with diligence reasonably satisfactory to Lender after receipt of notice to cure
the same or, in any event, fails to cure such default within twenty (20) days

7.2 Remedies
on Default.
Whenever any Event of Default occurs, Lender may, in addition to any other
remedies under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity, take any one or more of
the following remedial steps concurrently or successively:
7.2.1 Acceleration. Lender
may declare the Loan to be immediately due and payable, without presentment of
any kind, demand, notice of dishonor, protest or other notice of any kind, all
of which Borrower hereby waives.
7.2.2 Foreclosure. Lender
may foreclose on any and all collateral securing the Loan including the interest
of Borrower under the Leases, as encumbered by the Mortgage. The proceeds of
foreclosure shall secure all obligations of the Borrower to Lender under the
Loan Documents, under the Existing HRT Leases, and under any New HRT
Leases.
7.2.3 Assumption
of Lease.
Pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of the Intercreditor
Agreement, Lender may elect to assume all rights, title, and interest of
Borrower under the Lease without terminating the Mortgage, and may thereafter
assign or sublet the Leased Property or any portions thereof. If Lender elects
to assume the Lease, at the option of Lender, Borrower agrees either [i] to
sublet the Leased Property from Lender under an arrangement pursuant to which
cash flow, after operating expenses, rent due to the Landlord, taxes, insurance,
and a reasonable management fee, shall be applied to the obligations of Borrower
to Lender under the Loan Documents, or, [ii] to manage the Leased Property
pursuant to a management agreement with Lender pursuant to which Lender would
pay Borrower a reasonable management fee to manage the operations of the Leased
Property. Should Lender elect to assume all rights, title and interest of
Borrower under the Lease, to enter into a sublease with Borrower or a management
agreement with Borrower, and should, in any such event, Borrower refuse to
execute commercially reasonably documents required by Lender (including, without
limitation an assignment of lease, a sublease, or a management agreement), then
Lender shall be entitled to a temporary restraining order granting possession of
the Leased Property to Lender, and injunctive relief immediately requiring
Borrower to execute such documents. Should Lender enter into a sublease or
management agreement as provided above, and during the term of such agreement
EBITDARM coverage for the Leased Property falls below 1.0 to 1.0 for a period of
three consecutive calendar months following the assumption. Lender shall have
the right to terminate the sublease or management agreement. In no event shall
the assumption of the lease by HRT release Borrower or any of its affiliates
from any liability or obligation under the Lease to HCN.
7.2.4 Default
Under Other Leases. Lender
may elect to declare an Event of Default under any Existing HRT Lease, any New
HRT Lease (defined below), any Substitute Lease (defined below), and any other
lease then in effect between HRT or any Affiliate of HRT, as Landlord, and
Emeritus or any Affiliate of Emeritus, as Tenant. In such event, no further
notices or cure periods shall be required under any such leases, notwithstanding
any provisions to the contrary contained therein.
7.2.5 Other
Remedies. Lender
may take whatever action at law or in equity as may appear necessary or
desirable to collect any monies then due and/or thereafter to become
due.
7.2.6 Waiver. Without
waiving any prior or subsequent Event of Default, Lender may waive any Event of
Default or, with or without waiving any Event of Default, remedy any
default.
ARTICLE
8: MISCELLANEOUS
8.1 Advances
by Lender. At any
time and from time to time, Lender may incur and/or pay and/or advance costs or
expenses: [i] which Lender is authorized or has the right (but not necessarily
the obligation) to incur or may incur under any Loan Document or any law; [ii]
in exercising any right or remedy provided under any Loan Document or in taking
any action which Lender is authorized to take under any Loan Document; [iii]
which are required to be paid by Borrower under any Loan Document or Lease
Document, but which Borrower fails to pay upon demand; or [iv] from which
Borrower is required to hold Lender harmless under any Loan Document, but from
which Borrower fails to hold Lender harmless. Any costs, expenses, or advances
incurred or paid by Lender shall become part of the Loan and, upon demand, shall
be paid to Lender together with interest thereon at the Default Rate (as defined
in the Note) from the date of disbursement by Lender.
8.2 No
Novation. This
Agreement does not constitute a novation of any of the prior promissory notes,
loan agreements, or security documents evidencing or securing the indebtedness
which is currently included in the Loan or any prior modifications or
restatements thereof. This Agreement constitutes an amendment and restatement of
the remaining balance of the same indebtedness evidenced and secured by such
prior documents, together with an additional advance under the terms of this
Agreement.
8.3 Construction
of Rights and Remedies and Waiver of Notice and Consent.
8.3.1 Applicability. The
provisions of this §8.3 shall apply to all rights and remedies provided by any
Loan Document or by law or equity.
8.3.2 Waiver
of Notices and Consent to Remedies. Unless
otherwise expressly provided herein, any right or remedy may be pursued without
notice to or further consent of Borrower, both of which Borrower
waives.
8.3.3 Cumulative
Rights. Each
right or remedy under the Loan Documents is distinct from but cumulative to each
other right or remedy provided in the Loan Documents and may be exercised
independently of, concurrently with, or successively to any other such rights
and remedies.
8.3.4 Extension
or Modification of Loan. No
extension of time for or modification of amortization of the Loan shall release
the liability or bar the availability of any right or remedy against Borrower or
any successor in interest, and Lender shall not be required to commence
proceedings against Borrower or any successor or to extend time for payment or
otherwise to modify amortization of the Loan secured by this Agreement by reason
of any demand by Borrower or any successor.
8.3.5 Right
to Select Security. Lender
has the right to proceed at its election against all security or against any
item or items of such security from time to time, and no action against any item
or items of security shall bar subsequent actions against any item or items of
security.
8.3.6 Forbearance
Not a Waiver. No
forbearance in exercising any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof;
no forbearance in exercising any right or remedy on any one or more occasion
shall operate as a waiver thereof on any further occasion; and no single or
partial exercise of any right or remedy shall preclude any other exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.
8.3.7 No
Waiver. Failure
by Lender to insist upon the strict performance of any of the covenants and
agreements herein set forth or to exercise any rights or remedies upon default
by Borrower hereunder shall not be considered or taken as a waiver or
relinquishment for the future of the right to insist upon and to enforce by
mandamus or other appropriate legal or equitable remedy strict compliance by
Borrower with all of the covenants and conditions hereof, or of the rights to
exercise any such rights or remedies, if such default by Borrower is continued
or repeated, or of the right to recover possession of the Facility by reason
thereof. To the extent permitted by law, any two or more of such rights or
remedies may be exercised at the same time.
8.3.8 No
Continuing Waivers. If any
covenant or agreement contained in the Loan Documents is breached by Borrower
and thereafter waived by Lender, such waiver shall be limited to the particular
breach so waived and shall not be deemed to waive any other breach hereunder. No
waiver shall be binding unless it is in writing and signed by Lender. No course
of dealing between Lender and Borrower, nor any delay nor omission on the part
of Lender in exercising any rights under the Loan Documents, shall operate as a
waiver.
8.3.9 Approval
Not a Waiver.
Lender’s review and approval of any contracts relating to a Facility shall not
constitute a waiver by Lender of any of the terms or requirements of the Loan
Documents which may conflict with any provision of any such
contracts.
8.3.10 No
Release.
Borrower and any other person now or hereafter obligated for the payment or
performance of all or any part of the Note shall not be released from paying and
performing under the Note by reason of [i] the failure of Lender to comply with
any request of Borrower (or of any other person so obligated), to take action to
enforce any of the provisions of the Loan Documents, or [ii] the release,
regardless of consideration, of the obligations of any person liable for payment
or performance of the Note, or any part thereof, or [iii] any agreement or
stipulation extending the time of payment or modifying the terms of the Note,
and in the event of such agreement or stipulation, Borrower and all such other
persons shall continue to be liable under such documents, as amended by such
agreement or stipulation, unless expressly released and discharged in writing by
Lender.
8.4 Assignment.
8.4.1 Assignment
by Lender. Lender
may assign, negotiate, pledge, or transfer this Agreement, the Note and all
other Loan Documents to any third party or parties for any purpose and, in case
of such assignment, the rights and remedies of Lender shall be enforceable
against Borrower by such party or parties with the same force and effect and to
the same extent as the same would have been enforceable by Lender but for such
assignment.

Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Lease Documents, and Existing HRT
Leases, and the other documents referred to herein constitute the entire

and supersedes all prior negotiations, discussions or writings with respect

Borrower requests Lender’s consent to any change in ownership, merger or
consolidation of Borrower, any assumption of the Loan, or any modification of
the Loan Documents, Borrower shall provide Lender all relevant information and

connection with Lender’s evaluation of Borrower’s request, the preparation of
any documents and amendments, the subsequent amendment of any documents between
Lender and its collateral pool lenders (if applicable), and all related

Agreement has been prepared by Lender and its professional advisors and reviewed
by Borrower and its professional advisors. Lender, Borrower and their advisors

ARTICLE
9: ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS IN CONNECTION WITH SECOND AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT
9.1 Secured
by Mortgage. The
Loan shall be secured by all real property and other collateral described in the
Mortgage, including any Personal Property assigned or pledged thereunder. The
Loan shall also be secured by any deposits, letters of credit, or other
collateral for the Loan previously provided to the holder of the Loan. All such
additional collateral is listed on Exhibit
D attached
hereto and incorporated herein by reference. A schedule of all Personal Property
for each Facility shall also be provided by Borrower to Lender, and updated from
time to time, at Lender’s request. Borrower shall execute such UCC financing
statements and other documents as Lender may reasonably require to perfect any
security interest granted in the Mortgage or otherwise to secure the performance
of Borrower’s obligations hereunder.
9.2 Venue. Any
actions for enforcement of the Loan Documents shall be brought in courts located
in the Middle District of Tennessee, which is the location of the chief
executive offices of Lender.
9.3 Oral
Agreements. ORAL
AGREEMENTS OR ORAL COMMITMENTS TO LOAN MONEY, EXTEND CREDIT OR TO FOREBEAR FROM
ENFORCING REPAYMENT OF A DEBT ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
WASHINGTON.
9.4 Impairment
of Leases.
Borrower will not agree to the modification of any Lease, the termination of any
Lease, or the application of any insurance proceeds or condemnation proceeds
with respect to any Facility without the prior written consent of Lender, not to
be unreasonably withheld. Borrower irrevocably assigns to Lender Borrower’s
right to treat any Lease as terminated under 11 U.S.C. Section 365 (h)(1)(A)(i)
or any comparable provision of law, including Borrower’s right to exercise any
option to reject or terminate the Lease any right of Borrower to object to any
sale of any Facility or any interest in any Facility and under Section 11 U.S.C.
363, or otherwise, in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding affecting Borrower
or any Lease. This assignment of Borrower’s rights is absolute and shall last
until such time as the Loan has been fully satisfied and the Mortgage has been
released. At such time, Borrower’s rights under the applicable bankruptcy or
insolvency laws shall automatically vest in Borrower.
9.5 Notices
Under Any Lease.
Borrower will promptly furnish Lender with copies of any notices received from
the landlord of any Lease with respect to the condition of any Facility, the
existence or possibility of any default under the Lease, or the potential
termination of the Lease. Lender shall have the right to cure any defaults under
any Lease, at Borrower’s expense.
9.6 Claims
Against Prior Lender.
Borrower has no claims against HCN or any other rights of offset against the
Note, counterclaims, or any defenses against payment obligations under the Note
arising prior to the Effective Date. Borrower waives the right to any such
claims of offset, counterclaims, or defenses, known or unknown.
9.7 Demolitions
or Alterations of Facilities.
Borrower will not make or permit any demolitions or material alterations of any
improvements located at any Facilities without the prior written consent of
Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld; except as otherwise required or
permitted without Landlord’s consent under the Lease documents in which case
Lender’s consent shall not be required.
9.8 Substitution
and Addition of Facilities Securing Loan. Subject
to the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, the Mortgage of a particular Lease may be released and replaced with
new collateral upon request by Borrower as follows: (i) Borrower may grant a
leasehold mortgage in favor of Lender on its interest with respect to a
substitute facility (“Substitute Facility”) under a substitute lease
(“Substitute Lease”) with equal or better economics (not leased from Lender) or
(ii) Borrower, or an affiliate, as Tenant, and Lender, or an affiliate, as
Landlord, may enter into one or more new leases for additional Facilities (each
a “New HRT Lease”). In determining whether or not to give such consent to
substitution of collateral, Lender may consider commercially reasonably factors
including, without limitation, occupancy rates, debt service coverage ratios,
total revenues, total expenses, and EBITDA for the proposed Substitute Facility,
as well as the value that a New HRT Lease would contribute to the existing
Lender/Borrower portfolio. Borrower shall pay all attorneys’ fees and other
costs of Lender incurred in connection with consideration of the proposed
substitution of collateral. If Lender agrees to the substitution of collateral,
then a Mortgage shall be provided for the Substitute Lease in the same form as
the Mortgage encumbering the replaced Facility, and all representations and
warranties contained in this Agreement with respect to Facilities shall be
deemed to be effective with respect to the Mortgage of the Substitute Lease and
the Substitute Facility as of the effective date of the substituted Mortgage. On
such date, the existing Mortgage which is being replaced will be released of
record. All costs incurred in connection with the substitution of collateral
transaction will be paid by Borrower, including, without limitation, attorneys’
fees, costs of title insurance, survey, environmental assessment, property
condition reports, and similar commercial loan items as may be reasonably
required by Lender.
Should a
new lease of a Facility be added by Borrower and HCN as a new Master Lease
Facility under the Master Lease, then Borrower shall simultaneously grant to
Lender a Leasehold Mortgage on the new lease on the same terms and conditions as
are provided herein.
9.9 Indemnity.
Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless for any claims, losses,
expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and consultant fees),
liabilities, or other losses incurred as a result of the breach of any
representations, warranties, or covenants contained in the Loan
Documents.
9.10 Inconsistencies
with Intercreditor Agreement. This
Agreement is subject to the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event that the
