records, are maintained in all material respects in accordance with applicable
Healthcare Requirements.
(z) Neither
the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, nor

AND LOAN DOCUMENTS

($9,802,500.00), for the purposes and subject to all of the terms, provisions
and conditions contained in this Agreement.

notify third parties of the security interests intended to be created by the
Loan Documents. The foregoing authorization includes Borrowers’
irrevocable authorization for Lender at any time and from time to time to file
any initial financing statements and amendments thereto that describe the
collateral as “all assets” of Borrowers or words of similar effect.
4.3 Allocation

(a) The
principal amount of the Loan shall be allocated between the Facilities as

ARTICLE
5.
LOAN
STRUCTURE PROVISIONS.
5.1 Cross-Default
and Cross-Collateralization.
In
consideration of the benefits to Borrowers from the Loan, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Borrowers agree as
follows:
(a) The
occurrence of any Security Instrument Default shall be an Event of Default under
this Agreement.
17
(b) Each
Borrower acknowledges and agrees that because each of the Security Instruments
secures the entire Loan and a Security Instrument Default with respect to any
Facility will be an Event of Default under this Agreement, each Borrower has a
direct and material interest in preventing the occurrence of an Event of
Default. Accordingly each Borrower is willing to commit to make or receive loans
(each an "Intra-Party
Loan" and collectively, the "Intra-Party
Loans") in order to provide for the payment of all amounts due under the
Loan Documents and, in so doing, to avoid an Event of Default hereunder.
Borrowers each acknowledge and agree that Lender is an intended third party
beneficiary of Borrowers' obligations hereunder. If and to the extent
that net revenues from any Facility (herein, a “Contributing
Facility”) are applied to make payments on the Loan in excess of the
payments due on the Allocated Loan Amount with respect to the Contributing
Facility, the Borrower who owns the Contributing Facility shall be deemed to
have made an Intra-Party Loan to the other Borrowers (proportionate to their
respective Allocated Loan Amounts) in the amount of such proceeds so
applied.
(c) All
Intra-Party Loans deemed to be made under this Agreement shall be evidenced by
this Agreement, shall be an obligation of the party which owes such Intra-Party
Loan to the party making same solely by its execution of this Agreement, shall
not be evidenced by any separate instrument and, notwithstanding anything
contained herein or in the other Loan Documents to the contrary, shall not be
prohibited hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents. Each
Borrower waives presentment, notice of dishonor, protest and notice of
non-payment or non-performance with respect to each Intra-Party Loan for which
it is liable under this Agreement. Intra-Party Loans shall be subject
and subordinate in all cases to the terms, conditions and liens of the Loan
Documents, and revenues from the other Facilities shall be the sole and
exclusive source of payment of any Intra-Party Loan. Intra-Party
Loans may be repaid in whole or in part provided there is then no Default or
Event of Default and no Default or Event of Default would result from such
repayment.
5.2 Loan
Structure.
Each
Borrower acknowledges that (i) the Loan is evidenced by and made pursuant to the
Note and that the Note shall be secured by the Security Instruments; (ii) the
Note provides for joint and several liability of each Borrower; (iii) any
nonpayment of principal or interest, whether or not resulting from one
Borrower’s failure to pay any portion of the Note or any installment of
principal or interest due thereunder as may be agreed among Borrowers to be
payable by another one or more of the Borrowers, may result in an Event of
Default under the Loan Documents and acceleration of the Loan; (iv) in that
event, all proceeds of the foreclosure sale of each Borrower’s Facility may be
applied to satisfy the Note; and (v) such foreclosure sale proceeds may be
applied to satisfy the Note even if the value of such Borrower’s Facility is
greater than the Loan Amount allocable to such Facility as agreed among the
Borrowers hereunder.
5.3 Certain
Consequences of Loan Structure.
Each
Borrower has been informed and understands that the consequence of becoming
obligated under the Security Instruments is that each Borrower’s Facility is
being encumbered as collateral for the entire Loan without any specific
agreed-upon reconveyance price, and that even upon prepayment in part of the
Loan allocated among the Borrowers to a particular
18
Facility,
that Facility owned by a particular Borrower will not necessarily be reconveyed
if the Loan remains outstanding. Each Borrower further understands
and has been informed that if an Event of Default occurs under the Loan
Documents, all Borrowers must act together for purposes of curing such Event of
Default, and that the failure to do so could result in the foreclosure and sale,
and ultimate loss, of each Borrower’s respective Facility.
5.4 Allocation
and Distribution of Loan Proceeds.
Borrowers
have agreed that the Loan proceeds shall be allocated among the Facilities in
accordance with Section 4.3
above. Each Borrower agrees that it shall jointly and severally
reimburse and indemnify each other Borrower (each, an “Indemnitee”) for any losses suffered or
paid by the Indemnitee (including payments of the Loan and the loss of the
Indemnitee’s’ Facility or Facilities as a result of the exercise of the remedies
under the Loan Documents) because (i) such Borrower fails to make its
allocated share of payments under the Loan (based on the Allocated Loan Amounts
for which the respective Borrowers are liable, as agreed among themselves, as
set forth in Section
4.3 above), or
(ii) at the time of foreclosure or transfer by deed in lieu of foreclosure,
the actual value of such Borrower’s Facility or Facilities has declined
proportionately more (based on the percentages reflected by such pro rata share)
than the Indemnitee’s Facility or Facilities since the date of this
Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the other
Loan Documents to the contrary, any such payment shall not be prohibited
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents.
5.5 Representations
Regarding Loan Structure and Terms.
Each
Borrower represents and warrants to Lender as follows:
(a) The Loan
has been structured as one loan to Borrowers in the aggregate rather than as a
number of smaller loans to each Borrower at the request of
Borrowers.
(b) The
interest rates and repayment terms of the Loan are more favorable than those
that each individual Borrower could have obtained on its own without such
“pooling” of the Facilities as security for the Loan, and without the
cross-collateralization, cross-default, and joint and several liability features
of the Loan Documents.
(c) The
structure of the Loan has been devised in order to accommodate Borrower’s
existing operational structure in order to best serve Borrowers’ collective
interests, and to enable Lender to assign a collective value to the Facilities
in an amount greater than they otherwise would have if each Facility had been
separately financed.
5.6 Representations
Regarding Borrowers’ Solvency.
Borrowers
represent and warrant to Lender as follows:
(a) The
application of the Loan proceeds constitutes reasonably equivalent value in
exchange for all of the transfers for security made and obligations incurred by
each Borrower under the Loan Documents.
(b) No
Security Instrument is being executed by any Borrower for or on account of any
antecedent debt owed by any Borrower to any Lender.
19
(c) No
Borrower is insolvent as of the date hereof.
(d) The
execution, delivery and, where applicable, the recordation or filing of the
Security Instruments is intended by Borrowers and Lender to be a contemporaneous
exchange for new value given to Borrowers and shall in fact be a substantially
contemporaneous exchange.
(e) The
transfers for security made and obligations incurred by Borrowers under the Loan
Documents are not made with actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any
entity to which any Borrower was, is, or subsequently becomes
indebted.
(f) No
Borrower is or shall be insolvent (as defined above) on the date that any
transfer is to be made or obligation to be incurred under the terms of the Loan
Documents, nor shall any Borrower become insolvent as a result of such transfer
or obligation.
(g) No
Borrower is engaged in business or a transaction, or is about to engage in
business or a transaction, for which any property remaining with such Borrower
is an unreasonably small amount of capital in relation to such business or
transaction.
(h) No
Borrower intends to incur, or believes that it will incur, debts that would be
beyond such Borrowers ability to pay as such debts mature.
5.7 Indemnity.
Borrowers,
severally and jointly, shall hold harmless, protect, indemnify and defend Lender
against any losses suffered or incurred by Lender in the event any warranty or
representation by any Borrower in this Article 5 is false or
misleading, or contains a statement of fact, which if not accurate, would make
such warranty or representation false or misleading.
ARTICLE

INTEREST
6.1 Interest
Rate.
(a) The Loan
will bear interest at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate which will be the Applicable Rate
hereunder, unless the Default Rate is applicable. Adjustments in the
Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall occur on the first day of each calendar month
throughout the term.
(b) If Lender
determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrowers,
absent manifest error) (i) that no adequate basis exists for determining the
LIBOR Rate, or (ii) that, due to circumstances affecting the London interbank
market generally, the LIBOR Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost
to Lender of funding the Loan, or (iii) that any applicable Law or regulation or
compliance therewith by Lender prohibits or restricts or makes impossible the
charging of interest based on the LIBOR Rate, or (iv) that the Adjusted LIBOR
Rate would be in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower may by law
pay and Lender so notifies Borrowers in writing, then until Lender notifies
Borrowers in writing that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no
longer exist, interest shall accrue and be payable at the Adjusted Prime
Rate.
20
(c) Interest
at the Applicable Rate (whether the Adjusted LIBOR Rate or Default Rate, as
applicable) 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.
6.2 Interest
Rate Agreements.
(a) If
Borrowers institute an interest rate hedging program through the purchase of an
interest rate swap, cap or such other interest rate protection product (“Interest Rate
Protection Product”) from Lender or any Affiliate of Lender, Borrowers
shall enter into such party’s customary form of agreement (“Interest Rate
Agreement”) relating to such Interest Rate Protection
Product. Any indebtedness incurred pursuant to an Interest Rate
Agreement entered into by Borrowers and Lender shall constitute indebtedness
evidenced by the Note and secured by the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents
to the same extent and effect as if the terms and provisions of such Interest
Rate Agreement were set forth herein, whether or not the aggregate of such
indebtedness, together with the disbursements made by Lender of the proceeds of
the Loan, shall exceed the face amount of the Note.
(b) Borrowers
hereby collaterally assign to Lender any and all Interest Rate Protection
Products purchased or to be purchased by Borrowers in connection with the Loan,
as additional security for the Loan, and agree to provide Lender with any
additional documentation requested by Lender in order to confirm or perfect such
security interest during the term of the Loan. If Borrowers obtain an
Interest Rate Protection Product from a party other than Lender, Borrowers shall
deliver to Lender such third party’s consent to such collateral
assignment. No Interest Rate Protection Product purchased from a
third party may be secured by an interest in any Borrower or the
Facilities.

COSTS
OF MAINTAINING LOAN
7.1 Increased
Costs and Capital Adequacy.
(a) Borrowers
recognize that the cost to Lender of maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof
may fluctuate and, Borrowers agree to pay Lender additional amounts to
compensate Lender 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
Lender (other than taxes imposed on all or any portion of the overall net income
or receipts of 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 Lender (which includes the Loan or any applicable portion thereof), or
(C) imposing on 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 Lender of maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof or to
reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable from Borrowers by Lender
under the Loan Documents; or
21
(ii) the
maintenance by 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 such Lender’s capital to a level below that which such Lender
would have achieved but for such application, adoption, change or compliance
(taking into consideration the policies of such Lender with respect to capital
adequacy), then, from time to time Borrower shall pay to such Lender such
additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction with
respect to any portion of the Loan outstanding.
(c) Any
amount payable by Borrowers under Section 7.1 (a) or (b) shall be
paid within five (5) days of receipt by Borrowers of a certificate signed by an
authorized officer of Lender 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 Lender
to demand payment from Borrowers for any such amount attributable to any
particular period shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to demand
payment of such amount for any subsequent or prior period. Lender
shall use reasonable efforts to deliver to Borrowers prompt notice of any event
described in Section 7.1 (a) or (b) 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 Lender to so notify Borrowers shall not affect
Borrowers’ obligation to pay the reserve and capital adequacy payment resulting
therefrom.
7.2 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 Lender
or any franchise tax imposed on Lender), duties or other charges from any
payment due under the Note to the maximum extent permitted by law, the sum due
from Borrowers 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.

Documents, or to protect, collect, lease, sell, take possession of, or liquidate

its Organizational Documents, (ii) the admission of any new member, or (iii) any
dissolution or termination of its existence.
10.18 Management
Contracts.
No
Borrower shall enter into, modify, amend, terminate or cancel any management
contracts for the Facilities or agreements with agents or brokers, without the
prior written approval of Lender, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed.
10.19 Furnishing
Notices.
Borrowers
shall provide Lender with copies of all material notices pertaining to the
Facilities received by any Borrower or the Master Tenant from any Governmental
Authority or insurance company within seven (7) days after such notice is
received.
10.20 Authorized
Representative.
Borrowers
appoint Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxx as their authorized representative (“Authorized
Representative”) for purposes of dealing with Lender on behalf of
Borrowers in respect of any and all matters in connection with this Agreement,
the other Loan Documents, and the Loan. The Authorized Representative
shall have the power, in his discretion, to give and receive all notices,
monies, approvals, and other documents and instruments, and to take any other
action on behalf of Borrowers. All actions by the Authorized
Representative shall be final and binding on Borrowers. Lender may
rely on the authority given to the Authorized Representative until actual
receipt by Lender of a duly authorized resolution substituting a different
person as the Authorized Representative. No more than one person
shall serve as Authorized Representative at any given time.
10.21 Single
Purpose Entity Provisions.
(a) The sole
purpose for which each Borrower is organized is to acquire, own, hold, maintain
and operate its Facility, together with such other activities as may be
necessary or advisable in connection with such limited purpose. No
Borrower shall engage in any business
31
unrelated
to the foregoing purpose and shall not acquire any real property or own assets
other than those in furtherance of the limited purposes of such
Borrower.
(b) No
Borrower shall have the authority to perform any act in violation of any
(i) applicable laws or regulations or (ii) the Loan Documents.
(c) No
Borrower shall during the term of the Loan and/or prior to the full and
indefeasible repayment of the Loan:
(i) except
for Intra-Party Loans or otherwise as permitted by Lender in writing, make any
loans to any member of Borrower or any Affiliate of any member;
(ii) dissolve,
wind up or liquidate Borrower;
(iii) merge,
consolidate or acquire all or substantially all of the assets of any other
entity; or
(iv) change
the nature of the business of Borrower.
(d) No
Borrower shall, and no person or entity on behalf of Borrower shall: (a)
institute proceedings to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent; (b) consent to
the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against Borrower; (c)
file a petition seeking, or consenting to, reorganization or relief under any
applicable federal or state law relating to bankruptcy; (d) consent to the
appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other
similar official) of Borrower or a substantial part of its property; (e) make
any assignment for the benefit of creditors; (f) admit in writing Borrower’s
inability to pay its debts generally as they become due or declare or effect a
moratorium on its debts; or (g) take any action in furtherance of any such
action.
(e) Borrowers
shall at times observe the applicable legal requirements for the recognition of
each Borrower as a legal entity separate from any of its Affiliates, including,
without limitation, as follows:
(i) Each
Borrower shall hold itself out to the public (including any of its Affiliates’
creditors) under such Borrower’s own name and as a separate and distinct entity
and not as a department, division or otherwise of any Affiliate.
(ii) Each
Borrower shall observe all customary formalities regarding the existence of
Borrower.
(iii) Each
Borrower shall hold title to its assets in its own name and act solely in its
own name and through its own duly authorized members and agents. No
Affiliate shall be appointed or act as agent of Borrower, other than, as
applicable, a property manager with respect to the Facilities.
(iv) Investments
shall be made in the name of each Borrower directly by such Borrower or on its
behalf by brokers engaged and paid by such Borrower or its agents.
(v) Each
Borrower is and will be solvent.
32
(vi) Each
Borrower shall maintain its assets in such a manner that it is not costly or
difficult to segregate, ascertain or identify its individual assets from those
of any Affiliate or other person or entity.
(vii) Each
Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid its own liabilities and expenses of any
kind, including but not limited to salaries of its employees, if any, only out
of its own separate funds and assets or through Intra-Party Loans.
(viii) Each
Borrower shall at all times be adequately capitalized to engage in the
transactions contemplated at its formation; provided, however, that this
provision shall not require any direct or indirect member of Borrowers to make
additional capital contributions to any Borrower.
(ix) No
Borrower shall do any act which would make it impossible to carry on the
ordinary business of Borrower.
(x) None of
any Borrower’s funds shall be invested in securities issued by, nor shall any
Borrower acquire the indebtedness or obligation of, any Affiliate.
(xi) Each
Borrower shall correct any misunderstanding that is known by Borrower regarding
its name or separate identity.
(f) Any
indemnification obligation of Borrower in favor of its members or any other
Affiliate shall (i) be fully subordinated to the Loan and (ii) not constitute a
claim against Borrower or its assets until such time as the Loan has been
indefeasibly paid in accordance with its terms and otherwise has been fully
discharged.
10.22 Right of
First Refusal.
Borrowers
grant Lender a right of first refusal (“Lender’s
ROFR”) with respect to any refinancing of the Loan or any of the
Facilities which secure the Loan. Lender (which, as used in this
paragraph includes any Affiliate of Lender) shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to match the terms of any such financing offered to any Borrower(s)
by any reputable institutional real estate lender. If within 30 days
after Lender receives a copy of any such firm financing offer to any Borrower(s)
from a reputable institutional real estate lender, Lender offers such Borrower
financing on terms which, in the reasonable judgment of Borrowers and Lender,
are comparable in all material respects to the terms of any such offered
financing, such Borrower(s) may decline to accept the financing offered by
Lender only if Borrowers pay Lender a termination fee (the “Termination
Fee”) in an amount equal to $98,025.00 multiplied by the allocable
percentage of the Loan (based on the allocation in Section 4.3) applicable
to such Facility or Facilities. The Termination Fee shall be due and
payable when the Loan is due in full or is paid in full, or when Lender releases
such Facility(ies) from the lien of the Security Instruments, whichever is
earlier, and such fee shall be included in the indebtedness secured by the
Mortgages. If Lender does not, in writing, irrevocably offer such
Borrower(s) financing on terms which, in the reasonable judgment of Borrowers
and Lender, are comparable in all material respects to the terms of any such
offered financing, Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any Termination Fee
or any other fees to Lender in connection with the refinancing of the
Loan. Lender’s ROFR is personal to Lender and shall not be subject to
any assignment by Lender without Borrowers’ prior written
consent.

CASUALTIES
AND CONDEMNATION
11.1 Lender’s
Election to Apply Proceeds on Indebtedness.
(a) Subject
to the provisions of Section 11.1(b) below,
Lender may elect to collect, retain and apply upon the indebtedness of Borrowers
under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents all proceeds of
insurance or condemnation (individually and collectively referred to as “Proceeds”)
after deduction of all expenses of collection and settlement, including
attorneys’ and adjusters’ fees and charges. Any proceeds remaining
after repayment of the indebtedness under the Loan Documents shall be paid by
Lender to Borrower.
(b) Notwithstanding
anything in Section
11.1(a) to the
contrary, in the event of any casualty to a Facility or any condemnation of part
of a Facility, Lender agrees to make the Proceeds available to pay costs of
restoration of the Facility if (i) there is then no Default or Event of
Default, (ii) all Proceeds are deposited with Lender, (iii) in Lender’s
reasonable judgment, the amount of Proceeds available for restoration of the
Facilities (together with any sums or other security acceptable to Lender
deposited with Lender by Borrower for such purpose) is sufficient to pay the
full and complete costs of such restoration, (iv) if the cost of
restoration exceeds ten percent (10%) of the Loan Amount allocable to such
Facility determined based on Section 4.3 above, in
Lender’s sole determination after completion of restoration the Loan Amount
allocable to such Facility will not exceed 75% of the “stabilized” fair market
value of the Facility, (vi) in Lender’s reasonable determination, the
Facility can be restored to an architecturally and economically viable project
in compliance with applicable Laws, (vii) each Guarantor reaffirms its Guaranty
in writing, and (viii) in Lender’s reasonable determination, such
restoration is likely to be completed not later than three (3) months prior to
the Maturity Date.
11.2 Borrowers’
Obligation to Rebuild and Use of Proceeds Therefor.
In case
Lender does not elect to apply or does not have the right to apply the Proceeds
to the indebtedness of Borrowers under this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, as provided in Section 11.1 above,
Borrowers shall:
(a) Proceed
with diligence to make settlement with insurers or the appropriate governmental
authorities and cause the Proceeds to be deposited with Lender;

event of any delay in making settlement with insurers or the appropriate
governmental authorities or effecting collection of the Proceeds, deposit with
Lender the full amount required to complete construction as aforesaid;
and
(c) Promptly
proceed with construction of the Facility, including the repair of all damage
resulting from such fire, condemnation or other cause and restoration to its
former condition.
Lender
may condition the disbursement of Proceeds and other funds deposited with Lender
for the cost of restoration on Lender’s reasonable approval of the plans and
specifications for the restoration, contractor’s cost estimates, architect’s
certificates, waivers of liens, sworn statements of mechanics and materialmen,
and such other evidence of costs, percentage
34
completion
of construction, application of payments and satisfaction of liens as Lender may
reasonably require.

ASSIGNMENTS
BY LENDER AND BORROWER
12.1 Assignments
and Participations.
Lender
may from time to time sell the Loan and the Loan Documents (or any interest
therein) and may grant participations in the Loan to any entity or person
(herein, a “Lender
Transferee”). Borrowers agree to cooperate with Lender’s
efforts to do any of the foregoing and to execute all documents reasonably
required by Lender in connection therewith which do not materially adversely
affect Borrowers’ rights under the Loan Documents. If such Lender
Transferee (or its owner if the Lender Transferee is a disregarded entity for
United States federal income tax purposes) is a “foreign person” within the
meaning of Section 1445 or 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code, and if Borrower is
obligated to withhold United States withholding taxes from interest payments on
the Loan to such Lender Transferee, Borrower shall be entitled to deduct such
withholding taxes from each such interest payment provided that Borrower remits
such withholding taxes to the Internal Revenue Service in accordance with
applicable Law.
12.2 Prohibition
of Assignments and Transfers by Borrowers.
Borrowers
shall not assign or attempt to assign its rights under this Agreement and any
purported assignment shall be void. Without the prior written consent
of Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, Borrowers shall not suffer or permit any
Transfer other than a Permitted Transfer.
12.3 Prohibition
of Transfers in Violation of ERISA.
In
addition to the prohibitions set forth in Section 12.2 above, no
Borrower shall assign, sell, pledge, encumber, transfer, hypothecate or
otherwise dispose of its interest or rights in this Agreement or in any of the
Facilities, or attempt to do any of the foregoing or suffer any of the
foregoing, nor shall any party owning a direct or indirect interest in any
Borrower assign, sell, pledge, encumber, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise
dispose of any of its rights or interest (direct or indirect) in any Borrower,
attempt to do any of the foregoing or suffer any of the foregoing, if such
action would cause the Loan, or the exercise of any of Lender’s rights in
connection therewith, to constitute a prohibited transaction under ERISA or the
Internal Revenue Code or otherwise result in Lender being deemed in violation of
any applicable provision of ERISA. Borrowers agree to indemnify and
hold Lender free and harmless from and against all losses, reasonable
out-of-pocket costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), taxes,
damages and reasonable expenses Lender may suffer by reason of the
investigation, defense and settlement of claims and in obtaining any prohibited
transaction exemption under ERISA necessary or desirable in Lender’s sole
judgment or by reason of a breach of the foregoing prohibitions. The
foregoing indemnification shall be a recourse obligation of Borrowers and shall
survive repayment of the Note, notwithstanding any limitations on recourse
contained herein or in any of the Loan Documents.
35
12.4 Successors
and Assigns.
Subject
to the foregoing restrictions on transfer and assignment contained in this Article 12, this
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding on the parties
hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
ARTICLE
13.
DEFAULT
13.1 Events of
Default.
The

by Borrowers to pay the Loan in full by the Maturity Date.

(d) Failure
of Borrowers for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice from Lender,
to observe or perform any non-monetary covenant or condition contained in this
Agreement or any other Loan Documents; provided that if any such failure
concerning a non-monetary covenant or condition is susceptible to cure and
cannot reasonably be cured within said thirty (30) day period, then
Borrowers 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 Borrowers
commence such cure within the initial thirty (30) day period and diligently
and in good faith pursue such cure to completion within such resulting ninety
(90) day period from the date of Lender’s written notice; provided however that
if a different notice or grace period is specified under any other subsection of
this Section 13.1 with respect
to a particular breach, the specific provision shall control.
(e) Any
Transfer or other disposition in violation of Article
12.
(f) If any
material warranty, representation, statement, report or certificate made now or
hereafter by any Borrower or Guarantor is untrue or incorrect at the time made

cure of) said breach (i) within the notice and cure period provided in
Section 13.1(c) above for
a breach that can be cured by the payment of money or (ii) within the
notice and cure period provided in Section 13.1(d) above for

Borrower or Guarantor shall commence a voluntary case concerning any Borrower or
Guarantor under the Bankruptcy Code; or an involuntary proceeding is commenced
against any Borrower or Guarantor under Bankruptcy Code and relief is
ordered

(as defined in Bankruptcy Code) is appointed for or takes charge of all or
substantially all of the property of any Borrower or Guarantor; or any Borrower
or Guarantor commences any other proceedings under any reorganization,
arrangement, readjustment of debt, relief of debtors, dissolution, insolvency or
liquidation or similar Law of any jurisdiction whether now or hereafter in
effect relating to any Borrower or Guarantor; or there is commenced against any
Borrower or Guarantor any such proceeding which remains undismissed or unstayed
for a period of sixty (60) days; or any Borrower or Guarantor fails to
controvert in a timely manner any such case under Bankruptcy Code or any such
proceeding, or any order of relief or other order approving any such case or
proceeding is entered; or any Borrower or Guarantor by any act or failure to act
indicates its consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in any such case or
proceeding or the appointment of any custodian or the like of or for it for any
substantial part of its property or suffers any such appointment to continue
undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days.
(h) Any
Borrower or Guarantor shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or
shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become
due, or shall consent to the appointment of a receiver or trustee or liquidator
of all of its property or the major part thereof or if all or a substantial part
of the assets of any Borrower or Guarantor are attached, seized, subjected to a
writ or distress warrant, or are levied upon, or come into the possession of any
receiver, trustee, custodian or assignee for the benefit of
creditors.

more final judgments are entered (i) against any Borrower in amounts aggregating

thirty (30) days after entry.
(k) If any
Borrower or Guarantor shall fail to pay any debt (which term shall not include
judgments under clause (j) above) owed by it or is in default under any
agreement with Lender or any other party (other than a failure or default for
which such Borrower’s maximum liability does not exceed $100,000 and Guarantor’s
maximum liability does not exceed $250,000) and such failure or default
continues after any applicable grace period specified in the instrument or
agreement relating thereto.
(l) Failure
by Guarantor to comply with any of the Emeritus Covenants.
(m) If a
Material Adverse Change occurs with respect to any Borrower, any of
the Facilities or Guarantor.
(n) The
occurrence of any other event or circumstance denominated as an Event of Default
herein or under any of the other Loan Documents and the expiration of any
applicable grace or cure periods, if any, specified for such Event of Default

37
(o) Any
default by any Borrower or by the Master Tenant under any Master Lease which is
not cured within any applicable cure period thereunder.
13.2 Remedies

occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may pursue any one or more of the
following remedies concurrently or successively, it being the intent hereof that
none of such remedies shall be to the exclusion of any other:

or pursue any other remedy or cause of action permitted under this Agreement or
any other Loan Documents, or conferred upon Lender by operation of

the foregoing, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 13.1(g), all
amounts evidenced by the Note shall automatically become due and payable,
without any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind to
Borrowers.

GENERAL
PROVISIONS

payment or performance shall be due on the Business Day immediately following
such date.
14.2 Captions.
The
captions and headings of various Articles, Sections and subsections of this
Agreement and Exhibits pertaining hereto are for convenience only and are not to
be considered as defining or limiting in any way the scope or intent of the
provisions hereof.

Waiver.
No
modification, waiver, amendment or discharge of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document shall be valid unless the same is in writing and signed by the party
against which the enforcement of such modification, waiver, amendment or
discharge is sought.
38
14.4 Governing
Law.
Borrowers
and Lender agree that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be
construed, enforced and otherwise governed by the laws of the State of
Washington without regard to its conflict of laws rules, except that the
validity and enforcement of each Security Instrument shall be governed by the
laws of the State in which the applicable Facility is located.
14.5 Disclaimer.
This
Agreement is made for the sole benefit of Borrowers and Lender and no other
person or persons shall have any benefits, rights or remedies under or by reason
of this Agreement, or by reason of any actions taken by Lender pursuant to this
Agreement. Lender shall not be liable for any debts or claims
accruing in favor of any such parties against Borrowers or others or against the
Facilities. By making the Loan or taking any action pursuant to any
of the Loan Documents, Lender shall not be deemed a partner or a joint venturer
with any Borrower or a fiduciary of any Borrower.
14.6 Partial
Invalidity; Severability.
If any of
the provisions of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person,
party or circumstances, shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the
remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such provision or provisions
to persons, parties or circumstances other than those as to whom or which it is
held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and every
provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent
permitted by law.
14.7 Definitions
Include Amendments.
Definitions
contained in this Agreement which identify documents, including, but not limited
to, the Loan Documents, shall be deemed to include all amendments and
supplements to such documents from the date hereof, and all future amendments
and supplements thereto entered into from time to time to satisfy the
requirements of this Agreement or otherwise with the consent of
Lender. Reference to this Agreement contained in any of the foregoing
documents shall be deemed to include all amendments and supplements to this
Agreement.
14.8 Execution

Agreement.
This
Agreement, taken together with all of the other Loan Documents and all
certificates and other documents delivered by Borrower to Lender, embody the
entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements, written or oral, relating
to the subject matter hereof.
39
14.10 Waiver of
Damages.
In no
event shall Lender be liable to any Borrower for punitive, exemplary or

the Loan Documents, and Borrowers waive all claims for punitive, exemplary or
consequential damages.
14.11 Claims
Against Lender.
Lender
shall not be in default under this Agreement, or under any other Loan Documents,
unless a written notice specifically setting forth the claim of Borrower shall
have been given to Lender within three (3) months after Borrowers first had
knowledge of the occurrence of the event which Borrowers allege gave rise to
such claim and Lender does not remedy or cure the default, if any there be,
promptly thereafter. Borrowers waive any claim, set-off or defense
against Lender arising by reason of any alleged default by Lender as to which
Borrowers do not give such notice timely as aforesaid. Borrowers
acknowledge that such waiver is or may be essential to Lender’s ability to
enforce its remedies without delay and that such waiver therefore constitutes a
substantial part of the bargain between Lender and Borrowers with regard to the
Loan.
14.12 Jurisdiction.
TO THE
GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BORROWERS HEREBY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO
REQUIRE MARSHALING OF ASSETS BY LENDER. WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUIT,

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 AGREEMENT SHALL
PRECLUDE LENDER 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. BORROWER FURTHER
AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT, IN ADDITION TO ANY METHODS OF SERVICE OF PROCESS
PROVIDED FOR UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ALL SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY PROCEEDING IN
ANY WASHINGTON STATE OR UNITED STATES COURT SITTING IN THE STATE OF WASHINGTON
MAY BE MADE BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, DIRECTED
