2.1 Continuation of Limited Liability Company. The Members hereby
continue the limited liability company (the "Company") pursuant to the
provisions of the Act. The terms and provisions hereof will be construed and
interpreted in accordance with the Act.
2.2 Name of Company. Before and after the date of this Agreement, the
Company will be conducted under the name "Sunrise [SHP/Sunrise Facility],
L.L.C." The Members shall have the power to change the name of the Company by
unanimous agreement at any time.
2.3 Purpose of Company. The purpose of the Company is to carry on the
business of purchasing, owning, repositioning, operating, managing, improving,
repairing, renting, mortgaging, refinancing, selling, conveying and otherwise
dealing with the Property and all the activities reasonably related thereto.
Except as permitted by this Section 2.3, the Company shall not engage in any
other business. In furtherance of the foregoing purposes, but expressly subject
to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company is empowered to enter
into contracts containing agreements to arbitrate disputes to the extent such
contracts are approved by the Managing Member. The Company is authorized to take
any legal measures which will assist it in accomplishing its purpose or benefit
the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as long as the Property is
encumbered by the Xxxxxxx Mac Loans, the Company shall not:
(a) engage in any business or activity other than the ownership,
operation and maintenance of the Property and activities incidental thereto;
(b) acquire or own any material assets other than (A) the Property,
and (B) such incidental machinery, furniture, equipment, fixtures, supplies,
food, beverage, advertising materials and personal property as may be necessary
for the leasing, marketing, maintenance and operation of the Property;
(c) fail to preserve its existence as a limited liability company,
validly existing and in good standing (if applicable) under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization or formation, or without the prior written
consent of the holder of the Xxxxxxx Mac Loans, amend, modify, terminate or fail
to comply with the provisions of this Agreement, as same may be further amended
or supplemented, if such amendment, modification, termination or failure to
comply would adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations under the
documents evidencing or securing the Xxxxxxx Mac Loans;
(d) fail to maintain its records, books of account and bank accounts
separate and apart from those of its Members and affiliates, the affiliates of
any of its Members, and any other
10
16
person; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit the
Company from being a party to and complying with its obligations under the
Pooling Agreement (as described in Section 9.9);
(e) fail either to hold itself out to the public as a legal person
separate and distinct from any other person or to conduct its business solely in
its own name in order not (A) to mislead others as to the identity with which
such other party is transacting business, or (B) to suggest that it is
responsible for the debts of any third party (including any of its members or
affiliates).
2.4 Principal and Registered Office. The principal office of the
Company shall initially be at the offices of Sunrise at 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx,
XxXxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000 or such other place as the Members may from time to time
determine. The registered agent and the registered address, respectively, of the

the Company's registered and principal offices by complying with the relevant
requirements of the Act.
2.5 Governing Law; Member Relations; Ownership of Property; Taxation
as a Partnership. Except as is expressly herein provided to the contrary, the
business, affairs, administration and termination of the Company shall be
governed by the Act, but, to the extent permitted thereby, shall not be governed
by any amendments to such law that become effective subsequent to the date of
this Agreement and that would only be applicable to the Company absent a
provision in this Agreement to the contrary, unless such amendments are adopted
as amendments to this Agreement pursuant to Section 16.10. The foregoing
notwithstanding, the Members' duties and obligations to one another under
circumstances not provided for in the Act or this Agreement shall be the same as
partners in a partnership governed by the relevant provisions of the
___________________ Uniform Partnership Act and the case law interpreting such
act. In no event shall the previous sentence be construed or applied in such a
manner to cause the Company to be treated as a partnership for any purpose other
than the determination of the Members' respective duties and obligations to one
another. The interest of each Member in the Company shall be personal property
for all purposes. No Member, individually, shall have any ownership interest in
any real or other property owned by the Company. Notwithstanding anything in
this Section 2.5 to the contrary, the Members intend that the Company shall at

ARTICLE 4. CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE MEMBERS
4.1 Capital Contributions of the Members. As of the Effective Date,
the Capital Accounts of the Members will be established to reflect (i) the
contribution made by SHP to the Company for SHP's 75% interest in the Company;
(ii) the agreed value of Sunrise's 25% interest in the Company, and (iii) any
additional cash contributed by any of the Members to the Company as of the
Effective Date. All the foregoing amounts shall be deemed to be Capital
Contributions by the Members for all purposes hereof. Each Member shall receive,
as a credit to its Capital Account, the amount shown on Exhibit C, which amounts
shall be Sunrise's Initial Contribution and SHP's Initial Contribution,
respectively. The initial Percentage Interest of each Member, as defined in
Section 9.1, is also set forth on Exhibit C.
4.2 No Other Contributions. Except as expressly required by this
Article 4, neither Member shall have any obligation to make any additional
contribution to the Company, nor to advance any funds thereto.
4.3 No Interest Payable. Except as otherwise provided herein, no
Member shall receive any interest on its contributions to the capital of the
Company.
4.4 No Withdrawals. The capital of the Company shall not be withdrawn,
except as hereinafter expressly stipulated. SHP agrees that Sunrise may withdraw
an amount equal to the contribution made by SHP pursuant to clause (i) of
Section 4.1.
4.5 Additional Contributions.
If the Managing Member determines, for any of the reasons set forth in
items (i)-(v) below, that the Company is in need of additional funding for
capital improvements or to fund operating deficits, the Managing Member shall
cause a notice to be given to each Member stating the total additional funding
required ("Notice to Finance"). The Managing Member shall be entitled to provide
a Notice to Finance for the following reasons but not for any other reason
whatsoever: (i) to fund capital improvements or pay operating expenses which are
provided for in the Approved Budget which has been submitted by the Property
Manager and approved by both Sunrise and SHP as provided in Section 6.6 below,
but for which the gross revenues of the Property are inadequate; (ii) to fund
any amount for capital expenses or operating improvements which the Property
Manager is entitled to and requires the Company, as Owner, to pay pursuant to
and in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement then in place;
(iii) to pay for capital improvements or other operating expenses not provided
for in the then-current Approved Budget but which Sunrise and SHP have
unanimously approved; (iv) to fund capital expenses necessary to prevent the
revocation of any license necessary for the operation of the Project or to pay
fines or take any other action reasonably necessary to prevent or cure
violations of laws applicable to the Project, if such violations will
materially, adversely affect the operation of the Project; or (v) to pay amounts
necessary to prevent or cure a default under any Loans. In addition to the right
of Managing Member to provide Notices to Finance as described above, XXX xxxxx
00
00
xxxx have the right to provide a Notice to Finance for any of the reasons
specified in items (iii), (iv), and (v) above. Within thirty (30) days following
the date upon which a Notice to Finance is given, each of the Members shall
contribute to the Company, as additional Capital Contributions, an amount
determined by multiplying that Member's Percentage Interest by the required
additional funding amount.
Any and all funds contributed by the Members pursuant to this Section 4.5 shall
be credited to their Capital Accounts and treated as Capital Contributions for
all purposes of this Agreement.
4.6 Non-Failing Member Options. If a Member fails to contribute an
amount equal to the entire amount required to be contributed by it within thirty
(30) days after a Notice to Finance is given (the "Failing Member"), and if the
other Member (the "Non-Failing Member") makes its proportionate contribution
within such thirty (30) day period, so notifying the Failing Member in writing,
and the Failing Member fails fully to remedy its failure to contribute within an
additional fifteen (15) days after the aforesaid notice or upon the expiration
of such thirty (30) day period, whichever is later, (the "Notice of Intention"),
then the Non-Failing Member may, in its sole discretion, but shall have no
obligation to do any of the following (it being the intention that none of the
following shall be exclusive of any other remedy):
(a) Withdraw from the Company its most recent proportionate
contribution made pursuant to this Section 4.6, in which case the Company shall
promptly repay the amount of such withdrawn contribution to the Non-Failing
Member, or
(b) make a loan to the Company (a "Special Loan") in an amount
equal to the sum of (i) the contribution which the Failing Member failed to make
pursuant to this Section 4.6, and (ii) the contribution made by the Non-Failing
Member, in which case the contribution made by the Non-Failing Member shall be
deemed instead to be part of the funds advanced in connection with making such
Special Loan (and the Special Loan shall bear interest and be payable upon the
terms described in Article 5 and any accrued interest shall be considered part
of the Special Loan for all purposes), or
(c) make an additional contribution to the Company not in excess
of the amount the Failing Member was to have contributed (a "Priority Capital
Contribution"), or
(d) not withdraw its most recent proportionate contribution made
pursuant to this Section 4.6 and not make a Special Loan or an additional
contribution to the Company as described immediately above, or
(e) commence the dissolution of the Company pursuant to Articles
12 and 13, or
(f) the Non-Failing Member may elect to acquire the Entire
Interest of the Failing Member for ninety percent (90%) of the Cash Purchase
Price (determined as provided in
15
21
Section 10.3(a) and using the procedures set forth in Section 10.3(a) with the
assumption that the Failing Member is the Other Member and has elected to sell
its Entire Interest and with the further assumption that the Specified Value is
the then current fair market value of the Company, in the opinion of a
reputable, qualified business appraisal firm, a copy of whose appraisal report
is provided by the Non-Failing Member to the Failing Member).
4.7 Change in Percentage Interest. If either Member makes a Priority
Capital Contribution pursuant to Section 4.6, each timely Capital contribution
made by the Non-Failing Member pursuant to Section 4.5 plus an amount equal to 3
times the Priority Capital Contribution, shall be added to and become part of
the Unreturned Capital Contributions of the Non-Failing Member (for all purposes
of this Agreement), the Non-Failing Member's Percentage Interest in the Company
shall be increased to the percentage determined by dividing the Non-Failing
Member's Unreturned Capital Contribution (after making the credit described
above) by the then total Unreturned Capital Contribution in the Company (after
credit for the Priority Capital Contribution only, but disregarding the 3 times
multiplier) and the Failing Member's Percentage Interest in the Company shall
simultaneously be reduced to a percentage equal to one hundred percent (100%),
less the Non-Failing Member's new Percentage Interest in the Company, as
calculated pursuant to the preceding clause of this Section 4.7.
4.8 Effect of Change of Percentage Interest. If the Percentage
Interests of the Members are changed pursuant to the operation of Section 4.7
above or any of the other terms of this Agreement during any calendar year, the
amounts of all items to be credited, charged or distributed to such Members for
such entire calendar year in accordance with their respective Percentage
Interest in the Company shall be allocated to the portion of such calendar year
which precedes the date of such change (and if there shall have been a prior
change in such calendar year, which commences on the date of such prior change)
and to the portion of such calendar year which occurs on and after the date of
such change (and if there shall be a subsequent change in such calendar year,
which precedes the date of such subsequent change), in proportion to the number
of days in each such portion, and the amounts of the items so allocated to each
such portion shall be credited, charged or distributed to such Members in
proportion to their respective Percentage Interest in the Company during each
such portion of the calendar year in question. For purposes of this Section 4.8,
the first calendar year shall commence on the date of this Agreement and shall
end on December 31 of the year in which this Agreement is dated.
ARTICLE 5. LOANS BY MEMBERS; XXXXXXX MAC LOANS
5.1 Loans. Neither Member shall be obligated to lend any money to the
Company and the Members may not require a loan to be made. Except as provided in
Section 6.7, and except for Special Loans made pursuant to Section 4.6, the
Company shall not borrow any money without the unanimous approval of the
Members. If, following such approval, either or both Members or an Affiliate of
either Member shall lend any money to the Company, such Special Loan or Loan, as
the case may be, shall not be considered a capital contribution of such Member
16
22
and shall not increase the Capital Account, Unreturned Capital Contribution or
Percentage Interest of such Member or entitle it to any increase in its share of
the distributions of the Company. Each Special Loan or Loan made by either
Member or any Affiliate thereof to the Company shall be an obligation of the
Company, provided that (i) neither Member shall be personally obligated to repay
the Special Loan or Loan or to make any contribution to the capital of the
Company to enable the Company to repay the Special Loan or Loan, and (ii) the
Special Loan or Loan shall be payable or collectible only out of the assets of
the Company. All Special Loans made pursuant to Section 4.6 shall be unsecured
and shall bear interest at the rate of 5% per annum above the prime rate
published in The Wall Street Journal (the "Prime Rate") from time to time,
compounded annually, while such Special Loans are outstanding. If The Wall
Street Journal ceases to publish the Prime Rate, the Members shall reasonably
determine a substitute method for determining the Prime Rate. In no event shall
the rate of interest on any Loan (including any Special Loan) exceed the highest
rate permitted by law for the lender which, if exceeded, could subject the
lending Member or an Affiliate to penalties or forfeiture of all or any part of
the interest or principal; such rate of interest on a Loan shall automatically
be reduced to the highest level permitted without violating any such law.
5.2 Payment of Special Loan and Loans. Subject to the other provisions
of this Section 5.2, all Operating Cash Flow and Extraordinary Cash Flow (but
without deduction for payment of interest or principal on any Special Loans or
Loans ) shall, to the extent of available cash, be applied and paid monthly,
first to the payment of accrued interest on any Special Loans, then to the
payment of principal of any Special Loans, then to the payment of accrued
interest on any Loans, and then to the payment of principal of any Loans, before
any distribution is made to a Member as stipulated in Article 9. If at any time
Special Loans by both members shall be outstanding, and if the aggregate
balances, including accrued interest, of such outstanding Special Loans made by
the respective Members shall not be in the proportion of the respective
Percentage Interests of the Members, then payment shall be made only upon the
Special Loan of the Member whose Special Loan balance, including accrued
interest, is disproportionately high, until the balances (including interest)
payable on the respective Member's Special Loans to the Company shall be in the
ratio of the respective Percentage Interests of the Members. If at any time
Loans by both Members shall be outstanding, and if the aggregate Loan balances,
including accrued interest, of such outstanding Loans made by the respective
Members shall not be in the ratio of the respective Percentage Interests of the
Members, then payment shall be made only upon the Loan of the Member whose Loan
balance, including accrued interest, is disproportionately high, until the
balance (including interest) payable on the respective Members' Loans to the
Company shall be in the ratio of the Members' respective Percentage Interests.
When the amounts of the Special Loan and/or Loan balances (including interest),
as the case may be, of the respective Members are in the ratio of the Percentage
Interests of the respective Members, all payments of interest on and repayments
of the principal of such Special Loans or Loans shall be pro rata in accordance
with the remaining balance (including interest) of each of the Special Loans or
Loans.
17
23
5.3 Xxxxxxx Mac Loans. As of the date of this Agreement, the
Properties are subject to the Xxxxxxx Mac Loans. The Members do hereby approve
the terms and conditions of the Xxxxxxx Mac Loans and authorize the Managing
Member to direct the Property Manager to comply with the terms and conditions of
the Xxxxxxx Mac Loans, and to make all payments due under the Xxxxxxx Mac Loans,
as and when due thereunder.
ARTICLE 6. MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY
6.1 Managing Member Authority, Rights and Duties . Subject to
obtaining the unanimous prior written approval of all Members for all Major
Decisions, as described in Section 6.10 below, and subject to the unilateral
right of SHP to require certain actions to be taken by the Company, as described

management, supervision and control of the Company and shall be responsible for
the establishment of policy and operating procedures respecting the business
affairs of the Company in its good-faith business judgment. The day-to-day
operations of the Property shall be the responsibility of the Managing Member,

Management Agreement. If requested by the other Members, Managing Member will
hold a meeting (either in person or by telephone), not more frequently than once
per calendar quarter, to provide the other Members a status report on the
Project operations. Unless and until removed by SHP pursuant to Section 12.1,
Sunrise shall be the Managing Member. Subject to Section 6.7 and Section 6.10
below, Managing Member shall have the following rights and authority to act on
behalf of the Company:

any claim or liability due to the Company;
(f) To make any tax elections to be made by the Company;
(g) To use a trade name in the operation of the Company;
(h) To execute, acknowledge or verify, and deliver any and all
instruments that the Manager considers necessary or desirable to effectuate any
of the foregoing;
(i) To take all action reasonably necessary to maintain in full force
and effect all licenses, permits, approvals and insurance required for the
operation of the Project; and
(j) To do any and all of the foregoing upon such other terms and
conditions as the Managing Member, in its reasonable discretion, determines to
be necessary, desirable or appropriate.
6.2 Bank Accounts. The Company will maintain separate bank accounts in
such banks as the Managing Member may designate exclusively for the deposit and
disbursement of all funds of the Company, subject to the approval of such banks
by all Members. All funds of the Company shall be promptly deposited in such
accounts. The Managing Member from time to time shall authorize signatories for
such accounts, which shall include at least two (2) individuals designated by
each Member.
6.3 Reimbursement for Costs and Expenses. Subject to the terms of the
Approved Budget, the Managing Member will fix the amounts, if any, by which the
Company will reimburse each Member for any costs and expenses incurred by such
Member on behalf and for the benefit of the Company; provided, however, that
except as otherwise provided herein or in any separately-executed agreement
relating to the business and operation of the Company, no overhead or general
administrative expenses of any person or entity anyone other than the Company
itself shall be allocated to the operation of the Company, and no salaries,
fees, commissions or other compensations shall be paid by the Company to any
Affiliate of any Member or to any partner, officer or employee of either Member
or its Affiliates for any services rendered to the Company. The Managing Member
shall not be entitled to any fee or compensation for performing its duties and
obligations under this Agreement, nor, except as expressly provided in any
Approved Budget, shall the Managing Member be entitled to reimbursement for any
costs or expenses in connection with the performance of its duties.
6.4 Fidelity Bonds and Insurance. Managing Member shall cause Property
Manager (including, without limitation, the Initial Property Manager) to obtain
fidelity bonds with reputable surety companies, covering all persons having
access to the Company's funds and indemnifying the Company against loss
resulting from fraud, theft, dishonesty and other wrongful acts of such persons.
The Company shall carry, in companies acceptable to the
19
25
Managing Member all property, liability and worker's compensation insurance as
shall be required under applicable mortgages, leases, agreements, and other
instruments and statutes in accordance with risk management guidelines
unanimously agreed upon by the Members; provided, however, that if property
insurance coverage is available to SHP at rates 95% or less than the rates for
the property insurance obtained by Managing Member and is otherwise
substantially similar in scope, amounts of coverage and deductibles, SHP shall
have the right to require the Company to carry property insurance coverage
through the blanket insurance coverages to which SHP has access. The expense of
such fidelity bond shall be paid by Property Manager (including, without
limitation, the Initial Property Manager), but the cost of the other insurance
shall be an expense of the Company.
6.5 Management Agreement. On or about the date of this Agreement, the
Company will enter into a Management Agreement ("Initial Management Agreement")
with Initial Property Manager, in the form and containing the provisions of
Exhibit D hereto attached and made a part hereof, providing that Initial
Property Manager will manage the day-to-day operation of the Property, as an
independent contractor, for the compensation and term specified therein. Should
such Initial Management Agreement terminate for any reason, the Company will
enter into an agreement for management of the Property with an operator or
operators satisfactory to SHP. Such Initial Management Agreement (or any other
management agreement entered into by the Company after the termination or
expiration of such Initial Management Agreement), as the same may be amended or
restated from time to time, is referred to herein as the "Management Agreement".
The ownership of and transfers of interests in Initial Property Manager shall be
limited as set forth in the Initial Management Agreement.
6.6 Approved Budget. As defined in, and as required by the terms of
the Initial Management Agreement, the Annual Operating Budget, Marketing Budget,
Capital Budget and Repairs and Equipment Estimate (collectively "Budgets") will
be prepared by the Initial Property Manager and delivered to Managing Member,
who will in turn deliver all such items to the other Members. All Budgets for
the upcoming calendar year will be delivered to SHP for review not later than
November 15 of the preceding year. The Owner's approval right in the Initial
Management Agreement, and in any subsequent Management Agreement, with respect
to all Budgets, shall require the prior written approval of all Members before
Managing Member can approve any of the Budgets. SHP's approval of the Budgets
will be subject to the terms and conditions set forth below in this Section 6.6.
The Annual Operating Budget, Marketing Budget, Capital Budget and Repairs and
Equipment Estimate approved by SHP for any calendar year are referred to in this
Agreement collectively as the "Approved Budget."
(a) Annual Operating Budget. So long as the Properties are
producing NOI which equals or exceeds the NOI set forth on the operating
pro-forma approved by SHP for the Properties, a copy of which is attached hereto
as Exhibit E (the "Operating Pro Forma"), SHP will not unreasonably withhold its
approval of the Annual Operating Budget and Marketing Budget proposed by the
Initial Property Manager. To the extent that the Properties do not produce NOI,
for any calendar year, equal to or better than the Operating Pro Forma for that
year,
20
26
SHP shall have the right to approve, in SHP's sole and absolute discretion, the
Annual Operating Budget and Marketing Budget proposed for subsequent calendar
years until the Properties produce NOI for an entire calendar year which is
equal to or exceeds the NOI for that year in the Operating Pro Forma, in which
case SHP will again be obligated not to unreasonably withhold its approval of
the proposed Annual Operating Budget, unless and until the Properties fail to
produce NOI for any calendar year thereafter which is not equal to or greater
than the NOI shown in the Operating Pro Forma for that year. The Operating Pro
Forma attached hereto as Exhibit E contains projected NOI for only the first
five (5) years following the date of this Agreement. In connection with the
review and approval process for the Budgets for calendar year 2006, Managing
Member and SHP shall negotiate in good faith to reach agreement on projected NOI
figures for the next succeeding five-year period to be used for purposes of this
Section 6.6(a). If the parties are unable to agree on the projected NOI for such
next succeeding five (5) year period, the NOI shall be increased for each
calendar year thereafter during the next five (5) year period by the greater of
(i) three and one-half (3 1/2%) per cent or (ii) the percentage increase in the
figure at which the CPI stands as of January 1, 2006 (or 2011, 2016, 2021 or
2026, as applicable), compared to the figure at which the CPI stands on the
previous January 1. Managing Member and SHP will attempt to agree on projected
NOI figures as of the beginning of each five-year period (i.e., 2006, 2011,
2016, etc.) using the procedure set forth above. If the parties are unable to
agree, the projected NOI will continue to be increased on an annual basis using
the method described above. To the extent that any proposed Annual Operating
Budget is not approved prior to the commencement of the fiscal year to which
such budget is to relate, the Annual Operating Budget for the prior fiscal year,
plus a three and one-half percent (3 1/2%) increase for each line item contained
in such budget, shall be utilized in connection with the operation of the
Property.
(b) Capital Budget. The Capital Budget proposed by Initial
Property Manager will include the Repairs and Equipment Estimate and a reserve
of $500 per unit, in the Property to be available for capital repairs and the
acquisition of furniture, fixtures and equipment normally capitalized under
generally accepted accounting principles ("Reserve"). The Reserve for the
Property shall be held by the Initial Property Manager in an interest bearing
account and shall be expended only for capital repairs/replacements and/or
capitalized furniture, fixtures or equipment which are authorized in an approved
Annual Operating Budget or an approved Capital Budget. To the extent that funds
are reserved for items set forth in the approved Capital Budget and are not
spent in a given year for which the Capital Budget relates, the funds will be
carried over into a separate reserve account for future use on items included
within a future approved Capital Budget, but may not be used for any other
purpose; provided, however, that any accumulated amount in the Reserve which is
in excess of $35,000.00 will not be carried over into a new fiscal year but will
instead by distributed as part of Operating Cash Flow at the end of such fiscal
year, unless the expenditure of such excess funds is contemplated by the next
year's Approved Budget
(c) SHP's approval rights with respect to the Repairs and
Equipment Estimate and the Capital Budget, shall be subject to the following
conditions: (i) with respect to expenditures
21
27
which the Initial Property Manager is entitled to require the Owner to fund,
(e.g. to comply with laws, maintain licenses, prevent defaults under the Xxxxxxx
Mac Loans or prevent a material safety hazard), SHP may not withhold its
approval under any circumstances and shall be obligated to approve the
expenditures; (ii) with respect to expenditures which are in the nature of
repairs, maintenance or capital replacements of items which are worn out or are
in disrepair and which the Initial Property Manager believes are necessary to
maintain the Project in accordance with the standards customary for first-class
senior housing facilities, SHP shall not unreasonably withhold its approval; and
(iii) with respect to any other capital expenditures including, without
limitation, expansions or additions to the Project, additions of new amenities
to the Project, upgrades to materials used in the interior or exterior of the
Project, and improvements to change the appearance of the Project, SHP shall
have the right to withhold its approval in its sole and absolute discretion.
(d) If the Initial Management Agreement is terminated, the Management
Agreement with a new Property Manager shall be subject to the approval of SHP in
SHP's sole and absolute discretion, but it shall provide for Budgets of the type
described in the Initial Management Agreement and will require those Budgets to
be submitted to the Owner by the dates set forth in the Initial Management
Agreement. However, the categories and expenditures which the Initial Property
Manager shall be entitled to require the Owner to fund, if any, shall be
modified or eliminated in the new Management Agreement, and, subject to the
requirements of any Loan, the Reserve shall be eliminated, all as directed by
SHP at the time the new Management Agreement is negotiated and executed.
6.7 SHP's Rights.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 6,
SHP, in its capacity as a Member, and not in a representative capacity, shall
have the sole and exclusive right, without the unanimous approval of the
Members, to cause or permit the Company to do or perform the following:
(1) subject to, and only in accordance with, the
provisions of Section 10.5 (and subject to the rights of Sunrise, which are also
provided in Section 10.5), to cause the Property to be sold or to market the
Property;
(2) to cause any loans (including the Xxxxxxx Mac Loans)
to be paid off, in whole or in part, in connection with any sale of the Property
which SHP is entitled to, and elects to, consummate as provided in this
Agreement; provided, however, any prepayment penalties thereby incurred shall be
paid by the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests at
the time in question;
(3) subject to, and only in accordance with, Section
6.7(b), to cause the Company to refinance debt for the Property or the
Properties after the Xxxxxxx Mac Loans are paid off; so long as neither Member
is economically disadvantaged by the refinancing and
22
28
provided that any prepayment penalties thereby incurred shall be paid by the
Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests at the time in
question;
(4) to exercise any of the Company's rights to terminate
the Initial Management Agreement (or any subsequent Management Agreement) and to
cause the Company to enter into a Management Agreement with a new Property
Manager; provided, however, if SHP requires Owner to exercise the termination
right provided to Owner under Section 12.01(h) of the Initial Management
Agreement, SHP shall be obligated to require the Owner of each of the other
Properties located in ___________________ to exercise concurrently the same
termination right in each of the Initial Management Agreements for those
Properties and to pay the Termination Fee due under each of such Initial
Management Agreements concurrently (but such requirement shall not be applicable
with respect to any Property which has been conveyed, prior to the effective
date of termination, to a third party which is not an Affiliate of SHP); or
(5) to determine whether and to what extent the Property
should be repaired or restored in the event of (i) a loss by fire or other
casualty, if the estimated costs of repair or restoration (as determined by the
Company's property insurance carrier) exceed 10% of the then current fair market
value of the Property (as determined by an experienced, reputable M.A.I.
appraiser selected by the Managing Member), or (ii) a condemnation of any
portion of the Property, the fair market value of which, exceeds 10% of the then
current fair market value of the Property (as determined by an experienced,
reputable M.A.I. appraiser selected by the Managing Member).
(b) If the Xxxxxxx Mac Loans (or any subsequent loans) expire
and/or are paid off and released by the Company pursuant to their terms and SHP
determines to refinance the Property or the Properties pursuant to Section
6.7(a)(3), SHP shall deliver a notice to Sunrise (a "Finance Proposal Notice")
of SHP's intent, which notice shall include the proposed terms of such
refinancing and a list of the lenders from which SHP intends to seek such
refinancing ("SHP's Lender List"). While SHP is trying to obtain such
refinancing from a lender, Sunrise may concurrently seek alternatives to SHP's
proposed financing or refinancing from other lenders provided Sunrise has
delivered a notice to SHP of Sunrise's intent, which notice shall include a list
of the lenders from which Sunrise intends to seek such financing or refinancing
("Sunrise's Lender List"). Sunrise shall not, without the unanimous prior
written approval of all Members, have any authority to bind the Company to any
loan commitment. Subject to complying with the remaining provisions of this
Section 6.7, SHP shall have the authority to bind the Company to a loan
commitment. Sunrise's Lender List shall not include any of the lenders included
in SHP's Lender List. The Members shall coordinate their efforts to assure that
Sunrise does not approach prospective lenders which are on SHP's Lender List and
SHP does not approach prospective lenders which are on Sunrise's Lender List.
When SHP has determined the actual refinancing structure it wishes to
obtain and has identified the lender willing to provide such financing or
refinancing, SHP shall deliver a second notice to Sunrise (a "Financing
Commitment Notice") setting forth the terms of such refinancing
23
29
and the identity of such lender. If (i) Sunrise notifies SHP within ten (10)
days after Sunrise's receipt of the Financing Commitment Notice that Sunrise has
identified an alternative lender which will provide refinancing on the same or
better terms as that proposed by SHP (including loan amount, term, amortization
schedule, interest rate, prepayment penalties and participation features) at a
lower cost and which will not result in a Plan Violation; and (ii) SHP, in SHP's
sole and absolute discretion, determines that the financing from the alternative
lender identified by Sunrise will provide comparable refinancing on the same or
better terms as that proposed by SHP, including operation and ownership
constraints, and that the Company will be able to obtain such financing or
refinancing within the time parameter determined by SHP, then the Company shall
pursue such refinancing from such alternative lender, otherwise SHP shall have
the right to bind the Company to a loan commitment and shall be free to proceed
to close the refinancing outlined in the Financing Commitment Notice.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth hereinabove, neither Member
shall have the right, without the other Member's consent, to seek any financing
or refinancing which: (i) is recourse to any Member; (ii) is convertible or
includes any participating mortgage structure (i.e., a mortgage which grants to
the mortgagee an equity interest or an option to convert some or all of the debt
into an equity interest); (iii) commits the other Member to relinquish any of
its equity in the Company or dilute its Percentage Interest or its interest in
any item of income, loss or cash; (iv) requires any changes to the terms of the
Management Agreement, or (v) will result in the Property having a debt service
coverage ratio (as of the date of the closing of the financing or refinancing)
of less than 1.3 to 1. As used above, the term Debt Service Coverage Ratio shall
mean the ratio of (x) the annualized cash flow (including both Operating Cash
Flow and Extraordinary Cash Flow for the Property and based upon the four
calendar months immediately preceding the date the new financing or refinancing
will be closed) prior to the payment of debt service of the Company to (y) the
then annual debt service payable under all outstanding debt attributable to the
Property (excluding Loans and Special Loans) immediately after funding of the
new refinancing, including debt service on such financing or refinancing.
6.8 Indemnification. Neither Member shall be liable to the Company or
to the other Member for any act performed or omitted to be performed by the
Member in connection with Company business, unless the Member's course of
conduct was in breach of this Agreement or constituted fraud, unauthorized acts,
bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence. A Member shall defend and
indemnify the Company and the other Member against, and hold it and them
harmless from, any loss, damage, claim, judgment, cost, expense or liability,
including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred or sustained by the Company or
the other Member or either of them by reason of the indemnifying Member's fraud,
bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence, unauthorized acts or breach of
this Agreement. The Company shall defend and indemnify each Member against, and
hold it and them harmless from, any loss, damage, claim, judgment, cost, expense
or liability, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred or sustained by the
Member by reason of any act performed by it on behalf of the Company or in
furtherance of the Company's interests other than by fraud, bad faith, willful
misconduct, gross negligence, unauthorized acts or breach of this Agreement. The
Company shall defend and indemnify any person executing the original Articles of
Organization against, and hold such person harmless
24
30
from, any loss, damage, claim, judgment, cost, expense or liability, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred or sustained by such person by reason of
having prepared or filed the original Articles of Organization or his status as
the organizer of the Company, except to the extent of such person's fraud, bad
faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence.
6.9 Operation as a REOC. The Company shall conduct its activities so
as to qualify the Company as a "real estate operating company" ("REOC") within
the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101 (the "Plan Assets Regulation"). The
Company shall also require the Initial Management Agreement for the Initial
Property Manager and the Management Agreement for any subsequent Property
Manager to include a requirement that the Property be operated as a REOC. The
"annual valuation period" of the Company for purposes of qualifying as a REOC
under the Plan Assets Regulation shall be the 90-day period commencing on each
Anniversary Date (as defined below) unless the Company pre-specifies an earlier
annual valuation period in accordance with the Plan Assets Regulation.
"Anniversary Date" means each anniversary of the Company's first investment
other than a short-term investment pending long-term commitment.

decisions ("Major Decisions"), which shall require the prior written approval of

that the Company may recognize cost savings by doing so.
7.3 Audits. Either Member may, at its option and at its own expense,

shall fail to give such notice within said thirty (30)-day period, such
statements and the contents thereof shall, in the absence of fraud or willful
misconduct by the other Member or the independent certified public accountants
certifying the statements, be deemed conclusive and binding upon such party so

have received based on a distribution of Operating Cash Flow set forth in the
Approved Financial Statement, the Excess Member shall recontribute to the
Company, within fifteen (15) days after the creation of the applicable Approved
Financial Statement, the excess amount (the "Excess Amount") received by it. The
Company shall then distribute such Excess Amount (1) first, to any Member who
received a distribution less than such Member should have received based on the
distribution of Operating Cash Flow set forth in the Approved Financial
Statement, an amount equal to such deficiency and (2) second, to the extent of
the remaining Excess Amount, in accordance with Section 9.3.

retain such amount as a reserve. Any non-cash consideration received pursuant to
a Major Capital Event, including, without limitation, promissory notes or
deferred payment obligations, shall only be deemed to be included in
Extraordinary Cash Flow when received in cash by the Company; provided, however,

cumulative return, compounded annually, on SHP's Unreturned Capital
Contributions, of ten percent (10%) per annum. SHP's Preferred Return for the

9.4 Allocation of Profits and Losses For Capital Account Purposes.
After giving effect to the allocations set forth in Section 9.6
hereof, all Profit and Loss (and to the extent necessary, as set forth in
clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 9.4, items of gross income, gain,
expense and loss) of the Company shall be allocated to the Members as follows:
(a) If, the Company has Profit for any taxable year (determined
prior to giving effect to this clause), each Member whose Partially Adjusted
Capital Account is greater than its Target Capital Account, shall be allocated
items of Company expense or loss for such year equal to the difference between
its Partially Adjusted Capital Account and Target Capital Account. If the
Company has insufficient items of expense or loss for such year to satisfy the
previous sentence with respect to all such Members, the available items of
expense or loss shall be divided among such Members in proportion to such
difference.
(b) If the Company has a Loss for any year (determined prior to
giving effect to this clause), each Member whose Partially Adjusted Capital
Account is less than its Target Capital Account shall be allocated items of
Company gain or income for such year equal to the difference between its
Partially Adjusted Capital Account and Target Capital Account. If the Company
has insufficient items of income or gain for such year to satisfy the previous
sentence with respect to all such Members, the available items of income or gain
shall be divided among such Members in proportion to such difference.
(c) Any remaining Profit (as computed after giving effect to
clauses (a) and (b) hereof and to the extent necessary to achieve the purposes
hereof) shall be allocated among the Members with Target Capital Accounts (as
computed after giving effect to clauses (a) and (b) of this section) in excess
of Partially Adjusted Capital Accounts so as to reduce, proportionately, the
differences between their respective Partially Adjusted Capital Accounts and
Target Capital Accounts for the period under consideration. To the extent
possible, each Member shall be allocated a pro-rata share of the Company items
allocated pursuant to this clause (c). ( d) Any remaining Loss (as computed
after giving effect to clauses (a) and (b) of this section and to the extent
necessary to achieve the purposes hereof) shall be allocated among the Members
with Partially Adjusted Capital Accounts in excess of Target Capital Account (as
computed after giving effect to clauses (a) and (b) of this section) so as to
reduce, proportionately, the difference between their respective Partially
Adjusted Capital Accounts and Target Capital Accounts for the period under
consideration. To the extent possible, each Member shall be allocated a pro-rata
share of all the Company items allocated pursuant to this clause (d).
9.5 Distributed Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
Article 9, upon the distribution of property to a Member, for the purposes of
computing Profits and Losses, such
35
41
property shall be treated as if it had been sold for its fair market value on
the date of such distribution.
9.6 Special Allocations. The following special allocations shall be
made in the following order:
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(f) of the
Regulations, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 9, if there is
a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Company taxable year, each
Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such
taxable year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such
Member's share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in
accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the
previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required
to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated
shall be determined in accordance with Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2)
of the Regulations. This Section 9.6(a) is intended to comply with the minimum
gain chargeback requirement in Section 1.704-2(f) of the Regulations and shall
be interpreted consistently therewith.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the
Regulations, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 9, if there is
a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Member
Nonrecourse Debt during any Company taxable year, each Member who has a share of
the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse
Debt, determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i)(5) of the Regulations,
shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such year
(and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Member's share
of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such
Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section
1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in
proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member
pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance
with Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2) of the Regulations. This Section
9.6(b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in
Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently
therewith.
(c) The allocation contained in this Section 9.6(c) is intended
to be a "qualified income offset" as defined in Treasury Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) on the date hereof and shall be interpreted in a manner
consistent with such regulation. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section
9.6(c), a Member shall not be allocated Losses or deductions if such allocation
would cause or increase a deficit balance in such Member's Adjusted Capital
Account (as defined below) as of the end of the calendar year to which such
allocation relates. Any such Losses or deductions that would have been allocated
to such Member but for the preceding sentence shall, to the extent permitted by
this Section 9.6(c) be allocated to the other Member. In addition, if in any
taxable year, a Member unexpectedly
36
42
receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution that exceeds offsetting
increases to such Member's Adjusted Capital Account in such taxable year (other
than increases pursuant to this Section 9.6(c) then such Member shall be
allocated gross income equal to the "Qualified Income Offset Amount". The
Qualified Income Offset Amount is an amount equal to the amount by which zero
exceeds a Member's Adjusted Capital Account. If in any taxable year to which
this Section 9.6(c) applies the items of gross income of the Company are less
than the amount of the Qualified Income Offset Amounts for all of the Members to
which this Section 9.6(c) applies, then each Member to which this Section 9.6(c)
applies shall be allocated a pro rata amount of gross income, and in subsequent
taxable years each of such Members shall be allocated gross income, equal to the
amount which, when added to the allocations to such Member pursuant to this
Section 9.6(c) in prior taxable years, will equal the Qualified Income Offset
Amount applicable to such Member for such prior taxable year and for such
subsequent taxable years. A Member's "Adjusted Capital Account" shall mean such
Member's Capital Account (i) reduced for distributions that, as of the end of
the taxable year, reasonably are expected to be paid to such Member to the
extent that such distributions exceed offsetting increases to such Member's
Capital Account that reasonably are expected to occur during (or prior to) the
taxable years in which such distributions reasonably are expected to be made
(other than increases resulting from allocations pursuant to Section 9.6(a) and
(ii) increased for (a) the amount of such Member's share of Company Minimum
Gain, (b) the amount of such Member's Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain and (c) such
Member's future obligations to contribute to the Company (if any). For purposes
of determining the amount of expected distributions and expected Capital Account
increases, the book basis will be presumed to be the fair market value of
Company property.
(d) Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated among the Members
in accordance with their Percentage Interests.
(e) Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable year shall
be specially allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with
respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse
Deductions are attributable in accordance with Regulations Section
1.704-2(i)(1).
(f) To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any
Company asset pursuant to Section 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required,
pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account
in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital
Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the
basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such
item of gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in a manner
consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be
adjusted pursuant to such section of the Regulations.
(g) Any special allocations of items of income, gain, loss or
deduction pursuant to this Section 9.6 (including such allocations as have been
made in the past as well as such allocations as are reasonably expected to be
made in the future) shall be taken into account
37
43
for the purpose of equitably adjusting subsequent allocations of items of
income, gain, loss or deduction so that the net allocations, in the aggregate,
allocated to each Member pursuant to this Article 9, and the Capital Accounts of
each Member, shall to the extent possible without violating the constraints set
forth in Section 9.4 and this Section 9.6, be the same as if no special
allocations had been made under this Section 9.6.
9.7 Allocations of Profits and Losses for Tax Purposes. For federal
income tax purposes, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be
allocated among the Members in the same manner as its correlative item of "book"
income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated pursuant to this Agreement. In an
attempt to eliminate Book-Tax Disparities attributable to a Contributed
Property, items of income, gain, loss and deduction attributable to a
Contributed Property shall be allocated for federal income tax purposes among
the Members as follows:
(a) In the case of a Contributed Property, such items attributable
thereto shall be allocated among the Members consistent with the principles of
Section 704(c) of the Code to take into account the variation between the 704(c)
Value of such property and its adjusted basis at the time of contribution; and
(b) any gain or loss remaining attributable to a Contributed Property
shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as its correlative items
of "book" gain or loss is allocated pursuant to this Agreement.
To the extent the Regulations promulgated pursuant to Section 704(c) of the Code
permit the utilization of alternative methods to eliminate the disparity between
the agreed value of property and its adjusted basis, the Managing Member shall
have the authority to elect the method to be used by the Company, and such
election shall be binding on all Members.
9.8 Recapture and Investment Credits.
(a) Investment tax credits, if any, shall be allocated to the
Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.
(b) Any recapture of depreciation deductions or investment tax
credits shall be allocated to the Member to whom (or to the predecessors in
interest of whom) were allocated the prior depreciation deductions or investment
tax credits, as the case may be.
9.9 Distributions and Allocations Subject to Pooling Agreement. The
Company, Sunrise and SHP, together with Sunrise Abington Assisted Living,
L.L.C., Sunrise Granite Run Assisted Living, L.L.C., Sunrise Haverford
Assisted Living, L.L.C., Sunrise Xxxxxx Plains Assisted Living, L.L.C.,
Sunrise Xxxxx Assisted Living, L.L.C., Sunrise Springfield Assisted Living,
L.L.C., and Sunrise Westfield Assisted Living, L.L.C. are parties to that
certain Pooling and Partnership Agreement of even date herewith ("Pooling
Agreement"). Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling Agreement, Sunrise and
SHP, and the owners of all of the Properties, have agreed,
38
44
in certain circumstances, to aggregate and combine the distributions from this
property and all of the other Properties as long as those Properties are owned
by Sunrise and SHP or their respective Affiliates. Sunrise and SHP acknowledge
that, to the extent required by the Pooling Agreement, all distributions under
this Agreement shall be subject to the terms of the Pooling Agreement and the
actual cash distributions to the Members under this Agreement (and under the LLC
Operating Agreements for the Owners of each of the other Properties), will be
subject to and made in accordance with the terms of the Pooling Agreement.
ARTICLE 10. ASSIGNMENT AND OFFER TO PURCHASE
10.1 Transfers.
(a) Neither Member, nor any permitted assignee or successor in
interest of either Member, may sell, assign, give or otherwise transfer
(collectively, "Transfer") its interest in the Company, or any part thereof,
except as provided in this Article 10. Neither Member, nor any permitted
assignee or successor in interest of either Member, may pledge, hypothecate or
encumber its interest in the Company, or any part thereof, without the prior
written consent of the other Member (which consent may be withheld or denied in
the sole and absolute discretion of the other Member). Except as provided in
Sections 10.1(d), 10.1(e), 10.6(c) or 10.7(i) and for the limited purpose
described therein, neither Member shall have the right to Transfer less than all
of its Entire Interest.
(b) Transfer by SHP of its Entire Interest in the Company to an
Affiliate shall be a Transfer permitted under this Article 10 and SHP shall not
be required to obtain the consent of, nor offer the interest to be transferred
to, Sunrise. A Transfer by Sunrise of its Entire Interest in the Company to an
Affiliate shall be a Transfer permitted under this Article 10 and Sunrise shall
not be required to obtain the consent of, nor offer the interest to be
transferred to, SHP; provided that such Affiliate is at least 51% owned by
Acceptable Persons who have the right to control such Affiliate.
(c) In the event of a termination of the Company within the
meaning of Section 708 of the Code because of the dissolution of or a Transfer
of any interest in a Member or an entity owning directly or indirectly a
beneficial interest in a Member or a Transfer of a Member's interest in the
Company, such Member shall indemnify the other Member (the "Indemnitee") and
hold the Indemnitee harmless for, from and against any and all net adverse
federal, state or local tax consequences (including any diminution or delay in
any depreciation, recovery or amortization deductions and any and all penalties,
interest, expenses and taxes on payments made pursuant to this Section 10.1(c))
which the Indemnitee shall sustain as a result of such termination.
(d) If either Member shall transfer a portion of its interest in
the Company, as provided in Section 10.3, 10.4 or 10.5(d) that, together with
other interests in the Company Transferred during the preceding 12 months,
represents more than a 49% interest in the total
39
45
profits and capital of the Company, such Transfer, at either Member's option,
shall be effected so as to avoid a termination of the Company for federal income
tax purposes under Section 708(b)(1)(B) of the Code, and for that purpose the
Members agree to negotiate modifications to this Agreement in good faith.
(e) It shall be a condition precedent to any Transfer permitted
under Section 10.1(b) that the transferee shall have executed and delivered to
the Members an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to them to the
effect that the transferee agrees to be bound by all of the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, and that the transferee is acquiring an interest in the
Company subject thereto.
(f) If the ownership interests of either Member are transferred,
without the consent of the holder of the Xxxxxxx Mac Loans, in a manner that
results in a Prohibited Transfer, as defined in the Xxxxxxx Mac Loans, the
Member who causes such Prohibited Transfer to occur shall be obligated to
indemnify and hold the other Member harmless with respect to (i) any prepayment
premiums or charges required to be paid by the holder of the Xxxxxxx Mac Loans,
if such holder elects to terminate the Xxxxxxx Mac Loans and declare the entire
principal balance due and payable as a result of the Prohibited Transfer; and
(ii) with respect to any deficiency judgment which such other Member becomes
obligated to pay as a result of such Prohibited Transfer causing such other
Member's guaranty under the Xxxxxxx Mac Loans to become a guaranty of all
principal and interest due under the Xxxxxxx Mac Loans. If the Member which
causes such Prohibited Transfer to occur shall be SHP, the indemnity required
herein shall also be provided by Senior Housing Partners I, L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership, which is the sole member of SHP. If the Member which causes
the Prohibited Transfer to occur shall be Sunrise, such indemnity shall also be
provided by Sunrise Assisted Living, Inc., which is the parent corporation of
Sunrise.
10.2 Other Assignments Void.
(a) Any purported transfer of an interest in the Company not
otherwise permitted by this Article 10 shall be null and void and of no effect
whatsoever.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 10.1(c), Sunrise shall
not, without the prior written consent of SHP, which may be granted or withheld
in SHP's sole and absolute discretion, transfer, pledge, convey or encumber any
of the interest in Sunrise or in the Initial Property Manager to any person who
is not an Acceptable Person or to any entity controlling interest of which is
not owned by an Acceptable Person.
10.3 Sale of Entire Interest to Other Member; Buy-Sell.
(a) Either Member (the "Initiating Member") may at any time
after November 1, 2004 (or SHP may, at any time prior to that date, if SHP has
caused the Company to terminate the Initial Management Agreement for cause, as
provided therein), give the other Member (the
40
46
"Other Member") a written notice (the "Termination Notice") setting forth (i)
the value ("Specified Value") which the Initiating Member places on all the
assets of the Company, (ii) the selling price, which must consist wholly of cash
(the "Cash Selling Price"), for the Initiating Member's entire equity interest
in the Company ("Entire Interest") and (iii) the purchase price, which must
consist wholly of cash (the "Cash Purchase Price"), for the Other Member's
Entire Interest in the Company. The Cash Selling Price and the Cash Purchase
Price specified in the Termination Notice shall be the amounts determined by a
reputable independent certified public accountant (computed at the Initiating
Member's expense) that the Initiating Member and the Other Member would receive
(taking into account repayments of Special Loans and Loans in the proper
priority specified in this Agreement) if the Company were to liquidate all of
its assets at the Specified Value and the Company were to dissolve and
distribute the proceeds of liquidation (in accordance with the procedures and
priorities stated in Article 13) effective as of the date of the Termination
Notice. The calculation of the amounts a Member would receive in exchange for
its Entire Interest in the Company, if the Company were to dissolve, liquidate
its assets and distribute the liquidation proceeds effective as of the date of
the Termination Notice, shall be made in accordance with the provisions of
Section 13.5; provided, however, that, reserves shall be established, if
appropriate pursuant to Section 13.5(b) with respect to contingent liabilities
and any amounts in such reserves which are not applied to satisfy contingent
liabilities shall be disbursed promptly to the Selling Member. No deduction from
the hypothetical liquidation proceeds shall be made with respect to transfer and
other taxes. The Termination Notice shall be accompanied by an xxxxxxx money
deposit in an amount equal to $250,000.00 of the Cash Purchase Price (said
amount, together with any interest earned thereon, being hereinafter called the
"Initiating Member's Deposit").
(b) The Other Member shall, on or before the date that is sixty
(60) days after the date of receipt of the Termination Notice, either accept the
offer to sell the Other Member's Entire Interest to the Initiating Member, or
accept the offer of the Initiating Member to sell the Initiating Member's Entire
Interest to the Other Member. If the Other Member elects to accept the
Initiating Member's offer to sell the Initiating Member's Entire Interest, its
notice of such election shall be accompanied by (i) the return of the Initiating
Member's Deposit and (ii) its own xxxxxxx money deposit in an amount equal to
$250,000.00 (said amount, together with any interest earned thereon, being
hereinafter called the "Other Member's Deposit"). If the Other Member fails to
respond to the Termination Notice within such sixty (60) day period, the failure
to respond shall be deemed the Other Member's election to accept the offer of
the Initiating Member to purchase the Entire Interest of the Other Member in
accordance with the Termination Notice.
(c) Funding of the purchase and sale pursuant to this Section
10.3 shall occur on the date which is not later than one hundred fifty (150)
days after the Other Member's election or deemed election pursuant to Section
10.3(b), or at such other time as may be otherwise agreed to in writing by the
Other Member and the Initiating Member. The closing shall occur at the office of
the purchasing Member's counsel, unless otherwise agreed by the Members. The
Initiating Member's Deposit or the Other Member's Deposit, as the case may be,
shall be credited
41
47
against the total purchase price for the Entire Interest being purchased
pursuant to this Section 10.3; provided, however, if the closing shall fail to
occur because of a default by the purchasing Member, the selling Member shall
have the right, as its exclusive remedy, to retain the xxxxxxx money deposit as
liquidated damages, it being agreed that in such instance such selling Member's
actual damages would be difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain.
(d) In connection with the sale of one Member's Entire Interest
to the other Member pursuant to this Section 10.3, all of the provisions of
Section 10.7 shall be applicable to such sale.
10.4 Right of First Refusal for Sale of the Property to Third Party.
(a) At any time from after November 1, 2004 that either SHP or
Sunrise receives from a third party (the "Offeror") a bona fide, arm's-length,
unsolicited offer to acquire the Property (the "Offer"), in writing, signed by
the Offeror setting forth all the material terms of the Offer, for the purchase
for an all cash price, without financing contingency and subject to the Initial
Management Agreement (unless it has previously been terminated), on a date set
forth in such Offer (which shall be no less than ninety (90) nor more than one
hundred eighty (180) days after the Other Member's receipt of the Offer), then,
if SHP is the party who receives the Offer, SHP shall, within thirty (30) days
after receipt thereof, if it wishes to accept the Offer, forward a true copy
thereof to Sunrise together with reasonable information as to the identity of
the Offeror, its partners or directors, officers and controlling shareholders.
(b) If SHP has forwarded a copy of the Offer to Sunrise, Sunrise
may, within forty-five (45) days after receiving a copy of the Offer, elect one
of the three following options:
(1) notify SHP that Sunrise has no objection to SHP
accepting the Offer, in which event SHP may cause the Company to sell the
Property to the Offeror upon the terms and conditions contained in the Offer and
the proceeds thereof shall result in a Major Capital Event with the proceeds to
be distributed as provided in Section 9.3; or
(2) notify SHP of Sunrise's election to purchase the
applicable Property upon the same terms and conditions contained in the Offer
except as to hour and place of closing. Such notification shall be accompanied
by an xxxxxxx money deposit in an amount equal to the deposit provided for in
the Offer. Notice of election to purchase shall be addressed to SHP and shall
set forth the hour and place of closing which, unless the Members shall
otherwise agree, shall be at the office of Sunrise's counsel, during usual
business hours on a date set forth in the Offer, but not less than sixty (60)
days from the date of the giving of the notice of election to the Selling
Member. The deposit posted by Sunrise shall be credited against the total
purchase price for the Property being purchased pursuant to this Section 10.4;
provided, however, that if the closing shall fail to occur because of a default
by Sunrise, SHP shall have the right, as its exclusive remedy, to retain the
Sunrise deposit as liquidated damages, it being agreed that in such instance
SHP's actual damages would be difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain;
42
48
If Sunrise shall not have given written notice to SHP, as
described in subsections (1) or (2) above, within such forty-five (45) day
period, Sunrise shall be deemed to have exercised the option provided in
subsection (1) above.
(c) Whether or not any transaction contemplated by the foregoing
provisions of this Section 10.4 is consummated pursuant to the provisions of the
Offer (and any modifications thereto which provide only for an increased price
or more favorable terms to SHP), all the provisions of this Section 10.4 shall
apply to any subsequent offer or offers. Only one (1) Offer may be submitted and
be pending at any one time.
(d) If Sunrise is the Member who receives an Offer which it
desires to accept, Sunrise shall deliver the Offer to SHP and in subparagraphs
(b) and (c) shall be deemed to be read so that, in each place that the names SHP
and Sunrise appear, the names shall be reversed.
10.5 Right of First Offer for Sale of Property.
(a) Subject to the provisions hereinafter set forth in this
Section 10.5, either SHP or Sunrise may, at any time from and after November 1,
2004, require the sale by the Company of the Property to a third party purchaser
(or purchasers) for not less than ninety percent (90%) of the equity portion of
the amount, and upon such terms (including a closing date), as the Member who
desires to sell ("Sending Member") may propose in a notice ("Sale Proposal") to
the other Member ("Receiving Member"). For purposes hereof, "equity portion"
shall mean the excess of the gross sales price over the then outstanding balance
of the Xxxxxxx Mac Loan or any non-Member replacement loan thereof encumbering
the Property.
(b) Within forty-five (45) days after receiving the copy of the
Sale Proposal, the Receiving Member shall notify the Sending Member that either:
(1) The Receiving Member is agreeable to the sale of the
Property by the Company to a third party purchaser (or purchasers) in accordance
with the terms set forth in the Sale Proposal (such election to permit such sale
shall be binding upon the Receiving Member for one hundred eighty (180) days)
and during such one hundred eighty (180) day period the Company shall make every
reasonable effort to effect such sale to a third party (or third parties) as
evidenced by a purchase agreement executed within such one hundred eighty (180)
day period, with closing to occur within one hundred twenty (120) days after the
execution of such purchase agreement. The Sending Member shall be entitled to
cause the Company to enter into such purchase and sale agreement within the
aforesaid one hundred eighty (180) day period and to cause the sale of the
Property to be consummated within the aforesaid one hundred twenty (120) day
period, so long as the equity portion of the purchase price to be received by
the Company is equal to or greater than ninety percent (90%) of the equity
portion of the purchase price set forth in the Sale Proposal. The Sending Member
shall have the exclusive right, but not the obligation, to conduct and perform
all marketing of the Property on behalf and at the expense of the
43
49
Company during such one hundred eighty (180) day period) and the Receiving
Member shall cooperate fully with all such marketing efforts; or
(2) The Receiving Member elects to purchase (a "Purchase
Election Notice") the Property upon the terms and conditions set forth in the
Sale Proposal; provided, however, that the equity portion of the purchase price
to be paid by the Receiving Member for the Property shall consist wholly of
cash. Any Purchase Election Notice shall be accompanied by an xxxxxxx money
deposit, payable to the Sending Member, in an amount equal to 5% of the equity
portion of the purchase price of the Property. If within such forty-five (45)
day period the Receiving Member shall deliver a Purchase Election Notice
together with the xxxxxxx money deposit to the Sending Member, then the Members
shall promptly proceed with the purchase and sale pursuant to this Section
10.5(b)(2), the closing to take place within one hundred fifty (150) days
following the date of the Purchase Election Notice, in which event the xxxxxxx
money deposit shall be credited to the Receiving Member against the total
purchase price of the Property; provided, however, that if such closing shall
fail to occur because of a default by the Receiving Member, then the Sending
Member shall have the right, as its exclusive remedy, to retain the xxxxxxx
money deposit as liquidated damages, it being agreed that in such instance its
actual damages would be difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain. After any
such default by the Receiving Member, the Sending Member shall have the right to
require the Company to sell the Property pursuant to any provisions of this
Article 10 including, without limitation, by reinstituting the procedures set
forth in this Section 10.5. If no default occurs, the closing shall take place
during normal business hours at the office of the Receiving Member's counsel or
as otherwise agreed by the Members. Failure of the Receiving Member to deliver a
Purchase Election Notice and the xxxxxxx money deposit within such forty-five
(45) day period shall be deemed an election by the Receiving Member to allow the
Sending Member to proceed with a sale of the Property under Section 10.5(b)(1).
(c) If (i) the Sending Member shall have the right and authority
to effect a sale of the Property pursuant to Section 10.5(b)(1); and (ii) the
Sending Member receives, during the one hundred eighty (180) day period in which
the Sale Proposal is in effect pursuant to Section 10.5(b)(1), an offer from a
third party to purchase the Property for a purchase price less than ninety
percent (90%) of the equity portion of the price or on other terms materially
less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Sale Proposal (the
"Alternative Offer"), which Alternative Offer is acceptable to the Sending
Member, then the Sending Member shall give notice to the Receiving Member of
such Alternative Offer, which notice shall include all of the relevant terms and
conditions of such Alternative Offer. The Receiving Member shall have the right,
for a period of forty-five (45) days after its receipt of such notice from the
Sending Member, to elect to purchase the Property in the manner set forth in
Section 10.5(b)(2) and on the terms set forth in the Alternative Offer, except
that the Receiving Member's purchase price shall be payable wholly in cash. If
the Receiving Member shall deliver notice of such election during such
forty-five (45) day period to purchase the Property as aforesaid, the purchase
and sale pursuant to this Section 10.5(c) shall occur within one hundred fifty
(150) days after receipt by the Sending Member of the notice of such election.
The provisions of Sections 10.7(a), (b),
44
50
(d), (e), (f), (g), (h) and (i) shall apply to the sale except that the date the
Sending Member gives the Receiving Member notice of the Alternative Offer shall
be the governing date referred to in Sections 10.7(e) and (f) rather than the
date of the Termination Notice. If the Receiving Member shall not elect, within
such forty-five (45) day period, to purchase the Property pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section 10.5(c), the Sending Member shall have the
right to effect a sale of the Property pursuant to the terms of the Alternative
Offer provided that the closing of such sale shall occur not later than the
closing date specified in the Sale Proposal then in effect pursuant to Section
10.5(b)(1).
(d) The Receiving Member may specify in a Purchase Election
Notice delivered pursuant to Section 10.4(b)(2) or 10.5(c) that it desires to
purchase the Sending Member's Entire Interest in the Company rather than the
Property. In such event, the Purchase Election Notice shall be accompanied by an
xxxxxxx money deposit in an amount equal to 5% of the price specified in the
next sentence. In such event, the Receiving Member shall be obligated to
purchase and the Sending Member shall be obligated to sell the Sending Member's
Entire Interest in the Company for a price equal to the amount, determined, by a
reputable, independent certified public accountant designated by the Sending
Member, (at the expense of the Receiving Member), the Sending Member would have
received (taking into account payment of Loans and Special Loans in their proper
priority, as specified in this Agreement) if the Property was sold pursuant to
the terms of the Sale Proposal and the Company were to dissolve and distribute
the proceeds of liquidation (in accordance with the procedures and priorities
stated in Article 13, provided that that the reserves, if any, as are
established pursuant to Section 13.5(b) with respect to contingent liabilities
shall be paid promptly to the Sending Member to the extent not used to pay
contingent liabilities and the deduction from the hypothetical liquidation
proceeds shall be made with respect to transfer or other taxes shall be shared
equally by the Sending Member and the Receiving Member). In connection with the
sale of the Sending Member's Entire Interest to the Receiving Member pursuant to
this Section 10.5(d), all of the provisions of Section 10.7 shall be applicable
to such sale, except the date of the delivery of the acceptance of the Offer,
Purchase Election Notice or the Alternative Offer, as the case may be, shall be
the governing date referred to in Section 10.7 (f) rather than the date of the
Termination Notice. The xxxxxxx money deposit shall be credited against the
total purchase price for the Sending Member's Entire Interest being purchased
pursuant to this Section 10.5(d), provided, however, that if the closing shall
fail to occur because of default by the Receiving Member, the Sending Member
shall have the right, as its exclusive remedy, to retain the Receiving Member
Deposit as liquidated damages, it being agreed that in such instance the Sending
Member's actual damages would be difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain.
After any such default by the Receiving Member, the Sending Member shall have
the right to require the Company to sell the Property pursuant to any provisions
of this Article 10 including, without limitation, by reinstituting the
procedures set forth in this Section 10.5.
(e) Whether or not any transaction contemplated by the foregoing
provisions of this Section 10.5 is consummated pursuant to the provisions of the
Sale Proposal, all the provisions of this Section 10.5 shall apply to any
subsequent sale proposals.
45
51
(f) During any period of time when the Sending Member or the
Company is actively marketing the Property pursuant to this Section 10.5,
neither Member shall have the right to deliver a Termination Notice pursuant to
Section 10.3.
(g) In no event shall the Sending Member be in default or have
any liability to the Receiving Member or the Company for a failure by a third
party to complete the purchase of the Property pursuant to this Section 10.5.
10.6 Sales to Competitors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth hereinabove, in no event shall SHP have the right to cause the Property to
be sold pursuant to the exercise of SHP's rights under Section 10.4 or Section
10.5 above to any Competitor of Sunrise; provided, however, that this
prohibition shall not apply in the event that the Initial Management Agreement
has been terminated and neither Sunrise nor any Affiliate of Sunrise is the
Manager of the Property. The term "Competitor of Sunrise" shall mean any entity
primarily and actively engaged in operating assisted living communities but not
companies who own all or portions of assisted living communities for investment
purposes (and are not the day-to-day manager) such as REITS, banks, pension
advisors, insurance companies, venture capital groups and the like.
10.7 General Transfer Provisions. All of the subsections of this
Section 10.7 shall apply to the sale of one Member's Entire Interest to the
other Member pursuant to Section 10.3, 10.4 or 10.5(d). Subsections (a), (b),
(d), (e), (f), (g), (h) and (i) of this Section 10.7 shall apply to the sale of
the Property by the Company to a Member pursuant to Section 10.5:
(a) In the event of the sale of an Entire Interest, the purchase
price shall be paid, at the selling Member's option, by certified check drawn to
the order of the selling Member, or by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to an account which is designated by the selling Member. In the event of a
sale of the Property, the purchase price shall be paid, at the Company's option,
by certified check drawn to the order of the Company, or by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to an account which is designated by the Company. At
the closing there shall be an accounting as of the closing of the Company's
books and there shall be an adjustment of the purchase price based upon a
proration of any accrued income and expenses as of the closing date. Within
ninety (90) days after the closing the Accountants for the Company shall
complete an audit of such accounting and proration and shall deliver their audit
report to the selling Member and the purchasing Member. If such audit report
shall adjust such proration, the party in whose favor such adjustment is made
shall promptly be paid by the other party the amount of such adjustment. At the
closing either Member shall have the right to require to be placed in escrow
with an escrow agent reasonably acceptable to the other Member an amount not to
exceed the maximum likely post-closing adjustment of the proration as agreed by
the Members or, if they shall be unable to agree, as estimated by a reputable
independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to both parties,
and the escrow agent shall distribute the escrowed amount to the party or
parties entitled thereto promptly after the delivery of the audit report. If
such escrow is established at the request of the purchasing Member, a portion of
the
46
52
purchase price shall be set aside for such purpose, and if such escrow is
established at the request of the selling Member, additional funds shall be
deposited by the purchasing Member at closing. At closing the selling Member
shall deliver to the purchasing Member a "nonforeign affidavit" as referred to
in the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the purchasing Member together with original
counterparts or certified copies of all leases and service contracts affecting
the Property.

title insurance policy or survey or both, it shall pay for same at its own
expense.
(c) If there shall be any outstanding Special Loan(s) or Loan(s)
by the selling Member to the Company, the outstanding principal balance of such
Special Loan(s) or Loan(s), including interest thereon accrued and unpaid, shall
be considered a disbursement to be paid by the purchasing Member at Closing (in
addition to the purchase price). of immediately available funds to an account
designated by the selling Member. At the closing, the selling Member shall
deliver to the purchasing Member, each note evidencing such Special Loans(s) or
Loan(s).
(d) On payment of the purchase price, the purchasing Member
shall, at its option, as to each Company debt, obligation or claim against the
Company for which the selling Member or any of its Affiliates (or, if the
selling Member is Sunrise, any Affiliate) is or may be personally liable except
for any debts, obligations or claims which are fully insured by public liability
insurer(s) acceptable to the selling Member (the public liability insurer(s) of
the Company shall be deemed to be acceptable), elect one of the following
options: (i) obtain a release of the selling Member and its Affiliates (and, if
the selling Member is Sunrise, their Affiliates) from all liability, direct or
contingent, by all holders of each such Company debt, obligation or claim, or
(ii) cause the same to be paid in full at the closing to the satisfaction of the
selling Member. In addition, the purchasing Member shall defend, indemnify and
hold the selling Member and its Affiliates (and, if the selling Member is
Sunrise, their Affiliates) harmless for, from and against all debts, liabilities
and obligations of, and all claims against, the Company, whether then existing
or thereafter to arise, not paid in full or released pursuant to the preceding
sentence; provided, however, that such indemnification shall not extend to those
claims arising in whole or in part from intentional acts or omissions or
negligence proximately caused by the selling Member. Both Members and the
Company shall also execute a mutual general release pursuant to which the
selling Member shall release the Company and the purchasing Member and its
Affiliates (and, if the purchasing Member is Sunrise, their Affiliates) and the
purchasing Member shall release the Company and the selling Member and its
Affiliates (and, if the selling Member is Sunrise, their Affiliates) from all
liabilities and obligations (whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen or
previously accrued or thereafter accruing) relating to the Company or the
Property, other than those arising from the indemnities given pursuant to this
Section 10.7(d).
(e) Both Members (including the selling Member) shall be
entitled to any distributions of Operating Cash Flow from the Company in
accordance with Section 9.2(a)
47
53
following the giving of the Termination Notice pursuant to Section 10.3 (or
following such other event as set forth in Section 10.4 or 10.5) and until the
closing. Except as provided in Section 10.7(j), the purchasing Member shall
receive all distributions of Operating Cash Flow after the closing.
(f) If the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty, or if
any entity possessing the right of eminent domain shall give notice of an
intention to take or acquire a substantial part of the Property, and such damage
occurs, or such notice is given, between the date of the giving of the
Termination Notice pursuant to Section 10.3 (or such other date as set forth in
Section 10.4 or 10.5) and the closing date of the purchase of an interest in the
Company or the purchase of the Property the following shall apply:
(1) If the Property is damaged by a casualty not
resulting in substantial damage or if the taking or acquisition shall not result
in a substantial reduction in the income producing capacity of the Property,
then the Members shall be required to complete the transaction and the
purchasing Member shall in lieu of any reduction in purchase price (except as
provided in Section 10.7(f)(3)) accept an assignment of the insurance or
condemnation proceeds.
(2) If the Property is damaged by a casualty resulting in
substantial damage, or if the taking or acquisition shall result in a
substantial reduction in the income producing capacity of the Property, then the
purchasing Member shall have the option (to be exercised within thirty (30) days
from the date of the occurrence of the casualty or receipt of the notice of
condemnation) to either (i) accept the Property in an "as is" condition together
with the right to receive any insurance proceeds, settlements and awards, or
(ii) cancel the purchase.
(3) The purchase price otherwise to be paid at closing
shall be adjusted downwards by an amount equal to the deductible, if any, for
any insured casualty or, in the case of the closing of the sale of a Member's
interest in the Company, the amount by which the purchase price payable to the
selling Member would be reduced if the amount of such deductible were a
liability of the Company.
If the purchase is canceled by the purchasing Member pursuant to
the above provisions, the terms of this Agreement shall remain in effect and
continue to be binding on the Members. For purposes of this Section 10.7(f),
substantial damage to the Property shall mean damage which would cost 10% or
more of the fair market value of the Property (prior to such damage and
determined as provided in Section 6.7(a) above) to repair and a substantial
reduction in the income producing capacity of the Property shall mean a
reduction of 10% or more.
(g) At the closing of a sale of the Property, the Members shall
both execute, as members of the Company, and deliver a limited or special
warranty deed, a xxxx of sale to the purchaser of all of the assets of the
Company and assignments to the purchaser of any and all leases or service
contracts affecting the Property, subject only to the liens and encumbrances
listed in the Sale Proposal. In the case of the sale of an interest in the
Company, the selling
48
54
Member shall execute an assignment of such interest, free and clear of all
liens, encumbrances and adverse claims, which assignment shall otherwise be in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the purchasing Member, and such
other instruments as the purchasing Member shall reasonably require to assign
the interest of the selling Member to such person or entity as the purchasing
Member may designate. Such documents shall be prepared by the purchasing Member
and closing costs and all other charges involved in closing the sale (except for
attorneys' fees (each party paying their own) and title insurance costs (to be
paid by the purchaser)) shall be prorated between SHP and Sunrise in the ratio
of the Percentage Interests of the Members. Stamp, recording, transfer or
similar taxes arising in connection with the sale of the interest, if any, shall
be paid by the selling Member.
(h) The Company shall be dissolved following the closing date,
the resolution of all contingent liabilities, the disbursement of any unused
reserves for contingent liabilities and the final winding up of the affairs of
the Company as provided in Article 13.
(i) It is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that the
requirements or obligations, if any, of one Member to sell its Entire Interest
(or a portion thereof), or to join in the conveyance by the Company of the
Property in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.3, 10.4 or 10.5, shall
be enforceable by an action for specific performance of a contract relating to
the purchase of real property or an interest therein. It is the intent of the
parties to this Agreement that the requirements or obligations, if any, of one
Member to purchase the Entire Interest (or a portion thereof) of the Other
Member pursuant to Sections 10.3 and 10.4 (and Sunrise's obligation to purchase
in Section 10.5) shall be subject to the liquidated damages provisions contained
in Sections 10.3 and 10.4 (and as described in Section 10.5), and that neither
Member shall have any liability for the failure of the other Member or a third
party to purchase in accordance with Section 10.5. If the selling Member shall
have created or suffered any unauthorized liens, encumbrances or other adverse
interest against either the Property or the selling Member's interest in the
Company, the purchasing Member shall be entitled either to an action for
specific performance to compel the selling Member to have such defects removed,
in which case the closing shall be adjourned for such purpose, or, at the
purchasing Member's option, to an appropriate offset against the purchase price.
(j) In the event of the purchase of an interest in the Company
of one Member by the other Member, at the option of the purchasing Member, the
interest will be transferred to a nominee of the purchasing Member.
10.8 Compliance with ERISA. In connection with any closing of a
transaction pursuant to this Article 10, Sunrise and SHP each agree to provide
written certification to each other, in a form reasonably satisfactory to both
parties, to establish that no Plan Violation (or any violation under ERISA)
would result from the transaction. SHP will provide Sunrise all information
necessary to allow Sunrise to ascertain whether or not a Plan Violation would
occur as a result of any sale proposed by Sunrise. The Company will not enter
into any agreements, or
49
55
suffer any conditions, that SHP determines would result in a Plan Violation. SHP
and Sunrise will cooperate to discover and correct Plan Violations.

11 only, the term Member shall also include the managing general partner of any
such Member) that is an entity shall be dissolved or merged with or consolidated
into another corporation or entity, or if all or substantially all of its assets
shall be sold or transferred, then unless such dissolution, merger,
consolidation, sale or transfer is expressly permitted under Article 10, such
dissolution, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer shall be a dissolution of
the Company, and the other Member shall be the Liquidating Member in the
dissolution of the Company.
11.2 Bankruptcy, etc. In the event:
(a) either Member shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy
or shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or seek any reorganization, arrangement,

or similar relief under the present or any future federal bankruptcy code or any
other present or future applicable federal, state or other statute or law
relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, or other relief for debtors, and said Member
shall acquiesce in the entry for such order, judgment or decree (the term
"acquiesce" includes but is not limited to the failure to file a petition or

substantial part of said Member's property or its interest in the Company shall
be appointed without the consent or acquiescence of said Member and such
appointment shall remain unvacated and unstayed for an aggregate of sixty (60)
days (whether or not consecutive); or

Member shall be the Liquidating Member.
ARTICLE 12. DEFAULT
12.1 Defaults. After the Effective Date, (i) if either Member fails to
perform any of its obligations hereunder, breaches any of the terms, conditions
or covenants of this Agreement, or (ii) in the event of an uncured default by
any Affiliate under the Initial Management Agreement or the Contribution
Agreement as well as any other agreement entered into between the Company and
Sunrise or an Affiliate of Sunrise (collectively, the "Affiliate Agreements") or
(iii) in the event of any transfer, encumbrance, assignment or change of control
by Initial Property Manager in violation of the terms of the Initial Management
Agreement, as if Initial Property Manager or such Affiliate were a Member, then
the other Member ("Nondefaulting Member") shall have the right to give such
party ("Defaulting Member" (which, in the case of any default by Sunrise or an
Affiliate under clause (ii) or (iii) above, shall be Sunrise)) a notice of
default ("Notice of Default"). The Notice of Default shall set forth the nature
of the obligation which the Defaulting Member (or its Affiliate, if applicable)
has not performed.
(a) If such default is not curable by the payment or expenditure
of money and if, within the sixty (60) day period following receipt of the
Notice of Default or within such shorter time period that may be specified in
the Affiliate Agreement, the Defaulting Member (or its Affiliate, if applicable)
in good faith commences to perform such obligation and cure such default and
thereafter prosecutes to completion with diligence and continuity the curing
thereof and cures such default within a reasonable time (not to exceed one
hundred eighty (180) days), then it shall be deemed that the Notice of Default
was not given and the Defaulting Member shall lose no rights hereunder. If,
within such sixty (60)day period the Defaulting Member (or its Affiliate, if
applicable) does not commence in good faith the curing of such default or does
not thereafter prosecute to completion with diligence and continuity the curing
thereof, then a "Default shall exist and the Nondefaulting Member shall have the
rights set forth in Section 12.1(d).
(b) If such default is curable by the payment or expenditure of
money other than a default described in Section 4.6 which sets forth its own
time periods for cure, and if such sums of money shall be paid within thirty
(30) days after receipt of the Notice of Default with respect thereto, then it
shall be deemed that such Notice of Default was not given and the
51
57
Defaulting Member shall lose no rights hereunder. If such sums are not so paid
within such thirty (30) day period, then a "Default" shall exist and the
Nondefaulting Member shall have the rights set forth in Section 12.1(d) in
addition to the rights under Section 4.6 (to the extent applicable).
(c) If such default arises out of a violation of Section 10.1 or
the violation by the Initial Property Manager of the transfer, assignment or
change of control provisions of the Initial Management Agreement, then, a
"Default" shall exist and the Nondefaulting Member shall immediately have the
rights set forth in Section 12.1(d), without the obligation to provide any
notice or cure periods.
(d) If any Default exists, the Nondefaulting Member shall have
the right to terminate this Agreement by giving the Defaulting Member written
notice thereof, whereupon such default may be treated by the Nondefaulting
Member as a dissolution of the Company, and the Nondefaulting Member shall be
the Liquidating Member. In addition, if the Defaulting Member is Sunrise, SHP
shall have the right to replace Sunrise as Managing Member and shall also have
the right to cause the Company to terminate the Initial Management Agreement.
Failure by a Nondefaulting Member to give any notice of a default
as specified herein, or any failure to insist upon strict performance of any of
the terms of this Agreement, shall not constitute a waiver of any such breach or
any of the terms of this Agreement. No breach shall be waived nor shall any duty
to be performed be altered or modified except by written instrument. One or more
waivers or failure to give notice of default shall not be construed as a waiver
of a subsequent or continuing breach of the same covenant.
12.2 Negation of Right to Dissolve by Will of Member. Except as set
forth in Articles 10 and 11 and in Section 12.1, neither Member shall have the
right to terminate this Agreement or dissolve the Company by its express will or
by withdrawal without the consent of the other Member. Upon any dissolution
occurring by operation of law or caused by the express will or withdrawal of one
of the Members in contravention of this Agreement, the Member not causing the
dissolution shall be the Liquidating Member.
12.3 Non-Exclusive Remedy. The rights granted in Section 12.1 shall not
be deemed an exclusive remedy of the Nondefaulting Member, but all other rights
and remedies, legal and equitable, shall be available to it, subject to any
express limitations on remedies provided in specific circumstances elsewhere in
this Agreement (e.g. in Article 10).
ARTICLE 13. DISSOLUTION
13.1 Winding Up by Members. Upon dissolution of the Company by
expiration of the term hereof, by operation of law, by any provision of this
Agreement or by agreement between the Members, the Company's business shall be
wound up and all its assets distributed in liquidation. In such dissolution,
except as otherwise expressly provided in Articles 10, 11 and 12,
52
58
the Members shall be co-liquidating Members. In such event the Members shall
have rights to wind up the Company and shall proceed to cause the Company's
property to be sold and to distribute the proceeds of sale as provided in
Section 13.5. Except in respect of (i) all assets on which a single,
non-severable mortgage or other lien will be in effect after such distribution,
and (ii) any assets which the Members shall determine are not readily severable
or distributable in kind, the Members, to the extent that liquidation of such
assets is not required to fulfill the payments, if any, under subsections (a),
(b), (c) and (d) of Section 13.5, shall, if they agree, have the right to
distribute, in kind, all or a portion of the assets of the Company to the
Members.
13.2 Winding Up by Liquidating Member. In a dissolution pursuant to
Article 10, 11 or 12, the Liquidating Member shall be as therein provided and
such Liquidating Member shall have the right to:
(a) Wind up the Company and cause the Company's assets to be
sold and the proceeds of sale distributed as provided in Section 13.5; or
(b) Deliver to the other Member within thirty (30) days after
the commencement of dissolution of the Company a notice (a "Demand Notice")
demanding that the other Member deliver, within forty-five (45) days after the
date of the Demand Notice, a Termination Notice in the manner and setting forth
the information required under Section 10.3(a). Upon receipt of the Termination
Notice, the Liquidating Member shall have the rights of the Other Member under
Section 10.3(b).
(c) If the other Member refuses or fails, within forty-five (45)
days after the giving of the Demand Notice to the other Member, to give the
Liquidating Member a Termination Notice setting forth the information required
by Section 10.3(a), the Liquidating Member may elect to purchase the other
Member's Entire Interest for a price established as ninety percent (90%) of the
fair market value of the other Member's Entire Interest, as established by an
experienced business appraiser selected by the Liquidating Member(the "Default
Price") . The other Member shall be notified of such election within thirty (30)
days after expiration of the 45-day period referred to in the preceding
sentence.
All of the provisions of Section 10.7 shall apply to a purchase under this
Section 13.2(c) except that for the purposes of this Section 13.2(c), the date
the other Member receives the Demand Notice shall be the governing date referred
to in Sections 10.7(e) and (f) rather than the date of the giving of the
Termination Notice. As soon as possible after the dissolution of the Company,
the Liquidating Member shall file a notice of winding up with the Delaware
Corporation Commission as required by Act Section 29-781.B.
13.3 Offset for Damages. In the event of dissolution resulting from an
event described in Article 11 or 12, the Liquidating Member shall be entitled to
deduct from the amount payable to the other Member pursuant to Section 13.2(a)
or (b), Section 13.4 or Section 13.5 the amount
53
59
of reasonable, out of pocket costs incurred by the Liquidating Member
proximately resulting from any such event.
13.4 Distributions of Operating Cash Flow. Subject to Section 13.5
hereof as to proceeds of liquidation, upon the dissolution of the Company for
any reason during the period of liquidation and until termination of the Company
the Members shall continue to receive the Operating Cash Flow and to share
profits and losses for all tax and other purposes as provided elsewhere in this
Agreement.
13.5 Distributions of Proceeds of Liquidation. For purposes of this
Section 13.5, "proceeds of liquidation" shall equal cash available for
liquidation, net of liens secured by the Property, provided that neither the
Company nor either of the Members shall be personally liable on, or they shall
be released from such debts. The proceeds of liquidation shall be applied in the
following order of priority:
(a) First. To the payment of:
(1) debts and liabilities of the Company except Loans and
Special Loans (as referenced in Sections 13.5(c), below) that may
have been made by either of the Members to the Company, and
(2) expenses of liquidation.
(b) Second. To the setting up of any reserves which the
Liquidating Member or Members, as the case may be, may deem necessary for any
contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company or of the
Members arising out of or in connection with the Company. Said reserves may be
deposited by the Company in a bank or trust company acceptable to the
Liquidating Member or Members, as the case may be, to be held by it for the
purpose of disbursing such reserves in payment of any of the aforementioned
liabilities or obligations, and at the expiration of such period as the
Liquidating Member or Members, as the case may be, shall deem advisable,
distributing the balance, if any, thereafter remaining, in a manner hereinafter
provided.
(c) Third. To the repayment of any Loans and Special Loans that
may have been made by either of the Members pursuant to Section 5.1, but if the
amount available for such repayment shall be insufficient to repay all Loans and
Special Loans, then repayment shall be made pro rata in accordance with the
outstanding principal balances, including accrued interest, on such Loans and
Special Loans.
(d) Fourth. To the return of all Priority Capital Contributions
(including the effect of the 3X multiplier), together with any accrued SHP
Preferred Return and Sunrise Preferred Return arising therefrom, if any, pro
rata, in proportion to the respective amounts thereof.
54
60
(e) Fifth. The excess proceeds, if any, after applying the
proceeds as described in (a) through (d) above, shall be distributed as
Extraordinary Cash Flow.
13.6 Orderly Liquidation. A reasonable time shall be allowed for the
orderly liquidation of the assets of the Company and the discharge of
liabilities to creditors so as to enable the Members to minimize the losses
normally attendant upon a liquidation.
13.7 Financial Statements. During the period of winding up, a reputable
independent certified public accountant selected by the Liquidating Member shall
prepare and furnish to each of the Members, until complete liquidation is
accomplished, all the financial statements provided for in Section 7.1.
13.8 Restoration of Deficit Capital Accounts. At no time during the
term of the Company shall a Member with a deficit balance in its Capital Account
have any obligation to the Company or to another Member or to any other person
to restore such deficit balance.
13.9 Intention of the Members. It is the intention of the Members that
the liquidating distributions described in Section 13.5 shall be accomplished in
a manner such that the economic effect of such distributions to the Members will
be consistent with the economic effect the Members would have recognized had all
liquidating distributions been made in accordance with the provisions of Section
9.3(b) hereof. The Liquidating Member shall take any and all actions permissible
under the Code and Regulations, including but not limited to, special
allocations of gross income, Loss and Profit, to accomplish the purposes of this
Section 13.9.
ARTICLE 14. MEMBERS
14.1 Liability. A Member shall not be personally liable for the debts,
liabilities or obligations of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a
Member will be liable for any distributions made to it, if, after such
distribution, the outstanding liabilities of the Company (other than liabilities
to Members on account of their interests in the Company and liabilities for
which the recourse of creditors is limited to specific Company property) exceed
the fair value of the Company's assets (provided that the fair value of Company
property that secures recourse liability shall be included only to the extent
its fair value exceeds such liability) and the Member had knowledge of this fact
at the time the referenced distribution was received.
14.2 Non-Compete Agreement. Neither Sunrise nor any of its Affiliates
will own any interest whatsoever in, or develop, any senior housing facility
within the "Non-Compete Area" surrounding the Property, without the prior
written consent of SHP, which consent may be granted or withheld by SHP in its
sole, absolute discretion without regard to any reasonableness standard. The
term "Non-Compete Area" shall mean a ring which is five miles in diameter which
has the Property as its center. Notwithstanding the foregoing restrictions,
either Sunrise or its Affiliates may purchase a multiple property portfolio of
facilities that includes a facility or

facilities within the Non-Compete Area, provided that at least seventy-five
percent (75%) of the overall value of the portfolio is in properties located
outside the Non-Compete Areas. The prohibition set forth herein shall not
prohibit Sunrise (or an Affiliate) from managing any facility within the
Non-Compete Area so long as Sunrise has a 25% or less ownership in the
applicable facility and Sunrise has not otherwise acquired any interest in or
developed the applicable facility in violation of the provisions of this Section
14.2.
