3.1 Agreement to Borrow and Lend. Borrower agrees to borrow from Lender, and Lender agrees to lend to Borrower, an amount equal to the principal amount of the Loan on the terms of and subject to the conditions of this Agreement. Any amounts borrowed under the Loan and repaid may not be re-borrowed.
25
3.2 Interest. Interest on funds advanced under the Loan shall:
(a) from the Closing Date until the Maturity Date, accrue at the Loan Rate; provided, however, if Lender determines:
(i) that maintenance of the Loan accruing interest based on the interest rate applicable to dollar deposits in the London Interbank market (the “LIBOR Rate”) would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation or directive of any government or any division, agency, body or department thereof, whether or not having the force of law,
(ii) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank LIBOR market adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable LIBOR Rate, or
(iii) the LIBOR Rate as determined by Lender will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of maintaining or funding the Loan at the Loan Rate accruing interest based on the LIBOR Rate has become impracticable as a result of an event occurring after the date of this Agreement which in the opinion of Lender materially affects the Loan,
then Lender shall promptly notify Borrower, and Lender shall suspend the availability of such rate option and require the Loan to be converted to an interest rate that accurately reflects the amount of interest charged under the Note;
(b) be computed upon advances of the Loan from and including the date of such advance by Lender to or for the account of Borrower (whether to an escrow or otherwise), on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360)‑day year and the actual number of days elapsed in any portion of a month in which interest is due; and
(c) be paid by Borrower to Lender in the manner set forth in the Note.

If, after the date hereof, the adoption of, or any change in, any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration of any applicable law, rule or regulation by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency: (i) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including any reserve imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor thereto), but excluding any reserve included in the determination of the Loan Rate), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by Lender; or (ii) shall impose on Lender any other condition affecting the Loans, the Note, or Lender’s obligation to make loans which bear interest at a rate determined by reference to interest rates applicable to dollar deposits in the London Interbank market (“LIBOR Loans”), and the result of anything described in clauses (i) and (ii) above is to increase the cost to
26
(or to impose a cost on) Lender of making or maintaining any LIBOR Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Lender under this Agreement or under the Note with respect thereto, then upon demand by Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail), Borrower shall pay directly to Lender such additional amount as will compensate Lender for such increased cost or such reduction.

(b) If Borrower makes any payment hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of which it is required by applicable law to deduct or withhold any Taxes, Borrower shall increase the payment hereunder or under any other Loan Document such that after the reduction for the amount of Taxes withheld (and any taxes withheld or imposed with respect to the additional payments required under this Section 3.8(b)), the amount paid to Lender equals the amount that was payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document without regard to this Section 3.8(b). To the extent Borrower withholds any Taxes on payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document, Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority within the time allowed for payment under applicable law and shall deliver to Lender within 30 days after it has made payment to such authority a receipt issued by such authority (or other evidence satisfactory to Lender) evidencing the payment of all amounts so required to be deducted or withheld from such payment.
(c) If Lender is required by law to make any payments of any Taxes on or in relation to any amounts received or receivable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or any Tax is assessed against Lender with respect to amounts received or receivable
27
hereunder or under any other Loan Document, Borrower will indemnify Lender against (i) such Tax (and any reasonable counsel fees and expenses associated with such Tax) and (ii) any taxes imposed as a result of the receipt of the payment under this Section 3.8(c). A certificate prepared in good faith as to the amount of such payment by Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive, and binding on all parties.
3.9 Right of Lender to Fund through Other Offices. Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its commitment as to any Loan which bears interest at a rate determined by reference to interest rates applicable to dollar deposits in the London Interbank market by causing a foreign branch or Affiliate of Lender to make the Loan, provided that in such event for the purposes of this Agreement the Loan shall be deemed to have been made by Lender and the obligation of Borrower to repay the Loan shall nevertheless be to Lender and shall be deemed held by it, to the extent of the Loan, for the account of such branch or Affiliate.
3.10 Discretion of Lender as to Manner of Funding. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Loans in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement, all determinations hereunder shall be made as if Lender had actually funded and maintained each Loan which bears interest at a rate determined by reference to interest rates applicable to dollar deposits in the London Interbank market through the purchase of deposits bearing an interest rate equal to the “One Month Libor Rate” (as defined in the Note).
3.11 Limitation on Charges. It being the intent of the parties that the rate of interest and all other charges to Borrower be lawful, if for any reason the payment of a portion of the interest or other charges otherwise required to be paid under this Agreement would exceed the limit which Lender may lawfully charge Borrower, then the obligation to pay interest or other charges shall automatically be reduced to such limit and, if any amounts in excess of such limit shall have been paid, then such amounts shall at the sole option of Lender either be refunded to Borrower or credited to the principal amount of the Borrower’s Liabilities (or any combination of the foregoing) so that under no circumstances shall the interest or other charges required to be paid by Borrower hereunder exceed the maximum rate allowed by applicable law, and Borrower shall not have any action against Lender for any damages arising out of the payment or collection of any such excess interest.

There are no Liens on the Collateral other than the Liens of Lender pursuant hereto, and any Permitted Exceptions.
8.5 Leases. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the security interest created hereby is specifically intended to cover all Leases between Borrower or its agents as lessor, and various tenants named therein, as lessee, including all extended terms and all extensions and renewals of the terms thereof, as well as any amendments to or replacement of said Leases, together with all of the right, title and interest of Borrower, as lessor thereunder.

Lender’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession shall be to deal with it in the same manner as Lender deals with similar property for its own account. Neither Lender nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for any failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of Borrower or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on Lender hereunder are solely to protect Lender’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Lender to exercise any such powers. Lender 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 Borrower for any act (except to the extent
43
any such acts constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Lender) or failure to act hereunder.
8.17 Releases.
(a) At such time as the Borrower’s Liabilities have been paid and performed in full, the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created hereby, and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of Lender and Borrower hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Borrower. At the request and sole expense of Borrower following any such termination, Lender shall deliver to Borrower any Collateral held by Lender hereunder, and execute and deliver to Borrower such documents as Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
(b) If any of the Collateral shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by Borrower in a transaction permitted by this Agreement, then Lender, at the request and sole expense of Borrower, shall execute and deliver to Borrower all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable for the release of the Liens created hereby on such Collateral.

Neither Borrower nor Operator will enter into or be a party to any contract for the purchase of materials, supplies or other property or services if such contract requires that payment be made by it regardless of whether delivery is ever made of such materials, supplies or other property or services.
11.27 Inconsistent Agreements. Neither Borrower nor Operator will enter into any agreement containing any provision which would (a) be violated or breached by any borrowing by Borrower hereunder or by the performance by Borrower or Operator of any of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (b) prohibit Borrower from granting to Lender a Lien on any of its assets.
11.28 Business Activities; Issuance of Equity. Neither Borrower nor Operator will engage in any line of business other than the businesses engaged in on the date hereof and businesses reasonably related thereto. Neither Borrower nor Operator will issue any ownership interests or other shares in its capital other than any such issuance pursuant to any employee or director option program, benefit plan or compensation program.
11.29 Investments. Borrower will not make or permit to exist any Investment in any other Person, except the following:
(a) Cash Equivalent Investments; and
(b) bank deposits in the ordinary course of business.
11.30 Restriction of Amendments to Certain Documents. Borrower may not make any amendments to, or waiver of, any agreements to which Borrower is a party which amendments or waivers would have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s ability to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents.
11.31 Mergers, Consolidations, Sales. Borrower will not, and not permit any other Credit Party to, (a) be a party to any merger or consolidation, (b) sell, transfer, dispose of, convey or lease any of its Capital Securities, or (c) sell or assign with or without recourse any receivables.
11.32 Fiscal Year. Borrower will not change its fiscal year without thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender.
53
11.33 Restrictions on Transfer.
(a)Borrower shall not, and shall cause Operator to not, without the prior written consent of Lender, effect, suffer or permit any Prohibited Transfer (as defined herein). Any conveyance, sale, assignment, transfer, lien, pledge, mortgage, security interest or other encumbrance or alienation (or any agreement to do any of the foregoing) of any of the following properties or interests shall constitute a “Prohibited Transfer”:
(i)The Property and the other Collateral or any part thereof or interest therein, excepting only sales or other dispositions of Collateral (herein called “Obsolete Collateral”) no longer useful in connection with the operation of the Property or other dispositions in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business, provided that concurrently with the sale or other disposition thereof, such Obsolete Collateral has been replaced with Collateral of at least equal value and utility which is subject to the lien hereof with the same priority as with respect to the Obsolete Collateral;
(ii)any membership interests of Borrower or Operator; or
(iii)If there shall be any change of control (by way of transfers of stock, partnership or member interests or otherwise) in any partner, member, manager or shareholder, as applicable, the effect of which shall alter the voting control of Borrower or Operator; provided that this shall not apply to a change in the ownership of AdCare Health Systems, Inc.;
in each case whether any such conveyance, sale, assignment, transfer, lien, pledge, mortgage, security interest, encumbrance or alienation is effected directly, indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall not apply (i) to liens securing the indebtedness hereunder or any other existing indebtedness by Borrower to Lender, (ii) to the lien of current taxes and assessments not in default or being contested in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage, (iii) to any transfers of the shares of stock or membership, partnership or joint venture interests, as the case may be, by or on behalf of an owner thereof who is deceased or declared judicially incompetent, to such owner’s heirs, legatees, devisees, executors, administrators, estate or personal representatives, or (iv) to Leases permitted by the terms of the Loan Documents, if any.
(a)In determining whether or not to make the Loan, Lender evaluated the background and experience of Borrower and its partners/members/officers in owning and operating property such as the Property, found it acceptable and relied and continues to rely upon same as the means of maintaining the value of the Property and the other Collateral which is Lender’s security for the Note. Borrower and its partners/members/officers are well-experienced in borrowing money and owning and operating property such as the Property, were ably represented by a licensed attorney at law in the negotiation and documentation of the Loan and bargained at arm’s-length and without duress of any kind for all of the terms and conditions of the Loan, including this provision. Borrower further
54
recognizes that any secondary junior financing placed upon the Property or other Collateral (a) may divert funds which would otherwise be used to pay the Note; (b) could result in acceleration and foreclosure by any such junior encumbrance which would force Lender to take measures and incur expenses to protect its security; (c) would detract from the value of the Property and other Collateral should Lender come into possession thereof with the intention of selling same; and (d) would impair Lender’s right to accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure, as a foreclosure by Lender would be necessary to clear the title to the Real Property. In accordance with the foregoing and for the purposes of (i) protecting Lender’s security, both of repayment and of value of the Property and other Collateral; (ii) giving Lender the full benefit of its bargain and contract with Borrower; and (iii) keeping the Property and other Collateral free of subordinate financing liens, Borrower agrees that if this paragraph is deemed a restraint on alienation, that it is a reasonable one.
11.34 Replacement Reserve Account. Borrower shall establish with Lender a reserve account (the “Replacement Reserve Account”) for the purpose of capital improvement projects at the Facility. Each month, Borrower shall deposit with Lender into the Replacement Reserve Account an amount equal to 1/12th of the amount equal to $400.00 per bed per year. Borrower shall have the right to expend the funds in the Replacement Reserve Account, provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and provided that prior to disbursing any funds from the Replacement Reserve Account, Borrower shall have provided to Lender receipts or invoices evidencing such expenditures.
11.35 Interest Rate Protection.
(a) Any and all obligations, contingent or otherwise, whether now existing or thereafter arising, of Borrower arising under or in connection with all Rate Management Transactions shall be secured by all of the Collateral for the Loan.
(b) As additional security for the payment and performance of all of the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby pledges and assigns to Lender, and grants to Lender a first lien on and a first priority security interest in, (i) all Rate Management Transactions from time to time entered into by Borrower with Lender or any other provider, (ii) all contracts from time to time entered into by Borrower with Lender or any other provider with respect to such Rate Management Transactions, (iii) all amounts from time to time payable to Borrower under such Rate Management Transactions and contracts and (iv) all proceeds of the foregoing.
11.36 Release of Mortgage Lien on Excess Land. Lender acknowledges that Borrower has undertaken the process of subdividing the Property into two parcels in a manner as more particularly described and shown on Exhibit C attached hereto and contained within the legal description of the Land set forth in the Mortgage and Assignment of Rents granted by Borrower in favor of Lender on the Closing Date (the “Excess Land”). Lender will cause the Mortgage lien solely with respect to the Excess Land to be released in connection with the subdivision of Property (“Excess Land Release”); provided, however, that (i) all other liens granted to Lender pursuant to
55
the Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect (excluding the Excess Land Release) and (ii) each of the following conditions precedent is satisfied:
(a) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender an irrevocable written request for the Excess Land Release;
(b) No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the date of the notice set forth in clause (a) or as of the effective date of such Excess Land Release;
(c) after giving effect to such Excess Land Release, the Facility and all Credit Parties will be in compliance with all covenants set forth in this Agreement;
(d) Borrower shall have paid all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the Excess Land Release pursuant to this Section 11.36; and
(e) at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, Borrower shall provide title endorsements (including, without limitation, date down, tax, and zoning) to Lender’s title insurance policy insuring the remaining Mortgage lien granted pursuant to the Loan Documents on the Facility after taking into effect the Excess Land Release, as requested by Lender in form and substance acceptable to Lender and provide Lender with an updated ALTA survey, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender.
11.37 Maintenance of Perfected Security Interest; Further Documentation.
(a) Lender shall maintain the security interest created by this Agreement as a perfected security interest and Borrower shall defend such security interest against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.
(b) Borrower will furnish to Lender from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the assets and property of Borrower maintained in its ordinary course of business and such other reports in connection therewith as Lender may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.
(c) Borrower shall not, except upon 30 days’ prior written notice to Lender and delivery to Lender of (a) all additional financing statements and other documents reasonably requested by Lender as to the validity, perfection and priority of the security interests provided for herein and (b) if applicable, a written supplement to Schedule 2.1(ff) showing any additional location at which Inventory or equipment shall be kept:
(i) permit any of the Inventory or equipment to be kept at a location other than those listed on Schedule 2.1(ff);
(ii) change its jurisdiction of organization or the location of its chief executive office from that specified on Schedule 2.1(ff) or in any subsequent notice delivered pursuant to this Section 11.37; or
56
(iii) change its name or corporate structure from a limited liability company to some other corporate entity form.
11.38 Other Matters. Borrower authorizes Lender to, at any time and from time to time, file financing statements, continuation statements, and amendments thereto that describe the Collateral, and which contain any other information required pursuant to the UCC for the sufficiency of filing office acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement, or amendment, and Borrower agrees to furnish any such information to Lender promptly upon request. Any such financing statement, continuation statement, or amendment may be signed by Lender on behalf of Borrower and may be filed at any time in any jurisdiction.
11.39 Costs; Attorneys’ Fees.
(a) Borrower will pay Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs in connection with the negotiation, preparation, administration and enforcement (including perfection and protection of the Collateral and the costs of Intralinks (or other similar service), if applicable) of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated, and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred by Lender after an Event of Default in connection with the collection of the Borrower’s Liabilities or the enforcement of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect thereof. In addition, Borrower agrees to pay, and to save Lender harmless from all liability for, any fees of Borrower’s auditors in connection with any reasonable exercise by Lender of its rights pursuant to, and to the extent provided for in, Section 8.3. All obligations provided for in this Section 11.39 shall survive repayment of the Loan, cancellation of the Notes and termination of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if at any time or times hereafter Lender employs counsel for advice or other representation with respect to any matter concerning Borrower, this Agreement, the Property or the Loan Documents, or to protect, collect, lease, sell, take possession of, or liquidate any of the Property, or to attempt to enforce or protect any security interest or lien or other right in any of the Property or under any of the Loan Documents, or to enforce any rights of Lender or obligations of Borrower or any other person, firm or corporation which may be obligated to Lender by virtue of this Agreement or under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreement, instrument or document, heretofore or hereafter delivered to Lender in furtherance hereof, then in any such event, all of the reasonable attorneys’ fees arising from such services, and any reasonable expenses, costs and charges relating thereto, shall constitute additional indebtedness owing by Borrower to Lender payable on demand and evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents.
(b) Borrower agrees to pay, and to save Lender harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
57
(c) The agreements in this Section 11.39 shall survive repayment of all (and shall be) Borrower’s Liabilities (and termination of all commitments under this Agreement), any foreclosure under, or any modification, release or discharge of, any or all of the Loan Documents and termination of this Agreement.
11.40 Reinstatement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective (i) if, prior to the Borrower’s Liabilities having been paid and performed in full, any petition is filed by or against Borrower for liquidation or reorganization, (ii) should Borrower become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or (iii) should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of Borrower’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Borrower’s Liabilities, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Borrower’s Liabilities, whether as a “voidable preference”, “fraudulent conveyance”, or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Borrower’s Liabilities shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
11.41 Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Lender, and at the sole expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly and duly execute and deliver, and have recorded, such further instruments and documents and take such further actions as Lender may reasonably request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including (i) filing any financing or continuation statements under the UCC (or other similar laws) in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the security interests created hereby and (ii) in the case of any other relevant Collateral, taking any actions necessary to enable Lender to obtain “control” (within the meaning of the applicable UCC) with respect thereto.
11.42 Obligations and Liens Absolute and Unconditional. The obligations of each Credit Party under this Agreement shall be construed as continuing, absolute and unconditional without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any other collateral security therefor or guaranty or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by Lender, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Credit Party or any other Person against Lender, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Credit Party) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any Credit Party for the Borrower’s Liabilities, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Credit Party, Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any other Credit Party or any other Person or against any collateral security or guaranty for the Borrower’s Liabilities or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by Lender to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any other Credit Party or any
58
other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guaranty or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any other Credit Party or any other Person or any such collateral security, guaranty or right of offset, shall not relieve any Credit Party of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of Lender against any Credit Party. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

The proceeds of any insurance policies collected or claims as a result of any loss or damage to any portion of the Property resulting from fire, vandalism, malicious mischief or any other casualty or physical harm and any awards, judgments or claims resulting from the exercise of the power of condemnation or eminent domain shall be applied to reduce the outstanding balances of the Loan or to rebuild and restore the Property, as provided in the Mortgage. Borrower shall not settle and adjust any claims under policies of insurance without Lender’s prior written consent, except as provided in the Mortgage.
ARTICLE 13
ASSIGNMENTS, PARTICIPATIONS, SALE AND ENCUMBRANCES
13.1 Lender’s Right to Assign. Lender may at any time assign, negotiate, pledge or otherwise hypothecate this Agreement or any of its rights and security hereunder, including the Note, Mortgage, and other Loan Documents to any bank, participant, financial institution, or any other person or entity, and in case of such assignment, Borrower will accord full recognition thereto and agree that all rights and remedies of Lender in connection with the interest so assigned shall be enforceable against Borrower by such bank, participant, financial institution or any other person or entity with the same force and effect and to the same extent as the same would have been enforceable by Lender but for such assignment. From and after the date of such assignment, Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such assignment, shall be released from its rights (other than its indemnification rights) and obligations hereunder.
13.2 Lender’s Assignment of Security Interests. Lender may at any time, without prior or subsequent notice to Borrower, pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for Lender as a party hereto.
59
13.3 Participations. Lender may at any time, without prior or subsequent notice to Borrower, sell to one or more Persons participating interests in the Loan or other interests hereunder (any such Person, a “Participant”).

Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and payable (as a result of acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement; provided that such right of set-off shall be subject to the obligation of each Participant to share with Lender, and Lender agrees to share with each Participant, on a pro rata basis. Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.3 or Section 3.8 as if it were Lender (provided that on the date of the participation no Participant shall be entitled to any greater compensation pursuant to Section 3.3 or Section 3.8 than would have been paid to Lender on such date if no participation had been sold and that each Participant complies with Section 3.3 or Section 3.8 as if it were a direct assignee).
13.4 Prohibition of Assignments and Encumbrances by Borrower. Neither Borrower nor any other Credit Party may assign its rights, title, interests or obligations under this Agreement or under any of the Loan Documents. Except as expressly provided in the Mortgage, Borrower, without the prior written consent of Lender, shall not create, effect, consent to, attempt, contract for, agree to make, suffer or permit any Prohibited Transfer.
13.5 Lender’s Assignment to Federal Reserve Banks. In addition to the assignments and participation permitted under the foregoing provisions of this Section 13, Lender may assign and pledge all or any portion of the Loan and the Note to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank, and such Loans and Notes shall be fully transferrable as provided therein. No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.

ARTICLE 15
LENDER’S REMEDIES UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT
15.1 Remedies Conferred upon Lender. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender, in addition to all remedies conferred upon Lender under the UCC or any other applicable law and by the terms of this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, 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 others:
(a) Take possession of the Property and do anything required, necessary or advisable in Lender’s sole judgment to fulfill the obligations of Borrower hereunder. Without restricting the generality of the foregoing and for the purposes aforesaid, Borrower hereby appoints and constitutes Lender as Borrower’s lawful attorney‑in‑fact with full power of substitution, such appointment being irrevocable and coupled with an interest, in the premises to perform the following actions:
(i) without inquiring into and without respect to the validity thereof, to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which may be liens, or to avoid such bills and claims becoming liens, against the Property or any portion of the Property or as may be necessary or desirable for the clearance of title to the Property;
(ii) to prosecute and defend actions or proceedings in connection with the Property;
64
(iii) to do any and every act which Borrower might do in its own behalf with respect to the Property, it being understood and agreed that this power of attorney shall be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked;
(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice referred to below) to or upon Borrower or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances, to the extent permitted by law, forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give 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 Lender or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable, for cash or on credit or for future delivery with assumption of any credit risk. Lender 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 of the Collateral, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in Borrower, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Borrower further agrees, at Lender’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at places which Lender shall reasonably select, whether at Borrower’s premises or elsewhere. Any such sale may be held in conjunction with any foreclosure sale of the Property pursuant to the Mortgage. If Lender so elects, the sale of the Real Property (pursuant to the Mortgage) and the other Collateral may be sold as one lot. Lender shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it in accordance with this Agreement, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of Lender hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ costs, to the payment in whole or in part of the Borrower’s Liabilities, in such order as Lender may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by Lender of any other amount required by any provision of law need Lender account for the surplus, if any, to Borrower. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Credit Party waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against Lender arising out of the exercise by them 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 10 days before such sale or other disposition.
(c) Withhold further disbursement of the proceeds of the Loan and terminate any of its obligations to Borrower;
(d) Declare the Note to be due and payable forthwith, including all of Borrower’s Liabilities, which includes all outstanding including fees, costs, expenses, reasonable attorneys’ fees of Lender, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived;
(e) In addition to any rights of set-off that Lender may have under applicable law, Lender, without notice of any kind to Borrower, may appropriate and apply to the payment of the Note or of any sums due under this Agreement any and all balances, deposits,
65
credits, accounts, certificates of deposit, instruments or money of Borrower then or thereafter in the possession of Lender; and
(f) Exercise or pursue any other remedy or cause of action permitted at law or in equity or under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including, but not limited to, foreclosure of the Mortgage and enforcement of all Loan Documents.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against Lender arising out of the exercise by it of any rights hereunder.
15.2 Right of Lender to Make Advances to Cure Event of Default; Obligatory Advances. If Borrower shall fail to perform any of its covenants or agreements contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may (but shall not be required to) perform any of such covenants and agreements, and any amounts expended by Lender in so doing, and any amounts expended by Lender pursuant to Section 11.2 or Section 15.1 hereof and any amounts advanced by Lender pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed advanced by Lender under an obligation to do so regardless of the identity of the person or persons to whom said funds are disbursed. Amounts advanced by Lender in the exercise of its judgment that the same are needed to protect its security for the Loan are obligatory advances hereunder and shall constitute additional indebtedness payable on demand and evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents.
15.3 No Waiver. The Lender’s failure, at any time or times hereafter, to require strict performance by the Borrower of any provision of this Agreement shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of the Lender thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith. Any suspension or waiver by the Lender of an Event of Default under this Agreement or a default under any of the other Loan Documents shall not suspend, waive or affect any other Event of Default under this Agreement or any other default under any of the other Loan Documents, whether the same is prior or subsequent thereto and whether of the same or of a different kind or character. The granting of any waiver, indulgence or compromise by Lender shall not impair any remedy, right or power hereunder or be construed as a waiver thereof unless provided otherwise in writing and any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. None of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of the Borrower contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and no Event of Default under this Agreement or default under any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by the Lender unless such suspension or waiver is in writing signed by an officer of the Lender, and delivered to the Borrower specifying such suspension or waiver.
15.4 Default Rate. From and after the date of any Event of Default until the date on which such Event of Default is waived, interest on funds outstanding hereunder shall accrue at the Default Rate and be payable on demand. The failure of Lender to charge interest at the Default Rate shall not be evidence of the absence of an Event of Default or waiver of an Event of Default by Lender.

ARTICLE 16
MISCELLANEOUS
16.1 Time is of the Essence. Borrower agrees that time is of the essence with respect to all of its covenants under this Agreement.
16.2 Lender’s Determination of Facts. Lender at all times shall be free to establish independently to its satisfaction and in its sole and absolute discretion the existence or nonexistence of any fact or facts, the existence or nonexistence of which is a condition of this Agreement.
16.3 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any other documents or instruments executed pursuant thereto or contemplated thereby, shall represent the entire, integrated agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the Loan and shall supersede all prior negotiations, representations or agreements pertaining thereto, either oral or written. This Agreement and any provision hereof shall not be modified, amended, waived or discharged in any manner other than by a written amendment executed by all parties to this Agreement.
16.4 Disclaimer by Lender. The relationship between Borrower on the one hand and Lender on the other hand shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Lender has no fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Credit Party arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Credit Parties, on the one hand, and Lender, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor. Lender undertakes no responsibility to any Credit Party to review or inform any Credit Party of any matter in connection with any phase of any Credit Party’s business or operations. Each Credit Party agrees that Lender shall have no liability to any Credit Party (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses suffered by any Credit Party in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the transactions contemplated and the relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless it is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such losses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party from which recovery is sought. NEITHER LENDER NOR ANY OF THE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES OR AGENTS OF LENDER (EACH OF THE FOREGOING, A “LENDER PARTY”) SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE USE BY OTHERS OF ANY INFORMATION OR OTHER MATERIALS OBTAINED THROUGH INTRALINKS OR OTHER SIMILAR INFORMATION TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, NOR SHALL ANY LENDER PARTY HAVE ANY LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO, AND BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES, RELEASES AND AGREES NOT TO XXX FOR, ANY SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ARISING OUT OF ITS ACTIVITIES IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH (WHETHER BEFORE OR AFTER THE CLOSING DATE). Borrower acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party. Lender shall not be liable for any debts or claims accruing in favor of any parties against any Credit
67
Party or against the Property. Each Credit Party is not, and shall not be, an agent of Lender for any purposes, and Lender is not a venture partner with any Credit Party in any manner whatsoever. Approvals granted by Lender for any matters covered under this Agreement shall be narrowly construed to cover only the parties and facts identified in any written approval.
16.5 INDEMNIFICATION BY BORROWER. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN CONSIDERATION OF THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT BY LENDER AND THE AGREEMENT TO EXTEND THE LOAN PROVIDED FOR HEREUNDER, BORROWER HEREBY AGREES TO INDEMNIFY LENDER AND LENDER PARTIES AND HOLD THEM FREE AND HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL ACTIONS, CAUSES OF ACTION, SUITS, LOSSES, LIABILITIES, DAMAGES AND EXPENSES, INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEY COSTS (COLLECTIVELY, THE “INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES”), INCURRED BY LENDER PARTIES OR ANY OF THEM AS A RESULT OF, OR ARISING OUT OF, OR RELATING TO (A) ANY PURCHASE OF ASSETS TO BE FINANCED IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, WITH THE PROCEEDS OF THE LOAN, (B) THE USE, HANDLING, RELEASE, EMISSION, DISCHARGE, TRANSPORTATION, STORAGE, TREATMENT OR DISPOSAL OF ANY HAZARDOUS MATERIALS AT ANY PROPERTY OWNED OR LEASED BY ANY CREDIT PARTY, (C) ANY VIOLATION OF ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS WITH RESPECT TO CONDITIONS AT ANY PROPERTY OWNED OR LEASED BY ANY CREDIT PARTY OR THE OPERATIONS CONDUCTED THEREON, (D) THE INVESTIGATION, CLEANUP OR REMEDIATION OF OFFSITE LOCATIONS AT WHICH ANY CREDIT PARTY OR THEIR RESPECTIVE PREDECESSORS ARE ALLEGED TO HAVE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY DISPOSED OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS OR (E) THE EXECUTION, DELIVERY, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT BY ANY OF LENDER PARTIES, EXCEPT FOR ANY SUCH INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES ARISING ON ACCOUNT OF THE APPLICABLE LENDER PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS DETERMINED BY A FINAL, NONAPPEALABLE JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION. THIS INDEMNITY IS NOT INTENDED TO EXCUSE LENDER FROM PERFORMING HEREUNDER. THIS OBLIGATION ON THE PART OF BORROWER SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING OF THE LOAN, THE REPAYMENT THEREOF AND ANY CANCELLATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. BORROWER SHALL PAY, AND HOLD LENDER HARMLESS FROM, ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OF ANY BROKERS, FINDERS OR AGENTS CLAIMING A RIGHT TO ANY FEES IN CONNECTION WITH ARRANGING THE FINANCING CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. LENDER HEREBY REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS NOT EMPLOYED A BROKER OR OTHER FINDER IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOAN. BORROWER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT NO BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS OR FINDER’S FEES ARE TO BE PAID IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOAN. IF AND TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY OF THE FOREGOING UNDERTAKING MAY BE UNENFORCEABLE FOR ANY REASON, BORROWER HEREBY AGREES TO MAKE THE MAXIMUM CONTRIBUTION TO THE PAYMENT AND SATISFACTION OF EACH OF THE INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES WHICH IS PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. ALL OBLIGATIONS
68

In the event of any inconsistency among the terms hereof (including incorporated terms), or between such terms and the terms of any other Loan Document, Lender may elect which terms shall govern and prevail. If any provision of this Agreement, or any paragraph, sentence, clause, phrase or word, or the application thereof, in any circumstances, is adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the validity of the remainder of this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid part were never included herein.

16.10 Effect of Agreement. The submission of this Agreement and the Loan Documents to Borrower for examination does not constitute a commitment or an offer by Lender to make a commitment to lend money to Borrower. This Agreement shall become effective only upon execution and delivery hereof by Lender to Borrower.
16.11 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state of Maryland, without reference to the choice of law or conflicts of law principles of the state of Maryland.
70
16.12 Confirmations. Borrower and each holder of the Note agree from time to time, upon written request received by it from the other, to confirm to the other in writing the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loan then outstanding under such Note.
16.13 Computations. Where the character or amount of any asset or liability or item of income or expense is required to be determined, or any consolidation or other accounting computation is required to be made, for the purpose of this Agreement, such determination or calculation shall, to the extent applicable and except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, be made in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied; provided that if Borrower notifies Lender that Borrower wishes to amend any covenant in Section 11.18 (or any related definition) to eliminate or to take into account the effect of any change in GAAP on the operation of such covenant (or if Lender notifies Borrower that Lender wishes to amend Section 11.18 (or any related definition) for such purpose), then Borrower’s compliance with such covenant shall be determined on the basis of GAAP in effect immediately before the relevant change in GAAP became effective, until either such notice is withdrawn or such covenant (or related definition) is amended in a manner satisfactory to Borrower and Lender.
16.14 Consent to Jurisdiction. TO INDUCE LENDER TO ACCEPT THE NOTE, BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, SHALL BE BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF MARYLAND OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR MARYLAND; PROVIDED THAT NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE LENDER FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF MARYLAND OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR MARYLAND FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION AS SET FORTH ABOVE. BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.
16.15 Waiver of Jury Trial. BORROWER AND LENDER, BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, HAVING BEEN REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL, EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS (a) UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY RELATED AGREEMENT OR UNDER ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR (b) ARISING FROM ANY BANKING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WILL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY. BORROWER AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT ASSERT ANY CLAIM AGAINST LENDER
71
OR ANY OTHER PERSON INDEMNIFIED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.
16.16 Subsequent Amendments. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, (i) references to agreements (including this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) and other contractual instruments shall be deemed to include all subsequent amendments, restatements, supplements and other modifications thereto, but only to the extent such amendments, restatements, supplements and other modifications are not prohibited by the terms of any Loan Document, and (ii) references to any statute or regulation shall be construed as including all statutory and regulatory provisions amending, replacing, supplementing or interpreting such statute or regulation.
16.17 Reviewed by Counsel. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are the result of negotiations among and have been reviewed by counsel to Lender, Borrower and the other parties thereto and are the products of all parties. Accordingly, they shall not be construed against Lender merely because of Lender’s involvement in their preparation.
72
16.18 Confidentiality. As required by federal law and Lender’s policies and practices, Lender may need to obtain, verify, and record certain customer identification information and documentation in connection with opening or maintaining accounts, or establishing or continuing to provide services. Lender agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts (equivalent to the efforts Lender applies to maintain the confidentiality of its own confidential information) to maintain as confidential all information provided to it by Borrower and designated as confidential, except that Lender may disclose such information (a) to Persons employed or engaged by Lender in evaluating, approving, structuring or administering the Loan; (b) to any assignee or participant or potential assignee or participant that has agreed to comply with the covenant contained in this Section 16.18 (and any such assignee or participant or potential assignee or participant may disclose such information to Persons employed or engaged by it as described in clause (a) above); (c) as required or requested by any federal or state regulatory authority or examiner, or any insurance industry association, or as reasonably believed by Lender to be compelled by any court decree, subpoena or legal or administrative order or process; (d) as, on the advice of Lender’s counsel, is required by law; (e) in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy under the Loan Documents or in connection with any litigation to which Lender is a party; (f) to any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to Lender; (g) to any Affiliate of Lender or any other Person that provides (or anticipates providing) Bank Products to Borrower; (h) to Lender’s independent auditors and other professional advisors as to which such information has been identified as confidential; or (i) that ceases to be confidential through no fault of Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower consents to the publication by Lender of a tombstone or similar advertising material relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and Lender reserves the right to provide to industry trade organizations information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements. If any provision of any confidentiality agreement, non-disclosure agreement or other similar agreement between Borrower and Lender conflicts with or contradicts this Section 16.18 with respect to the treatment of confidential information, this section shall supersede all such prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings between the parties.
16.19 Refinancing Right of First Refusal. Borrower agrees that at such time as the Loan is refinanced, Borrower shall permit Lender to offer a proposal for such refinancing upon Lender's then‑current underwriting standards. If Borrower solicits refinancing proposals from any other bank or credit source, Borrower shall give Lender the right to offer to Borrower a proposal on similar or more favorable terms then other competing proposals; provided, however, that such right of first offer shall not apply to a loan to Borrower from HUD. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower acknowledges that Lender is under no obligation whatsoever to make any proposal to Borrower on any specific terms and conditions.
16.20 Binding Effect. This Agreement and all rights and obligations hereunder shall be binding upon Borrower and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns.
16.21 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, and each such counterpart shall be
73
deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same Agreement. Receipt of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall constitute effective delivery thereof. Electronic records of executed Loan Documents maintained by Lender shall deemed to be originals.
