vote of a majority of our independent directors, we will be able to temporarily exceed this debt limitation. It is likely that our debt financing will be secured by the underlying property, but it will not necessarily be the case each time. We may enter into interest rate protection agreements to mitigate interest rate fluctuation exposure if we believe the benefit of such contracts outweigh the costs of purchasing these instruments.
Other Indebtedness
We may also incur indebtedness for working capital requirements, tenant improvements, capital improvements, leasing commissions and, if necessary, to make distributions, including those necessary to maintain our qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. We will endeavor to borrow such funds on an unsecured basis but we may secure indebtedness with properties if our independent directors committee determines that it is in our best interests.
Our Advisor may also create an affiliated entity that will purchase properties using debt financing and hold them for us pending our ability to acquire the properties at a low to moderate level of indebtedness. Any properties that we purchase from the affiliated acquisition holding company will meet our core investment criteria and be approved by our independent directors committee. Our purchase price for the property would reflect the costs associated with holding the property. In no event will we acquire the property at an amount in excess of its current appraised value as determined by an independent expert selected by our independent directors not otherwise interested in the transaction.
Competition
We compete with a considerable number of other real estate companies seeking to acquire, develop and reposition commercial real estate many of which may have greater marketing and financial resources than we do. Principal factors of competition in our business are the quality of properties (including the design and condition of improvements), leasing terms (including rent and other charges and allowances for tenant improvements), attractiveness and convenience of location, the quality and breadth of tenant services provided and reputation as an owner and operator of quality properties in the relevant sector and market. Our ability to compete also depends on, among other factors, trends in the national and local economies, financial condition and operating results of current and prospective tenants, availability and cost of capital, construction and renovation costs, taxes, governmental regulations, legislation and population trends.
We may hold interests in properties located in the same geographic locations as other entities managed by our Advisor or our Advisor’s affiliates. Our properties may face competition in these geographic regions from such other properties owned, operated or managed by other entities managed by our Advisor or our Advisor’s affiliates. Our Advisor or its affiliates may have interests that vary from those we may have in such geographic markets.
Government Regulation
We, the properties that we own, and the properties we expect to own are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection and human health and safety. Federal laws such as the National Environmental Policy Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, the Federal Clean Air Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act, the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act and the Hazard Communication Act govern such matters as wastewater discharges, air emissions, the operation and removal of underground and above-ground storage tanks, the use, storage, treatment, transportation and disposal of solid and hazardous materials and the remediation of contamination associated with disposals. Some of these laws and regulations impose joint and several liabilities on tenants, owners or operators for the costs to investigate or remediate contaminated properties, regardless of fault or whether the acts causing the contamination were legal. Compliance with these laws and any new or more stringent laws or regulations may require us to incur material expenditures. Future laws, ordinances or regulations may impose material environmental liability. In addition, there are various federal, state and local fire, health, life-safety and similar regulations with which we may be required to comply, and which may subject us to liability in the form of fines or damages for noncompliance.
Our properties may be affected by our tenants’ operations, the existing condition of land when we buy it, operations in the vicinity of our properties, such as the presence of underground storage tanks, or activities of unrelated third parties. The presence of hazardous substances, or the failure to properly remediate these substances, may make it difficult or impossible to sell or rent such property.
The healthcare industry is highly regulated by federal, state and local licensing requirements, facility inspections, reimbursement policies, regulations concerning capital and other expenditures, certification requirements and other laws, regulations and rules. In addition, regulators require compliance with a variety of safety, health, staffing and other requirements relating to the design and conditions of the licensed facility and quality of care provided. Additional laws and regulations may be enacted or adopted that could require changes in the design of properties and certain operations of our tenants and third-party operators. The failure of any tenant or operator to comply with such laws, requirements and regulations could affect a tenant’s or operator’s ability to operate the facilities that we own.
6 |
One of our properties is a skilled nursing facility where the property operator receives most of its revenues from Medicare and Medicaid, with the balance representing private pay, including private insurance. Consequently, changes in federal, state or local reimbursement policies may also adversely affect an operator’s ability to cover its expenses, including our rent or debt service. Skilled nursing facilities and hospitals are subject to periodic pre- and post-payment reviews and other audits by federal and state authorities. A review or audit of claims of a property operator could result in recoupments, denials or delays of payments in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on the operator’s ability to meet its obligations to us.
Acquisition Activity
At December 31, 2014, we owned or had joint venture interests in 30 properties. All of these properties are included in the properties summary as provided under “Item 2 Properties” referenced below.
We have acquired our properties to date with a combination of the proceeds from our public offering proceeds and from the sale of preferred securities in us and our Operating Partnership pursuant to the KKR Equity Commitment, and the proceeds of debt incurred upon the acquisition of such properties.
As of December 31, 2014, we operated in three reportable business segments: senior living operations, triple-net leased properties, and medical office building. Financial Information by segment is presented in Note 10 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Employees
We have no employees and our executive officers are employees of our Advisor. Substantially all of our work is performed by employees of our Advisor. We are dependent on our Advisor for certain services that are essential to us, including the identification, evaluation, negotiation, purchase and disposition of properties; the oversight and management of the daily operations of our real estate portfolio; and other general and administrative responsibilities. In the event that our Advisor was unable to provide these services, we will be required to obtain such services from other sources.

ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS |
The risks and uncertainties described below can adversely affect our business, operating results, prospects and financial condition. These risks and uncertainties could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward looking statement.
General
Because no public trading market for our shares currently exists and all repurchases under our stock repurchase program have been suspended since March 2014, it will be difficult for our stockholders to sell their shares and, if they are able to sell their shares, it will likely be at a substantial discount to the estimated value per share. As such, our stockholders should purchase shares in our distribution reinvestment plan only if they will not need to realize the cash value of their investment for an extended period.
Our charter does not require our directors to seek stockholder approval to liquidate our assets by a specified date, nor does our charter require our directors to list our shares for trading on a national securities exchange by a specified date. There is no public market for our shares and we currently have no plans to list our shares on a national securities exchange. Until our shares are listed, if ever, stockholders may not sell their shares unless the buyer meets the applicable suitability and minimum purchase standards. In addition, in March 2014, we suspended all repurchases under our stock repurchase program and do not anticipate resuming any repurchases under the program. Therefore, it will be difficult for our stockholders to sell their shares promptly or at all. If a stockholder is able to sell his or her shares, it would likely be at a substantial discount to our estimated value per share. It is also likely that our shares would not be accepted as the primary collateral for a loan. Because of the illiquid nature of our shares, our stockholders should purchase shares in our distribution reinvestment plan only as a long-term investment and be prepared to hold them for an indefinite period of time.
7 |
The estimated value per share of our common stock may not reflect the value that stockholders will receive for their investment.
On February 28, 2014, our board of directors approved an estimated value per share of our common stock of $11.63 based on the estimated value of our assets attributable to our common stock less the estimated value of our liabilities attributable to our common stock, divided by the number of shares of common stock outstanding, all as of December 31, 2013. We provided this estimated value per share to assist broker dealers that participated in our initial and follow-on public offerings in meeting their customer account statement reporting obligations under the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).
FINRA rules provide no guidance on the methodology an issuer must use to determine its estimated value per share. As with any valuation methodology, our Advisor’s methodology is based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that may not be accurate or complete. Different parties with different assumptions and estimates could derive a different estimated value per share, and these differences could be significant. The estimated value per share is not audited and does not represent the fair value of our assets or liabilities according to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Accordingly, with respect to the estimated value per share, we can give no assurance that:
· | a stockholder would be able to resell his or her shares at this estimated value; |
· | a stockholder would ultimately realize distributions per share equal to our estimated value per share upon liquidation of our assets and settlement of our liabilities or a sale of the company; |
· | our shares of common stock would trade at the estimated value per share on a national securities exchange; |
· | an independent third - party appraiser or other third - party valuation firm would agree with our estimated value per share; or |
· | the methodology used to estimate our value per share would or would not be acceptable to FINRA or for compliance with Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) reporting requirements. |
The value of our shares will fluctuate over time in response to developments related to individual assets in our portfolio and the management of those assets and in response to the real estate and finance markets. As such, the estimated value per share does not take into account developments in our portfolio since December 31, 2013. For a full description of the methodologies used to value our assets and liabilities in connection with the calculation of the estimated value per share, see Part II, Item 5, “Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities - Market Information.”
Disruptions in the financial markets and uncertain economic conditions could adversely affect our ability to secure debt financing on attractive terms and the values of the investments we make.
Despite improved access to capital for some companies, the capital and credit markets continue to experience volatility and disruption, and the health of the global capital markets remains a concern. The banking industry has been experiencing improved earnings, but the relatively low growth economic environment has caused the markets to question whether financial institutions are truly appropriately capitalized. The downgrade of the U.S. government debt has increased these concerns, especially for the larger, money center banks. Smaller financial institutions have continued to work with borrowers to amend and extend existing loans; however, as these loans reach maturity, there is the potential for future credit losses.
We intend to rely on debt financing to finance our properties. As a result of credit market factors, we may not be able to obtain debt financing at attractive terms. As such, we may be forced to use a greater proportion of equity to finance our acquisitions, reducing the number of acquisitions we would otherwise make. If the current debt market environment persists we may modify our investment strategy in order to optimize our portfolio performance. Our options would include limiting or eliminating the use of debt and focusing on those higher yielding investments that do not require the use of leverage to meet our portfolio goals.
Disruptions in the financial markets and uncertain economic conditions could adversely affect the values of our investments. Instability in the capital markets may constrain equity and debt capital available for investment in real estate, resulting in fewer buyers seeking to acquire properties and possible increases in capitalization rates and lower property values. Furthermore, declining economic conditions could negatively impact real estate fundamentals and result in lower occupancy, lower rental rates and declining values in real estate that we own or may acquire. These could have the following negative effects on us:
• | the values of our investments in properties could decrease below the amounts we paid for the investments; |
• | revenues from our properties could decrease due to lower occupancy rates, reduced rental rates and potential increases in uncollectible receivables; |
• | we may not be able to refinance our indebtedness or to obtain additional debt financing on attractive terms. |
These factors could impair our ability to make distributions to and decrease the value of our stockholders’ investment in us.
We have previously identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting in connection with the restatement of previously issued financial statements. Failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and effective disclosure controls and procedures could have a material adverse effect on our business.
8 |
As a public company, we are required to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Internal control over financial reporting is complex and may be revised over time to adapt to changes in our business, or changes in applicable accounting rules. Management has certified in this report that our internal controls over financial reporting and our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2014. In addition, management previously certified that our internal controls over financial reporting and our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2011. However, in connection the restatement of an error in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, our management subsequently determined that there was a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting with respect to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011. As a result of this determination, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting and our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2011. The specific material weakness was described in Part II—Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures” under “Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” in our 2012 Form 10-K.
We cannot assure you that our internal control over financial reporting will be effective in the future or that a material weakness will not be discovered with respect to a prior period for which we believe that internal controls were effective. Matters impacting our internal controls may cause us to be unable to report our financial information on a timely basis, or may cause us to restate previously issued financial information, and thereby subject us to adverse regulatory consequences, including sanctions or investigations by the SEC. There could also be a negative reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of investor confidence in us and the reliability of our financial statements. Confidence in the reliability of our financial statements is also likely to suffer if we report a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. This could materially adversely affect us by, for example, impairing our ability to raise capital or obtaining other financing.
We are dependent upon our Advisor, Sentio Investments, LLC, to conduct our operations. Any adverse changes in the financial health of our Advisor, or our relationship with our Advisor could hinder our operating performance and the return on your investment. Furthermore, if our Advisor became unable to continue in that role, we may have difficulty finding a qualified successor, and any successor advisor may not be as well suited to manage us and our portfolio.
We are dependent on our Advisor, Sentio Investments, LLC to manage our operations and our portfolio of real estate assets. Our Advisor has limited operating history and it will depend upon the fees and other compensation that it will receive from us in connection with the purchase, management and sale of our properties to conduct its operations. Any adverse changes in the financial condition of our Advisor or our relationship with our Advisor could hinder its ability to successfully manage our operations and our portfolio of investments. If our Advisor cannot meet its obligations as they arise, or if it is unable to provide adequate service to us as required under the terms of its agreement with us, we may have to find another Advisor. If we are required to find a new Advisor we may have difficulty doing so, and any successor advisor may not be as well suited to manage us and our portfolio. As we have no employees and are entirely dependent on our Advisor to manage our operations, these potential changes could result in a significant disruption of our business.
The inability of our Advisor to retain or obtain key personnel, property managers and leasing agents could delay or hinder implementation of our investment strategies, which could impair our ability to make distributions and could reduce the value of our stockholders’ investment.
Our success depends to a significant degree upon the contributions of John Mark Ramsey, the President and Chief Executive Officer of our Advisor. Neither we nor our Advisor have an employment agreement with Mr. Ramsey or with any of the other executive officers. If Mr. Ramsey were to cease his affiliation with our Advisor, our Advisor may be unable to find a suitable replacement, and our operating results could suffer. We believe that our future success depends, in large part, upon our Advisor’s and our facility operators’ ability to hire and retain highly skilled managerial, operational and marketing personnel. Competition for highly skilled personnel is intense, and our Advisor and any facility managers we retain may be unsuccessful in attracting and retaining such skilled personnel. If we lose or are unable to obtain the services of highly skilled personnel or facility managers, our ability to implement our investment strategies could be delayed or hindered, and the value of our stockholders’ investments may decline.
If we are unable to find or experience delays in finding suitable investments, we may experience a disruption of distributions and a lower rate of return to investors.
Our ability to achieve our investment objectives and to make distributions depends upon the performance of our Advisor in the acquisition and operation of our investments, and upon the performance of the facility managers in the management of our properties and the identification of prospective tenants. Additionally, disruptions and dislocations in the credit markets in recent years have materially impacted the cost and availability of debt to finance real estate acquisitions, which is a key component of our acquisition strategy. This lack of available debt could result in a further reduction of suitable investment opportunities and create a competitive advantage to other entities that have greater financial resources than we do. We may be delayed in making investments in properties due to delays in negotiating or obtaining the necessary purchase documentation for properties or delays in locating suitable investments or other factors. We cannot be sure that our Advisor will be successful in obtaining suitable investments on financially attractive terms or that our investment objectives will be achieved. We may also make other real estate investments, such as investments in public and private real estate companies which own real estate properties and make real estate investments. We will hold uninvested funds in an interest-bearing account or invest the proceeds in short-term, investment-grade securities. We expect the rates of return on these short-term investments to be substantially less than the returns we make on real estate investments. If we are unable to invest in properties or other real estate investments for an extended period of time, distributions to our stockholders may be delayed and may be lower and the value of our stockholders’ investment could be reduced.
9 |
If we are limited in the number and type of investments we may make, then the value of our stockholders’ investment in us will fluctuate with the performance of the specific properties we acquire.
If we are unable to secure new capital, we will be limited in the investments we may make resulting in less diversification in terms of the number of investments owned and the geographic regions in which our investments are located. In that case, the likelihood that any single property’s performance would materially reduce our overall profitability will increase. We are not limited in the number or size of our investments or the percentage of net proceeds we may dedicate to a single investment. In addition, any inability to secure new capital would increase our fixed operating expenses as a percentage of gross income, and our net income and the distributions we make to stockholders would be reduced.
We may be restricted in our ability to obtain additional capital from the KKR Equity Commitment.
As of March 15, 2015, the Investor owns 48.9% of the partnership interest of the Operating Partnership. In order to issue additional Series B Preferred Units to the Investor we need to obtain lender consents approving a “change-of-control” transaction. Although we are currently pursuing receipt of such lender consents, we cannot predict when, if ever, such consents will be received. If we are unable to obtain such lender consents, the Investor will have no obligation to purchase additional Series B Preferred Units under the KKR Equity Commitment and we will need to restructure the KKR Equity Commitment to retain access to the full amount of capital committed by the Investor. If we are unable to successfully restructure the KKR Equity Commitment we will not be able to fund future investments with capital from the KKR Equity Commitment.
The cash distributions our stockholders receive may be less frequent or lower in amount than expected.
We currently expect to make distributions to our stockholders quarterly. All expenses we incur in our operations are deducted from cash funds generated by operations prior to computing the amount of cash available to be paid as distributions to our stockholders. Our directors will determine the amount and timing of distributions. Our directors will consider all relevant factors, including the amount of cash available for distribution, capital expenditure and reserve requirements and general operational requirements. We cannot determine with certainty that sufficient cash will be available to make distributions to our stockholders. We may borrow funds, return capital or sell assets to make distributions. With limited prior operations, we cannot predict the amount of distributions our stockholders may receive. We may be unable to pay or maintain cash distributions or increase distributions over time, and we may need to cease distributions to stockholders.
A limit on the percentage of our securities a person may own may discourage a takeover or business combination, which could prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium price for their stock.
In order for us to qualify as a REIT, no more than 50% of our outstanding stock may be beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (including certain types of entities) at any time during the last half of each taxable year beginning after our first taxable year. To assure that we do not fail to qualify as a REIT under this test, our charter restricts direct or indirect ownership by one person or entity to no more than 9.8% in number of shares or value, whichever is more restrictive, of the outstanding shares of any class or series of our stock unless exempted by our board of directors. This restriction may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us, including an extraordinary transaction (such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all of our assets) that might provide a premium price to our stockholders.
Our charter permits our board of directors to issue stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into equity securities, with terms that may subordinate the rights of our common stockholders or discourage a third party from acquiring us in a manner that could result in a premium price to our stockholders.
Our board of directors may increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that we have authority to issue and classify or reclassify any unissued common stock or preferred stock and establish the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption of any such stock. Our board of directors could authorize the issuance of preferred stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into equity securities, with terms and conditions that could have priority as to distributions and amounts payable upon liquidation over the rights of the holders of our common stock. Such preferred stock and convertible or exchangeable securities could also have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us, including an extraordinary transaction (such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all of our assets) that might provide a premium price to holders of our common stock.
Our stockholders will have limited control over changes in our policies and operations, which increases the uncertainty and risks of an investment in us.
Our board of directors determines our major policies, including our policies regarding financing, growth, debt capitalization, REIT qualification and distributions. Our board of directors may amend or revise these and other policies without a vote of the common stockholders. Under Maryland General Corporation Law and our charter, our stockholders have a right to vote only on limited matters. Our board’s broad discretion in setting policies and our stockholders’ inability to exert control over those policies increases the uncertainty and risks of an investment on us.
10 |
We may change our targeted investments without stockholder consent.
We may make adjustments to our target portfolio based on real estate market conditions and investment opportunities, and we may change our targeted investments and investment guidelines at any time without the consent of our common stockholders, which could result in our making investments that are different from, and possibly riskier than, the investments described in our prospectus. A change in our targeted investments or investment guidelines may increase our exposure to interest rate risk, default risk and real estate market fluctuations, all of which could adversely affect the value of our common stock and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
A stockholder’s interest in us may be diluted if we issue additional stock.
Our common stockholders do not have preemptive rights to any stock we issue in the future. Therefore, in the event that we (1) sell stock in the future, including stock issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, (2) sell securities that are convertible into stock, (3) issue stock in a private offering, (4) issue stock upon the exercise of the options granted to our independent directors, employees of our Advisor or others, or (5) issue stock to sellers of properties acquired by us in connection with an exchange of limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership, holders of our common stock will experience dilution of their percentage ownership in us. Depending on the terms of such transactions, most notably the price per share, which may be less than the price paid per share in our public offerings, and the value of our properties, holders of our common stock might also experience a dilution in the book value per share of their stock.
A stockholder’s interest in us may be diluted if we issue additional units in our operating partnership.
Holders of common units of the Operating Partnership will receive distributions per unit in the same amount as the distributions we pay per share to our stockholders and will generally have the right to exchange their units of the Operating Partnership for shares of our common stock. In connection with the KKR Equity Commitment we have issued preferred units in the Operating Partnership with terms and conditions that have priority as to distributions and amounts payable upon liquidation over common units and we may issue additional preferred units in the future. The holders of such preferred units will be entitled to receive distributions in preference to our stockholders. In the event we issue additional units in the Operating Partnership, investors holding our common stock will experience potential dilution in their percentage ownership interest in us. Depending on the terms of such transactions, holders of our common stock might also experience a dilution in the book value per share of their stock.
Although we are not currently afforded the protection of the Maryland General Corporation Law relating to business combinations our board of directors could opt into these provisions of Maryland law in the future, which may discourage others from trying to acquire control of us and may prevent our stockholders from receiving a premium price for their stock in connection with a business combination.
Under Maryland law, “business combinations” between a Maryland corporation and certain interested stockholders or affiliates of interested stockholders are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. These business combinations include a merger, consolidation, share exchange, or, in circumstances specified in the statute, an asset transfer or issuance or reclassification of equity securities. Also under Maryland law, control shares of a Maryland corporation acquired in a control share acquisition have no voting rights except to the extent approved by a vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Shares owned by the acquirer, by officers or by directors who are employees of the corporation, are not entitled to vote on the matter. Should our board opt into these provisions of Maryland law, it may discourage others from trying to acquire control of us and increase the difficulty of consummating any offer. Similarly, provisions of Title 3, Subtitle 8 of the Maryland General Corporation Law could provide similar anti-takeover protection.
Our stockholder’s and our rights to recover claims against our independent directors are limited, which could reduce our stockholders’ and our recovery against our independent directors if they negligently cause us to incur losses.
Our charter provides that no independent director shall be liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages and that we will generally indemnify them for losses unless they are grossly negligent or engage in willful misconduct. As a result, our stockholders and we may have more limited rights against our independent directors than might otherwise exist under common law, which could reduce our stockholders’ and our recovery from these persons if they act in a negligent manner. In addition, we may be obligated to fund the defense costs incurred by our independent directors (as well as by our other directors, officers, employees and agents) in some cases, which would decrease the cash otherwise available for distributions to our stockholders.
If we are unable to obtain funding for future capital needs, cash distributions to our stockholders could be reduced and the value of our investments could decline.
If we need additional capital in the future to improve or maintain our properties or for any other reason, we will have to obtain financing from other sources, such as cash flow from operations, borrowings, property sales or future equity offerings. These sources of funding may not be available on attractive terms or at all. If we cannot procure additional funding for capital improvements, our investments may generate lower cash flows or decline in value, or both.
11 |
Our Advisor does not have as strong an economic incentive to avoid losses as do sponsors who have made significant equity investments in the companies they sponsor.
Our Advisor has not made an equity investment in us. Therefore, our Advisor has little exposure to losses in the value of our stock. Without this exposure, our investors may be at a greater risk of loss because our Advisor does not have as much to lose from a decrease in the value of our stock as do those sponsors who make more significant equity investments in the companies they sponsor.
If we do not successfully implement our long-term liquidity strategy, our stockholders may have to hold their investment for an indefinite period.
Although we presently intend to provide long-term liquidity to our stockholders within seven years of the termination of our primary public offering, our charter does not require our board of directors to pursue such a liquidity event. Our board of directors will review our long-term liquidity strategy annually and a majority of our independent directors may decide to amend or suspend the strategy if it is deemed to be in the best interest of our stockholders to do so. Market conditions and other factors could cause us to delay the commencement of a liquidity event beyond 2018. If our board of directors does elect to pursue a liquidity strategy, we would be under no obligation to conclude the process within a set time. The timing of a listing of our shares on a national securities exchange, the sale of assets or other liquidity event will depend on real estate and financial markets, economic conditions in the areas in which properties are located, and federal income tax effects on stockholders, that may prevail in the future. If our board of directors were to adopt a plan of liquidation, we cannot guarantee that we would be able to liquidate all assets. After adoption of a plan of liquidation, we would remain in existence until all properties and assets are liquidated. If we do not pursue a liquidity event, or delay such an event due to market conditions, our stockholders’ shares may continue to be illiquid and they may, for an indefinite period of time, be unable to convert their investment to cash easily and could suffer losses on their investment.
If we internalize our management functions, your interest in us could be diluted, and we could incur other significant costs associated with being self-managed.
In connection with the KKR Equity Commitment, we have entered into an agreement (the “Transition Agreement”) with our Advisor and the Investor that sets forth the terms for a transition to an internal management structure for the Company. The Transition Agreement, as amended, requires that the existing external advisory structure will remain in place upon substantially the same terms as currently in effect until February 10, 2017, upon which time the advisory function will be internalized in accordance with procedures set forth in the Transition Agreement. If we internalize in accordance with the terms of the Transition Agreement, we would no longer bear the costs of the various fees we expect to pay to our Advisor under the Advisory Agreement. However, our direct expenses would include general and administrative costs, including legal, accounting and other expenses related to corporate governance and SEC reporting and compliance. We would also incur the compensation and benefits costs of our officers and other employees and consultants that we now expect to be paid by our Advisor. In addition, we may issue equity awards to officers, employees and consultants, which awards would decrease net income and funds from operations and may dilute your investment. We cannot currently estimate the costs we would incur if we became self-managed. If the expenses we assume as a result of an internalization are higher than the expenses we avoid paying to our Advisor, our net income per share and funds from operations per share would be lower as a result of the internalization than it otherwise would have been, potentially decreasing the amount of funds available to distribute to our stockholders and the value of our shares.
As currently organized, we will not directly employ any employees. If we, in accordance with the Transition Agreement, internalize our operations, we would employ personnel and would be subject to potential liabilities commonly faced by employers, such as workers disability and compensation claims, potential labor disputes and other employee-related liabilities and grievances. Nothing in our charter prohibits us from entering into the transaction described above.
If we internalize our management functions, we could have difficulty integrating these functions as a stand-alone entity. We could fail to properly identify the appropriate mix of personnel and capital needs to operate as a stand-alone entity. An inability to manage an internalization transaction effectively could thus result in our incurring excess costs and/or suffering deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting. Such deficiencies could cause us to incur additional costs, and our management’s attention could be diverted from effectively managing our portfolio of investments.
Our equity commitment transaction with KKR dilutes the interests of our common shareholders and grants important rights to KKR.
On October 18, 2013, the first purchase of securities was completed by KKR pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of February 10, 2013, and amended at various times thereafter, between us, our Operating Partnership, and the Investor. Under the KKR Equity Commitment, we may issue and sell to the Investor and its affiliates from time to time over a period of up to three years, up to $158.7 million in aggregate issuance amount of preferred securities in the Company and the Operating Partnership.
In connection with the put exercises under the KKR Equity Commitment through December 31, 2014, the Investor has acquired 1,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and 946,560 Series B Preferred Units for an aggregate purchase price of $94.8 million. After giving effect to these transactions, on an as-converted basis, the Investor owns 45% of the partnership interest of the Operating Partnership.
The KKR Equity Commitment and the transactions contemplated thereby will likely result in a change of control of the Company. Based on the capitalization of the Company as of December 31, 2014 if the maximum amount of $158.7 million is drawn by us under the KKR Equity Commitment, then KKR would hold 57.9% of our voting capital stock as well as the same percentage of our as-converted common stock by virtue of their combined interests in the Series C Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Units.
12 |
Disclosure concerning the terms, rights and conditions of the Series C Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Units, the transfer and registration thereof and the other provisions of the KKR Equity Commitment are described in the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 12, 2013, December 30, 2014 and January 22, 2015. There can be no assurance that the interests of KKR are aligned with that of our other stockholders. Investor interests can differ from each other and from other corporate interests and it is possible that this significant stockholder with a stake in corporate management may have interests that differ from us and those of other stockholders.
Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest
Our Advisor and its affiliates, including our officers, one of whom is also a director, may face conflicts of interest caused by compensation arrangements with us and other sponsored programs, which could result in actions that are not in the long-term best interests of our stockholders.
Our Advisor will receive substantial fees from us that are partially tied to the performance of our stockholders’ investment. These fees could influence our Advisor’s advice to us, as well as the judgment of our officers, one of whom is also a director. Among other matters, the compensation arrangements could affect their judgment with respect to:
• | the continuation, renewal or enforcement of our Advisory Agreement with the Advisor; |
• | public offerings of equity by us, which would likely entitle the Advisor to increased acquisition and asset-management fees; |
• | sales of properties and other investments (including, subject to the approval of our conflicts committee, sales to affiliates), which may entitle the Advisor to disposition fees and reduce asset management fees; |
• | acquisitions of properties and other investments, which entitle the Advisor to acquisition and asset-management fees, and, in the case of acquisitions of investments from other Advisor-sponsored programs, might entitle the Advisor to disposition fees and possible subordinated incentive fees in connection with its services for the seller; |
• | borrowings to acquire properties and other investments, which borrowings will increase the acquisition and asset-management fees payable to the Advisor; |
• | whether and when we seek to list our common stock on a national securities exchange, which listing could entitle our Advisor to a success-based listing fee; and |
• | whether and when we seek to sell the company or its assets, which sale could entitle our Advisor to success-based fees. |
Our Advisor will face conflicts of interest relating to the purchase and leasing of properties, and such conflicts may not be resolved in our favor, which could limit our investment opportunities, impair our ability to make distributions and reduce the value of our stockholders’ investments in us.
We rely on our Advisor to identify suitable investment opportunities. Our agreement with our Advisor does not restrict our Advisor from sponsoring or providing advisory services to other programs. Therefore, we may be buying properties at the same time as other entities that are affiliated with or sponsored by our Advisor. Other programs sponsored by our Advisor or its affiliates may also rely on our Advisor for investment opportunities. Many investment opportunities would be suitable for us as well as other programs. Our Advisor could direct attractive investment opportunities or tenants to other entities. Such events could result in our investing in properties that provide less attractive returns, thus reducing the level of distributions which we may be able to pay to stockholders and the value of their investments in us.
We may purchase properties from persons with whom our Advisor or its affiliates have prior business relationships and our Advisor’s interest in preserving its relationship with these persons could result in us paying a higher price for the properties than we would otherwise pay.
We may have the opportunity to purchase properties from third parties, including affiliates of our directors who have prior business relationships with our Advisor or its affiliates. If we purchase properties from such third parties, our Advisor may experience a conflict between our interests and its interest in preserving any ongoing business relationship with these sellers.
Our Advisor will face conflicts of interest relating to joint ventures that we may form with affiliates of our Advisor, which conflicts could result in a disproportionate benefit to the other venture partners at our expense.
We may enter into joint venture agreements with third parties (including entities that are affiliated with our Advisor or our independent directors) for the acquisition or improvement of properties. Our Advisor may have conflicts of interest in determining which program should enter into any particular joint venture agreement. The co-venturer may have economic or business interests or goals that are or may become inconsistent with our business interests or goals. In addition, our Advisor may face a conflict in structuring the terms of the relationship between our interests and the interest of the affiliated co-venturer and in managing the joint venture. Since our Advisor and its affiliates will control both the affiliated co-venturer and, to a certain extent, us, agreements and transactions between the co-venturers with respect to any such joint venture will not have the benefit of arm’s-length negotiation of the type normally conducted between unrelated co-venturers. Co-venturers may thus benefit to our and our stockholders’ detriment.
13 |
Our Advisor and its affiliates receive fees and other compensation based upon our property acquisitions, the property we own and the sale of our properties and therefore our Advisor and its affiliates may make recommendations to us that we buy, hold or sell property in order to increase their compensation. Our Advisor will have considerable discretion with respect to the terms and timing of our acquisition, disposition and leasing transactions.
Our Advisor receives commissions, fees and other compensation based upon our investments. Therefore, our Advisor may recommend that we purchase properties that generate fees for our Advisor, but are not necessarily the most suitable investment for our portfolio. In some instances our Advisor may benefit by us retaining ownership of our assets, while our stockholders may be better served by sale or disposition. In other instances they may benefit by us selling the properties which may entitle our Advisor to disposition fees and possible success-based sales fees. In addition, our Advisor’s ability to receive asset management fees and reimbursements depends on our continued investment in properties and in other assets which generate fees to them. Therefore, the interest of our Advisor in receiving fees may conflict with our interests.
If the competing demands for the time of our Advisor and our officers result in them spending insufficient time on our business, we may miss investment opportunities or have less efficient operations, which could reduce our profitability and result in lower distributions to our stockholders.
We do not have any employees. We rely on the employees of our Advisor for the day-to-day operation of our business. The amount of time that our Advisor spends on our business will vary from time to time and is expected to be more while we are raising money and acquiring properties. Our Advisor, including our officers, may have interests in other programs and may engage in other business activities. As a result, they may face conflicts of interest in allocating their time between us and other programs and activities in which they are involved. During times of intense activity in other programs and ventures, they may devote less time and fewer resources to our business than are necessary or appropriate to manage our business. We expect that as our real estate activities expand, our Advisor will attempt to hire additional employees who would devote substantially all of their time to our business. There is no assurance that our Advisor will devote adequate time to our business. If our Advisor suffers or is distracted by adverse financial or operational problems in connection with its operations unrelated to us, it may allocate less time and resources to our operations. If any of these things occur, the returns on our investments, our ability to make distributions to stockholders and the value of their investments in us may suffer.
Our officers, one of whom is also a director, face conflicts of interest related to the positions they hold with our, which could hinder our ability to successfully implement our business strategy and to generate returns to our stockholders.
Our officers, one of whom is also a director, are also officers of our Advisor. As a result, they owe fiduciary duties to the entity’s members, which fiduciary duties may from time to time conflict with the fiduciary duties that they owe to us and our stockholders. Their loyalties to this other entity could result in actions or inactions that are detrimental to our business, which could harm the implementation of our business strategy and our investment, property management and leasing opportunities. If we do not successfully implement our business strategy, we may be unable to generate cash needed to make distributions our stockholders and to maintain or increase the value of our assets.
General Risks Related to Investments in Real Estate and Real-Estate Related Investments
Economic and regulatory changes that impact the real estate market may reduce our net income and the value of our properties.
By owning our stock, stockholders are subjected to the risks associated with owning real estate. The performance of an investment in us is subject to, among other things, risks related to the ownership and operation of real estate, including but not limited to:
• | worsening general or local economic conditions and financial markets could cause lower demand, tenant defaults, and reduced occupancy and rental rates, some or all of which would cause an overall decrease in revenue from rents; |
• | increases in competing properties in an area which could require increased concessions to tenants and reduced rental rates; |
• | increases in interest rates or unavailability of permanent mortgage funds which may render the sale of a property difficult or unattractive; and |
• | changes in laws and government regulations, including those governing real estate usage, zoning and taxes. |
Some or all of the foregoing factors may affect our properties, which would reduce our net income, and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
A concentration of our investments in the healthcare sector may leave our profitability vulnerable to a downturn or slowdown in the sector.
We expect to concentrate our investments in the healthcare sector. As a result, we will be subject to risks inherent in investments in a single type of property. If our investments are substantially in the healthcare sector, then the potential effects on our revenues, and as a result, on cash available for distribution to our stockholders, resulting from a downturn or slowdown in the healthcare sector could be more pronounced than if we had more fully diversified our investments.

Competition with third parties for properties and other investments may result in our paying higher prices for properties which could reduce our profitability and the return on investment.
We compete with many other entities engaged in real estate investment activities, including individuals, corporations, banks, insurance companies, other REITs, and real estate limited partnerships, many of which have greater resources than we do. Some of these investors may enjoy significant competitive advantages that result from, among other things, a lower cost of capital and enhanced operating efficiencies. In addition, the number of entities and the amount of funds competing for suitable investments may increase. Any such increase would result in increased demand for these assets and increased prices. If competitive pressures cause us to pay higher prices for properties, our ultimate profitability may be reduced and the value of our properties may not appreciate or may decrease significantly below the amount paid for such properties. At the time we elect to dispose of one or more of our properties, we will be in competition with sellers of similar properties to locate suitable purchasers, which may result in us receiving lower proceeds from the disposal or result in us not being able to dispose of the property due to the lack of an acceptable return. This may cause our stockholders to experience a lower return on their investments in us.
The healthcare properties we own may derive a substantial portion of their income from third-party payors.
Most of our healthcare facilities will be directly affected by risks associated with the healthcare industry. Some of our lessees will derive a substantial portion of their net operating revenues from third-party payors, including the Medicare and Medicaid programs. These programs are highly regulated by federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations and are subject to frequent and substantial change. There are no assurances that payments from governmental payors will remain at levels comparable to present levels or will, in the future, be sufficient to cover the costs allocable to patients eligible for reimbursement under these programs.
Failure to comply with government regulations could adversely affect our healthcare tenants and operators.
The healthcare industry is highly regulated by federal, state and local licensing requirements, facility inspections, reimbursement policies, regulations concerning capital and other expenditures, certification requirements and other laws, regulations and rules. In addition, regulators require compliance with a variety of safety, health, staffing and other requirements relating to the design and conditions of the licensed facility and quality of care provided. Additional laws and regulations may be enacted or adopted that could require changes in the design of properties and certain operations of our tenants and third-party operators. The failure of any tenant or operator to comply with such laws, requirements and regulations could affect a tenant’s or operator’s ability to operate the facilities that we own.
In some states, advocacy groups have been created to monitor the quality of care at health care facilities, and these groups have brought litigation against operators. Additionally, in some instances, private litigation by patients has succeeded in winning large demand awards for alleged abuses. The effect of this litigation and potential litigation has increased the costs of monitoring and reporting quality of care compliance incurred by our tenants. In addition, the cost of liability and medical malpractice insurance has increased and may continue to increase as long as the present litigation environment affecting the operations of health care facilities continues. Continued cost increases could cause our tenants to be unable to pay their lease payments, decreasing our cash flow available for distribution.
Our tenants may be affected by the financial deterioration, insolvency and/or bankruptcy of other significant operators in the healthcare industry.
Certain companies in the healthcare industry, including some key senior housing operators, none of which are currently our tenants, are experiencing considerable financial, legal and/or regulatory difficulties which have resulted or may result in financial deterioration and, in some cases, insolvency and/or bankruptcy. The adverse effects on these companies could have a significant impact on the industry as a whole, including but not limited to negative public perception by investors, lenders and consumers. As a result, our tenants could experience the damaging financial effects of a weakened industry driven by negative industry headlines, ultimately making them unable to meet their obligations to us, and our business could be adversely affected.
We may be unable to complete development and re-development projects on advantageous terms.
As part of our investment plan, we intend to develop new and re-develop existing properties. Such activities involve significant risks that could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to make distributions on our common stock, which include:
• | we may not be able to obtain, or may experience delays in obtaining, all necessary zoning, land-use, building, occupancy and other governmental permits and authorizations; |
• | we may not be able to obtain financing for development projects on favorable terms and complete construction on schedule or within budget, resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs and delays in leasing the properties and generating cash flow; and |
• | the properties may perform below anticipated levels, producing cash flow below budgeted amounts and limiting our ability to sell such properties to third parties or affiliates. |
15 |
Newly developed and acquired properties may not produce the cash flow that we expect, which could adversely affect our overall financial performance.
We intend to acquire and develop real estate properties. In deciding whether to acquire or develop a particular property, we make assumptions regarding the expected future performance of that property. If our estimated return on investment proves to be inaccurate, it may fail to perform as we expected. With certain properties we plan to acquire, our business plan contemplates repositioning or redeveloping that property with the goal of increasing its cash flow, value or both. Our estimate of the costs of repositioning or redeveloping an acquired property may prove to be inaccurate, which may result in our failure to meet our profitability goals. Additionally, we may acquire new properties not fully leased, and the cash flow from existing operations may be insufficient to pay the operating expenses and debt service associated with that property until the property is more fully leased. If one or more of these new properties do not perform as expected or we are unable to successfully integrate new properties into our existing operations, our financial performance and our ability to make distributions may be adversely affected.
Reduced occupancy levels could reduce our revenues from rents and our distributions to our stockholders and cause the value of our stockholders’ investment in us to decline.
The success of our investments depends upon the occupancy levels, rental income and operating expenses of our properties and our company. In the event of tenant default or bankruptcy, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as landlord and may incur costs in protecting our investment and re-leasing our property. In the event of tenant default or bankruptcy, or lease termination or expiration, we may be unable to re-lease the property for the rent previously received. We may be unable to sell a property with low occupancy without incurring a loss. These events and others could cause us to reduce the amount of distributions we make to stockholders and the value of our stockholders’ investment in us to decline.
Rising expenses at both the property and the company level could reduce our net income and our cash available for distribution to stockholders.
Our properties are subject to operating risks common to real estate in general, any or all of which may reduce our net income. If any property is not substantially occupied or if rents are being paid in an amount that is insufficient to cover operating expenses, we could be required to expend funds with respect to that property for operating expenses. The properties are subject to increases in tax rates, utility costs, operating expenses, insurance costs, repairs and maintenance and administrative expenses. If we are unable to lease properties on a basis requiring the tenants to pay such expenses, we would be required to pay some or all of those costs which would reduce our income and cash available for distribution to stockholders.
Costs incurred in complying with governmental laws and regulations may reduce our net income and the cash available for distributions.
Our company and the properties we own are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection and human health and safety. Federal laws such as the National Environmental Policy Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, the Federal Clean Air Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act, the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act and the Hazard Communication Act govern such matters as wastewater discharges, air emissions, the operation and removal of underground and above-ground storage tanks, the use, storage, treatment, transportation and disposal of solid and hazardous materials and the remediation of contamination associated with disposals. The properties we own and those we expect to acquire are subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 which generally requires that certain types of buildings and services be made accessible and available to people with disabilities. These laws may require us to make modifications to our properties. Some of these laws and regulations impose joint and several liability on tenants, owners or operators for the costs to investigate or remediate contaminated properties, regardless of fault or whether the acts causing the contamination were legal. Compliance with these laws and any new or more stringent laws or regulations may require us to incur material expenditures. Future laws, ordinances or regulations may impose material environmental liability. In addition, there are various federal, state and local fire, health, life-safety and similar regulations with which we may be required to comply, and which may subject us to liability in the form of fines or damages for noncompliance.
Our properties may be affected by our tenants’ operations, the existing condition of land when we buy it, operations in the vicinity of our properties, such as the presence of underground storage tanks, or activities of unrelated third parties. The presence of hazardous substances, or the failure to properly remediate these substances, may make it difficult or impossible to sell or rent such property. Any material expenditures, fines, or damages we must pay will reduce our ability to make distributions and may reduce the value of our stockholders’ investments in us.
Discovery of environmentally hazardous conditions may reduce our cash available for distribution to our stockholders.
Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous real property owner or operator may be liable for the cost to remove or remediate hazardous or toxic substances on, under or in such property. These costs could be substantial. Such laws often impose liability whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. Environmental laws also may impose restrictions on the manner in which property may be used or businesses may be operated, and these restrictions may require substantial expenditures or prevent us from entering into leases with prospective tenants that may be impacted by such laws. Environmental laws provide for sanctions for noncompliance and may be enforced by governmental agencies or, in certain circumstances, by private parties. Certain environmental laws and common law principles could be used to impose liability for release of and exposure to hazardous substances, including asbestos-containing materials into the air. Third parties may seek recovery from real property owners or operators for personal injury or property damage associated with exposure to released hazardous substances. The cost of defending against claims of liability, of complying with environmental regulatory requirements, of remediating any contaminated property, or of paying personal injury claims could be substantial and reduce our ability to make distributions and the value of our stockholders’ investments in us.

Any uninsured losses or high insurance premiums will reduce our net income and the amount of our cash distributions to stockholders.
Our Advisor will attempt to obtain adequate insurance to cover significant areas of risk to us as a company and to our properties. However, there are types of losses at the property level, generally catastrophic in nature, such as losses due to wars, acts of terrorism, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, pollution or environmental matters, which are uninsurable or not economically insurable, or may be insured subject to limitations, such as large deductibles or co-payments. We may not have adequate coverage for such losses. If any of our properties incurs a casualty loss that is not fully insured, the value of our assets will be reduced by any such uninsured loss. In addition, other than any working capital reserve or other reserves we may establish, we have no source of funding to repair or reconstruct any uninsured damaged property. Also, to the extent we must pay unexpectedly large amounts for insurance, we could suffer reduced earnings that would result in lower distributions to stockholders.
We may have difficulty selling real estate investments, and our ability to distribute all or a portion of the net proceeds from such sale to our stockholders may be limited.
Equity real estate investments are relatively illiquid. Therefore, we will have a limited ability to vary our portfolio in response to changes in economic or other conditions. In addition, the liquidity of real estate investments has been further reduced by the recent turmoil in the capital markets, which has constrained equity and debt capital available for investment in commercial real estate, resulting in fewer buyers seeking to acquire commercial properties and consequent reductions in property values. As a result of these factors we will also have a limited ability to sell assets in order to fund working capital and similar capital needs. When we sell any of our properties, we may not realize a gain on such sale. We may not elect to distribute any proceeds from the sale of properties to our stockholders; for example, we may use such proceeds to:
• | purchase additional properties; |
• | repay debt, if any; |
• | buy out interests of any co-venturers or other partners in any joint venture to which we are a party; |
• | create working capital reserves; or |
• | make repairs, maintenance, tenant improvements or other capital improvements or expenditures to our remaining properties. |
Our ability to sell our properties may also be limited by our need to avoid a 100% penalty tax that is imposed on gain recognized by a REIT from the sale of property characterized as dealer property. In order to ensure that we avoid such characterization, we may be required to hold our properties for a minimum period of time, generally two years, and comply with certain other requirements in the Internal Revenue Code.
Real estate market conditions at the time we decide to dispose of a property may be unfavorable which could reduce the price we receive for a property and lower the return on our stockholders’ investments in us.
We intend to hold the properties in which we invest until we determine that selling or otherwise disposing of properties would help us to achieve our investment objectives. General economic conditions, availability of financing, interest rates and other factors, including supply and demand, all of which are beyond our control, affect the real estate market. We may be unable to sell a property for the price, on the terms, or within the time frame we want. Accordingly, the gain or loss on our stockholders’ investments in us could be affected by fluctuating market conditions.
As part of otherwise attractive portfolios of properties, we may acquire some properties with existing lock-out provisions, which may inhibit us from selling a property, or may require us to maintain specified debt levels for a period of years on some properties.
Loan provisions could materially restrict us from selling or otherwise disposing of or refinancing properties. These provisions would affect our ability to turn our investments into cash and thus affect cash available for distributions to our stockholders. Loan provisions may prohibit us from reducing the outstanding indebtedness with respect to properties, refinancing such indebtedness on a non-recourse basis at maturity, or increasing the amount of indebtedness with respect to such properties.
Loan provisions could impair our ability to take actions that would otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders and, therefore, may have an adverse impact on the value of our stock, relative to the value that would result if the loan provisions did not exist. In particular, loan provisions could preclude us from participating in major transactions that could result in a disposition of our assets or a change in control even though that disposition or change in control might be in the best interests of our stockholders.
If we sell properties by providing financing to purchasers of our properties, distribution of net sales proceeds to our stockholders would be delayed and defaults by the purchasers could reduce our cash available for distribution to stockholders.
If we provide financing to purchasers, we will bear the risk that the purchaser may default. Purchaser defaults could reduce our cash distributions to our stockholders. Even in the absence of a purchaser default, the distribution of the proceeds of sales to our stockholders, or their reinvestment in other assets, will be delayed until the promissory notes or other property we may accept upon a sale are actually paid, sold, refinanced or otherwise disposed of or completion of foreclosure proceedings.

Actions of our joint venture partners could subject us to liabilities in excess of those contemplated or prevent us from taking actions which are in the best interests of our stockholders which could result in lower investment returns to our stockholders.
We have entered into joint ventures with other third parties to acquire or improve properties, and we may do so in the future. We may also purchase properties in partnerships, co-tenancies or other co-ownership arrangements. Such investments may involve risks not otherwise present when acquiring real estate directly, including, for example:
• | joint venturers may share certain approval rights over major decisions; |
• | a co-venturer, co-owner or partner may at any time have economic or business interests or goals which are or which become inconsistent with our business interests or goals, including inconsistent goals relating to the sale of properties held in the joint venture or the timing of termination or liquidation of the joint venture; |
• | the possibility that our co-venturer, co-owner or partner in an investment might become insolvent or bankrupt; |
• | the possibility that we may incur liabilities as a result of an action taken by our co-venturer, co-owner or partner; |
• | a co-venturer, co-owner or partner may be in a position to take action contrary to our instructions or requests or contrary to our policies or objectives, including our policy with respect to qualifying and maintaining our qualification as a REIT; |
• | disputes between us and our co-venturers may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase our expenses and prevent its officers and directors from focusing their time and effort on our business and result in subjecting the properties owned by the applicable joint venture to additional risk; or |
• | under certain joint venture arrangements, neither joint venture partner may have the power to control the venture, and an impasse could be reached which might have a negative influence on the joint venture. |
These events might subject us to liabilities in excess of those contemplated and thus reduce our stockholders’ investment returns. If we have a right of first refusal or buy/sell right to buy out a co-venturer, co-owner or partner, we may be unable to finance such a buy-out if it becomes exercisable or we may be required to purchase such interest at a time when it would not otherwise be in our best interest to do so. If our interest is subject to a buy/sell right, we may not have sufficient cash, available borrowing capacity or other capital resources to allow us to elect to purchase an interest of a co-venturer subject to the buy/sell right, in which case we may be forced to sell our interest as the result of the exercise of such right when we would otherwise prefer to keep our interest. Finally, we may not be able to sell our interest in a joint venture if we desire to exit the venture.
If we originate or invest in mortgage loans as part of our plan to acquire the underlying property, our mortgage loans may be affected by unfavorable real estate market conditions, including interest rate fluctuations, which could decrease the value of those loans and the return on our stockholders’ investments in us.
If we originate or invest in mortgage loans, we will be at risk of defaults by the borrowers on those mortgage loans as well as interest rate risks. To the extent we incur delays in liquidating such defaulted mortgage loans, we may not be able to obtain sufficient proceeds to repay all amounts due to us under the mortgage loan. Further, we will not know whether the values of the properties securing the mortgage loans will remain at the levels existing on the dates of origination of those mortgage loans. If the values of the underlying properties fall, our risk will increase because of the lower value of the security associated with such loans. In addition, interest rate fluctuations could reduce our returns as compared to market interest rates and reduce the value of the mortgage loans in the event we sell them.
Construction loans involve a high risk of loss if we are unsuccessful in raising the unfunded portion of the loan or if a borrower otherwise fails to complete the construction of a project.
We have originated a construction loan. If we are unsuccessful in raising the unfunded portion of a construction loan, there could be adverse consequences associated with the loan, including a loss of the value of the property securing the loan if the construction is not completed and the borrower is unable to raise funds to complete it from other sources; a borrower claim against us for failure to perform under the loan documents; increased costs to the borrower that the borrower is unable to pay; a bankruptcy filing by the borrower; and abandonment by the borrower of the collateral for the loan. Further, other non-cash flowing assets such as land loans and pre-development loans may fail to qualify for construction financing and may need to be liquidated based on the “as-is” value as opposed to a valuation based on the ability to construct certain real property improvements. The occurrence of such events may have a negative impact on our results of operations.
Risks of cost overruns and non-completion of the construction or development of the properties underlying loans we originate or acquire may materially and adversely affect our investment.
The development, renovation, or refurbishment by a borrower under a mortgaged or leveraged property involves risks of cost overruns and non-completion. Costs of construction to bring a property up to standards established for the market position intended for that property may exceed original estimates, possibly making a project uneconomical. Other risks may include environmental risks and the possibility of construction, rehabilitation and subsequent leasing of the property not being completed on schedule. If such construction or renovation is not completed in a timely manner, or if it costs more than expected, the borrower may experience a prolonged impairment of net operating income and may not be able to make payments on our investment.

Investments in real estate-related securities may be illiquid, and we may not be able to adjust our portfolio in response to changes in economic and other conditions.
If we invest in certain real estate-related securities that we may purchase in connection with privately negotiated transactions, they will not be registered under the relevant securities laws, resulting in a prohibition against their transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition except in a transaction that is exempt from the registration requirements of, or is otherwise in accordance with, those laws. As a result, our ability to vary our long-term stabilized portfolio in response to changes in economic and other conditions may be relatively limited. The mezzanine and bridge loans we may purchase will be particularly illiquid investments due to their short life. Moreover, in the event of a borrower’s default on an illiquid real estate security, the unsuitability for securitization and potential lack of recovery of our investment could pose serious risks of loss to our investment portfolio.
Delays in restructuring or liquidating non-performing real estate-related securities could reduce the return on our stockholders’ investment.
If we invest in real estate-related securities, they may become non-performing after acquisition for a wide variety of reasons. Such non-performing real estate investments may require a substantial amount of workout negotiations and/or restructuring, which may entail, among other things, a substantial reduction in the interest rate and a substantial write-down of such loan or asset. However, even if a restructuring is successfully accomplished, upon maturity of such real estate security, replacement “takeout” financing may not be available. We may find it necessary or desirable to foreclose on some of the collateral securing one or more of our investments. Intercreditor provisions may substantially interfere with our ability to do so. Even if foreclosure is an option, the foreclosure process can be lengthy and expensive. Borrowers often resist foreclosure actions by asserting numerous claims, counterclaims and defenses, including, without limitation, lender liability claims and defenses, in an effort to prolong the foreclosure action. In some states, foreclosure actions can take up to several years or more to litigate. At any time during the foreclosure proceedings, the borrower may file for bankruptcy, which would have the effect of staying the foreclosure action and further delaying the foreclosure process. Foreclosure litigation tends to create a negative public image of the collateral property and may result in disrupting ongoing leasing and management of the property. Foreclosure actions by senior lenders may substantially affect the amount that we may receive from an investment.
Our stockholders’ investment return may be reduced if we are required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act; if we or our subsidiaries become an unregistered investment company, we could not continue our business.
Neither we nor any of our subsidiaries intend to register as investment companies under the Investment Company Act. If we or our subsidiaries were obligated to register as investment companies, we would have to comply with a variety of substantive requirements under the Investment Company Act that impose, among other things:
• | limitations on capital structure; |
• | restrictions on specified investments; |
• | prohibitions on transactions with affiliates; and |
• | compliance with reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy disclosure and other rules and regulations that would significantly increase our operating expenses. |
Under the relevant provisions of Section 3(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act, an investment company is any issuer that:
• | is or holds itself out as being engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities (the “primarily engaged test”); or |
• | is engaged or proposes to engage in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities and owns or proposes to acquire “investment securities” having a value exceeding 40% of the value of such issuer’s total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis (the “40% test”). “Investment securities” excludes U.S. government securities and securities of majority-owned subsidiaries that are not themselves investment companies and are not relying on the exception from the definition of investment company under Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) (relating to private investment companies). |
We believe that we and our Operating Partnership satisfy both exceptions above. With respect to the 40% test, most of the entities through which we and our Operating Partnership own our assets are majority-owned subsidiaries that are not themselves investment companies and are not relying on the exceptions from the definition of investment company under Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7).
With respect to the primarily engaged test, we and our Operating Partnership are holding companies and do not intend to invest or trade in securities ourselves. Rather, through the majority-owned subsidiaries of our Operating Partnership, we and our Operating Partnership are primarily engaged in the non-investment company businesses of these subsidiaries, namely the business of purchasing or otherwise acquiring real estate and real estate-related assets.
19 |
We believe that most of the subsidiaries of our Operating Partnership will be able to rely on Section 3(c)(5)(C) of the Investment Company Act for an exception from the definition of an investment company. (Any other subsidiaries of our Operating Partnership should be able to rely on the exceptions for private investment companies pursuant to Section 3(c)(1) and Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act.) As reflected in no-action letters, the SEC staff’s position on Section 3(c) (5)(C) generally requires that an issuer maintain at least 55% of its assets in “mortgages and other liens on and interests in real estate,” or qualifying assets; at least 80% of its assets in qualifying assets plus real estate-related assets; and no more than 20% of the value of its assets in other than qualifying assets and real estate-related assets, which we refer to as miscellaneous assets. To constitute a qualifying asset under this 55% requirement, a real estate interest must meet various criteria based on no-action letters. We expect that each of the subsidiaries of our Operating Partnership relying on Section 3(c)(5)(C) will invest at least 55% of its assets in qualifying assets, and approximately an additional 25% of its assets in other types of real estate-related assets. We expect to rely on guidance published by the SEC staff or on our analyses of guidance published with respect to types of assets to determine which assets are qualifying real estate assets and real estate-related assets.
To maintain compliance with the Investment Company Act, our subsidiaries may be unable to sell assets we would otherwise want them to sell and may need to sell assets we would otherwise wish them to retain. In addition, our subsidiaries may have to acquire additional assets that they might not otherwise have acquired or may have to forego opportunities to make investments that we would otherwise want them to make and would be important to our investment strategy. Moreover, the SEC or its staff may issue interpretations with respect to various types of assets that are contrary to our views and current SEC staff interpretations are subject to change, which increases the risk of non-compliance and the risk that we may be forced to make adverse changes to our portfolio. In this regard, we note that in 2011 the SEC issued a concept release indicating that the SEC and its staff were reviewing interpretive issues relating to Section 3(c)(5)(C) and soliciting views on the application of Section 3(c)(5)(C) to companies engaged in the business of acquiring mortgages and mortgage-related instruments. If we were required to register as an investment company but failed to do so, we would be prohibited from engaging in our business and criminal and civil actions could be brought against us. In addition, our contracts would be unenforceable unless a court required enforcement and a court could appoint a receiver to take control of us and liquidate our business.
Rapid changes in the values of our assets may make it more difficult for us to maintain our qualification as a REIT or our exception from the definition of an investment company under the Investment Company Act.
If the market value or income potential of our qualifying real estate assets changes as compared to the market value or income potential of our non-qualifying assets, or if the market value or income potential of our assets that are considered “real estate-related assets” under the Investment Company Act or REIT qualification tests changes as compared to the market value or income potential of our assets that are not considered “real estate-related assets” under the Investment Company Act or REIT qualification tests, whether as a result of increased interest rates, prepayment rates or other factors, we may need to modify our investment portfolio in order to maintain our REIT qualification or exception from the definition of an investment company. If the decline in asset values or income occurs quickly, this may be especially difficult, if not impossible, to accomplish. This difficulty may be exacerbated by the illiquid nature of many of the assets that we may own. We may have to make investment decisions that we otherwise would not make absent REIT and Investment Company Act considerations.
Risks Associated with Debt Financing
We will use debt financing to acquire properties and otherwise incur other indebtedness, which will increase our expenses and could subject us to the risk of losing properties in foreclosure if our cash flow is insufficient to make loan payments.
We have and expect to continue to acquire properties using debt financing. We intend to incur indebtedness up to 300% of our net assets (equivalent to 75% of the cost of our tangible assets), but upon a vote of the majority of our independent directors we may exceed this level of indebtedness. We may borrow funds for working capital requirements, tenant improvements, capital improvements, and leasing commissions. We may also borrow funds to make distributions including but not limited to funds to satisfy the REIT tax qualification requirement that we distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income (excluding net capital gains) to our stockholders. We may also borrow if we otherwise deem it necessary or advisable to ensure that we maintain our qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes or to avoid taxation on undistributed income or gain. To the extent we borrow funds; we may raise additional equity capital or sell properties to pay such debt.
If there is a shortfall between the cash flow from a property and the cash flow needed to service acquisition financing on that property, then the amount available for distributions to stockholders may be reduced. In addition, incurring mortgage debt increases the risk of loss since defaults on indebtedness secured by a property may result in lenders initiating foreclosure actions. In that case, we could lose the property securing the loan that is in default, thus reducing the value of our stockholders’ investment. For tax purposes, a foreclosure of any of our properties would be treated as a sale of the property for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage. If the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage exceeds our tax basis in the property, we would recognize taxable income on foreclosure, but we would not receive any cash proceeds. We may give full or partial guarantees to lenders of mortgage debt to the entities that own our properties. When we give a guaranty on behalf of an entity that owns one of our properties, we will be responsible to the lender for satisfaction of the debt if it is not paid by such entity. If any mortgages contain cross-collateralization or cross-default provisions, a default on a single property could affect multiple properties. If any of our properties are foreclosed upon due to a default, the value of our stockholders’ investments in us will be reduced. Liquidity in the global credit markets has been significantly contracted by market disruptions during the past two years, making it costly to obtain new debt financing, when debt financing is available at all. To the extent that market conditions prevent us from obtaining temporary acquisition financing on financially attractive terms, our ability to make suitable investments in commercial real estate could be delayed or limited. If we are unable to invest equity proceeds in suitable real estate investments for an extended period of time, distributions to our stockholders may be suspended and may be lower and the value of investments in our shares could be reduced.
20 |
Lenders may require us to enter into restrictive covenants relating to our operations, which could limit our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
When providing financing, a lender may impose restrictions on us that affect our distribution and operating policies and our ability to incur additional debt. Loan documents we enter into may contain covenants that limit our ability to further mortgage the property, discontinue insurance coverage, or replace our Advisor. These or other limitations may limit our flexibility and prevent us from achieving our operating plans.
Non-compliance with the financial covenants included in the documents evidencing our outstanding debt obligations may result in the lender imposing additional restrictions on our operations or constitute an event of default under such documents. Such events would harm our financial condition, results of operations and the return on our stockholders’ investment in us.
The documents evidencing our outstanding debt obligations typically include restrictive financial covenants, including that specified loan-to-value and debt service coverage ratios be maintained with respect to our financed properties before we can exercise certain rights under the documents relating to such properties. A breach of the financial covenants in these documents may result in the lender imposing additional restrictions on our operations, such as our ability to incur additional debt, or may allow the lender to impose cash traps with respect to cash flow from the property securing the loan. In addition, such a breach may constitute an event of default and the lender could require us to repay the debt immediately. If we fail to make such repayment in a timely manner, the lender may be entitled to take possession of any property securing the loan.
As of December 31, 2014, the average occupancy level at our Woodbury Mews property was below the minimum required under the financial covenants in our loan documents, violating a covenant of this loan. The lender has waived compliance with this covenant for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, but we can provide no assurances that the lender will continue to waive compliance with this covenant in future quarters. Any such violation constitutes an event of default under the loan agreement, and if we do not secure a waiver of this covenant in future quarters in which the property does not satisfy the minimum occupancy level, the lender could, in its discretion, declare the loan to be immediately due and payable, take possession of the Woodbury Mews property, enforce the Company’s guarantee of up to 25% of the loan balance, or exercise other remedies available to it under law. In addition, an event of default under the loan would increase the interest rate charged under the loan and adversely affect our ability to exercise the third extension option available under the loan upon its expiration in October 2015. Any of these actions would have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and the return on our stockholders’ investment in us.
High levels of debt or increases in interest rates could increase the amount of our loan payments, reduce the cash available for distribution to stockholders and subject us to the risk of losing properties in foreclosure if our cash flow is insufficient to make loan payments.
Our policies do not limit us from incurring debt. High debt levels would cause us to incur higher interest charges, would result in higher debt service payments, and could be accompanied by restrictive covenants. Interest we pay could reduce cash available for distribution to stockholders. Additionally, if we incur variable rate debt, increases in interest rates would increase our interest costs, which would reduce our cash flows and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. In addition, if we need to repay existing debt during periods of rising interest rates, we could be required to liquidate one or more of our investments in properties at times which may not permit realization of the maximum return on such investments and could result in a loss.
High mortgage rates may make it difficult for us to finance or refinance properties, which could reduce the number of properties we can acquire, our cash flows from operations and the amount of cash distributions we can make
If mortgage debt is unavailable at reasonable rates, we may not be able to finance the purchase of properties. If we place mortgage debt on properties, we run the risk of being unable to refinance the properties when the debt becomes due or of being unable to refinance on favorable terms. If interest rates are higher when we refinance the properties, our income could be reduced. We may be unable to refinance properties. If any of these events occurs, our cash flow would be reduced. This, in turn, would reduce cash available for distribution to you and may hinder our ability to raise capital by issuing more stock or borrowing more money.
Federal Income Tax Risks
Failure to qualify as a REIT would subject us to federal income tax, which would reduce the cash available for distribution to you.
We expect to operate in a manner that will allow us to continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. However, the federal income tax laws governing REITs are extremely complex, and interpretations of the federal income tax laws governing qualification as a REIT are limited. Qualifying as a REIT requires us to meet various tests regarding the nature of our assets and our income, the ownership of our outstanding stock, and the amount of our distributions on an ongoing basis. While we intend to operate so that we will qualify as a REIT, given the highly complex nature of the rules governing REITs, the ongoing importance of factual determinations, including the tax treatment of certain investments we may make, and the possibility of future changes in our circumstances, no assurance can be given that we will so qualify for any particular year. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any calendar year and we do not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, we would be required to pay federal income tax on our taxable income. We might need to borrow money or sell assets to pay that tax. Our payment of income tax would decrease the amount of our income available for distribution to you. Furthermore, if we fail to maintain our qualification as a REIT and we do not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, we no longer would be required to distribute substantially all of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders. Unless our failure to qualify as a REIT were excused under federal tax laws, we would be disqualified from taxation as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost.
Even if we qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we may be subject to other tax liabilities that reduce our cash flow and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
Even if we qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we may be subject to some federal, state and local taxes on our income or property. For example:
• | In order to qualify as a REIT, we must distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders (which is determined without regard to the dividends-paid deduction or net capital gain). To the extent that we satisfy the distribution requirement but distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income, we will be subject to federal corporate income tax on the undistributed income. |
• | We will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which distributions we pay in any calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of our ordinary income, 95% of our capital gain net income and 100% of our undistributed income from prior years. |
• | If we elect to treat property that we acquire in connection with a foreclosure of a mortgage loan or certain leasehold terminations as “foreclosure property,” we may avoid the 100% tax on gain from a resale of that property, but the income from the sale or operation of that property may be subject to corporate income tax at the highest applicable rate. |
• | If we sell an asset, other than foreclosure property, that we hold primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business, our gain would be subject to the 100% “prohibited transaction” tax unless such sale were made by one of our taxable REIT subsidiaries. |
We intend to make distributions to our stockholders to comply with the REIT requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.
21 |
To maintain our REIT status, we may be forced to forego otherwise attractive opportunities, which may delay or hinder our ability to meet our investment objectives and reduce the overall return to our stockholders.
To qualify as a REIT, we must satisfy certain tests on an ongoing basis concerning, among other things, the sources of our income, nature of our assets and the amounts we distribute to our stockholders. We may be required to make distributions to stockholders at times when it would be more advantageous to reinvest cash in our business or when we do not have funds readily available for distribution. Compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our ability to operate solely on the basis of maximizing profits and the value of our stockholders’ investments in us.
If we borrow money to meet the REIT minimum distribution requirement or for other working capital needs, our expenses will increase, our net income will be reduced by the amount of interest we pay on the money we borrow and we will be obligated to repay the money we borrow from future earnings or by selling assets, which will decrease future distributions to stockholders.
To qualify as a REIT, we generally must distribute annually to our stockholders a minimum of 90% of our taxable income, excluding capital gains. We will be subject to regular corporate income taxes to the extent that we distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income each year. Additionally, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on any amount by which distributions paid (or deemed paid) by us in any calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of our ordinary income, 95% of our capital gain net income and 100% of our undistributed income from previous years. Payments we make to redeem our shares generally are not taken into account for purposes of these distribution requirements. If we do not have sufficient cash to make distributions necessary to preserve our REIT status for any year or to avoid taxation, we may be forced to borrow funds or sell assets even if the market conditions at that time are not favorable for these borrowings or sales. We may decide to borrow funds in order to meet the REIT minimum distribution requirements even if our management believes that the then prevailing market conditions generally are not favorable for such borrowings or that such borrowings would not be advisable in the absence of such tax considerations. Distributions made in excess of our net income will generally constitute a return of capital to stockholders.
If we were to pay a “preferential dividend” to certain stockholders, our status as a REIT could be adversely affected.
In order to qualify as a REIT, we must distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income (excluding net capital gain), determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid. In order for distributions to be counted as satisfying the annual distribution requirements for REITs, and to provide us with a REIT-level tax deduction, the distribution must not be “preferential dividends.” A dividend is not a preferential dividend if the distribution is pro rata among all outstanding shares of stock within a particular class, and in accordance with the preferences among different classes of stock as set forth in our organizational documents. There is no de minimis exception with respect to preferential dividends; therefore, if the Internal Revenue Service were to take the position that we paid a preferential dividend, we may be deemed to have failed the 90% distribution test, and our status as a REIT could be terminated for the year in which such determination is made if we were unable to cure such failure.
If the Operating Partnership is classified as a “publicly-traded partnership” under the Internal Revenue Code, it could be subjected to tax on its income and the amount of distributions we make to our stockholders will be less.
We structured the Operating Partnership so that it would be classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. In this regard, the Internal Revenue Code generally classifies “publicly traded partnerships” (as defined in Section 7704 of the Internal Revenue Code) as associations taxable as corporations (rather than as partnerships), unless substantially all of their taxable income consists of specified types of passive income. In order to minimize the risk that the Internal Revenue Code would classify the Operating Partnership as a “publicly traded partnership” for tax purposes, we placed certain restrictions on the transfer and/or redemption of partnership units in our operating partnership. If the Internal Revenue Service were to assert successfully that the Operating Partnership is a “publicly traded partnership,” and substantially all of the Operating Partnership’s gross income did not consist of the specified types of passive income, the Internal Revenue Code would treat our Operating Partnership as an association taxable as a corporation. In such event, the character of our assets and items of gross income would change and would likely prevent us from qualifying and maintaining our status as a REIT. In addition, the imposition of a corporate tax on our Operating Partnership would reduce the amount of cash distributable to us from our Operating Partnership and therefore would reduce our amount of cash available to make distributions to our stockholders.
The tax on prohibited transactions will limit our ability to engage in transactions, including certain methods of securitizing mortgage loans that would be treated as sales for federal income tax purposes.
A REIT’s net income from prohibited transactions is subject to a 100% tax. In general, prohibited transactions are sales or other dispositions of assets, other than foreclosure property, deemed held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business. We might be subject to this tax if we were to dispose of or securitize loans in a manner that was treated as a sale of the loans for federal income tax purposes. Therefore, in order to avoid the prohibited transactions tax, we may choose not to engage in certain sales of loans at the REIT level, and may limit the structures we utilize for our securitization transactions, even though the sales or structures might otherwise be beneficial to us.
It may be possible to reduce the impact of the prohibited transaction tax by conducting certain activities through taxable REIT subsidiaries. However, to the extent that we engage in such activities through taxable REIT subsidiaries, the income associated with such activities may be subject to full corporate income tax.
22 |
Dividends payable by REITs do not qualify for the reduced tax rates.
The maximum tax rate for dividends payable to domestic stockholders that are individuals, trusts and estates is 20%. Dividends payable by REITs, however, are generally not eligible for this rate. The more favorable rates applicable to regular corporate dividends could cause investors who are individuals, trusts or estates to perceive investments in REITs to be relatively less attractive than investments in stock of non-REIT corporations that pay dividends, which could adversely affect the value of the stock of REITs, including our common stock.
Distributions to tax-exempt investors may be classified as unrelated business taxable income and tax-exempt investors would be required to pay tax on the unrelated business taxable income and to file income tax returns.
Neither ordinary nor capital gain distributions with respect to our common stock nor gain from the sale of stock should generally constitute unrelated business taxable income to a tax-exempt investor. However, there are certain exceptions to this rule. In particular:
• | under certain circumstances, part of the income and gain recognized by certain qualified employee pension trusts with respect to our stock may be treated as unrelated business taxable income if our stock is predominately held by qualified employee pension trusts, such that we are a “pension-held” REIT (which we do not expect to be the case); |
• | part of the income and gain recognized by a tax exempt investor with respect to our stock would constitute unrelated business taxable income if such investor incurs debt in order to acquire the common stock; and |
• | part or all of the income or gain recognized with respect to our stock held by social clubs, voluntary employee benefit associations, supplemental unemployment benefit trusts and qualified group legal services plans which are exempt from federal income taxation under Sections 501(c)(7), (9), (17), or (20) of the Code may be treated as unrelated business taxable income. |
Foreign investors may be subject to FIRPTA tax on the sale of our stock if we are unable to qualify as a “domestically controlled” REIT.
A foreign person disposing of a U.S. real property interest, including stock of a U.S. corporation whose assets consist principally of U.S. real property interests is generally subject to a tax, known as the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980 (“FIRPTA”) tax, on the gain recognized on the disposition. Distributions that are attributable to gains from the disposition of US real property interests by a REIT are subject to FIRPTA tax for foreign investors as though they were engaged in a trade or business and the distribution constitutes income which is effectively connected with such a business. Such FIRPTA tax does not apply, if the REIT is “domestically controlled.” A REIT is “domestically controlled” if less than 50% of the REIT’s capital stock, by value, has been owned directly or indirectly by persons who are not qualifying U.S. persons during a continuous five-year period ending on the date of disposition or, if shorter, during the entire period of the REIT’s existence.
We cannot be sure that we will qualify as a “domestically controlled” REIT. If we were to fail to so qualify, gain realized by foreign investors on a sale of our stock would be subject to FIRPTA tax, unless our stock were traded on an established securities market and the foreign investor did not at any time during a specified testing period directly or indirectly own more than 5% of the value of our outstanding common stock.
Retirement Plan Risks
If the fiduciary of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA (such as a profit sharing, Section 401(k) or pension plan) or an owner of a retirement arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code (such as an individual retirement account (“IRA”)) fails to meet the fiduciary and other standards under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code as a result of an investment in our stock, the fiduciary could be subject to penalties and other sanctions.
There are special considerations that apply to employee benefit plans subject to the ERISA (such as profit sharing, Section 401(k) or pension plans) and other retirement plans or accounts subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code (such as an IRA) that are investing in our shares. Fiduciaries and IRA owners investing the assets of such a plan or account in our common stock should satisfy themselves that:
• | the investment is consistent with their fiduciary and other obligations under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code; |
• | the investment is made in accordance with the documents and instruments governing the plan or IRA, including the plan’s or account’s investment policy; |
• | the investment satisfies the prudence and diversification requirements of Sections 404(a)(1)(B) and 404(a)(1)(C) of ERISA and other applicable provisions of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code; |
• | the investment in our shares, for which no public market currently exists, is consistent with the liquidity needs of the plan or IRA; |
• | the investment will not produce an unacceptable amount of “unrelated business taxable income” for the plan or IRA; and |
• | the investment will not constitute a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code. |
23 |
With respect to the annual valuation requirements described above, we will provide an estimated value for our shares. We can make no claim whether such estimated value will or will not satisfy the applicable annual valuation requirements under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code. The Department of Labor or the Internal Revenue Service may determine that a plan fiduciary or an IRA custodian is required to take further steps to determine the value of our common stock. In the absence of an appropriate determination of value, a plan fiduciary or an IRA custodian may be subject to damages, penalties or other sanctions.
Failure to satisfy the fiduciary standards of conduct and other applicable requirements of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code may result in the imposition of civil and criminal penalties and could subject the fiduciary to claims for damages or for equitable remedies, including liability for investment losses. In addition, if an investment in our shares constitutes a prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code, the fiduciary or IRA owner who authorized or directed the investment may be subject to the imposition of excise taxes with respect to the amount invested. In addition, the investment transaction must be undone. In the case of a prohibited transaction involving an IRA owner, the IRA may be disqualified as a tax-exempt account and all of the assets of the IRA may be deemed distributed and subjected to tax. ERISA plan fiduciaries and IRA owners should consult with counsel before making an investment in our common stock.

Market Information
During the period covered by this report, there was no established public trading market for our shares of common stock.
On February 28, 2014, our Board of Directors approved an estimated per-share value of our common stock equal to $11.63 per share, calculated as of December 31, 2013.
In arriving at this estimate, our overall objective was to determine an estimated per-share value that is supported by a methodology and assumptions that are appropriate and that employ procedures and calculations that can be reliably repeated in future periods. In furtherance of this objective, we engaged HealthTrust, LLC (“HealthTrust”), an independent third-party commercial real estate valuation firm, to appraise all of our real estate assets. Our board of directors, including all of the independent directors, reviewed the qualifications of HealthTrust to appraise our real estate portfolio and determined that HealthTrust possesses the experience and professional competence necessary to be relied upon as experts with respect to the valuation of our real estate assets. The compensation we pay to HealthTrust is based on the scope of the work requested and not on the appraised values of our real estate assets.
HealthTrust’s analyses, opinions, and conclusions were developed in conformity with the Code of Professional Ethics and the Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice of the Appraisal Institute and in conformity with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. They appraised each of our real estate assets individually, collecting all reasonably available material information deemed relevant in appraising our real estate properties, including property-level historical and projected operating revenues and expenses provided by our Advisor. Each appraisal was reviewed, approved and signed by an individual with the professional designation of Member of the Appraisal Institute.
Our board of directors also considered the qualifications of the Advisor, including its professional staff, and determined that the Advisor possesses the experience and professional competence necessary to be relied upon as an expert with respect to the valuation of our assets and liabilities and the shares of our common stock. Our Advisor prepared a report that recommended an estimated per-share value based on the appraisals prepared by HealthTrust and its own estimates of valuation with respect to our debt and non-real estate assets and liabilities. Our board of directors reviewed the report prepared by our Advisor, which recommended an estimated per-share value, and considered all information provided in light of its own knowledge regarding our assets and liabilities and unanimously agreed upon an estimated value of $11.63 per share, which is consistent with the recommendations of our Advisor and the independent appraisals.
Our estimated per-share value was calculated by aggregating the appraised value of our individual real estate assets and the estimated fair value of our other assets, subtracting the estimated fair value of our liabilities, including preferred investor liquidation preferences, adjusting the valuations for interests in joint ventures on selected assets, and dividing the total by the number of our common shares outstanding.
The following table summarizes the material components of the estimated net asset value per share for 2013 and 2012. Our estimated aggregate share value below is the same as our net asset value. It does not reflect any portfolio premium.

The estimated per-share value at December 31, 2013 and 2012 was determined using a methodology that follows the recommendations of the Investment Program Association, a trade association for non-listed direct investments (the “IPA”) outlined in the IPA Practice Guideline 2013-01 titled Valuations of Publicly Registered Non-Listed REITs, which was adopted in May 2013.
(1) | Our real estate assets were appraised as of November 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, for the December 31, 2013 and 2012 valuations, respectively, using valuation methods that we believe are typically used by investors for properties similar to ours, including capitalization of the property net operating income, comparison with sales of similar properties and a cost approach. We do not believe that there have been any material changes in the value of our real estate assets between the appraisal dates and the respective valuation dates. In determining the appraised value of our real estate assets, HealthTrust placed primary emphasis on a direct capitalization analysis, with the other approaches used principally to confirm the reasonableness of the value conclusion and to value assets in lease up. Using this methodology, the appraised value of our real estate assets reflects an overall increase from original purchase price, exclusive of acquisition costs, plus post-acquisition capital investments, of 26.0%. |
27 |
The key assumptions used by HealthTrust to value our real estate assets are as follow:
Capitalization Rates | Range | Median | ||||
Senior Housing Properties | 7.5% - 8.5% | 8.0% | ||||

We believe that the assumptions employed in the property appraisals are reasonable and within the ranges used for properties similar to ours and held by investors with similar expectations to our investors. However, a change in the assumptions utilized by the independent appraisers would impact the calculation of the value of our real estate assets. For example, assuming all other factors remain unchanged, a change in the assumed capitalization rate by 0.50% would yield a change in our net asset value ranging from an increase of approximately $1.29 per share to a decrease of approximately $1.14 per share. Based upon the property net operating income for our properties as estimated by the independent appraisers, the aggregate appraised value of the portfolio was $354.0 million at December 31, 2013 and $281.3 million at December 31, 2012.
(2) | The fair value of our debt instruments was estimated using discounted cash flow models, which incorporate assumptions that we believe reflect the terms currently available on similar borrowing arrangements to borrowers with credit profiles similar to ours. Borrowing arrangements considered in determining appropriate discount rates include loan term, lender criteria and property characteristics. |
(3) | The liquidation preference of preferred interests reflects the payments that would be due to our Series C Preferred Stock holder and the Series B Convertible Preferred Unit holder at December 31, 2013, as determined in accordance with the terms of the governing documents. |
(4) | The fair value of our non-real estate assets and liabilities is estimated at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 to reflect book value given their typically short-term (less than 1 year) settlement periods. Such adjustment also includes the effect of ownership of certain of our properties by joint venture partners and the amount that would be paid to our Advisor as a promote in accordance with IPA Practice Guidelines. |
Our estimated per-share value of $11.63 as of December 31, 2013 has been positively affected by the performance of our portfolio as well as the overall strength of healthcare real estate market dynamics. We previously reported estimated per-share valuations of $11.63 (as of December 31, 2013) and $10.02 (as of December 31, 2012) on Current Reports on Form 8-K dated February 14, 2013 and December 22, 2011, respectively.
Limitations and Risks
As with any valuation methodology, our methodology is based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that may not be accurate or complete (see the footnotes to the table above). The above estimated per-share value does not reflect costs that would be incurred in connection with the sale of individual properties, or the premium, if any, that could result for a sale of the entire portfolio and related costs of such a disposition including payments to our Advisor. Different parties with different assumptions and estimates could derive a different estimated per-share value. Accordingly, with respect to our estimated per-share value, we can provide no assurance that:
· | a stockholder would be able to realize this estimated value per share upon attempting to resell his or her shares; |
· | we would be able to achieve, for our stockholders, the estimated value per share, upon a listing of our shares of common stock on a national securities exchange, selling our real estate portfolio, or merging with another company; or |
· | the estimated share value or the methodologies relied upon to estimate the share value, will be found by any regulatory authority to comply with FINRA, ERISA, or any other regulatory requirements. |
Furthermore, the estimated value of our shares was calculated as of a particular point in time. The value of our shares will fluctuate over time in response to, among other things, changes in real estate market fundamentals, capital markets activities, and attributes specific to the properties within our portfolio.

Stock Repurchase Program
In 2007, we adopted a stock repurchase program for investors who had held their shares for at least one year. Under our stock repurchase program, the repurchase price varied depending on the purchase price paid by the stockholder and the number of years the shares are held. Our board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the program at any time with 30 days prior notice to stockholders. We have no obligation to repurchase our stockholders’ shares. In 2009, our board of directors waived the one-year holding period in the event of the death of a stockholder and adjusted the repurchase price to 100% of such stockholder’s purchase price irrespective of how long the stockholder held the shares.
Our stock repurchase program has been suspended since May 29, 2011 for all repurchases, except repurchases due to death of a stockholder. On March 31, 2014, we informed our stockholders of the suspension of the share repurchase program following the March 2014 redemption date. The Company redeemed all stock repurchase requests received prior to March 31, 2014 due to death. Thereafter no shares will be repurchased until the repurchase program is reinstated.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, we redeemed shares pursuant to our stock repurchase program as follows:
Period | Total Number of Shares Redeemed | Average
Price Paid per Share | Approximate Dollar Value of Shares Available that may Yet to be Repurchased under the Program | |||||||
First quarter 2014 | 6,000 | $ | 11.63 | (1) | ||||||
Second quarter 2014 | 43,962 | 11.63 | (1) | |||||||
Third quarter 2014 | - | - | (1) | |||||||
Fourth quarter 2014 | - | - | (1) | |||||||
49,962 |
(1) | With respect to redemptions requested within one year of the death of a stockholder, we may, but will not be obligated to, redeem shares even if such redemption causes the number of shares redeemed to exceed 5% of the number of shares outstanding at the end of the prior calendar year. |
Our board of directors reserves the right in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time, upon 30 days prior notice to our stockholders, to amend, reinstate or terminate our stock repurchase program.
Stockholders
As of March 15, 2015, we had approximately 11.5 million shares of common stock outstanding held by 3,275 stockholders of record.
Distributions
In order to meet the requirements for being treated as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, we must pay distributions to our shareholders each taxable year equal to at least 90% of our net ordinary taxable income. Until proceeds from our equity issuances are invested and generating operating cash flow sufficient to make distributions to stockholders, we may pay all or a substantial portion of our distributions from equity proceeds or from borrowings in anticipation of future cash flow. Our board generally declares distributions on a quarterly basis, which are paid on a quarterly basis. Quarterly distributions are paid based on daily record dates so our investor will be entitled to be paid distributions beginning on the day that they purchase shares.
29 |
During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we paid distributions, including any distributions reinvested, aggregating approximately $5.8 million and $6.2 million, respectively to our stockholders. From October 16, 2006 (date of inception) to December 31, 2014, distributions declared were approximately $30.8 million. Of this amount, $5.6 million has been reinvested through our distribution reinvestment plan and $23.7 million has been paid in cash to stockholders. Since inception, we have experienced a cumulative positive cash flow from operations of approximately $23.6 million. Accordingly, from our inception to date, our total distributions have exceeded our cash flows from operations.
The following table shows the distributions declared on daily record dates for each day during the period from January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2014, aggregated by quarter.

Our board of directors declared distributions for daily record dates occurring in the first quarter of 2013 in amounts per share that, if declared and paid each day for a 365-day period, would equate to an annualized rate of $.475 per share (4.75% based on share price of $10.00). Commencing with the declaration of distribution for daily record dates occurring in the second quarter of 2013 and thereafter, our board of directors has declared distributions in amounts per share that, if declared and paid each day for a 365-day period, would equate to an annualized rate of $.50 per share (5.00% based on share price of $10.00).
The declaration of distributions is at the discretion of our board of directors and our board will determine the amount of distributions on a regular basis. The amount of distributions will depend on our funds from operations, financial condition, capital requirements, annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and other factors our board of directors deems relevant. We may amend or terminate the distribution reinvestment plan for any reason at any time upon 10 days prior written notice to participants.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-K. See also “Special Note about Forward Looking Statements” preceding Item 1 of this report.
Overview
We were incorporated on October 16, 2006 for the purpose of engaging in the business of investing in and owning commercial real estate. We intend to invest primarily in investment real estate including health care properties and other real estate related assets located in markets in the United States.
Since January 1, 2012, our business has been managed by our Advisor pursuant to the Advisory Agreement. The Advisor is responsible for managing our affairs on a day-to-day basis and for identifying and making acquisitions and investments on our behalf under the terms of the Advisory Agreement. Our Advisor has contractual and fiduciary responsibilities to us and our stockholders. Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, our Advisor will use commercially reasonable efforts to present to us investment opportunities and to provide a continuing and suitable investment program consistent with the investment policies and objectives adopted by our board of directors.
On February 10, 2013, we entered into a series of agreements, which have been amended at various points after February 10, 2013, with the Investor for the purpose of obtaining up to $158.7 million of equity funding to be used to finance future real estate investments (such investments and the related agreements are referred to herein collectively as “the KKR Equity Commitment”). Pursuant to the KKR Equity Commitment, we may issue and sell to the Investor and its affiliates on a private placement basis from time to time over a period of up to three years, up to $158.7 million in aggregate issuance amount of preferred securities in the Company and the Operating Partnership.
As of December 31, 2014, we had issued and outstanding 11,472,765 shares of common stock, and 1,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. All 1,000 shares of the Series C Preferred Stock were issued to the Investor pursuant to the KKR Equity Commitment. In addition, as of December 31, 2014 the Operating Partnership had issued and outstanding 20,000 Common Units, 1,000 Series A Preferred Units, and 946,560 Series B Preferred Units.
In connection with the KKR Equity Commitment, we entered into the Transition Agreement with our Advisor and the Investor which sets forth the terms for a transition to an internal management structure for the Company. The Transition Agreement, as amended, requires that the existing external advisory structure will remain in place upon substantially the same terms as currently in effect until February 10, 2017, upon which time the advisory function will be internalized in accordance with procedures set forth in the Transition Agreement.
We commenced our initial public offering of our common stock on June 20, 2008. We stopped making offers under our initial public offering on February 3, 2011 after raising gross offering proceeds of $123.9 million from the sale of approximately 12.4 million shares, including shares sold under the distribution reinvestment plan. On February 4, 2011, we commenced a follow-on offering of our common stock. We suspended primary offering sales in our follow-on offering on April 29, 2011 and completed the final sale of shares under the distribution reinvestment plan on May 10, 2011. We raised gross offering proceeds under the follow-on offering of $8.4 million from the sale of approximately 800,000 shares, including shares sold under the distribution reinvestment plan.
31 |
On June 19, 2013, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 to register up to $99,000,000 of shares of common stock to be offered to our existing stockholders pursuant to the DRIP offering. The DRIP offering shares were initially offered at a purchase price of $10.02 per share, which was the current estimated per-share value of our common stock. Effective February 28, 2014, the offering price of the DRIP shares was adjusted to $11.63 per share, which is our updated estimated per-share value of common stock as of February 28, 2014.
Our revenues, which are comprised largely of rental income, include rents reported on a straight-line basis over the initial term of each lease. Our growth depends, in part, on our ability to (i) increase rental income and other earned income from leases by increasing rental rates and occupancy levels; and (ii) control operating and other expenses, including maximizing tenant recoveries as provided for in lease structures. Our operations are impacted by property specific, market specific, general economic and other conditions.
Market Outlook — Real Estate and Real Estate Finance Markets
In recent years, both the national and most global economies have experienced increased unemployment and a downturn in economic activity, as well as significant market fluctuations. Despite certain recent more positive economic indicators and improved stock market performance, the economic environment continues to be unpredictable and to present challenges that may delay the implementation of our business strategy or force us to modify it.
Despite the economic conditions discussed above, the demand for health care services is projected to continue to grow for the foreseeable future. According to The National Coalition on Healthcare, by 2016 nearly $1 in every $5 in the United States will be spent on healthcare, and the aging US population is expected to continue to fuel the need for healthcare services. The over age 65 population of the United States is projected to grow 36% between 2010 and 2020, compared with 9% for the general population, according to the US Census Bureau. Presently, the healthcare real estate market is fragmented, with a local or regional focus, offering opportunities for consolidation and market dominance. We believe that a diversified portfolio of healthcare property types minimizes risks associated with third-party payors, such as Medicare and Medicaid, while also allowing us to capitalize on the favorable demographic trends described above.
Highlights for the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2014
· | We purchased 1,113,213 shares of our common stock for an aggregate cost of approximately $10.0 million. |

Results of Operations
As of December 31, 2014, we operated in three reportable business segments: senior living operations, triple-net leased properties, and medical office building (“MOB”) properties. Our senior living operations segment invests in and operates assisted living, memory care and other senior housing communities located in the United States. We engage independent third party managers to operate these properties. Our triple-net leased properties segment invests in healthcare properties in the United States leased under long term “triple-net” or “absolute-net” leases, which require the tenants to pay all property-related expenses. Our MOB segment invests in medical office buildings and leases those properties to healthcare providers under long term “full service” leases which may require tenants to reimburse property related expenses to us.
We purchased our first property in January 2009, and as of December 31, 2014, we owned interests in 30 properties. For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, our investments by segment were as follows:
Segment (1) | 2014 | 2013 | 2012 | |||||||||
Senior living | 22 | 17 | 14 | |||||||||
Medical office building | 1 | 1 | 1 | |||||||||
Triple-net leased | 4 | 3 | 3 |
(1) | In addition to our three reportable business segments, which reflect the operations of our consolidated investments, we also have investments in unconsolidated joint ventures. For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012 we had three, one and two investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, respectively. |
32 |
In January 2014, we acquired a 25% interest in a joint venture entity that will develop Buffalo Crossing, a senior living facility. In April 2014, we acquired a 95% joint venture interest in Compass on the Bay, a senior living facility. In August 2014, we acquired St. Andrews Village, a senior living facility, accounted for under a triple net lease arrangement. In October 2014, we acquired a 65% interest in a joint venture entity that will develop The Parkway. In November 2014, we acquired Spring Village at Wildewood and Live Oaks Village of Hammond and Slidell, senior living facilities. In December 2014, we acquired Gables of Hudson and Sumter Place, senior living facilities. Buffalo Crossing and The Parkway are accounted for as unconsolidated joint ventures.
In October 2013, we acquired Woodbury Mews, a two facility senior living campus, and in December 2013, we acquired a 95% joint venture interest in Standish Village, a senior living facility. In August 2013, we sold our joint venture interest in an unconsolidated property, Littleton Specialty Rehabilitation Facility.
The results of our operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 are affected by our acquisitions that have occurred during the periods.

(1) | Net operating income, a non-GAAP supplemental measure, is defined as total revenue less property operating and maintenance expenses. We use net operating income to evaluate the operating performance of our real estate investments and to make decisions concerning the operation of the property. We believe that net operating income is useful to investors in understanding the value of income-producing real estate. Net income is the GAAP measure that is most directly comparable to net operating income; however, net operating income should not be considered as an alternative to net income as the primary indicator of operating performance as it excludes certain items such as depreciation and amortization, interest expense and corporate general and administrative expenses. Additionally, net operating income as we define it may not be comparable to net operating income as defined by other REITs or companies. |
Senior Living Operations
Total revenue for senior living operations includes rental revenue and resident fees and service income. Property operating and maintenance expenses include labor, food, utilities, marketing, management and other property operating costs. Net operating income for the year ended December 31, 2014 increased to $23.2 million from $18.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase is primarily due to the inclusion of the operations of Compass on the Bay in the second quarter of 2014 and The Villages at Wildewood, Live Oaks Village of Hammond and Slidell, and Gables of Hudson in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Unallocated (expenses) income
General and administrative expenses decreased to $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 from $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The decrease is primarily the result of a $0.3 million higher income tax benefit in 2014 as compared to 2013.
Asset management fees and expenses increased to $4.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 from $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, as a result of a higher asset base. Real estate acquisition costs increased to $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 from $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, primarily as a result of the increase of acquisitions in 2014. The increase in depreciation and amortization to $11.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 from $8.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 reflects the effect of 2014 and 2013 real estate acquisitions.
34 |
Interest expense, net, for the year ended December 31, 2014 increased to $9.9 million from $8.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, primarily as a result of the debt incurred for acquisitions that occurred throughout 2014.
The 2014 equity in loss from unconsolidated joint ventures relates to the operations of Physicians Center MOB. The 2013 equity in loss from unconsolidated joint ventures relates to the operations of Physicians Center MOB and is partially offset by income from the Littleton Specialty Rehabilitation Facility that was sold in August of 2013.

(1) | Net operating income, a non-GAAP supplemental measure, is defined as total revenue less property operating and maintenance expenses. We use net operating income to evaluate the operating performance of our real estate investments and to make decisions concerning the operation of the property. We believe that net operating income is useful to investors in understanding the value of income-producing real estate. Net income is the GAAP measure that is most directly comparable to net operating income; however, net operating income should not be considered as an alternative to net income as the primary indicator of operating performance as it excludes certain items such as depreciation and amortization, interest expense and corporate general and administrative expenses. Additionally, net operating income as we define it may not be comparable to net operating income as defined by other REITs or companies. |
Senior Living Operations
Total revenue for senior living operations includes rental revenue and resident fees and service income. Property operating and maintenance expenses include labor, food, utilities, marketing, management and other property operating costs. Net operating income for the year ended December 31, 2013 increased to $18.1 million from $13.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase is primarily due to the inclusion of the operations of the four Leah Bay joint venture properties for a full year in 2013 and the operations of Woodbury Mews and Standish Village properties after their acquisitions during the fourth quarter of 2013. In addition, net operating income from properties acquired prior to 2012 increased approximately 4.5% in 2013.

Triple-Net Leased Properties
Total revenue for triple-net leased properties includes rental revenue and expense reimbursements from tenants.

Net operating income increased to $5.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $4.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, primarily due to the ownership of a controlling interest in the Rome LTACH for a full year in 2013. The operations of Rome LTACH were included in our consolidated triple-net leased segment for a full year in 2013 and for the period after the date of the acquisition in April 2012 when we began consolidating Rome LTACH.

Unallocated (expenses) income
General and administrative expenses decreased to $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The decrease is primarily the result of lower non-recurring professional fees, partially offset by a lower 2013 income tax benefit. Non-recurring expenses incurred in 2012 included consulting, legal and accounting charges incurred in the transition to a new advisor and corporate relocation.
Asset management fees and expenses increased to $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $2.2 million in 2012, as a result of the increase in net asset value of the December 31, 2012 portfolio and acquisition of two properties in 2013. Real estate acquisition costs and contingent considerations were comparable between years reflecting respective acquisition activity. The increase in depreciation and amortization to $8.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 reflects the effect of 2013 and 2012 real estate acquisitions.
Interest expense, net, for the year ended December 31, 2013 increased to $8.3 million from $7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, due to real estate acquisitions in 2013 and 2012 and higher balances on refinanced loans, primarily during 2012, partially offset by lower interest rates on the refinanced debt. Other expense in 2013 consists of a gain of $1.7 on the disposition of our interest in an unconsolidated subsidiary, partially offset by an approximate $0.4 million loss on debt extinguishment. Other expense of $1.2 million in 2012 represents the loss associated with the refinancing of the loan on the Carriage Court at Hilliard property that was completed in October 2012.
The 2013 equity in loss from unconsolidated joint ventures relates to the operations of Physicians Center MOB, partially offset by income from the Littleton Specialty Rehabilitation Facility that was sold in August of 2013. The 2012 equity in loss from unconsolidated joint ventures includes the operations of the Rome LTACH joint venture until we acquired a controlling interest in the property in April 2012, after which it was consolidated, the operations of the Physicians Centre MOB joint venture, purchased in April 2012, and the operations of the Littleton Specialty Rehabilitation facility from its completion in July 2012.
36 |
Our equity interest in the Rome LTACH joint venture was revalued in connection with the acquisition of our partners’ joint venture interests resulting in a $1.3 million gain on remeasurement.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On June 19, 2013, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 to register up to $99,000,000 of shares of common stock to be offered to our existing stockholders pursuant to an amended and restated distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRIP Offering”). The DRIP Offering shares were initially offered at a purchase price of $10.02, which was the then-current estimated per-share value of our common stock. Effective February 28, 2014, DRIP offering price for the shares was adjusted to $11.63 per share, which is our estimated per-share value of our common stock as of February 28, 2014.
On February 10, 2013, we entered into the KKR Equity Commitment for the purpose of obtaining up to $158.7 million of equity funding to be used to finance future investment opportunities. Pursuant to the KKR Equity Commitment, we may issue and sell to the Investor and its affiliates on a private placement basis from time to time over a period of up to three years, up to $158.7 million in aggregate issuance amount of shares of newly issued Series C Preferred Stock and newly issued Series B Preferred Units. As of December 31, 2014, we had issued 1,000 shares of our Series C Preferred Stock and 946,560 Series B Preferred Units to the Investor (See Note 13 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements) and approximately $63.9 million of this commitment is available for investments. Based on acquisition activity we anticipate, provided we can secure necessary lender amounts per a “change of control”, that we will draw all funds available from the KKR Equity Commitment by March 31, 2015.
We expect that primary sources of capital will include debt financing, net cash flows from operations and net proceeds from the sale of preferred units of partnership interest in our Operating Partnership in accordance with the terms of the KKR Equity Commitment to the extent we have funds available to draw. We expect that our primary uses of capital will be for property acquisitions, including promote monetization payments for other real estate-related investments, for the payment of tenant improvements and capital improvements and operating expenses, including interest expense on any outstanding indebtedness, reducing outstanding indebtedness and for the payment of distributions.
We intend to own our stabilized properties with low to moderate levels of debt financing. We will incur moderate to high levels of indebtedness when acquiring development or value-added properties and possibly other real estate investments. For our stabilized core plus properties, our long-term goal will be to use low to moderate levels of debt financing with leverage ranging from 50% to 65% of the value of the asset. For development and value-added properties, our goal will be to acquire and develop or redevelop these properties using moderate to high levels of debt financing with leverage ranging from 65% to 75% of the cost of the asset. Once these properties are developed, redeveloped and stabilized with tenants, we plan to reduce the levels of debt to fall within target debt ranges appropriate for core properties. While we seek to fall within the outlined targets on a portfolio basis, for any specific property we may exceed these estimates. To the extent sufficient proceeds from public offerings, debt financing, the KKR Equity Commitment or a combination of these are unavailable to repay debt financing down to the target ranges within a reasonable time as determined by our board of directors, we will endeavor to raise additional equity or sell properties to repay such debt so that we will own our properties with low to moderate levels of permanent financing. In the event that we are unable to raise additional equity, our ability to diversify our investments may be diminished.
As of December 31, 2014, we had approximately $35.6 million in cash and cash equivalents on hand. Our liquidity will increase from the sale of common stock pursuant to our DRIP Offering, the sale of preferred units of partnership interest in our Operating Partnership pursuant to the KKR Equity Commitment, if refinancing results in excess loan proceeds, and increased cash flows from operations. The Company’s liquidity will decrease as net offering proceeds are expended in connection with acquisitions and if distributions are made in excess of cash available from operating cash flows.
In addition, one of our principal liquidity requirements includes debt service payments and the repayment of maturing debt. As of December 31, 2014, our notes payable were $276.4 million ($276.5 million, including premium).
We are required by the terms of the applicable loan documents to meet certain financial covenants, such as debt service coverage ratios, rent coverage ratios and reporting requirements. As of December 31, 2014, we were in compliance with all such covenants and requirements, with the exception of Woodbury Mews. As of December 31, 2014, the average occupancy level at our Woodbury Mews property was below the minimum required under the financial covenants in our loan documents, violating a covenant of this loan. The lender has waived compliance with this covenant for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, but we can provide no assurances that the lender will continue to waive compliance with this covenant in future quarters. Any such violation constitutes an event of default under the loan agreement, and if we do not secure a waiver of this covenant in future quarters in which the property does not satisfy the minimum occupancy level, the lender could, in its discretion, declare the loan to be immediately due and payable, take possession of the Woodbury Mews property, enforce the Company’s guarantee of up to 25% of the loan balance, or exercise other remedies available to it under law. If the lender were to declare the loan to be immediately due and payable, we expect to refinance the loan in satisfaction of the debt. Any such refinancing may be on terms and conditions less favorable than the terms currently available under the loan.
Cash flows provided by operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were $13.2 million and $8.9 million, respectively. The increase in cash flows from operations was primarily due to an increase in net operating income of $6.6 million, partially offset by the timing of cash receipts and payments.
Cash flows used in investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were $141.7 million and $50.2, respectively. The 2014 increase was due primarily to a higher level of property acquisition activity in 2014, including: the investment in Buffalo Crossing and the acquisition of Compass on the Bay, St. Andrews Village, Spring Village at Wildewood, Live Oaks Village of Hammond and Slidell, Gables of Hudson and Sumter Place. The 2013 amount was comprised of the acquisitions of Woodbury Mews and Standish Village and capital expenditures related to existing properties which were offset by proceeds from the disposition of the investment in the Littleton Specialty Rehabilitation Facility.
37 |
Cash flows provided by financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were $142.3 million and $41.6 million, respectively. The change was due primarily to activity related to the KKR Equity Commitment and redemption of the Company’s common shares in 2014. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company received $75.1 million of net proceeds from the issuance of Series B Preferred Units, redeemed $10.6 million off its common shares, paid $5.8 million of distributions to stockholders, and paid $2.8 million of distributions to noncontrolling interests, principally to the investor in the Series B Preferred Units. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company received $15.1 million of net proceeds from the issuance of Series B Preferred Units, redeemed $2.0 million of its common shares, paid $6.2 million of distributions to stockholders, paid $1.2 million of distributions to noncontrolling interests and paid $4.1 million of fees and expenses in connection with the KKR Equity Commitment. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company received proceeds from notes payable related to the acquisitions of St. Andrews Village, Spring Village at Wildewood, Live Oaks Village of Hammond and Slidell, Gables of Hudson, and Sumter Place as well as the debt refinancing of Woodland Terrace at the Oaks and Mesa Vista Inn of $104.0 million. These proceeds were offset by the Company’s repayment of notes payable of $15.5 million. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company received proceeds, net of related costs of $15.1 million in connection with the KKR Equity Commitment, and proceeds from notes payable related to Woodbury Mews, Standish Village, and the refinance on Oakleaf in the amount of $55.9 million. These proceeds were offset by the Company’s repayment of notes payable of $19.5 million.
We expect to have sufficient cash available from cash on hand and operations to fund capital improvements and principal payments due on our borrowings in the next twelve months. We expect to fund stockholder distributions from cash on hand and from the excess of cash provided by operations over required capital improvements and debt payments. This excess may be insufficient to make distributions at the current level or at all.
There may be a delay between the generation of cash available for investment and the purchase of properties. During this period, proceeds from sales of securities may be temporarily invested in short-term, liquid investments that could yield lower returns than investments in real estate.
Potential future sources of capital include proceeds from future equity offerings, proceeds from secured or unsecured financings from banks or other lenders, proceeds from the sale of properties and undistributed funds from operations.
Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations
Funds from operations (“FFO”) is a non-GAAP financial measure that is widely recognized as a measure of REIT operating performance. We compute FFO in accordance with the definition outlined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) , and gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization on real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures, noncontrolling interests and subsidiaries. Our FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do. We believe that FFO is helpful to investors and our management as a measure of operating performance because it excludes depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions, and extraordinary items, and as a result, when compared year to year, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which is not immediately apparent from net income. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting alone to be insufficient. As a result, our management believes that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provide a more complete understanding of our performance. Factors that impact FFO include start-up costs, fixed costs, delay in buying assets, lower yields on cash held in accounts pending investment, income from portfolio properties and other portfolio assets, interest rates on acquisition financing and operating expenses. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), as an indication of our performance, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions, as well as dividend sustainability.
Changes in the accounting and reporting rules under GAAP have prompted a significant increase in the amount of non-cash and non-operating items included in FFO, as defined. Therefore, we use modified funds from operations (“MFFO”), which excludes from FFO real estate acquisition expenses, and non-cash amounts related to straight line rent to further evaluate our operating performance. We compute MFFO in accordance with the definition suggested by the Investment Program Association (the “IPA”), the trade association for direct investment programs (including non-listed REITs). However, certain adjustments included in the IPA’s definition are not applicable to us and are therefore not included in the foregoing definition.
We believe that MFFO is a helpful measure of operating performance because it excludes costs that management considers more reflective of investing activities or non-operating changes. Accordingly, we believe that MFFO can be a useful metric to assist management, investors and analysts in assessing the sustainability of our operating performance. As explained below, management’s evaluation of our operating performance excludes the items considered in the calculation based on the following considerations:
· | Adjustments for straight line rents. Under GAAP, rental income recognition can be significantly different than underlying contract terms. By adjusting for these items, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the economic impact of our lease terms and presents results in a manner more consistent with management’s analysis of our operating performance. |
· | Real estate acquisition costs. In evaluating investments in real estate, including both business combinations and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting, management’s investment models and analysis differentiate costs to acquire the investment from the operations derived from the investment. These acquisition costs have been funded from the proceeds of our initial public offering and other financing sources and not from operations. We believe by excluding expensed acquisition costs, MFFO provides useful supplemental information that is comparable for each type of our real estate investments and is consistent with management’s analysis of the investing and operating performance of our properties. Real estate acquisition expenses include those paid to our Advisor and to third parties. |
· | Non-recurring gains or losses included in net income from the extinguishment or sale of debt. |
38 |
· | Unrealized gains or losses resulting from consolidation from, or deconsolidation to equity accounting. |
FFO or MFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) nor as an indication of our liquidity. Nor is either indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions. Both FFO and MFFO should be reviewed along with other GAAP measurements. Our FFO and MFFO as presented may not be comparable to amounts calculated by other REITs. In addition, FFO and MFFO presented for different periods may not be directly comparable.
We believe that MFFO is helpful as a measure of operating performance because it excludes costs that management considers more reflective of investing activities or non-operating changes.

Election as a REIT
For federal income tax purposes, we have elected to be taxed as a REIT, under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) beginning with our taxable year ending December 31, 2008. Under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, we are not subject to federal income tax on income that we distribute to our stockholders. REITs are subject to numerous organizational and operational requirements in order to avoid taxation as a regular corporation, including a requirement that they generally distribute at least 90% of their annual ordinary taxable income to their stockholders. If we fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any year, our income will be taxed at regular corporate rates, and we may be precluded from qualifying for treatment as a REIT for the four-year period following our failure to qualify. Our failure to qualify as a REIT could result in us having a significant liability for taxes.
REIT status imposes limitations related to operating assisted-living properties. Generally, to qualify as a REIT, we cannot directly operate assisted-living facilities. However, such facilities may generally be operated by a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) pursuant to a lease with the REIT. Therefore, we have formed a TRS to lease any assisted-living properties we acquire and to operate the assisted-living properties pursuant to contracts with qualified unaffiliated management companies. The TRS and the REIT have made the applicable election for the TRS to qualify as a TRS. Under the management contracts, the unaffiliated management companies will have direct control of the daily operations of these assisted-living properties.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Other than outstanding notes payable on the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures, there are no off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements or obligations (including contingent obligations) that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
39 |
Inflation
Although the real estate market has not been affected significantly by inflation in the recent past due to the relatively low inflation rate, we expect that the majority of our tenant leases will include provisions that would protect us to some extent from the impact of inflation. Where possible, our leases will include provisions for rent escalations and partial reimbursement to us of expenses. Our ability to include provisions in the leases that protect us against inflation is subject to competitive conditions that vary from market to market.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We believe that our critical accounting policies are those that require significant judgments and estimates such as those related to fair value, real estate purchase price allocation, evaluation of possible impairment of real property assets, revenue recognition and valuation of receivables, income taxes, and uncertain tax positions. These estimates are made and evaluated on an on-going basis using information that is currently available as well as various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could vary from those estimates, perhaps in material adverse ways, and those estimates could be different under different assumptions or conditions.
Investments in Real Estate
Upon acquisition of a property, we allocate the purchase price of the property based upon the fair value of the assets acquired, which generally consist of land, buildings, site improvements, tenant improvements, intangible lease assets or liabilities including in-place leases, above market and below market leases, tenant relationships and goodwill. We allocated the purchase price to the fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property by valuing the property as if it were vacant. The value of the building and improvements are depreciated over an estimated useful life of 15 to 39 years.
In-place lease values are calculated based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with the respective tenant.
Acquired above and below market leases are valued based on the present value of the difference between prevailing market rates and the in-place rates over the remaining lease term. The value of acquired above and below market leases is amortized over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases as an adjustment to rental revenue on our consolidated statements of operations.
We consider any bargain periods in our calculation of fair value of below-market leases and to amortize our below-market leases over the remaining non-cancelable lease term plus any bargain renewal periods in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 840-20-20, as determined by our management at the time we acquire real property with an in-place lease. The renewal option rates for our acquired leases do not include any fixed rate options and, instead, contain renewal options that are based on fair value terms at the time of renewal. Accordingly, no fixed rate renewal options were included in the fair value of below-market leases acquired and the amortization period is based on the acquired non-cancelable lease term.
Should a significant tenant terminate their lease, the unamortized portion of intangible assets or liabilities is charged to revenue.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
FASB ASC 825-10, “Financial Instruments,” requires the disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized on the face of the balance sheet, for which it is practical to estimate that value.
Fair value represents the estimate of the proceeds to be received, or paid in the case of a liability, in a current transaction between willing parties. ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”) establishes a fair value hierarchy to categorize the inputs used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. Inputs are either observable or unobservable in the marketplace. Observable inputs are based on market data from independent sources and unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s assumptions about market participant assumptions used to value an asset or liability.
Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.
Level 2. Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3. Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified according to the lowest level input that is significant to their valuation. A financial instrument that has a significant unobservable input along with significant observable inputs may still be classified as a Level 3 instrument.
40 |
We generally determine or calculate the fair value of financial instruments using present value or other valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flow analyses, incorporating available market discount rate information for similar types of instruments and our estimates for non-performance and liquidity risk. These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate, credit spreads, and estimates of future cash flow.
Impairment of Real Estate Assets and Goodwill
Real Estate Assets
Rental properties, properties undergoing development and redevelopment, land held for development and intangibles are individually evaluated for impairment in accordance with ASC 360-10, “ Property, Plant & Equipment ” when conditions exist which may indicate that it is probable that the sum of expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount. We assess the expected undiscounted cash flows based upon numerous factors, including, but not limited to, appropriate capitalization rates, construction costs, available market information, historical operating results, known trends and market/economic conditions that may affect the property and our assumptions about the use of the asset, including, if necessary, a probability-weighted approach if multiple outcomes are under consideration. Upon determination that impairment has occurred, a write-down will be recorded to reduce the carrying amount to its estimated fair value.
In accordance with ASC 360 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets,” we assess whether there has been impairment in the value of our investments in real estate whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Our portfolio is evaluated for impairment on a property-by-property basis. Indicators of potential impairment include the following:
· | Change in strategy resulting in a decreased holding period; |
· | Decreased occupancy levels; |
· | Deterioration of the rental market as evidenced by rent decreases over numerous quarters; |
· | Properties adjacent to or located in the same submarket as those with recent impairment issues; and/or |
· | Tenant financial problems. |
During 2014, 2013 and 2012, we did not record any impairment charges related to our investments in real estate.
Goodwill
We review goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. The guidance on goodwill impairment requires us to annually test goodwill for impairment under a two-step impairment test or under a qualitative assessment which became optional in 2011. In the first step of the two-step test, we compare the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. We determine the fair value of our reporting unit based on the income approach. Under the income approach, we calculate the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to that unit, goodwill is not impaired. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the second step of the impairment test is performed in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then the company records an impairment loss equal to the difference.
For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company elected to perform Step 1 in its evaluation of goodwill. The Company did not record any impairment charges related to our goodwill.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when four basic criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been delivered, the amount of revenue is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. Leases with fixed annual rental escalators are generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial lease period, subject to a collectability assessment. Rental income related to leases with contingent rental escalators is generally recorded based on the contractual cash rental payments due for the period. Because our leases may provide for free rent, lease incentives, or other rental increases at specified intervals, we straight-line the recognition of revenue, which results in the recording of a receivable for rent not yet due under the lease terms. Our revenues are comprised largely of rental income and other income collected from tenants.
Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
We account for our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. We exercise significant influence, but do not control these entities or direct the activities that most significantly impact the venture’s performance. Investments in unconsolidated entities are recorded initially at cost and subsequently adjusted for cash contributions and distributions. We recognize our allocable share of the equity in earnings of our unconsolidated entities based on the respective venture’s structure and preferences.
41 |
Consolidation Considerations for Our Investments in Joint Ventures
ASC 810-10, “Consolidation,” addresses how a business enterprise should evaluate whether it has a controlling interest in an entity through means other than voting rights and, accordingly, should consolidate the entity. We analyze our joint ventures in accordance with this accounting standard to determine whether they are variable interest entities and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary. Our judgment with respect to our level of influence or control over an entity and whether we are the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity involves consideration of various factors including the form of our ownership interest, our voting interest, the size of our investment (including loans) and our ability to participate in major policy-making decisions. Our ability to correctly assess our influence or control over an entity affects the presentation of these investments in our consolidated financial statements. Please refer to Note 6, Investments in Unconsolidated Entities of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Income Taxes
As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, significant management judgment is required to evaluate our compliance with REIT requirements. Our determinations are based on interpretation of tax laws, and our conclusions may have an impact on the income tax expense recognized. Adjustments to income tax expense may be required as a result of: (i) audits conducted by federal and state tax authorities, (ii) our ability to qualify as a REIT and (iii) changes in tax laws.
For federal income tax purposes, we have elected to be taxed as a REIT, under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2008, which imposes limitations related to operating assisted-living properties. As of December 31, 2014, we had acquired fourteen assisted-living facilities and formed twenty-four wholly owned taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRSs, which includes a Master TRS that consolidates our wholly owned TRSs. The properties are operated pursuant to leases with our TRSs. Our TRSs have engaged qualified unaffiliated management companies to operate the assisted-living facilities. Under the management contracts, the managers have direct control of the daily operations of the properties.
We are subject to state and local income taxes in some jurisdictions, and in certain circumstances we may also be subject to federal excise taxes on undistributed income. In addition, certain of our activities must be conducted by subsidiaries which elect to be treated as TRSs. TRSs are subject to both federal and state income taxes. We recognize tax penalties relating to unrecognized tax benefits as additional tax expense. Interest relating to unrecognized tax benefits is recognized as interest expense. Under section 857(b), an excise tax of 100% is imposed on any excessive amount of rental income received by the REIT in connection with services performed by its TRS to a tenant of the REIT and the deductions of the TRS for payments made to the REIT if rental income and deductions are not at arms’ length. Several safe harbors are provided for rental income received by the REIT, any of which, if met, prohibit the imposition of the 100% excise tax.
Subsequent Events
Georgetown Loan
On January 15, 2015, the Company, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, originated a development loan in the amount of $41.9 million for The Delaney at Georgetown Village development project located in Georgetown, Texas (the “Georgetown Loan”). The borrower, Westminster-LCS Georgetown LLC, is not affiliated with the Company or the Advisor. The borrower is a joint venture between Life Care Companies, LLC (“LCS”) and a fund sponsored by Westminster Capital (“Westminster”), and will use the proceeds of the Georgetown Loan to develop a senior living facility with 207 units including independent living, assisted living and memory care.
The Georgetown Loan is secured by a first mortgage lien on the land, building, and all improvements made thereon. The Georgetown Loan matures on January 15, 2020 with one 12-month option to extend at the Company’s option, and bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.9% per annum for the term of the loan. Advances will be made periodically during the construction period to cover documented hard and soft costs of construction and interest, commencing after the borrower has expended its required equity contribution, and subject to customary construction draw conditions. The borrower paid a loan origination fee equal to 1% of the loan amount. Monthly payments are interest only for the term of the loan. The Company has the option to purchase the property at fair market value upon stabilization or 48 months. Fair market value is determined by the average asset value of independent appraisals obtained by the lender and borrower. Regardless of whether the Company exercises the option to purchase the property, the Company will be entitled to participate in the value creation which is the difference between the fair market value and the total development cost. The Georgetown Loan is non-recourse to LCS and Westminster, but LCS has provided cost and completion guarantees as well as a guaranty of customary “bad boy” carve-outs.
The Company expects to fund the Georgetown Loan with proceeds from the sale of Series B Preferred Units to the Investor. Upon funding of the Georgetown Loan, interest income on the loan receivable will be recognized as earned based upon the principal amount outstanding subject to an evaluation of collectability risks.
Sale of Preferred Units in the Operating Partnership
On January 16, 2015, a purchase of securities related to the Georgetown Loan (the “Georgetown Put Exercise”) was completed by the Investor pursuant to the KKR Equity Commitment.
Pursuant to the Georgetown Put Exercise, the Investor agreed to fund $41.9 million related to the Georgetown Loan and was issued the following securities:
42 |
· | 155,000 newly-issued Series B Preferred Units, which are convertible into approximately 1,546,906 shares of the Company’s common stock at the currently effective conversion price. |
After giving effect to the 155,000 Series B Preferred Units issued upon the closing of the Georgetown Put Exercise and the Series B Preferred Units relating to the Georgetown Put Exercise remaining to be issued, 220,580 Series B Preferred Units remain issuable under the Purchase Agreement.
Sumter Grand
On February 6, 2015, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, we acquired real estate property (“Sumter Grand”) from Retirement Two, LLC, which is not affiliated with us, for a purchase price of $31.5 million. Sumter Grand consists of a 150-unit independent living facility located in The Villages, Florida. We funded the purchase of Sumter Grand with proceeds from the sale to the Investor of Series B Preferred Units pursuant to the KKR Equity Commitment on December 30, 2014 and with proceeds from a mortgage loan from KeyBank National Association, Inc.
ITEM 7A. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive instruments. We invest our cash and cash equivalents in government backed securities and FDIC insured savings account which, by their nature, are subject to interest rate fluctuations. However, we believe that the primary market risk to which we will be exposed to is interest rate risk relating to the variable portion of our debt financing. As of December 31, 2014, we had approximately $120.0 million of variable rate debt, the majority of which is at a rate tied to short term LIBOR rates. A 1.0% change in 3-Month LIBOR would result in a change in annual interest expense of approximately $1.2 million per year. Our interest rate risk management objectives will be to monitor and manage the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows by using certain derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps and caps in order to mitigate our interest rate risk on variable rate debt. We will not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.
In addition to changes in interest rates, the fair value of our real estate is subject to fluctuations based on changes in the real estate capital markets, market rental rates for office space, local, regional and national economic conditions and changes in the credit worthiness of tenants. All of these factors may also affect our ability to refinance our debt if necessary.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street and Consumer Protection Act, which exempts non-accelerated filers from the auditor attestation requirement of Section 404 (b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Our board of directors amended our Second Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) as of March 20, 2015. The amendment is effective immediately.

Based solely upon our review of copies of these reports filed with the SEC and written representations furnished to us by our officers and directors, we believe that all of the persons subject to the Section 16(a) reporting requirements filed the required reports on a timely basis with respect to the year ended December 31, 2014.

Advisory Relationship with Sentio Investments
Throughout 2013 we were party to an Advisory Agreement with our external Advisor, Sentio Investments, LLC (referred to herein as our Advisor or “Sentio Investments”), which became effective on January 1, 2012 for a one year term ending December 31, 2012. The Advisory Agreement was renewed for additional one-year terms commencing on January 1, 2013, January 1, 2014, and January 1, 2015, however, as discussed below under the heading “Transition Agreement” certain provisions of the Advisory Agreement have been amended as a result of the execution on February 10, 2013 of a Transition to Internal Management Agreement which was subsequently amended in April 2014 and February 2015 (as amended, the “Transition Agreement”) with Sentio Investments.
John Mark Ramsey, our Chief Executive Officer, President and a member of our board of directors, is also the Chief Executive Officer and majority owner of Sentio Investments. Sharon Kaiser, our Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary, is also an executive officer and an employee of Sentio Investments.
Pursuant to the provisions of the Advisory Agreement, Sentio Investments, as Advisor, is responsible for managing, operating, directing and supervising the operation of our company and its assets. Generally, Sentio Investments is responsible for providing us with (i) property acquisition, disposition and financing services, (ii) asset management and operational services, including real estate services and financial and administrative services, (iii) stockholder services, and (iv) in the event we conduct a public offering of our securities, offering-related services. Sentio Investments is subject to the supervision and ultimate authority of our board of directors and has a fiduciary duty to our company and its stockholders.
The fees and expense reimbursements payable or paid to Sentio Investments under the Advisory Agreement, and subject to the terms of the Transition Agreement, as discussed below under the heading “Transition Agreement,” are described below.
Offering Stage Fees and Expenses:
· | If our board of directors determines that it is advisable and in our best interests to conduct an offering of our securities, Sentio Investments will be responsible for managing and supervising such offering activities and will be entitled to be reimbursed for organizational and offering costs paid by Sentio Investments on our behalf from the proceeds of such offering. Organizational and offering costs consist of all expenses (other than sales commissions and the dealer manager fees) to be paid by us in connection with our offerings, including our legal, accounting, printing, mailing and filing fees, charges of our escrow holder and other accountable offering expenses. However, Sentio Investments would be required to reimburse us to the extent that our organization and offering expenses are in excess of 15% of gross offering proceeds at the conclusion of such offering. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, Sentio Investments incurred no organization and offering expenses on our behalf. |
Acquisition and Operating Stage Fees and Expenses:
· | Subject to the limitation on fees agreed to in the Transition Agreement, we are obligated to pay Sentio Investments acquisition fees in an amount equal to 1.0% of the sum of the amount actually paid or allocated to the purchase, development, construction or improvement of an investment, inclusive of the acquisition expenses associated with such investment, and the amount of any debt attributable to such investment. With respect to acquisitions made through a joint venture in which the Company is a co-venturer, the acquisition fee payable to Sentio Investments will be equal to 1.0% of the Company’s allocable portion of the amount actually paid or allocated to the purchase, development, construction or improvement of the investment, inclusive of the acquisition expenses associated with such investment, and the Company’s allocable portion of any debt attributable to such investment. An acquisition fee will be payable to Sentio Investments at the time we acquire the related investment. In addition, we are required to reimburse Sentio Investments for direct costs Sentio Investments incurs and pays to third parties in connection with the selection and acquisition of potential investments, whether or not we ultimately acquire them. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, Sentio Investments earned approximately $0.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively, of acquisition fees from us and incurred no acquisition expenses on our behalf. |
52 |
· | We are not required to reimburse Sentio Investments or its affiliates for any of their costs or expenses that are not directly attributable to our business, including without limitation (i) any personnel costs incurred by Sentio Investments to its employees, and (ii) any costs related to Sentio Investments’ rent, utilities and general overhead. We are responsible for paying directly or reimbursing Sentio Investments for costs that are directly attributable to our business. |
· | Under the Advisory Agreement, Sentio Investments must restrict total operating expenses for the preceding four consecutive fiscal quarters, as determined at the end of each fiscal quarter, to the greater of 2% of the Company’s Average Invested Assets (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) or 25% of the Company’s net income for such period (the “2%/25% Guidelines”), unless the independent directors committee determines that a higher level of expenses is justified, based on unusual and non-recurring factors which it deems sufficient. If the independent directors committee does not approve such excess as being so justified, the Advisory Agreement and our charter require that any amount in excess of the 2%/25 Guidelines (an “Excess Amount”) paid to Sentio Investments during a fiscal quarter shall be repaid to us. For the four quarters ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2014, our management fees and expenses and operating expenses totaled $4.6 million and $5.8 million, respectively. These amounts did not exceed the greater of 2% of our average invested assets and 25% of our net income. |
· | Subject to compliance with the 2%/25% Guidelines and the limitation on fees agreed to in the Transition Agreement, we are obligated to pay Sentio Investments a financing coordination fee for services rendered by Sentio Investments in connection with the refinancing of any of our debt obligations in an amount equal to 0.5% of the gross amount of any such refinancing, provided however, that Sentio Investments will not be entitled to a financing coordination fee in connection with the refinancing of debt obligations secured by any particular asset that was subject to a refinancing in connection with which Sentio Investments received a financing coordination fee within the immediately preceding three year period. Any such financing coordination fee is payable to Sentio Investments upon the closing of the related refinancing. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, Sentio Investments earned approximately $0.1 million and $0.1 million of financing coordination fees from us, respectively. |
· | Subject to compliance with the 2%/25% Guidelines and the limitation on fees agreed to in the Transition Agreement, we are obligated to pay Sentio Investments a monthly asset management fee in an amount equal to one-twelfth of 1.0% of our assets under management, calculated on a monthly basis as of the last day of each month. Additionally, subject to compliance with the 2%/25% Guidelines and the limitation on fees agreed to in the Transition Agreement, with respect to fiscal quarters in which distributions declared to stockholders and cash available for distribution for such fiscal quarter are each at least $0.125 per share, we are also obligated to pay Sentio Investments a quarterly bonus asset management fee equal to the lesser of (i) one-fourth of 0.15% of our assets under management, calculated on a quarterly basis as of the last day of the quarter, or (ii) $150,000. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, Sentio Investments earned approximately $2.9 million and $4.1 million, respectively, of asset management fees from us. |
· | Subject to the limitation on fees agreed to in the Transition Agreement, if we retain Sentio Investments or one of its affiliates to manage or lease any of our properties, we will pay Sentio Investments or such affiliate a market-based fee in accordance with a separately negotiated property management, leasing and development agreement to be approved by the independent directors committee, which agreement may provide for fees similar to what other management or leasing companies generally charge for the management or leasing of similar properties, and which may include reimbursement for the costs and expenses Sentio Investments or its affiliates incurs in managing or leasing our properties. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, we did not pay any property management, leasing or development fees to Sentio Investments. |
53 |
Listing/ Liquidation Stage Fees and Expenses:
· | Subject to the limitation on fees agreed to in the Transition Agreement, if Sentio Investments or one of its affiliates provides a substantial amount of the services (as determined by a majority of our directors, including a majority of our independent directors committee) in connection with the sale of one or more of our properties, other than a sale in connection with a transaction in which we sell, grant, convey or relinquish our ownership of all or substantially all of our assets, we would be required to pay Sentio Investments or such affiliate at closing a disposition fee equal to the lesser of (i) 1.0% of the sales price of such property or properties, or (ii) one-half of the competitive real estate commission in light of the size, type and location of the property. The disposition fee may be paid in addition to real estate commissions paid to non-affiliates, provided that the total real estate commissions (including such disposition fee) paid to all persons by us for each property shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 6.0% of the aggregate contract sales price of each property or (ii) the competitive real estate commission for each property. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, Sentio Investments earned approximately $0.1 million and $0.0 million, respectively, of disposition fees from us. |
· | As described in further detail below under “Transition Agreement” under certain circumstances, Sentio Investments may be entitled to incentive fee amounts upon a listing or liquidation of the Company, or upon a termination of the Advisory Agreement. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, we did not pay any incentive fees to Sentio Investments related to listing or liquidation of the Company, or a termination of the Advisory Agreement. |
Fee Credit
Sentio Investments may advise other owners or prospective owners of assets in the healthcare sector and earn fees for such efforts. However, in the event that a third party owner contracts with Sentio Investments for the provision of advisory services, Sentio Investments will be required to reduce the fees that we pay pursuant to the Advisory Agreement as follows: (A) if the contractual fees to be paid by such third party owner to Sentio Investments are, on a percentage basis, greater than or equal to 90% of the corresponding or analogous fees charged to us, then Sentio Investments will reduce the amount of fees charged to us by a dollar amount equal to 50% of the corresponding or analogous fees actually paid to Sentio Investments by such third party owner; and (B) if the contractual fees to be paid by such third party owner to Sentio Investments are, on a percentage basis, less than 90% of the corresponding or analogous fees charged to us, then Sentio Investments will reduce the dollar amount of fees charged to us by an amount equal to 25% of the corresponding or analogous fees actually paid to Sentio Investments to such third party owner.
Term and Termination
The Advisory Agreement with Sentio Investments has a one-year term, which may be renewed for an unlimited number of successive one-year terms upon mutual consent of the parties. The Advisory Agreement may be terminated by us or by Sentio Investments without cause and without penalty upon 60 days written notice to the other party. Either party may terminate the agreement immediately in the event that the other party (i) commences bankruptcy or similar insolvency proceedings, or (ii) commits a material breach of the agreement which is not cured within 30 days after written notice from the non-breaching party, or which the non-breaching party reasonably determines cannot be cured within 30 days.
Transition Agreement
In connection with entering into the KKR Equity Commitment on February 10, 2013 (the “Commitment Effective Date”), we entered into the Transition Agreement with Sentio Investments and the Investor. The Transition Agreement sets forth the terms for our transition from our current externally-advised structure to an internal management structure. The Transition Agreement provides that the existing external advisory structure will remain in place upon substantially the same terms as currently in effect until February 10, 2017, subject to annual renewals of the Advisory Agreement in accordance with the requirements of the Company’s governing documents, at the end of which time the advisory function will be internalized in accordance with the Transition Agreement.
54 |
As noted above, Mr. Ramsey is the Chief Executive Officer and majority owner of Sentio Investments, and Ms. Kaiser is an executive officer and an employee of Sentio Investments.
The Transition Agreement limits the amount of the fees payable under our existing Advisory Agreement with Sentio Investments. Specifically, notwithstanding the provisions of the Advisory Agreement, acquisition fees, financing coordination fees, asset management fees, property management and leasing fees, and disposition fees payable under the Advisory Agreement are limited to an amount no more than (1) $3.2 million plus an excess amount of $3.2 million (the “Excess Fee Amount”) during the one-year period following the Commitment Effective Date, and (2) $3.2 million plus any remaining portion of the Excess Fee Amount during the period from the first to the second anniversary of the Commitment Effective Date. The maximum aggregate amount of such fees payable to the Advisor from the Commitment Effective Date through the second anniversary of the Commitment Effective Date under these limits was $9.6 million (the “Maximum Fee Amount”). Solely with respect to any fees earned by the Advisor during the period from the first to the second anniversary of the Commitment Effective Date in excess of the Maximum Fee Amount, such fees will be included in fees payable during the one-year period following the second anniversary of the Commitment Effective Date, subject to a maximum amount of $1.0 million. For the one-year period from the second to the third anniversary of the Commitment Effective Date, as well as for the one-year period from the third to the fourth anniversary of the Commitment Effective Date, the same limits will apply to the aggregate fees the Advisor can earn such that the aggregate amount of such fees payable to the Advisor from the second anniversary to the fourth anniversary of the Commitment Effective Date is equal to the Maximum Fee Amount.
The Transition Agreement also amends the Advisory Agreement to modify the terms of the subordinated incentive fees to which our Advisor may be entitled under certain circumstances. Specifically, the Transition Agreement provides for the following possible incentive amounts to be payable to our Advisor:
· | Subordinated Sales and Financings Promote. A subordinated sales and financings promote may be payable to the Advisor upon a distribution to holders of shares of our common stock outstanding as of the Commitment Effective Date (the “Legacy Common Shares”) resulting from a sale and financing of one or more of our assets, which will be determined and paid as an amount of shares of common stock equal to the ratio of: |
o | 10% of the amount, if any, by which (A) the sum of (i) the number of Legacy Common Shares times the per share cash distributions to the holders of the Legacy Common Shares in respect of cash from sales and financings, plus (ii) the total amount of all previous dividends or distributions paid on the Legacy Common Shares since the date of the inception of the Company’s initial public offering; exceeds (B) the sum of (x) the total invested capital for the Legacy Common Shares and (y) the amount required to pay stockholders a 7% cumulative, non-compounded return from inception of the Company’s initial public offering through the date of the closing of the applicable sale or financing on the Legacy Common Shares; |
over:
o | the net asset value per share of common stock as of the closing of the applicable sale or financing (as defined in the Transition Agreement). |
However, if the subordinated sales and financings promote is payable as the result of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, then the promote will be paid in cash rather than shares of common stock.
· | Subordinated Internalization Promote. In connection with a termination of the Advisory Agreement upon consummation of an internalization, the Advisor may be entitled to a subordinated internalization promote determined and paid on the third anniversary of the Commitment Effective Date (unless delayed in accordance with the Transition Agreement), in an amount consisting of the sum of: |
o | a cash payment equal to 40% of: |
55 |
§ | 10% of the amount, if any, by which (A) the sum of (i) the number of Legacy Common Shares times the per share net asset value on the determination date, plus (ii) the total amount of dividends or distributions paid on the Legacy Common Shares from date from inception of the Company’s initial public offering through the determination date; exceeds (B) the sum of (x) the total invested capital for the Legacy Common Shares and (y) the amount required to pay stockholders a 7% cumulative, non-compounded return from inception of the Company’s initial public offering through the determination date on the Legacy Common Shares (such amount, the “Subordinated Internalization Cash Amount”); and |
an amount of shares of common stock equal to the ratio of:
§ | 60% of the Subordinated Internalization Cash Amount; |
over:
§ | the net asset value per share of common stock as of the determination date (as defined in the Transition Agreement). |
However, in the event the common stock is listed on a national stock exchange as of the determination date, the amount of the subordinated internalization promote will be determined by reference to the market value of a share of common stock (as defined in the Transition Agreement), rather than the net asset value. Furthermore, the amount of the subordinated internalization promote will be reduced by the amount of any subordinated sales and financings promote previously earned by our Advisor.
· | Subordinated Performance Fee Due Upon Termination. If (1) we terminate the Advisory Agreement prior to an internalization for any reason other than a material breach by the Advisor, (2) the Advisory Agreement is not renewed (other than in connection with an internalization) because we are unwilling to renew the agreement on substantially similar terms, or (3) the Advisor terminates the Advisory Agreement prior to an internalization because of a material breach by us, then, we will pay the Advisor a subordinated performance fee due upon termination, payable in the form of a promissory note bearing simple interest at a rate of 5% per annum, in a principal amount equal to: |
o | 10% the amount, if any, by which (A) the sum of (i) the product of the Legacy Common Shares times the per share net asset value at the termination date and (ii) total distributions (excluding any stock dividend and distributions paid on shares of common stock redeemed by the Company) paid on the Legacy Common Shares through the termination date, exceeds (B) the sum of (i) the total invested capital for the Legacy Common Shares and (ii) the total distributions required to be made to the Legacy Common Shares in order to pay stockholders a 7% cumulative, non-compounded return from inception of the Company’s initial public offering through the termination date; |
o | less any prior payment to our Advisor of a subordinated sales and financings promote. |
Upon the internalization date established pursuant to the Transition Agreement, we will acquire all of the Advisor’s assets that are reasonably necessary for the management and operation of our business (we refer to such a transaction as an internalization). On or prior to the internalization date, our Advisor will facilitate our efforts to hire the employees of the Advisor. With respect to certain key persons, we will be required to enter into employment agreements based upon market terms established in consultation with an independent compensation consultant. The Investor will have the right to consent to our hiring of all key personnel. Upon an internalization or a Liquidation Event (as defined in the investor rights agreement entered in connection with the KKR Equity Commitment), then our Advisor will receive a fee in an amount that is the lesser of (i) $4.0 million or $3.0 million (depending on when the event occurs), and (ii) the remaining portion of the $9.6 million maximum fee amount, if any, not previously paid to our Advisor.
In connection with entering into the Transition Agreement, we and our Advisor have generally agreed not to terminate the Advisory Agreement without the prior consent of the Investor.

KKR Equity Commitment
Pursuant to the KKR Equity Commitment, we may issue and sell to the Investor and its affiliates on a private placement basis from time to time over a period of three years, up to $158.7 million in aggregate issuance amount of shares of newly issued Series C Preferred Stock and newly issued Series B Preferred Units of our operating partnership. The terms of the KKR Equity Commitment and the related agreements and securities are described in detail in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 12, 2013.
Billy Butcher, who has served as one of our directors since March 12, 2013 and was elected to be one of our directors in connection with, and as a condition to, the execution of KKR Equity Commitment is an executive officer of Sentinel RE Investment Holdings GP LLC, which is the general partner of the Investor. Mr. Butcher is also employed by KKR as a Director in its Real Estate business.
Daniel Decker who has also served as one of our directors since March 12, 2013 and was elected to be one of our directors in connection with, and as a condition to, the execution of KKR Equity Commitment. Mr. Decker is associated with the Investor and KKR. Mr. Decker, through an entity that he owns, is a co-investor with the Investor in us in connection with the KKR Equity Commitment.
As a result of the transactions contemplated by the KKR Equity Commitment, the Investor currently beneficially owns an aggregate of 10,993,613 shares of common stock of the Company, which represent, in the aggregate, approximately, 48.9% of the outstanding shares of common stock.
Amendments to Securities Purchase Agreement
Effective April 8, 2014, the Securities Purchase Agreement was amended to allow the operating partnership to issue up to $29 million of additional Series B Preferred Units to the Investor for the purpose of funding a repurchase of the Company’s stock under the tender offer discussed below under the heading “Tender Offer” (the “Second Amendment Agreement”). As a result of the Second Amendment Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement was also amended to delay and potentially reduce the unused capital fee payable by the Company to the Investor during the first year of the term of the Securities Purchase Agreement, depending on the success of the tender offer.
On December 22, 2014, the Securities Purchase Agreement was amended again (the “Third Amendment Agreement”) to permit us to use the KKR Equity Commitment to finance the origination and funding of non-recourse loans to third-party borrowers for the development, construction and leasing of health care properties (each a “Construction Loan”). Previously, the KKR Equity Commitment only contemplated the financing of real estate acquisitions.
Pursuant to the Third Amendment Agreement, the procedures for the delivery and review of a put exercise notice were revised to account for the potential financing by the Company, via the KKR Equity Commitment, of a Construction Loan. Under the Third Amendment Agreement, we may deliver a put exercise notice related to a Construction Loan (a “Construction Loan Put Exercise”) that the Investor may then approve or disapprove in its discretion. If the Investor accepts the Construction Loan Put Exercise, the Investor is then committed to fund the full put exercise amount included in the related notice. However, the Investor shall fund the put exercise amount in installments (commencing on the closing of the Construction Loan Put Exercise) pursuant to a draw schedule provided by us, which draw schedule we may adjust by no more than 10% without further approval by the Investor. Notwithstanding the fact that at the closing of the Construction Loan Put Exercise the Investor will not contribute cash to the operating partnership in the full put exercise amount, the operating partnership will issue Series B Preferred Units to the Investor in an amount that reflects the full amount of the Construction Loan Put Exercise. In the event the Company experiences a liquidation event (as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement), the Investor is required to immediately advance to us all Construction Loan Put Exercise amounts remaining to be funded. Finally, the term of the Securities Purchase Agreement was revised to provide that if the draw schedule of a Construction Loan Put Exercise extends beyond the initially contemplated term of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement shall continue, solely with respect to the obligation of the Investor to continue funding amounts under a Construction Loan Put Exercise and any rights and obligations of the parties with respect thereto, beyond the initially contemplated term and shall terminate automatically on the date the unfunded amount of a Construction Loan Put Exercise equals zero dollars.

Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Operating Partnership Agreement
On December 22, 2014, the Company, HPC LP TRS, LLC and the Investor entered the First Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement (the “Partnership Amendment”) to revise certain terms of the Series B Preferred Units included in the Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement to be consistent with the changes effected in the Third Amendment Agreement.
Pursuant to the Partnership Amendment, any Series B Preferred Units issued in connection with a Construction Loan Put Exercise related to the Georgetown transaction would receive cash distributions at a reduced annual rate equal to 6.0% in preference to any distributions paid to common units. In addition, in consideration of the fact that at any closing of a Construction Loan Put Exercise, the operating partnership will issue Series B Preferred Units in the full amount of the exercise put amount committed by the Investor notwithstanding the fact that the Investor will contribute the cash to the operating partnership in installments pursuant to a draw schedule as described above, the preferred return for a Construction Loan Put Exercise will be calculated based solely on the exercise put amount related to the Construction Loan Put Exercise that has been funded as opposed to the full amount of Series B Preferred Units outstanding. The Partnership Amendment further adjusts the “catch-up” return common stockholders must receive to a weighted average of 7.5% and 6.0% to account for the different rate of return on any Series B Preferred Units issued in connection with a Construction Loan Put Exercise for the Georgetown transaction. For additional information regarding the Georgetown Transaction see below under the heading “Georgetown Transaction.”
The Partnership Amendment also permits the operating partnership to engage in a sale of the assets or equity of the operating partnership without the consent of the Investor, which would otherwise be required under the Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement, provided the following conditions are met: (i) the sale is cash only, and (ii) the Company or the operating partnership, as applicable, has issued to the Investor $100,000 in aggregate liquidation preference amount of Series C Preferred Shares and $149,900,000 in aggregate liquidation preference amount of Series B Preferred Units. Finally, the Partnership Amendment requires prior Investor approval for any material changes to the transaction documents related to the Georgetown transaction.
Amendment to Investor Rights Agreement
On December 22, 2014, the Company and the Investor entered into the First Amendment to Investor Rights Agreement to amend the Investor Rights Agreement to permit the Company to engage in a sale of the assets or equity of the operating partnership and the Company without the consent of the Investor, which would otherwise be required under the Investor Rights Agreement, provided the following conditions are met: (i) the sale is cash only, and (ii) the Company or the operating partnership, as applicable, has issued to the Investor $100,000 in aggregate liquidation preference amount of Series C Preferred Shares and $149,900,000 in aggregate liquidation preference amount of Series B Preferred Units.
Real Estate Acquisitions
On October 18, 2013, in connection with our acquisition of the Woodbury Mews property in Woodbury, New Jersey, the Investor completed the first put exercise under the KKR Equity Commitment, purchasing 1,000 shares of newly issued Series C Preferred Stock and 142,000 newly-issued Series B Preferred Units in our operating partnership for an aggregate purchase price of $14.3 million. In addition, on December 5, 2013, in connection with our acquisition of an interest in the Standish Village property in Dorchester, Massachusetts the Investor completed a second put exercise under the KKR Equity Commitment, purchasing 51,000 newly-issued Series B Preferred Units for an aggregate purchase price of $5.1 million.
58 |
On April 4, 2014, in connection with our acquisition of an interest in the Compass on the Bay property in Boston, Massachusetts the Investor completed a put exercise under the KKR Equity Commitment, purchasing 54,000 newly-issued Series B Preferred Units for an aggregate purchase price of $5.4 million. On August 13, 2014, in connection with our acquisition of the St. Andrew’s Village property in Aurora, Colorado, the Investor completed a put exercise under the KKR Equity Commitment, purchasing 127,310 newly-issued Series B Preferred Units for an aggregate purchase price of $12.7 million. On November 14, 2014, in connection with our acquisition of the Wildewood property in California, Maryland and the Live Oaks Portfolio in Louisiana, the Investor completed a put exercise under the KKR Equity Commitment, purchasing 86,710 newly-issued Series B Preferred Units for an aggregate purchase price of $8.67 million. On December 15, 2014, in connection with our acquisition of the Gables Portfolio in Ohio, the Investor completed a put exercise under the KKR Equity Commitment, purchasing 56,880 newly-issued Series B Preferred Units for an aggregate purchase price of $5.69 million. On December 30, 2014, in connection with our acquisition of the Sumter Place and Sumter Grand properties in The Villages, Florida, the Investor completed a put exercise under the KKR Equity Commitment, purchasing 341,400 newly-issued Series B Preferred Units for an aggregate purchase price of $34.1 million.
Tender Offer
On April 10, 2014, we announced the commencement of an issuer tender offer to purchase for cash up to $35 million of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock from stockholders at a price of $8.50 per share. On May 22, 2014, we amended the tender offer to increase the purchase price to $9.00 per share and to extend the tender offer expiration date. The tender offer expired on June 12, 2014. We purchased 1,113,213 shares of our common stock pursuant to the tender offer for an aggregate cost of approximately $10.0 million, excluding fees and expenses related to the tender offer paid by the Company. The tender offer was funded by a sale of 87,260 newly-issued Series B Preferred Units to the Investor for an aggregate purchase price of $8.7 million on June 18, 2014, and the remainder from the Company’s existing cash.
Georgetown Transaction
On January 15, 2015, we originated a development loan in the amount of $41.9 million for The Delaney at Georgetown Village development project located in Georgetown, Texas (the “Georgetown Loan”). On January 16, 2015, in connection with our origination of the Georgetown Loan, the Investor completed a put exercise under the KKR Equity Commitment, purchasing 155,000 newly-issued Series B Preferred Units for an aggregate purchase price of $41.9 million (the “Georgetown Put Exercise”). On January 16, 2015, we entered a letter agreement with the Investor (the “Letter Agreement”) to divide the issuance of Series B Preferred Units related to the Georgetown Put Exercise into two issuances in recognition of the fact that if Series B Preferred Units were issued for the full Georgetown Put Exercise amount of $41.9 million certain “change-of-control” provisions would be triggered in our loan documents, which, without consents from the lenders thereto, would have caused us to be in default under such loan documents.
After giving effect to the 155,000 Series B Preferred Units issued upon the closing of the Georgetown Put Exercise and the Series B Preferred Units relating to the Georgetown Put Exercise remaining to be issued pursuant to the Letter Agreement, 220,580 Series B Preferred Units remained issuable under the Securities Purchase Agreement. The obligation of the Investor to purchase additional Series B Preferred Units under the Securities Purchase Agreement is conditioned upon, among other things, the receipt of notice from us of the intention to sell a specified amount of securities to the Investor to finance a proposed real estate acquisition or construction loan.
Policy regarding Transactions with Affiliates
Our charter requires our independent directors committee to review and approve all transactions involving our affiliates and us. Prior to entering into a transaction with an affiliate that is not covered by our Advisory Agreement with our Advisor, a majority of the independent directors committee must conclude that the transaction is fair and reasonable to us and on terms and conditions not less favorable to us than those available from unaffiliated third parties. Furthermore, our independent directors committee must review at least annually our fees and expenses to determine that the expenses incurred are reasonable in light of our investment performance, our net asset value, our net income and the fees and expenses of other comparable unaffiliated REITs. In addition, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics sets forth examples of types of transactions with related parties that would create conflicts of interest between the interests of our stockholders and the private interests of the parties involved in such transactions. Our directors and officers are required to take all reasonable action to avoid such conflicts of interest or the appearance of conflicts of interest. If a conflict of interest becomes unavoidable, our directors and officers are required to report the conflict to a designated ethics contact, which, depending on the circumstances of the transaction, would be either our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, or the chairman of our audit committee. The appropriate ethics contact is then responsible for working with the reporting director or officer to monitor and resolve the conflict of interest in accordance with our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.
59 |
Director Independence
Our charter contains detailed criteria for determining the independence of our directors and requires a majority of the members of our board of directors to qualify as independent. The board of directors consults with our legal counsel to ensure that the board’s independence determinations are consistent with our charter and applicable securities and other laws and regulations. Consistent with these considerations, after review of all relevant transactions or relationships between each director, or any of his family members, and Sentio Healthcare Properties, our senior management and our independent registered public accounting firm, the board of directors has determined that Romeo Cefalo, Barry Chase, Steven Pearson, Ronald Shuck and James Skorheim are independent, and consequently the majority of our board of directors is comprised of independent directors. In addition, Mr. William Bloomer, who served as a director until his resignation in May 2014 was also independent. Furthermore, although our shares are not listed on a national securities exchange, a majority of the members of our board of directors, and all of the members of our audit committee, independent directors committee and compensation committee are independent under the rules of the NASDAQ stock market.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Sentio Healthcare Properties, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sentio Healthcare Properties, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2014. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited financial statement schedule III. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule III based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sentio Healthcare Properties, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2014, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule III, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

SENTIO HEALTHCARE PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Years Ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012
1. Organization
Sentio Healthcare Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation, was formed on October 16, 2006 under the Maryland General Corporation Law for the purpose of engaging in the business of investing in and owning commercial real estate. As used in this report, the “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Sentio Healthcare Properties, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, except where context otherwise requires. Effective January 1, 2012, subject to certain restrictions and limitations, our business is managed by Sentio Investments, LLC, a Florida limited liability company that was formed on December 20, 2011 (the “Advisor”). Prior to January 1, 2012, we were externally advised by Cornerstone Leveraged Realty Advisors, LLC.
Sentio Healthcare Properties OP, LP., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), was formed on October 17, 2006. At December 31, 2014, we owned 100% of the outstanding common units in the Operating Partnership and the HC Operating Partnership, LP, a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership. Pursuant to the terms of the KKR Equity Commitment (as described in Note 2), we have issued Series B Convertible Preferred Units in the Operating Partnership (“Series B Preferred Units”) to the Investor (as described in Note 2), the terms of which provide that the Investor may convert its preferred units into common units in its discretion. On an as-converted basis, the Investor owns 45% and we own the remaining interest in the Operating Partnership and the HC Operating Partnership, LP. We anticipate that we will conduct all or a portion of our operations through the Operating Partnership. Our financial statements and the financial statements of the Operating Partnership are consolidated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
2. Equity Issuances
Our charter authorizes the issuance of up to 580,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.01 per share and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.01 per share.
From June 2008 until May 2011, we conducted public offerings of our shares of common stock. Our initial public offering terminated on February 3, 2011, immediately prior to commencement of our follow-on public offering on February 4, 2011. As of December 31, 2014, we had sold a total of 12.7 million shares of our common stock pursuant to our initial and follow-on public offerings for aggregate gross proceeds of $127.0 million.
On February 10, 2013, we entered into a series of agreements, which have been amended at various times after February 10, 2013, with the Sentinel RE Investment Holdings LP (the “Investor”), an affiliate of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (together with its affiliates, “KKR”) for the purpose of obtaining up to a $158.7 million equity commitment to be used to finance future investment opportunities (such investment and the related agreements, are referred to herein collectively as the “KKR Equity Commitment”). Pursuant to the KKR Equity Commitment, the Company authorized and issued 1,000 shares of Senior Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series C, $0.01 par value per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), representing an aggregate issuance amount of $100,000. The Operating Partnership may issue Series B Preferred Units up to an aggregate issuance amount of $158.6 million. Subject to certain limitations, the Series B Preferred Units may be converted into common stock of the Company. The obligations of KKR to fund and of the Company to draw funds under the KKR Equity Commitment are subject to various conditions, limitations and penalties.
On June 19, 2013, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 to register up to $99,000,000 of shares of common stock to be offered to our existing stockholders pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. The distribution reinvestment plan offering shares were initially offered at a purchase price of $10.02 per share, which was the then-current estimated per-share value of our common stock. Effective February 28, 2014, the distribution reinvestment plan offering shares are being offered at a purchase price of $11.63 per share, which is our updated estimated per-share value of our common stock as of February 28, 2014. As of December 31, 2014, we had sold a total of 583,611 shares of our common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan offering for aggregate gross proceeds of $5.6 million.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding our consolidated financial statements. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, in all material respects, and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
68 |
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash represents cash held in interest bearing accounts and amounts related to impound reserve accounts for property taxes and insurance as required under the terms of mortgage loan agreements. Based on the intended use of the restricted cash, we have classified changes in restricted cash within the statements of cash flows as operating or investing activities.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In accordance with the guidance for the consolidation of variable interest entities (“VIEs”), we analyze our variable interests, including investments in partnerships and joint ventures, to determine if the entity in which we have a variable interest is a variable interest entity. Our analysis includes both quantitative and qualitative reviews, based on our review of the design of the entity, its organizational structure including decision-making ability, risk and reward sharing experience and financial condition of other partner(s), voting rights, involvement in day-to-day capital and operating decisions and financial agreements. We also use quantitative and qualitative analyses to determine if we must consolidate a variable interest entity as the primary beneficiary.
Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
We account for our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. We exercise significant influence, but do not control these entities or direct the activities that most significantly impact the venture’s performance. Investments in unconsolidated entities are recorded initially at cost and subsequently adjusted for cash contributions and distributions. We recognize our allocable share of the equity in earnings of our unconsolidated entities based on the respective venture’s structure and preferences.
Real Estate Purchase Price Allocation
We allocate the purchase price of our properties in accordance with ASC 805-10, “Business Combinations.” Upon acquisition of a property, we allocate the purchase price of the property based upon the fair value of the assets acquired, which generally consist of land, buildings, site improvements, tenant improvements, intangible lease assets or liabilities including in-place leases, above market and below market leases, tenant relationships and goodwill. We allocated the purchase price to the fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property by valuing the property as if it were vacant. We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our depreciable assets. We consider the period of future benefit of the asset to determine the appropriate useful lives. Depreciation of our assets is being charged to expense on a straight-line basis over the assigned useful lives. The value of the building and improvements are depreciated over an estimated useful life of 15 to 39 years.
In-place lease values are calculated based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with the respective tenant.
Acquired above and below market leases are valued based on the present value of the difference between prevailing market rates and the in-place rates over the remaining lease term. The value of acquired above and below market leases is amortized over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases as an adjustment to rental revenue on our consolidated statements of operations.
We amortize the value of in-place leases and above and below market leases over the initial term of the respective leases. Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the tenant improvements, intangible lease assets or liabilities and the in-place lease value will be immediately charged to expense.
Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of identifiable net assets of the business acquired.
Impairment of Real Estate Assets and Goodwill
Real Estate Assets
We assess whether there has been impairment in the value of our investments in real estate whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Our portfolio is evaluated for impairment on a property-by-property basis. Indicators of potential impairment include the following:
· | Change in strategy resulting in a decreased holding period; |
· | Decreased occupancy levels; |
· | Deterioration of the rental market as evidenced by rent decreases over numerous quarters; |
69 |
· | Properties adjacent to or located in the same submarket as those with recent impairment issues; and/or |
· | Tenant financial problems. |
During 2014, 2013 and 2012, we did not record any impairment charges related to our investments in real estate. The assessment as to whether our investments in real estate are impaired is highly subjective. The calculations, which are primarily based on discounted cash flow analyses, involve management’s best estimate of the holding period, market comparables, future occupancy levels, rental rates, capitalization rates, lease-up periods and capital requirements for each property. A change in any one or more of these factors could materially impact whether a property is impaired as of any given valuation date.
Goodwill
We review goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. The guidance on goodwill impairment requires us to annually test goodwill for impairment under a two-step impairment test or under a qualitative assessment which became optional in 2011. In Step 1 of the two-step test, we compare the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. We determine the fair value of our reporting unit based on the income approach. Under the income approach, we calculate the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to that unit, goodwill is not impaired. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the second step of the impairment test is performed in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then the company records an impairment loss equal to the difference.
For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company performed Step 1 in its evaluation of goodwill. The Company did not record any impairment charges related to our goodwill.
Income Taxes
For federal income tax purposes, we have elected to be taxed as a REIT, under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2008, which imposes limitations related to operating assisted-living properties.
Each taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) is a tax paying component for purposes of classifying deferred tax assets and liabilities. We record net deferred tax assets to the extent we believe these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In the event we were to determine that we would not be able to realize our deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance which would reduce the provision for income taxes.
Uncertain Tax Positions
In accordance with the requirements of ASC 740-10, “Income Taxes,” favorable tax positions are included in the calculation of tax liabilities if it is more likely than not that the Company’s adopted tax position will prevail if challenged by tax authorities. As a result of our REIT status, we are able to claim a dividends-paid deduction on our tax return to deduct the full amount of common dividends paid to stockholders when computing our annual taxable income. A REIT is subject to a 100% tax on the net income from prohibited transactions. A “prohibited transaction” is the sale or other disposition of property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business. There is a safe harbor which, if met, expressly prevents the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) from asserting the prohibited transaction test. As we have not had any sales of properties to date, the prohibited transaction tax is not applicable. We have no income tax expense, deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities associated with any such uncertain tax positions for the operations of any entity included in the consolidated results of operations.
Tenant and Other Receivables
Tenant and other receivables are comprised of rental and reimbursement billings due from tenants. Tenant receivables are recorded at the original amount earned, less an allowance for any doubtful accounts. Management assesses the realizability of tenant receivables on an ongoing tenant by tenant basis and provides for allowances as such balances, or portions thereof, become uncollectible. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 provisions for bad debts amounted to approximately $276,000 and $50,000, respectively. The allowance for tenant receivables is included in property operating and maintenance expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Deferred Financing Costs
Costs incurred in connection with debt financing are recorded as deferred financing costs. Deferred financing costs are amortized using a method which approximates the effective interest rate method over the contractual terms of the respective financings.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when four basic criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the rendering of service, fixed and determinable income and reasonably assured collectability. Leases with fixed annual rental escalators are generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial lease period, subject to a collectability assessment. Rental income related to leases with contingent rental escalators is generally recorded based on the contractual cash rental payments due for the period. Because our leases may provide for free rent, lease incentives, or other rental increases at specified intervals, we straight-line the recognition of revenue, which results in the recording of a receivable for rent not yet due under the lease terms. Our revenues are comprised largely of rental income and other income collected from tenants.
70 |
Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Subsidiaries
Noncontrolling interests include the portion of consolidated entities that are not owned by the Company, and the KKR net investment of $94.7 million in Series B Preferred Units. The Series B Preferred Units have a liquidation preference that is determined as the greater of: (i) $ 100 per unit, plus accrued and unpaid distributions or (ii) the distribution that would be made on number of common shares into which shares of Series B Preferred Units could be converted.
ASC 810-10-65 Consolidation clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. ASC 810-10-65 also requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest and requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statement of income, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest.
We periodically evaluate individual noncontrolling interests for the ability to continue to recognize the noncontrolling interest as permanent equity in the consolidated balance sheets. Any noncontrolling interest that fails to qualify as permanent equity will be reclassified as temporary equity and adjusted to the greater of (a) the carrying amount, or (b) its redemption value as of the end of the period in which the determination is made.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
FASB ASC 825-10, “Financial Instruments,” requires the disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized on the face of the balance sheet, for which it is practical to estimate that value.
Fair value represents the estimate of the proceeds to be received, or paid in the case of a liability, in a current transaction between willing parties. ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement establishes a fair value hierarchy to categorize the inputs used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. Inputs are either observable or unobservable in the marketplace. Observable inputs are based on market data from independent sources and unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s assumptions about market participant assumptions used to value an asset or liability.
Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.
Level 2. Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3. Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified according to the lowest level input that is significant to their valuation. A financial instrument that has a significant unobservable input along with significant observable inputs may still be classified as a Level 3 instrument.
We generally determine or calculate the fair value of financial instruments using present value or other valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flow analyses, incorporating available market discount rate information for similar types of instruments and our estimates for non-performance and liquidity risk. These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate, credit spreads, and estimates of future cash flow.
Our balance sheets include the following financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, tenant and other receivables, restricted cash, security deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, distributions payable, and notes payable. With the exception of notes payable, we consider the carrying values of our financial instruments to approximate fair value because they generally expose the Company to limited credit risk and because of the short period of time between origination of the financial assets and liabilities and their expected settlement.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
New Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”). The standard is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires revenue to be recognized in a manner to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. Accordingly, the standard is effective for us on January 1, 2017. We are currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard.

Payments on the loan are due monthly and consist of accrued interest-only during the initial 48 months, and the remaining payments will consist of interest plus principal amortization payments based upon a 25-year amortization schedule.
On November 26, 2013, the Company completed a refinancing of the Oakleaf Village Portfolio. Proceeds from the refinancing of $20.0 million exceeded the debt repaid and loan fees and expenses by approximately $2.0 million. The loan is secured by first priority liens on the refinanced properties. The loan has a five-year term with the rate of interest fixed at 4.0% and payments of principal on a 25-year amortization rate. In connection with the closing of the loan, the Company recognized a loss on debt extinguishment in the amount of $0.4 million, which is included in loss on debt extinguishment and other expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
On October 21, 2013, in connection with our acquisition of Woodbury Mews, we entered into a mortgage agreement with KeyBank with an outstanding principal balance of approximately $25.0 million, which is secured by Woodbury Mews. The loan had an initial term of twelve months with two twelve-month extensions available assuming certain criteria are met, and bears interest at a rate of one month LIBOR plus 3.0%. Payments on the loans are due monthly and consist of accrued interest-only during the initial term. If the extension option is exercised, payments will consist of interest plus principal amortization payments based upon a 25-year amortization schedule. This loan has been extended for an additional twelve month term.
We are required by the terms of the applicable loan documents to meet certain financial covenants, such as debt service coverage ratios, rent coverage ratios and reporting requirements. As of December 31, 2014, we were in compliance with all such covenants and requirements, with the exception of Woodbury Mews.
At December 31, 2014, the average Woodbury Mews occupancy was below the minimum loan requirement, violating a covenant of this loan. Our lender has waived compliance with this covenant for the quarter ended December 31, 2014. In the event that the Company is not in compliance with this covenant in future periods and is unable to obtain a consent or waiver, KeyBank may choose to pursue remedies under the loan which could include foreclosure of the Woodbury Mews Property and enforcement of the Company’s guarantee of up to 25% of the loan balance.

9. Concentration of Risks
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk are primarily cash investments; cash is generally invested in investment-grade short-term instruments. As of December 31, 2014, we had cash accounts in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits.
Concentrations of credit risks arise when a number of operators, tenants or obligors related to our investments are engaged in similar business activities, located in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations, including those to the Company, to be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions. We regularly monitor various segments of our portfolio to assess potential concentration of risks. Management believes the current portfolio is reasonably diversified across healthcare-related real estate and does not contain any other significant concentration of credit risks, except as presented below.
For the year ended December 31, 2014, the senior living segment generated 89% of the Company’s total revenues. Included in the senior living segment, we owned or had joint venture interests in properties in 13 states of which the properties in five states accounted for 10% or more of our total revenue. The following table provides information about our geographic risk related to each of the five states and their economies for the three years ended December 31, 2014:
Percentage of Total Revenues | ||||||||||||
State | December 31, 2014 | December 31, 2013 | December 31, 2012 | |||||||||

New Jersey | 11% | 3% | 0% | |||||||||
South Carolina | 10% | 12% | 15% | |||||||||
Pennsylvania | 10% | 11% | 14% |
The Company utilizes third-party operators to provide property management and accounting services for our senior living operations, for which we pay annual management fees. As operators, the Company is not directly exposed to their credit risk. However, we rely on our operators to operate our senior housing operations in compliance with the terms of our management agreements and all applicable laws and regulations. The operators’ inability to satisfy their obligations under the management agreements could have a material adverse effect on us.

10. Segment Reporting
As of December 31, 2014, we operated in three reportable business segments for management and internal financial reporting purposes: senior living operations, triple-net leased properties, and medical office building (“MOB”) properties. These operating segments are the segments of the Company for which separate financial information is available and for which segment results are evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our senior living operations segment primarily consists of investments in senior housing communities located in the United States for which we engage independent third-party managers. Our triple-net leased properties segment consists of investments in skilled nursing and hospital facilities in the United States. These facilities are leased to healthcare operating companies under long-term “triple-net” or “absolute-net” leases, which require the tenants to pay all property-related expenses. Our MOB operations segment primarily consists of investing in medical office buildings and leasing those properties to healthcare providers under long-term leases, which may require tenants to pay property-related expenses.
78 |
We evaluate performance of the combined properties in each segment based on net operating income. Net operating income is defined as total revenue less property operating and maintenance expenses. There are no intersegment sales or transfers. We use net operating income to evaluate the operating performance of our real estate investments and to make decisions concerning the operation of the property. We believe that net operating income is useful to investors in understanding the value of income-producing real estate. Net income is the GAAP measure that is most directly comparable to net operating income; however, net operating income should not be considered as an alternative to net income as the primary indicator of operating performance as it excludes certain items such as depreciation and amortization, asset management fees and expenses, real estate acquisition costs, interest expense and corporate general and administrative expenses. Additionally, net operating income as we define it may not be comparable to net operating income as defined by other REITs or companies.
The following tables reconcile the segment activity to consolidated net income for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012:

11. Fair Value Measurements
Our balance sheets include the following financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, tenant and other receivables, restricted cash, security deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, distributions payable, and notes payable. With the exception of an equity method investment the Company obtained control of in April 2012 and notes payable discussed below, we consider the carrying values of our financial instruments to approximate fair value because they generally expose the Company to limited credit risk and because of the short period of time between origination of the financial assets and liabilities and their expected settlement.
The fair market value of the Company’s notes payable is estimated by discounting future cash flows of each instrument at rates that reflect the current market rates available to the Company for debt of the same terms and maturities. The fair value of the notes payable was determined using Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy. Based on the estimates used by the Company, the fair value of notes payable was $275.8 million and $178.4 million, compared to the carrying values of $276.4 million ($276.5 million, including premium) and $181.3 million ($181.7 million, including premium) at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Upon acquiring control of a previously unconsolidated entity in April 2012, the Company recorded its equity method investment at fair value of $6.0 million, and recorded a gain of approximately $1.3 million. The fair value of the equity method investment was estimated using a direct capitalization approach and was measured using Level 3 inputs. The capitalization rate used was 8.25% and a change in this input could result in a significant change in the valuation of our original joint venture investment and a change in the gain from remeasurement recognized during the period.
There were no transfers between Levels 1 or 2 during the year ended December 31, 2014. There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis included in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2014 or December 31, 2013.
12. Income Taxes
For federal income tax purposes, we have elected to be taxed as a REIT, under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2008. REIT status imposes limitations related to operating assisted-living properties. Generally, to qualify as a REIT, we cannot directly operate assisted-living facilities. However, such facilities may generally be operated by a TRS pursuant to a lease with the Company. Therefore, we have formed Master HC TRS, LLC (“Master TRS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of HC Operating Partnership, LP, to lease any assisted-living properties we acquire and to operate the assisted-living properties pursuant to contracts with unaffiliated management companies. Master TRS and the Company made the applicable election for Master TRS to qualify as a TRS. Under the management contracts, the management companies direct control of the daily operations of these assisted-living properties.
As of December 31, 2014, we had acquired 14 wholly-owned assisted-living facilities and formed 24 wholly-owned TRSs, which includes a Master TRS that consolidates our wholly-owned TRSs.
81 |
Each TRS is a tax paying component for purposes of classifying deferred tax assets and liabilities. We record net deferred tax assets to the extent we believe these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In the event we were to determine that we would not be able to realize our deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would establish a valuation allowance which would reduce the provision for income taxes.
For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, our TRS reported net taxable income of approximately $0.8 million, $0.7 million, and $0.7 million, respectively. The TRS recognized a $0.4 million, a $0.1 million and a $0.2 million benefit for federal and state income taxes in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which have been recorded in general and administrative expenses. Net deferred tax assets related to the TRS entities totaled $2.8 million and $1.9 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, related primarily to book and tax basis differences for straight-line rent and accrued liabilities. Realization of these deferred tax assets is dependent in part upon generating sufficient taxable income in future periods. Deferred tax assets are included in deferred costs and other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. We have not recorded a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2014, as we have determined the future taxable income from the operations of the TRS entities are expected to be sufficient to cover the additional future expenses resulting from these book tax differences.
13. Stockholders’ Equity
Our charter authorizes the issuance of 580,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.01 per share and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.01 per share, of which 1,000 shares are designated as Series C Preferred Stock.
Common Stock
As of December 31, 2014 and 2013 including distributions reinvested, we had issued 13.3 million shares of common stock for a total of $132.3 million of gross proceeds, respectively, in our public offerings.
On April 10, 2014, we announced the commencement of an issuer tender offer to purchase for cash up to $35.0 million of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock from stockholders at a price of $8.50 per share. On May 22, 2014, we amended the tender offer to increase the purchase price to $9.00 per share and to extend the tender offer expiration date. The tender offer expired on June 12, 2014. We purchased 1,113,213 shares of our common stock pursuant to the tender offer for an aggregate cost of approximately $10.0 million, excluding fees and expenses related to the tender offer paid by the Company. The tender offer was funded by a sale of Series B Preferred Units to the Investor on June 18, 2014, and the remainder from the Company’s existing cash.
Preferred Stock and OP Units
As of December 31, 2014 we had issued 1,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and 946,560 Series B Preferred Units for gross proceeds of $94.8 million. The Series B Preferred Units outstanding are convertible into approximately 9,446,707 shares of the Company’s common stock and are classified as non-controlling interests in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
The Series C Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Company’s common stock with respect to dividend rights and rights on liquidation. The holders of the Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends, as and if authorized by our board of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose, at an annual rate equal to 3% of the liquidation preference for each share. Dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock are payable annually in arrears.
The Series B Preferred Units rank senior to the Operating Partnership’s common units with respect to distribution rights and rights on liquidation. The Series B Preferred Units are entitled to receive cash distributions at an annual rate equal to 7.5% (with respect to put exercises associated with real property acquisitions) and 6.0% (with respect to put exercises associated with construction loan originations) of the Series B liquidation preference prior to any distributions paid to common units of the Operating Partnership. If the Operating Partnership is unable to pay cash distributions, distributions will be paid in kind at an annual rate of 10% of the Series B liquidation preference. After payment of the preferred distributions, additional distributions will be paid first to the common units until they have received an aggregate blended return equal to a weighted average interest rate determined taking into account the Series B Preferred Units receiving a 6.0% return and the Series B Preferred Units receiving a 7.5% return per unit in annual distributions commencing from February 10, 2013, and thereafter to the common units and Series B Preferred Units pro rata.
After giving effect to the Series C Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Units issued at December 31, 2014, 639,700 Series B Preferred Units remain issuable under the Purchase Agreement. The obligation of the Investor to purchase additional Series B Preferred Units under the Purchase Agreement is conditioned upon, among other things, the receipt of notice from us of the intention to sell a specified amount of securities to the Investor to finance a proposed real estate acquisition.
Distributions
In 2007, we adopted a distribution reinvestment plan that allows our stockholders to have dividends and other distributions otherwise distributable to them, invested in additional shares of our common stock at their election. We registered 10,000,000 shares of our common stock for sale pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan.
Effective as of May 10, 2011, we suspended our distribution reinvestment plan.
On June 19, 2013, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 to register up to $99,000,000 of shares of common stock to be offered to our existing stockholders pursuant to an amended and restated distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRIP offering”). The DRIP offering shares were initially offered at a purchase price of $10.02, which was the then-current estimated per-share value of our common stock. Effective February 28, 2014, the DRIP offering shares are being offered at a purchase price of $11.63 per share, which is our updated estimated per-share value of common stock as of February 28, 2014. As of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 583,611 and 556,204 shares, respectively, had been issued under the distribution reinvestment plan.

The following are the distributions declared on our common stock during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012:
Distribution Declared (1) | ||||||||||||
Period | Cash | Reinvested | Total | |||||||||
2012 | 3,940,000 | - | 3,940,000 | |||||||||

2014 | 5,646,000 | 339,000 | 5,985,000 |
(1) | In order to meet the requirements for being treated as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, we must pay distributions to our stockholders each taxable year equal to at least 90 % of our net ordinary taxable income. Some of our distributions have been paid from sources other than operating cash flow, such as offering proceeds. Until proceeds from equity issuances are fully invested and generating operating cash flow sufficient to fully cover distributions to stockholders, we intend to pay all or a portion of our distributions from the proceeds of equity issuances or from borrowings in anticipation of future cash flow. |
The declaration of distributions is at the discretion of our board of directors. Our board will determine the amount of distributions on a regular basis. The amount of distributions will depend on our funds from operations, financial condition, capital requirements, annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code and other factors our board of directors deems relevant. The rate and frequency of distributions is subject to the discretion of our board of directors and may change from time to time based on our operating results and cash flow.
Stock Repurchase Program
In 2007, we adopted a stock repurchase program for investors who have held their shares for at least one year, unless the shares are being repurchased in connection with a stockholder’s death. Under our stock repurchase program, the repurchase price varies depending on the purchase price paid by the stockholder and the number of years the shares are held. Our board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the program at any time with 30 days prior notice to stockholders. We have no obligation to repurchase our stockholders’ shares. In 2009, our board of directors waived the one-year holding period in the event of the death of a stockholder and adjusted the repurchase price to 100% of such stockholders purchase price irrespective of how long the stockholder held the shares.
Our stock repurchase program has been suspended since May 29, 2011 for all repurchases, except repurchases due to death of a stockholder. On March 31, 2014, we informed our stockholders of the suspension of the share repurchase program following the March 2014 redemption date. The Company redeemed all stock repurchase requests received prior to March 31, 2014 due to death. Thereafter no shares will be repurchased until the repurchase program is reinstated.
During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, we redeemed shares pursuant to our stock repurchase program as follows:
Period | Total Number of Shares Redeemed | Average Price | ||||||
2012 | 108,939 | $9.31 | ||||||
2013 | 204,343 | $9.99 | ||||||
2014 | 49,962 | $11.63 |
Employee and Director Incentive Stock Plan
We have adopted an Employee and Director Incentive Stock Plan (the “Plan”) which provides for the grant of awards to our directors and full-time employees, as well as other eligible participants that provide services to us. We have no employees, and we currently do not have plans to grant awards under the Plan to persons who are not directors. Awards granted under the Plan may consist of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock, share appreciation rights, and dividend equivalent rights. The term of the Plan is 10 years. The total number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Plan is equal to 10% of our outstanding shares of stock at any time. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, we have not granted any awards under the Plan.
Tax Treatment of Distributions
For tax purposes, our distributions are comprised of taxable ordinary dividend and return of capital. The return of capital for the distributions per share to common stockholders reportable for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012 were as follows:
Per Common Shares | 2014 | 2013 | 2012 | |||||||||||||||||||||

14. Earnings Per Share
We report earnings (loss) per share pursuant to ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings (loss) per share attributable for all periods presented are computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of our common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed based on the weighted average number of shares of our common stock and all potentially dilutive securities, if any. The Series B Preferred Units give rise to potentially dilutive securities of our common stock. As of December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, there were 946,560, 193,000, and 0, respectively, Series B Preferred Units outstanding, but such units were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because such shares were anti-dilutive during these periods.
15. Related Party Transactions
Advisory Relationship with the Advisor
Throughout 2013 and 2014 we were party to an Advisory Agreement with the Advisor, which became effective on January 1, 2012 for a one-year term ending December 31, 2012. The Advisory Agreement was renewed for additional one-year terms commencing on January 1, 2013, January 1, 2014, and January 1, 2015, however, as discussed below under the heading “Transition to Internal Management Agreement” certain provisions of the Advisory Agreement have been amended as a result of the execution on February 10, 2013 of a Transition to Internal Management Agreement which was subsequently amended in April 2014 and February 2015 (as amended, the “Transition Agreement”) with the Advisor.
Pursuant to the provisions of the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is responsible for managing, operating, directing and supervising the operation of our company and its assets. Generally, the Advisor is responsible for providing us with (i) property acquisition, disposition and financing services, (ii) asset management and operational services, including real estate services and financial and administrative services, (iii) stockholder services, and (iv) in the event we conduct a public offering of our securities, offering-related services. The Advisor is subject to the supervision and ultimate authority of our board of directors and has a fiduciary duty to us and our stockholders.
The fees and expense reimbursements payable or paid to the Advisor under the Advisory Agreement, and subject to the terms of the Transition Agreement, as discussed below under the heading “Transition to Internal Management Agreement,” are described below.
Offering Stage Fees and Expenses:
· | If our board of directors determines that it is advisable and in our best interests to conduct an offering of our securities,
the Advisor will be entitled to be reimbursed for organizational and offering costs paid by the Advisor on our behalf. Organizational
and offering costs consist of all expenses (other than sales commissions and the dealer manager fees) to be paid by us in connection
with our offerings, including our legal, accounting, printing, mailing and filing fees, charges of our escrow holder and other
accountable offering expenses. However, the Advisor would be required to reimburse us to the extent that our organization and offering
expenses are in excess of 15% of gross offering proceeds at the conclusion of such offering. During the years ended December 31,
2014 and 2013, the Advisor incurred no organization and offering expenses on our behalf. |
Acquisition and Operating Stage Fees and Expenses:
· | Subject to the limitation on fees agreed to in the Transition Agreement, we are obligated to pay the Advisor acquisition fees in an amount equal to 1.0% of the sum of the amount actually paid or allocated to the purchase, development, construction or improvement of an investment, inclusive of the acquisition expenses associated with such investment, and the amount of any debt attributable to such investment. With respect to acquisitions made through a joint venture in which the Company is a co-venturer, the acquisition fee payable to the Advisor will be equal to 1.0% of the Company’s allocable portion of the amount actually paid or allocated to the purchase, development, construction or improvement of the investment, inclusive of the acquisition expenses associated with such investment, and the Company’s allocable portion of any debt attributable to such investment. An acquisition fee will be payable to the Advisor at the time we acquire the related investment. In addition, we are required to reimburse the Advisor for direct costs the Advisor incurs and pays to third parties in connection with the selection and acquisition of potential investments, whether or not we ultimately acquire them. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Advisor earned approximately $1.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of acquisition fees from us and incurred no acquisition expenses on our behalf. |
· | We are not required to reimburse the Advisor or its affiliates for any of their costs or expenses that are not directly attributable to our business, including without limitation (i) any personnel costs incurred by the Advisor to its employees, and (ii) any costs related to the Advisor’ rent, utilities and general overhead. We are responsible for paying directly or reimbursing the Advisor for costs that are directly attributable to our business. |
· | Under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor must restrict total operating expenses for the preceding four consecutive fiscal quarters, as determined at the end of each fiscal quarter, to the greater of 2% of the Company’s Average Invested Assets (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) or 25% of the Company’s net income for such period (the “2%/25% Guidelines”), unless the independent directors committee determines that a higher level of expenses is justified, based on unusual and non-recurring factors which it deems sufficient. If the independent directors committee does not approve such excess as being so justified, the Advisory Agreement and our charter require that any amount in excess of the 2%/25 Guidelines (an “Excess Amount”) paid to the Advisor during a fiscal quarter shall be repaid to us. For the four quarters ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, our management fees and expenses and operating expenses totaled $5.8 million and $4.6 million, respectively. These amounts did not exceed the greater of 2% of our average invested assets and 25% of our net income. |
84 |
· | Subject to compliance with the 2%/25% Guidelines and the limitation on fees agreed to in the Transition Agreement, we are obligated to pay the Advisor a financing coordination fee for services rendered by the Advisor in connection with the refinancing of any of our debt obligations in an amount equal to 0.5% of the gross amount of any such refinancing, provided however, that the Advisor will not be entitled to a financing coordination fee in connection with the refinancing of debt obligations secured by any particular asset that was subject to a refinancing in connection with which the Advisor received a financing coordination fee within the immediately preceding three year period. Any such financing coordination fee is payable to the Advisor upon the closing of the related refinancing. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Advisor earned approximately $0.1 million of financing coordination fees from us. |
· | Subject to compliance with the 2%/25% Guidelines and the limitation on fees agreed to in the Transition Agreement, we are obligated to pay the Advisor a monthly asset management fee in an amount equal to one-twelfth of 1.0% of our assets under management, calculated on a monthly basis as of the last day of each month. Additionally, subject to compliance with the 2%/25% Guidelines and the limitation on fees agreed to in the Transition Agreement, with respect to fiscal quarters in which distributions declared to stockholders and cash available for distribution for such fiscal quarter are each at least $0.125 per share, we are also obligated to pay the Advisor a quarterly bonus asset management fee equal to the lesser of (i) one-fourth of 0.15% of our assets under management, calculated on a quarterly basis as of the last day of the quarter, or (ii) $150,000. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Advisor earned approximately $4.1 million and $2.9 million, respectively, of asset management fees from us. |
· | Subject to the limitation on fees agreed to in the Transition Agreement, if we retain the Advisor or one of its affiliates to manage or lease any of our properties, we will pay the Advisor or such affiliate a market-based fee in accordance with a separately negotiated property management, leasing and development agreement to be approved by the independent directors committee, which agreement may provide for fees similar to what other management or leasing companies generally charge for the management or leasing of similar properties, and which may include reimbursement for the costs and expenses the Advisor or its affiliates incurs in managing or leasing our properties. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we did not pay any property management, leasing or development fees to the Advisor. |
Listing/ Liquidation Stage Fees and Expenses:
· | Subject to the limitation on fees agreed to in the Transition Agreement, if the Advisor or one of its affiliates provides a substantial amount of the services (as determined by a majority of our directors, including a majority of our independent directors committee) in connection with the sale of one or more of our properties, other than a sale in connection with a transaction in which we sell, grant, convey or relinquish our ownership of all or substantially all of our assets, we would be required to pay the Advisor or such affiliate at closing a disposition fee equal to the lesser of (i) 1.0% of the sales price of such property or properties, or (ii) one-half of the competitive real estate commission in light of the size, type and location of the property. The disposition fee may be paid in addition to real estate commissions paid to non-affiliates, provided that the total real estate commissions (including such disposition fee) paid to all persons by us for each property shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 6.0% of the aggregate contract sales price of each property or (ii) the competitive real estate commission for each property. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Advisor earned approximately $0.0 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of disposition fees from us. |
· | As described in further detail below under “Transition to Internal Management Agreement” under certain circumstances, the Advisor may be entitled to incentive fee amounts upon a listing or liquidation of the Company, or upon a termination of the Advisory Agreement. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we did not pay any incentive fees to the Advisor related to a listing or liquidation of the Company, or a termination of the Advisory Agreement. |
Transition to Internal Management Agreement
In connection with entering into the KKR Equity Commitment, we entered into the Transition Agreement with the Advisor and the Investor. The Transition Agreement sets forth the terms for our transition from our current externally-advised structure to an internal management structure. The Transition Agreement provides that the existing external advisory structure will remain in place upon substantially the same terms as currently in effect until February 10, 2017, subject to annual renewals of the Advisory Agreement in accordance with the requirements of the Company’s governing documents, at the end of which time the advisory function will be internalized in accordance with the Transition Agreement.
The Transition Agreement limits the amount of the fees payable under our existing Advisory Agreement with the Advisor. Specifically, notwithstanding the provisions of the Advisory Agreement, acquisition fees, financing coordination fees, asset management fees, property management and leasing fees, and disposition fees payable under the Advisory Agreement are limited to an amount no more than (1) $3.2 million plus an excess amount of $3.2 million (the “Excess Fee Amount”) from February 10, 2013 to February 10, 2014, and (2) $3.2 million plus any remaining portion of the Excess Fee Amount during the period from the February 11, 2014 to February 10, 2015. The maximum aggregate amount of such fees payable to the Advisor from February 10, 2013 through February 10, 2015 under these limits was $9.6 million (the “Maximum Fee Amount”). Solely with respect to any fees earned by the Advisor during the period from February 11, 2014 to February 10, 2015 in excess of the Maximum Fee Amount, such fees will be included in fees payable during the one-year period from February 11, 2015 to February 10, 2016, subject to a maximum amount of $1.0 million. For the one-year period from February 11, 2015 to February 10, 2016, as well as for the one-year period from February 11, 2016 to February 10, 2017, the same limits will apply to the aggregate fees the Advisor can earn such that the aggregate amount of such fees payable to the Advisor from February 11, 2015 to February 10, 2017 is equal to the Maximum Fee Amount.
The Transition Agreement also amends the Advisory Agreement to modify the terms of the subordinated incentive fees to which the Advisor may be entitled under certain circumstances. Specifically, the Transition Agreement provides for the following possible incentive amounts to be payable to the Advisor:
85 |
● | Subordinated Sales and Financings Promote. A subordinated sales and financings promote may be payable to the Advisor upon a distribution to holders of shares of our common stock outstanding as of February 10, 2013 (the “Legacy Common Shares”) resulting from a sale and financing of one or more of our assets, which will be determined and paid as an amount of shares of common stock equal to the ratio of: |
o | 10% of the amount, if any, by which (A) the sum of (i) the number of Legacy Common Shares times the per share cash distributions to the holders of the Legacy Common Shares in respect of cash from sales and financings, plus (ii) the total amount of all previous dividends or distributions paid on the Legacy Common Shares since the date of the inception of the Company’s initial public offering; exceeds (B) the sum of (x) the total invested capital for the Legacy Common Shares and (y) the amount required to pay stockholders a 7% cumulative, non-compounded return from inception of the Company’s initial public offering through the date of the closing of the applicable sale or financing on the Legacy Common Shares; |
over:
o | the net asset value per share of common stock as of the closing of the applicable sale or financing (as defined in the Transition Agreement). |
However, if the subordinated sales and financings promote is payable as the result of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, then the promote will be paid in cash rather than shares of common stock.
● | Subordinated Internalization Promote. In connection with a termination of the Advisory Agreement upon consummation of an internalization, the Advisor may be entitled to a subordinated internalization promote determined and paid on one-year anniversary of the termination of the Advisor Agreement, in an amount consisting of the sum of: |
o | a cash payment equal to 40% of: |
● | 10% of the amount, if any, by which (A) the sum of (i) the number of Legacy Common Shares times the per share net asset value on the determination date, plus (ii) the total amount of dividends or distributions paid on the Legacy Common Shares from date from inception of the Company’s initial public offering through the determination date; exceeds (B) the sum of (x) the total invested capital for the Legacy Common Shares and (y) the amount required to pay stockholders a 7% cumulative, non-compounded return from inception of the Company’s initial public offering through the determination date on the Legacy Common Shares (such amount, the “Subordinated Internalization Cash Amount”); and |
an amount of shares of common stock equal to the ratio of:
● | 60% of the Subordinated Internalization Cash Amount; |
over:
● | the net asset value per share of common stock as of the determination date (as defined in the Transition Agreement). |
However, in the event the common stock is listed on a national stock exchange as of the determination date, the amount of the subordinated internalization promote will be determined by reference to the market value of a share of common stock (as defined in the Transition Agreement), rather than the net asset value. Furthermore, the amount of the subordinated internalization promote will be reduced by the amount of any subordinated sales and financings promote previously earned by our Advisor.
● | Subordinated Performance Fee Due Upon Termination. If (1) we terminate the Advisory Agreement prior to an internalization for any reason other than a material breach by the Advisor, (2) the Advisory Agreement is not renewed (other than in connection with an internalization) because we are unwilling to renew the agreement on substantially similar terms, or (3) the Advisor terminates the Advisory Agreement prior to an internalization because of a material breach by us, then, we will pay the Advisor a subordinated performance fee due upon termination, payable in the form of a promissory note bearing simple interest at a rate of 5% per annum, in a principal amount equal to: |
o | 10% of the amount, if any, by which (A) the sum of (i) the product of the Legacy Common Shares times the per share net asset value at the termination date and (ii) total distributions (excluding any stock dividends and distributions paid on shares of common stock redeemed by the Company) paid on the Legacy Common Shares through the termination date, exceeds (B) the sum of (i) the total invested capital for the Legacy Common Shares and (ii) the total distributions required to be made to the Legacy Common Shares in order to pay stockholders a 7% cumulative, non-compounded return from inception of the Company’s initial public offering through the termination date; |
o | less any prior payment to our Advisor of a subordinated sales and financings promote. |
Upon the internalization date established pursuant to the Transition Agreement, we will acquire all of the Advisor’s assets that are reasonably necessary for the management and operation of our business (we refer to such a transaction as an internalization). On or prior to the internalization date, our Advisor will facilitate our efforts to hire the employees of the Advisor. With respect to certain key persons, we will be required to enter into employment agreements based upon market terms established in consultation with an independent compensation consultant. The Investor will have the right to consent to our hiring of all key personnel. Upon an internalization or a Liquidation Event (as defined in the investor rights agreement entered into in connection with the KKR Equity Commitment), then our Advisor will receive a fee in an amount that is the lesser of (i) $4.0 million or $3.0 million (depending on when the event occurs), and (ii) the remaining portion of the $9.6 million Maximum Fee Amount, if any, not previously paid to our Advisor.
In connection with entering into the Transition Agreement, we and the Advisor have generally agreed not to terminate the Advisory Agreement without the prior consent of the Investor.

KKR Equity Commitment
Pursuant to the KKR Equity Commitment, we may issue and sell to the Investor and its affiliates on a private placement basis from time to time over a period of three years, up to $158.7 million in aggregate issuance amount of shares of newly issued Series C Preferred Stock and newly issued Series B Preferred Units to fund real estate acquisitions, a self-tender offer and the origination of a development loan. As a result of the transactions contemplated by the KKR Equity Commitment, the Investor currently beneficially owns an aggregate of 10,993,613 shares of common stock of the Company, which represent, in the aggregate, approximately, 48.9% of the outstanding shares of common stock as of March 15, 2015.
As of December 31, 2014, pursuant to the terms of the KKR Equity Commitment, the Investor has purchased 1,000 newly issued Series C Preferred Stock and 946,560 newly issued Series B Preferred Units for an aggregate purchase price of $94.8 million. As of December 31, 2014, 639,700 Series B Preferred Units remain issuable under the Securities Purchase Agreement. The obligation of the Investor to purchase additional Series B Preferred Units under the Securities Purchase Agreement is conditioned upon, among other things, the receipt of notice from us of the intention to sell a specified amount of securities to the Investor to finance a proposed investment opportunity.
Securities Purchase Agreement
On February 10, 2013, the Company, and the Operating Partnership (as used herein, the Company and the Operating Partnership are referred to as the “Sentio Parties”) and the Investor entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement which was subsequently amended in April 2014 and December 2014 (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”). Under the Purchase Agreement, the Sentio Parties may issue and sell to the Investor on a private placement basis from time to time over a period of up to three years, newly issued Series C Preferred Stock and newly issued Series B Preferred Units in an amount up to $158.7 million.
In conjunction with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Sentio Parties paid to Investor a transaction fee of $2.0 million and were obligated to reimburse the Investor for up to $1.0 million of its expenses incurred in connection with the Purchase Agreement. With limited exceptions, the Sentio Parties are restricted from issuing securities other than in accordance with the Purchase Agreement while the put rights under the Purchase Agreement are in effect.
To the extent the minimum purchase obligation is not exercised during the term of the commitment, the Sentio Parties are required to pay a premium to the Investor calculated and payable annually as a percentage of the unexercised amount under the commitment. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we paid the Investor an unused fee of $0.1 million and $0.0 million, respectively.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, our board of directors increased the size of the board from seven to nine members and filled the vacancies created thereby with two directors selected by the Investor. We will also, at the Investor’s sole election, add one additional director (for a total of ten directors), which director will also be selected by the Investor.
87 |
Series C Preferred Stock
The Series C Preferred Stock issued to the Investor pursuant to the Purchase Agreement ranks senior to the Company’s common stock with respect to dividend rights and rights on liquidation. The holders of the Series C Preferred Shares will be entitled to receive dividends, as and if authorized by the board out of funds legally available for that purpose, at an annual rate equal to 3%.
The holder of each share of Series C Preferred Stock has the right to one vote for each share of As-Converted Common Stock (defined below) held by such holder and its affiliates and with respect to such vote, such holder will have full voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the holders of the Company’s common stock, and will be entitled to notice of any shareholders’ meeting in accordance with the bylaws of the Company, and shall be entitled to vote, together with holders of common stock as a single class, with respect to any question upon which holders of common stock have the right to vote, with certain limited exceptions. “As-Converted Common Stock” means, as of any determination date and with respect to any holder, the number of shares of Common Stock then held by such holder and its affiliates after giving effect to the conversion or exchange, in accordance with their terms, of any and all securities then convertible or exchangeable, directly or indirectly, into common stock.
Amended Partnership Agreement
On April 5, 2013, the Company, HPC LP TRS, LLC and the Investor entered a Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership which was subsequently amended on December 22, 2014 (as amended, the “Amended Partnership Agreement”). The Amended Partnership Agreement authorizes the issuance of the Series B Preferred Units to the Investor. The Series B Preferred Units rank senior to the Partnership’s common units with respect to distribution rights and rights on liquidation. The Series B Preferred Units related to the acquisition of an Approved Acquisition (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) will receive cash distributions at an annual rate equal to 7.5% in preference to any distributions paid to common units. Provided, however, that any Series B Preferred Units issued in connection with a put exercise for a construction loan will receive cash distributions at a reduced annual rate equal to 6.0% in preference to any distributions paid to common units. In addition, the preferred return for a put exercise for a construction loan will be calculated based solely on the exercise put amount related to the construction loan put exercise that has been funded as opposed to the full amount of Series B Preferred Units outstanding. If the Partnership is unable to pay cash distributions, distributions will be paid in kind at an annual rate of 10%. After payment of the preferred distributions, additional distributions will be paid first to the common units until they have received an aggregate blended return equal to the weighted average of the return being paid to Series B Preferred Units in annual distributions from the Effective Date, and thereafter to the common units and Series B Preferred Units pro rata. In the event of a liquidation of the Operating Partnership, the Investor would receive an amount equal to the greater of (a) the amount paid to acquire securities under the Purchase Agreement plus all accrued and unpaid distributions or (b) the amount the Investor would be entitled to receive in the transaction if the Series B Preferred Units were converted into common units of the Partnership (excluding any unpaid distribution to holders of common units, to which the holders of common units alone are entitled).
Each Series B Preferred Unit has an initial issuance value of $100.00 per unit and is convertible into a number of common units of Partnership interest equal to the issuance value of such Series B Preferred Unit divided by the applicable conversion price as determined in accordance with the terms of the Amended Partnership Agreement. The initial conversion price is $10.02. The Investor may exchange common units for shares of the Company’s common stock, at an initial exchange factor of 1 to 1, subject to proportional adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, cash dividends, merger, recapitalizations and other similar events by the Company or the Partnership. The Partnership Agreement requires that the Company and the Partnership receive the Investor’s consent before taking certain actions.
The Amended Partnership Agreement permits the Operating Partnership to engage in a sale of the assets or equity of the Operating Partnership without the consent of the Investor, which would otherwise be required under the Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement, provided the following conditions are met: (i) the sale is cash only, and (ii) the Company or the Operating Partnership, as applicable, has issued to the Investor $100,000 in aggregate liquidation preference amount of Series C Preferred Stock and $149,900,000 in aggregate liquidation preference amount of Series B Preferred Units.
Investor Rights Agreement
On February 10, 2013, the Company, the Operating Partnership, and the Investor entered into an Investor Rights Agreement, which was subsequently amended in December 2014 (as amended, the “Investor Rights Agreement”) that provides the Investor, its affiliates and their respective permitted transferees with certain rights as a holder of Series C Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Units. More specifically, the Investor Rights Agreement provides such holders with preemptive rights to participate in future equity issuances by the Company, subject to customary exceptions. Additionally, the Investor Rights Agreement contains certain significant minority protections that require the Investor’s consent before taking certain actions. Under the Investor Rights Agreement, the Sentio Parties are also prohibited from incurring indebtedness other than property-level mortgage refinancing, subject to certain limitations.
The Investor Rights Agreement includes standstill provisions prohibiting the Investor from acquiring additional securities of the Company or the Partnership other than in accordance with the Purchase Agreement (subject to the pre-emptive rights described above) until February 10, 2016. The Investor Rights Agreement contains customary registration rights requiring the Company to register the shares of Series C Preferred Stock and common stock held by the Investor as a result of exchange of its Series B Preferred Units for resale to the public from time to time, in defined circumstances and within defined deadlines as set forth in the Investor Rights Agreement. The Company is also required, upon demand by the Investor in accordance with the Investor Rights Agreement, to register one or more primary offerings of newly issued common stock and to use the proceeds from such offerings to redeem partnership units held by the Investor. Beginning on July 1, 2017, the Investor, at its sole option, will have the ability to cause us to initiate a listing of the Company’s common stock, a sale of the Company, or a process to sell all or substantially all of our assets subject to specific terms and conditions.
The Investor Rights Agreement permits the Company to engage in a sale of the assets or equity of the Operating Partnership and the Company without the consent of the Investor, which would otherwise be required under the Investor Rights Agreement, provided the following conditions are met: (i) the sale is cash only, and (ii) the Company or the operating partnership, as applicable, has issued to the Investor $100,000 in aggregate liquidation preference amount of Series C Preferred Stock and $149,900,000 in aggregate liquidation preference amount of Series B Preferred Units.
16. Commitments and Contingencies
We monitor our properties for the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. While there can be no assurance that a material environmental liability does not exist, we are not currently aware of any environmental liability with respect to the properties that we believe would have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Further, we are not aware of any environmental liability or any unasserted claim or assessment with respect to an environmental liability that we believe would require additional disclosure or the recording of a loss contingency.
Our commitments and contingencies include the usual obligations of real estate owners and operators in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, these matters are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, cash flows and results of operations. We are not presently subject to any material litigation nor, to our knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against the Company which if determined unfavorably to us would have a material adverse effect on our cash flows, financial condition or results of operations.

18. Subsequent Events
Georgetown Loan
On January 15, 2015, the Company, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, originated a development loan in the amount of $41.9 million for The Delaney at Georgetown Village development project located in Georgetown, Texas (the “Georgetown Loan”). The borrower, Westminster-LCS Georgetown LLC, is not affiliated with the Company or the Advisor. The borrower is a joint venture between Life Care Companies, LLC (“LCS”) and a fund sponsored by Westminster Capital (“Westminster”), and will use the proceeds of the Georgetown Loan to develop a senior living facility with 207 units including independent living, assisted living and memory care.
The Georgetown Loan is secured by a first mortgage lien on the land, building, and all improvements made thereon. The Georgetown Loan matures on January 15, 2020 with one 12-month option to extend at the Company’s option, and bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.9% per annum for the term of the loan. Advances will be made periodically during the construction period to cover documented hard and soft costs of construction and interest, commencing after the borrower has expended its required equity contribution, and subject to customary construction draw conditions. The borrower paid a loan origination fee equal to 1% of the loan amount. Monthly payments are interest only for the term of the loan. The Company has the option to purchase the property at fair market value upon stabilization or 48 months. Fair market value is determined by the average asset value of independent appraisals obtained by the lender and borrower. Regardless of whether the Company exercises the option to purchase the property, the Company will be entitled to participate in the value creation which is the difference between the fair market value and the total development cost. The Georgetown Loan is non-recourse to LCS and Westminster, but LCS has provided cost and completion guarantees as well as a guaranty of customary “bad boy” carve-outs.
The Company expects to fund the Georgetown Loan with proceeds from the sale of Series B Preferred Units to the Investor. Upon funding of the Georgetown Loan, interest income on the loan receivable will be recognized as earned based upon the principal amount outstanding subject to an evaluation of collectability risks.
Sale of Preferred Units in the Operating Partnership
On January 16, 2015, a purchase of securities related to the Georgetown Loan (the “Georgetown Put Exercise”) was completed by the Investor pursuant to the KKR Equity Commitment.
Pursuant to the Georgetown Put Exercise, the Investor agreed to fund $41.9 million related to the Georgetown Loan and was issued the following securities:
· | 155,000 newly-issued Series B Preferred Units, which are convertible into approximately 1,546,906 shares of the Company’s common stock at the currently effective conversion price. |
After giving effect to the 155,000 Series B Preferred Units issued upon the closing of the Georgetown Put Exercise and the Series B Preferred Units relating to the Georgetown Put Exercise remaining to be issued, 220,580 Series B Preferred Units remain issuable under the Purchase Agreement.

Sumter Grand
On February 6, 2015, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, we acquired real estate property (“Sumter Grand”) from Retirement Two, LLC, which is not affiliated with us, for a purchase price of $31.5 million. Sumter Grand consists of a 150-unit independent living facility located in The Villages, Florida. We funded the purchase of Sumter Grand with proceeds from the sale to the Investor of Series B Preferred Units pursuant to the KKR Equity Commitment on December 30, 2014 and with proceeds from a mortgage loan from KeyBank National Association, Inc.

The secretary, or, in the secretary’s absence, an assistant secretary, or in the absence of both the secretary and assistant secretaries, an individual appointed by the Board of Directors or, in the absence of such appointment, an individual appointed by the chairman of the meeting shall act as secretary.

If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the stockholders, the chairman of the meeting shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time to a date not more than 120 days after the original record date without notice other than announcement at the meeting. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.
2 |
The stockholders present either in person or by proxy, at a meeting which has been duly called and convened, may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.
SECTION 2.8. VOTING. A majority of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders duly called and at which a quorum is present shall be sufficient to approve any matter which may properly come before the meeting, unless more than a majority of the votes cast is required by statute or by the charter of the Company and except as may be provided by the Board of Directors in setting the terms of any class or series of preferred stock. Unless otherwise provided by the charter and as may be provided by the Board of Directors in setting the terms of any class or series of preferred stock, each outstanding share, regardless of class, shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders. At each meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected, each share may be voted for as many individuals as there are Directors to be elected and for whose election the share is entitled to be voted.
SECTION 2.9. PROXIES. A stockholder may cast the votes entitled to be cast by the shares of stock owned of record by him, either in person or by proxy executed by the stockholder or by his duly authorized agent in any manner permitted by law.

No proxy shall be valid more than eleven months after its date unless otherwise provided in the proxy.
SECTION 2.10. SPECIAL VOTING PROVISIONS.
(a) Voting of Stock by Certain Holders. Stock of the Company registered in the name of a corporation, partnership, trust or other entity, if entitled to be voted, may be voted by an officer thereof, a general partner or trustee thereof, as the case may be, or a proxy appointed by any of the foregoing individuals, unless some other person who has been appointed to vote such stock pursuant to a bylaw or a resolution of the governing body of such corporation or other entity or agreement of the partners of a partnership presents a certified copy of such bylaw, resolution or agreement, in which case such person may vote such stock. Any Director or other fiduciary may vote stock registered in his name as such fiduciary, either in person or by proxy.
Shares of stock of the Company directly or indirectly owned by it shall not be voted at any meeting and shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares entitled to be voted at any given time, unless they are held by it in a fiduciary capacity, in which case they may be voted and shall be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time.
The Board of Directors may adopt by resolution a procedure by which a stockholder may certify in writing to the Company that any shares of stock registered in the name of the stockholder are held for the account of a specified person other than the stockholder. The resolution shall set forth the class of stockholders who may make the certification, the purpose for which the certification may be made, the form of certification and the information to be contained in it; if the certification is with respect to a record date or closing of the stock transfer books, the time after the record date or closing of the stock transfer books within which the certification must be received by the Company; and any other provisions with respect to the procedure which the Board of Directors considers necessary or desirable. On receipt of such certification, the person specified in the certification shall be regarded as, for the purposes set forth in the certification, the stockholder of record of the specified stock in place of the stockholder who makes the certification.

(b) Exemption from Control Share Acquisition Statute. Notwithstanding any other provision of the charter of the Company or these Bylaws, Title 3, Subtitle 7 of the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”) (or any successor statute) shall not apply to any acquisition by any person of shares of stock of the Company. This section may be repealed, in whole or in part, at any time, whether before or after an acquisition of control shares and, upon such repeal, may, to the extent provided by any successor bylaw, apply to any prior or subsequent control share acquisition.
SECTION 2.11. INSPECTORS. The Board of Directors, in advance of any meeting, may, but need not, appoint one or more individual inspectors or one or more entities that designate individuals as inspectors to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof. If an inspector or inspectors are not appointed, the person presiding at the meeting may, but need not, appoint one or more inspectors. In case any person who may be appointed as an inspector fails to appear or act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment made by the Board of Directors in advance of the meeting or at the meeting by the chairman of the meeting. The inspectors, if any, shall determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the validity and effect of proxies, and shall receive votes, ballots or consents, hear and determine all challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote, count and tabulate all votes, ballots or consents, determine the result, and do such acts as are proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all stockholders. Each such report shall be in writing and signed by him or her or by a majority of them if there is more than one inspector acting at such meeting. If there is more than one inspector, the report of a majority shall be the report of the inspectors. The report of the inspector or inspectors on the number of shares represented at the meeting and the results of the voting shall be prima facie evidence thereof.

Nominations of individuals for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which Directors are to be elected (i) pursuant to the Company’s notice of meeting, (ii) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (iii) provided that the Board of Directors has determined that Directors shall be elected at such special meeting, by any stockholder of the Company who is a stockholder of record both at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section 2.12 and at the time of the special meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting for such Director nominee(s) and who complied with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.12. In the event the Company calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more individuals to the Board of Directors, any such stockholder may nominate an individual or individuals (as the case may be) for election as a Director as specified in the Company’s notice of meeting, if such stockholder is entitled to vote for such Director nominee at such meeting and if the stockholder’s notice required by paragraph (2) of Section 2.12(a) shall be delivered to the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company not earlier than the 150th day prior to such special meeting and not later than 5:00 p.m., Pacific Time on the later of the 120th day prior to such special meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Property Agreements expressly excludes any contracts, leases, agreements, commitments and other arrangements, and any amendments, modifications, supplements, renewals and extensions entered into by Seller after the Effective Date and prior to the Closing in breach of Section 6.1, and any Property Agreements for which consents to the assignment thereof to the Buyer have not been obtained as of the Closing, unless waived by Buyer. Buyer shall have no obligation under the Property Agreements unless such Property Agreements are listed on Schedule 2.2(c).

All rights of Seller in, to and under all occupancy, residency, leases, tenancy and similar written agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business with residents of the Property, including any amendments, modifications, supplements, renewals and extensions thereof (“Resident Agreements”), and all deposits, initial service fees and advances of any kind or nature from any resident of the Property (“Resident Deposits”).

4 |

2.2 Assumption of Liabilities.
(a) Buyer acknowledges that, effective as of the Closing, Buyer shall assume and undertake to pay, discharge, and perform the liabilities and obligations of Seller from and after Closing and pursuant to the terms of an assumption agreement acceptable to Buyer, under the existing loan secured by the Property identified on Schedule 2.2(a) (the “Existing Mortgage”).
(b) Other than the Existing Mortgage, any Property Agreements assumed by Buyer and any Licenses transferred to Buyer, Buyer is assuming no liabilities attributable to the operation or ownership of the Property which accrued or occurred on or prior to the Closing, all of which Seller shall pay, discharge and perform when due. Specifically, without limiting the foregoing, Buyer shall not assume (i) any claim, action, suit, or proceeding pending as of the Closing or any subsequent claim, action, suit, or proceeding arising out of or relating to any event occurring prior to Closing, with respect to the manner in which Seller conducted its businesses on or prior to the Closing (ii) any liability for Taxes other than real property taxes from and after Closing, or (iii) any liability under any Property Agreements, except for the Assumed Obligations listed in Schedule 2.2(c).

2.3 Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Property shall be an amount equal to FIFTEEN MILLION THREE HUNDRED SEVENTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 U.S. DOLLARS ($15,370,000.00), (the “Purchase Price”), plus or minus (whichever is applicable) the Adjustment Amount, and shall be paid by Buyer to Seller at Closing in cash via wire transfer of immediately available funds. Buyer and Seller have agreed upon an allocation of the Purchase Price for local, state and federal tax purposes as shown on Schedule 2.3; provided, however, the parties may amend the agreed upon allocation of the Purchase Price in the event an appraisal obtained prior to Closing reflects an allocation which differs by more than ten percent (10%) in any respect from the allocation set forth on Schedule 2.3.

The Earnest Money Deposit will be refunded to Buyer if Buyer terminates this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period as permitted under Section 11.1(a). After the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, the Earnest Money Deposit will be non-refundable to Buyer and will be paid to Seller if this Agreement is terminated for any reason other than Buyer's termination of this Agreement under Section 6.2, Section 11.1(b), Section 11.1(c), Section 11.1(e), Section 11.1(f) , or Section 11.2(a)(i).

2.5 Adjustment of Purchase Price.
(a) All income and expenses (including prepaid expenses) of the Property shall be prorated on a daily basis between Seller and Buyer as of 11:59 p.m., on the date (the “Proration Date”) immediately preceding the Closing. Such items to be prorated shall include, without limitation:
(i) | Payments under Assumed Obligations; |
(ii) | The amount of Accrued Employee Benefits; |
(iii) | Utility charges, if any, based on utility charges for the month immediately preceding the Closing; |
(iv) | Real property taxes, which for the year 2014 shall be pro-rated based upon the actual 2014 tax amounts, if available, and if not, available, then upon the estimated assessed value of $15,370,000 for 2014 and applying either (a) the 2014 tax rate, or (b) to the extent the 2014 tax rate is unavailable, the 2013 tax rate. Should actual taxes for the current year vary from estimated taxes, each party shall have the right to demand and receive from the other a re-proration of taxes and reimbursement for the prorated amount or variation thereof up to one (1) year after Closing; and |
(v) | Any loan reserve balances in excess of $90,000 held by the Mortgage Holder and related to the Existing Mortgage (the “Loan Reserve Excess”); provided, however, that Buyer shall be entitled to utilize the Loan Reserve Excess to remediate any deficiencies identified in the Property Condition Report. |
Buyer and Seller shall prepare a proposed schedule (the “Proration Schedule”) prior to Closing, that shall include the items listed above and any other applicable income and expenses with regard to the Property. Seller and Buyer will use all reasonable efforts to finalize and agree upon the Proration Schedule at least two (2) business days prior to Closing.
(b) Any escrow accounts held by any utility companies, and any cash deposits made by Seller or Seller’s Affiliates prior to Closing to secure obligations under Assumed Obligations shall be either paid to Seller or, if assigned to Buyer, Seller shall receive a credit at Closing for any such deposits.
(c) With respect to any amounts held by Seller in a resident escrow or trust account under any Property Agreement, at or promptly following Closing, Seller shall return the same to the depositor thereof (to the extent the amounts held in any such accounts have not been applied against amounts owing by the depositor thereof in accordance with the terms of the applicable Property Agreement). With respect to any cash security or other deposits actually held by Seller pursuant to the Property Agreements (i.e., other than amounts held in a resident escrow or trust account), at Closing Seller shall credit Buyer for all such deposits (to the extent such security or other deposits have not been applied against delinquent amounts owing under such Property Agreements as provided therein).
(d) Seller shall receive all income from and shall be responsible for all expenses of the Property attributable to the period prior to the Proration Date, unless otherwise provided for in this Agreement. In the event Buyer receives any payment from a tenant for rent due for any period prior to the Proration Date or payment of any other receivable of Seller, Buyer shall forward such payment to Seller. To the extent not prorated as of Closing, payments received by Seller shall be first applied by Buyer and Seller to those amounts which were billed first.
(e) Buyer shall receive all income from and shall be responsible for all expenses of the Property attributable to the period from and after the Proration Date, unless otherwise provided for in this Agreement. In the event Seller or Seller’s Affiliates receive any payment from a tenant for rent due for any period from and after the Proration Date, Seller shall forward such payment to Buyer.
6 |
(f) The parties agree that any amounts that may become due under this Section 2.5 shall be paid at Closing as can best be determined (such amount, the “Preliminary Adjustment Amount”). A post-Closing reconciliation of pro-rated items shall be made by the Buyer and Seller within ninety (90) days after Closing and any amounts due at that time shall be promptly forwarded to the respective party in a lump sum payment. Any additional amounts which may become due after such determination shall be forwarded at the time they are received. Any amounts due under this Section 2.5 which cannot be determined within ninety (90) days after Closing shall be reconciled as soon thereafter as such amounts can be determined. Any amounts due under this Section 2.5 after the Closing shall be referred to as the “Post-Closing Adjustment Amounts”. Buyer and Seller agree that each shall have the right to audit the records of the other for up to one (1) year following Closing in connection with any such post-Closing reconciliation.
(g) Buyer shall receive a credit towards the Purchase Price for the Accrued Employee Benefits and any other obligations as otherwise expressly agreed by the Buyer and Seller.
(h) This Section 2.5 shall survive the Closing.
2.6 Escrow Agent.
(a) By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, Escrow Agent agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions in Section 2.4 of this Agreement to the extent applicable to its duties, liabilities and obligations as “Escrow Agent.” Escrow Agent shall hold and dispose of the funds deposited with the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement (“Escrowed Funds”) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Escrow Agent shall incur no liability in connection with the safekeeping or disposition of the Escrowed Funds for any reason other than Escrow Agent’s breach of contract, willful misconduct or gross negligence. Escrow Agent shall be reimbursed by Buyer and Seller for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with its obligations hereunder with each Buyer and Seller being responsible for ½ of the amounts due Escrow Agent unless due to the default of one particular party under this Agreement, in which case all of the out-of-pocket costs shall be attributable to the Party at fault. If Escrow Agent is in doubt as to its duties or obligations with regard to the Escrowed Funds, or if the Escrow Agent receives conflicting instructions from Buyer and Seller with respect to the Escrowed Funds, the Escrow Agent shall not be required to disburse the Escrowed Funds and may, at its option, continue to hold the Escrowed Funds until both Buyer and Seller agree as to their disposition, or until a final judgment is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction directing their disposition, or the Escrow Agent may interplead the Escrowed Funds in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio. Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for the preservation of principal or any interest on the Escrowed Funds except as is actually earned, or for the loss of any interest or principal resulting from the withdrawal of the Escrowed Funds prior to the date interest is posted thereon.
(b) The Escrow Agent may resign upon written notice to the Seller and Buyer. If a successor escrow agent is not appointed by the Seller and Buyer within this thirty (30) day period, the Escrow Agent may, but shall have no duty to, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to name a successor. If no successor escrow agent is appointed within thirty (30) days after such written notice, the Escrow Agent may withhold performance by it pursuant to Section 2.6(a) until such time as a successor escrow agent is appointed and, at such time, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrowed Funds or other documents, instruments or items, if any, delivered to the Escrow Agent hereunder to any such successor escrow agent; provided, however, the Escrow Agent shall act in accordance with any joint written instructions from the Seller and Buyer.
(c) The Escrow Agent may be removed, with or without cause, by the Buyer and Seller acting jointly at any time by providing written notice to the Escrow Agent.
(d) This Section 2.6 shall survive the Closing or the expiration or any termination of this Agreement.

3.1 Due Diligence Period. During the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall have the right to a complete physical inspection of the Property as the Buyer deems appropriate to review and evaluate the Property, the nature and extent of the Property, and operations of the Property, and all rights and liabilities related thereto and shall provide Phil Daetwyler (or such other person as may be designated by Seller) at least two (2) business days’ notice of each and every inspection, Property Agreement correspondence, license application, transfer or assignment (the “Due Diligence Coordination Notice”). Buyer acknowledges that Seller desires to keep the sale and terms of the sale confidential and out of the knowledge of certain of its employees until Closing. In consideration of the execution of this Agreement, Seller agrees to cause to be provided to or made available to Buyer, at no cost to Buyer, all items requested on the attached Exhibit B, via electronic mail submission or electronic data room, in an electronic format from which Buyer can generate an accurate and complete paper copy that is both legible and suitable for inspection and review. Buyer may request that other items be provided by Seller in addition to those specifically listed in Exhibit B, which items shall be mutually agreed upon by the Buyer and Seller in their reasonable discretion. During the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall have reasonable access to the Property at all reasonable times during normal business hours for the purpose of conducting reasonably necessary tests, including surveys and architectural, engineering, geotechnical and environmental inspections and tests, provided that, (a) Buyer will give Seller prior notice of any such inspection or test in accordance with the Due Diligence Coordination Notice and (b) all such tests shall be conducted by Buyer in compliance with Buyer’s responsibilities set forth in Section 3.2 below. In the course of its investigation of the Property, Buyer may make inquiries to third parties such as Existing Manager, parties to Property Agreements and municipal, local and other government officials and representatives; provided that Buyer shall not contact any parties to Property Agreements (other than the applicable Seller or the Existing Manager) without Seller’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may contact and file permit applications with any governmental authorities required to obtain the permits and approvals described in Section 7.8(a) hereof subject to the Due Diligence Coordination Notice. Seller shall cooperate with Buyer’s due diligence during normal business hours so long as Buyer conducts such due diligence during normal business hours and is not disruptive to the operation of Seller’s business at the Property.
3.2 Buyer’s Responsibilities. In conducting any inspections, investigations or tests of the Property, Buyer shall (i) not unreasonably disturb the tenants or interfere with their use of the Property; (ii) not materially or unreasonably interfere with the operation and maintenance of the Property; (iii) not materially damage any part of the Property or any personal property owned or held by any tenant or any third party; (iv) not injure or otherwise cause bodily harm to Seller or its agents, guests, invitees, contractors and employees or any tenants or their guests or invitees; (v) comply in all material respects with all Applicable Laws; and (vi) not permit any Liens to attach to the Property by reason of the exercise of its rights hereunder.
3.3 Title Commitment. Within five (5) days after the execution of this Agreement, Buyer shall order commitments for owner’s policies of title insurance (the “Title Commitment”) issued by the Title Insurer covering fee simple title to the Property, in which the Title Insurer shall agree to insure, in such amount as Buyer deems adequate, merchantable title to such interests free from the Schedule B standard printed exceptions (to the extent Buyer complies with the necessary requirements to remove them such as obtaining an appropriate ALTA survey) and all other exceptions except for (i) exceptions which, under applicable state rules and regulations, cannot be deleted or modified and (ii) Permitted Exceptions, with such endorsements as Buyer shall reasonably require and with insurance coverage over any “gap” period. Such Title Commitments shall have attached thereto complete, legible copies of all instruments noted as exceptions therein, and shall be delivered promptly to Buyer upon receipt by Seller. Buyer shall furnish Seller with a copy of the title commitment and attachments, and all subsequent revisions thereof, promptly upon receipt of same. Seller will provide Buyer with copies of any existing boundary surveys for the Property. Buyer may order one or more boundary surveys for the Property (the “Survey”) prepared by a registered land surveyor or surveyors satisfactory to Buyer.
8 |
If (i) any update to the Title Commitments reflect any exceptions to title other than Permitted Liens which are not acceptable to Buyer in Buyer’s sole discretion, or (ii) the Survey to be obtained by Buyer pursuant to this Section discloses anything not acceptable to Buyer in Buyer’s sole discretion, or (iii) at any time prior to the Closing, title to Seller’s interests in the Property is encumbered by any exception to title other than Permitted Liens, which was not on the initial Title Commitment for the Property and is not acceptable to Buyer in Buyer’s sole discretion (any such exception or unacceptable statement of fact being referred to herein as a “Title Defect”), then Buyer shall, on or before the earlier of five (5) days before the end of the Due Diligence Period or ten (10) days following receipt of such Title Commitment, as the case may be, give Seller written notice of such Title Defect (the “Title Notice”). Such Title Notice shall include a copy of the relevant Title Commitment and copies of the exceptions. Any exception to title that is (x) disclosed in the Title Commitment, or (y) identified on a Survey, which, in either case, is not identified as a Title Defect in the Title Notice, shall be deemed to be a “Permitted Exception” for purposes of this Agreement. Seller shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of any such Title Notice, notify Buyer whether Seller will take the action necessary to remove the Title Defects. On or before the Closing, Seller shall provide Buyer with reasonable evidence of removal of the items it notifies Buyer that it will cure (the “Agreed Upon Title Defects”). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the following items (the “Required Cure Items”) must be cured prior to or at Closing (with Seller having the right to apply the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to either such party pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof, or a portion thereof, for such purpose): (w) all mechanics’, materialmen’s, repairmen’s, contractors’ or other similar Liens which encumber the Property as of the Effective Date created by, through or under Seller or which may be filed against the Property after the Effective Date created by, through or under Seller and on or prior to the Closing Date (x) all mortgages, security deeds, and other security instruments, except for the Existing Mortgages, (y) all Taxes due and payable, and (z) all judgments against the Seller which may constitute a Lien.
All Title Expenses shall be paid by the parties in accordance with Section 9.4 hereof. “Title Expenses” shall include all costs and expenses of obtaining the Survey and Title Commitment, together with any endorsements required by any lender financing the Buyer’s acquisition of the Property. “Title Expenses” shall exclude any costs and expenses incurred or required to be incurred to cure any Title Defects or Required Cure Items.
3.4 Continuing Diligence and Inspection Rights. Following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, and prior to the Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, Buyer or Buyer’s agent(s), consultants, or other retained professionals shall have the right, at Buyer’s expense, to perform or complete such further inspections and assessments of the Property as Buyer deems necessary or desirable to comply with Buyer’s internal requirements or the requirements of Buyer’s lenders, investors, or members, including, without limitation, further inspection of environmental and structural aspects, assessments of the compliance of the Property with all Applicable Laws, and customary pre-closing walk-throughs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all such inspections and assessments by Buyer shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 3.2 above and shall not extend Buyer’s rights to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1(a) hereof.
ARTICLE IV

(a) To the extent necessary and permitted or required by Applicable Laws, Seller shall have completed the transfer and assignment of all the Licenses listed on Exhibit D to the Post-Closing Licensee at or prior to the Closing. To the extent that any such Licenses are not transferable or assignable by Seller, the Post-Closing Licensee shall have obtained, at the Buyer’s sole cost and expense, in the Post-Closing Licensee’s own name, the Licenses, and Seller shall, and shall cause Existing Manager to, reasonably cooperate with the Post-Closing Licensee in obtaining such Licenses at or prior to Closing.

(b) In the event the regulatory authorities (i) assert that there are violations and require repairs or alterations to be made to cure such violations which are, in the aggregate, greater than $5,000.00, or (ii) assess fines as a result of operational issues and require such fines to be paid prior to issuing Licenses to the Post-Closing Licensee or prior to confirming to Buyer that the Licenses are in place, no material violations exist, and the Property is in good standing, the Seller’s performance of all such required repairs and alterations at Seller’s expense and payment of any and all such fines by Seller shall be a condition to Buyer’s Closing. If any operational changes are required by such regulatory authorities as a condition to issuing Licenses, Seller’s implementing such action at Seller’s expense shall be a material obligation and condition to Closing. If Seller fails to take such foregoing actions, Buyer shall have the remedy available under Section 11.2(a).
(c) If any of the Licenses cannot be obtained by the Post-Closing Licensee at or prior to the Closing, alternative arrangements that are reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, Seller, and Tenant shall have been implemented to assure that the Post-Closing Licensee shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, rules and regulations, have the benefit of such Licenses, and Seller and the Post-Closing Licensee shall cooperate and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Licenses for the Post-Closing Licensee or to complete the transfer and assignment of the Licenses by Seller, whichever is applicable, as contemplated in the foregoing sentences promptly after the Closing. For example, but not by way of limitation, in the event the required Licenses have not been transferred, issued or re-issued as of the Closing with respect to the Property, as required by Applicable Law and regulations, Seller, Tenant and the Buyer shall enter into a sublease (the “Transition Period Sublease”), on terms and conditions mutually acceptable to the parties thereto in the form substantially to that attached hereto as Exhibit L, so that the Property may continue to be operated on and after the Closing pending the transfer, issuance or re-issuance of such required Licenses. This subsection shall survive the Closing until the earlier to occur of (i) the issuance of the Licenses to Buyer or Tenant, or (ii) the termination of the Transition Period Sublease, if any.
(d) Sections 7.9(a) and (b) shall survive Closing.

Seller shall have obtained all authorizations, consents, orders, or approvals of, shall have made all declarations or filings with, and shall have allowed the expiration of waiting periods imposed by, any governmental agencies necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

ARTICLE X
INDEMNIFICATION
10.1 General. The rights to indemnification set forth in this ARTICLE X and the other rights described in this Agreement shall be in addition to all other rights to monetary damages that any party (or the party’s successors or permitted assigns) would otherwise have by Applicable Law in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Document; provided, however, that neither party shall have the right to be compensated more than once for the same monetary damage.
10.2 Indemnification by Seller. From and after Closing, Seller shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Buyer, Tenant and each of their officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, Affiliates, successors and assigns from and against, and pay or reimburse each of them for and with respect to, any Loss relating to, arising out of or resulting from any of the following:
(a) Any breach by Seller of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement or any other Document; and
(b) The ownership, operation or control of the Property prior to the Closing, including without limitation, any and all liabilities which relate to events occurring prior to the Closing, regardless of when they are asserted or whether such was disclosed to Buyer and regardless of whether such was a breach of any representation, warranty, or covenant by Seller, except for (i) Assumed Obligations, and (ii) obligations, indebtedness or liabilities to the extent of any Adjustment Amount credited to the Buyer.
(c) Claims by any other party claiming to have represented Seller as broker or agent in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
10.3 Indemnification by Buyer. From and after Closing, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, Affiliates, successors and assigns from and against, and pay or reimburse each of them for and with respect to any Loss relating to, arising out of or resulting from any of the following:
(a) Any material breach by Buyer of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement or any other Document; and
(b) The ownership, operation or control of the Property after the Closing, including the Assumed Obligations, but excluding any obligations, indebtedness or liabilities to the extent of any Adjustment Amount credited to Seller.
(c) Claims by any other party claiming to have represented Buyer as broker or agent in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
10.4 Administration of Indemnification. For purposes of administering the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 10.2 and Section 10.3, the following procedure shall apply:
(a) Whenever a claim shall arise for indemnification under this ARTICLE X, the party entitled to indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give a reasonably prompt written notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) setting forth in reasonable detail, to the extent then available, the facts concerning the nature of such claim and the basis upon which the Indemnified Party believes that it is entitled to indemnification hereunder.
23 |
(b) In the event of any claim for indemnification resulting from or in connection with any claim by a third party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, at its sole expense, either (i) to participate in defending against such claim or (ii) to assume the entire defense with counsel which is selected by it and which is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, provided that no settlement shall be made and no judgment consented to without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If, however, (x) the claim, action, suit or proceeding would, if successful, result in the imposition of damages for which the Indemnifying Party would not be solely responsible, or (y) representation of both parties by the same counsel would otherwise be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, then the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the entire defense and each party shall be entitled to retain counsel who shall cooperate with one another in defending against such claim. In the case of clause (x), the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to bear only that portion of the expense of the Indemnified Party’s counsel that is in proportion to the damages indemnifiable by the Indemnifying Party compared to the total amount of the third-party claim against the Indemnified Party. In the case of clause (y), the Indemnifying Party shall pay all costs of defense of both itself and the actual, reasonable, out-of-pocket costs of the Indemnified Party.
(c) If the Indemnifying Party does not choose to defend against a claim by a third party, the Indemnified Party may defend in such manner as it deems appropriate or settle the claim (after giving notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party) on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate, and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to periodic reimbursement from the Indemnifying Party of reasonable defense expenses incurred and prompt indemnification from the Indemnifying Party in accordance with this ARTICLE X.
(d) Failure or delay by an Indemnified Party to give a reasonably prompt notice of any claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect an Indemnifying Party’s obligations with respect to the claim, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party can demonstrate actual Loss or prejudice as a result of such failure or delay. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties agree that no indemnification right or obligation shall apply to the extent any such Loss or expense is paid to an Indemnified Party by an insurance company.
(e) The right to pursue indemnification as set forth in Sections 10.2(a) and 10.3(a) shall survive the Closing hereunder for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Closing, and the right to pursue indemnification as set forth in all other Sections of this ARTICLE X shall survive the Closing hereunder indefinitely.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the right to pursue indemnification as set forth in this ARTICLE X shall be actionable or payable only if valid claims for Losses, if any, collectively aggregate more than TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND and No/100 U.S. Dollars ($25,000.00 (the “Floor”), provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply in the case of fraud on the part of Buyer, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates, or to any claims arising under Section 10.2(b) or Section 10.3(b) (none of which shall be limited in any manner whatsoever). In addition, Buyer agrees to concurrently seek recovery against Seller, under any insurance policies, the Title Policy and other applicable agreements, and Seller shall not be liable to Buyer to the extent Buyer’s claim is actually satisfied from any sums recovered from such insurance policies, Title Policy or other applicable agreements. FINALLY, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY EVER BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OTHER THAN IN THE EVENT OF FRAUD.
10.5 Guaranty. In order to secure the indemnities provided by Seller and other obligations of Seller provided for herein, at Closing, Michael Wojno, Randy Theken and Philip Maynard agree to provide a personal, joint and several, guaranty to Buyer in the cumulative amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (the “Guaranty”) for a period of eighteen (18) months from the Closing in the form attached as Exhibit J to this Agreement.

Any item disclosed hereunder (including in the Schedules and Exhibits hereto) shall be deemed disclosed for all purposes hereof irrespective of the specific representation or warranty to which it is explicitly referenced. The Schedules and Exhibits shall be prepared by Seller and mutually agreed to by the parties within five (5) business days after the Effective Date. The parties agree to cooperate and act in good faith during the preparation of such documents.

In the event either party brings an action to enforce or interpret any of the provisions of this Agreement, the “prevailing party” in such action shall, in addition to any other recovery, be entitled to its costs, fees and expenses incurred in the dispute, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ and expert witness. For purposes of this Section 12.14, “prevailing party” shall mean, in the case of a person asserting a claim, such person is successful in obtaining substantially all of the relief sought, and in the case of a person defending against or responding to a claim, such person is successful in denying substantially all of the relief sought.
12.15 Reserved.
12.16 Casualty. The risk of any loss or damage to the Property by fire or other casualty before the Closing shall continue to be borne by Seller.

If (i) any portion of the Property is damaged by fire or casualty after the Effective Date and is not repaired and restored substantially to its original condition prior to Closing, or (ii) at the time of Closing the estimated cost of repairs as to the Property is ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND U.S. DOLLARS ($100,000.00) or less, as determined by an independent adjuster selected by Seller, Buyer shall be required to purchase the Property in accordance with this Agreement, and Buyer shall, at Buyer’s option, either: (x) receive a credit at Closing of the estimated cost or repairs to the Property, as determined by the aforesaid independent adjuster, plus any reasonably estimated lost revenue following Closing arising from such fire or casualty; or (y) receive from Seller at Closing (I) an assignment, without representation or warranty by or recourse against Seller, of all insurance claims and proceeds with respect thereto, plus (II) an amount equal to Seller’s insurance deductible, plus (III) a credit for the amount of any reasonably estimated lost revenue following Closing arising from such fire or casualty. If the estimated cost of repairing such damage to the Property is more than ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND U.S. DOLLARS ($100,000.00), as determined by such independent adjuster, Buyer may, at its sole option: (x) terminate this Agreement by notice to Seller on or before the earlier of the Closing or the tenth (10th) day after receipt of such notice described above, in which event no party shall have any further liability to the party under this Agreement; or (y) proceed to Closing as provided in this Section 12.16. In no event shall the amount of insurance proceeds assigned to Buyer under this subparagraph (plus the amount of the deductible) exceed the lesser of (i) the cost of repair or (ii) the Purchase Price.

In the event any condemnation proceeding is commenced or threatened, Seller shall promptly give Buyer written notice thereof (in any event within five (5) days after Seller first has Knowledge of the occurrence of same), together with such reasonable details with respect thereto as to which Seller may have Knowledge. If, prior to Closing, there is a material taking by eminent domain at the Property, this Agreement shall become null and void at Buyer’s option, and upon receipt by Seller of the written notice of an election by Buyer to treat this Agreement as null and void, this Agreement shall be deemed null and void. If Buyer elects to proceed and to consummate the purchase despite said material taking, or if there is less than a material taking prior to Closing, there shall be no reduction in or abatement of the Purchase Price and Buyer shall be required to purchase the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and Seller shall assign to Buyer, without representation of warranty by or recourse against Seller, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to any award made or to be made in the condemnation proceeding (in which event Buyer shall have the right to participate in the adjustment and settlement of any insurance claim relating to said damage). For the purpose of this Section 12.17, the term “material” shall mean any taking of in excess of five percent (5%) of the square footage of the Property or ten percent (10%) of the Real Property associated with the Property. The parties’ obligations, if any, under this Section 12.17 shall survive the expiration or any termination of this Agreement.

Each Borrower agrees that all of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1 and elsewhere in this Agreement are true as of the date hereof, will be true at the Loan Opening and, except for matters which have been disclosed by Borrowers and approved by Agent in writing, at all times thereafter.

Thereafter, all rent received by Borrowers under the Operating Leases shall be deposited in the Project Rent Accounts and all cash flow from each Project received by Operators shall be deposited in the applicable Project Operating Account. During the existence of an Event of Default, all such rent and cash flow shall be available for payment of debt service on the Loan, and Agent, for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders, is authorized to pay principal or interest due upon the Notes during the existence of an Event of Default as well as real estate taxes if the same are not paid by the applicable Borrower or Operator prior to delinquency by debiting funds on deposit in the Project Rent Accounts and the Project Operating Accounts.

The terms and provisions of this Section 4.3 (and any extension of the Original Maturity Date pursuant hereto) shall not constitute a waiver of the requirement that any modification of the Note or any of the Loan Documents shall require the express written approval of Agent, no such approval (either expressed or implied) having been given as of the date hereof (other than as expressly set forth herein). The Extension Option shall automatically expire and terminate, and shall thereafter be null and void, if Borrowers do not duly elect such Extension Option expressly in accordance therewith.
(b) Borrowers shall have the right to extend the Original Maturity Date through the Extended Maturity Date (“Extension Option”) provided that Borrowers satisfy the following conditions precedent:

(v) Borrowers shall pay all reasonable expenses not to exceed $5,000.00, including (without limitation) reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, incurred by Agent in connection with determining whether the conditions set forth in this Agreement are fully satisfied and the resulting granting of or refusal to grant the Extension Option by the Lenders (and in connection with the preparation and execution of any documentation therefor).
4.4. Prepayments.
Borrowers shall have the right to make prepayments of the Loan, in whole or in part, without prepayment penalty other than any Breakage Costs so long as each such prepayment is made (i) upon not less than seven (7) days’ prior written notice to Agent, and (ii) in minimum increments of $500,000.00. No prepayment of all or part of the Loan shall be permitted unless same is made together with the payment of all interest accrued on the Loan through the date of prepayment and an amount equal to all Breakage Costs and attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred by each Lender as a result of the prepayment.
4.5. Required Principal Payments.
In addition to and not in lieu of each monthly interest payment required under Section 5.1(a), if Borrowers exercise the Extension Option in accordance herewith, principal under the Notes shall be due and payable in monthly installments, commencing on November 10, 2017, and continuing on the tenth (10th) day of each successive month thereafter until the Extended Maturity Date.

INTEREST
5.1. Interest Rate.
(a) The Loan will bear interest at the Applicable Rate, unless the Default Rate is applicable. Except as expressly provided herein, the Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall be the “Applicable Rate”. Borrowers shall pay interest in arrears on the tenth (10th) day of every calendar month in the amount of all interest accrued and unpaid. All payments (whether of principal or of interest) shall be deemed credited to Borrowers’ account only if received by 12:00 noon Brooklyn, Ohio, time on a Business Day; otherwise, such payment shall be deemed received on the next Business Day.
SECURED LOAN AGREEMENT | Page 17 |
(b) If Agent determines in its reasonable discretion (i) that Dollar deposits in an amount approximately equal to the Loan for the designated LIBOR Rate Interest Period are not generally available at such time in the London interbank market for deposits in Dollars, (ii) that the rate at which such deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lenders of maintaining a LIBOR Rate on such portion of the Loan or of funding the same for such LIBOR Rate Interest Period due to circumstances affecting the London interbank market generally, (iii) that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining a LIBOR Rate, or (iv) that an Adjusted LIBOR Rate would be in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrowers may by law pay, then, in any such event, Agent shall so notify Borrowers and all portions of the Loan bearing interest at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate that are so affected shall, as of the date of such notification with respect to an event described in clause (ii) or (iv) above, or as of the expiration of the applicable LIBOR Rate Interest Period with respect to an event described in clause (i) or (iii) above, bear interest at the Adjusted Base Rate (or such lower rate as required by applicable law) until such time as the situations described above are no longer in effect or can be avoided, at which time the Loan shall again accrue interest at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate. At no time may there be more than three (3) LIBOR Rate Interest Periods in effect with respect to the Loan.
(c) Interest at the Applicable Rate (or Default Rate) shall be calculated for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year, including the first date of the applicable period to, but not including, the date of repayment.
(d) Borrowers shall pay all Breakage Costs incurred from time to time by Lenders upon demand.
(e) If the introduction of or any change in any Law, regulation or treaty, or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof, shall make it unlawful for Lender to maintain the Applicable Rate at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate with respect to the Loan or any portion thereof, or to fund the Loan or any portion thereof in Dollars in the London interbank market, or to give effect to its obligations regarding the accrual of interest on the Loan at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate as contemplated by the Loan Documents, then (1) Agent shall notify Borrowers that Lenders are no longer able to maintain the Applicable Rate at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate, (2) the Applicable Rate for any portion of the Loan for which the Applicable Rate is then an Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall automatically be converted to the Adjusted Base Rate, and (3) Borrowers shall pay to Agent the amount of Breakage Costs (if any) incurred in connection with such conversion. Thereafter, the Loan shall accrue interest at the Adjusted Base Rate until such time as the situation described herein is no longer in effect or can be avoided, at which time the Loan shall again accrue interest at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate.
(f) The Loan shall bear interest at the Default Rate upon the election of the Lenders at any time at which an Event of Default shall exist.

COSTS OF MAINTAINING LOAN
6.1. Increased Costs and Capital Adequacy.
(a) Borrowers recognize that the cost to the Lenders of maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof may fluctuate and, Borrowers agree to pay Agent for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders additional amounts to compensate the Lenders for any increase in its actual costs incurred in maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof outstanding or for the reduction of any amounts received or receivable from Borrowers as a result of:
(i) any change after the date hereof in any applicable Law, regulation or treaty, or in the interpretation or administration thereof, or by any domestic or foreign court, (A) changing the basis of taxation of payments under this Agreement to Agent (other than taxes imposed on all or any portion of the overall net income or receipts of any Lender), or (B) imposing, modifying or applying any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds for loans by Lenders (which includes the Loan or any applicable portion thereof), or (C) imposing on any Lender, or the London interbank market generally, any other condition affecting the Loan, provided that the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable from Borrower by Lenders under the Loan Documents; or
SECURED LOAN AGREEMENT | Page 18 |
(ii) the maintenance by any Lender of reserves in accordance with reserve requirements promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States with respect to “Eurocurrency Liabilities” of a similar term to that of the applicable portion of the Loan (without duplication for reserves already accounted for in the calculation of a LIBOR Rate pursuant to the terms hereof).
(b) If the application of any Law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted or arising out of the July, 1988 report of the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards”, or the adoption after the date hereof of any other Law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change after the date hereof in any of the foregoing, or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any domestic or foreign Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Lender, with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital to a level below that which Lender would have achieved but for such application, adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of Lender with respect to capital adequacy), then, from time to time Borrowers shall pay to Lender such additional amounts as will compensate Lender for such reduction with respect to any portion of the Loan outstanding.
(c) Any amount payable by Borrowers under subsection (a) or subsection (b) of this Section 6.1 shall be paid within ten (10) days of receipt by Borrowers of a certificate signed by an authorized officer of Agent setting forth the amount due and the basis for the determination of such amount, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrowers, absent manifest error. Failure on the part of Agent to demand payment from Borrowers for any such amount attributable to any particular period shall not constitute a waiver of each Lender’s right to demand payment of such amount for any subsequent or prior period. Agent shall use reasonable efforts to deliver to Borrowers prompt notice of any event described in subsection (a) or (b) above, of the amount of the reserve and capital adequacy payments resulting therefrom and the reasons therefor and of the basis of calculation of such amount; provided, however, that any failure by Agent to so notify Borrowers shall not affect Borrowers’ obligation to pay the reserve and capital adequacy payment resulting therefrom.
6.2. Borrower Withholding.
If by reason of a change in any applicable Laws occurring after the date hereof, any Borrower is required by Law to make any deduction or withholding in respect of any taxes (other than taxes imposed on or measured by the net income of any Lender or any franchise tax imposed on any Lender), duties or other charges from any payment due under the Notes, the sums due from such Borrower in respect of such payment shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, Lender receives and retains a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required to be made.

The Agent may designate any Eligible Assignee accepting an assignment of a specified portion of the Loan to be a Co-Agent, an “Arranger” or similar title, but such designation shall not confer on such Assignee the rights or duties of the Agent. Upon such execution, delivery, approval and acceptance, and upon the effective date specified in the applicable Assignment and Assumption, (a) the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and Borrowers hereby agree that all of the rights and remedies of Lenders in connection with the interest so assigned shall be enforceable against Borrowers by an Eligible Assignee with the same force and effect and to the same extent as the same would have been enforceable but for such assignment, and (b) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations hereunder and thereunder.

(d) Upon receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Eligible Assignee, Agent shall, if such Assignment and Assumption has been properly completed and consented to if required herein, accept such Assignment and Assumption, and record the information contained therein in its records, and the Agent shall use its best efforts to give prompt notice thereof to Borrowers (provided that neither the Agent nor the Lenders shall be liable for any failure to give such notice).
(e) Borrowers shall, at no cost or expense to Borrowers, use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Agent and each Lender in connection with the assignment of interests under this Agreement or the sale of participations herein.

To facilitate any such pledge or assignment, the Agent shall, at the request of such Lender, enter into a letter agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank in, or substantially in, the form of the exhibit to Appendix C to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York Operating Circular No. 12.
(g) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, any Lender may assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to another branch or Affiliate of such Lender without first obtaining the approval of any Agent or the Borrowers, provided that (i) such Lender remains liable hereunder unless the Borrowers and Agent shall otherwise agree, (ii) at the time of such assignment such Lender is not a Defaulting Lender, (iii) such Lender gives the Agent and Borrower at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice of any such assignment; (iv) the parties to each such assignment execute and deliver to Agent an Assignment and Assumption, and (v) the Agent receives from the assigning Lender a processing fee of One Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($1,500).
(h) Each Lender shall have the right, without the consent of the Borrowers, to sell participations to one or more Eligible Assignees in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan and the Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation its Commitment to Borrower hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations (iii) the Borrowers, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and with regard to any and all payments to be made under this Agreement and (iv) the holder of any such participation shall not be entitled to voting rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (but such holder may contract with the Lender selling such Eligible Assignee its interest in such Lender’s share of the Loan as to voting of such Lender’s interest under Section 20.6(b) [but not under any other section of this Agreement], provided that any such agreement by a Lender shall bind only such Lender alone and not Borrowers, the other Lenders or the Agent).
(i) No Eligible Assignee of any rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be permitted to subassign such rights and obligations. No participant in any rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be permitted to sell subparticipations of such rights and obligations.
SECURED LOAN AGREEMENT | Page 38 |
(j) Borrowers acknowledge and agree that Lenders may provide to any Eligible Assignee or participant originals or copies of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and any other documents, instruments, certificates, opinions, insurance policies, letters of credit, reports, requisitions and other materials and information of every nature or description, and may communicate all oral information, at any time submitted by or on behalf of Borrowers or received by any Lender in connection with the Loan or with respect to Borrowers, provided that prior to any such delivery or communication, such Eligible Assignees or participants shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any of the foregoing to the same extent that such Lender agreed to preserve such confidentiality. In order to facilitate assignments to Eligible Assignees and sales to Eligible Assignees, Borrowers shall execute such further documents, instruments or agreements as Lenders may reasonably require; provided, that no Borrower shall be required (i) to execute any document or agreement which would materially decrease its rights, or materially increase its obligations, relative to those set forth in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (including financial obligations, personal recourse, representations and warranties and reporting requirements), or (ii) to expend more than incidental sums of money or incidental administrative time for which it does not receive reasonable reimbursement in order to comply with any requests or requirements of any Lender in connection with such assignment or sale arrangement. In addition, Borrowers agrees to cooperate fully with Lenders in the exercise of Lenders’ rights pursuant to this Section, including providing such information and documentation regarding Borrower as any Lender or any potential Eligible Assignee or participant may reasonably request and to meet with potential Eligible Assignees.
19.2. Several Liability.
Anything in this Agreement contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Lender to Borrowers under this Agreement are several and not joint and several; each Lender shall only be obligated to fund its Percentage of each disbursement to be made hereunder up to the amount of its Commitment. During any time, and only during such time, as Agent is the sole Lender and has not assigned any portion or portions of its interest in the Loan to another Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, Agent in its individual capacity shall be liable for all of the obligations of the Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. From and after the date that Agent as the sole Lender assigns any portion or portions of its interest in the Loan to another Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, then Agent shall act as the administrative agent on behalf of itself as a Lender and the other Lenders.
ARTICLE
20
AGENT
20.1. Appointment.
KeyBank National Association is hereby appointed as Agent hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent to act as agent for such Lender and to take such actions as such Lender is obligated or entitled to take under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Agent agrees to act as such upon the express conditions contained in this Article in substantially the same manner that it would act in dealing with a loan held for its own account. Agent shall not have a fiduciary relationship with respect to any Lender by reason of this Agreement.
The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and Borrowers shall not have any rights to rely on or enforce any of the provisions hereof except as provided in Section 20.2 below. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, the Agent shall act solely as agent of Lender and does not assume, and shall not be deemed to have assumed, any obligations toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for the Borrowers.
20.2. Reliance on Agent.
All acts of and communications by the Agent, as agent for the Lenders, shall be deemed legally conclusive and binding; and Borrower or any third party (including any court) shall rely on any and all communications or acts of the Agent with respect to the exercise of any rights or the granting of any consent, waiver or approval on behalf of a Lender in all circumstances where an action by such Lender is required or permitted pursuant to this Agreement or the provisions of any other Loan Document or by applicable law without the right or necessity of making any inquiry of any individual Lender as to the authority of Agent with respect to such matter. In no event shall any of the foregoing limit the rights or obligations of any Lender with respect to any other Lender pursuant to this Article 20.
SECURED LOAN AGREEMENT | Page 39 |
20.3. Powers.
The Agent shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto or are otherwise necessary or desirable in connection with the administration of the Loan, and may exercise all other powers of Lenders as are not made subject to the consent of the Required Lenders pursuant to Section 20.6(a) or to the consent of all Lenders pursuant to Section 20.6(b). Without limiting the foregoing, the Agent may consent to or execute easements, plats, dedications, release of minor portions of the collateral and similar documents. The Agent shall not be considered, or be deemed, a separate agent of the Lenders hereunder, but is, and shall be deemed, acting in its contractual capacity as Agent, exercising such rights and powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Agent or Agent is otherwise entitled to take hereunder. Agent shall have no implied duties to the Lenders, or any obligation to the Lenders to take any action except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents to be taken by the Agent.
20.4. Disbursements.
(a) At least one (1) Business Day (by 11:00 a.m. Cleveland time) prior to the date the Loan is to be disbursed hereunder pursuant to this Agreement (or at least two (2) LIBOR Business Days [by 11:00 a.m. Cleveland time] for such disbursement to be made at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate), the Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed disbursement. Each Lender shall make available to Agent (or the funding Lender or entity designated by the Agent), the amount of such Lender’s Percentage of such disbursement (with respect to such Lender, such amount being referred to herein as an “Advance”) in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) on the date such disbursement is to be made (such date being referred to herein as a “Funding Date”). Unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to such time for funding in respect of any Advance that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Agent such Lender’s Advance, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Agent and the Agent, in its sole discretion, may, but shall not be obligated to, make available to Borrowers a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Agent by such Lender on or prior to the respective Funding Date, such Lender agrees to pay and Borrowers agree to repay to Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to Borrowers until the date such amount is paid or repaid to Agent, at (A) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and (B) in the case of Borrowers, the interest rate applicable at the time to a disbursement made on such Funding Date. If such Lender shall pay to Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance, and if both such Lender and Borrowers shall have paid and repaid, respectively, such corresponding amount, Agent shall promptly return to Borrowers such corresponding amount in same day funds.
(b) Requests by the Agent for funding by the Lenders of disbursements of the Loan will be made by facsimile. Each Lender shall make its Advance available to the Agent in dollars and in immediately available funds to such Lender and account as the Agent may designate, not later than Noon (Cleveland time) on the Funding Date. Nothing in this Section 20.4 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender of its obligation hereunder to make any Advance on any Funding Date, nor shall any Lender be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to perform its obligations to make any Advance hereunder, and the Commitment of any Lender shall not be increased or decreased as a result of the failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make any Advances hereunder.
SECURED LOAN AGREEMENT | Page 40 |
20.5. Distribution and Apportionment of Payments.
(a) Subject to Section 20.5(b), payments actually received by Agent for the account of the Lenders shall be paid to them promptly after receipt thereof by Agent, but in any event within one (1) Business Day, provided that, if any such payments are not distributed to the Lenders within one (1) Business Day after Agent’s receipt thereof, Agent shall pay to such Lenders interest thereon, at the lesser of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) if the applicable payment represents repayment of a portion of the principal of the Loan, the rate of interest applicable to such portion of the Loan, from the date of receipt of such funds by Agent until such funds are paid in immediately available funds to such Lenders provided such funds are received by Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (Cleveland time) on the date of receipt. All payments of principal and interest in respect of the Loan, all payments of the fees described in this Agreement (but not in any separate fee letter except to the extent expressly set forth therein), and all payments in respect of any other obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be allocated among such of Lenders as are entitled thereto, in proportion of their respective Percentages or otherwise as provided herein in the other Loan Documents, as the case may be. The Agent shall distribute to each Lender at its primary address set forth herein or in its Assignment and Assumption, or at such other address as a Lender may request in writing, such funds as it may be entitled to receive, provided that the Agent shall in any event not be bound to inquire into or determine the validity, scope or priority of any interest or entitlement of any Lender and may suspend all payments and seek appropriate relief (including without limitation instructions from the Required Lenders, or all Lenders, as applicable, or an action in the nature of interpleader) in the event of any doubt or dispute as to any apportionment or distribution contemplated hereby. The order of priority herein is set forth solely to determine the rights and priorities of the Lenders as among themselves and may at any time or from time to time be changed by the Lenders as they may elect, in writing, without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by Borrowers.
(b) If a Lender (a “Defaulting Lender”) defaults in making any Advance or paying any other sum payable by it hereunder, such sum together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such amount was due until repaid (such sum and interest thereon as aforesaid referred to, collectively, as the “Lender Default Obligation”) shall be payable by the Defaulting Lender (i) to any Lender(s) which elect, at their sole option (and with no obligation to do so), to fund the amount which the Defaulting Lender failed to fund or (ii) to Agent or any other Lender which under the terms of this Agreement is entitled to reimbursement from the Defaulting Lender for the amounts advanced or expended. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, until such time as a Defaulting Lender has repaid the Lender Default Obligation in full, all amounts which would otherwise be distributed to the Defaulting Lender shall instead be applied first to repay the Lender Default Obligation (to be applied first to interest at the Default Rate and then to principal) until the Lender Default Obligation has been repaid in full (whether by such application or by cure by the Defaulting Lender), whereupon such Lender shall no longer be a Defaulting Lender. Any interest collected from Borrowers on account of principal advanced by any Lender(s) on behalf of a Defaulting Lender shall be paid to the Lender(s) who made such advance and shall be credited against the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to pay interest on the amount advanced at the Default Rate. If no other Lender makes an advance a Defaulting Lender failed to fund, a portion of the indebtedness of Borrowers to the Defaulting Lender equal to the Lender Default Obligation shall be subordinated to the indebtedness of Borrowers to all other Lenders and shall be paid only after the indebtedness of Borrowers to all other Lenders is paid. The provisions of this Section shall apply and be effective regardless of whether an Event of Default occurs and is then continuing, and notwithstanding (i) any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary or (ii) any instruction of Borrowers as to their desired application of payments. No Defaulting Lender shall have the right to vote on matters which are subject to the consent or approval of Required Lenders or all Lenders and while any Lender is a Defaulting Lender the requisite percentage of Lenders which constitutes the Required Lenders shall be calculated exclusive of the Percentage of the Defaulting Lender. The Agent shall be entitled to (i) withhold or set off, and to apply to the payment of the Lender Default Obligation any amounts to be paid to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, and (ii) bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the Lender Default Obligation and, to the extent such recovery would not fully compensate the Lenders for the Defaulting Lender’s breach of this Agreement, to collect damages. In addition, the Defaulting Lender shall indemnify, defend and hold Agent and each of the other Lenders harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses), plus interest thereon at the Default Rate, for funds advanced by Agent or any other Lender on account of the Defaulting Lender or any other damages such persons may sustain or incur by reason of or as a direct consequence of the Defaulting Lender’s failure or refusal to abide by its obligations under this Agreement.
(c) At least five Business Days prior to the first date on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for the account of any Lender, each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America, or a state thereof, agrees that it will deliver to the Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN or W-8 ECI, certifying in either case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and the Note without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. Each Lender which so delivers a Form W-8 BEN or W-8 ECI further undertakes to deliver the Agent two additional copies of such form (or a successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, and such amendments thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by the Agent, in each case certifying that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and the Note without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender advises the Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.
SECURED LOAN AGREEMENT | Page 41 |
20.6. Consents and Approvals.
(a) Each of the following shall require the approval or consent of the Required Lenders:
(i) The exercise of any rights and remedies under the Loan Documents following an Event of Default, provided that absent any direction from the Required Lenders, Agent may exercise any right or remedy under the Loan Documents as Agent may determine in good faith to be necessary or appropriate to protect the Lenders or the collateral securing the Loan;
(ii) Appointment of a successor Agent;
(iii) Approval of Post-Default Plan (defined in Section 20.7(d)); and
(iv) Except as referred to in subsection (b) below, approval of any amendment or modification of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or issuance of any waiver of any material provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;
(b) Each of the following shall require the approval or consent of all the Lenders:
(i) Extension of the Maturity Date (beyond any extension permitted herein) or forgiveness of all or any portion of the principal amount of the Loan or any accrued interest thereon, or any other amendment of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents which would reduce the interest rate options or the rate at which fees are calculated or forgive any loan fee, or extend the time of payment of any principal, interest or fees;
(ii) Reduction of the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders;
(iii) Increasing the amount of the Loan or any non-consenting Lender’s Commitment;
(iv) Release of any lien on any material collateral (except as Borrowers are entitled to under the Loan Documents); and
(v) Amendment of the provisions of this Section 20.6.
(c) In addition to the required consents or approvals referred to in subsections (a) and (b) above, the Agent may at any time request instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which, by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Loan Documents, the Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant without instructions from any Lenders, and if such instructions are promptly requested, the Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever for refraining from taking any action or withholding any approval under any of the Loan Documents until it shall have received such instructions from the Required Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders or, where applicable, all Lenders. The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender at any time that the Required Lenders have instructed the Agent to act or refrain from acting pursuant hereto.
SECURED LOAN AGREEMENT | Page 42 |
(d) Each Lender authorizes and directs the Agent to enter into the Loan Documents other than this Agreement for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by the Agent at the direction or with the consent of the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and the exercise by the Agent at the direction or with the consent of the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all Lenders, except for actions specifically requiring the approval of all Lenders. All communications from the Agent to the Lenders requesting Lenders’ determination, consent, approval or disapproval (i) shall be given in the form of a written notice to each Lender, (ii) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or item as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise each Lender where such matter or item may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (iii) shall include, if reasonably requested by a Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials and a summary of all oral information provided to the Agent by Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved, and (iv) shall include the Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof. Each Lender shall reply promptly, but in any event within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the request therefor from the Agent (the “Lender Reply Period”). Unless a Lender shall give written notice to the Agent that it objects to the recommendation or determination of the Agent (together with a written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within the Lender Reply Period, such Lender shall be deemed to have approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination. With respect to decisions requiring the approval of the Required Lenders or all Lenders, the Agent shall upon receiving the required approval or consent follow the course of action or determination recommended to the Lenders by the Agent or such other course of action recommended by the Required Lenders.
20.7. Agency Provisions Relating to Collateral.
(a) The Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, at any time and from time to time, to take any action with respect to any collateral for the Loan or any Loan Document which may be necessary to preserve and maintain such collateral or to perfect and maintain perfected the liens upon such collateral granted pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(b) Except as provided in this Agreement, the Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender or to any other person or entity to assure that any collateral exists or is owned by any Borrower or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the liens granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or pursuant hereto or thereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority.
(c) Should the Agent commence any proceeding or in any way seek to enforce the Agent’s or the Lenders’ rights or remedies under the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether as a result thereof the Agent shall acquire title to any collateral, each Lender, upon demand therefor from time to time, shall contribute its share (based on its Percentage) of the reasonable costs and/or expenses of any such enforcement or acquisition, including, but not limited to, fees of receivers or trustees, court costs, title company charges, filing and recording fees, appraisers’ fees and fees and expenses of attorneys to the extent not otherwise reimbursed by Borrowers. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender shall contribute its share (based on its Percentage) of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Agent (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) if the Agent employs counsel for advice or other representation (whether or not any suit has been or shall be filed) with respect to any collateral for the Loan or any part thereof, or any of the Loan Documents, or the attempt to enforce any security interest or lien on any collateral, or to enforce any rights of the Agent or the Lenders or any of Borrowers’ or any other party’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents, but not with respect to any dispute between Agent and any other Lender(s). It is understood and agreed that in the event the Agent determines it is necessary to engage counsel for Lender from and after the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, said counsel shall be selected by the Agent and written notice of such selection, together with a copy of such counsel’s engagement letter and fee estimate, shall be delivered to the Lenders.
SECURED LOAN AGREEMENT | Page 43 |
(d) In the event that all or any portion of the collateral for the Loan is acquired by the Agent as the result of the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or is retained in satisfaction of all or any part of Borrowers’ obligations under the Loan Documents, title to any such collateral or any portion thereof shall be held in the name of the Agent or a nominee or subsidiary of Agent, as agent, for the ratable benefit of the Agent and the Lenders. The Agent shall prepare a recommended course of action for such collateral (the “Post-Default Plan”), which shall be subject to the approval of the Required Lenders. The Agent shall administer the collateral in accordance with the Post-Default Plan, and upon demand therefor from time to time, each Lender will contribute its share (based on its Percentage) of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Agent pursuant to the Post-Default Plan, including without limitation, any operating losses and all necessary operating reserves. To the extent there is net operating income from such collateral, the Agent shall, in accordance with the Post-Default Plan, determine the amount and timing of distributions to Lenders. All such distributions shall be made to Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages. In no event shall the provisions of this subsection or the Post-Default Plan require the Agent or any Lender to take an action which would cause such Lender to be in violation of any applicable regulatory requirements.
20.8. Lender Actions Against Borrower or the Collateral.
Each Lender agrees that it will not take any action, nor institute any actions or proceedings, against any Borrower or any other person hereunder or under any other Loan Documents with respect to exercising claims against such Borrower or rights in any collateral without the consent of the Required Lenders. With respect to any action by the Agent to enforce the rights and remedies of the Agent and Lenders with respect to such Borrower and any collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, each Lender hereby consents to the jurisdiction of the court in which such action is maintained.
20.9. Assignment and Participation.
No Lender shall be permitted to assign or sell all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Borrower or any Affiliate of any Borrower.
20.10. Ratable Sharing.
Subject to Sections 20.4 and 20.5, Lenders agree among themselves that (i) with respect to all amounts received by them which are applicable to the payment of the Loan, equitable adjustment will be made so that, in effect, all such amounts will be shared among them ratably in accordance with their Percentages, whether received by voluntary payment, by the exercise of the right of set-off or bankers’ lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any or all of the Loan Documents or any collateral and (ii) if any of them shall by voluntary payment or by the exercise of any right of counterclaim, set-off, bankers’ lien or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of the Loan held by it which is greater than its Percentage of the payments on account of the Loan, the one receiving such excess payment shall purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (which it shall be deemed to have done simultaneously upon the receipt of such payment) in such obligations owed to the others so that all such recoveries with respect to such obligations shall be applied ratably in accordance with their Percentages; provided, that if all or part of such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to that party to the extent necessary to adjust for such recovery, but without interest except to the extent the purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with such recovery. Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrowers in the amount of such participation.
20.11. General Immunity.
Neither Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to Borrowers or any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the absence of gross negligence, the Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith pursuant to Section 20.5, 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 the recipients of such payments any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to have been entitled.
SECURED LOAN AGREEMENT | Page 44 |
20.12. No Responsibility for Loan, Recitals, etc..
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 (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan Document or any use of the Loan; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any party to any Loan Document; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in this Agreement, except receipt of items purporting to be the items required to be delivered to any Agent; or (iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith, provided that the foregoing shall not release Agent from liability for its gross negligence or willful misconduct.
20.13. Action on Instructions of Lenders.
The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with written instructions signed by all the Lenders (or the Required Lenders, if such action may be directed hereunder by the Required Lenders), and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of Lenders. Each Lender, severally to the extent of its Percentage, hereby agrees to indemnify Agent against and hold it harmless from any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action, provided that the foregoing shall not release Agent from liability for its gross negligence or willful misconduct.
20.14. Employment of Agents and Counsel.
The Agent may undertake any of its duties as Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be liable to Lenders, except as to money or securities received by them or their authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to the agency hereby created and its duties hereunder and under any other Loan Document.
20.15. Reliance on Documents; Counsel.
The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and, in respect to legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected by the Agent, which counsel may be an employee of Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not release the Agent from liability for its gross negligence or willful misconduct. Any such counsel shall be deemed to be acting on behalf of Lender in assisting the Agent with respect to the Loan, but shall not be precluded from also representing Agent in any matter in which the interests of Agent and the other Lenders may differ.
20.16. Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification.
Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify Agent ratably (i) for any amounts (excluding principal and interest on the Loan and loan fees) not reimbursed by Borrowers for which Agent is entitled to reimbursement under the Loan Documents, (ii) for any other expenses incurred by Agent on behalf of Lender, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents, if not paid by Borrowers, (iii) for any expenses incurred by Agent on behalf of Lender which may be necessary or desirable to preserve and maintain collateral or to perfect and maintain perfected the liens upon the collateral granted pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, if not paid by Borrowers, (iv) for any amounts and other expenses incurred by Agent on behalf of Lender in connection with any default by any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, if not paid by such Lender, and (v) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby, or the enforcement of any of the terms thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent.
SECURED LOAN AGREEMENT | Page 45 |
20.17. Rights as a Lender.
With respect to its Commitment, if any, Agent shall have the same rights, powers and obligations hereunder and under any other Loan Document as any Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not an Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include Agent in its individual capacities. Borrowers and each Lender acknowledge and agree that Agent and/or its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, hold other investments in, and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction or have other relationships, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with Borrowers or any of their affiliates in which Borrowers or such affiliate are not restricted hereby from engaging with any other person.
20.18. Lenders’ Credit Decisions.
Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements and other information prepared by Borrowers and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 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 action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
20.19. Notice of Events of Default.
Should Agent receive any written notice of the occurrence of a default or Event of Default, or should the Agent send Borrowers a notice of Default or Event of Default, the Agent shall promptly furnish a copy thereof to each Lender.
20.20. Successor Agent.
(a) Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder at any time by giving at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lenders and Borrowers. Such resignation shall take effect on the date set forth in such notice or as otherwise provided below.

2. Monthly Payments.

In addition to, and not in lieu of, each monthly interest payment required hereunder, commencing on Dovember 10, 2017, and continuing on the tenth (10th) day of each successive month thereafter until the Extended Maturity Date, principal under this Note shall be due payable in monthly installments.

PROMISSORY NOTE | Page 1 |
4. General Provisions.
(a) Regardless of whether an Adjusted LIBOR Rate would otherwise then be in effect, in the event (i) the principal balance hereof is not paid when due whether by acceleration or upon the Final Maturity Date or (ii) an Event of Default exists, then the principal balance hereof shall bear interest from and after at the Default Rate. In addition, for any installment (exclusive of the payment due upon the Final Maturity Date) which is not paid within ten (10) days of the date when due a late charge as set forth in the Loan Agreement shall be also due and payable.
(b) Maker shall have no right to prepay this Note except as set forth in Section 4.4 of the Loan Agreement.
(c) Maker agrees that the obligation evidenced by this Note is an exempt transaction under the Truth-in-Lending Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1601, et seq.
(d) The parties hereto intend and believe that each provision in this Note comports with all applicable local, state and federal laws and judicial decisions. However, if any provision or provisions, or if any portion of any provision or provisions, in this Note is found by a court of law to be in violation of any applicable local, state or federal ordinance, statute, law, administrative or judicial decision, or public policy, and if such court should declare such portion, provision or provisions of this Note to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written, then it is the intent of all parties hereto that such portion, provision or provisions shall be given force to the fullest possible extent that they are legal, valid and enforceable, that the remainder of this Note shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable portion, provision or provisions were not contained therein, and that the rights, obligations and interest of Maker and the holder or holders hereof under the remainder of this Note shall continue in full force and effect. All agreements herein are expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of advancement of the proceeds hereof, acceleration of maturity of the unpaid principal balance hereof, or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the holders hereof for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to be advanced hereunder exceed the highest lawful rate permissible under applicable usury laws. If, from any circumstances whatsoever, the fulfillment of any provision hereof, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity and if from any circumstance the holder hereof shall ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance due hereunder and not to the payment of interest.
(e) This Note and all provisions hereof shall be binding upon Maker and all persons claiming under or through Maker, and shall inure to the benefit of Payee, together with its successors and assigns, including each owner and holder from time to time of this Note.
(f) Time is of the essence as to all dates set forth herein.
(g) Maker 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 Payee; and Maker consents to any indulgences and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers, or modifications that may be granted by Payee with respect to the payment or other provisions of this Note, and to any substitution, exchange or release of the collateral, or any part thereof, with or without substitution, and agrees to the addition or release of any makers, endorsers, guarantors, or sureties, all whether primarily or secondarily liable, without notice to Maker and without affecting its liability hereunder.
PROMISSORY NOTE | Page 2 |
(h) Maker hereby waives and renounces for itself, its successors and assigns, all rights to the benefits of any statute of limitations and any moratorium, reinstatement, marshalling, forbearance, valuation, stay, extension, redemption, appraisement, or exemption and homestead laws now provided, or which may hereafter be provided, by the laws of the United States and of any state thereof against the enforcement and collection of the obligations evidenced by this Note.
(i) If this Note is placed in the hands of attorneys for collection or is collected through any legal proceedings, Maker promises and agrees to pay, in addition to the principal, interest and other sums due and payable hereon, all costs of collecting or attempting to collect this Note, including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements.
(j) All parties now or hereafter liable with respect to this Note, whether Maker, principal, surety, guarantor, endorsee or otherwise hereby severally waive presentment for payment, demand, notice of nonpayment or dishonor, protest and notice of protest. No failure to accelerate the indebtedness evidenced hereby, acceptance of a past due installment following the expiration of any cure period provided by this Note, any Loan Document or applicable law, or indulgences granted from time to time shall be construed (i) as a novation of this Note or as a reinstatement of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or as a waiver of such right of acceleration or of the right of Payee thereafter to insist upon strict compliance with the terms of this Note, or (ii) to prevent the exercise of such right of acceleration or any other right granted hereunder or by the laws of the State. Maker hereby 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.

1. Guarantor absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Lender:
(a) the full and prompt payment of the principal of and interest on the Note when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter;
(b) the full and prompt payment of any Enforcement Costs (as hereinafter defined in Section 10 hereof);
(c) any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability or obligation suffered or incurred by the Lenders arising out of, on account of, or in connection with the misapplication or conversion of any tenant security deposits, insurance proceeds, condemnation awards, or any proceeds from the sale of a portion of any Project received by any Borrower and not delivered over to Agent or used to restore the Project in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement;
(d) any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability or obligation suffered or incurred by the Lenders arising out or on account of or based upon any fraud or willful misrepresentation of a material fact by any Borrower or Guarantor in any document executed or presented to Agent or any Lender in connection with the Loan;
(e) any amount(s) necessary to repair or replace any damage to or destruction of any Project which is the result of willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of any Borrower including, without limitation, waste, any act of arson or malicious destruction by any Borrower;
(f) any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability or obligation suffered or incurred by the Lenders out of or on account of or based upon the failure to maintain insurance as required by the Loan Documents or the failure to timely pay insurance premiums for any such required insurance for any Project;
(g) any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability or obligation suffered or incurred by the Lenders out of or on account of or based upon the failure to timely pay any valid real estate taxes for any Project which could create liens on any portion of any Project which would be superior to the lien or security title of the applicable Mortgage or the other Loan Documents, to the full extent of the amount claimed by any such lien claimant, except to the extent such loss results from Lenders failure to pay any valid real estate taxes for any Project;
(h) the aggregate amount outstanding under the Loan Documents upon any Borrower (i) making a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; (ii) filing a petition, answer or consent seeking, or having entered against it an order for relief (or any similar remedy) under any provision of Title 11 of the United States Code or any other federal, state or foreign Law relating to insolvency, bankruptcy, rehabilitation, liquidation or reorganization, or consent to the institution of any proceedings thereunder; (iii) convening a meeting of its creditors, or any class thereof, for the purpose of effecting a moratorium upon or extension or composition of its debts; (iv) admitting in writing that it is generally not able to pay its debts as they mature; or (v) applying for a consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, liquidator or other similar official of all or a portion of its assets; and
GUARANTY AGREEMENT | Page 2 |
(i) any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability or obligation suffered or incurred by the Lenders arising out of, on account of, or in connection with a distribution by any Borrower of Monthly Excess Cash Flow in violation of the provisions of the Loan Documents.
All amounts due, debts, liabilities and payment obligations described in subsections (a) – (i) of this Section 1 shall be hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Guaranteed Indebtedness.”
2. In the event of any default by Borrowers in the payment of the Guaranteed Indebtedness, after the expiration of any applicable cure or grace period, Guarantor agrees, on demand by Agent or the holder of any Note, to pay the Guaranteed Indebtedness regardless of any defense, right of set-off or claims which any Borrower or Guarantor may have against Agent or any Lender or the holder of any Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in this Guaranty to the contrary, Agent agrees that Guarantor’s liability solely with respect to the amounts described in subsection (a) of Section 1 of this Guaranty shall be limited to thirty-five percent (35%) the aggregate outstanding principal balance under the Notes and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon. For the avoidance of doubt, Guarantor shall be fully liable for all other amounts described in subsections (b) through (i) of Section 1 of this Guaranty until the payment in full of the Guaranteed Indebtedness.
3. All of the remedies set forth herein and/or provided for in any of the Loan Documents or at law or equity shall be equally available to Agent and the Lenders, and the choice by Agent or the Lenders of one such alternative over another shall not be subject to question or challenge by Guarantor or any other person, nor shall any such choice be asserted as a defense, setoff, or failure to mitigate damages in any action, proceeding, or counteraction by Agent to recover or seeking any other remedy under this Guaranty, nor shall such choice preclude Agent from subsequently electing to exercise a different remedy. The parties have agreed to the alternative remedies provided herein in part because they recognize that the choice of remedies in the event of a default hereunder will necessarily be and should properly be a matter of good faith business judgment, which the passage of time and events may or may not prove to have been the best choice to maximize recovery by Agent and the Lenders at the lowest cost to Borrowers and/or Guarantor. It is the intention of the parties that such good faith choice by Agent or any Lender be given conclusive effect regardless of such subsequent developments.
GUARANTY AGREEMENT | Page 3 |
4. Guarantor does hereby (a) waive notice of acceptance of this Guaranty by Agent and the Lenders and any and all notices and demands of every kind which may be required to be given by any statute, rule or law, (b) agree to refrain from asserting, until after repayment in full of the Loan, any defense, right of set-off or other claim which such Guarantor may have against any Borrower, (c) waive any defense, right of set-off or other claim which any Borrower or Guarantor may have against any Agent, any Lender, or the holder of any Note, (d) waive any and all rights such Guarantor may have under any anti-deficiency statute or other similar protections, (e) waive presentment for payment, demand for payment, notice of nonpayment or dishonor, protest and notice of protest, diligence in collection and any and all formalities which otherwise might be legally required to charge such Guarantor with liability, and (f) waive any failure by Agent or any Lender to inform such Guarantor of any facts Agent or any Lender may now or hereafter know about any Borrower, any Project, the Loan, or the transactions contemplated by the Loan Agreement, it being understood and agreed that neither Agent nor any Lender has any duty so to inform and that such Guarantor is fully responsible for being and remaining informed by Borrowers of all circumstances bearing on the risk of nonperformance of any Borrower’s obligations. Credit may be granted or continued from time to time by the Lenders to any Borrower without notice to or authorization from Guarantor, regardless of the financial or other condition of such Borrower at the time of any such grant or continuation. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with Guarantor its assessment of the financial condition of such Borrower. Guarantor acknowledges that no representations of any kind whatsoever have been made by Agent or any Lender. No modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Guaranty shall be binding upon Agent or any Lender except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and delivered by Agent on behalf of the Lenders.
5. Guarantor further agrees that Guarantor’s liability as guarantor shall in not be impaired or affected by any renewals or extensions which may be made from time to time, with or without the knowledge or consent of such Guarantor of the time for payment of interest or principal under the Notes or by any forbearance or delay in collecting interest or principal under the Notes, or by any waiver by Agent or any Lender under the Loan Agreement, any Mortgage or any other Loan Documents, or by Agent’s or any Lender’s failure or election not to pursue any other remedies it may have against any Borrower or Guarantor, or by any change or modification in any Note, the Loan Agreement, any Mortgage or any other Loan Document, or by the acceptance by Agent or any Lender of any additional security or any increase, substitution or change therein, or by the release by Agent or any Lender of any security or any withdrawal thereof or decrease therein, or by the application of payments received from any source to the payment of any obligation other than the Guaranteed Indebtedness even though Agent or any Lender might lawfully have elected to apply such payments to any part or all of the Guaranteed Indebtedness, it being the intent hereof that, subject to Agent’s and the Lenders’ compliance with the terms of this Guaranty, Guarantor shall remain liable for the payment of the Guaranteed Indebtedness, until the Guaranteed Indebtedness has been paid in full, notwithstanding any act or thing which might otherwise operate as a legal or equitable discharge of a surety. Guarantor further understands and agrees that Agent and the Lenders may at any time enter into agreements with Borrowers to amend and modify the Notes, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgages or other Loan Documents, and may waive or release any provision or provisions of the Notes, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgages and other Loan Documents or any thereof, and, with reference to such instruments, may make and enter into any such agreement or agreements as Agent, the Lenders and Borrowers may deem proper and desirable, without in any manner impairing or affecting this Guaranty or any of Agent’s or Lenders’ rights hereunder or Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.
GUARANTY AGREEMENT | Page 4 |
6. This is an absolute, present and continuing guaranty of payment and not of collection. Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty may be enforced by Agent on behalf of the Lenders without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any other security or collateral given in connection herewith or with the Notes, the Loan Agreement, any Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents through foreclosure or sale proceedings, as the case may be, under any Mortgage or otherwise, or resorting to any other guaranties, and Guarantor hereby waives any right to require Agent or any Lender to join any Borrower in any action brought hereunder or to commence any action against or obtain any judgment against any Borrower or to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. Guarantor further agrees that nothing contained herein or otherwise shall prevent Agent on behalf of the Lenders from pursuing concurrently or successively all rights and remedies available to it at law and/or in equity or under the Notes, the Loan Agreement, any Mortgage or any other Loan Documents, and the exercise of any of its rights or the completion of any of its remedies shall not constitute a discharge of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, it being the purpose and intent of such Guarantor that the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances whatsoever. None of Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty or any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by any impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of any Borrower under the Notes, the Loan Agreement, any Mortgage or other Loan Documents or by reason of the bankruptcy of any Borrower or by reason of any creditor or bankruptcy proceeding instituted by or against any Borrower. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated (as the case may be) if at any time payment of all or any part of any sum payable pursuant to the Notes, the Loan Agreement, any Mortgage or any other Loan Document is rescinded or otherwise required to be returned by Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation, or reorganization of any Borrower, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor, custodian or conservator of or trustee or similar officer for, any Borrower or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment to Agent or such Lender had not been made, regardless of whether Agent or such Lender contested the order requiring the return of such payment. In the event of the foreclosure of the Mortgage and of a deficiency, Guarantor hereby promises and agrees forthwith to pay the amount of such deficiency notwithstanding the fact that recovery of said deficiency against Borrowers would not be allowed by applicable law; however, the foregoing shall not be deemed to require that Agent on behalf of the Lenders institute foreclosure proceedings or otherwise resort to or exhaust any other collateral or security prior to or concurrently with enforcing this Guaranty.
7. Guarantor hereby covenants as follows:
(a) Guarantor shall maintain a Tangible Net Worth (as defined below) of not less than the sum of (1) Seventy-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($75,000,000.00), plus (2) 75% of net equity capital proceeds raised after the date hereof; and
(b) Guarantor shall maintain a minimum of Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) in Cash and Cash Equivalents (as defined below) and Marketable Securities (as defined below).
GUARANTY AGREEMENT | Page 5 |
“Cash and Cash Equivalents” shall mean (i) marketable direct obligations issued or unconditionally guaranteed by the United States Government or issued by an agency thereof and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, in each case maturing within one (1) year after the date of acquisition thereof, (ii) marketable direct obligations issued by any state of the United States of America or any political subdivision of any such state or any public instrumentality thereof maturing within ninety (90) days after the date of acquisition thereof and, at the time of acquisition, having one of the two highest ratings obtainable from any two of the Rating Agencies (or, if at any time no two of the foregoing shall be rating such obligations, then from such other nationally recognized rating services as may be acceptable to Lender) and not listed for possible down-grade in Credit Watch published by Standard & Poor’s; (iii) commercial paper, other than commercial paper issued by any Borrower or any of its affiliates, maturing no more than ninety (90) days after the date of creation thereof and, at the time of acquisition, having a rating of at least A-1 or P-1 from either Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s (or, if at any time neither Standard & Poor’s nor Moody’s shall be rating such obligations, then the highest rating from such other nationally recognized rating services as may be acceptable to Agent); and (iv) domestic and Eurodollar certificates of deposit or time deposits or bankers’ acceptances maturing within ninety (90) days after the date of acquisition thereof, overnight securities repurchase agreements, or reverse repurchase agreements secured by any of the foregoing types of securities or debt instruments issued, in each case, by (A) any commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof or the District of Columbia or Canada having combined capital and surplus of not less than Two Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($250,000,000) or (B) Agent.
“Marketable Securities” shall mean securities regularly traded, and currently listed, on a nationally recognized exchange.
“Tangible Net Worth” means, as of a given date, all amounts that would be included under net assets (the result of total assets minus total liabilities) on the consolidated statement of net assets of Guarantor and its consolidated subsidiaries at such date, determined pursuant to the fair value basis of accounting in conformity with GAAP.
8. Guarantor agrees to deliver to Lender on an annual basis within one hundred-twenty (120) days after each December 31, the audited financial statements of Guarantor along with a covenant compliance certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A certified by an authorized officer of Guarantor. Guarantor agrees that the failure to furnish such financial statements shall constitute a default subject to the notice and cure provisions set forth in Section 14.1(a)(ii) of the Loan Agreement.
9. In the event any Lender or any holder of any Note shall assign any Note to any lender or other entity to secure a loan from such lender or other entity to any Lender or such holder for an amount not in excess of the amount which will be due, from time to time, from Borrowers to any Lender under such Note with interest not in excess of the rate of interest which is payable by Borrowers under such Note, Guarantor will accord full recognition thereto and agree that all rights and remedies of such Lender or such holder hereunder shall be enforceable against such Guarantor by such lender or other entity with the same force and effect and to the same extent as would have been enforceable by such lender or such holder but for such assignment; provided, however, that unless Agent shall otherwise consent in writing, Agent shall have an unimpaired right, prior and superior to that of its assignee or transferee, to enforce this Guaranty for Lender’s benefit to the extent any portion of the Guaranteed Indebtedness or any interest therein is not assigned or transferred.
GUARANTY AGREEMENT | Page 6 |
10. If: (a) this Guaranty is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or is collected through any legal proceeding; (b) an attorney is retained to represent Agent or any Lender in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, or other proceedings affecting creditors’ rights and involving a claim under this Guaranty; (c) an attorney is retained to provide advice to Agent or any Lender or other representative of Agent or any other Lender in any proceedings whatsoever in connection with this Guaranty and Agent or such Lender prevails in such proceedings, then Guarantor shall pay to Agent or such Lender upon demand all reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (all of which are referred to herein as “Enforcement Costs”), in addition to all other amounts due hereunder, regardless of whether all or a portion of such Enforcement Costs are incurred in a single proceeding brought to enforce this Guaranty as well as the other Loan Documents.
11. The parties hereto intend and believe that each provision in this Guaranty comports with all applicable local, state and federal laws and judicial decisions. However, if any provision or provisions, or if any portion of any provision or provisions, in this Guaranty is found by a court of law to be in violation of any applicable local, state or federal ordinance, statute, law, administrative or judicial decision, or public policy, and if such court should declare such portion, provision or provisions of this Guaranty to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written, then it is the intent of all parties hereto that such portion, provision or provisions shall be given force to the fullest possible extent that they are legal, valid and enforceable, that the remainder of this Guaranty shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable portion, provision or provisions were not contained therein, and that the rights, obligations and interest of Agent and the Lenders under the remainder of this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect.
12. TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE MARSHALLING OF ASSETS BY AGENT. WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY (EACH, A “PROCEEDING”), AGENT (BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF) AND GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY (A) SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS HAVING JURISDICTION IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK AND STATE OF NEW YORK, AND (B) WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE AT ANY TIME TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT, WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY PROCEEDING HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND FURTHER WAIVES THE RIGHT TO OBJECT, WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PROCEEDING, THAT SUCH COURT DOES NOT HAVE JURISDICTION OVER SUCH PARTY. NOTHING IN THIS GUARANTY SHALL PRECLUDE AGENT FROM BRINGING A PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION NOR WILL THE BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY ONE OR MORE JURISDICTIONS PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. AGENT AND GUARANTOR FURTHER AGREE AND CONSENT THAT, IN ADDITION TO ANY METHODS OF SERVICE OF PROCESS PROVIDED FOR UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ALL SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY PROCEEDING IN ANY NEW YORK STATE OR UNITED STATES COURT SITTING IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK AND MAY BE MADE BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, DIRECTED TO THE APPLICABLE PARTY AT THE ADDRESS INDICATED BELOW, AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE COMPLETE UPON RECEIPT; EXCEPT THAT IF SUCH PARTY SHALL REFUSE TO ACCEPT DELIVERY, SERVICE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETE FIVE (5) DAYS AFTER THE SAME SHALL HAVE BEEN SO MAILED.
GUARANTY AGREEMENT | Page 7 |
13. Any indebtedness of any Borrower to Guarantor now or hereafter existing is hereby subordinated to the payment of the Guaranteed Indebtedness. Guarantor agrees that, until the entire Guaranteed Indebtedness has been paid in full, no Guarantor will seek, accept, or retain for its own account, any payment from such Borrower on account of such subordinated debt. Any payments to Guarantor on account of such subordinated debt shall be collected and received by Guarantor in trust for the Lenders and shall be paid over to Agent for the benefit of the Lenders on account of the Guaranteed Indebtedness without impairing or releasing the obligations of Guarantor hereunder.
14. Any amounts received by the Lenders from any source on account of the Loan may be utilized by the Lenders for the payment of the Guaranteed Indebtedness and any other obligations of any Borrower to the Lenders in such order as the Lenders may from time to time elect. Additionally, if the Guaranteed Indebtedness guaranteed hereby is less than the full indebtedness evidenced by the Notes, all rents, proceeds and avails of each Project, including proceeds of realization of the Lenders’ collateral, shall be deemed applied on the Guaranteed Indebtedness of Borrowers to the Lenders that is not guaranteed by Guarantor until such unguaranteed indebtedness of Borrowers to the Lenders has been fully repaid before being applied upon the Guaranteed Indebtedness guaranteed by Guarantor.
15. GUARANTOR AND AGENT (BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF) HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHT UNDER THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR RELATING THERETO OR ARISING FROM THE LENDING RELATIONSHIP WHICH IS THE SUBJECT OF THIS GUARANTY AND AGREE THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.
16. Any notice, demand, request or other communication which any party hereto may be required or may desire to give hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given (a) if hand delivered, when delivered; (b) if mailed by United States Certified Mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested), three Business Days after mailing (c) if by Federal Express or other reliable overnight courier service, on the next Business Day after delivered to such courier service or (d) if by telecopier on the day of transmission so long as copy is sent on the same day by overnight courier as set forth below:

17. In order to induce the Lenders to make the Loan, Guarantor makes the following representations and warranties to the Agent for the benefit of the Lender set forth in this Section. Guarantor acknowledges that but for the truth and accuracy of the matters covered by the following representations and warranties, the Lenders would not have agreed to make the Loan:
(a) Guarantor is duly formed, validly existing, and in good standing in its state of organization and has qualified to do business and is in good standing in any state in which it is necessary in the conduct of its business;
(b) Guarantor maintains an office at the address set forth for such party in Section 16;
(c) Any and all balance sheets, net worth statements, and other financial data with respect to Guarantor which have heretofore been given to Agent or any Lender by or on behalf of Guarantor fairly and accurately present the financial condition of Guarantor in all material respects as of the respective dates thereof;
GUARANTY AGREEMENT | Page 9 |
(d) The execution, delivery, and performance by Guarantor of this Guaranty does not and will not contravene or conflict with (i) any Laws, order, rule, regulation, writ, injunction or decree now in effect of any Government Authority, or court having jurisdiction over Guarantor, (ii) any contractual restriction binding on or affecting Guarantor or Guarantor’s property or assets which may adversely affect Guarantor’s ability to fulfill its obligations under this Guaranty, (iii) the instruments creating any trust holding title to any assets included in Guarantor’s financial statements, or (iv) the organizational documents of Guarantor;
(e) This Guaranty creates legal, valid, and binding obligations of Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its terms;
(f) there is no action, proceeding, or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of Guarantor, threatened or affecting Guarantor, which may adversely affect Guarantor’s ability to fulfill its material obligations under this Guaranty. There are no judgments or orders for the payment of money rendered against Guarantor for an amount in excess of $100,000 which have been undischarged for a period of ten (10) or more consecutive days or the enforcement of which is not stayed by reason of a pending appeal or otherwise. Guarantor is not in default under any agreements which may adversely affect Guarantor’s ability to fulfill its obligations under this Guaranty; and
(g) All statements set forth in the Recitals are true and correct.
All of the foregoing representations and warranties shall be deemed remade on the date of the first disbursement of Loan proceeds, on the date of each advance of Loan proceeds, and upon any extension of the Loan pursuant to the Loan Agreement. Guarantor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Agent and each Lender free and harmless from and against all loss, cost, liability, damage, and expense, including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, which Agent or any Lender may sustain by reason of the inaccuracy or breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties as of the date the foregoing representations and warranties are made and are remade.
18. Guarantor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Agent all of the applicable financial statements to be delivered in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement.
19. This Guaranty shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, legal and personal representatives, successors and assigns of Guarantor.
20. This Guaranty shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such state that would require the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such state.
21. The Lenders shall be entitled to honor any request for Loan proceeds made by Borrowers and shall have no obligation to see to the proper disposition of such advances. Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder shall not be released or affected by reason of any improper disposition by Borrowers of such Loan proceeds.
22. This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

DEED OF TRUST | Page 3 |
(iv) Payment and performance of any obligations of Borrowers under any Loan Documents which are executed by Borrowers; and

(vi) Payment and performance of all future advances and other obligations that Borrowers or any successor in ownership of all or part of the Property may agree to pay and/or perform (whether as principal, surety or guarantor) for the benefit of the Lenders, when a writing evidences the parties’ agreement that the advance or obligation be secured by this Deed of Trust; and
(vii) Payment and performance of all modifications, amendments, extensions, and renewals, however evidenced, of any of the Secured Obligations.

Such terms include any provisions in the Note or the Loan Agreement which permit borrowing, repayment and reborrowing, or which provide that the interest rate on one or more of the Secured Obligations may vary from time to time.
2. Assignment of Rents.
2.1 Assignment. Grantor hereby irrevocably, absolutely, presently and unconditionally assigns to Beneficiary all right, title and interest of Grantor in and to all rents, royalties, issues, profits, revenue, income, accounts, proceeds and other benefits of the Property, whether now due, past due or to become due, including all prepaid rents and security deposits (some or all collectively, as the context may require, “Rents”). This is an absolute assignment, not an assignment for security only.
2.2 Grant of License. Beneficiary hereby confers upon Grantor a license (“License”) to collect and retain the Rents as they become due and payable, so long as no Event of Default, as defined in Section 6.2 below, shall exist and be continuing. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the License shall terminate upon notice to Grantor, and without regard to the adequacy of Beneficiary’s security under this Deed of Trust. The License shall be reinstated upon the cure of the applicable Event of Default.
DEED OF TRUST | Page 4 |
2.3 Collection and Application of Rents. Subject to the License granted to Grantor under Section 2.2 above and only while there is an uncured Event of Default, Beneficiary has the right, power and authority to collect any and all Rents. Grantor hereby appoints Beneficiary its attorney-in-fact to perform any and all of the following acts, if and at the times when Beneficiary in its sole discretion may so choose:
(a) Demand, receive and enforce payment of any and all Rents; or
(b) Give receipts, releases and satisfactions for any and all Rents; or
(c) Sue either in the name of Grantor or in the name of Beneficiary for any and all Rents.
Beneficiary and Grantor agree that the mere recordation of the assignment granted herein entitles Beneficiary immediately to collect and receive rents upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, as defined in Section 6.2, without first taking any acts of enforcement under applicable law, such as, but not limited to, providing notice to Grantor, filing foreclosure proceedings, or seeking and/or obtaining the appointment of a receiver. Further, Beneficiary’s right to the Rents does not depend on whether or not Beneficiary takes possession of the Property as permitted under Subsection 6.3(c). In Beneficiary’s sole discretion, Beneficiary may choose to collect Rents either with or without taking possession of the Property. Beneficiary shall apply all Rents collected by it in the manner provided under Section 6.6. If an Event of Default occurs while Beneficiary is in possession of all or part of the Property and is collecting and applying Rents as permitted under this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary and any receiver shall nevertheless be entitled to exercise and invoke every right and remedy afforded any of them under this Deed of Trust and at law or in equity.
2.4 Beneficiary Not Responsible. Under no circumstances shall Beneficiary have any duty to produce Rents from the Property. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Beneficiary is not and shall not be deemed to be:
(a) A “Beneficiary in possession” for any purpose; or
(b) Responsible for performing any of the obligations of the lessor under any lease except during any period when the License has terminated; or
(c) Responsible for any waste committed by lessees or any other parties, any dangerous or defective condition of the Property, or any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property except to the extent due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Beneficiary; or
(d) Liable in any manner for the Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment or operation of all or any part of it except to the extent due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Beneficiary.
DEED OF TRUST | Page 5 |
2.5 Leasing. Grantor shall not accept any deposit or prepayment of rents under the leases for any rental period exceeding one (1) month without Beneficiary’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Grantor shall not lease the Property or any part of it except in accordance with the Loan Agreement.
2.6 Texas Assignment of Rents Act. Notwithstanding anything in this Deed of Trust to the contrary, nothing contained herein shall be construed to waive or otherwise diminish the notice requirements set forth in the Texas Assignment of Rents Act, Texas Property Code, Chapter 64.
3. Grant of Security Interest.
3.1 Security Agreement. The parties intend for this Deed of Trust to create a lien on the Property, and an absolute assignment of the Rents, all in favor of Beneficiary. The parties acknowledge that some of the Property and some or all of the Rents may be determined under applicable law to be personal property or fixtures. To the extent that any Property or Rents may be or be determined to be personal property, Grantor as debtor hereby grants Beneficiary and Trustee as secured parties a security interest in all such Property and Rents, to secure payment and performance of the Secured Obligations. This Deed of Trust constitutes a security agreement under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State in which the Property is located, covering all such Property and Rents.
3.2 Financing Statements. Grantor hereby authorizes Beneficiary to file one or more financing statements. In addition, Grantor shall execute such other documents as Beneficiary may from time to time require to perfect or continue the perfection of Beneficiary’s security interest in any Property or Rents. As provided in Section 5.9 below, Grantor shall pay all fees and costs that Beneficiary may incur in filing such documents in public offices and in obtaining such record searches as Beneficiary may reasonably require. In case Grantor fails to execute any financing statements or other documents for the perfection or continuation of any security interest, Grantor hereby appoints Beneficiary as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to execute any such documents on its behalf. If any financing statement or other document is filed in the records normally pertaining to personal property, that filing shall never be construed as in any way derogating from or impairing this Deed of Trust or the rights or obligations of the parties under it.
4. Fixture Filing.
This Deed of Trust constitutes a financing statement filed as a fixture filing under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code in the State in which the Property is located, as amended or recodified from time to time, covering any Property which now is or later may become fixtures attached to the Land or Improvements. For this purpose, the respective addresses of Grantor, as debtor, and Beneficiary and Trustee, as secured parties, are as set forth in the preambles of this Deed of Trust.

6.1 Accelerating Transfers.
(a) “Accelerating Transfer” means any Transfer not expressly permitted under Article 12 of the Loan Agreement.
DEED OF TRUST | Page 11 |
(b) Grantor acknowledges that Beneficiary is making one or more advances under the Loan Agreement in reliance on the expertise, skill and experience of Grantor; thus, the Secured Obligations include material elements similar in nature to a personal service contract. In consideration of Beneficiary’s reliance, Grantor agrees that Grantor shall not make any Accelerating Transfer, unless the transfer is preceded by Beneficiary’s express written consent to the particular transaction and transferee. Beneficiary may withhold such consent in its sole discretion. If any Accelerating Transfer occurs, Beneficiary in its sole discretion may declare all of the Secured Obligations to be immediately due and payable, and Beneficiary may invoke any rights and remedies provided by Section 6.3 of this Deed of Trust.
6.2 Events of Default. Grantor will be in default under this Deed of Trust upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events (some or all collectively, “Events of Default;” any one singly, an “Event of Default”).
(a) Failure of Grantor (i) to observe or perform any of the other covenants or conditions by Grantor to be performed under the terms of this Deed of Trust concerning the payment of money for a period of ten (10) days after written notice from Beneficiary that the same is due and payable; or (ii) for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice from Beneficiary, to observe or perform any non-monetary covenant or condition contained in this Deed of Trust; provided that if any such failure concerning a non-monetary covenant or condition is susceptible to cure but cannot reasonably be cured within said thirty (30) day period, then Grantor shall have an additional sixty (60) day period to cure such failure and no Event of Default shall be deemed to exist hereunder so long as Grantor commences such cure within the initial thirty (30) day period and diligently and in good faith pursues such cure to completion within such resulting ninety (90) day period from the date of Beneficiary’s notice; or
(b) An “Event of Default” occurs under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document.
6.3 Remedies. At any time after an Event of Default, Beneficiary shall be entitled to invoke any and all of the rights and remedies described below, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Beneficiary, under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity. All of such rights and remedies shall be cumulative, and the exercise of any one or more of them shall not constitute an election of remedies.
(a) Acceleration. Beneficiary may declare any or all of the Secured Obligations to be due and payable immediately.
(b) Receiver. Beneficiary shall, as a matter of right, without notice and without giving bond to Grantor or anyone claiming by, under or through Grantor, and without regard for the solvency or insolvency of Grantor or the then value of the Property, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be entitled to have a receiver appointed for all or any part of the Property and the Rents, and the proceeds, issues and profits thereof, with the rights and powers referenced below and such other rights and powers as the court making such appointment shall confer, and Grantor hereby consents to the appointment of such receiver and shall not oppose any such appointment. Such receiver shall have all powers and duties prescribed by applicable law, all other powers which are necessary or usual in such cases for the protection, possession, control, management and operation of the Property, and such rights and powers as Beneficiary would have, upon entering and taking possession of the Property under subsection (c) below.

If Beneficiary so requests, Grantor shall assemble all of the Property that has been removed from the Land and make all of it available to Beneficiary at the site of the Land. Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Beneficiary as Grantor’s attorney-in-fact to perform such acts and execute such documents as Beneficiary in its sole discretion may consider to be appropriate in connection with taking these measures, including endorsement of Grantor’s name on any instruments.
(d) Cure; Protection of Security. Beneficiary may cure any breach or default of Grantor, and if it chooses to do so in connection with any such cure, Beneficiary may also enter the Property and/or do any and all other things which it may in its sole discretion consider necessary and appropriate to protect the security of this Deed of Trust, including, without limitation, completing construction of the improvements at the Property contemplated by the Loan Agreement. Such other things may include: appearing in and/or defending any action or proceeding which purports to affect the security of, or the rights or powers of Beneficiary under, this Deed of Trust; paying, purchasing, contesting or compromising any encumbrance, charge, lien or claim of lien which in Beneficiary’s sole judgment is or may be senior in priority to this Deed of Trust, such judgment of Beneficiary or to be conclusive as among the parties to this Deed of Trust; obtaining insurance and/or paying any premiums or charges for insurance required to be carried under the Loan Agreement; otherwise caring for and protecting any and all of the Property; and/or employing counsel, accountants, contractors and other appropriate persons to assist Beneficiary. Beneficiary may take any of the actions permitted under this Subsection 6.3(d) either with or without giving notice to any person. Any amounts expended by Beneficiary under this Subsection 6.3(d) shall be secured by this Deed of Trust.
(e) Uniform Commercial Code Remedies. Beneficiary may exercise any or all of the remedies granted to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code in the State in which the Property is located.
DEED OF TRUST | Page 13 |
(f) Foreclosure; Lawsuits. Beneficiary shall have the right, in one or several concurrent or consecutive proceedings, to foreclose the lien hereof upon the Property or any part thereof, for the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, by any proceedings appropriate under applicable law, whether non-judicial or judicial. Beneficiary or its nominee may bid and become the purchaser of all or any part of the Property at any foreclosure or other sale hereunder, and the amount of Beneficiary’s successful bid shall be credited on the Secured Obligations. Without limiting the foregoing, Beneficiary may proceed by a suit or suits in law or equity, whether for specific performance of any covenant or agreement herein contained or in aid of the execution of any power herein granted, or for any foreclosure under the judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction.
(g) Other Remedies. Beneficiary may exercise all rights and remedies contained in any other instrument, document, agreement or other writing heretofore, concurrently or in the future executed by Grantor or any other person or entity in favor of Beneficiary in connection with the Secured Obligations or any part thereof, without prejudice to the right of Beneficiary thereafter to enforce any appropriate remedy against Grantor. Beneficiary shall have the right to pursue all remedies afforded to a Beneficiary under applicable law, and shall have the benefit of all of the provisions of such applicable law, including all amendments thereto which may become effective from time to time after the date hereof.
(h) Sale of Personal Property. Beneficiary and/or Trustee, as required by applicable law, shall have the discretionary right to cause some or all of the Property, which constitutes personal property, to be sold or otherwise disposed of in any combination and in any manner permitted by applicable law.
(i) For purposes of this power of sale, Beneficiary and/or Trustee, as required by applicable law, may elect to treat as personal property any Property which is intangible or which can be severed from the Land or Improvements without causing structural damage. If it chooses to do so, Beneficiary and/or Trustee, as required by applicable law, may dispose of any personal property, in any manner permitted by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State in which the Property is located, including any public or private sale, or in any manner permitted by any other applicable law.
(ii) In connection with any sale or other disposition of such Property, Grantor agrees that the following procedures constitute a commercially reasonable sale: Beneficiary shall mail written notice of the sale to Grantor not later than thirty (30) days prior to such sale. Beneficiary will publish notice of the sale in a local daily newspaper of general circulation. Upon receipt of any written request, Beneficiary will make the Property available to any bona fide prospective purchaser for inspection during reasonable business hours. Notwithstanding, Beneficiary shall be under no obligation to consummate a sale if, in its judgment, none of the offers received by it equals the fair value of the Property offered for sale. The foregoing procedures do not constitute the only procedures that may be commercially reasonable.
DEED OF TRUST | Page 14 |
(i) Foreclosure Sales. Beneficiary may request Trustee to proceed with foreclosure under the power of sale (a “Foreclosure Sale”) which is hereby conferred, such foreclosure to be accomplished in accordance with the following provisions:
(i) Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered and it shall be Trustee’s special duty, upon such request of Beneficiary, to sell the Property or any part thereof, with or without having taken possession of same. Any such sale (including notice thereof) shall comply with the applicable requirements, at the time of the sale, of Section 51.002 of the Texas Property Code or, if and to the extent such statute is not then in force, with the applicable requirements, at the time of the sale, of the successor statute or statutes, if any, governing sales of Texas real property under powers of sale conferred by deeds of trust. If there is no statute in force at the time of the sale governing sales of Texas real property under powers of sale conferred by deeds of trust, such sale shall comply with applicable law, at the time of the sale, governing sales of Texas real property under powers of sale conferred by deeds of trust.
(ii) In addition to the rights and powers of sale granted under the preceding provisions of this Subsection, if default is made in the payment of any installment of, or any other payment due in respect of, the Secured Obligations, Beneficiary may, at Beneficiary’s option, at once or at any time thereafter while any matured installment remains unpaid, without declaring the entire Secured Obligations to be due and payable, orally or in writing direct Trustee to enforce this trust and to sell the Property subject to such unmatured indebtedness and to the rights, powers, liens, security interests and assignments securing or providing recourse for payment of such unmatured indebtedness, in the same manner, all as provided in the preceding provisions of this Subsection. Sales made without maturing the Secured Obligations may be made hereunder whenever there is a default in the payment of any installment of the Secured Obligations, without exhausting the power of sale granted hereby, and without affecting in any way the power of sale granted under this Subsection, the unmatured balance of the Secured Obligations or the rights, powers, liens, security interests and assignments securing or providing recourse for payment of the Secured Obligations.
(iii) Sale of a part of the Property shall not exhaust the power of sale, but sales may be made from time to time until the Secured Obligations are paid and performed in full. It is intended by each of the foregoing provisions of this Subsection that Trustee may, after any request or direction by Beneficiary, sell not only the Land and the Improvements, but also the Accessories and other interests constituting a part of the Property or any part thereof, along with the Land and the Improvements or any part thereof, as a unit and as a part of a single sale, or may sell any part of the Property separately from the remainder of the Property. It shall not be necessary to have present or to exhibit at any sale any of the Property.
DEED OF TRUST | Page 15 |
(iv) After any sale under this Subsection, Trustee shall make good and sufficient deeds, assignments and other conveyances to the purchaser or purchasers thereunder in the name of Grantor, conveying the Property or any part thereof so sold to the purchaser or purchasers by a Trustee’s Deed. It is agreed that, in any deeds, assignments or other conveyances given by Trustee, any and all statements of fact or other recitals therein made as to the identity of Beneficiary, or as to the request to sell, notice of sale, time, place, terms and manner of sale, and receipt, distribution and application of the money realized therefrom, or as to the due and proper appointment of a substitute trustee, and, without being limited by the foregoing, as to any other act or thing having been duly done by or on behalf of Beneficiary or by or on behalf of Trustee related to the foregoing, shall be taken by all courts of law and equity as prima facie evidence that the said statements or recitals state facts and are without further question to be so accepted, and Grantor does hereby ratify and confirm any and all acts that Trustee may lawfully do in the premises by virtue hereof.
(j) Waiver of Deficiency Statute. In the event an interest in any of the Property is foreclosed upon pursuant to a judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure sale, Grantor agrees that, notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 51.003, 51.004 and 51.005 of the Texas Property Code (as the same may be amended from time to time), and to the extent permitted by law (but subject to the provisions hereof), Beneficiary shall be entitled to seek a deficiency judgment from Grantor and any other party obligated on the Notes equal to the difference between the amount owing on the Notes and the amount for which the Property was sold pursuant to judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure sale. Grantor expressly recognizes that this Section constitutes a waiver of the above-cited provisions of the Texas Property Code which would otherwise permit Grantor and other persons against whom recovery of deficiencies is sought or any indemnitor or guarantor independently (even absent the initiation of deficiency proceedings against them) to present competent evidence of the fair market value of the Property as of the date of the foreclosure sale and offset against any deficiency the amount by which the foreclosure sale price is determined to be less than such fair market value. Grantor further recognizes and agrees that this waiver creates an irrebuttable presumption that the foreclosure sale price is equal to the fair market value of the Property for purposes of calculating deficiencies owed by Grantor, any indemnitor or guarantor, and others against whom recovery of a deficiency is sought.
DEED OF TRUST | Page 16 |
(k) Alternative Waiver. Alternatively, in the event the waiver provided for in subparagraph (j) above is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, the provisions of this subparagraph (k) shall be the basis for the finder of fact's determination of the fair market value of the Property as of the date of the foreclosure sale in proceedings governed by Sections 51.003, 51.004 and 51.005 of the Texas Property Code (as amended from time to time). In such event, (i) the Property shall be valued in an “as is” condition as of the date of the foreclosure sale, without any assumption or expectation that the Property will be repaired or improved in any manner before a resale of the Property after foreclosure; (ii) the valuation shall be based upon an assumption that the foreclosure purchaser desires a resale of the Property for cash promptly (but no later than 12 months) following the foreclosure sale; (iii) all reasonable closing costs customarily borne by the seller in commercial real estate transactions should be deducted from the gross fair market value of the Property, including, without limitation, brokerage commissions, title insurance, a survey of the Property, tax prorations, attorneys’ fees, and marketing costs; (iv) the gross fair market value of the Property shall be further discounted to account for any estimated holding costs associated with maintaining the Property pending sale, including, without limitation, utilities expenses, property management fees, taxes and assessments (to the extent not accounted for in item (iii) above), and other maintenance, operational and ownership expenses; and (v) any expert opinion testimony given or considered in connection with a determination of the fair market value of the Property must be given by persons having at least five (5) years’ experience in appraising property similar to the Property and who have conducted and prepared a complete written appraisal of the Property taking into consideration the factors set forth above.
6.4 Credit Bids. At any Foreclosure Sale, any person, including Grantor or Beneficiary, may bid for and acquire the Property or any part of it to the extent permitted by then applicable law. Instead of paying cash for such property, Beneficiary may settle for the purchase price by crediting the sales price of the property against the following obligations:
(a) First, the portion of the Secured Obligations attributable to the expenses of sale, costs of any action and any other sums for which Grantor is obligated to pay or reimburse Beneficiary and Trustee under Section 5.9 of this Deed of Trust; and
(b) Second, all other Secured Obligations in any order and proportions as Beneficiary in its sole discretion may choose.
6.5 Application of Foreclosure Sale Proceeds. Beneficiary shall apply the proceeds of any Foreclosure Sale in the following manner:
(a) First, to pay the portion of the Secured Obligations attributable to the expenses of sale, costs of any action and any other sums for which Grantor is obligated to reimburse Beneficiary or Trustee under Section 5.9 of this Deed of Trust;
(b) Second, to pay the portion of the Secured Obligations attributable to any sums expended or advanced by Beneficiary under the terms of this Deed of Trust which then remain unpaid;
(c) Third, to pay all other Secured Obligations in any order and proportions as Beneficiary in its sole discretion may choose; and
(d) Fourth, to remit the remainder, if any, to the person or persons entitled to it by law.
DEED OF TRUST | Page 17 |
6.6 Application of Rents and Other Sums. Beneficiary shall apply any and all Rents collected by it, and any and all sums other than proceeds of a Foreclosure Sale which Beneficiary may receive or collect under Section 6.3 above, in the following manner:
(a) First, to pay the portion of the Secured Obligations attributable to the costs and expenses of operation and collection that may be incurred by Beneficiary or any receiver;
(b) Second, to pay all other Secured Obligations in any order and proportions as Beneficiary in its sole discretion may choose; and
(c) Third, to remit the remainder, if any, to the person or persons entitled to it by law.
Beneficiary shall have no liability for any funds which it does not actually receive.
7. The Trustee.
7.1 Certain Rights. With the approval of Beneficiary, Trustee shall have the right to take any and all of the following actions: (i) to select, employ and consult with counsel (who may be, but need not be, counsel for Beneficiary) upon any matters arising hereunder, including the preparation, execution and interpretation of the Loan Documents, and shall be fully protected in relying as to legal matters on the advice of counsel, (ii) to execute any of the trusts and powers hereof and to perform any duty hereunder either directly or through his or her agents or attorneys, (iii) to select and employ, in and about the execution of his or her duties hereunder, suitable accountants, engineers and other experts, agents and attorneys-in-fact, either corporate or individual, not regularly in the employ of Trustee (and Trustee shall not be answerable for any act, default, negligence, or misconduct of any such accountant, engineer or other expert, agent or attorney-in-fact, if selected with reasonable care, or for any error of judgment or act done by Trustee in good faith, or be otherwise responsible or accountable under any circumstances whatsoever, except for Trustee’s gross negligence or bad faith), and (iv) any and all other lawful action that Beneficiary may instruct Trustee to take to protect or enforce Beneficiary’s rights hereunder. Trustee shall not be personally liable in case of entry by Trustee, or anyone entering by virtue of the powers herein granted to Trustee, upon the Land for debts contracted for or liability or damages incurred in the management or operation of the Land. Trustee shall have the right to rely on any instrument, document, or signature authorizing or supporting any action taken or proposed to be taken by Trustee hereunder, believed by Trustee in good faith to be genuine. Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred by Trustee in the performance of Trustee’s duties hereunder and to reasonable compensation for such of Trustee’s services hereunder as shall be rendered. Grantor will, from time to time, pay the reasonable compensation due to Trustee hereunder and reimburse Trustee for, and save and hold Trustee harmless against, any and all liability and reasonable expenses which may be incurred by Trustee in the performance of Trustee’s duties.
7.2 Retention of Money. All moneys received by Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, and shall be segregated from any other moneys of Trustee.
DEED OF TRUST | Page 18 |
7.3 Successor Trustees. Trustee may resign by the giving of notice of such resignation in writing to Beneficiary. If Trustee shall die, resign or become disqualified from acting in the execution of this trust, or if, for any reason, Beneficiary, in Beneficiary’s sole discretion and with or without cause, shall prefer to appoint a substitute trustee or multiple substitute trustees, or successive substitute trustees or successive multiple substitute trustees, to act instead of the aforenamed Trustee, Beneficiary shall have full power to appoint a substitute trustee (or, if preferred, multiple substitute trustees) in succession who shall succeed (and if multiple substitute trustees are appointed, each of such multiple substitute trustees shall succeed) to all the estates, rights, powers and duties of the aforenamed Trustee. Such appointment may be executed by any authorized agent of Beneficiary, and if such Beneficiary be a corporation and such appointment be executed on its behalf by any officer of such corporation, such appointment shall be conclusively presumed to be executed with authority and shall be valid and sufficient without proof of any action by the board of directors or any superior officer of the corporation. Grantor hereby ratifies and confirms any and all acts which the aforenamed Trustee, or his or her successor or successors in this trust, shall do lawfully by virtue hereof. If multiple substitute trustees are appointed, each of such multiple substitute trustees shall be empowered and authorized to act alone without the necessity of the joinder of the other multiple substitute trustees, whenever any action or undertaking of such substitute trustees is requested or required under or pursuant to this Deed of Trust or applicable law. Any prior election to act jointly or severally shall not prevent either or both of such multiple substitute Trustees from subsequently executing, jointly or severally, any or all of the provisions hereof.
7.4 Perfection of Appointment. Should any deed, conveyance, or instrument of any nature be required from Grantor by any Trustee or substitute Trustee to more fully and certainly vest in and confirm to Trustee or substitute Trustee such estates, rights, powers, and duties, then, upon request by Trustee or substitute trustee, any and all such deeds, conveyances and instruments shall be made, executed, acknowledged, and delivered and shall be caused to be recorded and/or filed by Grantor.
7.5 Succession Instruments. Any substitute trustee appointed pursuant to any of the provisions hereof shall, without any further act, deed or conveyance, become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and trusts of its, his or her predecessor in the rights hereunder with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein; but nevertheless, upon the written request of Beneficiary or of the substitute trustee, the Trustee ceasing to act shall execute and deliver any instrument transferring to such substitute trustee, upon the trusts herein expressed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and trusts of the Trustee so ceasing to act, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver any of the property and moneys held by such Trustee to the substitute trustee so appointed in such Trustee’s place.
8. Miscellaneous Provisions.
8.1 Additional Provisions. The Loan Documents fully state all of the terms and conditions of the parties’ agreement regarding the matters mentioned in or incidental to this Deed of Trust. The Loan Documents also grant further rights to Beneficiary and contain further agreements and affirmative and negative covenants by Grantor which apply to this Deed of Trust and to the Property.
DEED OF TRUST | Page 19 |
8.2 No Waiver or Cure.
(a) Each waiver by Beneficiary must be in writing, and no waiver shall be construed as a continuing waiver. No waiver shall be implied from any delay or failure by Beneficiary to take action on account of any default of Grantor. Consent by Beneficiary to any act or omission by Grantor shall not be construed as a consent to any other or subsequent act or omission or to waive the requirement for Beneficiary’s consent to be obtained in any future or other instance.
(b) If any of the events described below occurs, that event alone shall not: cure or waive any breach, Event of Default or notice of default under this Deed of Trust or invalidate any act performed pursuant to any such default or notice; or nullify the effect of any notice of default or sale (unless all Secured Obligations then due have been paid and performed and all other defaults under the Loan Documents have been cured); or impair the security of this Deed of Trust; or prejudice Beneficiary or any receiver in the exercise of any right or remedy afforded any of them under this Deed of Trust; or be construed as an affirmation by Beneficiary of any tenancy, lease or option, or a subordination of the lien of this Deed of Trust.
(i) Trustee or Beneficiary, its agent or a receiver takes possession of all or any part of the Property in the manner provided in Subsection 6.3(c).
(ii) Beneficiary collects and applies Rents as permitted under Sections 2.3 and 6.6 above, either with or without taking possession of all or any part of the Property.

DEED OF TRUST | Page 20 |
8.3 Powers of Beneficiary.
(a) If Beneficiary performs any act which it is empowered or authorized to perform under this Deed of Trust, including any act permitted by Section 5.7 or Subsection 6.3(d) of this Deed of Trust, that act alone shall not release or change the personal liability of any person for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations then outstanding, or the lien of this Deed of Trust on all or the remainder of the Property for full payment and performance of all outstanding Secured Obligations. The liability of the original Grantor shall not be released or changed if Beneficiary grants any successor in interest to Grantor any extension of time for payment, or modification of the terms of payment, of any Secured Obligation unless agreed to otherwise in writing between the parties. Beneficiary shall not be required to comply with any demand by the original Grantor that Beneficiary refuse to grant such an extension or modification to, or commence proceedings against, any such successor in interest.
(b) Upon an Event of Default, Beneficiary may take any of the actions permitted under Subsections 6.3(b) and/or 6.3(c) regardless of the adequacy of the security for the Secured Obligations, or whether any or all of the Secured Obligations have been declared to be immediately due and payable, or whether notice of default and election to sell has been given under this Deed of Trust.
(c) From time to time, Beneficiary may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for aid and direction in executing and enforcing the rights and remedies created under this Deed of Trust. Beneficiary may from time to time obtain orders or decrees directing, confirming or approving acts in executing and enforcing these rights and remedies.
8.4 Merger. No merger shall occur as a result of Beneficiary’s acquiring any other estate in or any other lien on the Property unless Beneficiary consents to a merger in writing.
8.5 Joint and Several Liability. If Grantor consists of more than one person, each shall be jointly and severally liable for the faithful performance of all of Grantor’s obligations under this Deed of Trust.
8.6 Applicable Law. The creation, perfection and enforcement of the lien of this Deed of Trust shall be governed by the law of the State in which the Property is located. Subject to the foregoing, in all other respects, this Deed of Trust shall be governed by the substantive laws of the State of Texas.
8.7 Successors in Interest. The terms, covenants and conditions of this Deed of Trust shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors and assigns of the parties. However, this Section 8.7 does not waive the provisions of Section 6.1 above.
8.8 Interpretation.
(a) Whenever the context requires, all words used in the singular will be construed to have been used in the plural, and vice versa, and each gender will include any other gender. The captions of the sections of this Deed of Trust are for convenience only and do not define or limit any terms or provisions. The word “include(s)” means “include(s), without limitation,” and the word “including” means “including, but not limited to.”
DEED OF TRUST | Page 21 |
(b) The word “obligations” is used in its broadest and most comprehensive sense, and includes all primary, secondary, direct, indirect, fixed and contingent obligations. It further includes all principal, interest, prepayment charges, late charges, loan fees and any other fees and charges accruing or assessed at any time, as well as all obligations to perform acts or satisfy conditions.
(c) No listing of specific instances, items or matters in any way limits the scope or generality of any language of this Deed of Trust. The Exhibits to this Deed of Trust are hereby incorporated in this Deed of Trust.
8.9 Waiver of Statutory Rights. To the extent permitted by law, Grantor hereby agrees that it shall not and will not apply for or avail itself of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or exemption laws, or any so-called “Moratorium Laws,” now existing or hereafter enacted, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, but hereby waives the benefit of such laws. Grantor for itself and all who may claim through or under it waives any and all right to have the property and estates comprising the Property marshaled upon any foreclosure of the lien hereof and agrees that any court having jurisdiction to foreclose such lien may order the Property sold as an entirety. Grantor hereby waives any and all rights of redemption from sale under any judgment of foreclosure of this Deed of Trust on behalf of Grantor and on behalf of each and every person acquiring any interest in or title to the Property of any nature whatsoever, subsequent to the date of this Deed of Trust. The foregoing waiver of right of redemption is made pursuant to the provisions of applicable law.
8.10 Severability. If any provision of this Deed of Trust should be held unenforceable or void, that provision shall be deemed severable from the remaining provisions and shall in no way affect the validity of this Deed of Trust except that if such provision relates to the payment of any monetary sum, then Beneficiary may, at its option, declare all Secured Obligations immediately due and payable.
8.11 Notices. Any notice, demand, request or other communication which any party hereto may be required or may desire to give hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given (a) if hand delivered, when delivered; (b) if mailed by United States Certified Mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested), three Business Days after mailing (c) if by Federal Express or other reliable overnight courier service, on the next Business Day after delivered to such courier service or (d) if by telecopier on the day of transmission so long as copy is sent on the same day by overnight courier as set forth below:

8.12 Future Advances. The total amount of indebtedness secured hereby may increase or decrease from time to time, but the total unpaid principal balance of indebtedness secured hereby (including disbursements that Beneficiary may, but shall not be obligated to, make under this Deed of Trust, the Loan Documents or any other document with respect thereto) at any one time outstanding may be substantially less but shall be limited to all indebtedness reasonably contemplated by the parties for the Project as of the date hereof, including, without limitation, any disbursements made for the enforcement of this Deed of Trust and any remedies hereunder, payment of taxes, special assessments, utilities or insurance on the Property and interest on such disbursements and all disbursements by Beneficiary pursuant to applicable law (all such indebtedness being hereinafter referred to as the maximum amount secured hereby). This Deed of Trust shall be valid and have priority to the extent of the maximum amount secured hereby over all subsequent liens and encumbrances, including statutory liens, excepting solely taxes and assessments levied on the Property given priority by law.
DEED OF TRUST | Page 23 |
8.13 Beneficiary’s Lien for Service Charge and Expenses. At all times, regardless of whether any Loan proceeds have been disbursed, this Deed of Trust secures (in addition to any Loan proceeds disbursed from time to time) the payment of any and all loan commissions, service charges, liquidated damages, expenses and advances due to or incurred by Beneficiary not to exceed the maximum amount secured hereby.
8.14 WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. GRANTOR HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT THAT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION ARISING IN ANY WAY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS DEED OF TRUST, THE NOTE, OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE LOAN OR ANY OTHER STATEMENTS OR ACTIONS OF GRANTOR OR BENEFICIARY. GRANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED IN THE SIGNING OF THIS DEED OF TRUST AND IN THE MAKING OF THIS WAIVER BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL SELECTED OF ITS OWN FREE WILL, AND THAT IT HAS DISCUSSED THIS WAIVER WITH SUCH LEGAL COUNSEL. GRANTOR FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) IT HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS THE MEANING AND RAMIFICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (ii) THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BENEFICIARY TO MAKE THE LOAN, ENTER INTO THIS DEED OF TRUST AND EACH OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND (iii) THIS WAIVER SHALL BE EFFECTIVE AS TO EACH OF SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AS IF FULLY INCORPORATED THEREIN.
8.15 Inconsistencies. In the event of any inconsistency between this Deed of Trust and the Loan Agreement, the terms hereof shall be controlling as necessary to create, preserve and/or maintain a valid security interest upon the Property, otherwise the provisions of the Loan Agreement shall be controlling.
8.16 Controlling Agreement. The parties hereto intend to conform strictly to the applicable usury laws. All agreements between Grantor (and any other party liable for any part of the Secured Obligations) and Beneficiary, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are expressly limited so that in no event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of the Secured Obligations or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged or received by Beneficiary hereunder or otherwise exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If from any circumstances whatsoever interest would otherwise be payable to Beneficiary in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to Beneficiary shall be reduced automatically to the maximum amount permitted under applicable law. If Beneficiary shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest under applicable law which would apart from this provision be in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the amount which would have been excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on the Secured Obligations in inverse order of maturity and not to the payment of interest, or if such amount which would have been excessive interest exceeds the unpaid principal balance of the Secured Obligations, such excess shall be refunded to Grantor, or to the maker of the Note or other evidence of indebtedness if other than Grantor. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to Beneficiary shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full stated term, including any renewal or extension, of such indebtedness so that the amount of interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the maximum permitted by applicable law. The terms and provisions of this section shall control and supersede every other provision of all existing and future agreements between Grantor, the maker of the Note or other evidence of indebtedness if other than Grantor, and Beneficiary.

INTEREST
5.1. Interest Rate.
(a) The Loan will bear interest at the Applicable Rate, unless the Default Rate is applicable. Except as expressly provided herein, the Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall be the “Applicable Rate”. Borrowers shall pay interest in arrears on the tenth (10th) day of every calendar month in the amount of all interest accrued and unpaid. All payments (whether of principal or of interest) shall be deemed credited to Borrowers’ account only if received by 12:00 noon Brooklyn, Ohio, time on a Business Day; otherwise, such payment shall be deemed received on the next Business Day.
(b) If Agent determines in its reasonable discretion (i) that Dollar deposits in an amount approximately equal to the Loan for the designated LIBOR Rate Interest Period are not generally available at such time in the London interbank market for deposits in Dollars, (ii) that the rate at which such deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lenders of maintaining a LIBOR Rate on such portion of the Loan or of funding the same for such LIBOR Rate Interest Period due to circumstances affecting the London interbank market generally, (iii) that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining a LIBOR Rate, or (iv) that an Adjusted LIBOR Rate would be in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrowers may by law pay, then, in any such event, Agent shall so notify Borrowers and all portions of the Loan bearing interest at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate that are so affected shall, as of the date of such notification with respect to an event described in clause (ii) or (iv) above, or as of the expiration of the applicable LIBOR Rate Interest Period with respect to an event described in clause (i) or (iii) above, bear interest at the Adjusted Base Rate (or such lower rate as required by applicable law) until such time as the situations described above are no longer in effect or can be avoided, at which time the Loan shall again accrue interest at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate. At no time may there be more than three (3) LIBOR Rate Interest Periods in effect with respect to the Loan.
(c) Interest at the Applicable Rate (or Default Rate) shall be calculated for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year, including the first date of the applicable period to, but not including, the date of repayment.
(d) Borrowers shall pay all Breakage Costs incurred from time to time by Lenders upon demand.
(e) If the introduction of or any change in any Law, regulation or treaty, or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof, shall make it unlawful for Lender to maintain the Applicable Rate at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate with respect to the Loan or any portion thereof, or to fund the Loan or any portion thereof in Dollars in the London interbank market, or to give effect to its obligations regarding the accrual of interest on the Loan at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate as contemplated by the Loan Documents, then (1) Agent shall notify Borrowers that Lenders are no longer able to maintain the Applicable Rate at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate, (2) the Applicable Rate for any portion of the Loan for which the Applicable Rate is then an Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall automatically be converted to the Adjusted Base Rate, and (3) Borrowers shall pay to Agent the amount of Breakage Costs (if any) incurred in connection with such conversion. Thereafter, the Loan shall accrue interest at the Adjusted Base Rate until such time as the situation described herein is no longer in effect or can be avoided, at which time the Loan shall again accrue interest at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate.

(f) The Loan shall bear interest at the Default Rate upon the election of the Lenders at any time at which an Event of Default shall exist.

COSTS OF MAINTAINING LOAN
6.1. Increased Costs and Capital Adequacy.
(a) Borrowers recognize that the cost to the Lenders of maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof may fluctuate and, Borrowers agree to pay Agent for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders additional amounts to compensate the Lenders for any increase in its actual costs incurred in maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof outstanding or for the reduction of any amounts received or receivable from Borrowers as a result of:
(i) any change after the date hereof in any applicable Law, regulation or treaty, or in the interpretation or administration thereof, or by any domestic or foreign court, (A) changing the basis of taxation of payments under this Agreement to Agent (other than taxes imposed on all or any portion of the overall net income or receipts of any Lender), or (B) imposing, modifying or applying any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds for loans by Lenders (which includes the Loan or any applicable portion thereof), or (C) imposing on any Lender, or the London interbank market generally, any other condition affecting the Loan, provided that the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable from Borrower by Lenders under the Loan Documents; or
(ii) the maintenance by any Lender of reserves in accordance with reserve requirements promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States with respect to “Eurocurrency Liabilities” of a similar term to that of the applicable portion of the Loan (without duplication for reserves already accounted for in the calculation of a LIBOR Rate pursuant to the terms hereof).
(b) If the application of any Law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted or arising out of the July, 1988 report of the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards”, or the adoption after the date hereof of any other Law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change after the date hereof in any of the foregoing, or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any domestic or foreign Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Lender, with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital to a level below that which Lender would have achieved but for such application, adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of Lender with respect to capital adequacy), then, from time to time Borrowers shall pay to Lender such additional amounts as will compensate Lender for such reduction with respect to any portion of the Loan outstanding.
(c) Any amount payable by Borrowers under subsection (a) or subsection (b) of this Section 6.1 shall be paid within ten (10) days of receipt by Borrowers of a certificate signed by an authorized officer of Agent setting forth the amount due and the basis for the determination of such amount, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrowers, absent manifest error. Failure on the part of Agent to demand payment from Borrowers for any such amount attributable to any particular period shall not constitute a waiver of each Lender’s right to demand payment of such amount for any subsequent or prior period. Agent shall use reasonable efforts to deliver to Borrowers prompt notice of any event described in subsection (a) or (b) above, of the amount of the reserve and capital adequacy payments resulting therefrom and the reasons therefor and of the basis of calculation of such amount; provided, however, that any failure by Agent to so notify Borrowers shall not affect Borrowers’ obligation to pay the reserve and capital adequacy payment resulting therefrom.
SECURED LOAN AGREEMENT | Page 17 |
6.2. Borrower Withholding.
If by reason of a change in any applicable Laws occurring after the date hereof, any Borrower is required by Law to make any deduction or withholding in respect of any taxes (other than taxes imposed on or measured by the net income of any Lender or any franchise tax imposed on any Lender), duties or other charges from any payment due under the Notes, the sums due from such Borrower in respect of such payment shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, Lender receives and retains a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required to be made.

(b) Inspection by Agent. Subject to the provisions of the Ground Leases, Borrowers will cooperate with Agent in arranging for inspections by representatives of Agent from time to time provided, that unless an Event of Default exists, upon twenty-four (24) hours prior notice to Borrowers. Such inspection shall include an examination of (i) the Improvements, and (ii) all books, contracts and records with respect to the Improvements.
(c) Mechanics’ Liens and Contest Thereof. Borrowers will not suffer or permit any mechanics’ lien claims to be filed or otherwise asserted against any Project, and will promptly discharge the same in case of the filing of any claims for lien or proceedings for the enforcement thereof, provided, however, that Borrowers shall have the right to contest in good faith and with reasonable diligence the validity of any such lien or claim upon furnishing to the Title Insurer such security or indemnity as it may require to induce said Title Insurer to issue an endorsement to the Title Policy insuring against all such claims or liens; and provided further, that the aggregate amount of liens so insured against at any time shall not exceed $25,000.00 for any one Project or $150,000.00 in the aggregate without Agent’s prior written consent.
(d) Settlement of Mechanics’ Lien Claims. If Borrowers shall fail promptly either (i) to discharge any such lien, or (ii) to contest claims asserted and give security or indemnity in the manner provided in subsection (c) of this Section, or having commenced to contest the same, and having given such security or indemnity, shall fail to prosecute such contest with diligence, or to maintain such indemnity or security so required by the Title Insurer for its full amount, or upon adverse conclusion of any such contest, to cause any judgment or decree to be satisfied and lien to be released, then and in any such event Agent may, at its election (but shall not be required to), procure the release and discharge of any such claim and any judgment or decree thereon and, further, may in its sole discretion effect any settlement or compromise of the same, or may furnish such security or indemnity to the Title Insurer, and any amounts so expended by Agent or any Lender, including premiums paid or security furnished in connection with the issuance of any surety company bonds, shall be deemed to constitute disbursement of the proceeds of the Loan hereunder. In settling, compromising or discharging any claims for lien, Agent shall not be required to inquire into the validity or amount of any such claim.
(e) Renewal of Insurance. Borrowers shall maintain, or cause, with respect to Sumter Place Project, Sumter Place Operator to maintain, insurance policies to be maintained in compliance with Exhibit E at all times.

(f) Payment of Taxes. Borrowers shall pay, or cause to be paid, all real estate taxes and assessments and charges of every kind upon the Projects before the same become delinquent, provided, however, that Borrowers shall have the right to pay such tax under protest or to otherwise contest any such tax or assessment, but only if (i) such contest has the effect of preventing the collection of such taxes so contested and also of preventing the sale or forfeiture of the Project or any part thereof or any interest therein, (ii) Borrowers have notified Agent of their intent to contest such taxes, and (iii) Borrowers have deposited security in form and amount satisfactory to Agent, in its sole discretion.

All payments deposited in the escrow account, and all interest accruing thereon, are pledged as additional collateral for the Loan. Notwithstanding Agent's holding of the escrow account, nothing herein shall obligate Agent or any Lender to pay any insurance premiums or real property taxes with respect to any portion of the Projects, provided that, so long as no Event of Default exists, Agent shall make available to Borrowers such funds as may be deposited in the escrow account from time to time for Borrowers' payment of insurance premiums or real property taxes due with respect to the Projects.
(h) Personal Property. All of Borrowers’ personal property, fixtures, attachments and equipment delivered upon, attached to or used in connection with the operation of the Projects shall always be located at the applicable Project and shall be kept free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and security interests, except for equipment and vehicle lease financing in the ordinary course of business; provided, however, that a Borrower may dispose of equipment that is either broken, worn out or obsolete in the ordinary course of business provided that any such Borrower replaces such equipment with new equipment of at least comparable value and utility, and a Borrower may dispose of equipment (for fair market value) that is no longer necessary for the operation of the Project.

In the event that bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings are instituted by or against the Sumter Place Operator, each Borrower shall (to the extent permitted by the applicable bankruptcy court having jurisdiction over such proceedings), upon written instruction received from Agent, terminate the Sumter Place Operating Sublease.
(j) Defaults Under Leases. Borrowers will not suffer or permit any breach or material default to occur in any of Borrowers’ obligations under any of the Leases nor suffer or permit the same to terminate by reason of any failure of Borrowers to meet any requirement of any Lease, which default or failure results in a Material Adverse Change, including, without limitation, under the Sumter Place Operating Sublease.
(k) Agent’s Attorneys’ Fees for Enforcement of Agreement. In case of any default or Event of Default hereunder, Borrowers (in addition to Agent’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, if any, to be paid pursuant to Section 7.3) will pay Agent’s reasonable attorneys’ and paralegal fees (including, without limitation, any attorney and paralegal fees and costs incurred in connection with any litigation or bankruptcy or administrative hearing and any appeals therefrom) in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement; without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if at any time or times hereafter Agent or any Lender employs counsel (whether or not any suit has been or shall be filed and whether or not other legal proceedings have been or shall be instituted) for advice or other representation with respect to the Projects, this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents, or to protect, collect, lease, sell, take possession of, or liquidate the Project, or to attempt to enforce any security interest or lien in any portion of the Project, or to enforce any rights of Agent and each Lender or any of Borrowers’ obligations hereunder, then in any of such events all of the reasonable attorneys’ fees arising from such services, and any expenses, costs and charges relating thereto, shall constitute an additional liability owing by Borrowers to Agent and/or the applicable Lender, on a joint and several basis, payable on demand.

Agent reserves the right to require that the annual and/or quarterly financial statements of Borrowers, or Guarantor be audited and prepared by a nationally recognized accounting firm or independent certified public accounting firm acceptable to Lender, at their respective sole cost and expense, if (i) an Event of Default exists, or (ii) if Lender has reasonable grounds to believe that the unaudited financial statements do not accurately represent the financial condition of Borrowers or Guarantor as the case may be. Lender further reserves the right to require such other financial information of Borrowers, Guarantor, and/or the Projects, at such other times (including monthly or more frequently) as it shall deem necessary. All financial statements must be in the form and detail as Lender shall from time to time reasonably request. Borrowers shall during regular business hours permit Agent or any of its agents or representatives (after twenty-four hours prior notice to Borrowers unless an Event of Default exists) to have access to and examine all of its books and records regarding the development and operation of each Project.
(n) Lost Note. Upon any Lender’s furnishing to Borrowers an affidavit to such effect, Borrowers shall, if the applicable Note is mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, deliver to such Lender, in substitution therefor, a new note containing the same terms and conditions as the such Note.

(o) INDEMNIFICATION. BORROWERS SHALL INDEMNIFY AGENT, EACH LENDER AND EACH AFFILIATE THEREOF AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES AND CONSULTANTS (EACH, AN “INDEMNIFIED PARTY”) AND DEFEND AND HOLD EACH INDEMNIFIED PARTY HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ALL CLAIMS, INJURY, DAMAGE, LOSS AND LIABILITY, COST AND EXPENSE (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES, COSTS AND EXPENSES) OF ANY AND EVERY KIND TO ANY PERSONS OR PROPERTY BY REASON OF (I) THE OPERATION OR MAINTENANCE OF THE PROJECT; (II) ANY BREACH OF REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, DEFAULT OR EVENT OF DEFAULT; OR (III) ANY OTHER MATTER ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOAN, ANY BORROWER OR PROJECT (EXPRESSLY INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TO THE EXTENT CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY).

ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS
19.1. Assignments and Participations.
(a) Each Lender shall have the right to assign, transfer, sell, negotiate, pledge or otherwise hypothecate this Agreement and any of its rights and security hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to any other Eligible Assignee with the prior written consent of the Agent and with the prior written consent of Borrower, which consents by the Agent and the Borrowers shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (provided that no consent of Borrower shall be required if the Eligible Assignee is also a Lender as of the date hereof or if an Event of Default then exists) and no consent of the Agent shall be required if the Eligible Assignee is also a Lender; provided, however, that (i) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to Agent, for its approval and acceptance, an Assignment and Assumption Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit H attached hereto (the “Assignment and Assumption”), (ii) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (iii) if the potential assignee is not already a Lender hereunder, at least ten (10) days prior to the date of the assignment, the potential assignee shall deliver to Agent all information reasonably necessary for Agent to successfully complete the Agent’s Patriot Act Customer Identification Process and OFAC Review Process, (iv) unless the Agent and, so long as no Event of Default exists, Borrowers otherwise consent, the aggregate amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment shall in no event be less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), (v) the Agent shall receive from the assigning Lender a processing fee of Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500), and (vi) if the assignment is less than the assigning Lender’s entire interest in the Loan, the assigning Lender must retain at least a Ten Million Dollar ($10,000,000.00) interest in the Loan. The Agent may designate any Eligible Assignee accepting an assignment of a specified portion of the Loan to be a Co-Agent, an “Arranger” or similar title, but such designation shall not confer on such Assignee the rights or duties of the Agent. Upon such execution, delivery, approval and acceptance, and upon the effective date specified in the applicable Assignment and Assumption, (a) the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and Borrowers hereby agree that all of the rights and remedies of Lenders in connection with the interest so assigned shall be enforceable against Borrowers by an Eligible Assignee with the same force and effect and to the same extent as the same would have been enforceable but for such assignment, and (b) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations hereunder and thereunder.
(b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Eligible Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) except as provided in such Assignment and Assumption, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished in connection therewith; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of Borrowers or the performance or observance by each Borrower of any of its obligations under any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished in connection therewith; (iii) such Eligible Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement together with such financial statements, Loan Documents and other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into the Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender hereunder; (iv) such Eligible Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon Agent, the assigning Lender 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 action under this Agreement; (v) such Eligible Assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as the Agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such Eligible Assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
SECURED LOAN AGREEMENT | Page 35 |
(c) Agent shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted by it and shall record in its records the names and address of each Lender and the Commitment of, and Percentage of the Loan owing to, such Lender from time to time. Borrowers, the Agent and Lenders may treat each entity whose name is so recorded as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.
(d) Upon receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Eligible Assignee, Agent shall, if such Assignment and Assumption has been properly completed and consented to if required herein, accept such Assignment and Assumption, and record the information contained therein in its records, and the Agent shall use its best efforts to give prompt notice thereof to Borrowers (provided that neither the Agent nor the Lenders shall be liable for any failure to give such notice).
(e) Borrowers shall, at no cost or expense to Borrowers, use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Agent and each Lender in connection with the assignment of interests under this Agreement or the sale of participations herein.
(f) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, and without the need to comply with any of the formal or procedural requirements of this Agreement, including this Section, any Lender may at any time and from time to time pledge and assign all or any portion of its rights under all or any of the Loan Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from its obligations hereunder. To facilitate any such pledge or assignment, the Agent shall, at the request of such Lender, enter into a letter agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank in, or substantially in, the form of the exhibit to Appendix C to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York Operating Circular No. 12.
(g) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, any Lender may assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to another branch or Affiliate of such Lender without first obtaining the approval of any Agent or the Borrowers, provided that (i) such Lender remains liable hereunder unless the Borrowers and Agent shall otherwise agree, (ii) at the time of such assignment such Lender is not a Defaulting Lender, (iii) such Lender gives the Agent and Borrower at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice of any such assignment; (iv) the parties to each such assignment execute and deliver to Agent an Assignment and Assumption, and (v) the Agent receives from the assigning Lender a processing fee of One Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($1,500).
(h) Each Lender shall have the right, without the consent of the Borrowers, to sell participations to one or more Eligible Assignees in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan and the Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation its Commitment to Borrower hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations (iii) the Borrowers, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and with regard to any and all payments to be made under this Agreement and (iv) the holder of any such participation shall not be entitled to voting rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (but such holder may contract with the Lender selling such Eligible Assignee its interest in such Lender’s share of the Loan as to voting of such Lender’s interest under Section 20.6(b) [but not under any other section of this Agreement], provided that any such agreement by a Lender shall bind only such Lender alone and not Borrowers, the other Lenders or the Agent).
(i) No Eligible Assignee of any rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be permitted to subassign such rights and obligations. No participant in any rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be permitted to sell subparticipations of such rights and obligations.
SECURED LOAN AGREEMENT | Page 36 |
(j) Borrowers acknowledge and agree that Lenders may provide to any Eligible Assignee or participant originals or copies of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and any other documents, instruments, certificates, opinions, insurance policies, letters of credit, reports, requisitions and other materials and information of every nature or description, and may communicate all oral information, at any time submitted by or on behalf of Borrowers or received by any Lender in connection with the Loan or with respect to Borrowers, provided that prior to any such delivery or communication, such Eligible Assignees or participants shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any of the foregoing to the same extent that such Lender agreed to preserve such confidentiality. In order to facilitate assignments to Eligible Assignees and sales to Eligible Assignees, Borrowers shall execute such further documents, instruments or agreements as Lenders may reasonably require; provided, that no Borrower shall be required (i) to execute any document or agreement which would materially decrease its rights, or materially increase its obligations, relative to those set forth in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (including financial obligations, personal recourse, representations and warranties and reporting requirements), or (ii) to expend more than incidental sums of money or incidental administrative time for which it does not receive reasonable reimbursement in order to comply with any requests or requirements of any Lender in connection with such assignment or sale arrangement. In addition, Borrowers agrees to cooperate fully with Lenders in the exercise of Lenders’ rights pursuant to this Section, including providing such information and documentation regarding Borrower as any Lender or any potential Eligible Assignee or participant may reasonably request and to meet with potential Eligible Assignees.
19.2. Several Liability.
Anything in this Agreement contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Lender to Borrowers under this Agreement are several and not joint and several; each Lender shall only be obligated to fund its Percentage of each disbursement to be made hereunder up to the amount of its Commitment. During any time, and only during such time, as Agent is the sole Lender and has not assigned any portion or portions of its interest in the Loan to another Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, Agent in its individual capacity shall be liable for all of the obligations of the Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. From and after the date that Agent as the sole Lender assigns any portion or portions of its interest in the Loan to another Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, then Agent shall act as the administrative agent on behalf of itself as a Lender and the other Lenders.

AGENT
20.1. Appointment.
KeyBank National Association is hereby appointed as Agent hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent to act as agent for such Lender and to take such actions as such Lender is obligated or entitled to take under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Agent agrees to act as such upon the express conditions contained in this Article in substantially the same manner that it would act in dealing with a loan held for its own account. Agent shall not have a fiduciary relationship with respect to any Lender by reason of this Agreement.
The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and Borrowers shall not have any rights to rely on or enforce any of the provisions hereof except as provided in Section 20.2 below. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, the Agent shall act solely as agent of Lender and does not assume, and shall not be deemed to have assumed, any obligations toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for the Borrowers.
20.2. Reliance on Agent.
All acts of and communications by the Agent, as agent for the Lenders, shall be deemed legally conclusive and binding; and Borrower or any third party (including any court) shall rely on any and all communications or acts of the Agent with respect to the exercise of any rights or the granting of any consent, waiver or approval on behalf of a Lender in all circumstances where an action by such Lender is required or permitted pursuant to this Agreement or the provisions of any other Loan Document or by applicable law without the right or necessity of making any inquiry of any individual Lender as to the authority of Agent with respect to such matter. In no event shall any of the foregoing limit the rights or obligations of any Lender with respect to any other Lender pursuant to this Article 20.
SECURED LOAN AGREEMENT | Page 37 |
20.3. Powers.
The Agent shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto or are otherwise necessary or desirable in connection with the administration of the Loan, and may exercise all other powers of Lenders as are not made subject to the consent of the Required Lenders pursuant to Section 20.6(a) or to the consent of all Lenders pursuant to Section 20.6(b). Without limiting the foregoing, the Agent may consent to or execute easements, plats, dedications, release of minor portions of the collateral and similar documents. The Agent shall not be considered, or be deemed, a separate agent of the Lenders hereunder, but is, and shall be deemed, acting in its contractual capacity as Agent, exercising such rights and powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Agent or Agent is otherwise entitled to take hereunder. Agent shall have no implied duties to the Lenders, or any obligation to the Lenders to take any action except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents to be taken by the Agent.
20.4. Disbursements.
(a) At least one (1) Business Day (by 11:00 a.m. Cleveland time) prior to the date the Loan is to be disbursed hereunder pursuant to this Agreement (or at least two (2) LIBOR Business Days by 11:00 a.m. Cleveland time for such disbursement to be made at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate), the Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed disbursement. Each Lender shall make available to Agent (or the funding Lender or entity designated by the Agent), the amount of such Lender’s Percentage of such disbursement (with respect to such Lender, such amount being referred to herein as an “Advance”) in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) on the date such disbursement is to be made (such date being referred to herein as a “Funding Date”). Unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to such time for funding in respect of any Advance that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Agent such Lender’s Advance, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Agent and the Agent, in its sole discretion, may, but shall not be obligated to, make available to Borrowers a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Agent by such Lender on or prior to the respective Funding Date, such Lender agrees to pay and Borrowers agree to repay to Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to Borrowers until the date such amount is paid or repaid to Agent, at (A) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and (B) in the case of Borrowers, the interest rate applicable at the time to a disbursement made on such Funding Date. If such Lender shall pay to Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance, and if both such Lender and Borrowers shall have paid and repaid, respectively, such corresponding amount, Agent shall promptly return to Borrowers such corresponding amount in same day funds.
(b) Requests by the Agent for funding by the Lenders of disbursements of the Loan will be made by facsimile. Each Lender shall make its Advance available to the Agent in dollars and in immediately available funds to such Lender and account as the Agent may designate, not later than Noon (Cleveland time) on the Funding Date. Nothing in this Section 20.4 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender of its obligation hereunder to make any Advance on any Funding Date, nor shall any Lender be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to perform its obligations to make any Advance hereunder, and the Commitment of any Lender shall not be increased or decreased as a result of the failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make any Advances hereunder.
20.5. Distribution and Apportionment of Payments.
(a) Subject to Section 20.5(b), payments actually received by Agent for the account of the Lenders shall be paid to them promptly after receipt thereof by Agent, but in any event within one (1) Business Day, provided that, if any such payments are not distributed to the Lenders within one (1) Business Day after Agent’s receipt thereof, Agent shall pay to such Lenders interest thereon, at the lesser of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) if the applicable payment represents repayment of a portion of the principal of the Loan, the rate of interest applicable to such portion of the Loan, from the date of receipt of such funds by Agent until such funds are paid in immediately available funds to such Lenders provided such funds are received by Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (Cleveland time) on the date of receipt. All payments of principal and interest in respect of the Loan, all payments of the fees described in this Agreement (but not in any separate fee letter except to the extent expressly set forth therein), and all payments in respect of any other obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be allocated among such of Lenders as are entitled thereto, in proportion of their respective Percentages or otherwise as provided herein in the other Loan Documents, as the case may be. The Agent shall distribute to each Lender at its primary address set forth herein or in its Assignment and Assumption, or at such other address as a Lender may request in writing, such funds as it may be entitled to receive, provided that the Agent shall in any event not be bound to inquire into or determine the validity, scope or priority of any interest or entitlement of any Lender and may suspend all payments and seek appropriate relief (including without limitation instructions from the Required Lenders, or all Lenders, as applicable, or an action in the nature of interpleader) in the event of any doubt or dispute as to any apportionment or distribution contemplated hereby. The order of priority herein is set forth solely to determine the rights and priorities of the Lenders as among themselves and may at any time or from time to time be changed by the Lenders as they may elect, in writing, without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by Borrowers.
SECURED LOAN AGREEMENT | Page 38 |
(b) If a Lender (a “Defaulting Lender”) defaults in making any Advance or paying any other sum payable by it hereunder, such sum together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such amount was due until repaid (such sum and interest thereon as aforesaid referred to, collectively, as the “Lender Default Obligation”) shall be payable by the Defaulting Lender (i) to any Lender(s) which elect, at their sole option (and with no obligation to do so), to fund the amount which the Defaulting Lender failed to fund or (ii) to Agent or any other Lender which under the terms of this Agreement is entitled to reimbursement from the Defaulting Lender for the amounts advanced or expended. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, until such time as a Defaulting Lender has repaid the Lender Default Obligation in full, all amounts which would otherwise be distributed to the Defaulting Lender shall instead be applied first to repay the Lender Default Obligation (to be applied first to interest at the Default Rate and then to principal) until the Lender Default Obligation has been repaid in full (whether by such application or by cure by the Defaulting Lender), whereupon such Lender shall no longer be a Defaulting Lender. Any interest collected from Borrowers on account of principal advanced by any Lender(s) on behalf of a Defaulting Lender shall be paid to the Lender(s) who made such advance and shall be credited against the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to pay interest on the amount advanced at the Default Rate. If no other Lender makes an advance a Defaulting Lender failed to fund, a portion of the indebtedness of Borrowers to the Defaulting Lender equal to the Lender Default Obligation shall be subordinated to the indebtedness of Borrowers to all other Lenders and shall be paid only after the indebtedness of Borrowers to all other Lenders is paid. The provisions of this Section shall apply and be effective regardless of whether an Event of Default occurs and is then continuing, and notwithstanding (i) any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary or (ii) any instruction of Borrowers as to their desired application of payments. No Defaulting Lender shall have the right to vote on matters which are subject to the consent or approval of Required Lenders or all Lenders and while any Lender is a Defaulting Lender the requisite percentage of Lenders which constitutes the Required Lenders shall be calculated exclusive of the Percentage of the Defaulting Lender. The Agent shall be entitled to (i) withhold or set off, and to apply to the payment of the Lender Default Obligation any amounts to be paid to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, and (ii) bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the Lender Default Obligation and, to the extent such recovery would not fully compensate the Lenders for the Defaulting Lender’s breach of this Agreement, to collect damages. In addition, the Defaulting Lender shall indemnify, defend and hold Agent and each of the other Lenders harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses), plus interest thereon at the Default Rate, for funds advanced by Agent or any other Lender on account of the Defaulting Lender or any other damages such persons may sustain or incur by reason of or as a direct consequence of the Defaulting Lender’s failure or refusal to abide by its obligations under this Agreement.
(c) At least five Business Days prior to the first date on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for the account of any Lender, each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America, or a state thereof, agrees that it will deliver to the Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN or W-8 ECI, certifying in either case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and the Note without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. Each Lender which so delivers a Form W-8 BEN or W-8 ECI further undertakes to deliver the Agent two additional copies of such form (or a successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, and such amendments thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by the Agent, in each case certifying that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and the Note without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender advises the Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.
SECURED LOAN AGREEMENT | Page 39 |
20.6. Consents and Approvals.
(a) Each of the following shall require the approval or consent of the Required Lenders:
(i) The exercise of any rights and remedies under the Loan Documents following an Event of Default, provided that absent any direction from the Required Lenders, Agent may exercise any right or remedy under the Loan Documents as Agent may determine in good faith to be necessary or appropriate to protect the Lenders or the collateral securing the Loan;
(ii) Appointment of a successor Agent;
(iii) Approval of Post-Default Plan (defined in Section 20.7(d)); and
(iv) Except as referred to in subsection (b) below, approval of any amendment or modification of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or issuance of any waiver of any material provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;
(b) Each of the following shall require the approval or consent of all the Lenders:
(i) Extension of the Maturity Date (beyond any extension permitted herein) or forgiveness of all or any portion of the principal amount of the Loan or any accrued interest thereon, or any other amendment of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents which would reduce the interest rate options or the rate at which fees are calculated or forgive any loan fee, or extend the time of payment of any principal, interest or fees;
(ii) Reduction of the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders;
(iii) Increasing the amount of the Loan or any non-consenting Lender’s Commitment;
(iv) Release of any lien on any material collateral (except as Borrowers are entitled to under the Loan Documents); and
(v) Amendment of the provisions of this Section 20.6.
(c) In addition to the required consents or approvals referred to in subsections (a) and (b) above, the Agent may at any time request instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which, by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Loan Documents, the Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant without instructions from any Lenders, and if such instructions are promptly requested, the Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever for refraining from taking any action or withholding any approval under any of the Loan Documents until it shall have received such instructions from the Required Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders or, where applicable, all Lenders. The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender at any time that the Required Lenders have instructed the Agent to act or refrain from acting pursuant hereto.
(d) Each Lender authorizes and directs the Agent to enter into the Loan Documents other than this Agreement for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by the Agent at the direction or with the consent of the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and the exercise by the Agent at the direction or with the consent of the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all Lenders, except for actions specifically requiring the approval of all Lenders. All communications from the Agent to the Lenders requesting Lenders’ determination, consent, approval or disapproval (i) shall be given in the form of a written notice to each Lender, (ii) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or item as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise each Lender where such matter or item may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (iii) shall include, if reasonably requested by a Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials and a summary of all oral information provided to the Agent by Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved, and (iv) shall include the Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof. Each Lender shall reply promptly, but in any event within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the request therefor from the Agent (the “Lender Reply Period”). Unless a Lender shall give written notice to the Agent that it objects to the recommendation or determination of the Agent (together with a written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within the Lender Reply Period, such Lender shall be deemed to have approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination. With respect to decisions requiring the approval of the Required Lenders or all Lenders, the Agent shall upon receiving the required approval or consent follow the course of action or determination recommended to the Lenders by the Agent or such other course of action recommended by the Required Lenders.
SECURED LOAN AGREEMENT | Page 40 |
20.7. Agency Provisions Relating to Collateral.
(a) The Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, at any time and from time to time, to take any action with respect to any collateral for the Loan or any Loan Document which may be necessary to preserve and maintain such collateral or to perfect and maintain perfected the liens upon such collateral granted pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(b) Except as provided in this Agreement, the Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender or to any other person or entity to assure that any collateral exists or is owned by any Borrower or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the liens granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or pursuant hereto or thereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority.
(c) Should the Agent commence any proceeding or in any way seek to enforce the Agent’s or the Lenders’ rights or remedies under the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether as a result thereof the Agent shall acquire title to any collateral, each Lender, upon demand therefor from time to time, shall contribute its share (based on its Percentage) of the reasonable costs and/or expenses of any such enforcement or acquisition, including, but not limited to, fees of receivers or trustees, court costs, title company charges, filing and recording fees, appraisers’ fees and fees and expenses of attorneys to the extent not otherwise reimbursed by Borrowers. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender shall contribute its share (based on its Percentage) of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Agent (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) if the Agent employs counsel for advice or other representation (whether or not any suit has been or shall be filed) with respect to any collateral for the Loan or any part thereof, or any of the Loan Documents, or the attempt to enforce any security interest or lien on any collateral, or to enforce any rights of the Agent or the Lenders or any of Borrowers’ or any other party’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents, but not with respect to any dispute between Agent and any other Lender(s). It is understood and agreed that in the event the Agent determines it is necessary to engage counsel for Lender from and after the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, said counsel shall be selected by the Agent and written notice of such selection, together with a copy of such counsel’s engagement letter and fee estimate, shall be delivered to the Lenders.
(d) In the event that all or any portion of the collateral for the Loan is acquired by the Agent as the result of the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or is retained in satisfaction of all or any part of Borrowers’ obligations under the Loan Documents, title to any such collateral or any portion thereof shall be held in the name of the Agent or a nominee or subsidiary of Agent, as agent, for the ratable benefit of the Agent and the Lenders. The Agent shall prepare a recommended course of action for such collateral (the “Post-Default Plan”), which shall be subject to the approval of the Required Lenders. The Agent shall administer the collateral in accordance with the Post-Default Plan, and upon demand therefor from time to time, each Lender will contribute its share (based on its Percentage) of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Agent pursuant to the Post-Default Plan, including without limitation, any operating losses and all necessary operating reserves. To the extent there is net operating income from such collateral, the Agent shall, in accordance with the Post-Default Plan, determine the amount and timing of distributions to Lenders. All such distributions shall be made to Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages. In no event shall the provisions of this subsection or the Post-Default Plan require the Agent or any Lender to take an action which would cause such Lender to be in violation of any applicable regulatory requirements.
SECURED LOAN AGREEMENT | Page 41 |
20.8. Lender Actions Against Borrower or the Collateral.
Each Lender agrees that it will not take any action, nor institute any actions or proceedings, against any Borrower or any other person hereunder or under any other Loan Documents with respect to exercising claims against such Borrower or rights in any collateral without the consent of the Required Lenders. With respect to any action by the Agent to enforce the rights and remedies of the Agent and Lenders with respect to such Borrower and any collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, each Lender hereby consents to the jurisdiction of the court in which such action is maintained.
20.9. Assignment and Participation.
No Lender shall be permitted to assign or sell all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Borrower or any Affiliate of any Borrower.
20.10. Ratable Sharing.
Subject to Sections 20.4 and 20.5, Lenders agree among themselves that (i) with respect to all amounts received by them which are applicable to the payment of the Loan, equitable adjustment will be made so that, in effect, all such amounts will be shared among them ratably in accordance with their Percentages, whether received by voluntary payment, by the exercise of the right of set-off or bankers’ lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any or all of the Loan Documents or any collateral and (ii) if any of them shall by voluntary payment or by the exercise of any right of counterclaim, set-off, bankers’ lien or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of the Loan held by it which is greater than its Percentage of the payments on account of the Loan, the one receiving such excess payment shall purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (which it shall be deemed to have done simultaneously upon the receipt of such payment) in such obligations owed to the others so that all such recoveries with respect to such obligations shall be applied ratably in accordance with their Percentages; provided, that if all or part of such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to that party to the extent necessary to adjust for such recovery, but without interest except to the extent the purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with such recovery. Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrowers in the amount of such participation.
20.11. General Immunity.
Neither Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to Borrowers or any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders (with the consent of Borrowers as set forth in the preceding sentence), and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent’s giving notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may appoint a successor Agent with the consent of Borrower, which shall not unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (provided that no consent of Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default then exists).

In addition to, and not in lieu of, each monthly interest payment required hereunder, commencing on January 10, 2018, and continuing on the tenth (10th) day of each successive month thereafter until the Extended Maturity Date, principal under this Note shall be due payable in monthly installments. Each such installment shall be in an amount sufficient to fully amortize the Loan on a thirty (30) year amortization schedule at per annum interest rate of six and one-half percent (6.5%).

AMENDED AND RESTATED PROMISSORY NOTE | Page 1 |
(d) The parties hereto intend and believe that each provision in this Note comports with all applicable local, state and federal laws and judicial decisions. However, if any provision or provisions, or if any portion of any provision or provisions, in this Note is found by a court of law to be in violation of any applicable local, state or federal ordinance, statute, law, administrative or judicial decision, or public policy, and if such court should declare such portion, provision or provisions of this Note to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written, then it is the intent of all parties hereto that such portion, provision or provisions shall be given force to the fullest possible extent that they are legal, valid and enforceable, that the remainder of this Note shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable portion, provision or provisions were not contained therein, and that the rights, obligations and interest of Maker and the holder or holders hereof under the remainder of this Note shall continue in full force and effect. All agreements herein are expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of advancement of the proceeds hereof, acceleration of maturity of the unpaid principal balance hereof, or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the holders hereof for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to be advanced hereunder exceed the highest lawful rate permissible under applicable usury laws. If, from any circumstances whatsoever, the fulfillment of any provision hereof, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity and if from any circumstance the holder hereof shall ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance due hereunder and not to the payment of interest.
(e) This Note and all provisions hereof shall be binding upon Maker and all persons claiming under or through Maker, and shall inure to the benefit of Payee, together with its successors and assigns, including each owner and holder from time to time of this Note.
(f) Time is of the essence as to all dates set forth herein.
(g) Maker 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 Payee; and Maker consents to any indulgences and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers, or modifications that may be granted by Payee with respect to the payment or other provisions of this Note, and to any substitution, exchange or release of the collateral, or any part thereof, with or without substitution, and agrees to the addition or release of any makers, endorsers, guarantors, or sureties, all whether primarily or secondarily liable, without notice to Maker and without affecting its liability hereunder.
(h) Maker hereby waives and renounces for itself, its successors and assigns, all rights to the benefits of any statute of limitations and any moratorium, reinstatement, marshalling, forbearance, valuation, stay, extension, redemption, appraisement, or exemption and homestead laws now provided, or which may hereafter be provided, by the laws of the United States and of any state thereof against the enforcement and collection of the obligations evidenced by this Note.
(i) If this Note is placed in the hands of attorneys for collection or is collected through any legal proceedings, Maker promises and agrees to pay, in addition to the principal, interest and other sums due and payable hereon, all costs of collecting or attempting to collect this Note, including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements.
(j) All parties now or hereafter liable with respect to this Note, whether Maker, principal, surety, guarantor, endorsee or otherwise hereby severally waive presentment for payment, demand, notice of nonpayment or dishonor, protest and notice of protest. No failure to accelerate the indebtedness evidenced hereby, acceptance of a past due installment following the expiration of any cure period provided by this Note, any Loan Document or applicable law, or indulgences granted from time to time shall be construed (i) as a novation of this Note or as a reinstatement of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or as a waiver of such right of acceleration or of the right of Payee thereafter to insist upon strict compliance with the terms of this Note, or (ii) to prevent the exercise of such right of acceleration or any other right granted hereunder or by the laws of the State. Maker hereby 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.

Debtor covenants and agrees as follows:
3.01. Further Assurances.

SECURITY AGREEMENT | Page 5 |
(b) Debtor will from time to time at its expense promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary, or that Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any pledge, assignment or security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby, and the priority thereof, or to create or preserve the full benefits of this Security Agreement and the rights and powers of Secured Party herein granted, or to enable Secured Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any of the Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon written request by Secured Party, Debtor will: (i) mark conspicuously each item of Chattel Paper included in Accounts with the following legend:
THIS INSTRUMENT IS SUBJECT TO A SECURITY INTEREST AND LIEN PURSUANT TO A SECURITY AGREEMENT DATED DECEMBER 31, 2014 (AS THE SAME MAY BE MODIFIED OR RESTATED) MADE BY SUMTER PLACE TRS, LLC IN FAVOR OF KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND CERTAIN OTHER LENDERS, AS SECURED PARTY.
or such other legend, in form and substance satisfactory to and as specified by Secured Party, indicating that such item of Chattel Paper is subject to the pledge, assignment and security interest granted hereby; (ii) if any Collateral shall be evidenced by a promissory note or other Instrument or be Chattel Paper, deliver to Secured Party, such note, Instrument or Chattel Paper, duly endorsed and accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment, all in form and substance satisfactory to Secured Party; and (iii) execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary, or as Secured Party may request, in order to perfect and preserve the pledge, assignment and security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby with respect to any and all the Collateral.
(c) Debtor hereby authorizes Secured Party to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relating to all or any part of the Collateral without the signature of Debtor where and to the extent permitted by applicable law. A photocopy or other reproduction of this Security Agreement or any financing statement covering the Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where and to the extent permitted by applicable law.
(d) Debtor will furnish to Secured Party from time to time, upon the written request of Secured Party, statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral, and such other reports in connection with the Collateral, as Secured Party may reasonably request.
(e) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Debtor shall not establish or maintain any deposit or similar bank account other than as disclosed to Secured Party unless Secured Party receives prior written notice thereof, and Debtor executes and delivers to Secured Party assignments of such account in such form as Secured Party may request, and if requested by Secured Party, the financial institution in which such account will be maintained delivers to Secured Party an acknowledgment of the assignment of such account in form and substance satisfactory to Secured Party.
(f) In addition to such other information as shall be specifically provided for herein, Debtor shall furnish to Secured Party such other information with respect to the Collateral as Secured Party may reasonably request from time to time in connection with the Collateral, or the protection, preservation, maintenance or enforcement of the security interest or the Collateral, including, without limitation, all documents and things in Debtor’s possession, or subject to its demand for possession, related to the Collateral.
(g) Debtor shall, if any of the shares, securities, monies or property pledged or required to be pledged under Section 1.01 are received by Debtor, forthwith transfer and deliver to Secured Party such shares, securities, monies or property so received by Debtor (together with the certificates for any such shares and securities duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by undated stock powers duly executed in blank), all of which thereafter shall be held by Secured Party, pursuant to the terms of this Security Agreement, as part of the Collateral.
SECURITY AGREEMENT | Page 6 |
(h) Debtor shall, insofar as possible, upon the request of Secured Party (if Secured Party deems such action necessary for the perfection of the security interest in the Securities), cause the Securities to be transferred, registered or otherwise put into the name or names of such nominee or nominees of Secured Party as Secured Party shall from time to time direct. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (and after any Event of Default until, by notice to Debtor, Secured Party elects while the Event of Default is continuing to exercise the right to vote or consent), Debtor shall retain the right to exercise all voting, consensual and other power of ownership pertaining to the Securities owned by it for all purposes not inconsistent with the terms of this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document; and Secured Party shall execute and deliver to Debtor or cause to be executed and delivered to Debtor all such proxies, powers of attorney, dividend and other orders, and all such instruments, without recourse, for the purpose of enabling Debtor to exercise the rights and powers which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to this Section 3.01(h). Whether or not Secured Party exercises any available right to declare any Obligations due and payable or seeks or pursues any other relief or remedy available under applicable Laws or under any agreement relating to such Obligations, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all distributions and dividends on the Securities shall be paid directly to Secured Party and retained by it as part of the Collateral subject to the terms of this Security Agreement, and, if Secured Party shall so request, Debtor agrees to execute and deliver to Secured Party appropriate additional dividend, distribution and other orders and documents to that end.

(a) Debtor shall keep all of the Inventory and Equipment (other than Inventory sold in the ordinary course of business) at the place or places specified therefor in Section 2.01(a) or, upon thirty days’ prior written notice to Secured Party, at such other places in such jurisdiction where all action required by Section 3.01 shall have been taken with respect to such transferred Inventory and Equipment.
(b) Debtor shall pay promptly when due or before penalty all property and other taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon, and all claims (including claims for labor, materials and supplies) against, the Collateral pledged by it hereunder as provided in the Loan Agreement.
3.03. Insurance. Debtor will, at its own expense, maintain, or cause to be maintained, insurance on the Collateral as provided in the Loan Agreement, with Secured Party being named as loss payee and additional insured on all insurance policies which pertain to the Collateral. If Debtor fails to perform or observe any applicable covenants as to insurance on any of such Collateral, Secured Party may at its own option obtain insurance on such Collateral, and any premium therefor paid by Secured Party shall become part of the Obligations and shall bear interest prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default at the interest rate then applicable to the Notes, and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, at the Default Rate in effect under the Notes. In the event Secured Party maintains such substitute insurance, the additional premium for such insurance shall be due on demand and payable by Debtor to Secured Party in accordance with any notice delivered to Debtor by Secured Party. Debtor hereby grants Secured Party a security interest in any refunds of unearned premiums in connection with any cancellation, adjustment or termination of any policy of insurance required by Secured Party and in all proceeds of such insurance and hereby appoints Secured Party its attorney-in-fact to, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, endorse any check or draft that may be payable to Debtor in order to collect such refunds or proceeds.

(a) Debtor will not (i) change the location of its chief executive office from that specified in Schedule 1, or (ii) change its name, identity or corporate structure to such an extent that any financing statement filed by Secured Party in connection with this Security Agreement would become seriously misleading, or (iii) use any trade name, unless Debtor shall have given prior written notice as soon as practicable thereof, and prior to effecting any such change Debtor shall have taken such steps as Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to continue the perfection and priority of the security interest granted pursuant hereto.
SECURITY AGREEMENT | Page 7 |
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.04(b) or in any of the other Loan Documents, Debtor shall continue to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to become due Debtor under the Receivables, Chattel Paper and Instruments. In connection with such collections, Debtor may take (and, at Secured Party’s direction, shall take) such action as Debtor or Secured Party may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Receivables, Chattel Paper and Instruments; provided, however, that Secured Party shall have the right upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (without notice to Debtor) to notify the account debtors or obligors under any or all of the Collateral of the assignment of such Collateral to Secured Party and to direct such account debtors or obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to Debtor thereunder directly to Secured Party and, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, at the expense of Debtor, to enforce collection of any such Collateral and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as Debtor shall have been entitled. All Instruments, amounts and proceeds received by Debtor in respect of the Collateral after the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default shall be received in trust for the benefit of Secured Party hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of Debtor and shall be forthwith paid over to Secured Party in the same form as received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as collateral or applied to the Obligations. Except prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and in accordance with Debtor’s normal business policies and practices in effect on the date hereof, Debtor shall not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any Receivable, Chattel Paper or Instrument, release wholly or partly any account debtor or obligor thereof, or allow any credit or discount thereon.
3.05. Transfers and Other Liens. Debtor shall not, except in the ordinary course of business, (i) sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Collateral, or (ii) create or permit to exist any lien, security interest, option or other charge or encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the Collateral, except for the security interests in favor of Secured Party under this Security Agreement or any Permitted Lien; provided, however, that a Debtor may dispose of Collateral that is either broken, worn out or obsolete in the ordinary course of business provided that any such Debtor replaces such Collateral with new Collateral of at least comparable value and utility, and a Debtor may dispose of Collateral (for fair market value) that is no longer necessary for the operation of a Project.
3.06. Rights to Dividends and Distributions. With respect to any certificates, bonds, or other instruments or securities (including but not limited to any certificate or participation issued in any proceeding under any bankruptcy) constituting a part of the Collateral, Secured Party shall have authority after the occurrence of an Event of Default, without notice to Debtor, either to have the same registered in Secured Party’s name or in the name of a nominee, and, with or without such registration, to demand of the issuer thereof, and to receive, any and all Distributions (including any stock or similar dividend or distribution) payable in respect thereof, whether they be ordinary or extraordinary. If Debtor shall become entitled to receive or shall receive any interest in or certificate (including, without limitation, any interest in or certificate representing a Distribution or a distribution in connection with any reclassification, increase, or reduction of capital, or issued in connection with any reorganization), or any option or rights arising from or relating to any of the Collateral, whether as an addition to, in substitution of, as a conversion of, or in exchange for any of the Collateral, or otherwise, Debtor agrees to accept the same as Secured Party’s agent and to hold the same in trust on behalf of and for the benefit of Secured Party, and to deliver the same immediately to Secured Party in the exact form received, with appropriate undated stock or similar powers, duly executed in blank, to be held by Secured Party, subject to the terms hereof, as Collateral. Secured Party shall be entitled to all Distributions, and to any sums paid upon or in respect of any Collateral, upon the liquidation, dissolution, or reorganization of the issuer thereof which shall be paid to Secured Party to be held by it as additional collateral security for the Obligations and application to the Obligations at the discretion of Secured Party. All Distributions paid or distributed in respect of the Collateral which are received by Debtor in violation of this Security Agreement shall, until paid or delivered to Secured Party, be held by Debtor in trust as additional Collateral for the Obligations.
3.07. Right of Secured Party to Notify Issuers. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, Secured Party may notify issuers of the Instruments and Securities to make payments of all Distributions directly to Secured Party, and Secured Party may take control of all proceeds of any Instruments and/or Securities. Until Secured Party elects to exercise such rights, Debtor, as agent of Secured Party, shall collect and segregate all Distributions and other amounts paid or distributed with respect to the Instruments and Securities.
3.08. Maintenance of Records. Debtor will keep and maintain at its own cost and expense satisfactory and complete records of the Collateral, including, without limitation, a record of all payments received and all credits granted with respect to the Receivables. Debtor will make its books and records pertaining to the Collateral to evidence this Security Agreement and the security interests granted hereby.
SECURITY AGREEMENT | Page 8 |

Debtor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Secured Party and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Debtor and in the name of Debtor or in its own name, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Security Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Debtor hereby gives Secured Party the power and right, on behalf of Debtor, without notice to or assent by Debtor, to do the following:
(1) in the case of any Collateral, in the name of Debtor or its own name, or otherwise, to take possession of and indorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under, or with respect to, any Collateral and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by Secured Party for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due or with respect to such Collateral whenever payable;
(2) to pay or discharge taxes and liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, to effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Security Agreement and to pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof; and
(3) (i) to direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to Secured Party or as Secured Party shall direct; (ii) to ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (iii) to sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (iv) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (v) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Debtor with respect to any Collateral; (vi) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in the preceding clause and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Secured Party may deem appropriate; (vii) to assign any trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such trademark pertains), throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as Secured Party shall in its sole discretion determine; and (viii) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Secured Party’s option and Debtor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which Secured Party deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the liens of Secured Party thereon and to effect the intent of this Security Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Debtor might do.
This power of attorney is power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the Obligations shall have been paid in full or this Security Agreement shall have been terminated.
(b) Other Powers. Debtor also authorizes Secured Party at any time and from time to time, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 4.04, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral.
SECURITY AGREEMENT | Page 10 |
(c) No Duty on the Part of Secured Party. The powers conferred on Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect the interests of Secured Party in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Secured Party to exercise any such powers. Secured Party shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Debtor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, IT BEING THE INTENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT SECURED PARTY SHALL NOT BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR ITS OWN NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SOLE, COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR OTHERWISE).
4.04. Remedies. The occurrence of an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement shall constitute a default of this Security Agreement. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Secured Party may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to Secured Party in this Security Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Secured Party, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon Debtor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, offenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in Debtor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Debtor further agrees, at Secured Party’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Secured Party at places which Secured Party shall reasonably select, whether at Debtor’s premises or elsewhere. Secured Party shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of Secured Party hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as Secured Party may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by Secured Party of any other amount required by any provision of law, need Secured Party account for the surplus, if any, to Debtor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Debtor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against Secured Party arising out of the exercise of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least five (5) days before such sale or other disposition. Debtor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
4.05. Indemnity and Expenses. (a) Debtor agrees to indemnify Secured Party from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or resulting from this Security Agreement or the security interest granted herein, or any of the Collateral (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Security Agreement), EXPRESSLY INCLUDING SUCH CLAIMS, LOSSES OR LIABILITIES ARISING OUT OF THE MERE NEGLIGENCE OF SECURED PARTY (WHETHER SOLE, COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY, OR OTHERWISE), except claims, losses or liabilities resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Secured Party.
(b) Debtor will upon demand pay to Secured Party the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, which Secured Party or, as to the matters described in clauses (iii) or (iv) below, Secured Party may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Security Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Secured Party hereunder or (iv) the failure by Debtor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof. Any such amounts so made shall be a part of the Obligation, shall be payable upon demand, and if not paid upon demand shall bear interest at the Default Rate in effect under the Notes.

GUARANTY AGREEMENT
THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT (“Guaranty”) made as of December 31, 2014, by SENTIO HEALTHCARE PROPERTIES, INC., a Maryland corporation (“Guarantor”), to and for the benefit of KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, as administrative agent for the benefit of the Lenders, its successors and assigns (“Agent”).
RECITALS
A. On or about the date hereof, Sumter Place Owner, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (collectively with Sumter Grand Borrower after the Sumter Grand Closing, “Borrowers”), Agent and the Lenders entered into that certain Secured Loan Agreement (“Loan Agreement”) whereby the Lenders agreed to make a secured term loan (the “Loan”) available to Borrowers in the maximum aggregate amount at any time outstanding not to exceed the sum of Fifty-Three Million One Hundred Fifty-Four Thousand Six Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($53,154,600.00), for the acquisition of the leasehold covering the Sumter Place Project and the equity in Sumter Grand Borrower in connection with the Projects.
B. In connection with the Loan, Borrowers have executed and delivered one or more promissory notes (collectively, the “Notes”), of even date herewith and payable to the order of the Lenders in the aggregate amount of $53,154,600.00, payment of which is secured by (i) the Mortgages and (ii) the other Loan Documents.
C. Guarantor will derive financial benefit from the Loan evidenced and secured by the Notes, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents.
D. The Lenders have relied on the statements and agreements contained herein in agreeing to make the Loan. The execution and delivery of this Guaranty by Guarantor is a condition precedent to the making of the Loan by the Lenders.
E. Initially capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings respectively ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement.
AGREEMENTS
NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound, Guarantor, in consideration of the matters described in the foregoing Recitals, which Recitals are incorporated herein and made a part hereof, and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, hereby covenants and agrees with Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees, participants and assigns as follows:
1. Guarantor absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Lender:
(a) the full and prompt payment of any Enforcement Costs (as hereinafter defined in Section 8 hereof);
(b) any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability or obligation suffered or incurred by the Lenders arising out of, on account of, or in connection with the misapplication or conversion of any tenant security deposits, insurance proceeds, condemnation awards, or any proceeds from the sale of a portion of any Project received by any Borrower and not delivered over to Agent or used to restore the Project in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement;
(c) any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability or obligation suffered or incurred by the Lenders arising out or on account of or based upon any fraud or willful misrepresentation of a material fact by any Borrower or Guarantor in any document executed or presented to Agent or any Lender in connection with the Loan;
GUARANTY AGREEMENT | Page 1 |
(d) any amount(s) necessary to repair or replace any damage to or destruction of any Project which is the result of willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of any Borrower including, without limitation, waste, any act of arson or malicious destruction by any Borrower;
(e) any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability or obligation suffered or incurred by the Lenders out of or on account of or based upon the failure to maintain insurance as required by the Loan Documents or the failure to timely pay insurance premiums for any such required insurance for any Project;
(f) any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability or obligation suffered or incurred by the Lenders out of or on account of or based upon the failure to timely pay any valid real estate taxes for any Project which could create liens on any portion of any Project which would be superior to the lien or security title of the applicable Mortgage or the other Loan Documents, to the full extent of the amount claimed by any such lien claimant, except to the extent such loss results from Lenders’ failure to pay any valid real estate taxes for any Project from funds escrowed pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement;
(g) the aggregate amount outstanding under the Loan Documents upon any Borrower (i) making a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; (ii) filing a petition, answer or consent seeking, or having entered against it an order for relief (or any similar remedy) under any provision of Title 11 of the United States Code or any other federal, state or foreign Law relating to insolvency, bankruptcy, rehabilitation, liquidation or reorganization, or consent to the institution of any proceedings thereunder; (iii) convening a meeting of its creditors, or any class thereof, for the purpose of effecting a moratorium upon or extension or composition of its debts; (iv) admitting in writing that it is generally not able to pay its debts as they mature; or (v) applying for a consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, liquidator or other similar official of all or a portion of its assets; and
(h) any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability or obligation suffered or incurred by the Lenders arising out of, on account of, or in connection with a distribution by any Borrower of Monthly Excess Cash Flow in violation of the provisions of the Loan Documents.
All amounts due, debts, liabilities and payment obligations described in subsections (a) – (h) of this Section 1 shall be hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Guaranteed Indebtedness.”
2. In the event of any default by Borrowers in the payment of the Guaranteed Indebtedness, after the expiration of any applicable cure or grace period, Guarantor agrees, on demand by Agent or the holder of any Note, to pay the Guaranteed Indebtedness regardless of any defense, right of set-off or claims which any Borrower or Guarantor may have against Agent or any Lender or the holder of any Note.
3. All of the remedies set forth herein and/or provided for in any of the Loan Documents or at law or equity shall be equally available to Agent and the Lenders, and the choice by Agent or the Lenders of one such alternative over another shall not be subject to question or challenge by Guarantor or any other person, nor shall any such choice be asserted as a defense, setoff, or failure to mitigate damages in any action, proceeding, or counteraction by Agent to recover or seeking any other remedy under this Guaranty, nor shall such choice preclude Agent from subsequently electing to exercise a different remedy. The parties have agreed to the alternative remedies provided herein in part because they recognize that the choice of remedies in the event of a default hereunder will necessarily be and should properly be a matter of good faith business judgment, which the passage of time and events may or may not prove to have been the best choice to maximize recovery by Agent and the Lenders at the lowest cost to Borrowers and/or Guarantor. It is the intention of the parties that such good faith choice by Agent or any Lender be given conclusive effect regardless of such subsequent developments.
GUARANTY AGREEMENT | Page 2 |
4. Guarantor does hereby (a) waive notice of acceptance of this Guaranty by Agent and the Lenders and any and all notices and demands of every kind which may be required to be given by any statute, rule or law, (b) agree to refrain from asserting, until after repayment in full of the Loan, any defense, right of set-off or other claim which such Guarantor may have against any Borrower, (c) waive any defense, right of set-off or other claim which any Borrower or Guarantor may have against any Agent, any Lender, or the holder of any Note, (d) waive any and all rights such Guarantor may have under any anti-deficiency statute or other similar protections, (e) waive presentment for payment, demand for payment, notice of nonpayment or dishonor, protest and notice of protest, diligence in collection and any and all formalities which otherwise might be legally required to charge such Guarantor with liability, and (f) waive any failure by Agent or any Lender to inform such Guarantor of any facts Agent or any Lender may now or hereafter know about any Borrower, any Project, the Loan, or the transactions contemplated by the Loan Agreement, it being understood and agreed that neither Agent nor any Lender has any duty so to inform and that such Guarantor is fully responsible for being and remaining informed by Borrowers of all circumstances bearing on the risk of nonperformance of any Borrower’s obligations. Credit may be granted or continued from time to time by the Lenders to any Borrower without notice to or authorization from Guarantor, regardless of the financial or other condition of such Borrower at the time of any such grant or continuation. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with Guarantor its assessment of the financial condition of such Borrower. Guarantor acknowledges that no representations of any kind whatsoever have been made by Agent or any Lender. No modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Guaranty shall be binding upon Agent or any Lender except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and delivered by Agent on behalf of the Lenders.
5. Guarantor further agrees that Guarantor’s liability as guarantor shall in not be impaired or affected by any renewals or extensions which may be made from time to time, with or without the knowledge or consent of such Guarantor of the time for payment of interest or principal under the Notes or by any forbearance or delay in collecting interest or principal under the Notes, or by any waiver by Agent or any Lender under the Loan Agreement, any Mortgage or any other Loan Documents, or by Agent’s or any Lender’s failure or election not to pursue any other remedies it may have against any Borrower or Guarantor, or by any change or modification in any Note, the Loan Agreement, any Mortgage or any other Loan Document, or by the acceptance by Agent or any Lender of any additional security or any increase, substitution or change therein, or by the release by Agent or any Lender of any security or any withdrawal thereof or decrease therein, or by the application of payments received from any source to the payment of any obligation other than the Guaranteed Indebtedness even though Agent or any Lender might lawfully have elected to apply such payments to any part or all of the Guaranteed Indebtedness, it being the intent hereof that, subject to Agent’s and the Lenders’ compliance with the terms of this Guaranty, Guarantor shall remain liable for the payment of the Guaranteed Indebtedness, until the Guaranteed Indebtedness has been paid in full, notwithstanding any act or thing which might otherwise operate as a legal or equitable discharge of a surety. Guarantor further understands and agrees that Agent and the Lenders may at any time enter into agreements with Borrowers to amend and modify the Notes, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgages or other Loan Documents, and may waive or release any provision or provisions of the Notes, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgages and other Loan Documents or any thereof, and, with reference to such instruments, may make and enter into any such agreement or agreements as Agent, the Lenders and Borrowers may deem proper and desirable, without in any manner impairing or affecting this Guaranty or any of Agent’s or Lenders’ rights hereunder or Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.
6. This is an absolute, present and continuing guaranty of payment and not of collection. Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty may be enforced by Agent on behalf of the Lenders without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any other security or collateral given in connection herewith or with the Notes, the Loan Agreement, any Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents through foreclosure or sale proceedings, as the case may be, under any Mortgage or otherwise, or resorting to any other guaranties, and Guarantor hereby waives any right to require Agent or any Lender to join any Borrower in any action brought hereunder or to commence any action against or obtain any judgment against any Borrower or to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. Guarantor further agrees that nothing contained herein or otherwise shall prevent Agent on behalf of the Lenders from pursuing concurrently or successively all rights and remedies available to it at law and/or in equity or under the Notes, the Loan Agreement, any Mortgage or any other Loan Documents, and the exercise of any of its rights or the completion of any of its remedies shall not constitute a discharge of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, it being the purpose and intent of such Guarantor that the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances whatsoever. None of Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty or any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by any impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of any Borrower under the Notes, the Loan Agreement, any Mortgage or other Loan Documents or by reason of the bankruptcy of any Borrower or by reason of any creditor or bankruptcy proceeding instituted by or against any Borrower. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated (as the case may be) if at any time payment of all or any part of any sum payable pursuant to the Notes, the Loan Agreement, any Mortgage or any other Loan Document is rescinded or otherwise required to be returned by Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation, or reorganization of any Borrower, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor, custodian or conservator of or trustee or similar officer for, any Borrower or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment to Agent or such Lender had not been made, regardless of whether Agent or such Lender contested the order requiring the return of such payment. In the event of the foreclosure of the Mortgage and of a deficiency, Guarantor hereby promises and agrees forthwith to pay the amount of such deficiency notwithstanding the fact that recovery of said deficiency against Borrowers would not be allowed by applicable law; however, the foregoing shall not be deemed to require that Agent on behalf of the Lenders institute foreclosure proceedings or otherwise resort to or exhaust any other collateral or security prior to or concurrently with enforcing this Guaranty.
GUARANTY AGREEMENT | Page 3 |
7. In the event any Lender or any holder of any Note shall assign any Note to any lender or other entity to secure a loan from such lender or other entity to any Lender or such holder for an amount not in excess of the amount which will be due, from time to time, from Borrowers to any Lender under such Note with interest not in excess of the rate of interest which is payable by Borrowers under such Note, Guarantor will accord full recognition thereto and agree that all rights and remedies of such Lender or such holder hereunder shall be enforceable against such Guarantor by such lender or other entity with the same force and effect and to the same extent as would have been enforceable by such lender or such holder but for such assignment; provided, however, that unless Agent shall otherwise consent in writing, Agent shall have an unimpaired right, prior and superior to that of its assignee or transferee, to enforce this Guaranty for Lender’s benefit to the extent any portion of the Guaranteed Indebtedness or any interest therein is not assigned or transferred.
8. If: (a) this Guaranty is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or is collected through any legal proceeding; (b) an attorney is retained to represent Agent or any Lender in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, or other proceedings affecting creditors’ rights and involving a claim under this Guaranty; (c) an attorney is retained to provide advice to Agent or any Lender or other representative of Agent or any other Lender in any proceedings whatsoever in connection with this Guaranty and Agent or such Lender prevails in such proceedings, then Guarantor shall pay to Agent or such Lender upon demand all reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (all of which are referred to herein as “Enforcement Costs”), in addition to all other amounts due hereunder, regardless of whether all or a portion of such Enforcement Costs are incurred in a single proceeding brought to enforce this Guaranty as well as the other Loan Documents.
9. The parties hereto intend and believe that each provision in this Guaranty comports with all applicable local, state and federal laws and judicial decisions. However, if any provision or provisions, or if any portion of any provision or provisions, in this Guaranty is found by a court of law to be in violation of any applicable local, state or federal ordinance, statute, law, administrative or judicial decision, or public policy, and if such court should declare such portion, provision or provisions of this Guaranty to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written, then it is the intent of all parties hereto that such portion, provision or provisions shall be given force to the fullest possible extent that they are legal, valid and enforceable, that the remainder of this Guaranty shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable portion, provision or provisions were not contained therein, and that the rights, obligations and interest of Agent and the Lenders under the remainder of this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect.
10. TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE MARSHALLING OF ASSETS BY AGENT. WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY (EACH, A “PROCEEDING”), AGENT (BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF) AND GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY (A) SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS HAVING JURISDICTION IN THE CITY OF CLEVELAND AND STATE OF OHIO, AND (B) WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE AT ANY TIME TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT, WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY PROCEEDING HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND FURTHER WAIVES THE RIGHT TO OBJECT, WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PROCEEDING, THAT SUCH COURT DOES NOT HAVE JURISDICTION OVER SUCH PARTY. NOTHING IN THIS GUARANTY SHALL PRECLUDE AGENT FROM BRINGING A PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION NOR WILL THE BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY ONE OR MORE JURISDICTIONS PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. AGENT AND GUARANTOR FURTHER AGREE AND CONSENT THAT, IN ADDITION TO ANY METHODS OF SERVICE OF PROCESS PROVIDED FOR UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ALL SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY PROCEEDING IN ANY OHIO STATE OR UNITED STATES COURT SITTING IN THE CITY OF CLEVELAND AND MAY BE MADE BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, DIRECTED TO THE APPLICABLE PARTY AT THE ADDRESS INDICATED BELOW, AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE COMPLETE UPON RECEIPT; EXCEPT THAT IF SUCH PARTY SHALL REFUSE TO ACCEPT DELIVERY, SERVICE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETE FIVE (5) DAYS AFTER THE SAME SHALL HAVE BEEN SO MAILED.
GUARANTY AGREEMENT | Page 4 |
11. Any indebtedness of any Borrower to Guarantor now or hereafter existing is hereby subordinated to the payment of the Guaranteed Indebtedness. Guarantor agrees that, until the entire Guaranteed Indebtedness has been paid in full, no Guarantor will seek, accept, or retain for its own account, any payment from such Borrower on account of such subordinated debt. Any payments to Guarantor on account of such subordinated debt shall be collected and received by Guarantor in trust for the Lenders and shall be paid over to Agent for the benefit of the Lenders on account of the Guaranteed Indebtedness without impairing or releasing the obligations of Guarantor hereunder.
12.

13. GUARANTOR AND AGENT (BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF) HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHT UNDER THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR RELATING THERETO OR ARISING FROM THE LENDING RELATIONSHIP WHICH IS THE SUBJECT OF THIS GUARANTY AND AGREE THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.

Exhibit 10.28
PAYMENT GUARANTY
THIS PAYMENT GUARANTY (“Guaranty”) made as of December 31, 2014, by SUMTER PLACE TRS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Guarantor”), to and for the benefit of KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, as administrative agent for the benefit of the Lenders, its successors and assigns (“Agent”).
RECITALS
A. On or about the date hereof, Sumter Place Owner, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (collectively with Sumter Grand Borrower after the Sumter Grand Closing, “Borrowers”), Agent and the Lenders entered into that certain Secured Loan Agreement (“Loan Agreement”) whereby the Lenders agreed to make a secured term loan (the “Loan”) available to Borrowers in the maximum aggregate amount at any time outstanding not to exceed the sum of Fifty-Three Million One Hundred Fifty-Four Thousand Six Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($53,154,600.00), for the acquisition of the leasehold covering the Sumter Place Project and the equity in Sumter Grand Borrower in connection with the Projects.
B. In connection with the Loan, Borrowers have executed and delivered one or more promissory notes (collectively, the “Notes”), of even date herewith and payable to the order of the Lenders in the aggregate amount of $53,154,600.00, payment of which is secured by (i) the Mortgages and (ii) the other Loan Documents.
C. Guarantor will derive financial benefit from the Loan evidenced and secured by the Notes, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents.
D. The Lenders have relied on the statements and agreements contained herein in agreeing to make the Loan. The execution and delivery of this Guaranty by Guarantor is a condition precedent to the making of the Loan by the Lenders.
E. Initially capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings respectively ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement.
AGREEMENTS
NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound, Guarantor, in consideration of the matters described in the foregoing Recitals, which Recitals are incorporated herein and made a part hereof, and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, hereby covenants and agrees with Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees, participants and assigns as follows:
1. Guarantor absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees:
(a) the full and prompt payment of (i) the principal of and interest on the Notes when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, and (ii) all sums other than those set forth in (i) which may now be or may hereafter become due and owing under the Notes, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents;
(b) the prompt, full and complete performance of all of Borrower’s obligations under each and every covenant contained in the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the Indemnity;
(c) the full and prompt payment of any Enforcement Costs (as hereinafter defined in Section 9 hereof);
PAYMENT GUARANTY (Sumter Place) | Page 1 |
(d) any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability or obligation suffered or incurred by the Lenders arising out of, on account of, or in connection with the intentional misapplication or conversion of any tenant security deposits, insurance proceeds, condemnation awards, or any proceeds from the sale of a portion of any Project received by any Borrower and not delivered over to Agent or used to restore the applicable Project in accordance with Article 10 of the Loan Agreement;
(e) any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability or obligation suffered or incurred by the Lenders arising out or on account of or based upon any fraud or willful misrepresentation of a material fact by any Borrower in any document executed or presented to Agent or any Lender in connection with the Loan;
(f) any amount(s) necessary to repair or replace any damage to or destruction of any Project which is the result of intentional misconduct or gross negligence on the part of any Borrower including, without limitation, waste, any act of arson or malicious destruction by any Borrower;
(g) any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability or obligation suffered or incurred by the Lenders out of or on account of or based upon the failure to maintain insurance as required by the Loan Documents or the failure to timely pay insurance premiums for any such required insurance for any Project;
(h) to the extent any Project generates sufficient income to pay for the same and subject to any right to contest such matters as provided in the Loan Documents, any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability or obligation suffered or incurred by the Lenders out of or on account of or based upon the failure to timely pay any valid real estate taxes for such Project which could create liens on any portion of such Project which would be superior to the lien or security title of the applicable Mortgage or the other Loan Documents, to the full extent of the amount claimed by any such lien claimant, except to the extent such loss results from Lenders’ failure to pay any valid real estate taxes for any Project from funds escrowed pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement; and
(i) any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability or obligation suffered or incurred by the Lenders out of or on account of or based upon any Borrower (i) making a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; (ii) filing a petition, answer or consent seeking, or having entered against it an order for relief (or any similar remedy) under any provision of Title 11 of the United States Code or any other federal, state or foreign Law relating to insolvency, bankruptcy, rehabilitation, liquidation or reorganization not dismissed within 60 days, or consent to the institution of any proceedings thereunder; (iii) convening a meeting of its creditors, or any class thereof, for the purpose of effecting a moratorium upon or extension or composition of its debts; (iv) admitting in writing that it is generally not able to pay its debts as they mature or generally not pay its debts as they mature; or (v) applying for a consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, liquidator or other similar official of all or a portion of its assets.
All amounts due, debts, liabilities and payment obligations described in subsections (a) – (i) of this Section 1 shall be hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Guaranteed Indebtedness”.
2. In the event of any default by Borrowers in the payment of the Indebtedness, after the expiration of any applicable cure or grace period, Guarantor agrees, on demand by Agent or the holder of any Note, to pay the Guaranteed Indebtedness regardless of any defense, right of set-off or claims which Borrowers or Guarantor may have against Agent or any Lender or the holder of any Note.
3. All of the remedies set forth herein and/or provided for in any of the Loan Documents or at law or equity shall be equally available to Agent and the Lenders, and the choice by Agent or the Lenders of one such alternative over another shall not be subject to question or challenge by Guarantor or any other person, nor shall any such choice be asserted as a defense, setoff, or failure to mitigate damages in any action, proceeding, or counteraction by Agent to recover or seeking any other remedy under this Guaranty, nor shall such choice preclude Agent from subsequently electing to exercise a different remedy. The parties have agreed to the alternative remedies provided herein in part because they recognize that the choice of remedies in the event of a default hereunder will necessarily be and should properly be a matter of good faith business judgment, which the passage of time and events may or may not prove to have been the best choice to maximize recovery by Agent and the Lenders at the lowest cost to Borrowers and/or Guarantor. It is the intention of the parties that such good faith choice by Agent or any Lender be given conclusive effect regardless of such subsequent developments.
PAYMENT GUARANTY (Sumter Place) | Page 2 |
4. Guarantor does hereby (a) waive notice of acceptance of this Guaranty by Agent and the Lenders and any and all notices and demands of every kind which may be required to be given by any statute, rule or law, (b) agree to refrain from asserting, until after repayment in full of the Loan, any defense, right of set-off or other claim which Guarantor may have against Borrowers (c) waive any defense, right of set-off or other claim which Guarantor or Borrower may have against Agent or any Lender, or the holder of any Note, (d) waive any and all rights Guarantor may have under any anti-deficiency statute or other similar protections, (e) waive presentment for payment, demand for payment, notice of nonpayment or dishonor, protest and notice of protest, diligence in collection and any and all formalities which otherwise might be legally required to charge Guarantor with liability, and (f) waive any failure by Agent or any Lender to inform Guarantor of any facts Agent or any Lender may now or hereafter know about Borrowers, the Projects, the Loan, or the transactions contemplated by the Loan Agreement, it being understood and agreed that neither Agent nor any Lender has any duty so to inform and that Guarantor is fully responsible for being and remaining informed by Borrowers of all circumstances bearing on the risk of nonperformance of Borrowers’ obligations. Credit may be granted or continued from time to time by the Lenders to Borrowers without notice to or authorization from Guarantor, regardless of the financial or other condition of Borrowers at the time of any such grant or continuation. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with Guarantor its assessment of the financial condition of any Borrower. Guarantor acknowledges that no representations of any kind whatsoever have been made by Agent or any Lender. No modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Guaranty shall be binding upon Agent or any Lender except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and delivered by Agent on behalf of the Lenders.
5. Guarantor further agrees that Guarantor’s liability as guarantor shall in not be impaired or affected by any renewals or extensions which may be made from time to time, with or without the knowledge or consent of Guarantor of the time for payment of interest or principal under the Notes or by any forbearance or delay in collecting interest or principal under the Notes, or by any waiver by Agent or any Lender under the Loan Agreement, the Mortgages or any other Loan Documents, or by Agent’s or any Lender’s failure or election not to pursue any other remedies it may have against any Borrower or Guarantor, or by any change or modification in the Notes, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgages or any other Loan Document, or by the acceptance by Agent or any Lender of any additional security or any increase, substitution or change therein, or by the release by Agent or any Lender of any security or any withdrawal thereof or decrease therein, or by the application of payments received from any source to the payment of any obligation other than the Guaranteed Indebtedness even though Agent or any Lender might lawfully have elected to apply such payments to any part or all of the Guaranteed Indebtedness, it being the intent hereof that, subject to Agent’s and the Lenders’ compliance with the terms of this Guaranty, Guarantor shall remain liable for the payment of the Guaranteed Indebtedness, until the Guaranteed Indebtedness has been paid in full, notwithstanding any act or thing which might otherwise operate as a legal or equitable discharge of a surety. Guarantor further understands and agrees that Agent and the Lenders may at any time enter into agreements with Borrower to amend and modify the Notes, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgages or other Loan Documents (other than this Guaranty), and may waive or release any provision or provisions of the Notes, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgages and other Loan Documents (other than this Guaranty) or any thereof, and, with reference to such instruments, may make and enter into any such agreement or agreements as Agent, the Lenders and Borrowers may deem proper and desirable, without in any manner impairing or affecting this Guaranty or any of Agent’s or Lenders’ rights hereunder or Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.
PAYMENT GUARANTY (Sumter Place) | Page 3 |
6. This is an absolute, present and continuing guaranty of payment and not of collection. Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty may be enforced by Agent on behalf of the Lenders without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any other security or collateral given in connection herewith or with the Notes, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgages or any of the other Loan Documents through foreclosure or sale proceedings, as the case may be, under the Mortgages or otherwise, or resorting to any other guaranties, and Guarantor hereby waives any right to require Agent or any Lender to join Borrowers in any action brought hereunder or to commence any action against or obtain any judgment against Borrowers or to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. Guarantor further agrees that nothing contained herein or otherwise shall prevent Agent on behalf of the Lenders from pursuing concurrently or successively all rights and remedies available to it at law and/or in equity or under the Notes, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgages or any other Loan Documents, and the exercise of any of its rights or the completion of any of its remedies shall not constitute a discharge of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, it being the purpose and intent of Guarantor that the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances whatsoever. None of Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty or any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by any impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of any Borrower under the Notes, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgages or other Loan Documents or by reason of the bankruptcy of any Borrower or by reason of any creditor or bankruptcy proceeding instituted by or against any Borrower. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated (as the case may be) if at any time payment of all or any part of any sum payable pursuant to the Notes, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgages or any other Loan Document is rescinded or otherwise required to be returned by Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation, or reorganization of any Borrower, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor, custodian or conservator of or trustee or similar officer for, any Borrower or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment to Agent or such Lender had not been made, regardless of whether Agent or such Lender contested the order requiring the return of such payment. In the event of the foreclosure of the Mortgages and of a deficiency, Guarantor hereby promises and agrees forthwith to pay the amount of such deficiency notwithstanding the fact that recovery of said deficiency against Borrowers would not be allowed by applicable law; however, the foregoing shall not be deemed to require that Agent on behalf of the Lenders institute foreclosure proceedings or otherwise resort to or exhaust any other collateral or security prior to or concurrently with enforcing this Guaranty.
7. Reserved.
8. In the event any Lender or any holder of any Note shall assign any Note to any lender or other entity to secure a loan from such lender or other entity to any Lender or such holder for an amount not in excess of the amount which will be due, from time to time, from Borrowers to any Lender under such Note with interest not in excess of the rate of interest which is payable by Borrowers under such Note, Guarantor will accord full recognition thereto and agree that all rights and remedies of such Lender or such holder hereunder shall be enforceable against Guarantor by such lender or other entity with the same force and effect and to the same extent as would have been enforceable by such lender or such holder but for such assignment; provided, however, that unless Agent shall otherwise consent in writing, Agent shall have an unimpaired right, prior and superior to that of its assignee or transferee, to enforce this Guaranty for Lender’s benefit to the extent any portion of the Guaranteed Indebtedness or any interest therein is not assigned or transferred.
9. If: (a) this Guaranty is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or is collected through any legal proceeding; (b) an attorney is reasonably required and retained to represent Agent or any Lender in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, or other proceedings affecting creditors’ rights and involving a claim under this Guaranty; (c) an attorney is retained to provide advice or other representation with respect to this Guaranty; or (d) an attorney is retained to represent Agent or any Lender in any proceedings whatsoever in connection with this Guaranty and Agent or such Lender prevails in such proceedings, then Guarantor shall pay to Agent or such Lender upon demand all reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (all of which are referred to herein as “Enforcement Costs”), in addition to all other amounts due hereunder, regardless of whether all or a portion of such Enforcement Costs are incurred in a single proceeding brought to enforce this Guaranty as well as the other Loan Documents.
10. The parties hereto intend and believe that each provision in this Guaranty comports with all applicable local, state and federal laws and judicial decisions. However, if any provision or provisions, or if any portion of any provision or provisions, in this Guaranty is found by a court of law to be in violation of any applicable local, state or federal ordinance, statute, law, administrative or judicial decision, or public policy, and if such court should declare such portion, provision or provisions of this Guaranty to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written, then it is the intent of all parties hereto that such portion, provision or provisions shall be given force to the fullest possible extent that they are legal, valid and enforceable, that the remainder of this Guaranty shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable portion, provision or provisions were not contained therein, and that the rights, obligations and interest of Agent and the Lenders under the remainder of this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect.
PAYMENT GUARANTY (Sumter Place) | Page 4 |
11. TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE MARSHALLING OF ASSETS BY AGENT. WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY (EACH, A “PROCEEDING”), AGENT (BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF) AND GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY (A) SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS HAVING JURISDICTION IN THE CITY OF CLEVELAND AND STATE OF OHIO, AND (B) WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE AT ANY TIME TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT, WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY PROCEEDING HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND FURTHER WAIVES THE RIGHT TO OBJECT, WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PROCEEDING, THAT SUCH COURT DOES NOT HAVE JURISDICTION OVER SUCH PARTY. NOTHING IN THIS GUARANTY SHALL PRECLUDE AGENT FROM BRINGING A PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION NOR WILL THE BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY ONE OR MORE JURISDICTIONS PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. AGENT AND GUARANTOR FURTHER AGREE AND CONSENT THAT, IN ADDITION TO ANY METHODS OF SERVICE OF PROCESS PROVIDED FOR UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ALL SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY PROCEEDING IN ANY OHIO STATE OR UNITED STATES COURT SITTING IN THE CITY OF CLEVELAND AND MAY BE MADE BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, DIRECTED TO THE APPLICABLE PARTY AT THE ADDRESS INDICATED BELOW, AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE COMPLETE UPON RECEIPT; EXCEPT THAT IF SUCH PARTY SHALL REFUSE TO ACCEPT DELIVERY, SERVICE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETE FIVE (5) DAYS AFTER THE SAME SHALL HAVE BEEN SO MAILED.
12. Any indebtedness of Borrowers to Guarantor now or hereafter existing is hereby subordinated to the payment of the Guaranteed Indebtedness. Guarantor agrees that, until the entire Guaranteed Indebtedness has been paid in full, Guarantor will not seek, accept, or retain for its own account, any payment from Borrowers on account of such subordinated debt. Any payments to Guarantor on account of such subordinated debt shall be collected and received by Guarantor in trust for the Lenders and shall be paid over to Agent for the benefit of the Lenders on account of the Guaranteed Indebtedness without impairing or releasing the obligations of Guarantor hereunder.
13. Any amounts received by the Lenders from any source on account of the Loan may be utilized by the Lenders for the payment of the Guaranteed Indebtedness and any other obligations of Borrowers to the Lenders in such order as the Lenders may from time to time elect. Additionally, if the Guaranteed Indebtedness guaranteed hereby is less than the full indebtedness evidenced by the Notes, all rents, proceeds and avails of each Project, including proceeds of realization of the Lenders’ collateral, shall be deemed applied on the Guaranteed Indebtedness of Borrowers to the Lenders that is not guaranteed by Guarantor until such unguaranteed indebtedness of Borrowers to the Lenders has been fully repaid before being applied upon the Guaranteed Indebtedness guaranteed by Guarantor.
14. GUARANTOR AND AGENT (BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF) HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHT UNDER THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR RELATING THERETO OR ARISING FROM THE LENDING RELATIONSHIP WHICH IS THE SUBJECT OF THIS GUARANTY AND AGREE THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.
15. Any notice, demand, request or other communication which any party hereto may be required or may desire to give hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given (a) if hand delivered, when delivered; (b) if mailed by United States Certified Mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested), three Business Days after mailing (c) if by Federal Express or other reliable overnight courier service, on the next Business Day after delivered to such courier service or (d) if by telecopier on the day of transmission so long as copy is sent on the same day by overnight courier as set forth below:

(iii) | Utility charges, if any, based on utility charges for the month immediately preceding the Closing; |
(iv) | Real property taxes, which for the year 2014 shall be pro-rated based upon the actual 2014 tax amounts, if available, and if not, available, then upon the estimated assessed value of $16,750,000 for 2014 and applying either (a) the 2014 tax rate, or (b) to the extent the 2014 tax rate is unavailable, the 2013 tax rate. Should actual taxes for the current year vary from estimated taxes, each party shall have the right to demand and receive from the other a re-proration of taxes and reimbursement for the prorated amount or variation thereof up to one (1) year after Closing; and |
Buyer and Seller shall prepare a proposed schedule (the “Proration Schedule”) prior to Closing, that shall include the items listed above and any other applicable income and expenses with regard to the Property. Seller and Buyer will use all reasonable efforts to finalize and agree upon the Proration Schedule at least two (2) business days prior to Closing.
7 |

(c) With respect to any amounts held by Seller in a resident escrow or trust account under any Property Agreement, at or promptly following Closing, Seller shall return the same to the depositor thereof (to the extent the amounts held in any such accounts have not been applied against amounts owing by the depositor thereof in accordance with the terms of the applicable Property Agreement). With respect to any cash security or other deposits actually held by Seller pursuant to the Property Agreements (i.e., other than amounts held in a resident escrow or trust account), at Closing Seller shall credit Buyer for all such deposits (to the extent such security or other deposits have not been applied against delinquent amounts owing under such Property Agreements as provided therein).
(d) Seller shall receive all income from and shall be responsible for all expenses of the Property attributable to the period prior to the Proration Date, unless otherwise provided for in this Agreement. In the event Buyer receives any payment from a tenant for rent due for any period prior to the Proration Date or payment of any other receivable of Seller, Buyer shall forward such payment to Seller. To the extent not prorated as of Closing, payments received by Seller shall be first applied by Buyer and Seller to those amounts which were billed first.
(e) Buyer shall receive all income from and shall be responsible for all expenses of the Property attributable to the period from and after the Proration Date, unless otherwise provided for in this Agreement. In the event Seller or Seller’s Affiliates receive any payment from a tenant for rent due for any period from and after the Proration Date, Seller shall forward such payment to Buyer.
(f) The parties agree that any amounts that may become due under this Section 2.5 shall be paid at Closing as can best be determined (such amount, the “Preliminary Adjustment Amount”). A post-Closing reconciliation of pro-rated items shall be made by the Buyer and Seller within ninety (90) days after Closing and any amounts due at that time shall be promptly forwarded to the respective party in a lump sum payment. Any additional amounts which may become due after such determination shall be forwarded at the time they are received. Any amounts due under this Section 2.5 which cannot be determined within ninety (90) days after Closing shall be reconciled as soon thereafter as such amounts can be determined. Any amounts due under this Section 2.5 after the Closing shall be referred to as the “Post-Closing Adjustment Amounts”. Buyer and Seller agree that each shall have the right to audit the records of the other for up to one (1) year following Closing in connection with any such post-Closing reconciliation.
(g) Buyer shall receive a credit towards the Purchase Price for the Accrued Employee Benefits and any other obligations as otherwise expressly agreed by the Buyer and Seller.
(h) This Section 2.5 shall survive the Closing.

Escrow Agent shall incur no liability in connection with the safekeeping or disposition of the Escrowed Funds for any reason other than Escrow Agent’s breach of contract, willful misconduct or gross negligence. Escrow Agent shall be reimbursed by Buyer and Seller for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with its obligations hereunder with each Buyer and Seller being responsible for ½ of the amounts due Escrow Agent unless due to the default of one particular party under this Agreement, in which case all of the out-of-pocket costs shall be attributable to the Party at fault. If Escrow Agent is in doubt as to its duties or obligations with regard to the Escrowed Funds, or if the Escrow Agent receives conflicting instructions from Buyer and Seller with respect to the Escrowed Funds, the Escrow Agent shall not be required to disburse the Escrowed Funds and may, at its option, continue to hold the Escrowed Funds until both Buyer and Seller agree as to their disposition, or until a final judgment is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction directing their disposition, or the Escrow Agent may interplead the Escrowed Funds in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio. Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for the preservation of principal or any interest on the Escrowed Funds except as is actually earned, or for the loss of any interest or principal resulting from the withdrawal of the Escrowed Funds prior to the date interest is posted thereon.
(b) The Escrow Agent may resign upon written notice to the Seller and Buyer. If a successor escrow agent is not appointed by the Seller and Buyer within this thirty (30) day period, the Escrow Agent may, but shall have no duty to, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to name a successor. If no successor escrow agent is appointed within thirty (30) days after such written notice, the Escrow Agent may withhold performance by it pursuant to Section 2.6(a) until such time as a successor escrow agent is appointed and, at such time, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrowed Funds or other documents, instruments or items, if any, delivered to the Escrow Agent hereunder to any such successor escrow agent; provided, however, the Escrow Agent shall act in accordance with any joint written instructions from the Seller and Buyer.
(c) The Escrow Agent may be removed, with or without cause, by the Buyer and Seller acting jointly at any time by providing written notice to the Escrow Agent.
(d) This Section 2.6 shall survive the Closing or the expiration or any termination of this Agreement.

CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO THE
OBLIGATION OF BUYER TO CLOSE
Buyer’s obligation to close pursuant to the terms of this Agreement is subject to the satisfaction, on or prior to the Closing, of each of the following conditions, unless waived by Buyer in writing:
7.1 Accuracy of Representations and Warranties; Closing Certificate. Except for any changes permitted by the terms of this Agreement or consented to in writing by Buyer, each of the representations and warranties made by Seller in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant to Section 9.2 that is qualified as to knowledge or materiality shall be true and correct in all respects when made and shall be true and correct in all respects at and as of the Closing as though such representations and warranties were made or given on and as of the Closing, and each of such representations and warranties that is not qualified as to knowledge or materiality shall be true and correct when made and shall be true and correct in all material respects at and as of the Closing as though such representations and warranties were made or given on and as of the Closing. For purposes of determining whether the representations and warranties made by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement are true and correct at and as of the Closing, the Schedules and Exhibits shall be deemed to include only that information contained therein on the date such Schedules and Exhibits are acknowledged pursuant to Section 12.13 and, and shall be deemed to exclude any information disclosed to Buyer pursuant to Section 6.2 or otherwise.
22 |
7.2 Performance of Agreement. Seller and its Affiliates shall have performed in all material respects all of their covenants, agreements and obligations required by this Agreement to be performed or complied with by them prior to or upon the Closing.

(i) accept Seller’s interest in the Real Property subject to such Title Defect(s) or Required Cure Item(s), in which event such Title Defect(s) or Required Cure Item(s) shall become part of the Permitted Exceptions, and to close the transaction contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
(ii) pay any amount necessary, not to exceed $200,000, to cure the Agreed Upon Title Defect or Required Cure Item(s) and deduct such amount from the Purchase Price; or
(iii) by giving Seller written notice of Buyer’s election, terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Earnest Money Deposit, in which event no party shall have any further rights or obligations to the other hereunder, except for such rights and obligations that, by the express terms hereof, survive any termination of this Agreement. If Buyer elects to proceed with the Closing without giving notice of its election of this option (ii), it will be deemed to have accepted such Title Defect(s) or Required Cure Item(s)as Permitted Exceptions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in section shall limit the right of the Buyer to pursue any and all remedies provided in Section 11.2 of this Agreement as a result of Seller’s default.
23 |
(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller covenants and agrees that at or prior to Closing, Seller shall (i) pay or cause to be paid in full and cause to be canceled and discharged or otherwise bond and discharge as liens against the Property all mechanics’, materialmen’s, repairmen’s, contractors’ or other similar Liens which encumber the Property as of the Effective Date created by, through or under Seller or which may be filed against the Property after the Effective Date created by, through or under Seller and on or prior to the Closing Date, (ii) pay or cause to be paid in full all past due ad valorem taxes and assessments of any kind constituting a lien against the Property which are due and payable, and (iii) all judgments which have attached to and become a lien against the Property by, through or under Seller.

7.9 Delivery of Closing Documents. Seller shall have delivered or caused to be delivered to Buyer on the Closing each of the Documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 9.2.
7.10 Licenses.
(a) To the extent necessary and permitted or required by Applicable Laws, Seller shall have completed the transfer and assignment of all the Licenses listed on Exhibit D to the Post-Closing Licensee at or prior to the Closing. To the extent that any such Licenses are not transferable or assignable by Seller, the Post-Closing Licensee shall have obtained, at the Buyer’s sole cost and expense, in the Post-Closing Licensee’s own name, the Licenses, and Seller shall, and shall cause Existing Manager to, reasonably cooperate with the Post-Closing Licensee in obtaining such Licenses at or prior to Closing. The Post-Closing Licensee shall submit all necessary License applications within ten (10) business days after the Effective Date and shall thereafter diligently pursue all required Licenses. If any Licenses cannot be obtained by the Post-Closing Licensee at or prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall have the right to extend the Closing as provided for in Section 11.2(a) for a period of ninety (90) days.
(b) In the event the regulatory authorities (i) assert that there are violations and require repairs or alterations to be made to cure such violations which are, in the aggregate, greater than $5,000.00, or (ii) assess fines as a result of operational issues and require such fines to be paid prior to issuing Licenses to the Post-Closing Licensee or prior to confirming to Buyer that the Licenses are in place, no material violations exist, and the Property is in good standing, the Seller’s performance of all such required repairs and alterations at Seller’s expense and payment of any and all such fines by Seller shall be a condition to Buyer’s Closing. If any operational changes are required by such regulatory authorities as a condition to issuing Licenses, Seller’s implementing such action at Seller’s expense shall be a material obligation and condition to Closing. If Seller fails to take such foregoing actions, Buyer shall have the remedy available under Section 11.2(a).
24 |
(c) If any of the Licenses cannot be obtained by the Post-Closing Licensee at or prior to the Closing, alternative arrangements that are reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, Seller, and Tenant shall have been implemented to assure that the Post-Closing Licensee shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, rules and regulations, have the benefit of such Licenses, and Seller and the Post-Closing Licensee shall cooperate and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Licenses for the Post-Closing Licensee or to complete the transfer and assignment of the Licenses by Seller, whichever is applicable, as contemplated in the foregoing sentences promptly after the Closing. For example, but not by way of limitation, in the event the required Licenses have not been transferred, issued or re-issued as of the Closing with respect to the Property, as required by Applicable Law and regulations, Seller, Tenant and the Buyer shall enter into a sublease (the “Transition Period Sublease”), on terms and conditions mutually acceptable to the parties thereto in the form substantially to that attached hereto as Exhibit L, so that the Property may continue to be operated on and after the Closing pending the transfer, issuance or re-issuance of such required Licenses. This subsection shall survive the Closing until the earlier to occur of (i) the issuance of the Licenses to Buyer or Tenant, or (ii) the termination of the Transition Period Sublease, if any.
(d) Sections 7.10(a) and (b) shall survive Closing.
7.11 Termination of Existing Leases & Management Agreements Buyer shall have received evidence from Seller, satisfactory to Buyer in its sole discretion, that the lease agreement entered into between Seller and any master tenant, and the management agreement between Seller and Existing Manager have been terminated without fee or cost to Buyer.
7.12 Governmental Approvals. Seller shall have obtained all authorizations, consents, orders, or approvals of, shall have made all declarations or filings with, and shall have allowed the expiration of waiting periods imposed by, any governmental agencies necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

7.13 Third-Party Consents. Seller shall have obtained the consents to assignment, waivers and similar instruments described on Schedule 7.13 hereto, which schedule shall be agreed upon and completed by the parties prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period.
7.14 Management Agreement. On or before the Closing Date, Buyer and Existing Manager shall have entered into an agreement (the “Management Agreement”) for the continued management of the Property by Existing Manager in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit M.

ARTICLE X
INDEMNIFICATION
10.1 General. The rights to indemnification set forth in this ARTICLE X and the other rights described in this Agreement shall be in addition to all other rights to monetary damages that any party (or the party’s successors or permitted assigns) would otherwise have by Applicable Law in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Document; provided, however, that neither party shall have the right to be compensated more than once for the same monetary damage.
10.2 Indemnification by Seller. From and after Closing, Seller shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Buyer, Tenant and each of their officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, Affiliates, successors and assigns from and against, and pay or reimburse each of them for and with respect to, any Loss relating to, arising out of or resulting from any of the following:
(a) Any breach by Seller of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement or any other Document; and
(b) The ownership, operation or control of the Property prior to the Closing, including without limitation, any and all liabilities which relate to events occurring prior to the Closing, regardless of when they are asserted or whether such was disclosed to Buyer and regardless of whether such was a breach of any representation, warranty, or covenant by Seller, except for (i) Assumed Obligations, and (ii) obligations, indebtedness or liabilities to the extent of any Adjustment Amount credited to the Buyer.
(c) Claims by any other party claiming to have represented Seller as broker or agent in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

29 |
10.4 Administration of Indemnification. For purposes of administering the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 10.2 and Section 10.3, the following procedure shall apply:
(a) Whenever a claim shall arise for indemnification under this ARTICLE X, the party entitled to indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give a reasonably prompt written notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) setting forth in reasonable detail, to the extent then available, the facts concerning the nature of such claim and the basis upon which the Indemnified Party believes that it is entitled to indemnification hereunder.
(b) In the event of any claim for indemnification resulting from or in connection with any claim by a third party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, at its sole expense, either (i) to participate in defending against such claim or (ii) to assume the entire defense with counsel which is selected by it and which is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, provided that no settlement shall be made and no judgment consented to without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If, however, (x) the claim, action, suit or proceeding would, if successful, result in the imposition of damages for which the Indemnifying Party would not be solely responsible, or (y) representation of both parties by the same counsel would otherwise be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, then the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the entire defense and each party shall be entitled to retain counsel who shall cooperate with one another in defending against such claim. In the case of clause (x), the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to bear only that portion of the expense of the Indemnified Party’s counsel that is in proportion to the damages indemnifiable by the Indemnifying Party compared to the total amount of the third-party claim against the Indemnified Party. In the case of clause (y), the Indemnifying Party shall pay all costs of defense of both itself and the actual, reasonable, out-of-pocket costs of the Indemnified Party.
(c) If the Indemnifying Party does not choose to defend against a claim by a third party, the Indemnified Party may defend in such manner as it deems appropriate or settle the claim (after giving notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party) on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate, and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to periodic reimbursement from the Indemnifying Party of reasonable defense expenses incurred and prompt indemnification from the Indemnifying Party in accordance with this ARTICLE X.
(d) Failure or delay by an Indemnified Party to give a reasonably prompt notice of any claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect an Indemnifying Party’s obligations with respect to the claim, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party can demonstrate actual Loss or prejudice as a result of such failure or delay. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties agree that no indemnification right or obligation shall apply to the extent any such Loss or expense is paid to an Indemnified Party by an insurance company.
(e) The right to pursue indemnification as set forth in Sections 10.2(a) and 10.3(a) shall survive the Closing hereunder for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Closing, and the right to pursue indemnification as set forth in all other Sections of this ARTICLE X shall survive the Closing hereunder indefinitely.
30 |
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the right to pursue indemnification as set forth in this ARTICLE X shall be actionable or payable only if valid claims for Losses, if any, collectively aggregate more than TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND and No/100 U.S. Dollars ($25,000.00 (the “Floor”), provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply in the case of fraud on the part of Buyer, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates, or to any claims arising under Section 10.2(b) or Section 10.3(b) (none of which shall be limited in any manner whatsoever). In addition, Buyer agrees to concurrently seek recovery against Seller, under any insurance policies, the Title Policy and other applicable agreements, and Seller shall not be liable to Buyer to the extent Buyer’s claim is actually satisfied from any sums recovered from such insurance policies, Title Policy or other applicable agreements. FINALLY, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY EVER BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OTHER THAN IN THE EVENT OF FRAUD.
10.5 Guaranty. In order to secure the indemnities provided by Seller and other obligations of Seller provided for herein, at Closing, Michael Wojno, Randy Theken and Philip Maynard agree to provide a personal, joint and several, guaranty to Buyer in the cumulative amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (the “Guaranty”) for a period of eighteen (18) months from the Closing in the form attached as Exhibit J to this Agreement.

(h) In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 11.1 or pursuant to any other express provision of this Agreement for any reason other than a default by the Seller or Buyer hereunder, then (i) this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect as of the date of delivery of such written notice of termination, (ii) the Buyer and Seller shall equally share the cancellation charges, if any, of the Escrow Agent and Title Insurer, (iii) no party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder other than pursuant to any provision hereof which expressly survives the termination of this Agreement, and (iv) all Escrowed Funds shall be released to the party entitled to the same in accordance with Section 2.4 hereof.

(ii) Waive any such conditions, title objections or defaults and consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement in the same manner as if there had been no title objections, conditions or defaults without any reduction in the Purchase Price and without any further claim against the Seller therefor and, if necessary, pursue an action for specific performance.

If at the time a party gives a termination notice, such party is entitled to give such notice pursuant to more than one Subsection of ARTICLE XI, the Subsection pursuant to which such notice is given and termination is effected shall be deemed to be the section specified in such notice provided that the party giving such notice is at such time entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the specified section.
11.6 Sole and Exclusive Remedy.

12.6 Governing Law. This Agreement shall in all respects be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Real Property is located without regard to its principles of conflicts of laws. Venue for any dispute shall be in Summit County, Ohio.

To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the parties hereto hereby waive any provision of Applicable Law now or hereafter in effect which renders any provision hereof unenforceable in any respect.

35 |
12.13 Schedules and Exhibits. Each Schedule and Exhibit referred to in this Agreement shall be deemed to be attached hereto and incorporated by reference even though it may be maintained separately from this Agreement or completed after the Effective Date so long as it is acknowledged as a Schedule or an Exhibit to this Agreement by the parties hereto as of Closing. Any item disclosed hereunder (including in the Schedules and Exhibits hereto) shall be deemed disclosed for all purposes hereof irrespective of the specific representation or warranty to which it is explicitly referenced. The Schedules and Exhibits shall be prepared by Seller and mutually agreed to by the parties within five (5) business days after the Effective Date. The parties agree to cooperate and act in good faith during the preparation of such documents.

In the event either party brings an action to enforce or interpret any of the provisions of this Agreement, the “prevailing party” in such action shall, in addition to any other recovery, be entitled to its costs, fees and expenses incurred in the dispute, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ and expert witness. For purposes of this Section 12.14, “prevailing party” shall mean, in the case of a person asserting a claim, such person is successful in obtaining substantially all of the relief sought, and in the case of a person defending against or responding to a claim, such person is successful in denying substantially all of the relief sought.
12.15 Reserved.
12.16 Casualty. The risk of any loss or damage to the Property by fire or other casualty before the Closing shall continue to be borne by Seller. Seller shall promptly give Buyer written notice of any fire or other casualty (in any event within five (5) days after Seller first has Knowledge of the occurrence of same), which notice shall include a description thereof in reasonable detail and an estimate of the cost of time to repair. If (i) any portion of the Property is damaged by fire or casualty after the Effective Date and is not repaired and restored substantially to its original condition prior to Closing, or (ii) at the time of Closing the estimated cost of repairs as to the Property is ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND U.S. DOLLARS ($100,000.00) or less, as determined by an independent adjuster selected by Seller, Buyer shall be required to purchase the Property in accordance with this Agreement, and Buyer shall, at Buyer’s option, either: (x) receive a credit at Closing of the estimated cost or repairs to the Property, as determined by the aforesaid independent adjuster, plus any reasonably estimated lost revenue following Closing arising from such fire or casualty; or (y) receive from Seller at Closing (I) an assignment, without representation or warranty by or recourse against Seller, of all insurance claims and proceeds with respect thereto, plus (II) an amount equal to Seller’s insurance deductible, plus (III) a credit for the amount of any reasonably estimated lost revenue following Closing arising from such fire or casualty. If the estimated cost of repairing such damage to the Property is more than ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND U.S. DOLLARS ($100,000.00), as determined by such independent adjuster, Buyer may, at its sole option: (x) terminate this Agreement by notice to Seller on or before the earlier of the Closing or the tenth (10th) day after receipt of such notice described above, in which event no party shall have any further liability to the party under this Agreement; or (y) proceed to Closing as provided in this Section 12.16. In no event shall the amount of insurance proceeds assigned to Buyer under this subparagraph (plus the amount of the deductible) exceed the lesser of (i) the cost of repair or (ii) the Purchase Price. The parties’ obligations, if any, under this Section 12.16 shall survive the expiration or any termination of this Agreement.
36 |
12.17 Condemnation. The risk of any loss or damage to the Property by condemnation before the Closing shall continue to be borne by Seller. In the event any condemnation proceeding is commenced or threatened, Seller shall promptly give Buyer written notice thereof (in any event within five (5) days after Seller first has Knowledge of the occurrence of same), together with such reasonable details with respect thereto as to which Seller may have Knowledge. If, prior to Closing, there is a material taking by eminent domain at the Property, this Agreement shall become null and void at Buyer’s option, and upon receipt by Seller of the written notice of an election by Buyer to treat this Agreement as null and void, this Agreement shall be deemed null and void. If Buyer elects to proceed and to consummate the purchase despite said material taking, or if there is less than a material taking prior to Closing, there shall be no reduction in or abatement of the Purchase Price and Buyer shall be required to purchase the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and Seller shall assign to Buyer, without representation of warranty by or recourse against Seller, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to any award made or to be made in the condemnation proceeding (in which event Buyer shall have the right to participate in the adjustment and settlement of any insurance claim relating to said damage). For the purpose of this Section 12.17, the term “material” shall mean any taking of in excess of five percent (5%) of the square footage of the Property or ten percent (10%) of the Real Property associated with the Property. The parties’ obligations, if any, under this Section 12.17 shall survive the expiration or any termination of this Agreement.
12.18 Limited Liability. Except as it relates to the Guaranty, no past, present, or future member, partner, shareholder, director, officer of employee of any party to this Agreement shall have any liability or obligation of any nature whatsoever in connection with or under this Agreement or Document contemplated hereby or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any such other agreement.
12.19 Non-controlled Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided elsewhere in this Agreement, none of the provisions of this Agreement shall in any way limit the activities of Affiliates of Buyer that are not under Buyer’s control (“Non-controlled Affiliates”), including, without limitation, Sentinel RE Investment Holdings LP (“Sentinel”) or any other Affiliates of Sentinel, KKR & Co., L.P. or KKR Financial Holdings, LLC, or the respective directors, officers, employees, equity-holders, managers, members, general or limited partners, advisors, agents or other representatives of such Non-controlled Affiliates. For purposes of this Section 12.18, "control" means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of an entity or enterprise, whether through the ownership of voting securities, through other voting rights, by contract or otherwise.
12.20 Survival of Defined Terms. Where this Agreement provides that a term or provision shall survive the Closing or the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, any defined terms contained in ARTICLE I that are used in such surviving term or provision shall also survive.
12.21 Time of Essence. Time shall be of the essence with respect to all matters contemplated by this Agreement.
37 |
12.22 No Third-Party Beneficiary. The provisions of this Agreement and of the documents to be executed and delivered at Closing are and will be for the benefit of the Buyer, Seller, and Escrow Agent only and are not for the benefit of any third party; and, accordingly, no third party shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or of the documents to be executed and delivered at Closing.
12.23 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY EACH PARTY, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. ANY PARTY IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY EACH PARTY HERETO.
